He saved money in ancient times to marry

The house that Bai Li saw was very small, like a small protrusion squeezed out by two streets, not conspicuous, but it was at the corner of the street, the straight line distance from Ye Tinglan's house was the shortest, there was no main road in the middle, only A small gutter.

In the middle of the night that day, Bai Li brought the servants into the house in batches, prepared bedding and food briefly, and immediately started digging.

Digging a tunnel is not an easy task, even though it is just a small hole as tall as a person,? But to dig in the right direction, every shovel of soil must be transported out, and it must be strong so that it cannot collapse halfway,? Not to mention being discovered by the guards in front of Ye Mansion's gate? This is not an easy task.

Bai Li wasn't even sure whether his own tunnel was dug first, or the court's verdict came down first, but there was nothing he could do now, so he had to dig first.

More than a dozen domestic servants worked day and night, and finally began to dig up in the early morning of the ninth day, and the last layer of soil was pierced in the evening.

Bai Li took the pickaxe himself, and broke the layer of soil. The soil and stones on it fell down, and several lush flowers and trees were attached, and Bai Li's head was covered with loess.

Bai Li coughed for a long time, threw the tools down, and said, "You guys go back,? I can go by myself. I have worked hard these days. Go back and have a good meal. Don't make it public."

He put his hands on the hole, and was about to let Bai Shun support him, but a pair of warm hands grabbed his wrists. Bai Li was startled, and then he was pulled up vigorously.

Bai Li fell to the ground disheveled, and saw Ye Tinglan sizing him up in surprise, and Lao Ge next to him was stunned, and whispered: "Mr. Bai, what are you doing?"

Bai Li: "..."

Ye Tinglan looked at his cat-like face, laughed after a while, and said, "I thought there was some big rat messing around in my garden, but it turned out to be the little lover who came to a private meeting."

Bai Li's eyes lit up: "Are you willing to talk to me?"

Ye Tinglan blinked: "When did I not want to talk to you?"

Bai Li: "You...you ignored me all the way!"

Ye Tinglan sighed softly: "I ignore you because I can't. It's not because I don't want to. Let's go into the room and talk. This place is too close to the gate."

He took Bai Li's muddy little dirty hand casually, led him into the room as if nothing had happened, and said, "Lao Ge, go prepare some bath water."

Then he said to Bai Li: "It happens that the kitchen is about to prepare dinner, let's eat together."

Bai Li was very hungry, but these were not the main point, he followed Ye Tinglan into the room, he just wanted to quickly find out what was going on, and also wanted to tell him earlier that he had found the second prince, so he didn't have to worry, but once he entered the inner room , he couldn't say a word.

There is a small study outside Ye Tinglan's bedroom. Usually there is only a piano, some paper and pens, and a few books, but now it has become a calligraphy and painting exhibition hall. The walls and tables are full of scrolls, and those paintings It's not all the flowers and plants that Ye Tinglan loves in his daily life, but a variety of styles, and some even have characters. What makes Bai Li hard to control himself is the inscriptions on those scrolls.

Seeing him staring at the scrolls in a daze, Ye Tinglan said with a smile, "Look at how I drew them. These are drawn according to the artistic conception in the poems you wrote. One poem and one painting, there are 42 poems in total, and only I haven't finished painting this one, but you just came, so how about finishing it together?"

Bai Li's throat twitched, and he murmured in a low voice, "Is this the painting of the fortune teller?"

Ye Tinglan smiled and said: "Yes, I hope that the king's heart is like mine, and I will definitely live up to the love. Xiaobai, where did you get so many love poems?"

Bai Li: "This... this is another story, I... I just..."

It's just that I didn't expect you to be so attentive, which shocked my heart, and I couldn't help myself.

Ye Tinglan took the handkerchief, took his hand to wipe it gently, and said: "I have nothing to do along the way, so I just drew these. I was worried that the long waterway would get wet, but I didn't expect it to be preserved very well. These two days It has just been framed, and it will be hung inside tomorrow."

Bai Li's nose was a little sore, and he said in a low voice, "Can't you see me because you're free?"

