Chongxi [rebirth]

Ye Yunting took Ye Wang to Wangyue Restaurant.

Wangyue Restaurant is under Chang Yu'an's name. Occasionally, when the master and apprentice come back, or if they want to send a letter to Ye Yunting, they come from Wangyue Restaurant.Now that everything about going to Beijing has settled down, he thought about sending a letter to Mr. Mr. Zhang to inform them of their going to Beijing.If there is nothing wrong with Nanyue, they will be invited to Beijing for a gathering.

The restaurant is located on Zhaole Street, which is different from the spacious and clean Zhaohe Main Street. There are many alleys and deep alleys here, where three religions and nine streams are mixed.

Ye Wan had never been here before, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and kept looking out, very surprised: "Brother, why are you so familiar with this place?"

"Do you still remember Mr. Chang?" Ye Yunting said, "Wangyue Restaurant is his property."

Ye thought about it for a while, before he remembered who Mr. Chang was. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and muttered, "Why do you know Mr. Chang so well?"

He remembers that Mr. Chang is very talented and learned, and it was because his mother teased his father to invite Kaimeng for him.And in his impression, Mr. Chang should have only taught him one.

Thinking of this, he immediately felt guilty, and waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, I won't ask."

Ye Yunting just laughed and shook his head, too? Don't mention those things in the past.

The carriage passed through an alley and stopped at the entrance of Wangyue Restaurant. Ye Yunting was about to get out of the carriage, but suddenly saw a familiar figure enter the restaurant. Ye Yunting was about to call someone, but saw the other person followed by a man in a suit A woman in a black cloak, the cloak and hat block most of the woman's appearance, only revealing a vague silhouette.

Ye Yunting's calling voice was suddenly blocked in his throat, and his expression was a little surprised.

I don't know if he misread it, but he always felt that the woman's profile was somewhat similar to the little portrait Yin Hongye gave him.

After a moment of distraction, the two of them had already gone upstairs and disappeared.

"Brother, why are you in a daze?" Ye Wan had already got out of the carriage, walked around to the window and shook his hand at him, calling him back to his senses.

Ye Yunting frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and got out of the carriage anyway.

He never knew that there was such a woman next to Mr. Chang, who covered her face with a hood, and behaved very low-key, obviously deliberately hiding her whereabouts... At this time, Mr. Chang returned to Shangjing, but no one was sent to inform him , there was an unknown woman beside him, which made him have to think more.

After turning all the thoughts in his mind, Ye Yunting decided to pretend not to know and send the letter.

The two entered the restaurant, and when the waiting hall greeted him, their expression became stagnant, and then they smiled and said: "Why is the eldest son free to come over today?"

"Bring my younger brother to taste the good wine here, and send a letter to Master?" He said, and handed the letter to the waiter.

When the waiter saw the letter, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was just a coincidence, he accepted the letter, and led the two of them upstairs to the private room.

Ye Yunting just didn't know what to do, ordered some side dishes and two jugs of wine, and had a drink with Ye Wang.

But the waiter took the letter and rushed to the backyard in a hurry.

As soon as Chang Yu'an invited the distinguished guests to sit down in the tea room, he saw the waiter hurriedly knocking on the door: "Sir, the eldest son is here!"

Both people in the tea room were startled, the woman got up suddenly, she accidentally swept the teacup off with her sleeve, and there was a crisp sound on her face, "Is Ting'er here?"

"Madam, don't panic." Chang Yu'an had to calm down a lot, opened the door to let people in, and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The waiter told them that Ye Yunting had arrived right after they arrived. He handed over the letter and said hesitantly, "It should be just a coincidence."

Chang Yu'an opened the letter, and saw that the letter was written about some major events that happened in Shangjing recently. At the end, he said that Shangjing had settled down, and invited him and Yue Changgou to come to Shangjing for a small gathering.

"It's indeed a coincidence." Chang Yu'an handed the letter to the woman, and said in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to see him?"

After a moment of panic, the woman's expression had calmed down, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said hesitantly: "Slow down, if he is doing well, why should I bother him? I came to Beizhao personally, Also? I'm just worried that King Yong'an will treat him badly after he ascends the throne, if so, it won't be too late for me to take him away at that time."

