Chongxi [rebirth]

"There are many loopholes in this statement." Li Fengqi said after listening for a moment.

For example, Ye Zhili, as the Duke of Qi, if he wanted to take a concubine, he could do so openly, why bother to raise a concubine secretly?Back then, the Wang family was considered a high-ranking marriage when she married into the Duke's mansion, and the Wang family was not considered a high-ranking family. Ye Zhili didn't need to worry about Wang's not being able to take concubines.

Furthermore, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. He were pregnant around the same time, Mrs. He gave birth to a child and disappeared, and Mrs. Wang just happened to have a stillborn baby. If it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.Moreover, according to Yin Hongye's letter, after Wang's dystocia, the old people in the Duke's Mansion have been replaced one after another. This behavior seems to be afraid of being discovered, and deliberately dismissed all the old people who knew the situation back then. .

Moreover, if Wang's family died, if Ye Zhili wanted to continue, it would be best if he didn't have the eldest son.But he would rather not marry Xuxian again in the future, and would record Ye Yunting under Wang's name as the eldest son.If he loved Ye Yunting deeply, it would be reasonable to plan for his future life experience, but he did not treat Ye Yunting well.This is somewhat contradictory.

And that Mrs. He, if it was just an ordinary outer room, why did Ye Zhili hide her so tightly?Even the old man serving in the Duke's Mansion only knows one surname.It seemed that Ye Zhili was deliberately hiding the other party's identity.

Ye Yunting also thought of these points, he lowered his eyes and said: "The identity of my biological mother, as well as the death of Mrs. Wang, may be in doubt."

"And...do you still remember the travel notes I accidentally found in the hot spring Zhuangzi?" Ye Yunting hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I found some old books in the Zhuangzi, and among them was a travel note about South Vietnam. The author is a woman, and it is mentioned that she has a friend and elder brother named Yutan who is also in Beijing."

The name Yutan is not surprising, but it is very rare for men to use it.But Ye Zhili's nickname is Yutan.

The age, nickname, and location are all right, so it's hard not to remind people.

"The hot spring village was originally owned by the He family in Runan, and the travel notes to South Vietnam were most likely left by a lady of the He family." Li Fengqi said: "If Mrs. He is really the Miss He family, then everything is right. .”

Back then, the He family in Runan colluded with the South Vietnam, colluded with the enemy and treasoned the whole family, all the men were executed, and all the female family members were used as official slaves.If Ye Zhili had an old relationship with Miss He's family and secretly hid him as a private room, then it would make sense for him to bother to hide information about Mrs. He.

It's just that Mrs. He disappeared suddenly, Mrs. Wang happened to die in childbirth, and Ye Zhili used Ye Yunting as the eldest son, there are still doubts.

Ye Yunting lowered his eyelashes, his mind was heavy.

"I ordered someone to investigate the relationship between Ye Zhili and the He family." After so many years, many old things have been buried in time, but if you have the heart to investigate, you can always find clues.

Ye Yunting gave a low "hmm", but still looked sullen.

Li Fengqi knew that he knew that his biological mother was someone else, so he must be in a complicated mood, so he didn't say anything more, he just patted the back of his hand lightly, called the fifth watch, and asked him to send a letter to Jiaozuo, and check it out The past of the He family.

This year's Spring Festival passed very quickly, and it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

Because of the war, the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in Weizhou City were rushed and scribbled, and there was no celebration.Now that the enemy of Xihuang has retreated, the city has been bustling with activity during the Lantern Festival.

Most of the houses and streets damaged by the war have been repaired, and the blood on the street walls has been washed away.The garment workshop is back in operation, and the expansion of the outer city has taken shape.

Ye Yunting discussed with the old concubine that they would hold a banquet in the mansion during the Lantern Festival, and invite Weizhou officials, generals and their families to have a good time.

As soon as the war ends, the generals and officials should be rewarded for public meritorious deeds, and privately.So the Lantern Festival banquet at the governor's mansion was arranged lively.

Holding the post, Zhu Lie was so happy that he could see his teeth but not see his eyes: "When did our Governor's Mansion have a serious banquet? Sure enough, the princess is sympathetic to us."

Jiang Shu was also happy: "I didn't drink the prince down last time, so I have to work harder this time."

This is a drunkard, his goal for so many years is to drink the prince to the ground, but unfortunately he gets drunk so much that he gets under the table every time.

"It's a pity that Jiao Zuo is not here." Zhu Wen sighed.

Yang Buwei at the side glanced at the post, but did not answer, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.As expected of someone who came out of the back house, these methods of winning people's hearts are really easy to play.But he knew that the generals now had a good impression of Ye Yunting, so he didn't say anything to find his displeasure, brushed off his clothes, got up and left.

"Could it be that you're still holding grudges?" Zhu Lie winked at the other two, pouted in Yang Buwei's direction, and said, "I've never seen such narrow-mindedness before."

Jiang Shu also let out a sigh of relief: "Who knows." Then he snorted again, and said, "Whatever he does, it'll be fine when he thinks about it."

Nowadays, no matter the soldiers or the common people in the city, they all love the princess.Not only can they rob gold mines, but they can also open clothing workshops. In addition to praying on New Year's Eve, the princess took the lead and stabilized people's hearts. Now some people are about to pass on the princess as a living Bodhisattva.

