Ming Ke song.

The first time Ye Zuolan heard about this place was because of a farce.

A while ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated a sum of money, which was said to be used to repair the house in the East Courtyard.Unexpectedly, taking advantage of Zhu Zhu'er's going out, Lu Ying'er sneaked away to Ming Kequ with money in his back.Two hours later, when Lu Ying'er came home, she saw Zhu Zhu'er waiting for him at the door with a feather duster in her hand.

After a lot of flirting, Ye Zuolan could clearly hear Zhu Zhu'er constantly yelling and scolding the little vixens in Ming Ke, and when she was tired of scolding, she picked up a kitchen knife and rushed to the door, saying that she was going to find someone on that street. The madam desperately.

As a result of the farce, Lu Ying'er knelt down and begged for mercy, pinching her ears, handed over all the remaining silver, and knelt outside the house all night.

Afterwards, Ye Zuolan secretly asked Wal about "what is Ming Kequ".Wa'er said that it was a small street in Pingkangfang in the north of the city.On both sides of the street are pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.But the "beautiful scenery" that the men who come here really want to appreciate is from the girls who sing Kequ.

Most of the men in the capital, who have some spare money on hand, have entered Mingkequ.The children of the royal family have always liked to show off their style, and it seems nothing strange to go out in modest clothes occasionally, looking for flowers and glamorous things.

The strange thing is that Xuan Wang Zhao Yang and Ye Zuolan were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and now they are only cardamom flower years, and they may not even lose their baby teeth, so how do they know how to linger in such a romantic place?

Qi Yunchu obviously saw Ye Zuolan's astonishment, but he didn't take it seriously at all: "What's wrong with being young? You don't know how many clan children played with nurses and eunuchs early on. King Xuan's mother I wish I could let him marry a concubine and have a son right away, so that the demon in her heart will be cleared up sooner."

How could Ye Zuolan understand the intricate issue of incense sticks in the imperial clan?He just thought about the King Xuan who had a face similar to his in his head, and made an appearance of an adult hugging him left and right, and his face turned red immediately.

He was feeling extremely shy when he heard Qi Yunchu repeat the question he had just raised.

"Don't you like it? The feeling of being feared by everyone just now."

"It doesn't matter if you like it or not?" Ye Zuolan thought for a while, "After all... what these people are really afraid of is the power possessed by King Xuan, not mine."

"You're wrong to think so."

Qi Yunchu shook his head: "Power has no surname, and it never picks on its owner. Whoever owns it can use it. But no one can own it for a long time, or even permanently. .At this moment, I put it in the palm of your hand, and it is at your disposal. At least here, this entire night, you have more power than anyone here."

Having said that, Qi Yunchu beckoned the waiter who was standing far away to approach: "Go and call Fu Zhenghuai over."

Ye Zuolan was startled suddenly, and almost stood up.Fortunately, Qi Yunchu had quick eyes and hands, and pressed his shoulder.

"This time, you don't have to say anything, just sit and listen to him."

In a blink of an eye, Fu Zhenghuai had arrived in front of the Shuanghuan Pavilion.He was about to walk two steps into the pavilion, but was stopped by Qi Yunchu.

"Just stand there and talk, Miss doesn't like being disturbed by strangers."

Fu Zhenghuai was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then said yes again and again.

He happened to be standing under the glazed lamp by the eaves, so Ye Zuolan could see that his face was flushed, but his eyes were wide open—it was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine just now and was a little excited.

This guy is proud of his success here, but his parents are suffering in the prison of Dali Temple at this moment.Thinking of this, Ye Zuolan wished she could rush forward and punch this man.

But what's the use of just punching.

Fu Zhenghuai obviously didn't know that the young girl next to Duke Changqiu was the son of Ye Kai's family, the former capital water envoy.With the lessons learned from the fat eunuch just now, he reckoned that this bad-tempered beauty should be a princess in Zichen Palace, or even a young prince in disguise.

So at this moment, he had an extra heart, first bowed his head to this bad-tempered beauty, and then turned to Changqiu Duke Qi Yunchu.

Ye Zuolan was bowed by him, but felt a stench of flattery rushing towards her face.He was about to frown, but he heard Qi Yunchu sneer.

"No wonder people in the court say that Mr. Fu is familiar with the method of face-to-face in sackcloth, and the distinction between priority and inferiority is very clear."

Fu Zhenghuai was proud of himself, but he looked terrified: "It's really not enough for Mr. Qiu Gong to worry about a low-level official. I just saw the appearance of the young lady from a distance, and mistakenly thought that it was a heavenly man who came down to earth. For the matter, I still hope Lord Qiugong Haihan."

