Bai Yueguang's substitute only wants salted fish

"You don't marry a wife because of Qi Wenyao, right?"

When the emperor spoke like this, Qi Wenyao could foresee the answer he would hear next.

Fu Yichen is so cautious, even his usual emotions are perfectly controlled and not leaked out, how could he confess his feelings?In the past, he would use Qin Luoxiao as a cover, but now that it doesn't work, he will use a more grandiose reason.

That courtier said very well just now, it is better to fix the messy status quo first.For a ready-made good reason, Fu Yichen doesn't need to think about it at all, just use it directly.

Qi Wenyao understands this truth, but it feels strange to think that Fu Yichen will deny it.

Yes, everything is extenuating.Fu Yichen did this for his own benefit, and he didn't want him to face the danger of being in the limelight, so he could also enjoy the benefits and not get involved in the fight.However, he still felt a tinge of regret.As a result, their relationship has become a bit shady, and what they will face in the future is another dark "underground love".

Qi Wenyao sighed, waiting for Fu Yichen to say the word "no" that made him uncomfortable.

"Yes." Fu Yichen admitted, "I only have Qi Wenyao in my heart."

The minister was stunned, and the emperor was even more stunned.

"If you like it, you have to marry a wife!" The emperor patted the table and ordered angrily, "Lin'er is also very manly, why don't you marry a wife honestly?"

Lin'er is the third prince.The third prince liked men, but he married his wife early in order to please the emperor.However, that wife was very young, and the third prince had a thorn in his heart. After getting married, he respected each other like a guest, and he didn't say as much with his wife as his co-planning father-in-law.

The only thing the third prince did to his wife was to write a letter of divorce when he found out that the person he accidentally let go was the leader of the rebel army and realized that he was about to lose power.The father-in-law immediately disregarded the relationship and returned home, and left the imperial capital with his family to save his life.

Qi Wenyao didn't know this.He used his memory reading skills to see the emperor and Fu Yichen talking, and he couldn't open two interfaces like a computer.When he heard that the third prince married his wife, his first reaction was that the previous favored son had compromised, what would happen to the favored Fu Yichen now?

Qi Wenyao has his own bottom line.Just because he can't let go of Fu Yichen doesn't mean he can accept anything.Reconciliation means having fun in time, when Fu Yichen marries his wife, he will leave, at worst it will take a lifetime to forget.

Fu Yichen was not as embarrassed as he thought, he chuckled, "Father, Brother Sanhuang has never made great achievements."

The emperor was furious, pointing at Fu Yichen and yelling, "Presumptuous! Only small achievements can lead to lawlessness, how can I rest assured that you will be the crown prince! Someone, bring back the canonized imperial decree..."

Fu Yichen remained silent, and others helped to speak, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Father, don't worry." The eldest princess spoke unhurriedly, "What should I do if I lose my temper?"

The emperor couldn't stop coughing, but he didn't dare to accept the ginseng tea handed by the eldest princess.

The eldest princess did not force herself, she put down her teacup to help the emperor to be more comfortable, and used her words to build a step for Fu Yichen, "Chen'er, my father lost his son and old friend in a day, and I feel very sad. Why are you so unhappy?" Sensible? Hurry up and apologize to the father."

Saying a word, the emperor was even more angry.

The son is the former prince, who is the old friend?The emperor's confidantes who were robbed of important positions.

The eldest princess and Fu Yichen made a prompt decision, and took the opportunity of eradicating the treasonous criminals to exchange blood for the courtiers in the power center.The emperor didn't want them to change, but there was nothing he could do: the eldest princess had power all over the court, and she stood with General Cen on Fu Yichen's side.The loyal General Liu was also heartbroken by the emperor's suspicion. Thinking about the fate of other heroes who died tragically, he began to think for himself.

The emperor regretted his previous connivance.Over the years, the eldest princess has often intervened in political affairs relying on her status as the third prince's sister.The emperor is not in good health, and sometimes he really needs help.He thought that it was safe for him not to delegate power to the prince, and he never fortified his talented daughter who could not be the emperor.

