Tongshu with Mei

Xie Lianfang raised her head quietly, and seeing Yang Xi looking over from a distance, her face was already darkened, so she tentatively stretched out her hand to push Yang Ye's arm, and said in a low voice: "My lord, my lord, there are too many people here!"

Yang Ye laughed and said, "Why are there so many people to be afraid of? The two of us have never done anything, and now my son is shy again? Are you planning to apply for a chastity memorial archway from the imperial court?"

Xie Lianfang said: "No, my... little brother has to continue to do business in the future..."

Yang Ye said: "With me here, what business do you still do? You want to cuckold me? I can't spare you! Come here!" Suddenly he grabbed Xie Lianfang tightly, and then took a big sip of wine. , kissed Xie Lianfang's lips heavily.Xie Lianfang groaned twice, but he suppressed his tongue so that he could not make a sound, and took a sip of wine.

Xie Lianfang was caught off guard, although she swallowed the wine reluctantly, she coughed repeatedly due to choking, Yang Ye laughed and said, "Even if you have fun with me, it won't delay your business!"

He was so wild and unrestrained, only stunned the people in the circle, and didn't know what to do for a while. After a while, Queen Cen chuckled, followed by Yang Xi's cold snort.

Cen Wumei was stunned for a while, then got up silently, abandoned the seat and left.

Yang Ye let go of Xie Lianfang as if nothing had happened, and seeing everyone staring at him, he laughed and said, "Everyone continue drinking, guessing riddles, and ordering wine, why are you staring at me?"

Everyone had no choice but to turn their heads as if nothing had happened, enjoying themselves as before.

In the middle of the banquet, Yang Ye went to change clothes in the back hall, Xie Lianfang did not dare to accompany him because of his different status.Bei Chenqing saw it and hurriedly followed.

When he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Yang Xi at the back of the hall.

Yang Ye leaned on Bei Chenqing's shoulder, still feeling a bit drunk, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Yang Xi didn't make a sound, but suddenly slapped him hard on the face with his backhand.

Yang Ye staggered from the beating, but bit his lip and said nothing, just raised his eyes and looked at him again.When Yang Xi saw it, his anger welled up, he rushed forward to fight again, but was stopped by Beichen Qingheng in the middle, and said in a trembling voice: "There are many people here, and the ministers are all in front, Your Majesty calm down!"

Yang Xi said in a cold voice: "You can make trouble with your temper! You can make trouble!" Turning around, he walked into the hall with a flick of his sleeves.

Yang Ye laughed at himself, and when Yang Xi walked away, he was stunned for a moment, and then casually sat down on the steps under the porch.Bei Chenqing sat down with him, saw his face was red and swollen from Yang Xi's beating, and stretched out his hand to rub it for him, but Yang Ye pushed his hand away, Bei Chenqing sighed, and said, "Don't you I don't care, he is in a hurry. Normally, I wouldn't be willing to move your finger."

Yang Ye stretched out his hand to cover his face, rubbed it randomly a few times, and said, "I know."

Bei Chenqing said: "Your Majesty is also very difficult, all of this really did not come easily."

Yang Ye nodded: "I know."

Bei Chenqing said: "So no matter what happens to him, I don't blame him."

Yang Ye said: "Well, so...you can do anything for him, right?"

Bei Chenqing looked at him sideways, with endless sorrow and sadness in his eyes, and his tone became extremely slow: "Yes, for Your Majesty, I can die. Is there anything more difficult than death in the world?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Yes, for example, life is better than death."

Bei Chenqing fell silent, and Yang Ye followed suit.The two of them remained silent for a long time, seeing the sky darken, the music in front of them gradually stopped, the bustle had just stopped, the courtiers all left the palace, and gradually quieted down.

Yang Ye said: "Yun Qi, let's go."

Bei Chenqing didn't say much, got up and walked away.Yang Ye was left sitting there alone in a daze, but he didn't stay for long, a shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and he was pulled up by someone into his arms, and Yang Xi asked softly, "Does your face still hurt? pain?"