Chang Yu'an knew exactly what she was worried about, even after hearing the words? He just sighed: "Then madam, why don't you go and see him? He's on the second floor now."

The woman hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but nodded.

She has always acted decisively and never procrastinated.It was the first time for Chang Yu'an to see her struggling and hesitating like this. After thinking about the entanglement, he couldn't help but sigh, and said, "There is another private room next door to them. I will lead Madam over there."

After speaking, he asked Waitang to go to work outside, and he personally led the woman to the private room on the second floor.

***

Elegant room.

The two have already finished a jug of wine.

Ye Yunting couldn't drink enough, so he only drank two glasses, but Ye Wang felt happy today, drank more than half of it, his cheeks were already red, and he grumbled and complained: "Brother, are you going to be a queen in the future?" ?”

Without waiting for Ye Yunting to answer, he said to himself: "Nowadays people are saying that you are a man, even if you enter the palace, you will not be able to bear children, and you will ask His Majesty to accept the harem in the future." As he spoke, he became angry: "I Look at those people wanting to fart! If, let His Majesty know, they will definitely have their heads cut off."

He changed the pattern and scolded those people?

Ye Yunting listened with his chin propped up, with a smile on his face, seeing that Ye Wang was still arguing for him, he said, "You probably won't enter the palace to be a queen, right?"

Who knew that after he finished speaking, Ye Fan became even angrier immediately. He put the wine glass back on the table again, then angrily went to argue with his brother-in-law: "If you are not allowed to be queen, who else would he want to be?" Empress?" He comforted Ye Yunting drunkenly: "Don't be afraid, brother, I won't let him bully you!"

Ye Yunting pulled him back dumbfounded, and stuffed the jug to him: "No one dares to bully me."

Ye Wang took another sip while holding the flagon, and said "Oh" in a daze, obviously drunk.

It seems that the amount of alcohol is not much better than him.

But Ye Yunting turned around with the wine glass, thinking of someone who was silent, he pursed his lips and smiled.Although Li Fengqi didn't say what his plan was, he guessed it somewhat.After all, the enthronement ceremony was approaching, and Li Fengqi was so busy that he kept his feet on the ground, but he was alone.

If Li Fengqi intends to make him queen, he will definitely not be so idle.

But there is no need to elaborate on these things with Ye Fan.

The two brothers were talking here, but they didn't know that this conversation fell into the ears of Chang Yu'an and others next door.

The private room where Ye Yunting is located is the one he often uses every time he comes to Wangyue Restaurant, and the private room next door is closed to guests, and only a very small number of people will open it.

At this time, Chang Yu'an and the lady were in the private room, looking at the situation next door through a small hole in the wall.

Hearing Ye Wan's words, the lady's face was originally angry, but when she heard Ye Yunting's words again, her expression relaxed.After Ye Yunting called the waiter and helped the drunk Ye Wang to leave, she sighed: "Their relationship is very good."

Over the years, she has been getting to know this child through Chang Yu'an, knowing that he is extremely intelligent and has a more transparent mind than others.

Now there are many rumors about Princess Yongan outside, most of them are not very good, she was also very worried at first, so she left the South Vietnam affairs and took a risky trip to Beijing, thinking that if his life is not going well, she will show up , take him back to South Vietnam.

But just now after listening to Ye Yunting's words and looking at his expression, she knew that she was worrying too much.

Ye Yunting would say such words only if he trusted the other party extremely.

The woman looked bewildered and thought for a long time before she said: "Tomorrow I will set off to return to South Vietnam. For the rest, I will ask the envoys to discuss with the new emperor. Dongyi has become more and more ambitious over the years. Just taking advantage of this opportunity, we and Bei Zhao Join hands and carve up this restless hyena."

Chang Yu'an frowned: "Madam is really not going to tell Yunting the truth?"

The woman shook her head: "He has a deep relationship with the new emperor, but if he gets involved in South Vietnam, it will make his situation more awkward."

