atypical prostitute

Chapter 145

After returning to the Hou's mansion, it was already Xu time. After Lici washed up and was about to rest, Mammy La brought Ayu's mother and son over and asked how to arrange it.

Li Ci couldn't help being stunned, and said, "Didn't Shaohou make arrangements before going out?"

Madam La respectfully said: "Young Marquis said that all matters in the inner courtyard, no matter how big or small, are decided by Madam."

decide?

The hand holding the comb stopped, and Li Ci looked at the dim yellow candlelight in the bronze mirror, and his heart fluctuated accordingly.

Ye Chuan, is your decision based on your complete trust in me, or do you want to test my bottom line?
When she was in Yinzhou, she had already seen that Ye Chuan was a person who loved the old and protected the short-term. A man with such a temperament is naturally excellent as a husband, but marriage is not as good as love. .The more he trusted Li Ci, the more Li Ci felt that things were difficult to deal with.

Most importantly, that Ah Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

However, if it comes, it will be safe. Since she has chosen this man, she is naturally aware of what may happen.

So he put down the comb and said to the nanny: "Let's put it in the Bisha Courtyard for now. After the new year, when everything settles down, I will find a secluded house outside for them. Master Hou is in the limelight, and his words are formidable. We have to guard against it."

Nanny La is a sensible person, knowing that Ayu's status is embarrassing, if she is allowed to live in the inner courtyard with her child, sooner or later rumors will arise, and she is relieved that the young lady is so clear-headed.

Immediately go down and arrange for Ayu's mother and son to rest in Bisha Courtyard.

——Although the accommodation was arranged in Xushi, it was inevitable to be hasty, but this Bisha Courtyard was originally prepared for the women of the Ye clan, with all kinds of items available, and Nanny La is a shrewd person, so naturally no one will be caught in the wrong place.

On the contrary, Li Ci, after seeing off Nanny La, was still upset for some reason, clutching the comb, staring blankly at the indifferent face in the bronze mirror for a long time, and suddenly said: "Prepare Lan Tang."

……

……

The soft incense slowly flows out from the golden stove, mixed with water vapor with ambiguity, and the humid air is covered with the charm of flowers, not flowers, not fog, not fog.

After taking a bath, Li Ci, who was only wearing unlined clothes, sat beside the white marble pool, watching the water dripping down her ankles, wrinkling the water in the pool.

Because of the fusion of fragrant medicine and pearl powder, the color of the pool water is milky white and mixed with stars. Whenever the water drops, you can see the jade flakes and pearl powder in the water scattered, intertwined into an artistic conception that no one can understand.

Li Ci watched quietly, appreciating the mystery of good fortune in this quiet movement.

The earth dragon was burned in the room, so even if she only wore unlined clothes, she didn't feel cold, but she still had a splitting headache, and too many things came to her mind, making her overwhelmed.

"what should I do?"

With a wry smile, on the surface she is majestic and majestic, but in fact she is in dire straits, trembling every step she takes.

Ye Wurong naturally helped her, and Ye Chuan also wholeheartedly for her, but the fact that she is the daughter of King Changsha will not change.Right now Xiao Zhiqian is anxious to suppress feudal lords and local princes, and has no time to attend to her affairs.When the south of the Yangtze River is cleaned up, and there are no forces opposing the Xiao regime in all directions, maybe it will be my turn.

After all, how could someone else be allowed to snore on the side of the couch!
When that day really comes, what will Ye Chuan choose?

Country and family, which is more important?

Thinking of this, Li Ci felt a chill behind her. She smiled wryly, and turned her head, only to see the maids waiting for the bath come out in a file. Behind the screen, a heroic young man appeared, dressed in vermilion engraved brocade, with eleven gold belts around his waist , it was Ye Chuan.

"Young Marquis."

She called out softly, and was about to get up to salute, but Ye Chuan took the first step to sit beside her, and asked with concern, "It's so late, you still haven't slept?"

