Jiaochu

Before going out, Zhao Ce provoked her again, saying why she went again if she wasn't going, and also said that women are indeed fickle in their words. Ye Lingxi asked him why he didn't bring Mingyan with him, and Zhao Ce said that he didn't love Mingyan. She loves to join in the fun, has a fragile body, and cannot go to crowded places. The subtext seems to say that she loves to join in the fun, has a strong body, and is not feminine at all.

She ignored him with a cold face, got on her carriage and left first.

On the way, Zhao Ce stopped the carriage again and said that they would ride there together. Otherwise, outsiders would think that the Hou Mansion was not treating her as a princess well. When the news reached the ears of her second brother, she wanted to settle accounts with him. She said it in such a weird way that she struck a murderous note. Looking away, he had a strange smile on his face, as if he was quite happy. If she was so angry, she would definitely have to beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate...

The two of them sat on each side of the carriage, each watching his own business.

When the carriage stopped at the palace, she saw Zhao Ce's proud face, and she didn't know why he was so proud. When he got off the carriage, he reached out to help her, deliberately pretending to be a considerate and considerate husband.In front of outsiders, she gritted her teeth and cooperated, acting out the drama of harmony between husband and wife. She was the one who insisted on getting married in the first place, and even if she was a mute eating coptis, she would never let outsiders laugh.

After entering the house, the two went their separate ways.

She wandered around the palace garden with the heaves and bells, and then met her second brother.

Ye Lingjue asked Zhao Ce if he was good to her. If he was not good, he would make peace with her and not stay in the Hou Mansion to suffer. She was a tough talker. It was clear that her life in the Hou Mansion was not going well at all. There was discord between husband and wife, and there was also trouble between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Because of their dissatisfaction, they wanted to slap her in the face and pretend to be fat, saying that she was living a very good life and everything was going well. If Zhao Ce was asked to go east, he would not dare to go west.

While the two were talking, Prince Pingyang walked over with a middle-aged man of similar age. The two of them walked and talked as if they were acquaintances.She also asked who the other party was at that time, and Ye Lingjue replied that he was the second young master of the Taishi Mansion.

……

Du Liang.

She remembered the name. Du Xuan's second uncle seemed to be a general. He was stationed abroad before, and she didn't know when he returned to Beijing.

After Eunuch De led Qin Min and Du Liang into the royal study, he left after a while. When he saw Ye Lingxi approaching, he greeted him enthusiastically and said, "Princess, the emperor has important matters with General Qin and General Du." Let’s talk about it, maybe the princess will come back later.”

Ye Lingxi handed the food box in her hand to Eunuch De, and after a few more instructions, she went back with Hehe and Bell.Eunuch De handed the food box to Xiao Anzi and asked him to put it in the waiter first.

After Qin Min and Du Liang came out of the imperial study, Eunuch De walked in with a plate of chestnut cakes and said, "Your Majesty, the third princess just brought this over. It was made by Concubine Lan herself. Please try it, Your Majesty." "

Ye Lanchen relaxed his frown a little, ate a piece of sweet chestnut cake, took a sip of tea, and continued to deal with government affairs.

……

Calling two generals into the palace at the same time, does it mean that the war ahead has changed?

Ye Lingxi walked forward while thinking about it, not paying attention to which direction he was going.Until Hehe and Lingdang reminded them that there was a koi pond in front of them. Because of the last falling into the water incident, both of them were a little nervous.She glanced forward and looked across the koi pond to the pavilion in front.

Why did the two of them get together again?Ye Ling Xixin said.

Dong Mo, Jing Zhe and Hong Xing were all guarding outside the pavilion, while Ye Lingjue and Murong Ze were talking inside.

Ye Lingxi asked the hehe and the bell to stay nearby. She crouched down and quietly touched the back of the pavilion. When she got close to the pavilion, she moved over little by little. She moved very gently and crouched under the railing of the pavilion. She didn't hear clearly yet. What? She caught a glimpse of someone walking over from the corner of her eye. She immediately pretended to lower her head to look for something and carefully checked every inch of land under her feet.Jingzhe walked over expressionlessly. She stretched out her hand to grab a handful on the ground, put a handful of air in her purse, then stood up as if nothing had happened, turned around and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" Jingzhe did not answer. , made a gesture of invitation.

When she followed Jingzhe and walked out from behind the pavilion, Dong Mo came over to lead the way. Hong Xing bowed politely and made an invitation gesture, with a delicate smile on her face, as if she was inviting you to enter the urn.

She probably guessed some of the reasons for this vague hostility.

After entering the pavilion, both pairs of eyes looked over. In front of her, Ye Lingjue's expression was always gentle, as if he didn't know why he was angry. When she came to salute, before she lowered her head, Ye Lingjue raised her head. He held her hand to help her get up, and a trace of sadness flashed in those peach blossom eyes, feeling that the two of them were a little stranger again.

"Did the princess hide there just now? I thought it was some little palace maid who was eavesdropping." Murong Ze chuckled, his dark pupils glowing with amusement.

"What are Brother Murong and Second Brother talking about? Why are you afraid of others eavesdropping?" Ye Ling said sharply.

Hearing the second brother's voice, Ye Lingjue smiled lightly and said, "I didn't say anything, I'll take you back."

"It's okay to let the princess listen." Murong Ze said, "I think the princess is quite courageous. She is not even afraid of ghosts, so she will not be scared."

The memory is quite good, Ye Ling said with a heart, a pair of big eyes swept back and forth on the two people's faces, asking them what happened with their eyes.

"The princess doesn't know yet, but General Yan was ambushed on the road." Murong Ze said.

Her heart skipped a beat. She hadn't had any bad dreams in the past few days, so why was she being ambushed? Could it be that there was a spy or traitor who tipped off the news? She asked if someone was okay, but Murong Ze didn't answer in a hurry, as if he was doing it on purpose. It’s tantalizing, “The princess wants to know if anyone is okay?”

Ye Lingxi turned his attention to Ye Lingjue and said, "Let's talk about it on the way."

After leaving the pavilion, the two walked towards Weiyang Palace, followed by Dong Mo, He He and Ling Ding.

Ye Lingjue said that when the army marched to a canyon, someone set up an ambush above the canyon. When the army passed by, people on both sides of the canyon threw rocks and fired arrows, so the army had to withdraw from the canyon first.

Ye Lingxi thought about the scene when he encountered the ambush. Rocks rolled down, arrows were fired, war horses neighed, and Dada's hoofbeats stirred up thousands of dust, roaring towards the outside of the valley... Behind those dusty figures , she recognized Yan Fei at a glance. Of the thousands of troops galloping away in her mind, only that cold and determined figure remained. She unconsciously raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head. The jade was cold, But it gave her a sense of peace of mind.

Ye Lingjue turned around and glanced, his eyes paused on the plum blossom hairpin for a moment.

"Brother Yan...shouldn't be injured, right?" She asked this question with a slight hesitation.

Ye Lingjue hummed, and then said, "This time the Yue clan rebelled, my father suspected that Xi Yan was behind it."

Hearing the word "Xi Yan", Ye Lingxi frowned unconsciously.
