Ye Youqing took advantage of the chaos in the general's mansion and fled away. After returning to the mansion, Ye Chengzhu, who was unconscious, was also carried back, so the Duke's mansion fell into chaos, and the crying of Xiao Erniang next door could be heard through the wall. really.

After returning to the mansion, Qin Xin didn't know where she went. Ye Youqing changed into clean clothes unhurriedly, sat down and studied the fan pendant, but no matter how you looked at it, the so-called Fenghua pendant was very ordinary.

Let's take the cliché from Zhao Qingrou's mouth another day, Ye Youqing thought, but he didn't know how to ask so as not to arouse suspicion.

She had just carefully put away the pendant when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in the hallway, the voice was urgent.

It is said that ancient times are leisurely, but she is so busy when she wears it. Ye Youqing shook his head, and quickly opened the door, only to see a short maid standing at the door, panting: "Big, big girl, there is a quarrel in the front yard!" Yes, Qin Xin has somehow offended the prince, go and have a look!"

Hearing this, Ye Youqing's heart tightened, could it be that he took revenge on Qin's heart for beating him out that day?

"Take me there." Ye Youqing said quickly, and ran out the door.

He said he would take her there, but Ye Youqing ran faster than the maidservant with his long legs, and arrived in the front yard in a short while. Noisy and angry cries resounded in the air, startling a crowd of birds.

Under the shade of the flowers, Ye Chengfu was standing with his chest upright, and beside him were a few strong young men, pinching the girl in his hands like pinching chicken cubs.

"Ma'am, I'm just disciplining your servants for you. You are weak, why bother?" Ye Chengfu smiled and waved the folding fan in his hand, and said not far away.

"Ye Chengfu, don't go too far." Zhao Qingrou was already shaky with anger, pinching her heart with one hand, and her breathing was already unsteady.

"This is the Duke's Mansion, how can we keep people with unclean hands and feet, you guys, why don't you give this bold servant a lesson and send him to the government!" Ye Chengfu closed his fan with a snap, and pointed the tip of the fan at the heart of the piano.

"I didn't steal! It's obvious that the steward confiscated Yueli and Madam's medicinal materials, but I just snatched them!" Qin Xin was so frightened that her nose burst into tears, but she still trembled and shouted.

"Withholding medicinal materials? But some medicinal materials are worth a few silver, so why should you withhold them? I think it's because you want to get some ill-gotten gains, so you just have a hard mouth." Ye Chengfu said lazily, "Hurry up and do it, why are you dawdling!"

Hearing this, several young servants were about to carry away the struggling Qin Xin when they suddenly asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Ye Youqing slowed down his flustered footsteps just now, held his breath, walked out from the cluster of flowers, glanced at the helpless lifted Qin Xin, stood beside Zhao Qingrou, and supported her.

"Qing'er, why are you here?" Zhao Qingrou was probably angry and kept coughing.

When Ye Chengfu saw her, the corners of his mouth that were still smiling just now were straightened into a straight line. He must have remembered the boring loss that day, and his expression was even worse.

"Ye Youqing." He bent his lips with a smirk, the girl said that it was for Da Furen to regain Yueli, but with Da Furen's family background, she shouldn't pay attention to such a thing. "

The obvious sarcasm made Zhao Qingrou's face turn pale again.

"It's not your decision whether to let it go or not. The steward of the dignified government can't even count the monthly records. He favors one more than another, and it makes people laugh when it is spread." Ye Youqing also pursed his lips, pacing Walk towards Ye Chengfu.

Seeing her coming, Ye Chengfu suddenly remembered the heavy blow that day, and subconsciously took a step back.

"What's more, I asked Qin Xin to take back the monthly regulations that should be given. If you don't come after me, what's the point of bullying a girl." Ye Youqing suddenly lowered his voice, and the originally gentle voice was a little more threatening. "A concubine blatantly contradicts the eldest lady. If this matter gets out, what will others think?"

"Ye Youqing, you!"

"Call elder sister." Ye Youqing smiled with phoenix eyes, "Don't forget that in a few days it will be the day when you will become an official. If it is such a critical time to spread something, I am afraid it will be bad."

Ye Chengfu's face darkened suddenly.

In the Qi Dynasty, although the son of a Marquis was not allowed to inherit the title, he could become an official and get a half-job in the court. However, Ye Chengfu had only recently obtained the emperor's permission to inherit Yin as a concubine.

At this time, nothing can go wrong.

"Ye Youqing, when did you..."

"Sister Chang." Ye Youqing emphasized again, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Ye Chengfu was so angry that his lips were trembling. In the past, Ye Youqing had never been so tough, even if he wanted to be tough, he couldn't explain why, but now he suddenly spoke so eloquently that no one could retaliate.

