After staying in the Ministry of Industry for another half a day, it was getting late, Yueli hadn't drunk the wine brewed by Jiuxiangju for a long time, and planned to go to Jiuxiangju to buy two bottles of wine before going back to the palace, but halfway Met An Ran who was sending Xia Yiyan home, An Ran recognized the carriage in the palace, guessed that Yueli was sitting in the carriage, and got out of her carriage to greet Yueli, Xia Yiyan heard that the carriage was sitting in the carriage. It was Yue Li who got out of the car after An Ran.

Yue Li lifted the curtain of the car, looked at An Ran and said with a smile, "Where did you come back from?"

An Ran said: "I went to the temple on the outskirts of the city with Mr. Xia to offer incense today. I saw the scenery in the outskirts is good, and I played for half a day. Is the master going back to the palace?"

Yueli nodded and said: "It's getting late, you should go back to your residence earlier after sending Mr. Xia back, don't stay outside."

An Ran nodded in response.

After saying that Yueli was about to put down the car curtain, Xia Yiyan, who had been silent after the ceremony just now, suddenly called out, "Thank you, sir."

Yueli looked at Xia Yiyan.

Xia Yiyan asked: "Do you know where the second princess is now?"

Yueli didn't answer, and looked at Xia Yiyan without any emotion. Xia Yiyan's tightly clenched hands showed a trace of tension, but he still looked at Yueli firmly.

An Ran didn't know that Xia Yiyan would suddenly ask the master this question. What happened between the master and Feng Liushang was very complicated, but all the officials in the capital believed that the master was close to Feng Liushang at the order of the imperial sister, in order to get rid of Zhou. Xia Lanfeng probably said the same to Xia Yiyan about the scheme set up by the forces. Xia Yiyan asked the master like this, with the intention of questioning him. friends, but the master's actions are equivalent to betraying Merry Chan.

Seeing Yueli examining Xia Yiyan without saying a word, Anran was about to explain something, but Yueli waved his hand to stop her.

Yueli said to Xia Yiyan with a smile on his face: "The second princess is in the grassland now, and she lives very well there, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Xia Yiyan pursed his lips tightly and shook his head.

Yue Li smiled and said to An Ran: "Send Mr. Xia back." An Ran nodded, Yue Li put down the curtain of the carriage, and the servant hurriedly got up the carriage.

Seeing the carriage going far away, An Ran said to Xia Yiyan: "The master didn't approach the Second Sister Huang at the order of her, it was a grievance between the two of them. I think that the Second Sister never blamed the master. ."

The meaning of An Ran's words is also to let Xia Yiyan not misunderstand the past and blame the master, but it also involves the private affairs between the master and Feng Liushang, which is really inconvenient to say.

Xia Yiyan also heard the meaning of An Ran, and nodded, but his expression was still hard to let go.

Yueli went back to the palace, Feng Qiyue was hugging Wuyou and coaxing her to sleep, when she saw Yueli came back and handed Wuyou to the grandma, Wuyou was already sleepy, when she saw Yueli, she babbled twice at the grandpa Falling asleep in her arms, Yueli whispered to order grandma to hug Wuyou down.

Yue Li shook the wine in his hand at Feng Qiyue and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've had a drink, let's have a drink together?"

Feng Qiyue was naturally very happy.

The two of them were not in the room, but found a gazebo. At this time, the cool breeze was blowing, and it was very pleasant to blow people. Even the atmosphere between Yueli and Feng Qiyue seemed relaxed and harmonious.

But as soon as Yueli opened her mouth, this illusion was broken, she said: "Feng Qiyue, what did you plan to use the meteorite for?"

Feng Qiyue paused before saying: "Every Phoenix Emperor in Fengxiang has his own Phoenix Guard, which is the most secret force of the Phoenix Emperor. The number of Phoenix Guards is small, and each has their own strengths. They are placed everywhere in order to better control Fengxiang. I used it, I wanted to use meteorite to make weapons for them."

Now, the members of Feng Qiyue Feng Guards have already been known by Yue Li to be Feng Yi, Feng San, and Feng Qi, but Yue Li has not found the rest, Yue Li said: "Then when do you plan to mine meteorites?" iron ore?"

Feng Qiyue said: "This is not important anymore."