They all envy the prince for getting married.

Yang Buwei's trouble with the princess is not only against himself, but also against the prince.Now who can't see that this princess is on the cusp of the prince's heart.

If you don't deal with the concubine, isn't it just looking for a draw?

……

On the day of Lantern Festival, there are a lot of guests in the Dudu Mansion.

Regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, they all came to the scene after receiving the post, and those with family members brought them along with their family members.After all, the Governor's Mansion hasn't held a lively banquet for many years.

Big guys are very rare.

The female relatives were led to the backyard by the maid, and were entertained by the old concubine.Ye Yunting followed Li Fengqi to entertain guests in the front yard.

Unlike when he first came to Weizhou, Ye Yunting has become familiar with most of the civil servants and generals these days, and he can exchange greetings with everyone he sees.

Seeing Li Fengqi's unkind expression, most of the people simply stopped coming to him and went to talk to Ye Yunting.

This one said: "Is the princess's garment workshop still short of manpower? There are still a group of refugees on my side who have nowhere to settle."

The one said: "I heard that the princess has also opened a garment workshop in other state capitals? But there is still a shortage of accountants. I have a good friend who is good at managing accounts. This year, something happened to his family during the snowstorm. Now there is nothing to do. If the princess sees it Above all, he is very willing to share the worries for the princess."

Another general came up and said, "When will the next batch of Wangfei's garment workshop be ready? When it's ready, you must let me know so that I can follow up to ask for it. I was too late two days ago, and they were all robbed." .”

The winter clothes from Ye Yunting's garment workshop are made of solid materials and meticulous workmanship.It is much thicker and warmer than the winter clothes I bought outside.Now the winter clothes in the northern Xinjiang army have been worn for two or three years. This year, there are a lot of soldiers who want to buy winter clothes again. Therefore, some generals are staring at the clothes coming out of the garment workshop, thinking of grabbing more shares, so it is good to call them. The soldiers underneath were dressed warmly.

These people surrounded Ye Yunting, talking to each other, it was very lively.

On the contrary, the majestic King Yong'an has no one to care about.

Li Fengqi's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker.

Holding the altar of wine, Zhu Lie moved to Li Fengqi's side cheaply: "Will the lord want to drink with us?" After speaking, he followed his gaze and let out a snort: "The wangfei is really popular. "

"In the future, when the prince is out fighting and the concubine sits in the rear, then the husband and wife will really work together, and their benefits will cut through the gold."

His voice was not low, and he spoke heartlessly, but Yang Buwei, who was not far away, suddenly glanced at him, and tightened his fingers holding the wine glass.Looking at Ye Yunting who was surrounded by the crowd again, his eyes suddenly became dark.

This time, Xihuang was wiped out, and the people in the city were hardly affected. Everyone said that Ye Yunting contributed a lot.He said that if he hadn't designed to lure the people out of the city, and stabilized the scattered hearts when the city was broken, the city of Weizhou would not be so peaceful and lively today.

These people were about to hold Ye Yunting up to the sky.

But it was him who did these things in the past.As a military adviser, he spent most of his time sitting in the rear and making suggestions.But this time, he was expelled from the plan to kill Xihuang. All the participating generals made great contributions, but he was like a marginal man, making no contribution.

And those generals who looked down on the male princess like him before, all surrounded Ye Yunting now.Ye Yunting was praised inside and out.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he still had to accept that in a short period of time, Ye Yunting had won over most people's hearts, and even Li Fengqi had the faint intention of letting Ye Yunting replace him.

Thinking of this level, Yang Buwei raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and quietly left the lively banquet.

……

Ye Yunting dealt with it for a long while before sending away the officials and generals surrounding him.

He was holding the wine glass, his cheeks were flushed with alcohol, but his eyes were still sober - he had practiced a lot of alcohol these days, at least he wouldn't pass out after two or three drinks.

Li Fengqi's eyes wandered from his blush cheeks to his ruddy earlobes.His skin is fair, and a little red is very obvious. At this time, the plump and plump earlobes turned from tender white to deep red, as attractive as fruits waiting to be picked.

Twirling his fingers, Li Fengqi suppressed the untimely thoughts and walked towards him.

"How many drinks have you had?"

"Five cups." Ye Yunting shook his five fingers at him, his eyes a little smug.It seems to be saying, I'm still not drunk after drinking five glasses, it's amazing.

Li Fengqi just laughed, and drank the rest of the wine in the glass with his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "You can't drink any more." If you drink any more, you should be drunk.

"Yeah." Ye Yunting knew how much he could drink, so he obediently put down his glass, put it next to his ear, and said in a small voice, "I saw Yang Buwei go out just now, and his face doesn't look very good."

As he spoke, the scent of wine sprayed on his ears, Li Fengqi seemed to be scratched by a cat's paw in his heart, and managed to maintain his composure, saying: "I saw it, and I have asked someone to follow him secretly."

With Yang Buwei's temperament, it's strange that he can be happy today.

But that's fine, he's in a hurry, and it's easier to show his feet.Li Fengqi has long been unwilling to keep such a person who may cause problems at any time by his side.

"Wait a little longer, let's see what he will do next." Li Fengqi whispered in Ye Yunting's ear.
