Family Has a Concubine

Ye Tangcai came in with a watermelon and put it on the bluestone table under the banana tree in the courtyard.

"What a big watermelon!" Ye Lingjiao, Mother Qian, and Apei walked over together. "Is there a watermelon to eat so early? It used to be only for hot geniuses."

Sister Qian said: "It usually takes place in May, but it's only the beginning of April. It's really rare."

"Qiuju, get a knife." Ye Tangcai sat on the stone pier.

Qiuju and Huiran in the west wing had already smelled the noise and stopped cleaning. The two walked out together. Qiuju went to get the knife and plate, and Huiran held the watermelon to wash.

After a while, the two returned, and the watermelon was cut in half.

Hong Yingying's watermelon was sweet and watery. It was the first time I ate watermelon this year. Several people ate it happily. The watermelon was not too big. If you were not careful, you would eat too much, and then there was one piece left.

Ye Tangcai quickly picked it up and put it on the plate: "This belongs to the third master."

Yuyang standing at the door is about to cry!

"Yuyang, you are back!" Huiran hurriedly called out when she saw Yuyang.

Ye Tang turned her head and saw Yuyang. Then she suddenly remembered the watermelon and said that she would save half of it for him. She twitched the corner of her mouth and pointed to the piece on the plate: "You eat it."

"No, leave it to the third master." Yuyang grumbled, how dare he rob the third master for food!

"I'll give you apples and pastries!" Ye Tang asked Qiuju to get it after she said it. He turned around and said to Yuyang, "Can you inquire?"

"I heard it." Yuyang nodded. They used to have long-term connections with some idlers or storytellers in order to inquire about the news. For this matter, Yuyang can get news once they go out: "Xu Rui did it. He spent it. With a few dollars, I bought some idle guys to talk in theaters and tea houses, so they spread more and more fiercely."

"What is becoming more and more fierce?" Ye Lingjiao frowned when she heard Xu Rui's name.

"The matter between you and that Meng Xin." Ye Tangcai said.

Ye Lingjiao and Mother Qian changed their faces.

Sister Qian said angrily: "That little bastard! She still acts as a demon in this field." As she said, her eyes flashed hard: "You can't just let it go."

"Tomorrow, I will let someone go to my grandfather and tell him to go to the Ministry of Households and change his mother's household registration book earlier." Ye Tangcai said, sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He will fall."

Mother Qian was startled: "This...what does it have to do with him."

"Mother, go back and just wait." Ye Tang Cai smiled faintly.

"Good." Ye Lingjiao agreed immediately.

Mother Qian was also shocked when she heard that, she thought Ye Tangcai was amazing. Although Yin Tingniang couldn't see what she had done in this matter, Ye Tangcai was calm and relaxed since then, and as a result, Yin Tingniang and Xu Rui were both destroyed.

If Ye Tangcai didn't do anything behind her back, she wouldn't believe that she was killed.

"Then, I'll go back first, Sister Ling is here well, don't think about it." Mother Qian said, she got up and left.

Huiran said: "Miss Ling, the house has been cleaned up."

Looking at the West Wing, Ye Lingjiao suddenly remembered something and looked at Ye Tangcai: "Sister Tang, is it convenient for me to live here?"

"How inconvenient, convenient." Ye Tangcai smiled and nodded.

Qiuju came out with a plate of cut apples and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He wrinkled her face when she heard these words. The third master already lives outside, and the third master will never come here.

"But I live here, can't your third master come back?" Ye Lingjiao said. No matter how great she is, she knows that it is inconvenient for her husband and wife to live in someone's yard.

"Nothing. Lanzhuju is his study room outside. He wants to study and work, and he is used to staying there." Ye Tangcai frowned lightly, with a faint expression, "Let's go, go and greet my mother."

While talking, he stood up and walked out, and came to other people's house to stay. Naturally, he wanted to say hello to the mistress.

Ye Lingjiao saw that Ye Tangcai's expression was unnatural, and hurriedly caught up with her: "Are you quarreling with your niece and son-in-law?"

"Nothing." Ye Tang pouted, and went to hold her hand. "Come on, I'm going to talk again when I'm slow."

Ye Lingjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she thought about Ye Tang's picking a watermelon for Chu Yunpan just now, and seeing that there was no quarrel.

...

Early the next morning, Ye Tangcai asked Hui Ran to go to Qiu's house to urge Ye Hewen to change her household registration.

Mother Cai went to Ye's house with Qiu Jing.

Ye Hewen has been pretending to be ill for the past two days. He sat in the study and his expression changed when he heard Mother Cai and Qiu Jing come together, and shouted at Liu Er, "Let them go away!"

