Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

There are few people who like to play with flowers and plants in the Xiangfu, but because the old man loves lotus nobility, the ponds in the mansion are all planted with water lilies, and the midsummer evening breeze blows, bursting with pleasant fragrance.

In the gazebo, An Shi was sitting on a stone bench with her son in her arms, softly humming the tune of picking lotus, while Ye Chongjin was already sleeping soundly with his pillow on her knee, with slightly parted lips, making a slight snoring sound.

Ye Yanbai supervised Ye Chonghui to review his homework, and hurried to find his youngest son. Unexpectedly, his baby had already gone to Zhou Gong. He wanted to hug him but was afraid of waking the child up, so he had to take advantage of the moonlight to watch his son sleep peacefully. The face relieves hunger.

Seeing her husband being stupid, An made fun of her and said, "Fortunately, Ah Jin fell asleep. If he woke up, I'm afraid the master would cry from fright."

Prime Minister Ye squeezed his son's little palm, and said, "We, Ah Jin, are so brave, we have never seen him cry except when he was born."

An Shi thought for a while, and said: "That's true, Hui'er didn't like to cry when she was young, even if she wanted to cry, she hid herself and didn't let outsiders see her. These two brothers are both stubborn, so Xu followed the master's lead. temper."

"..."

Prime Minister Ye recalled that when he was five or six years old, he was frightened into crying by a puppy, and he was still teased by several cousins, so he shut his mouth wisely.

An Shi rubbed the little curly hair on Ye Chongjin's head, and said with a smile: "Although he is more like a master in temperament, his appearance follows that of my concubine, especially Ah Jin's hair, which is the same as my concubine's when I was young. I can't straighten it, but who knows that when I get older, I become straight myself."

Ye Yanbai was very surprised: "There is such a thing."

An Shi said: "If it wasn't for the last time I went back to An's house and heard my mother mention this matter, I also forgot that I had curly hair when I was a child, and wondered that the whole family had straight hair, why would there be a little traitor named Ah Jin?"

Ye Yanbai was slightly taken aback, and said: "I forgot, a few days ago my mother-in-law sent someone to invite my wife back, but there was something important to tell."

An Shi hesitated for a moment, and said: "What mother means is that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, so why not have a reunion dinner with the two families..." Seeing Ye Yanbai's embarrassed face, she hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, don't force it. Concubine I am grateful to be able to enter the Ye family, and I dare not expect too much."

Ye Yanbai held her hand, with guilt on his face: "Ma'am, I have wronged you all these years. In fact, my father is very satisfied with Madam. It's just that his eyes are covered by the past, and he can't let it go for a while. Give him some more time." good."

An's smiled gently, nodded and said: "I understand."

The Ye family is a Confucianist family in the world, and they were very famous in the previous dynasty, and their students were all over the world.After the first emperor ascended the throne, he did everything he could to win over the Ye family, but unfortunately, the Ye family members were too high-spirited and refused to become an official.Old Mrs. Ye owed a great kindness to the late emperor back then, so he had no choice but to enter the officialdom, but in just over ten years, this branch has already become the prime minister, which shows the greatness of Long En.

As for the kindness owed, it has something to do with An's family.

The An family is also a famous family, but it is far from the good reputation of the Ye family. Taishi An was a former court official. Later, seeing the decay of the court, he voluntarily surrendered to the first emperor and was able to preserve the family's reputation. However, his family did not live up to it. After ascending the throne, instead of refraining from their previous style, they even killed a scholar who was rushing for the exam in a restaurant.

It would be easy for ordinary people to deal with, but this scholar is no one else, he is the favorite student of Mr. Ye, who is known as Mr. Hongwen in the world.

His beloved disciple died unexpectedly, so the old man Ye couldn't sit idly by. He brought a love letter and traveled all the way from Jinzhou to Beijing to sue the imperial court, but was obstructed by Taishi An's minions in every possible way, and he almost died on the way, and was rescued by the late emperor's men and severely punished Taishi An's family.

As a thank you, Mrs. Ye promised to be the prince's tutor for a few years. The prince was thirty-two at the time, so there was no need for a teacher, it was just a name.

Later, the crown prince came to the throne, and he became the current Emperor Qingzong. He often told people that he was a direct disciple of Mr. Hongwen. With this relationship, scholars all over the world respected the imperial court even more.

But the An family was relegated by the emperor, and they haven't gotten up for more than ten years. Now they are just ordinary third-rank officials in the capital. The An family is the granddaughter of Taishi An. Now Taishi An has passed away for a long time, but the old master Ye still hates the An family. Incessantly, he didn't even look good towards his daughter-in-law.

Thinking about the past, An Shi can only feel that God's will tricks people. At the Danqing feast in the capital that year, she and Ye Yanbai guessed the lantern charade at the same time. Their eyes met each other. She wore a veil, only showing a pair of eyes, but this man Like losing his soul, he looked at her stupidly, and even followed her all the way.

Unknowingly, she has changed from an ignorant girl in the boudoir to the mother of two children, but this man seems to have not changed, handsome as before.

