Invincible son

Chapter 1109 1110 [Pei Yue's Ambition]

For Pei Yue, this situation is quite rare.

Not only were there no maids and women in the hall, even Lin Shuyue and Taohua were absent, which was obviously the intention of the two dukes and wives.

He raised his eyes to look into Ye Qi's eyes, seeing that the other party had no intention of resentment, he couldn't help but gradually feel at ease, then walked to Gu Zhen's seat and sat down, and said frankly: "This matter is because of my lack of greed, it has nothing to do with Miss Shen. I hope the two ladies will not be angry."

Gu Zhen's eyes drooped slightly, she shook her head and said, "I never blamed Mr.—"

The voice stopped abruptly, she suddenly remembered the discussion before Pei Yue came back, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Ye Qi, and then a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Ye Qi laughed and said: "Forget it, I already knew that you would not disobey him, so let me say it."

Pei Yue quietly gave Gu Zhen a grateful look, and then sat down towards Ye Qi.

Ye Qi said unhurriedly: "My husband, as the only real duke of the state, it doesn't matter if there are more people in the back house. After all, this is the case in all the rich and powerful mansions in Kyoto. However, the Hundred Days of National Funeral has not yet come. But, is my husband in a hurry? Yesterday my husband sent his own soldiers to deliver a letter to my family. I originally wanted to go to Shen's house to find you, but I was afraid that Shen Danmo would break with you because of this—I know that she looks calm but actually has a thin skin. After much deliberation, it finally came to an end.”

Pei Yue nodded again and again, and then whispered: "Miss Shen and I were just drinking in the flower hall last night to reminisce."

Ye Qiyao snorted softly, then shook her head and said, "Don't I even know my husband's disposition? This matter is big or small, if someone in the court criticizes it in the future, husband can only solve it by himself , what we are worried about is actually Miss Shen. Husband stays overnight in such an unclear way, and there is no decent male master in the house over there, will it affect Miss Shen's reputation if it gets out?"

She looked into Pei Yue's eyes and said seriously: "Master Shen's matter was suppressed by the palace, and it was only said that he died of a sudden illness, but you and I both know that it was only because the late emperor didn't want to write it down in the history books." I don’t want the strength of the Taishitai Pavilion to be damaged by internal friction and self-examination. But in the final analysis, the late emperor died at the hands of Mr. Shen. The emperor may be able to follow the late emperor’s last wish and not embarrass the Shen family. As the days go by, he thinks of Mr. Shen's only daughter marrying into the Duke's mansion, will he be able to get over that feeling in his heart?"

These words made Pei Yue fall into deep thought.

Shen Danmo has never concealed his attitude towards him. She had already expressed her feelings on Qishui a few years ago, and in such a special atmosphere yesterday, she mustered up the courage to confess again. If Pei Yue hesitated at all, she would It is bound to turn around and leave after that hug.

Whether it will come to fruition or let nature take its course, after all, it is the affection accumulated by the swan geese in those years.

Ye Qi continued: "In recent years, my husband has not been close to sex, he has been busy with business, and has little leisure time for fun. Sister Zhen'er and I see it in our eyes and feel pain in our hearts. Naturally, we will not hold you back in our children's affair, and we will I know that you are very measured in this matter. Husband, you are now the lord of the country, with a lot of power in your hands, and countless capable people under your command, even the emperor treats you like a teacher and a friend, it can be said that you are extremely proud and prominent."

She paused, then said in a slow tone: "Sister Zhen'er and I have no objection to you marrying Miss Shen, but the timing is not right now."

Pei Yue gradually lowered his head.

Of course he understands why Ye Qi is so earnest. Although she and Shen Danmo often had disputes in the past, when Shen Danmo bid farewell in the back alley of Qinyuan last year, the two met without much sense of gunpowder.

Ye Qi was very clear about the intersection between him and Shen Danmo, and had expected this day to come a long time ago.

The reason for such persuasion is because she is worried that Pei Yue will be arrogant after the new king ascends the throne. Even if no one can shake his position in the court at the moment, if he takes the path of doing whatever he wants, he will surely kill himself in the future.

