Chongxi [rebirth]

Today, Ye Yunting is wearing a dark red baoxiang-patterned cotton gown, with a cloud-patterned jade belt around his waist, sheepskin boots, and a black crane cloak over his head. His long black hair is tied up with a white jade crown, and the tail of his hair hangs down. There is a bit of heroism in the gentle and handsome.Li Fengqi wore the same style as him, only the color was changed to dark black.

The two wore the same style of robes, one was gentle and elegant, the other noble and indifferent.But walking together, they are very harmonious.

Ye Boru looked at the two people who were walking slowly, his eyes moved slightly, and he went forward with a smile on his face: "My lord, brother." He looked at Ye Yunting with a very happy look: "I thought Big Brother won’t be here today.” As he spoke, he stepped forward to hold his arm, wanting to welcome him in.

The guests who came to the banquet all looked at them, thinking that these two young masters are really good at tricks, and they have such a close relationship with Princess Yong'an?

When everyone was feeling emotional, they saw Ye Yunting pulled out his arm, and said coldly: "It's just the first time I met you, and we don't have much friendship, so there is really no need to be so deliberately close."

Ye Boru smiled, took a step back, and looked apologetic: "Brother may be seeing me for the first time, but I often hear my father mention him, and I have admired him for a long time, so I can't help being close when we meet. If you don’t like it, I’ll stay away from it.”

"???"

Ye Yunting felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard his words.

He was not familiar with Ye Boru, and he didn't even know the existence of this younger brother before that, so naturally he couldn't say whether he was close or not.Ye Boru was just a stranger to him.In his opinion, Ye Boru should treat him the same way.But he was unreasonable and took the initiative to get close to him.Instead, it made him vigilant.

In comparison, Ye Fan, who is still a fool, is simply lovable.

"Then you should stay away, I'm not used to getting too close to strangers."

Ye Yunting frowned, a little impatient to deal with him.The reason why he and Li Fengqi came here today was to inquire about Ye Wang's news, and he didn't intend to waste time on Ye Boru.After staying in the palace for so many days, he has learned three points of Li Fengqi's indifference, and he is not stingy with cold faces to people he doesn't like.

Seeing the impatience on his face, the expressions of the guests changed again, thinking that it was not because the two brothers had a good relationship.It's that the second young master wants to catch up with the eldest young master.But it seems that this concubine does not please Princess Yong'an.

Ye Boru didn't expect him to be so shameless, his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightened, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Then I will lead the prince and elder brother in." He looked at Li Fengqi who had never spoken, and said to Ye Yunting: "Brother is a guest, do you need me to arrange for someone to push the prince in?"

"No, I'm more familiar with this Duke's mansion than you. Let's go in by ourselves. You can entertain the guests." Ye Yunting frowned, becoming more and more bewildered, and frowning rejected his proposal.He pushed Li Fengqi inside alone.

When passing by, Li Fengqi raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Boru, only to see him smiling gently at him.

"...?"

Li Fengqi vaguely felt that he smelled something of the same kind.He frowned and said to Ye Yunting: "If you stay away from him, it won't be a good bird."

Ye Yunting also felt that this concubine brother was a deep-minded one, but he didn't know how to deal with him much, so he nodded casually.

The two went to the front hall.Most of the guests have already arrived.Seeing them coming, many officials looked hesitant, wanting to come forward to talk, but fearing that the news would reach the emperor's ears, and they would become friends with King Yong'an because of disagreements, and be thrown into the Xing Prison of Dali Temple.

As a result, many people looked like they wanted to go forward but dared not go forward, their eyes flickered and hesitated.

Li Fengqi snorted secretly and ignored them.Zizai sat down first, and poured tea for Ye Yunting slowly.

This is what Ye Boru saw when he came with Ye Zhili.

——Li Fengqi's movements of pouring tea are extremely elegant, dragging the teacup with his slender fingers, with a kind of indescribable wantonness.He seemed to say something to Ye Yunting, Ye Yunting bent his lips and smiled, and took the teacup.

He clenched his fingers, suppressed all his emotions with lowered eyes, and followed behind Ye Zhili.

Among the guests in the room, King Yong'an and Princess Wang are the most important.Although Ye Zhili occupies the status of an elder, but Li Fengqi doesn't give face, he still has to be a courtier.

"My lord, my concubine. The banquet is ready, everyone, please follow me to the table."

The seats were all arranged, and the guests were seated by Ku Xu under the guidance of the maid.

Ye Yunting pushed Li Fengqi over unhurriedly, but Ye Boru took the initiative to come over again: "Let me lead the way for the prince and elder brother." He smiled innocently: "Your seats are close to mine. .”