"I can't", Ye Tinglan sighed: "Little fool, you can always do surprising things, why did you go to Fenzhou when you were so good?"

Bai Li pulled him and said, "I've been trying to explain to you. I didn't deliberately pry into your privacy. I just wanted to do something for you. I thought it might be inconvenient for you to go to the funeral, so I'll go for you." , that's all."

Ye Tinglan: "Don't you know what happened back then?"

Bai Li: "I don't know."

Ye Tinglan shook his head with a smile and said, "You really are a little fool."

Bai Li still wanted to talk, but Ye Tinglan said leisurely: "17 years ago, my father received an order to return to Beijing to report on his work. He mainly reported the progress and effectiveness of the thirteen new policies at the border. Who would have thought that this angered the first emperor, saying that his father deceived the emperor? , Contrary to what the previous inspection history said, there was still room for refutation, but someone reported in court that my father had hidden a group of private soldiers, once this incident came out, my father had no room for turning over."

These were all Bai Li had inquired about. He asked, "Why is there no room for turning around? If there are any private soldiers, just check and you'll know!"

Ye Tinglan sighed softly: "The problem is that those private soldiers do exist."

Bai Li asked in surprise, "What?"

Ye Tinglan smiled wryly: "Later, I was sentenced to a full family. At that time, I was young and didn't understand the twists and turns. Later, when Dali Temple investigated other cases, this case was involved. At that time, Dali Temple Minister Dong Muyang arrested him. I didn't let it go, and pulled out all the subsequent series of conspiracies. I didn't know until the day the case was finalized that the right minister at the time had a rift with my father. The new policy is contrary to His Majesty's true intentions, and a false military order was passed on, ordering my father to secretly form a vanguard army..."

Bai Li was stunned: "How could this happen! Then what happened later, was he rehabilitated?"

Ye Tinglan nodded: "Rehabilitated, everyone who should be dealt with has been dealt with, otherwise I, the son of a criminal minister, would not sit in this position. Later, I worshiped Mr. Dong Muyang as my teacher, and devoted myself to learning the way of law and serving All I want is to hope that one day there will be no wrongful cases in the world, and the tragedy of the Ye family will not repeat itself."

He gently stroked Bai Li's face: "That's it, this is what you want to know, my past."

Bai Li lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't want others to ask about this, so I..."

Ye Tinglan pinched his face and said, "Others can't ask, can't you?"

Bai Li raised his head and fell into Ye Tinglan's gentle eyes. He said: "You are my lover, the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. Is there anything you can't ask? I'm not angry that you paid attention to my past, but I'm just a little annoyed. You didn't ask me directly, but it's not because of these things that I ignore you these days."

Bai Li: "Aren't you angry with me so you ignore me?"

Ye Tinglan smiled and said, "If I'm angry with you, I might as well keep you out of bed for three days, why should I ignore you?"

Bai Li: "..."

At this time, Lao Ge said that the bath water was ready, so Ye Tinglan asked Bai Li to take a bath first. He was covered in mud, like a little monkey rolling in the mud.

Bai Li took a hot bath, brushed his hair casually, and came out. He saw that the food in the hut had been set, and Ye Tinglan was serving him soup.

Seeing Bai Li wearing her pajamas again, Ye Tinglan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "My little Bai seems to have grown taller again."

Bai Li scratched his head and wanted to sit opposite Ye Tinglan, but Ye Tinglan waved: "Don't sit there, come into my arms."

Bai Li wasn't ashamed, but Ye Tinglan's hand had already stretched out, pulling him into his arms and hugging him, he buried his chin into Bai Li's neck, took a deep breath, and said, "I miss you so much, baby. "

A red cloud floated on Bai Li's face, and he pushed Ye Tinglan away, saying, "You said earlier that you didn't want to talk to me, or you couldn't talk to me, what does that mean?"

Ye Tinglan picked up a steamed fish with chopsticks for him, and said: "How can I not want to talk to you, the moment I saw you in Hanshan, I wanted to drag you back to the room and beat you up, but I couldn't, I couldn't even explain to you .”

Bai Li asked while eating: "Why?"

