The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

"Would you like to go to the stables?"

The three brothers' eyes lit up. Are they asking General Xiaohua to ride with us? What a great relationship!

"like!"

"General Xiaohua, let's go!"

Ye Buhuo: "Just the three of you can go."

"Ah? General Xiaohua isn't coming with us? Your Majesty, are you giving us three a day off just to let us go out and have fun? Your Majesty, you're a very nice person, hehehe."

After listening to Ye Buhuo's words, Zhang Guang smiled foolishly.

"Well, let's go."

Watching the three brothers walk away arm in arm, talking and laughing, Ye Yi, who had been silent the whole time, silently turned his gaze away.

Well, none of the three 'deputy generals' are smart.

When they arrived at the stable, the three brothers were dumbfounded.

This! This! This! You asked us to clean the stables? You didn't ask us to come here to play? Your Majesty, you are so cruel!

The three brothers wailed in their hearts.

After sending the three brothers away, Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke slowly walked towards the door.

"Sui Sui just went to see the Hua family army?"

"Well, I asked Sixth Brother about the food and salary situation of the Hua family army."

Thinking back to the time when the Emperor feared the Black Iron Army more than the Hua Family Army, he asked:

"Does the Black Iron Army have problems in this regard?"

After saying that, he remembered that if you are not a member of the Black Iron Army, you shouldn’t ask this kind of thing: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask."

Of course Ye Buhuo didn't care about Hua Wuke's inquiries about the Xuantie Army.

After all, she is his princess, there is nothing she doesn't know. However, when he heard Hua Wu Ke call Hua Liuliu brother and call himself Prince, Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows.

But nothing was said. Sooner or later, the name would have to be changed.

"Sui Sui is our General Xiaohua, of course you can ask."

"The Black Iron Army's food and wages are mostly supported by Anyang, so there is no problem.

I have some vague knowledge of the Hua family army's situation. They have already arranged for people to go to Anyang City to reclaim wasteland.

When the grain is harvested next year, the old general's worries will be solved. No need to worry every year."

Hua Wu Ke turned his head and looked at him blankly. He didn't expect that Ye Buhuo was already making plans for the Hua family army.

As they were talking, they had already boarded the carriage.

Ye Buhuo often came to Xuantie Camp on horseback, and this time was no exception. He handed the horse to a servant and went back in a carriage with Hua Wuke.

When the carriage drove into the city gate, Ye Buhuo spoke:

"The market is very lively today, do you want to go and take a look, Sui Sui?"

The two of them got off the carriage together and walked leisurely along the street.

There are all kinds of stalls on both sides, some selling small things for children's homes, some selling various wooden toys that children like, and some selling study items and calligraphy and paintings.

There are also people setting up book stalls and telling stories at tables, using storytelling to attract passers-by to stop and watch.

The storyteller did have some skills, which drew cheers from the audience from time to time.

Even people from the restaurant behind the stalls stuck their heads out to join in the fun, and when they heard the suspenseful parts, they casually threw down a few coins.

Signal the storyteller to hurry up and not keep the audience in suspense.

Amidst the bustle, Hua Wu Ke suddenly felt something warm touching his face.

I also smelled the fragrance of osmanthus cake.

As soon as he turned his sight, he saw Ye Buhuo holding a pack of osmanthus cake wrapped in paper and pressing it against his face. He tilted his face slightly and asked in surprise:

"When did you buy it?"

Just now, I passed by the shop selling osmanthus cake. Because there were too many customers crowded inside, Hua Wu Ke didn't open his mouth even though he wanted to eat it.

As a result, Ye Buhuo actually bought it.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke as happy as a little girl who got candy, Ye Bu Huo teased:

"I see someone's eyes are about to fall into that shop. If I don't buy it for him, what should I do if someone uses a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to lure my little girl away?"

She glared at him with a blushing face:

"Whose eyeballs fell in there? I'm just curious why his business is so good."

Oh? I didn't refute that it was my little girl.

Ye Buhuo expressed his satisfaction.

"Hey! Isn't this Hua Wu Ke? You still have the leisure to play here? You are really a good-for-nothing idiot.

You don't even take the college entrance examination seriously. Don't embarrass the General's Mansion by coming last. Hahahaha!"

A voice suddenly interrupted. It turned out to be Wu Qi, the second son of Shangshu Wu.

Hearing what he said, the young men standing with him looked at Hua Wu Ke with contempt and laughed at him.

Wu Qi was still laughing when Xia Ming, the illegitimate son of the Minister of Works, interrupted:

“Wu Qi, don’t laugh at her. Who knows, she might be your future sister-in-law. Hahahahaha!”

"What nonsense are you talking about! My brother would never like such a fool. If she hadn't always shamelessly approached my brother, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to her."

Wu Qi retorted very rudely.

Wu Qi's elder brother is Wu Ze, the eldest son of Shangshu Wu. He follows his father and now also works in the Ministry of Personnel.

Wu Ze was a scholar. During a spring day trip on the lake, he ran into Hua Fuying sitting in a painted boat.

The beauty sat by the window, her pink and white clothes looked like peach blossoms falling on the snow. The breeze blew a strand of hair across her beautiful face and also across Wu Ze's heart.

In subsequent contacts, he was attracted by Hua Fuying's talent, and then learned that she was "bullied" in the Hua family.

Wu Ze was completely conquered by such a proud yet troubled flower.

Although my father looked down on her status as a concubine's daughter and a second wife, he often took the initiative to invite Hua Fuying to go out with him.

Hua Fuying always pulled Hua Wuke to accompany her on the grounds that being alone with a man and a woman would cause people to talk about it.

When she arrived in front of Wu Ze, she did not explain clearly, and made it seem as if Hua Wu Ke had come along relying on her status as the eldest daughter of the eldest son.

Over time, Hua Wu Ke became infatuated with Wu Ze.

In order to avoid rumors, Hua Wu Ke seldom attended various activities and became more and more isolated. Gradually, he could only hear the "news" coming from the second room.

How could we tolerate someone insulting Hua Wu Ke like this and putting her together with others?

Ye Buhuo was just signaling to Ye Yi when he felt Hua Wuke pulling his hand.

"In the past, my elder sister and Master Wu were just hiding their relationship from others. Don't you know what the relationship between your brother and Hua Fuying is?

Since you know the answer, why don’t you just explain it to everyone?

Do you look down on my elder sister's status as a concubine and don't want her to marry into your family?"

"Or does your brother not have that intention at all and is just trying to amuse people?"

Wu Qi didn't know how to refute her.

Let's admit that this happened. Hua Fuying and Wu Ze allowed Hua Wuke to be slandered for the sake of their own reputation.

Even if you don't admit it, civil servants care about their reputation the most. If word gets out that Wu Ze played with women's feelings, his career will be over.

Wu Qi could only speak harshly:

"Hua Wu Ke, stop worrying about others and take care of yourself. How can you get married when you are so useless?

You have reached the age of marriage, and as far as I know, no one has gone to the Hua family to propose to you yet, otherwise I will be kind and reluctantly marry you as my concubine, hahahahaha."

Wu Qi was still rampant, but Ye Yi kicked him to the ground and stepped on his back, making him lie prone on the ground unable to move.

"Do you think you can covet my people?"