I don’t want Qiu Jing to have come to the door of the study, and said to Ye Hewen: "Is the Ye family reluctant to let our sister-in-law? Thinking about when to ask my sister-in-law to come back?"

Ye Hewen's old face was green and white: "Who asked to come back? Okay! I'll go to the household office tomorrow morning, okay? See you off!"

Liu Er hurriedly walked out, making a gesture of asking, Qiu Jing and Madam Cai left together.

Ye Hewen really didn't want to go out, but Wen's people were forced to the door, so he had to let Liu Er go to the household office with his household registration early in the morning.

Who knows, he sat down with Yao Li, the head of the household department, and Zhang Zan rushed in with someone, received the household registration book, and dragged the two of them to Dali Temple.

Ye Hewen's heart: Ten thousand mud horses gallop past!

Looking at Zhang Zan's relatives, this old husband, Ye Hewen even sold horse batches in his heart.

Ye Tangcai also asked Qing'er to take a hundred taels of silver and go outside to buy the idlers and let them say something else.

Sitting in a small teahouse, Xu Rui heard that the group of people who liked to talk about gossip stopped talking about Ye Lingjiao. Instead, they talked about other things, and a bitter sneer appeared on his face.

He knew that they would not sit back and wait for cheating, and would definitely spend money to stop the rumors.

But what about that, Ye Lingjiao's reputation has been ruined.

As long as Xu Rui has him for one day, he will not let them get better.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much money in his hands, so he has to wait!

Get out of the capital for a while, and then come back after a period of recuperation. Then the prince should also be released. Although Miao Jihe's affairs had been messed up that time, it wasn't his business.

After waiting for a while, the prince's anger disappeared. The prince appreciated him and said that he was a good general. When there is a chance, he will do a few beautiful things for the prince himself. The identity was once again investigated.

Xu Rui took out a drop of money, stroked a hundred copper plates from it, put it on the table, and was about to turn around and leave.

I don't want to, but at this time there are four government officials.

Xu Rui was taken aback. He knew that this was from Dali Temple. What was going on?

"Xu Rui, right! Squeeze away!" Xu Rui was dragged away with a fierce wave of the leader.

"What are you going to do? Ah-" Xu Rui exclaimed, not wanting a ya slap to slap in the past, Xu Rui slapped a tooth.

Zhang Zan suddenly squeezed Ye Hewen and Yao Li away, and the whole ruling and opposition parties were alarmed.

Royal Study Room——

Emperor Zhengxuan was looking at the zhezi, and the little **** rushed to report: "The emperor, Dali Temple has arrested Yao Shilang."

Emperor Zhengxuan raised his gray eyebrows: "Zhang Zan caught Yao Li?" After speaking, those dim old eyes flashed brightly.

Cai Jie, standing aside with a whisk in his hand, said: "The emperor, it must be because of the change of household registration."

The Emperor Yin Tingniang and Ye Chengde didn't want to bother and move the crowd for their sake. But at that time, I thought about the remarriage certificate, and maybe even the household registration was changed. This is related to the issue of his courtiers, and he naturally cares about it.

Emperor Zhengxuan said, "Zhang Zan, originally his granddaughter was going to be the prince's side concubine, but later she didn't. I thought he was going to have trouble with the prince! As a result, he was still close to the prince for more than half a year." At this point, his tone became cold.

The prince is his preferred heir.

But he is not dead yet, he is the emperor.

Looking at the old courtier who pulled up with one hand and the prince, the Emperor Zhengxuan was naturally unhappy. Later, Zhang Zan's granddaughter did not become a princess, and was indirectly made notorious. Not only did Zhang Zan not alienate the prince, she became more diligent.

This made Emperor Zhengxuan unbearable.

Emperor Zhengxuan said again: "This matter... is related to Yao Li. A few days ago, he didn't even ask the household department. He just said to buy the media officer. Originally, I was still angry. The boneless man was just like that. Passed. Where did I think of..."

"Where did I think that he was just standing still." Cai Jie said.

Emperor Zhengxuan felt better at this, and said with a smile: "That old man is still loyal."

"The emperor, Dali Temple please see me." The little eunuch's voice sounded outside.

"Come in." Emperor Zhengxuan was in a good mood.

After a while, Zhang Zan bowed in, bowed first, and then knelt down and said: "Please forgive me, the emperor. Last time the emperor gave the remarriage letter to the Weichen, and Weichen only reported Xu Rui's bid for the media officer. At that time, Xu Rui lied and did not confess to Yao Li, the servant of the household department. If Weichen suddenly went to the household department to arrest Mr. Yao, he feared that Ye Hewen would get the news to destroy the household registration book on his hand, and the evidence was insufficient, so he stayed still. Until today, Ye Hewen came here. Come in with the household registration book to change the household registration. Both parties get the household registration book, and the Weichen will kill them all. Weichen has concealed something from the emperor and begs the emperor to condemn it."