Ye Tinglan said: "Look at my desolate appearance now, you should think that my trip to Hanshan is intentional."

Bai Li asked strangely: "Since father's grievances are over, why can't you go to worship?"

Ye Tinglan raised his eyebrows: "Father?"

Bai Li: "Otherwise?"

Ye Tinglan laughed dumbly: "Okay, you're right, since my father and your father-in-law have been reconciled, why can't I go to Hanshan to worship?"

He sighed: "Because the first emperor only punished those treacherous people, but did not justify his father's name."

"what?"

"A generation of famous generals, a family of loyal ministers, was killed by him in a daze until there was only one single seedling left. He didn't want to bear such a crime, so he only solved the case, but he didn't admit his father's grievances. He just passed it vaguely. Up to now, I have not received the official name rectification document from the imperial court.”

"So you went to Hanshan this time to let the court justify your father's name?"

"Yes. The first emperor passed away not long after settling this case. Now His Majesty is taking over the throne. At that time, I Lian was just a small man who couldn't make waves at all. Your Majesty is kind and feels ashamed of my Ye family. Growing up in his house, he treated me well and trusted me in every possible way. He supported me and cultivated me all the way to the present. Some people say that His Majesty has indulged me too much, and it will eventually become a disaster, but they don't know that our Majesty is so soft-hearted. Very, I have always felt guilty about it!"

"However, I also promised him that I would only be a direct minister and a sword of His Majesty. His Majesty was also deeply affected by that incident back then. He hated those who deceived the saints, disrupted the court, and violated the law and discipline. It is our common ideal to have strict law and order, and restore the political circles of the Western Qin Dynasty to a clear state, and this is also one of the reasons why he favors me."

"But even so, there is one thing that I have tried many times, but he is not willing to do it."

Bai Li stopped his chopsticks: "He doesn't want to justify his father's name?"

"Yes," Ye Tinglan smiled wryly: "Your Majesty's kindness is beneficial, but it is not entirely beneficial. He is a filial person and does not want to go against the late emperor's wishes. He knows why the late emperor always avoided talking about his father. How could you personally uncover this scar and leave such a disgraceful mark on your father's history?"

Bai Li said: "So you deliberately went to Hanshan to find an introduction to uncover this old case, but what is your plan, and how can you be sure that His Majesty will follow your wishes? What he was unwilling to do before, Would you like to do it now?"

Ye Tinglan calmly took a sip of porridge and said, "The late emperor's son was filial, so isn't Ye Fengxing's son not filial? Even though he has a lot of kindness to me, he can't let me compromise on this matter. I must To push him."

"How to force?"

"I went to Hanshan, His Majesty will know. If he ignores this matter, there will be a report from the censor, saying that my trip is inappropriate. You know, there are many people staring at me in the court, so No matter what, he will have to make an explanation."

"So he reacted, and he also wanted to give an explanation to the world. I am a second-rank official in the imperial court. I must have a reasonable explanation to deal with me, but does he have it? He put me under house arrest, just waiting The final verdict, what is the basis for the verdict, because I paid homage to the guilty minister, if so, how should the case of the late emperor's heavy sentence be counted?"

"He can only put me under house arrest now, because this is a dilemma, and he hasn't thought of a way yet."

Bai Li wondered: "But how can you be sure that he won't just find other reasons to sentence you, and he won't kill you?"

Ye Tinglan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the most important law, and will not mess around."

Bai Li asked again: "Since a trip to Hanshan can force His Majesty into such a situation, why didn't you go earlier and wait until now?"

Ye Tinglan chuckled: "You met His Majesty at the beginning of the year, how did you feel?"

Bai Li thought for a while and said, "I'm very old and my body doesn't seem to be in good shape, but my mind is clear and my eyes are sharp."

Ye Tinglan nodded: "It's a good observation. As you said, His Majesty is getting old."

"old?"

"Yeah, if I did something like this when he was in his prime, he could completely abolish me and find another capable confidant, but now that he is old and I have grown up, he will find my No one can replace my position. There are too many things in my hands that others cannot do, and the peace and prosperity he wants has not yet come. This project will most likely not be completed until the next emperor succeeds. , He must also consider for his descendants, who are the ministers of the humerus, who are absolutely loyal, and who can accomplish things and make contributions, he has to consider."