She curled her lips and said, "Master, let's rest earlier, don't forget that tomorrow is the first day of the new year."

Ye Yanbai sighed when he heard the word "first day of junior high school". At the beginning of each month, he would go to the study to give lectures to the princes.

"Why are you sighing? Didn't the master say last time that the crown prince is extremely alert and malleable?"

"The prince is indeed very clever, and he will become a great weapon in the future, but... well, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything." He stood up, took Ye Chongjin into his arms, and said, "I'll take Ah Jin back to her room, Fei Cui, to my wife." Go back to the room, the road is not easy to walk at night, so be careful."

The lights in Funing Courtyard were brightly lit. Madam An was waiting in front of the gate early in the day. There were many mosquitoes in summer. She stamped her feet while shaking her fan.

Ye Yanbai shook his head, sent the child directly to the bed, stared at Ye Chongjin's face for a while, and then reluctantly left.

When the people left, Ye Chongjin, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyes, looking at the dark night, complexities flashed in his eyes.

Now it is the sixth year of Emperor Qingzong's reign, that man is already the crown prince, but he is not Song Li anymore.

Song Li had a hard time when he was a child, there was no rice for cooking at home, and it happened that the palace was short of manpower, so he made up the numbers and was sent to the palace.He is a person who has really lived a hard life, so he cherishes the good life more and more.

When I met Gu Chen, he was only seven or eight years old, and he had entered the palace for less than a year.

I heard from the old people that you have to lower your head when you see everyone in the palace, especially you can't look up at the master's face, otherwise it will be disrespectful and your head will be lost.He didn't know what disrespect was, and he didn't know why the nobles didn't like to be seen, but he knew that losing his head would kill him, and he didn't want to die, so he obediently obeyed.

But those people didn't tell him that walking with your head down is more likely to cause trouble, because if you accidentally bump into a nobleman, the most terrifying thing is that you don't know that you bumped into a nobleman.

The boy who was only six years old frowned, his brows looked like royalty, and he shouted: "You are so brave."

Song Li glanced at the simple clothes on his body, squatted in front of the boy, grinned and said, "Does it hurt from the fall, do you want my brother to rub it for you?"

The boy blushed, gritted his teeth and said, "You are just a little eunuch, and you dare to say that you are my brother! Do you know..."

Song Li was in a hurry to go back to work and didn't want to continue entanglement with him, so he stretched out his hand to pull up the child sitting on the ground, greeted his fleshy buttocks twice, and said indifferently: "Okay, I rubbed it for you. I don't owe you anything."

He clapped his hands and was about to leave, but who knew that the child would not let go, and grabbed his clothes from behind, Song Li pulled hard, but the other party was weaker than him, and fell to the ground with another buttock, Song Li felt that he looked really cute Stupid, couldn't help squatting beside him and laughing at him.

"Which palace servant are you? Why are you so useless? You won't even be able to eat dinner under my master's hands."

At this time, the patrolling guards passed by, and they were terrified when they saw this. They all knelt down and bowed to the ground, saying: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

So Song Li knew that this child turned out to be the emperor's son, the future emperor of Daegu, and someone who could move his head with a single sentence.

He knelt down anxiously, and was taken back to the East Palace together.

The East Palace is the place where the princes of the past dynasties lived. Its luxury and luxury are beyond Song Li's imagination. It seems that even the floor tiles are wished to be made of gold, and the brilliance of jewels can be seen on the walls. Even the clothes of the maids are similar to those he has seen elsewhere. The pink skirt is decorated with pearl embroidered shoes, and the demeanor is graceful, indescribably exquisite and beautiful, even the eldest aunt in the Shangyifang may not be able to match it.

Song Li seemed to have entered the Heavenly Palace. He has been in the palace for a year, but he is only a low-level servant. He has not seen any real nobles in this palace. The only Xu Cairen he has seen is not favored. It's deserted, as if no one will find out even if he dies.

He thought to himself, Master really didn't lie to him, the palace is too big, some people and some places maybe he won't be able to see them all his life, but there are benefits if he can't see them, it's better to live peacefully than anything else.

Song Li felt that his little life was about to be entrusted to this Immortal Palace.

The little prince had already changed into his fine clothes, and was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak. He hooked his fingers at him with a stern face, and Song Li walked forward with small steps, but he didn't dare to raise his head.The child came up to him, stared at his face for a long time, felt that it wasn't enough, and stretched out his hand to pinch his cheeks, he looked a little happy.

Song Li was panicking in his heart, the child pulled him directly onto the bed, yelling: "You can hit Gu's butt, four times, Gu remembers it clearly, and I will give it back ten times!"

Song Li didn't dare to resist, so he just pressed him on the bed and slapped his butt, which didn't hurt or itch, as if it was just for fun.

……

Ye Chongjin turned over and looked out the window with clear eyes.

That man was very good at holding grudges since he was a child. At first, he was like a pampered poodle, barking and not biting; when he grew up, he was like a wolf.