Yueli raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? How about leaving the Meteorite Mine to Wolong Village?"

Feng Qiyue said: "I will give you whatever you want, this is not a joke."

Yue Li smiled, Feng Qiyue's bet with her that day seemed to be her advantage, maybe it was because Feng Qiyue was too confident and determined that she could control the overall situation, the so-called letting Yueli do whatever she wanted was more like It was to make Yueli let go of her defenses, and Feng Qiyue could take the initiative again at any time.

Unfortunately, Feng Qiyue didn't want to lose, but she was destined to win.

Chapter 66 Next Steps

On the morning of the second day, all the officials were amazed. Lord Xie, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came to the morning court. Originally, because they knew that Lord Xie was His Majesty's confidant and the teacher of the new Empress Dowager, everyone had good intentions towards Yue Li. However, the recent rumor in the court that Mrs. Xie is His Majesty's favourite, caused everyone to respect her at a distance, so today, apart from Jimo and Wang Qing, no one talked to Yueli anymore.

The humble officials of Fang Xiang's faction used to treat Yue Li indifferently, but now they look at Yue Li with contempt, because they know the relationship between Yue Li and Feng Qiyue clearly from Fang Xiang , unlike the gentry officials who just see the flowers in the fog.

After the officials played the book, and no one had anything to do, Yue Lifang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I mentioned some time ago that the reconstruction of the Wolong village into a Shigu hall has been completed. I would like to invite your Majesty Personally put up a plaque for the Shigu Hall."

Feng Qiyue said: "Sure."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Thank you, Yueli was about to stand back, when an official from a humble family stepped forward and said to Yueli: "Master Xie, I don't understand something."

Yueli recognized this person as an official from a poor family whom Fang Jia admired, surnamed Liu, who is now serving as the left servant in the Ministry of Punishment, Yueli said: "Master Liu, please tell me."

Master Liu said: "I know that Master Xie built the first orphan hall in Yongcheng, and now Master Xie has built more than a dozen more. May I ask Sir Xie, is this orphan hall built in your name, Lord Xie?" , or was it built in the name of the court?"

On that day, Murong Bai wanted to move Yueli down, and the excuse he used was that Yueli acted to win the hearts of the people, intending to do something wrong.Now that Mr. Liu is asking this question, it reminds everyone that Yueli's move will continue to gain a good reputation among the people, and it is obviously malicious.

Yueli smiled and said: "Since the construction of the Shigu hall in Yongcheng, there have been 260 children. These children have clothing, food, housing, and transportation for a year. They have invited famous teachers to teach them how to repair flowers, and they have also been asked to operate the orphans. The stewards of the church and the workers who take care of the children have spent 1 taels of silver in the past three years, and when the children get more, they will need to spend even more."

Everyone didn't know what Mr. Xie meant by mentioning these expenses for a moment. Could it be that he wanted to show his credit?It seems that Mr. Xie wants to use his own name to build the Shigutang and continue to gain a good reputation among the people.Having said that, if the rumors between her and His Majesty are true, then with this credit, she can protect herself.

It's just that Mr. Wang turned black when he heard Yueli's words. How could it be possible to spend so much 1 taels of silver? This money can feed the people of a village for three years!Is Master Xie trying to exaggerate on purpose?Sui said: "The lower official is from a poor family, and he knows the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Is Mr. Xie's statement untrue?"

Yueli raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not true? By the way, there are some falsehoods. There is also the house that built Shigutang. It was bought for 1000 taels at the beginning, and it was renovated later. This is another 500 taels." It was inconvenient to act in the name of His Majesty before, but the 500 taels were all paid for by the official himself. The money was spent, and the Xie family's old bottom would be emptied! Now another 8 taels have been built. The sixteen orphaned halls, the sixteen orphaned halls will probably cost [-] to [-] taels of silver in the next year. Now that Mr. Wang's words have been asked here, I just want to make it clear, and this official is really a burden. I can't afford these expenses anymore." Yueli saluted Feng Qiyue again, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of your blame, I ask you to mention the plaque yourself, in fact, I intend to let the court take over the management of the Shigutang, and the Gutang will go to the end Everyone will know how much it will cost, but I still want to leave a few acres of land for the Xie family."