Yang Ye said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Yang Xi sighed softly: "Brother Huang is not good, it's because Brother Huang is too impatient. But you don't like Xiao Cen, so just say so, why bother to act like this? You don't have to give others an excuse and talk about you later no."

Yang Ye said: "It's not an excuse either, I already had an affair with Boss Xie."

Yang Xi frowned and said: "You still say such things! Just now, the emperor brother had to live in the servant to say that the empress invited me to the central palace to discuss matters. I think this is the matter. Little wolf, it's my brother's fault, no I should push you too hard, but you... you should go back and think about it. You can go back to your palace, is there anything missing in the palace now?"

Yang Ye said: "There is nothing missing."

Yang Xi recalled the last time he lost a bet, thought for a moment, and said: "There are several copper mines in Ezhou, which are the largest compared to other places. It just so happens that you haven't sealed off a land yet, so I'll take those copper mines. A piece of land is assigned to you, and those mines have been enclosed, so I will give it to you together, so as not to cry poor in the future. In the future, just remember to pay tribute and taxes on time, and don’t let people talk about the right and wrong again. Go go."

In Empress Cen's central palace, Cen Wenjiang waited angrily for Yang Xi, and when he saw him enter, he rushed over, almost poked Yang Xi's face with a slender finger, and said sharply: "Yang Xi, you What do you mean? Is this humiliating my Cen family? The Xie Lianfang that your younger brother is holding on to, he used to belong to my father, but now you are all humiliated in front of the ministers of the Manchu court, how can you be ashamed? But That's right, I should be glad that your brother is willing to accept this vixen surnamed Xie, and it will save him from pestering my father!"

Yang Xi kept his hands silent, and when she had had enough, Fang said: "The matter has come to this, you should think about what to do to be serious. How is Xiaomei now? Are you angry?"

Cen Wenjiang said angrily: "Can she not be angry? Just now I coaxed here for a long time, but I still cried and left. I don't know what is going on now! My father is old, and I am just such a younger sister. If I How can I explain to my father that I have wronged her?"

Yang Xi said seriously: "Father-in-law treats me with great kindness, and I don't want to wrong her. But Xiaolang seems to be unwilling, so I have to let this matter go. I will try to make up for Xiaomei later."

Cen Wenjiang sneered, and flicked his sleeves resentfully: "Is he still not willing? As far as he is, even if he is willing, I am not willing! Our daughter of the Cen family is not spineless, she insists on catching up." Who did you follow! Xiaomei also said just now that in the whole world, except for His Highness Duke Huai, anyone can marry, as long as His Majesty decides for her!"

Yang Xi said: "Let me think about it."

Two days later, he ordered Bei Chenqing to enter the palace, clear out everyone else in the imperial study, Fang said: "Yun Qi, you should marry Princess Xiaocen."

Beichen Qingben was sitting in the chair, he felt as if he had been hit hard when he heard the words, he barely reached out and grabbed the armrest of the chair, raised his eyes to look at him, then just bowed his head in silence.

Yang Xi stared at him, and said: "between you and me, what you say is superfluous. In the whole world, only you can understand my thoughts. Alas, if Princess Xiaocen can't marry Xiaolang, she will marry him." I can only marry you, otherwise she will not be able to marry for the rest of her life. After all, it is a heart disease of mine that her father does not come out of Guanzhong, so whoever she will marry... I am not at ease."

Bei Chenqing raised his head again, his eyes were full of despair, Yang Xi's words had come to this point, he had no choice but to die.But people have not reached a desperate situation, but they can't die for a while.The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, yesterday I mentioned to Little Wolf that there are things in the world that are more terrifying than death? Today I understand that there really are."

