The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Seeing that he was angry, the servants beside him tried to comfort him:

"Prince, calm down. Now that your people have been placed in the Privy Council, why bother with a small army of the Hua family?"

A few days ago, he went out and saw a man being pushed to the ground by a group of strong men, and he fell right in front of his carriage.

Being blocked, Ye Chuji was very unhappy. Just as he was about to have someone throw him away, he heard the servant whisper:

"Your Highness, this person is Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan, Ye Chuji knew this person, a famous talent, but unfortunately he was unwilling to become a retainer of others, so he was never able to serve as an official in the court.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuji felt that this was an opportunity.

This person has nothing to do with the imperial court and is Ye Lanfeng's favorite minister. If he is allowed to enter the Privy Council, he will definitely be valued by Ye Lanfeng.

Thinking of this, he got off the carriage and helped Lin Yuan up personally.

"Is this brother okay?"

When the sturdy men saw Ye Chuji's clothes, they knew he was either rich or noble. They cursed at Lin Yuan, who was supported by him, and then ran away.

"I am fine. Thank you, Your Highness."

"Do you know Gu?"

Lin Yuan smiled politely.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Ye Country, who in the world doesn't recognize him?"

This sentence complimented Ye Chuji perfectly. He became more and more satisfied with Lin Yuan and asked why those people attacked him in the street.

"In the past, I was very self-righteous and didn't want to associate with others, nor could I earn money."

"I have been feeling unwell these past few days, so I came here to get some medicine. I wanted to use my paintings to pay for the money given to the shopkeeper, but he thought I wanted to take it for free, so I was beaten out."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan bent down and coughed a few times.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuji glanced at the servant, who understood and immediately took out a few silver ingots and put them into Lin Yuan's hands.

Lin Yuan looked at the silver in his hand, was silent for a while, and then handed the flowers in his hand to Ye Chuji.

"I am not a money-grubber. Unfortunately, I am forced by the situation. This is Lin's painstaking work. I hope Your Highness will not despise it."

Ye Chuji took it, unfolded it and looked at it, then unfolded it again.

People who are in difficult situations are most likely to give up their previous insistence and choose to associate with people who are beneficial to them, especially those who have helped them.

Ye Chuji took the opportunity to ask:

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"I didn't see the situation clearly before. Now I want to regret it but I don't know if there is anyone willing to accept Lin."

Ye Chuji immediately said:

"I have heard that you are very talented and I admire you very much. I know you don't want to be a disciple of others, so I won't force you. But I value talent, so even if you are not mine, I am willing to give you a chance."

Lin Yuan first looked at Ye Chuji in shock, then immediately knelt down.

"Thank you, Prince!"

The next day, Hua Fuying received a new list with only one name on it - Lin Yuan.

Hua Fuying burned the letter, picked up the rock sugar pear water and walked towards the study.

Wu Ze was reading documents. When he heard a knock on the door, he said "Come in" without even looking up.

It was not until a bowl of cold rock sugar pear water was brought to him that he realized the person was Hua Fuying.

Wu Ze held her hand, which was slightly cold from the rock sugar water, and asked:

"How did you come?"

"You haven't had much rest these days, so I went to the kitchen to make this sweet soup and added ice cubes. You can try it."

"Didn't I tell you not to call yourself a concubine? In my heart you are my wife, so please stop saying that word, okay?"

Every time Wu Ze heard Hua Fuying call herself a concubine, he would be reminded of the promise he had made to Hua Fuying, and he would feel guilty. So every time Hua Fuying said so, he would ask her not to say that word, but unfortunately Hua Fuying could never remember it.

In fact, Hua Fuying was not unable to remember, but she mentioned it from time to time because she knew that he felt guilty.

Just like today, in order to get the Shangshu Mansion to recommend Lin Yuan, he said this on purpose.

Hua Fuying smiled and didn't respond.

"What are you busy with? You can't even rest."

"The Privy Council is recruiting new people, so the Ministry of Personnel will naturally be busy."

Hua Fuying asked knowingly:

"No suitable candidate?"

Wu Ze shook his head in distress.

"The Emperor hopes to recruit a lone minister, but who among the talented people in the capital is not a disciple of various ministers?"

"Then Lin Yuan, isn't he the best candidate?"

After hearing this, Wu Ze thought for a long time before he remembered that there was such a person in the capital.

Having talent and not being a disciple of others is indeed the best choice.

"Ying'er is so smart! She solved my problem in one go!"

As Ye Chuji expected, when Lin Yuan's name was reported, Ye Lanfeng quickly agreed.

After the court session, Ye Chuji calculated the time and deliberately took a detour to the Privy Council, where he happened to meet Lin Yuan who was coming out.

"Congratulations, Academician Lin."

Lin Yuan knew that his appointment to the Privy Council was inseparable from Ye Chuji's support. He bowed and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will never forget your kindness!"

After hearing the answer that satisfied him, Ye Chuji smiled and nodded, then got on the sedan chair and left.

When Lin Siyu learned that Lin Yuan had become a member of the Privy Council, she was not surprised at all.

Lin Yuan was the person she brought to Ye Country. She had always instructed Lin Yuan not to join other people's sects because she was sure that the emperor hoped that the Privy Council could only be used by him, so naturally he would not let other people's disciples in.

She went out that day to inform Lin Yuan and asked him to plan to seek refuge with Ye Chuji. As long as Ye Chuji did not interfere, Lin Yuan's entry into the Privy Council would be a foregone conclusion.

These past few days, whenever Bei Su went out, he could hear people talking about the marriage between Prince An's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion. He felt annoyed and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the marriage issue had not been resolved yet.

"Master Meng, have you decided who to marry?"

Speaking of this, Meng Shi was also distressed. Originally, when he saw Bei Su wanted to marry Hua Wu Ke, he was very happy. After all, the daughter of the general of Ye Kingdom, who was also a princess, was naturally worthy of marriage.

Unfortunately, Ye Buhuo was there, so they had to give up.

"This...I really can't make up my mind."

Just as the two were frowning and thinking hard, the servant suddenly came to report:

"Your Highness, Lord Meng, the Crown Prince is here to visit."

Upon hearing this, the two of them stood up and went to the door to greet them.

"His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness."

"Your Highness, Lord Meng, I hope I am not disturbing you by visiting you today."

Bei Su led Ye Chuji in and said:

"The prince is too worried."

After entering the inner room, the three of them exchanged some pleasantries, and then Ye Buhuo stated the purpose of his trip.

"Does your Highness still remember my elder sister, Princess Jialan?"

Bei Su looked at him.

"So what if you remember? So what if you don't remember?"

Ye Chuji smiled.

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. When the royal sister goes to the Northern Kingdom, you will recognize her naturally."

Bei Su was stunned, and said in disbelief:

"Are you willing to marry the eldest princess to the Northern Kingdom as a concubine?"

The original plan of the Northern Kingdom for this marriage was to choose a noble lady from the Ye Kingdom to marry the Northern Kingdom's emperor, but Bei Su was interested in Hua Wuke, so he proposed to marry Hua Wuke in the hall.
