Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Fengxi Palace.Empress Mu twisted a string of purple jade beads in her hands, and murmured Amitabha.

Compared with Concubine Lan's delicate and charming appearance, her appearance is much duller. In her early thirties, some wrinkles can already be seen at the corners of her eyes.His eyebrows are gentle, like a bodhisattva who is sympathetic to the world.But in this harem, there has never been anyone who is truly sympathetic.

"Chen'er has been very concerned about You'er recently."

Gu Chen only took a sip of his tea, and said: "It's just a little bit of effort. When Li Fei was alive, she treated her mother and queen like her own sisters. Now that she's gone, my son will take care of Xiaowu for her. It's an explanation."

The queen frowned slightly, and said: "Since that's the case, why did you lie at the Mid-Autumn Festival that day? You knew who the person who pushed You'er into Mufang River was, but you deliberately concealed it. Could it be that you wanted to cover up the criminal?"

"The queen mother really knows everything."

Empress Mu closed her eyes slightly, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said, "I am the lord of the harem, so there is no reason why I don't understand the things under my nose."

Gu Chen put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "Dare to ask the mother, what is the benefit of telling this matter. Of course, the father will deal with Gu Xian, but he has always loved the third child, and he will inevitably feel distressed afterwards. When he gets angry, the one who will suffer is still Xiao Wu, why don't you use this matter to let Xiao Wu come into the eyes of the father, as long as the father starts to pay attention to him, he will not be bullied again in the future, wouldn't it be the best policy."

"He has come into His Majesty's eyes, but what about you? Chen'er, your relationship with your royal father is not deep. This move is tantamount to pushing your father away. His Majesty used to love the third child very much. The people in the family always like to make irresponsible remarks, saying that His Majesty intends to abolish the reserve. Now there is another You'er, you, the prince, are actually in name only, even if you don't feel wronged, the queen mother will also be wronged for you." The eye sockets are flushed.

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "Mother, don't worry, the son is about to be appointed, and no one can take it away."

After leaving Fengxi Palace, it was getting late.

Gu Chen stepped into the thick night, and at some point in his hand there was a dark brown scroll, which he carefully put into his sleeve, and asked, "How is he today."

Someone in the shadows replied in a low voice: "Young master used to hate drinking medicine, but now there is a sugar cube made by a cook surnamed Yao. I don't reject it, and I personally met Yao Zhen. The subordinates looked at it, and the young master seemed to like it a little bit." The cook's."

Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Although he didn't like Yao Zhen taking too much weight in Song Li's heart, but considering the sincerity that the cook had treated Ah Li in his previous life, he could still tolerate him staying in Ye Mansion.

He lifted his steps and went to the East Palace.

In fact, he didn't intend to let Ye Chonghui enter the palace. He also knew that the Ye family was reluctant to part with Ah Jin, and deliberately made things difficult for Ye Yanbai, just to remind the old fox that the so-called being alone is just a dream.In this imperial city, everyone has to choose a big tree to enjoy the shade. If Ye Yanbai is smart enough, he should know which tree is suitable for him.

========

Prime Minister Ye hid from Gu Chen for half a month, but when he saw the beginning of September, he couldn't hide anymore.

After the morning court, he hesitated, and finally went to the study.Several highnesses are still waiting for him to teach. Of course, no one will blame him for being late, but those arrogant princes, who knows if they will remember it in their hearts and take revenge on him in the future.

He dare not say it to others, but for a young and mature boy like Gu Chen, if anyone offends him, he will probably be hated for the rest of his life.

Turning around the corridor, I suddenly ran into a boy in his early ten years old, wearing a light blue brocade shirt with water patterns, with a book scent in his eyes.Ye Yanbai recognized this child as Mo Huaixuan who was also known as a genius like his eldest son Chonghui.

People outside often say that this Mo Huaixuan was conceived in the wrong birth. A person like him should have been born in a Wenqu star family like the Ye family, not a ridiculous mansion like the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Ye Yanbai has also heard about the absurd deeds of Duke Yue and his wife. Not long ago, they got into a fight because of a singer, and even made trouble in front of the Empress Dowager.Mrs. Guogong is the niece of the queen mother, and Yue Guogong is the queen of meritorious service.

With such a father and aunt, it's not hard to imagine how difficult it would be for Mo Huaixuan as a concubine.Although Ye Yanbai felt pity for him, it was just that he couldn't get involved in other people's family affairs, so there was nothing he could do to help.