After pondering for a while, Pei Yue raised his head and saw the worry in Gu Zhen's eyes, knowing that she was worried that he and Ye Qi would get into trouble, so he smiled and comforted him: "Sister Zhen'er, don't worry, I understand Ye Qi's intentions. My virtuous wife is too late for me to be happy, so why would I do such a stupid thing that doesn't understand good people?"

Gu Zhen nodded slightly and smiled gently.

Ye Qibai glanced at Pei Yue and said, "Cooperating with the two of you, making me a bad guy for nothing?"

Pei Yue got up, walked to her and sat down, held her wrist and said, "Actually, what you said is very reasonable. I really didn't think carefully about this matter."

Ye Qi wanted to withdraw her hand, but she didn't exert any strength after hearing what he said, and said with a slight smile, "It's good that you can understand, but your sister Zhen'er made a lot of determination to stand with me."

"Sister Ye..." Gu Zhen couldn't bear the two of them taking turns joking, her cheeks were already flushed.

Pei Yue said sincerely: "Family and everything are prosperous, if you are willing to speak directly and not hide it, of course I can listen to it. Miss Shen is a very proud person. For the sake of what I said yesterday, I really don't want to let it go." She continues to feel sad. You don't have to worry too much, she and I won't get to that point yet, let's talk about it after she finishes her filial piety."

Ye Qi sighed: "But you have to give her a title in the future, and you can't let Master Shen's only daughter be your concubine."

Although there are three wives and four concubines in this era, it is not as understood by ordinary people. Any high-ranking official can marry three wives.Except for the special case of Jianxie, most people can only have one wife.The so-called three wives and four concubines are actually an opening left for themselves by the top dignitaries to meet the needs of big families for marriage.

In the actual situation, the difficulty of having one regular wife and two equal wives is that the regular wives are basically bestowed by the emperor, and the supreme imperial power is used to offset the influence of secular forces.

That is to say, if Pei Yue wants the Ming media to marry Shen Danmo, he will definitely need Liu Xian to come up with an imperial decree to grant marriage.

The problem is that Emperor Kaiping could ignore Mo Moyun's assassination, how could the extremely filial Liu Xian forget about it?Taking a step back, even if Liu Xian can really let go of his hatred and help Pei Yue solve this problem, it doesn't mean everything will be fine.

Ye Qi and Pei Yue share life and death together through thick and thin, and Gu Zhen has stayed together silently for many years. Suddenly, Shen Danmo, in the name of his wife, is placed on their heads. How can the family be peaceful?
Pei Yue couldn't do such a thing.

No matter how you look at it, this is an unsolvable problem, that's why Ye Qi dragged Gu Zhen to pose as a judge for the first time.

Facing the curious and worried eyes of the two girls, Pei Yue slightly adjusted his sitting posture and said calmly: "The reason why this problem is difficult is that I am not standing high enough now."

"Xianggong..." Gu Zhen was surprised beyond words. Although she stayed in the mansion all the time, she also knew that there was a storm outside.

Ordinarily, Pei Yue has expressed his position through various actions, that is, he will not spy on the imperial power, but this sentence reveals his undisguised ambition.

He is now the Duke of the state, what else can he go up?
Pei Yue smiled indifferently, signaled Gu Zhen not to be nervous, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The Nongsang Supervisor and the Imperial Medical Center have been successfully established, and I will follow the court to implement them in detail. At the same time, Xiangyun will speed up the pace, not only to drive The development of commerce in various places will also rapidly increase the scale of the handicraft industry. All in all, in some respects, I share the same vision as His Majesty, and we hope that the beams will be full of vitality everywhere. But other than that, I will not give up the power in my hand, and will take power further.”

He turned to look at Ye Qi, and said sternly: "I talked to Miss Shen last night, and after a while she will bring people south to assist Mr. in managing my layout in the five southern states."

Ye Qi knew that he was talking about business, but he couldn't help but said in a funny and angry way: "So that's your idea. Let Sister Lin take care of the business in Duzhong for you, and let Sister Zhen'er take care of the big business in Fuchu." Tanzi, now Shen Danmo is sent to work in the south, thanks to you being so calm."

Pei Yue said without changing his face: "Of course the whole family should work together, does Sister Zhen'er think so?"

Gu Zhen looked at his warm gaze, then at Ye Qi who raised his lips, nodded cautiously, "En!"