While speaking, I arrived at the table.Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi sat in the VIP seats, while Ye Boru followed Ye Zhili in the master seat, the seats on both sides were indeed very close to each other.

After taking his seat, Ye Boru raised his glass to them.

Ye Yunting pretended not to see it, and turned his eyes away.Frowning and muttering to Li Fengqi: "Why is this Ye Boru always showing favor to me?"

He didn't think that Ye Boru was like Ye Wang, he really regarded him as a big brother, and he had a heart of closeness and admiration.

Ye Wang had the heart of a child, but Ye Boru didn't know what kind of heart he had.

"Just ignore him."

Li Fengqi looked at Ye Boru with very critical and distasteful eyes. With this little ability, he dared to fight against others, which is really embarrassing.If it wasn't at the Duke's mansion, if he dared to show his favor to Ye Yunting in front of him, he would kill several of them with a single whip.

The two of them were biting their ears while drinking wine, forming a tacit atmosphere of tacit understanding, excluding everyone else.

Ye Boru wanted to go up to toast several times, but no matter whether it was Ye Yunting or Li Fengqi, he didn't glance at him. In front of so many people, he couldn't put his hot face on his cold ass, so he could only hold back temporarily. Come down and mingle with the other guests.

After drinking for three rounds, many guests were drunk, and they also became casual during the banquet. The guests gathered in small groups to drink and chat.

Ye Zhili glanced at the two people who formed a circle, thinking about the anger he had received in the palace before, and deliberately brought Ye Boru forward to introduce: "This is your elder brother Yunting, I haven't come to formally introduce you to you before." Then he said to Ye Yunting: "This is your second brother, Bo Ru, who is now working in the Ministry of Officials."

Ye Boru smiled softly: "I have just met my elder brother. My elder brother is even more handsome than I imagined."

"?" Ye Zhili heard it, but felt a little weird.Why are these one and two so close to the boss?

He gave Ye Boru a look of disapproval, and continued: "Why do you want to belittle yourself, you are sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials before you are 20 years old, and the government will depend on you in the future."

Ye Zhili spoke meaningfully, and there was still a bit of color on his face.

"What did the Duke of Qi say? In terms of succession and merit, it's not even the turn of a concubine to hold up the lintel of the Duke's mansion, right?" Li Fengqi smiled.Turning her head to look at Ye Yunting, she said: "My concubine just told me that he and Ye Wang have a deep affection for brother, and she doesn't want to fight with him. This time, I came here just to explain to the Duke, and to hand over the paperwork for the prince as soon as possible." go up."

Ye Yunting answered with a smile: "That's right, father went to the palace with mother earlier, and it was for this reason? Now that I understand it, father doesn't have to worry anymore."

"..." Ye Zhili twitched his face, and forced a worried expression: "But your third brother now..." Before he finished speaking, he only sighed deeply.

Seeing his attitude, Ye Yunting became more and more convinced that Ye Zhili probably sent Ye Wang there deliberately knowing that the Yin family was going to rebel.

Before, he still felt that he couldn't figure out the reason, but now he looked at Ye Boru, and he understood.

In the past, Ye Zhili sent him to Yong'an Palace for joy, and now he sent Ye Wang to Yunrong, but it was all to make room for Ye Boru. Over the years, Ye Zhili probably had a plan, but he and Yin Hongye was blinded and couldn't see the truth clearly.

"Did father ever send someone to inquire about the third brother?" Ye Yunting asked again.

"Now that Yunrong is occupied by a rebel party, how can I find out the news?" Ye Zhili sighed, and pretended to say: "Your mother was also in a hurry and wrote several letters to the Yin family, but all of them fell to nothing."

Seeing his prevarication, Ye Yunting knew that no useful news could be found from him, so he didn't bother to go around with him anymore, and said: "Father, don't worry too much, the prince has already sent someone to find out the news." He looked around and said: "Is mother in the backyard? Something happened to Ye Fan, she must be in a hurry, I'll go and see her."

Regardless of Ye Zhili's gloomy expression, he pushed Li Fengqi back.

Behind Ye Zhili narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's time to pretend to be a mother and child." He glanced at Ye Boru, and said, "Go and watch, don't tell your mother to say something you shouldn't say."

This action hit Ye Bo Xia's arms, he nodded and chased after him.

Ye Yunting pushed Li Fengqi, and Ye Boru chased after him within a short distance.He walked beside Ye Yunting, still with a gentle look: "Father asked my elder brother to go with me. These days, my mother is in a bad mood and often loses her temper..."

He looked embarrassed: "Mother's temper is well known, I'm afraid I will have to bear more later."

"..." Ye Yunting glanced at him without words.I don't know what he is trying to pretend to be so tired.