Emperor Zhengxuan watched him crouch in front of him. This old courtier was still very loyal to him and knew who was his master. In order to complete this case, the prince was stabbed!

Emperor Zhengxuan thought about it, and then smiled slightly: "Zhang Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself, and you don't want to handle the case either."

Zhang Zan dared to raise his head and saw the gentle smile on the wrinkled face of the old emperor. He was very relieved. At the same time, the cold sweat almost soaked the clothes behind him.

In these days, the old emperor rarely smiled at him. Last time he reported that Xu Rui had only bought the media officer for a while, the old emperor only said indifferently.

He originally thought he was caused by illness, but where did he think of...

If you don't check Yao Li and help the prince to fill up these holes, maybe you will really be like Ye Tangcai said, before the prince can take the throne, the Zhang family will have no place in the capital.

"Go back and continue the trial!" Zhengxuan said.

"Yes!" Zhang Zan agreed, then bowed and retired.

After Zhang Zan left, Emperor Zhengxuan was in a good mood and didn't want to. The little **** outside walked in again: "The emperor, there is an emergency report from Yingcheng!"

Hearing the word "Yingcheng", Emperor Zhengxuan's brows jumped.

Yingcheng is the gate of Daqi, the land of the throat, the place where the Lu tribe in the west, the barbarians in the Southern Dynasties, and the two foreign tribes meet.

At that time, the Chu family had been guarding there for decades before Daqi had a peaceful sleep. As a result, the Chu family was defeated and a Feng family came to guard. But the Feng family was also defensible, and often heard news of invading again.

Today there must be something bad to report there suddenly.

"Take it in!" Emperor Zhengxuan's face was black.

With a pale face, the little **** ran in anxiously and succeeded.

Emperor Zhengxuan took a look at the Zhezi, his old face sank, and his brows kept jumping.

"The emperor..." Cai Jie looked at Emperor Zhengxuan's expression, his heart beating suddenly.

"Humph! Waste!" Emperor Zhengxuan slapped the zhezi in his hand on the table, the slack flesh on his old face trembling uncontrollably.

Cai Jie shrank in fright, glanced at the folds on the sandalwood case secretly, and when he saw the contents, his face changed.

...

The news of the arrest of Yao Li, the minister of household ministry, spread throughout the government and the public.

In the Hanlin Academy, Chen Zhiheng and Zhao Fanxu were whispering this matter.

Chu Yunpan was leisurely washing and putting, then hung up the pen one by one, and then went down.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Yuhan rushed over and said in a low voice: "San Ye, the prince calls you."

"Well, where do you go this time?" Chu Yunpan whispered.

"Beiqing Winery." Yu Han said.

Wang Liang, Chu Yunpan and others have more than one place to contact. After all, they often go to one place, and when there is more time, they will always be suspected.

Chu Yunpan nodded and was about to leave. Chen Zhiheng behind came to catch up: "Yun Pan, let's have a bar together?"

Chu Yun raised his lips and smiled: "No appointment." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Huh?" Chen Zhiheng looked at his back with a bitter expression.

Chu Yun walked around to the stable and got into the carriage.

Yuhan drove the painting and left the palace gate. After about two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped at the Beiqing Winery.

After Chu Yunpan got off the car, he came to the Lanhuaya room familiarly.

When I walked in, I saw the huge bottle of Butterfly Play Chunlan. When I walked around, I saw King Liang sitting on the Grand Master's chair under the window.

"Master." Chu Yunpan sat down on the chair next to the big round table.

"Yao Li did a good job." Liang Wang smiled softly and touched his chin. "I heard that your wife did it! Next time you do this, I will ask her to do it."

Chu Yunpan twitched the corner of his mouth: "No."

Wang Liang chuckled softly and poured himself a glass of wine.

"The prince promised me that after the emperor returned the order, he would never ask her to do anything. This incident happened to be related to her, so she was allowed to take action." Chu Yun climbed.

"Look at how you look like a short guard." Liang Wang smiled. "Okay, I didn't come to you today to talk about this."

Ye Tangcai did have a way of doing things, but King Liang didn't have to turn her into his own pawn. All he wants is a certificate of fame. Ye Tangcai put the emperor's return order on the prince's mansion and cheated the prince once. That is the handle. With such a handle, she would not betray them.