Because she had just finished taking a bath, Li Ci's face was flushed, her long hair was damp and drooping, and the translucent gauze was close to her skin due to the water vapor, vaguely, like looking at flowers through fog.She sat sideways on the jade steps of the pool, the milky pool water slid down her hair, and finally rolled down her flawless jade feet. The natural blend of the daughter's coquettishness and the woman's charm is more exciting than any temptation.

She muttered softly: "If you don't come back, I won't be able to sleep."

Her eyes were watery, and she was about to cry.

Seeing her so sad, Ye Chuan immediately felt heartbroken, and blamed himself: "It's my fault today, I shouldn't have come back so late."

Li Ci didn't blame her, she just leaned forward softly, and said softly: "The New Year is approaching, and the affairs are complicated, and the Shaohou is inevitably busy. I only hate that I am not a man, so I can't share the worries of the Shaohou."

She blamed herself so much, Ye Chuan felt even more loving in his heart, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. When you were in Yinzhou, didn't you tell me that you wanted to open a Songhe Tower in the capital? Today When I went to Wudehou's mansion, it happened that a friend of Wudehou Shizi had offended the officials and wanted to sell the real estate in Chongrenfang."

"how much is it?"

Ye Chuan said: "He just wants to get rid of it quickly, but the price is quite arbitrary, less than 50 yuan."

To the west of Chongrenfang is the imperial city, to the southeast is Dongshi, and to the south is Pingkangfang. There are many restaurants, restaurants and inns, noisy day and night, and endless lights.Although there is a price limit issued by Shangshutai, it can't resist the private exploitation and deduction.So upon hearing this, Li Ci already knew that the man was half selling, half giving away, and wanted to take this opportunity to make a good relationship with Ye Chuan.

But how could it be possible that just as I was about to open a restaurant, someone provoked the official to sell the real estate of Chongrenfang.

Most likely someone borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but this kind of considerate, but...

Thinking of some of the rumors about the son of Marquis Wude, Li Ci smiled wryly. It's really pitiful to be so infatuated. It's a pity that things about feelings don't necessarily pay off.

...Amei...I...

Thinking of Ah Mei, Li Ci suddenly felt heartbroken, so he said perfunctorily: "Young Marquis thinks it's good, so that's good."

Ye Chuan saw that she was absent-minded, and said with a smile: "Why, are you angry at me for coming back too late?"

Li Ci was tired, but he didn't want to be seen through by him, so he had an idea and said, "I encountered some unpleasantness in the princess' mansion today."

"You actually encountered unpleasantness with the eldest princess?"

Ye Chuan was obviously aroused by this topic.

Li Ci then narrated the dispute between the Canglang Pavilion and Shangguan Nuguan. Ye Chuan listened quietly. Finally, he squeezed Li Ci's hand and said, "King Liang is indeed a character. But brother-in-law His mind is wider."

"how do I say this?"

Li Ci raised her head and looked at Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan said with a smile: "The overall situation of the world is under the control of my brother-in-law. Although I can't give you an exact time, my brother-in-law has indeed made a plan. King Liang's authority will definitely be cut off."

Seeing Ye Chuan's smile, Li Ci was extremely confident, and it seemed that Xiao Zhiqian was about to make a big move again.But Ye Chuan didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't pursue it. She changed the subject and said, "Actually, the eldest princess invited me over today because of another matter."

"tell me the story."

Li Ci pretended to be indignant and said: "My Liu family cousin, who has always kept himself clean, did not know what evil happened to him the night before, and went to Pingkang to drink flower wine under the influence of a group of dudes."

"This one……"

Ye Chuan hummed in embarrassment. Although he didn't set foot in Huajie and Liuxiang, he was a man after all, and there were some things that he knew by heart.