In the backyard, the three of them stopped.

Today the backyard is full of female relatives who come to the banquet, Yin Hongye should entertain the guests inside, Ye Yunting found a maid to ask Yin Hongye to come out.

Yin Hongye heard that Ye Yunting was looking for him, so she didn't want to go.In the past few days, in order to find a way to go out of the house to find someone to inquire about Yun Rong's news, she tried her best to cheer up, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with Ye Yunting.I also don't want him to watch me laugh.

"and many more."

The maid was about to answer, but was stopped again.

Yin Hongye thought for a long time, thinking that before Ye Wanglin went to Yunrong, Ye Yunting had even stopped her... Maybe he didn't come to see her joke this time.With hope in mind, she straightened her clothes and walked outside.

The maid led her to a hexagonal pavilion.

Besides Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi, there is also Ye Boru in the pavilion.

Yin Hongye glanced at Ye Boru in disgust, frowned and said to Ye Yunting, "Why is he here? You are close to this bastard."

Ye Boru's eyes dimmed, but he still respectfully called "Mother".

Ye Yunting seemed not to have heard Yin Hongye's push, turned to Li Fengqi and said, "I have something to say to my mother alone." Then he made a look and signaled Yin Hongye to talk to him elsewhere.

Looking suspiciously at Ye Yunting, Yin Hongye followed after all.

Seeing this, Ye Boru raised his foot and wanted to follow, but Li Fengqi stopped him with his hand. He said coldly, "Didn't the second son hear you? They want to talk alone."

"..." Ye Boru could only stop and wait in the pavilion with him.

Li Fengqi saw that he was peaceful, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, he turned around and stared at the lake opposite the pavilion in boredom.

"The relationship between the lord and the eldest brother seems to be very good." Ye Boru who was on the side opened his mouth but couldn't calm down.

He asked this question fairly well, Li Fengqi raised his eyelids and said "Mmm".

Seeing his response, Ye Boru's eyes darkened.He took a step forward, side by side with Li Fengqi, with his hands behind his back, and slowly said: "Actually, I have also admired the prince for a long time. Over the years, I have been familiar with military books, and I have always hoped that one day I can follow the prince to fight everywhere and make contributions. The prince is overjoyed, and I have been envious for a while." He sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing."

"The relationship between the prince and the eldest brother is very strong now, and I don't expect anything else. I just hope that I can be an aide and help the prince." He looked at Li Fengqi with burning eyes: "Now I am a little thin in front of your majesty. If the prince can trust me, Boru can do whatever he wants."

He looked at Li Fengqi confidently, thinking that he would not refuse his help.

Now that the battle between the emperor and King Yong'an was on the table, if he used such a dark chess piece well, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

No matter how good Ye Yunting is, might he be able to help him?

He hid the ambition in his eyes, whether it was the government of the country or King Yong'an, he would snatch it from Ye Yunting.

"??????"

Li Fengqi looked up at him in disbelief, so shocked that he couldn't think of a suitable word to reprimand for a while.

He thought his target was Ye Yunting, but he didn't expect it to be himself? ? ?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Boru thought that his heart was moved, and lowered his eyes and threw out a more attractive condition: "I heard that the prince's poison was poisoned by Taifu Han Chan. Now Han Chan has been imprisoned. Taifu No one else is allowed to enter or leave the mansion. But I happen to be trusted by His Majesty, and I am responsible for the defense and dispatch of the Taifu's mansion..."

Since the poison was poisoned by Han Chan, he must have an antidote in his hands.He looked at Li Fengqi earnestly, but he still wasn't tempted if he didn't believe it.

Li Fengqi looked up at him, and finally recovered his skills: "This king looks like a beggar?"

Ye Boru didn't understand for a while, and was slightly puzzled: "What?"

"I'm not a beggar, and I don't collect all stinky fish and rotten shrimps at home. You are worthy of being compared with Yunting?" Li Fengqi snorted unceremoniously, raised his hand and touched the plate on his left arm. With a whip, his eyes were slightly cold: "Are you going to leave by yourself, or is this king giving you a ride?"

"..." Ye Boru's expression changed slightly, and he took two steps back subconsciously.He managed to maintain a gentle expression on his face: "My lord may have misunderstood me."

Li Fengqi took out the whip and played with it in his hand, his gaze was fixed on him, without saying a word.

Ye Boru gritted his teeth, and took two steps back: "Since that's the case, Boru will leave first. But what I said today is absolutely not false. If the prince changes his mind, he can still come to me at any time."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Li Fengqi stared at his figure, and slowly rolled the soft whip back.

With just these two brushes, he dared to dance in front of him, he was beyond his control.
