The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

When Meng Wenyao saw Ning Qingze again in this life, she was afraid that she would kill him immediately. The game had just begun, so Ning Qingze had better not die so early.

"There will be a banquet held in the palace in the next few days. Let's wait until the banquet is over."

"Banquet, what kind of banquet, why didn't I know about it?"

Ning Qinghan's sharp tone was a bit harsh, and Meng Wenyao frowned: "The emperor's sister-in-law knows now."

A one-day game was not enjoyable, so Meng Mingxuan extended the game for two more days.

The next day, as soon as Meng Wenyao arrived at the imperial garden after reading the excerpt, Ye Lianyi strode over to say hello.

"I am willing to be loyal to the princess."

Ye Lianyi knew that the forces in the court were complex, and he did not want to join any camp and become a pawn in their struggle for power.

Now that he has joined the princess, the princess will not seek power and usurp the throne, and will always be of the same mind as the emperor. He is also loyal to the emperor, so there should be no problems.

Meng Wenyao nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Ye Lianyi to follow him.

"When the world was settled, Taizu granted the title of meritorious officials, which led to the creation of many noble families in the capital. Now several generations have passed, and these descendants cannot fight in battle with force, and cannot stabilize the country with culture. Do you know, Lord Marquis, that they are still there? What are you thinking about?"

"What?" Ye Lianyi responded blankly.

"These younger generations are all thinking about how to fight for power and profit and expand their families. If they don't have the ability, they can only draw capable people into their family. It's like a big tree whose root system can no longer If they cannot maintain the branches and leaves, they can only look for them elsewhere, so they actively form marriages in the hope of getting help from their in-laws.

I heard that your deputy general married the niece of the Minister of War. He beat a man to death while drunk and was fired from his official position. In order to appease his loss, the court compensated your deputy general's official position to the youngest son of the Minister of War. Your The deputy general is gone, and life will not be easy after marrying the niece of the Minister of War.

The Minister of War used a niece in exchange for the future of a son. I know that you asked your subordinates to marry into noble families. Your original intention was to find them a backer. Look, have they found a backer? "

"They didn't. They just became nutrients for this big tree, absorbed nutrients by this big tree, and then were thrown away."

Ye Lianyi didn't believe it. He thought it might be a coincidence and defended: "There are also people who live well after getting married."

"Yes." Meng Wenyao continued.

"Just like you, Lord Marquis, if you marry a wife, your in-laws will definitely use you to send people to the military camp. When your positions are filled by the densely populated in-laws, your son-in-law can be taken away at any time. Come down, and then anyone from your in-law family can take your place."

Ye Lianyi broke into a cold sweat when he thought that those people who had a good marriage were actually frantically arranging manpower for the Yue family.

"Why is this happening?"

"Because there are only so many official positions in the imperial court. Every official position you and your subordinates have is what those moths are racking their brains to fight for. Those moths can't achieve military merit themselves, so they can only find an in-law with military merit, and then slowly Eroding his rights and replacing him silently.

You think that their family has a great business and can rely on it, but they think that you have profound military achievements and can take it as their own. When we first got married, you were their pawns. Once they arranged the manpower, you were their roadblock. "

Seeing the tall Ye Lianyi staggering, Meng Wenyao smiled cruelly.

This is like investment and financial management. You are interested in other people's interest rates, but others are interested in your capital. When the time comes, you will inevitably be defrauded by others with both capital and interest.

"Are some families discussing marriage with the Marquis? These noble ancestors all established their families through military service. Now none of their children can go into battle to kill the enemy. They can only huddle in the capital and live on a meager salary. As long as one of the family becomes successful The Marquis's in-laws will soon be able to gain a foothold in the army through the Marquis. By then, the son-in-law of the Marquis will probably have no use value."

Meng Wenyao's repeated stimulation made Ye Lianyi a little confused. He couldn't believe that the happy life he asked his subordinates to find would be the cemetery where they were buried.

"I understand, thank you princess for your teaching."

"You're welcome, you are mine. From now on, you can't act rashly without my instructions, such as going on a blind date!"

Ye Lianyi's face suddenly turned red and he stuttered, "Yes."

Meng Wenyao suddenly came very close to him and asked him in a low voice: "Do you want to get a wife?"

"I want to, ah~ don't want to!"

It was rare to see such a cute side of the mighty Northwest Marquis, and Meng Wenyao couldn't help but laugh.

"Then if you want to marry in the future, tell me and I will help you find a good wife."

Ye Lianyi pretended not to hear in embarrassment. Meng Wenyao stopped teasing him and saw Ning Qinghan walking in the distance. She ordered: "Remember to attend the palace banquet in the three days. After the palace banquet, come to the imperial garden every three days." , teach me how to ride a horse."

"Yes."

Ning Qinghan saw Meng Wenyao talking alone with Ye Lianyi again, and couldn't help but feel nervous. Could this wayward princess have fallen in love with Ye Lianyi?

What about her brother? Moreover, the Marquis of the Northwest is discussing marriage with her aunt's daughter. If the princess really wants to marry the Marquis of the Northwest, what will happen to her cousin Lin Jiaojiao? Where can I find such a powerful husband?

Ning Qinghan rushed to Meng Wenyao and started a new round of slandering Ye Lianyi.

"Why is the princess talking to this barbarian again? I heard that he was raised by wolves when he was a child. He is still biting like a wolf after being several years old. Princess must stay away from him in the future."

Meng Wenyao widened her eyes in unison and asked in disbelief: "Is it so scary? Will his eyes turn green at night?"

"I don't know, but we'll find out soon."

Facing Ning Qinghan's mysterious smile, Meng Wenyao asked in unison: "Why did you know it so quickly?"

"Because Hou Xibei is discussing marriage with Jiaojiao. When he and Jiaojiao get married, we will find out later by asking Jiaojiao."

"Well, the Marquis of Northwest is so scary, why would Jiaojiao be willing to marry him?"

The queen choked and quickly found other topics to talk to Meng Wenyao.

In the next two days, Meng Wenyao came to Yuyuan to watch the game every day and exchanged a few words with Ye Lianyi.

This set off alarm bells in Ning Qinghan's heart. She had to quickly confirm her brother's marriage to Meng Wenyao, lest things change if it was too late.

The banquet was held as scheduled, and all the guests were old acquaintances. Meng Wenyao was surrounded by Lin Jiaojiao and the Queen's sister Ning Qingrou, chattering non-stop.

They were talking about the latest gossip in the capital, and they talked about Lin Jiaojiao's marriage.

Meng Wenyao asked curiously: "Jiaojiao, are you really going to marry Ye Lianyi?"

"What?" This was the first time Ning Qingrou heard about it. She almost jumped up in fright. When she saw others looking over here, she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment and asked hurriedly: "Jiaojiao, what the princess said is true. ?"