I never thought that the eldest princess is not a caring daughter, and she has been planning for a long time quietly.What she lacked was a reputation to convince the world and the support of more troops. Fu Yichen happened to appear, with the title of prince who could be the crown prince, and with the backing of the two generals Cen and Liu, he filled the vacancy well.

Fu Yichen suddenly returned to the imperial capital, the eldest princess cooperated internally and externally, and General Cen assisted with troops... They were here to rescue him on the surface, but in fact they came to cut him off.

The emperor patronizes Prince Qi, but unexpectedly his biggest enemy is already lurking beside him.

The eldest princess still smiled gently at her father's reproachful gaze.

"My son made a slip of the tongue," Fu Yichen lost control as soon as he talked about Qi Wenyao. At this moment, he understood the importance of superficial skills and gave the emperor face. "Please punish the emperor."

How can the emperor punish him?As soon as he spoke, the minister objected, and in the middle of the stalemate, the eldest princess came to act as a peacemaker, so nothing happened.

"That's all." The emperor was depressed for a long time and could only pretend to be generous, "We will discuss it later."

Fu Yichen saluted and thanked him, but there was no hint of gratitude between his brows.

After that, it was time to discuss the canonization of the prince.Qi Wenyao didn't look any further, rubbing the center of his eyebrows, all he could think about was Fu Yichen's decisive "yes".

Fu Yichen admitted that his sweetheart is him.

Qi Wenyao knew that there were pros and cons, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, "Just be happy."

What the future holds depends on Fu Yichen's strength.Qi Wenyao can read the memory but can only look at the picture, the specific analysis has to rely on hearsay.Fu Yichen didn't say anything, Taifu Qi occasionally complained, but he couldn't explain the distribution of power in the court to him.He doesn't know much about how Fu Yichen gained power, and he can't speculate about the future.

Qi Wenyao struggled for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Fu Yichen's chances of winning, "Forget it, don't think about it."

He lay down and closed his eyes to relax.

Perhaps because he was relieved, Qi Wenyao fell asleep quickly.Halfway through his sleep, he opened his eyes slightly when he heard footsteps, and heard a servant from the Cen family outside the room saying "don't disturb Mr. Qi's rest".He guessed that it was time to eat, but he didn't feel hungry, so he turned over and continued to rest.

Qi Wenyao woke up again because of the movement around him.

"Huh?" The quilt was lifted and a bit of wind was brought in, he was chilled, and he hummed in confusion and dissatisfaction.

One hand wrapped him in his arms, and the body temperature attached to him warmed his cold place.

Fu Yichen said softly, wrapped him up in the quilt, "Go to sleep."

Qi Wenyao woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked, "Just came back?"

"En." Fu Yichen kept whispering in his ear as if he was afraid of scaring him, "Miss me?"

Qi Wenyao answered honestly, "Thinking about it, I saw you ranting against the emperor."

Fu Yichen chuckled, and gave him a few comforting pats, "Are you scared?"

Qi Wenyao remembered that firm "yes" again, and he was in a good mood, and he also curled his lips to coax Fu Yichen, "Who can scare me? You will be my backer."

Fu Yichen squeezed his hand suddenly, picking the ticklish place.

"Hey!" Qi Wenyao shook, and stared angrily, "OK, OK, you can scare me. I'm scared!"

"I was wrong. Does it hurt?" Fu Yichen pretended to be concerned, wanting to show him where it hurts.

Qi Wenyao struggled twice, but to no avail, he could only accept his fate.

The servants of the Cen's family didn't know how to train, so they came just in time, and hot water for bathing was prepared for them.After taking a shower, Qi Wenyao felt that his body was covered with water vapor, which made him uncomfortable. He glanced sideways at the sweet smile on the corner of Fu Yichen's mouth, and shook his head to shake the water from his hair.

He didn't get it right, but made a small drop of water on the tip of his reddened nose.

Fu Yichen smiled, leaned over and kissed, "Are you hungry?"

Qi Wenyao nodded, and Fu Yichen went to order the dishes.

One of them snoozes and the other comes home late, and they messed around for a while, perfectly missing the time for normal people to eat.The servants of Cen's mansion originally left some food, but when they ordered it, they felt that the food had been left for too long and needed to be redone, so the first thing they brought was chicken soup.