"Hmph, I can talk."

Qi Yunchu didn't bother with him, and with a sneer still on the corner of his mouth, he asked instead: "I heard... you handled a major impeachment case a few days ago?"

Ye Zuolan's heart suddenly twitched again.

Fu Zhenghuai hastily humbled himself and said: "Mr. Lao Qiu is concerned about it. But it is not a big deal. The envoy of Dushui was guarding himself and stealing. He was reported to Yushitai by beating drums. The next official just reported the truth... It is really not good. Dare to take credit."

"Master Fu, excessive modesty is hypocrisy."

Qi Yunchu lowered his head and fondled the lapis lazuli ring on his ring finger, and said slowly: "Master Tang has spoken a lot of good things about you in front of the Holy Majesty and the Empress."

The smug look on Fu Zhenghuai's face became more and more obvious. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he quickly lowered his head and bowed to Qi Yunchu: "The next official still relies a lot on the support of Lord Qiu and Lord Tang."

"Promoting and cooperating is affirmative. But..."

Qi Yunchu finally looked at Fu Zhenghuai again, with a hint of doubt in his eyes deliberately: "I heard...you and Ye Kaiquan, the impeached Dushui envoy, were Jinshi in the same year, and they have a close personal relationship on weekdays. Why do you suddenly turn your face when you say turn your back on it?" gone?"

Fu Zhenghuai was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly heaved a long sigh: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Qiu, Ye Kaiquan and I were indeed classmates and friends. But I really never thought about it. He has a dignified appearance, but in private he is the kind of person who guards himself and steals himself... There is no way but the law is merciless, and as long as he is an official in Yushitai, he will not be used to those things that are corrupt and perverted. Therefore, even if he is as close as Brothers will also not be merciful!"

What he said was so grandiose that Fu Zhenghuai himself seemed to be intoxicated by it, and made a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

However, Ye Zuolan was furious when he heard this, and grabbed a peach in his hand suddenly, but felt Qi Yunchu's hand resting slowly on his thigh.

Qi Yunchu said unhurriedly: "Someone told me in private that Ye Kaiquan was complaining in prison, saying that he was framed by others, and said a lot of bad things about you."

Fu Zhenghuai gasped, and immediately took a step forward, put his hand over his heart and said, "Huang Tian is on top, and Hou Tu is on the bottom. I, Fu Zhenghuai, have never done such nasty things as planting and framing me! But that Ye Kai Quan was always proud and arrogant, but now he was beaten back to his original form, and he became a little delirious after being imprisoned. If Qiu Gong nods, I am willing to face him face to face—”

He was talking about the place where he was filled with anger, but his voice suddenly stopped.

It turned out that Ye Zuolan couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the peach in his hand, and hit him hard on the head!

With a "pop", the overripe peach bloomed on Fu Zhenghuai's forehead, leaving behind a sweet and fragrant juice.

Fu Zhenghuai sat down on the ground in fright.

And Qi Yunchu also put away his bored expression.

All the people around fell silent again.The eyes of countless officials and eunuchs were all cast on Ye Zuolan.

It was astonishment, and fear.

What they are afraid of is me—— Ye Zuolan said to herself in her heart.

He took a deep breath and suddenly leaned back, leaning on Qi Yunchu's shoulder, pointing at Fu Zhenghuai's nose and cursing angrily: "You old fellow, where are you talking so much nonsense! I told you not to come in." Come in the pavilion, and sweep away the elegance of this king!"

"..."

The smell of alcohol on Fu Zhenghuai's face had already faded away.At this moment, his face was as yellow as paper, and his lips were bloodless. After a while, he moved back and forth, stepped out of the Shuanghuan Pavilion, and returned to his seat as if fleeing.

Ye Zuolan scanned everyone in front of her with cold eyes again.

"Look at me, why don't you drink?!"

Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, and then hurriedly looked away, and bit the bullet to toast each other.

After watching the scene with a smile on his face, Qi Yunchu beckoned and ordered people to lower the veil around the pavilion, completely blocking the trembling peripheral vision of those people.

The author has something to say: This is Ye Zuolan's first blackening.I won’t be able to find it when I leave the list tomorrow, please click to collect it.

Recently, I am assembling materials for the Ye Ting chapter. Compared with the lives of officials and commoners, although the historical materials of the court are detailed, it is more difficult to write.

The second volume is about what happened when Ye Zuolan was around 13-18 years old, that is, when Tang Ruilang was 15-20 years old.
