After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite

When Wen Yao heard that Ye Chu was coming, he put down his work, went to the front of the hall, and went up to the second floor.

He knew exactly which room Shun'an would take people to, he knew the door and passed by, and he saw Li Quan and Zhou Li guarding the door from a distance.

The moment Wen Yao appeared, the smile on Li Quan's face didn't stop. He walked up to him with a few steps. Wen Yao's steps were neither too fast nor too slow as before. you."

"How long have you been waiting?" Wen Yao carefully asked.

Li Quan replied with a smile: "Soon, there will be no more than half a stick of incense."

Wen Yao knew it in his heart, he nodded, thanked him in a low voice, and pushed open the door.Indoors, Ye Chu was sitting in front of the round table, with one hand resting casually on the desk and the other on the hand stove, twisting the hollow gold-patterned hand stove seemingly without a trace, his thin lips were pursed into a line, his face was resolute, and his face was as expressionless as ever , his eyes were dark and deep, when he looked at Wen Yao, there was a touch of softness and less harshness, making him look more handsome than before.

If this appearance is looked at by other women, it will not attract the envious eyes of many girls.

"Here we are." Wen Yao was about to speak, but Ye Chu spoke out one step ahead of him, as if seeing Wen Yao's embarrassment, Ye Chu kindly found a step for him.

Wen Yao hummed well, and stood in the middle of the room. Ye Chu waited for a while, but when she didn't see her coming, he waved to him, "Come here."

How dare Wen Yao not listen to the emperor's words, he moved over slowly, Ye Chu took his small movements into his eyes, his eyes were dim, Wen Yao never noticed the strange behavior of the emperor.

At this time, I was thinking about the theme activities of Minshifu in five days.

Seeing him distracted, Ye Chu's eyes darkened, and without thinking, he grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms. Wen Yao was shocked, and when he recovered, he realized that he was sitting on the man's lap, and his ears twitched slightly. Red, he moved his body, there was a slight pain in his buttocks immediately, and there was another "pop", Wen Yao's ears turned red with shame.

The man hit him there!

Even though he is a woman in the eyes of Li Quan and others now, he is still a man in essence. He sits on a man's lap and gets spanked. What kind of words come out? He struggles to get up, and the sound of a man With a deep magnetic voice, "Still moving around?"

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment, and immediately didn't dare to move easily. The man's big palm moved from the table to his body, slowly held his waist, and said in a low and gentle voice, "It's almost time to go back."

Wen Yao was shocked all over, and only then remembered his identity, as if he hadn't returned to the palace for almost a month, and spent most of his energy on the restaurant during these days, thinking that he could live like this for the rest of his life, but obviously Can't.

Seeing that he was not happy, Ye Chu immediately softened his heart, but Wen Yao could not go back to the palace, worried that the Meng family would find out about Wen Yao's trouble secretly.

In order to protect Wen Yao, he had no choice but to choose this method. More and more ministers turned their backs on the court. Meng Jiangcang's heart was not satisfied, and he extended his hand to the local officials.

I even want to make a fuss about Chunwei.

Thinking of this, Ye Chu sighed secretly, took a step back and said, "I'll give you another seven days, and you must return to the palace after seven days."

Wen Yao smiled happily, and made a serious promise, "Don't worry, I will go back on time when the time comes, and to thank you for your support, I will take 500 taels for disaster relief this time."

Ordinary people would dare to talk to the emperor like that, Wen Yao not only said it, but also made Ye Chu laugh with an expression of waiting to be praised.

He wiped Wen Yao's face with a cheerful tone, "Are you planning to raise me?"

Wen Yao was startled, turned his bright eyes, and said with a teasing smile: "Your master is the richest man in Dachen. I don't have this ability, so please don't make fun of me."

"I don't have any money. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Quan." Ye Chu hugged his willow waist, and whispered in Wen Yao's ear, "Isn't concubine Ai not aware that the treasury is empty?"

"I really don't know." Wen Yao pushed the person away and sat aside by himself, but he didn't dare to stay too far away from Ye Chu.

Ye Chu was not annoyed at being pushed away, the corners of his lips curled up, and he joked: "Isn't Aifei wanting to adopt me, now I know, this is a good opportunity, I don't mind letting Aifei pick it up."

Wen Yao complained in his heart, he minded very much, minded very much!

For such rebellious words, at most he dared to protest in his heart, but smiled on his face, "Don't be joking, you are not ignorant of Wen Yao's situation. Now I have no contact with my parents, and there is nothing at home. I am a woman who can make the decision, I finally pretended to be a man and opened a restaurant, this is just the beginning, how can I get money to support my master."

"Besides, I'm not just a girl who can help with the southward trip, so the 500 taels is just a modest effort."

Ye Chu looked at his face, and smiled helplessly in his heart. On his face, he pretended to be crazy, and smiled with his lips pursed for a moment.

"It's nice to have this kind of heart."

Wen Yao smiled slyly, and said in his heart that he did not expect the emperor to be on the right track.

For a while, the two were relatively silent, and Wen Yao had nothing to say: "Has the flood in the south been resolved?"

Ye Chu shook his head slightly, Wen Yao asked: "But are you in trouble?"

He didn't believe everything the emperor said that the treasury was empty.

"...It's a little tricky." Ye Chu stared at his bright and kind eyes, which were full of worry. His heart warmed up, and Wen Yao was still as kind as ever. A person can fake his face, but the emotion in his eyes cannot be faked .

"The imperial court really has no money." After a while Ye Chu said, Wen Yao was startled, did not expect that the rich Chen would have no money?

Afraid that he would not believe it, Ye Chu deliberately explained, "I received the report of the flood half a month ago, so I asked Li Quan to go to the household department to dial the money, and the secretary of the household department pleaded guilty to me, saying bluntly that the household department has no money."

"Why is there no money in the household department?" Wen Yao sat a little closer, just opposite Ye Chu, and the distance between the two of them was the size of two adult fists.

"There are several reasons, which are still under investigation."

Ye Chu didn't intend to let Wen Yao understand the dark and dirty side of the officialdom, so the reasons he gave seemed a bit general. However, Wen Yao was not so easy to fool. He imagined several reasons, the most likely being the general of the household department. The court's salary was rolled into his pocket.

However, such a large amount of money cannot be swallowed by one person alone, that is to say, many people are sharing the spoils at the same time. Not long after Ye Chu ascended the throne, there will not be too much money in Kukong and Yinliang. In addition, there has been a war before the first half of the year, and Da Chen's taxation is also the same as before. Second, there is no introduction of talents, and the development of agriculture lags behind. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and those who cannot pay taxes cannot escape by arresting young men. Moreover, the Dachen clan is severely divided, and private ownership of land is serious. Kyoto has not yet fully controlled the local government.

These are the problems alone. Wen Yao figured out what was going on after thinking for a while. He didn't know where the courage came from. He got up and walked to Ye Chu, patted him on the shoulder very heroically, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, our restaurant is very make money."

Ye Chu focused all on the word "we", and his mood became very happy.