Mo Huaixuan also saw him, bowed and saluted, and said hello: "Ye Xianghao."

Prime Minister Ye rarely softened his face, and said, "Morning nephew Mo Xian, are you going to the study?"

Mo Huaixuan nodded, and said: "Thanks to the prince for not giving up, from now on, Huaixuan will be the prince's companion to study, and listen to the gentlemen's lectures in the upper study."

Mo Huaixuan's answer was neither humble nor overbearing, clear and clear, but Ye Yanbai suspected that he had heard it wrong, or that the child was lying to him—he became the prince's companion, so wouldn't his Jia Hui'er...

"Nephew Mo Xian, Uncle Ye has something to ask you. Please answer it honestly. This matter... is His Majesty the one who made the decision, or His Highness the Crown Prince asked for you."

Surprise flashed across Mo Huaixuan's eyes, he paused, and said politely: "Huaixuan heard that His Highness the Crown Prince requested it on his own initiative, but there is nothing wrong with it."

Ye Yanbai waved his hands and said, "No problem, no problem."

Thinking about the prince's words and deeds on the day of the Mid-Autumn Banquet, Ye Yanbai was struck by five thunderbolts. Could it be that His Royal Highness had planned to take Mo Huaixuan a long time ago, but deliberately tested him with his two sons...in order to beat him and force him to see the truth of the court? The situation, let him make plans early.

But... does an eight-year-old really have such a scheme?

Ye Yanbai broke out in a cold sweat, Mo Huaixuan saw that his expression was not right, and asked, "Is Ye Xiang not feeling well?"

Ye Yanbai shook his head, and said seriously: "Nephew Mo Xian, it's not good to keep your highnesses waiting for a long time, so let's go to the study with Uncle Ye." .

========

Ye Fu.Funing Courtyard was peaceful.

Ye Chongjin was lying on the red nanmu carved arhat bed, lazily looking at the child beside him.Since entering the door, Lu Ziyan has done nothing but eat. Could it be that his uncle can starve him.

Nanny An poured a glass of water, handed it to the child, and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Ye Chongjin was even more displeased. Nanny An used to be so gentle with him, but today she became partial.

However, this Lu Ziyan does have a bit of eccentric capital. Although he is also three years old, a healthy child is always different from a baby who grew up in a medicine jar. Dudu looks like a dough ball, her face has not yet opened, her pair of watery black eyes make her skin whiter than snow, even Ye Chongjin wants to pinch it to try the texture after seeing it.

Lu Ziyan drank some water, took a piece of cake and handed it to Ye Chongjin, and said, "Why don't you eat it, this is delicious."

Ye Chongjin thought, this is made by my cook, so I don't know if it tastes good or not.

"Aren't you full at home?" He asked innocently.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziyan nodded heavily, and said: "My uncle won't let me eat sweets, because he said it would damage my teeth." As he spoke, he took another bite of the sesame candy in his hand.

His personal maid, Xi Dong, interjected, "That's because the master ate candy as a meal a few days ago, and later cried and complained of a toothache. Master Hou issued the ban. It's not easy to talk nonsense."

Lu Ziyan pretended not to hear, and said to Ye Chongjin, "I really envy you, you have endless desserts."

The corner of Ye Chongjin's mouth twitched, and he said, "You can pack it and bring it back to your house."

Lu Ziyan was about to say yes, but then he thought about it, if his uncle found out, he might be punished again, so he shook his head: "No, no, that's embarrassing."

He just said the words, Xidong beside him burst out laughing again, but he didn't take down his stage.

Ye Chongjin thought to himself, when you return home, I'll send someone a box of snacks, and tell your uncle what you did today, to see if you're sorry.

Thinking of this, he smiled even more harmlessly, and handed a plate of pastries to Lu Ziyan, and sat aside to look through the picture album.

"Ah Jin, let's see what brother brought you." Ye Chonghui stepped into the house.

Hearing Ye Chonghui's voice, the little baby's face changed. His brother likes to find some delicious and fun things for him, but today there is a greedy guest in the house, and he doesn't want it to go into other people's stomachs.

Ye Chongjin crawled off the Arhat bed with a grunt. Before he could put on his shoes, he ran to the outside with his bare feet, pushed the person out, and said, "Go back, come back later."

Ye Chonghui directly picked up the little milk baby, hugged him on his lap, wiped his dusty soles with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Where is the little lunatic, my brother doesn't even recognize him."