Li Ci pretended not to see that he wanted to defend his compatriots, and continued: "It's fine if it's just drinking flowers and wine. However, he is stubborn and has an argument with someone because of a trivial matter. That person is also rampant I'm used to being overwhelmed by him, and I couldn't get angry, so I found a group of local ruffians to beat the black stick. Unexpectedly, this person who asked for someone to beat the black stick was beaten by the black stick. Yes, they are clamoring to sue the officials!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Qu's head wrapped like a pig's head floated in front of Li Ci's eyes again, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.

Ye Chuan also laughed, and said: "This matter is easy to solve. Don't say that he is unreasonable, it is really your cousin of the Liu family who brought someone to fight, and I will definitely protect my shortcomings!"

Seeing that he agreed readily, Li Ci took advantage of the situation and said, "The eldest princess has already suppressed the matter. It's just... my cousin has been in Beijing for more than three months to report on his work, and he is still unemployed. If someone takes the opportunity to spread rumors, I am worried that it will be detrimental to... !"

There is no dynasty with a thousand years, but a family with a thousand years.The layer upon layer of in-law relationship between aristocratic families can be said to affect the whole body.The rise of Ye Ziyun's lineage has already made Ye's orthodoxy fearful, and now the Ye's sister and brother have gotten involved with three of the five great clans through marriage.

But Ye Chuan felt that this might not be a bad thing.

He said to Li Ci in a soft voice: "I think this incident is a blessing and a curse for Cousin Liu. On the surface, he has gained a notorious reputation for being competitive, but secretly he can win His Majesty's favor."

"really?"

Li Ci raised her head, her eyes shining with undisguised joy.

Ye Chuan was stunned for a while, and then said after a long time: "Your Majesty has a lot of thoughts, so he doesn't like people who are as scheming as he is. Cousin Liu's family has been living in seclusion for three months since he entered Beijing. He seems to be obedient and decent, but in fact he has aroused suspicion from the monarch." Fortunately, this time it was revealed that he beat a black stick for a woman in the street, such a true temperament, if it is spread to the inner circle, it will make His Majesty Long Yan very happy."

Li Ci nodded, leaning against Ye Chuan, dreaming, "Then... what should I do? Your Majesty doesn't like me very much."

Ye Chuan comforted: "You are my wife, no matter how much His Majesty dislikes you, I will stand in the way for you. The worst result is to go to the border together. The world is so big, there will always be you and me shelter."

He spoke gently, and Li Ci took the opportunity to seize the speech problem, bit him hard, and said: "I want you to always give me only one place to stay in your arms!"

Although the words were vulgar, they were full of friendship. Ye Chuan said softly to Li Ci: "I don't know how to take concubines, and I don't know how to raise concubines. My woman will always be only you."

"really?"

Ye Chuan said: "Of course it is true."

Looking at Li Ci's eyes, there is also a bit of enthusiasm.

Li Ci knew what this look meant, not to mention that she had already noticed the subtle changes in him, and immediately changed the subject, saying: "Mother and son Ayu, I will let Nanny La stay in Bisha Courtyard temporarily. When the new year opens, the steward will give They bought a secluded small courtyard and went out alone. The melon fields and plums should not cause any gossip."

"Madam has always done things properly."

The hand has reached the waist.

Li Ci said again: "The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, but I don't know what to prepare for?"

Ye Chuan said: "It doesn't matter whether you follow the old rules or make new ones, the madam decides everything."

While speaking, his fingers moved another two inches.

Li Ci secretly yelled that it was not good, but he still had to smile on his face, and calmly removed his Lushan claws, got up and said: "It's late at night, Lord Hou will go to court tomorrow, let's rest early."

Ye Chuan was used to being a rascal, so he grabbed Li Ci who was about to get away, snatched him back into his arms, and said, "I've already called for sick leave, so it's okay tonight..."

"But……"

"Compared to the taste of Yuhongyi, I have only seen it in books, but I have not tried it myself. It just so happens that there is a pool of condensation here, and there is such a charming lady. If I live up to it, I am afraid that even the heavens will not forgive me."