"He also needs to consider the mood of His Highness the Second Highness."

Bai Li suddenly realized: "That's right, if it's His Highness...then he will never allow anything to happen to you!"

Ye Tinglan said with a smile: "So I chose this opportunity. It was considered exhaustive until I saw you on the cold mountain."

He pinched Bai Li's nose and said, "I was alone with no cares. If His Majesty finds that he can't touch me and wants to divert his anger to attack those around me, he won't be able to find anyone, but now there are Without you, it will be different."

"You have no official position, it's really easy to handle. If you stay in Chengzhou and stay in the capital obediently, I can still have someone pick you up in advance, and I can also say that those who don't know are innocent. Even if he puts me under house arrest, I will I can also tell you about these things one by one, so as not to worry you, but if you appeared in Hanshan and in front of Ye Jiazu's grave, then you can no longer be regarded as an irrelevant person, and His Majesty will have an excuse to deal with you .”

"So you can only ignore me, because you want people to think that you don't want me anymore and I don't matter to you." Bai Li blushed and said, "Are you protecting me?"

Ye Tinglan smiled helplessly: "But you, you followed me all the way to the capital, running around for me, I really..."

He kissed Bai Li's forehead, and said: "I am really distressed and helpless, but don't worry, I have my own way to deal with these things, and I won't let you have any accidents."

Bai Li leaned into Ye Tinglan's arms and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Ye Tinglan shook his head, put his arms around him and said, "You don't need to apologize, I'm sorry for you, I should have taken the initiative to tell you all the plans earlier, instead of arranging everything for you privately, making you worry, worrying You are sad, I'm sorry Xiaobai, I'm really sorry, I assure you, there will never be such a thing again."

Bai Li seemed to have sand in his eyes, rubbed and rubbed, and whispered, "I'm glad you don't dislike me."

Ye Tinglan stroked his back: "How can I not like you, how is it possible, even if I don't like myself, I won't dislike you, you are the best little white in the world, and my lover, how can I not like you?" .”

As he spoke, he couldn't help kissing her. The two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time, and they couldn't control themselves for a while. They were confused and out of breath. Ye Tinglan hooked Bai Li's finger and said, "Breeze tonight." It's not cold, the moonlight is ambiguous, would Mr. Bai Xiaolang go with me to that green gauze tent and listen to what I miss in my heart?"

Ye Tinglan's green gauze tent can be entered casually, as long as one enters, one will be sweating profusely and begging for mercy softly.

After a long time, Bai Li lay on Ye Tinglan's knees and gasped for breath. The corners of his eyes were red and sparkling with water. Ye Tinglan just showed his abdominal muscles and took a handkerchief to wipe the wetness for him. s hair.

He rubbed gently and meticulously, and Bai Li squinted his eyes in comfort, and said, "Use a little force, it will be very comfortable to pull the scalp."

Ye Tinglan smiled and intensified his strength. Bai Li rubbed against his leg and almost caught fire again. Ye Tinglan slapped him on the buttocks and said: "Turn it lightly, I will give you a crown in two days." Li, don't be unable to get out of bed by then."

Hearing this, Bai Li turned around, lay on Ye Tinglan's lap on his back, and said, "You prepared the crown ceremony for me?"

Ye Tinglan: "This is a big event, how can we forget it?"

Bai Li giggled twice, suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked: "You are under house arrest, and the officers and soldiers watch you outside. If I didn't dig a hole to come here, how would you crown me?"

Ye Tinglan smiled and said, "You found out?"

Bai Li: "?"

"Even under house arrest, someone has to deliver food every day, and clean up the slop. It's not difficult to go out with one or two people, and then come back with two people."

Bai Li: "..."

so......

"That's why I was shocked to see my lover dug a tunnel to meet me privately." Ye Tinglan laughed softly.

Bai Li gave him a punch in embarrassment: "Since you can send someone out, why didn't you find someone to explain to me earlier!"