While waiting, Fu Yichen handed over a roster, "Look at it."

Qi Wenyao opened it, and looked at the two lists of names, which matched the list of enemies who killed Qin Daxia. "So many people have been caught...Wu Zhongyou is also there. Does he admit that he is the mastermind?"

"Everyone is the mastermind." Fu Yichen said blankly, "They all deserve to die for killing Master."

Qi Wenyao felt that he had said the wrong thing, nodded solemnly, "Yes."

Fu Yichen thought that he lost his appetite to eat, so he calmed down and coaxed, "Don't talk about this, let's have some soup first?"

"Yeah." Qi Wenyao didn't want to continue such a heavy topic,

He was too lazy to move under the quilt, so Fu Yichen went to serve the soup and bring it over.There is a chicken leg in the soup, which is not the same as the soft and delicious part, but the shape is still complete.Fu Yichen originally wanted to help him pick out the meat with chopsticks, so he did it, but was interrupted by his dissatisfied click.

"It's soulless." Qi Wenyao decisively snatched it over, and began to chew, "It's delicious like this."

Fu Yichen looked at his greasy fingers, no matter how much he liked him, he couldn't get rid of the cleanliness engraved in his bones, he frowned when he thought that the food might stain the bedding, and discussed with him, "Go to the dining table?"

"Okay." Qi Wenyao nodded in agreement, slowly moving over there.

Fu Yichen hugged him tightly and said in disgust, "Lazy."

Qi Wenyao is really lazy at this time, so lazy that he doesn't care about being rejected, and concentrates on drinking soup.

After the soup was finished, other meals were served.

Qi Wenyao found that his taste had changed as he ate. He hadn't eaten good food in the barracks or in the valley before, but now he tasted something good, and he didn't know how to cherish it and started to compare it with Qi's mansion.

"It's better to be my cook." Qi Wenyao sighed, "I've got my taste."

People in the Cen family have a bland taste, and they have another child to take care of.Most of the cook's dishes are light dishes, just because the guests come to add a few more famous greasy dishes.It doesn't look like a clear soup with little water, but it doesn't have the pleasure of heavy taste and high calories.Qi Mansion is different. When he found out that his young master likes to eat fried and grilled dishes, he deliberately thought of new dishes, and the tastes were all according to Qi Wenyao's preferences.

No one's dishes are as fragrant as their own.Qi Wenyao has lived in Qi Mansion for a long time, and he also has a feeling of nostalgia.

Fu Yichen glanced over, "Sick of home?"

"Well, when can I go back?"

"Cen Ziyan is going to conquer the rebel party according to the order, and the accompanying 'Qi Wenyao' should be back."

Qi Wenyao was overjoyed, "How long will it take? I pretend to be traveling, should I buy some special products?"

"Your father already guessed where you are." Fu Yichen wiped his hands while he stopped, "There's no need to hide it."

"Oh..." Qi Wenyao felt guilty: he had listened to so many instructions before going out, but he still fell into Fu Yichen's hands.Grand Tutor Qi must be very angry. How can I explain it better?

Fu Yichen saw his thoughts, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Come on, it's good if you don't make trouble for me."

He complained casually, but Fu Yichen explained seriously, "I've made arrangements. There will be people patrolling around the Qi mansion, but they won't come close to disturb you. The palace is full of people from the eldest princess, so my father can't do anything to you."

When Qi Wenyao heard it, he began to worry about the previous things, "Don't bother, I can protect myself. The Yuan Dinglin sent before is not as good as me, and his only role is to help cover the quilt. If you really want to I'm good, just say it when you encounter something, don't give me ecstasy soup."

Fu Yichen listened carefully, "Yes, I was wrong."

"You say you are wrong every time, dare to do it next time."

Fu Yichen smiled, "Indeed."

"You are really..." Qi Wenyao found that this guy was actually smiling, and he deeply felt that there is no bottom line for people to be shameless.He thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable explanation, so he simply stopped talking and continued to eat the meal that was not cooked well by the chef of the Qi family.

Fu Yichen was rarely talkative, "I still have things to do, so I can't be with you all the time."