He slapped the folding fan away again, turned around and left angrily, looking at the back, it seemed a little bit like running away.

Seeing that he had escaped, the servants holding Qin Xin were at a loss, and Ye Youqing glanced at him coldly, and hurriedly let go, leaving Qin Xin behind, and ran away without a trace.

While wiping her tears, Qin Xin stumbled towards Ye Youqing, sniffing her nose.

"Ma'am, Miss...it's my fault..." she whispered.

Ye Youqing shook her head slowly, she pulled Qin Xin, patted her on the back, and looked at the backs of those people leaving.

It's a place that eats people. Everyone is like duckweed on the waves. There are people everywhere who can bully them. Today, by chance, she was able to get out of the siege. Next time, next time?

If people can't be strong, no matter how good their eloquence is, they can scare off a few people.

"Qin Xin, take me to see that shop tomorrow." Ye Youqing said suddenly.

Qin Xin nodded quickly when she heard the words, looked at her girl through the hazy tears, and suddenly remembered that she had promised not to cry, so she wiped away the tears with all her strength.

"Qing'er, you've really grown up." Zhao Qingrou covered her heart, sighed with red eyes, and blamed herself, "It's just that the shop has long been unable to make ends meet, I'm afraid..."

"It's alright, mother."

Looking up, a tall and slender young woman is bending her eyes, her broken hair is turned golden by the afterglow of the setting sun: "I will protect you."

That night, the whole Bianjing was brightly lit to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's favorite concubine in the palace, but under the brilliant lights, several people could not fall asleep for a long time.

Someone was drunk and collapsed at the base of the wall, smiling with tears in his eyes.

Some people rummaged through history books and read them at night by lamplight.Some people can't cry, can't cry alone.

The lights illuminate the luxurious courtyard into daylight, the smell of wine is overflowing, the cups and plates in the hall are messed up, and the drunken man is lying in the gentle place, snoring everywhere.

Dozens of forbidden soldiers stood guard in the dark outside the door, like sculptures one by one, and the sound of breathing could not be heard.

The figure of the woman appeared under the lamplight, her hair was cast in a bun by the firelight, blocking her face, her face could not be seen clearly, only her figure was graceful and she walked gracefully.

"Who is the secretary in front of the palace here?" A forbidden soldier drew out a long knife and laid it in front of the woman.

The woman was startled, quickly lowered her head, and said timidly: "This official, this servant is ordered by the noble concubine to come here to deliver sober tea."

The forbidden soldier took a look at the weak woman, picked up the tea in her hand, poured a little on the back of his hand, and nodded to let her go after smelling it.

Only then did the woman take small steps and slowly walked into the hall.

The grand and luxurious layout of this palace is comparable to that of the queen's residence. There are precious jade objects, calligraphy and paintings everywhere, and even the fruits on the table are imported from other countries, and ice cubes are even piled up to keep it fresh. .

Someone was cleaning up the wine stains all over the floor. After seeing the woman, he nodded and backed away.

The woman put down her teacup and quickly walked into the inner room. The snoring sound became more obvious. A fat man with a height of seven feet was lying on the bed, sleeping unconscious.

"You're here." Someone said, and the woman turned her head quickly, a trace of fear flashed across her expression.

I saw another woman sitting beside the low table. She looked a little older, but she was still so beautiful that she seemed to gather all kinds of elegance in her body. She had almond eyes and long eyebrows, which made people feel as if she was in a trance.

She was dressed in dark blue satin, with dark red borders on the neckline and sleeves, which were embroidered with gold thread, and she could tell that it was expensive at first glance. She had a crown of hair on top of her head, and ice blue gemstones hung down her hair.

"Ci Ke, come here." She said.

The woman just stepped forward and raised her head. The light finally eliminated the shadow on her face, revealing her beautiful eyebrows. She took a deep breath and said, "Imperial concubine..."

"How did I say that." The woman interrupted her.

Ci Ke was silent for a while, and then said: "Aunt."

The woman nodded in satisfaction, and her voice became softer: "Ye Youqing's matter is well done, if Qin Wangbang is allowed to go to the Duke's mansion, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him in the future."

Ci Ke nodded without saying a word.

"It's just." The woman spoke again, her voice a little harsher, "I heard that Ye Youqing suddenly changed his temperament after the day he retired from the engagement. Is it true?"

Ci Ke's eyes flashed, he clenched his palms tightly, and didn't speak.

If you look closely, you can see the dry tears on the woman's face.

The woman stood up suddenly, pinched Ci Ke's chin across the low table, and rubbed it lightly, her red lips parted slightly, and the aroma of wine permeated the air.

"Ci Ke, is it possible that you are still thinking about that idiot?"