Ye Tinglan said with a smile: "I have already sent someone there, but the person who came back said that you had gone out. I found out later that I went to the Second Highness. Later, my people came to find you, but they said that you had moved away. I don't know where he moved to."

Surprised, Bai Li turned over and sat up: "You even know this?"

Ye Tinglan was inexplicable: "I know what's so surprising. His Majesty appointed a patrol battalion to guard my door, but he didn't specify who would deliver my food or clean up my slop."

Bai Li: "..."

So it's no surprise that those people are the Second Prince, right?

Bai Li remembered something again, and asked, "Then it's been more than a month on this journey, why didn't you find a chance to tell me!"

Ye Tinglan smiled helplessly: "Since I want to let His Majesty know that I went to Hanshan, from the very beginning, the people around me are not my people. They may cooperate with me in doing things. There is no problem with their moral character, but they will also be loyal." Tell your majesty my words and deeds honestly, I can't trust them, the note I sent you that day is already the greatest risk."

Bai Li felt exhausted when he heard this, and thought of all kinds of things about himself, so he stuffed himself into the quilt. He felt that he was so stupid. He thought of ways to get close to him for many days, but he only thought of digging a tunnel. I didn't think of starting from the backyard. Fortunately, he has been in business for so long and weaves gardening nets that are available to every household. At this time, he couldn't think of starting from this aspect.

Ye Tinglan smiled and dug him out of the quilt, hugged him and said: "Okay, don't be angry, you have been tired for several days, go to rest earlier."

Bai Li said sullenly, "I'm so angry that I can't sleep!"

Ye Tinglan grabbed him and put one hand on his lips, kissed him, and said: "Then get up and finish that unfinished painting with me."

It was still Bai Li who held the pen, and Ye Tinglan held his hand. The two of them drew an extremely charming picture scroll, and wrote an inscription with their names.

Ye Tinglan said: "Look, the two of us have long been inseparable."

Bai Li: "That's right, you are my beauty."

Ye Tinglan smiled, took his hand, and said seriously: "So you don't have to worry about me too much in the future. Since you are the two closest people, you don't have to be so respectful and careful. You can ask me directly if you have some questions, and some Things can also be done in my name.”

Bai Li: "For example... what is it?"

Ye Tinglan said: "I heard that you have always wanted to open a happy family in the capital, but you are worried that there are many rich and nobles in the capital, and many things will be inconvenient, and you will be tied up. In fact, as long as I am here, you don't need to worry. Whoever offends you, as long as you report my name, no one will dare to embarrass you."

Bai Li listened in a daze, wondering what kind of thighs this was, for a moment he felt that he was more powerful than the man on the throne.

"If there is anything that can't be dealt with, you can come to me if you can't handle it. I will take care of it for you. Don't worry, you have a deep foundation in the capital now."

Bai Li's heart felt sweet and warm at the same time. He smiled with his eyes wide open and asked, "Tell me, how did you collect my debts at the end of last year?"

Ye Tinglan smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just said that those are my family's property."

Bai Li was startled and said, "That's it? Is your name so useful?"

Ye Tinglan: "Yes, so you can use whatever you want."

Bai Li smiled slyly and said: "Then I will order you in the name of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple Secretary Ye Tinglan Ye, to go to bed and lie down!"

Ye Tinglan was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

So he walked slowly to the bed, took off his loose pajamas, and lay there flat. Bai Li's heart grew red, and he pounced on him like a wolf. Ye Tinglan let him nibble and kiss, and he cooperated very well. .

Bai Li touched the box of fragrant oil, panted and asked, "You really want me?"

Ye Tinglan was also a little hot: "Who told me to make you sad, this time I will make it up to you!"

Bai Li couldn't bear it anymore, until a long time later, Bai Li also clearly remembered Ye Tinglan's amazing coquettish attitude that night, the only time that Mrs. Huaye of Gaoling showed a moving expression of pleading, after that he tried countless times to see him again, But never succeeded.

The author has something to say: Ye Tinglan: Our Xiaobai always does things unexpectedly.

Bai Li: Haha, I never expected that the first thing I did in your name was...