"Understood." Qi Wenyao knew that everything would be fine if he didn't fight the prince, "I will take care of myself."

"In a few days, you can go home."

"Hmm." Qi Wenyao didn't notice Fu Yichen's hesitant tone, what he was looking at was a delicious side dish.The minced peanuts in the side dishes are especially delicious with the fragrant braised pork. It is crispy and refreshing, and you can't stop after one bite.

Fu Yichen saw that his mind was on cooking, so he asked directly, "Can I find you?"

"Huh?" Qi Wenyao turned his head and realized Fu Yichen's worried expression, "Ah, yes, in the eyes of others, I'm still on the same level as you..."

"Yeah, having a new love completely forgot about me."

Qi Wenyao heard the sour smell, and squinted, "How are your six beauties?"

"Send them away." Fu Yichen reiterated again, "I haven't touched them."

Qi Wenyao thought of the situation of the beauties, and chuckled, "Yes, you treat them like coolies."

Fu Yichen didn't let the topic go any further, "Wen Yao, if you don't want to, I will definitely not ruin your reputation."

Qi Wenyao drank the soup, feeling that the taste had faded: Yes, the timing of their reconciliation was so coincidental after Fu Yichen defeated the prince and gained power in the court.Others didn't know that he was helping secretly, they only thought that he kicked Cen Ziyan off and turned to climb higher.

Qi Wenyao was in a dilemma.He thought of the articles praised by literati, Xu Linxi, the dean of Cangsong Academy, toiled around, and his days and nights helping refugees.He worked hard, others worked hard, and it took the boss's hard work to get "Qi Wenyao" out of his status as a sycophant.

As soon as he frowned, Fu Yichen knew what he meant, "It's okay, I like private meetings over the wall."

Qi Wenyao looked over, "Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"I deserve it." Fu Yichen was very conscious, "I made you suffer so much before."

Qi Wenyao really laughed this time, "Okay, I don't want to bring up the old score, but... I have to think about the feelings of those literary and painting friends. And my father, I don't know how angry he will be."

Fu Yichen nodded to express his understanding, "Wait a little longer."

"Let's eat." Qi Wenyao picked up a piece of braised pork, "This is delicious."

Fu Yichen looked at the piece of meat, and suddenly said, "You are willing to give me a piece."

"See what you said." Qi Wenyao took another piece, "Am I such a stingy person?"

The corner of Fu Yichen's lips raised, "No."

"I'll ask the chef to make more dishes later, it doesn't matter."

"..." Fu Yichen suddenly realized that his status was not that high, so he smiled, "Thank you."

Qi Wenyao replied calmly, "You're welcome."

The next day, Qi Wenyao ate again, and found that most of the table was filled with this crispy braised pork.

"Tsk." Qi Wenyao finally understood, "He is quite stingy."

Fu Yichen was busy, and Qi Wenyao was not idle either, painting every day.

In the eyes of others, he is a "painter" who travels and paints. When he comes back halfway, he can't fail to complete a painting, right?Also, Mrs. Cen was very satisfied with his portrait last time, so she specially made another family portrait.He thought about the Cen family's food, clothing and housing these days, so of course he agreed.

He was so busy that he didn't have time to think about when Fu Yichen would come back, and unknowingly waited for the fake Qi Wenyao who came back from the trip.

Cen Ziyan didn't come back together, and was sent to the army to fight against the chaos in Jianghu. "Qi Wenyao" turned back alone, and came to send a letter from home to Cen's residence, which happened to change places with the deity, and it was easy to be honest.

Qi Wenyao wanted to thank the pretending Lu Tianyi, but he was stunned when he saw the strange face, "Your Excellency is..."

The stranger pretending to be him knew why he was surprised, and explained, "Don't worry about Lu Shaoxia, he's staying with Second Young Master."

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work." Qi Wenyao thanked him, thinking about another obsessive drama: Lu Tianyi is worried about going to accompany Cen Ziyan?It's unlikely, but Cen Ziyan might not be willing to part with Master and let Tianyi go.

"How is Yan'er in the barracks?" Mrs. Cen asked, "How are you?"

