After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

For three days in a row, the emperor was in the palace discussing with his people how to seize the mine quietly. Yan Muan did not participate at all. He was eating and drinking every day, either admiring the peach blossoms in this garden or in that garden. She went to the garden to admire the plum blossoms and pear blossoms, especially the apricot blossoms. She even set up a swing under the apricot tree, hoping that a gust of wind would help her feel what "apricot blossom light rain" was like.

"You are living a happy life."

The emperor didn't know when he arrived, and stood not far from Yan Mu'an. Yan Mu'an didn't even stand up, but turned around and said, "A hundred flowers are blooming in the spring. If I don't appreciate it, wouldn't I be wasting this wonderful spring time?"

"Look, the flowers are blooming in front of you."

This garden is called Baiguoyuan, and it is full of fruit trees. The flowers are blooming so beautifully that even the wind smells of the flowers.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his hands and looked around, "This mansion is better than the one in the capital."

"It's more than just a little bit good."

Yan Mu'an stood up, then picked an apricot flower and played with it in his hand, "This mansion is a palace built in Yongcheng. It was specially built for you. I only hope that you will remember to come to Yongcheng some year or month. It's a pity that you never came, so this palace has become the back garden of Yongcheng officials. They entertain guests here. As long as the palace can afford the money, they can book it here for a day and hold a big banquet."

"There are seven or eight such gardens. This is the orchard, and there are four other gardens of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, as well as a small animal garden, a hundred gardens, and a particularly large lotus pond. It can be said that there are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and everything is exquisite and gorgeous. Ever since I moved in, I feel like I don’t have to go out. The mansion has beautiful scenery every month, and it’s different every month. Some mansions outside have it, and those that don’t have it can be quickly owned, which shows the wealth of Yongcheng.”

The emperor snorted and did not speak. Yan Muan asked him to sit down at the stone table under the apricot tree, and he did not forget to say one more thing, "See if this stone table is made of jade, if there are not too many cracks, a few jade stones would be needed." The bracelet is also worth a lot of silver. Even if you can’t make the bracelet, you can still cut it into beads and it’s still worth a lot of silver. In the end, I just made the table top here.”

Just a table gave the emperor a better understanding of the prosperity of Yongcheng. Yan Muan held a pot and poured tea, "This tea is filial to the gentry below. It was picked in the morning and fried at noon. It arrived here in the afternoon. The taste is still very good." "

"This teapot was also delivered with the tea. It is made with Yongcheng's unique red clay and has a unique taste. Please."

The emperor was not in the mood to drink tea, but he still picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea had a refreshing fragrance but was not bitter at the entrance, and then there was a long sweet aftertaste, which made him feel comfortable. Then he took another sip, and Yan Mu'an smiled and added it. .

The emperor said: "You are living a good life."

"good."

Yan Mu'an took a sip of tea and said, "It's quite moisturizing. I think Yongcheng is quite suitable for me."

The two people who disliked each other sat down to drink tea together for the first time. Both parties were relatively restrained. The emperor took another sip of tea and said, "I received the money you gave me years ago. Is it easy for you to get your money?" "

Yan Mu'an didn't like hearing this. Why did she get the money easily?

"not easy."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it enough to just sit in the palace and collect bribes?"

"Absolutely not."

Yan Mu'an said that he had to defend himself, "I did receive a lot of filial piety from various families, but it was not given to me by filial piety, it was given to the prince. And I received the benefits and got things done. I took the time." Wouldn’t it take a lot of energy to chat politely with each lady?”

"I don't plan. Which ones should be ignored, which ones should be rewarded, and how to arrange the collected money. It all takes a lot of thought. Where do you think the money comes from for the prince to go out?"

"Where does the money come from to build bridges and roads everywhere? I am robbing the rich and giving to the poor. You are also one of the beneficiaries."

"I received the benefits, but how much did I use on myself? You have to speak with your conscience."

emperor......

"I just said one thing, and you have so much waiting for me?"

"It's not that your words are unpleasant and you have denied my efforts. You have chilled my heart." Yan Mu'an looked sad, "My princes have never said that about me. They all know how hard I have worked and know that I am in charge of Yongcheng. easy."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I didn't think carefully about what I said. I apologize to you."

The man in front of me didn't scold him or cut him off. He knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so why did he still complain? He had been the emperor for so many years, and he never thought that he would still have to apologize.

Yan Mu'an pressed forward, "Don't speak so superficially in the future."

Emperor: Why is your heart so clogged?

"Tell me about the situation of the Yong family in Yongcheng."

A piece of peach blossom fell into the tea. Yan Muan looked amused and didn't care. He talked about the situation of the Yong family in Yongcheng and the changes in his attitude towards the Yong family, "Generally speaking, they are far away from the capital. No one cares about these people. Their The gifts were sent to the capital without any response, and they had an attitude of breaking things. With no hope of future, they could only choose to make money and dominate the three-acre land of Yongcheng, but they still had a desire to make progress in their hearts. I have done a good job in running errands, and now I am assisting the people in the government to supervise the construction of roads and bridges in various places. They also paid close attention to the smooth tax collection last autumn. "

"And they have plenty of money. Part of the money I sent to the capital was given to me by them."

"that is......"

Yan Mu'an was a little embarrassed, and the emperor raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Why do I feel that they don't look like members of the Yong family? I have met all the Yong family members in the capital, and they all look very upright, especially my prince, who is very handsome and charming. But the Yong family here More or less..."

The emperor took over her words, "Unsatisfactory?"

Yan Mu'an nodded, and the emperor was happy, "This is just how their branch is, they are not even ancestors..."

Forget it, I want to say that it was the fault of my ancestors. I chose a mistress with amazing bones in the end, and then gave birth to a litter of offspring with amazing bones. "I haven't seen this family of people in some years." .”

It seems that the younger generations are still in shock, and they don't know what kind of powerful bloodline they are, so many generations can't handle it.

"Let's find a time later for them to come see me."

Yan Mu'an nodded, "Don't reveal your secret. Yongcheng is not safe. I have been assassinated several times. If your identity is exposed, will I risk your life?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Assassinate you?"

"Ah."

Yan Mu'an was still a little proud, "I feel that my existence threatens them. Look, everyone outside knows that I am very important."

Emperor: He doesn’t have any more worries.
