Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"Go down. Your house is still empty. If you need anything, you can tell Li Defu. As long as I have it, I can reward you."

Ye Jingyu was still looking out the window, his deep voice leaving no room for doubt.

Yin Zhong bowed and said: "I don't dare to ask for more. I am very grateful to be able to return to the capital."

Looking at Yin Zhong's gray hair, Ye Jingyu sighed softly.

"I was sorry for the Yin family in the Jiangwu incident in the past. I can only do my best to compensate you. If you ask for anything, don't be polite to me."

Yin Zhong said respectfully: "Yin Zhong is very grateful to be able to return to the capital. Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Ye Jingyu smiled lightly: "In that case, just step back."

"My lord, please retire."

The father and son bowed and retreated, leaving the imperial study room.

Ye Jingyu stood in front of the window for a while, and then went to Qinghua Palace, Ye Haitang's residence.

Ye Haitang was playing with a palm-sized perfume bottle, looking bored.

She didn't know what the situation was at the moment, and she didn't dare to talk to the eldest brother. It was really boring.

Hearing the footsteps, Ye Haitang lazily raised his head.

Seeing Ye Jingyu, he immediately stood up.

"Haitang meets the eldest brother."

"Excuse me. The weather is nice today. Why didn't you go out for a walk?"

Ye Jingyu stretched out his finger and patted Ye Haitang's head gently.

Ye Haitang shrank his neck.

"It's very hot outside and there's not much fun."

Ye Jingyu said gently: "It's been raining all day, but it's still refreshing today. Please go out for a walk with me."

Ye Haitang hesitated and said, "Okay."

After leaving Qinghua Palace, the brother and sister headed west, in the direction of Leng Palace.

Ye Haitang was a little nervous and stretched out his hand to tug Ye Jingyu's sleeve.

"Brother, there's nothing interesting over there. Let's go to the Imperial Garden."

Ye Jingyu didn't stop.

"I want to visit Leng Palace, so you can follow me."

Ye Haitang said anxiously: "What's there to see there? I heard that many people died in Leng Palace and it's not very clean."

"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts calling at the door. If you and I are upright, we won't be afraid of shadows. Why should we be afraid of ghosts and gods?"

Ye Jingyu is upright and inviolable.

Ye Haitang bit the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Why does the eldest brother have to go to Leng Palace?"

"General Yin has returned to the court, and I have ordered him to resume his duties. The second son, Yin Buyu, is the commander of the imperial guards and is responsible for the security of the palace."

Ye Jingyu glanced at Ye Haitang and said with a half-smile: "After he takes office, he will often walk around the palace. I see that he has an honest temperament. Don't look for opportunities to bully others."

Ye Haitang opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yin Buyu, is he really the former commander in chief?"

Although Yin Buyu is known as Young General Yin, he is a family general of Yin Zhong. He does not have a special official position in the court. Now he is the former commander of the imperial family, but the official position of a third-rank official is naturally different.

Thinking that he would be able to see Yin Buyu soon, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Don't worry, eldest brother, I promise not to bully him."

Ye Jingyu smiled.

"That's good. With Yin Buyu guarding the imperial city for me, I can rest assured."

Ye Haitang said with a crooked eyebrow, "That's natural. Young General Yin has great martial arts skills and can handle this important task."

"As long as you like."

Ye Jingyu had arrived at the entrance of Leng Palace and opened the heavy wooden door.

A fresh smell of vegetation comes from the courtyard, mixed with a light fruity aroma.

The fruits, pears, peaches, and vegetables that Yin Qingxuan planted in Lenggong have sprouted again, and they are growing lush and green, and you can see a prosperous scene.

Ye Haitang had never been to Leng Palace before, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

She thought the cold palace was dilapidated and desolate, but before her eyes, it was full of vitality.

"It's... so beautiful here."

She organized her conversation for a long time, but still didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Ye Jingyu would think of something.

Ye Jingyu looked calm, his handsome face as calm as water.

"It's not bad. Come in with me and have a look."

He crossed the vegetable field and walked straight to the palace gate.