Cen Ziyan was born as a small child, and his constant illness has always worried Cen's family.Later, Cen Ziyan learned art from his teacher and healed his frail body, but because he wanted to go out secretly to see that his master was fine, he pretended to be sick, which made the whole family worry about him all day long.

"Very well, old lady, don't worry."

Mrs. Cen asked, and the general's wife as a mother also asked a few questions, and the young lady as a sister-in-law could not show weakness, and even the little nephew who was a few years old had to ask "why didn't my uncle come back".

Qi Wenyao couldn't intervene in other people's family affairs, so he waited quietly by the side.

"Young Master Qi." After the man finished speaking, he handed him a piece of paper, "Here are the places you and Second Young Master have visited and the beautiful scenery you have seen."

Qi Wenyao understood that this was a string of words, so he accepted it carefully, "I will remember it."

Then it was parting.Qi Wenyao is a distinguished guest at Cen's house, and he is willing to help with painting without disturbing others.The young and old of the Cen family were very reluctant, and prepared a bunch of gifts for him to take back.

Qi Wenyao couldn't refuse, and was a little worried looking at the pile of gifts.

"But... Dad will be very happy to see it."

After a second thought, he deliberately took the inkstone that the old lady had given him, and prepared to give it to Mrs. Qi himself.

Mrs. Qi came to pick him up at the door again, and when she saw the carriage, she took the initiative to go down the steps.

"Father!" Qi Wenyao cried happily, "I'm back!"

"Well, it's good to be back." Mrs. Qi understood where he went better than anyone else, and his complexion was not very good.

Qi Wenyao took out the gift box containing the inkstone and opened the lid, "I still remember to bring the gift."

Mrs. Qi's eyes sparkled, and she was still looking for a reason, "Is it easy to carry such a heavy thing all the way? Let me help you."

Qi Wenyao knew that the first level had passed, so he sent it out to make Mrs. Qi happy.

"Father, you asked for leave on purpose to pick me up?" Qi Wenyao came back at noon, and did not expect Grand Tutor Qi to greet him.

Taifu Qi's attention was all on the beautiful inkstone, and he replied casually, "Why are you taking leave?"

"Don't you need to go to court? There should be a lot of things recently."

"No, I was dismissed."

"Ah?" Qi Wenyao almost dropped the teacup in his hand, "Why?"

Only then did Mrs. Qi realize that she had slipped her tongue and put down the inkstone, "Don't worry, no one will deal with me. It's because too many officials have been replaced, including those who committed crimes. They have all been dismissed. I didn't Need to check again."

"Even if the corruption case doesn't need to be investigated, you shouldn't be dismissed." Qi Wenyao remembered Taifu Qi's hard work during that time, "You didn't make a mistake, why can't you continue to be an official?"

Grand Tutor Qi was still staring at the inkstone, and said casually, "If you don't do it right, you should be happy."

Qi Wenyao felt guilty, "It must be because of me..."

Taifu Qi heard the disappointment in his words, looked up, "What?"

Qi Wenyao not only apologized, but also promised, "Father, I will find a way to get you back in office."

This sentence made Mrs. Qi's eyes widen, "Why?"

Qi Wenyao also widened his eyes, "Don't you want to be one?"

"No! I want to rest at home!"

"Huh? You don't care about the common people..."

"Then I was exhausted and couldn't resign. I was finally dismissed. I'm happy."

Qi Wenyao looked at Taifu Qi's radiant look, and seized the opportunity to say, "Father, I actually..."

Grand Tutor Qi picked up his beloved new inkstone and walked happily to the study, "What do you like to do, don't bother me."

Qi Wenyao chased after him, "I haven't finished yet."

"Isn't it Fu Yichen's business? You have to tell me every time you separate and reunite. You don't bother me and I don't bother to listen!"

Qi Wenyao stopped in his tracks all of a sudden, a little dazed looking at the cheerful steps in Taifu Qi's study.

"Is this... considered a solution?"

The author has something to say: Qi Wenyao: My father agreed.

Fu Yichen: How did you persuade me?

Qi Wenyao: No persuasion, he doesn't bother to talk to me.