Yang Xi paused, breathless in his chest, unable to move up and down, and then said softly after a while: "I'm sorry, but this matter is not as terrible as you said. Princess Xiaocen is very nice, didn't you see me two days ago?" Is it? Character and appearance are all the top choices, so you can choose among the daughters of the ministers, and there may not be any better than her. Don't worry, when you get married, no matter what you want, I will let you go to the treasury Pick. Just marry her, at least marry her."

Bei Chenqing was still silent, Yang Xi looked down at his pale face, stretched out his hand and lifted him up from the chair, stroked his shoulder and sighed: "Yun Qi, don't be like this. When I married the queen, I wasn't Married too? What am I doing for? Isn’t it just for Lord Cen’s food, grass, soldiers and horses? We have overcome many hardships, and you said that we managed to live in the world with great difficulty. But the little wolf is in that state, you are in this state, you are all disgraced and half-dead, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Bei Chenqing was about to speak but could not make a sound, but finally insisted: "Okay, I will listen to Your Majesty."

Yang Xidao: "That's right, Yun Qi is the most caring. The little wolf is not very happy for a while, you can persuade him when you have time, don't always mess with me. When he gets into trouble, I feel flustered, and I don't care. If you dare to say anything about him, you are afraid that he will make a mess of himself, but what should you do?"

Bei Chenqing had never disobeyed Yang Xi's orders, and now he just felt sore and uncomfortable, and said after a while: "Little wolf was confused at the time, but now he may have guessed the truth, and his words are always full of guns and sticks. I just think it's useless." Seeing him, but not being able to see him, I am also in a dilemma. Your Majesty should try to persuade him."

Yang Xidao: "He's still young, he'll get better, he'll get better slowly, who hasn't come here with so many scars? Leaving aside him, you go back and prepare. I've already made people look forward to the auspicious day, which is thirteen days later." It's too late to build a mansion for you. Before King Liang went to Yangling, I had already discussed with him. He doesn't want the mansion. I'll let someone do it for you."

During this period of time, two major events followed, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties.One is that Yang Xi decreed that the land of Ezhou and the [-] surrounding counties be given to King Huai as a fiefdom, and those few copper mines for making money were also given to him.The other thing is to marry Bei Chenqing and Cen Wumei.

When the news of Bei Chenqing's marriage reached Yang Ye's mansion, Qia Xie Lianfang was visiting the mansion and pestered him: "My lord, this Luoyang is so prosperous, what do you think my little brother would like to open an academy here?"

Yang Ye laughed and said, "You have no conscience, look at money! You want to leave your Lord Cen in Chang'an? Will he promise you to come here?"

Xie Lianfang said: "Prince Cen treats my younger brother very well, but when I am old, I can't wait to be hanged from a tree. Besides, my lord said that my younger brother is still young, as long as he has a good place to go, he doesn't care."

Yang Ye said casually: "Okay, come if you want, if there is any difficulty, just come to me."

Xie Lianfang glanced at him nonchalantly, and got bored with the situation: "Actually, the younger brother came here with a lot of belongings. If you have the prince's words, you can rest assured. I will go out to find a house and take care of the household. From now on, the prince will be me." Your backing! If there is something hard to turn on in the silver, the prince will have to subsidize it a little bit. Don’t say that you have no money, you have to live in a few copper mines that make money. If you say you have no money, no one will believe it.”

Hearing this, Yang Ye couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his face: "Well, you vixen, you are well informed, so it was your idea to give me money! I never prostituted you for nothing before, so why should I give it to you?" Pay?"

Xie Lianfang hurriedly said: "It's not in vain, the lord counts, how about we share the dividend? If the lord thinks it's embarrassing, the younger brother won't say it, just don't worry, the lord."

Yang Ye smiled and said, "As you please."

Here, Xie Lianfang could hold back Yang Ye's words, and began to talk about opening the academy.Within a few days, he claimed that the money was not enough, so he came to Yang Ye to ask for money.Yang Ye didn't bother to talk to him, and asked the housekeeper to give him the amount he asked for, Xie Lianfang looked at him affectionately, and said: "This academy now has half of the prince's, and I must go to support my business later!