Chang Yu'an wanted to persuade her again, but the woman's expression was very determined, she waved her hand, and left first.

Seeing her lonely back, Chang Yu'an shook his head, and said something wrong in his heart, so he had no choice but to keep up.

***

But this time, when Ye Yunting helped the drunk Ye Wang to leave, he glanced at the door of the private room next door.

He clearly remembered that when he went upstairs, the private room next door was still locked, but just for a while, the lock on the door was unlocked, obviously there were guests in the private room.

He naturally knew the rules of Wangyue Restaurant, and after frowning slightly, he calmly helped Ye Xuan go downstairs.

The two got into the carriage, and the coachman drove the horse back to the Duke's mansion.But as soon as he turned around an alley, Ye Yunting stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and asked the driver to take Ye Wang back.

The coachman didn't dare to ask any questions, so he drove away.

Ye Yunting summoned the guards, turned back again, bought the family opposite Wangyue Restaurant, and temporarily hibernated on the opposite side.

I don't know why, it's obviously just a vague aspect, but he can't forget it.

The woman of unknown origin, and the private room that happened to be next door to him and suddenly opened... All kinds of abnormalities made him very difficult to ignore.

Ye Yunting stood by the window on the second floor, looking through the gap of the slanted window, he could clearly see the whole Mochiyue Restaurant in his eyes. He recalled the things related to Mr. Chang in these years, and the guesses that popped up in his mind made his heart beat faster. come faster...

***

Li Fengqi had been busy for a whole day, and it was already dark when he returned to his bedroom.

Hastily entered the inner hall, but found that there was no one inside, took a deep breath, and called Zhou Ji: "Where is the princess?"

Zhou Ji said: "The concubine left the palace during the day and has not returned yet."

Li Fengqi: "..."

He began to regret letting him go out of the palace.Look, it's only the second day, and I'm starting to stay out at night.

Wouldn't he have to stay alone in the empty room in the future?

This must not be possible.

Li Fengqi summoned the guards and asked Ye Yunting where he was.Fortunately, Ye Yunting still had a conscience. Although he didn't return home at night, he sent someone back to report the news.

Hearing from the guard that he was staying opposite Wangyue Restaurant, he thought for a moment and ordered his horses to leave the palace.

When Li Fengqi arrived, he saw Ye Yunting sitting by the window, hanging his head and writing, drawing a portrait.There are also many scrapped portraits scattered on the table, all of which are silhouettes of a woman wearing a cape and a hood.

He picked up the portrait and looked at it for a moment, then hesitated: "This is... a portrait of your biological mother?"

"Do you think so too?" Ye Yunting paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him, with some eagerness in his eyes.

Relying on his memory, he tried to restore the woman's silhouette, but the more he drew, the more uncertain he became, because he couldn't distinguish that brief glance, whether he was blinded by it, or it was just two or three They are very similar, but they have been tampered with by his memory to seven or eight points.

He told people to stare at Wangyue Restaurant, hoping to wait for that woman, but also afraid of really waiting.

Li Fengqi put down the portrait, took out the brush in his hand and put it away, and rubbed the frowning brows for him: "Have you seen someone who resembles her?"

"Yeah." Ye Yunting buried her face in his belly, her tone was a little low: "But I'm not sure if I got confused. She is with Mr. Chang..."

Li Fengqi lowered his eyes: "Then why don't you ask Mr. Chang?"

"..." Ye Yunting opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.There are many reasons for not asking, but the most important one is that he is afraid.

If that person is really his biological mother and has known Mr. Chang, then in these years, the other party has never let Mr. Chang reveal anything to him. Now that he has come to Beijing, it seems that he has no opinion... After thinking about it, the only one There is probably only one reason, that is, the other party does not want to recognize him.

He lost his mother as soon as he was born. He once envied Ye Wang for being protected by Yin Hongye, but then he suddenly knew that his biological mother was someone else, who might still be alive, so he inevitably had expectations for her.

But what he saw today broke his expectations.

He is afraid.

I am afraid that not only his biological father doesn't like him, but even his biological mother doesn't want to recognize him.
