The daily life of the eldest son

After sleeping until noon, Ye Yi wouldn't have woken up if he didn't feel stuffy.

When his consciousness returned, Ye Yi only felt that there was something heavy on his chest, and it was still a warm weight.Opening his eyes, Ye Yi saw Xuanfeng lying on his chest, seeing that he was awake, he stuck out his tongue to lick him.Laughter came from next to his ear, Ye Yi turned his head and saw Tang Xiao who was covering his mouth and giggling.

Ye Yi got up, picked up Xuanfeng and put it aside.

"It's so hot, why are you covering me with a fur quilt? It's so hot." Ye Yi complained to Tang Xiao as soon as he got up.

Tang Xiao shrugged, and said with an innocent face: "I just told Xuanfeng to wake you up, and it got on the ground by itself."

"Who did it learn from?" Ye Yi was puzzled.

Tang Xiao rubbed his nose and changed the subject: "Are you hungry? My mother made something to eat."

"Your mother?" Ye Yi looked at Tang Xiao in surprise.

He didn't remember Mrs. Tang cooking.

Tang Xiao nodded, and added when Ye Yi showed an even more surprised expression: "She only washed the vegetables, stir-fried them a few times, and Fu Ying was the one who chopped and seasoned the vegetables."

Ye Yi immediately put away the surprise on his face.

"It's really embarrassing for Auntie. How is Auntie living in the mansion?" Ye Yi asked with concern.

Tang Xiao and Ye Yi went out side by side, and replied: "Let my father pick her up and go home."

"Alright," Ye Yi nodded, "Looking at the situation, we'll have to stay in the East Palace for a while longer. I'm worried about leaving my aunt alone in the mansion. It would be great if uncle could take her back."

Ye Yi actually wanted to live with Mrs. Tang for a while. His mother died early. Most of the maternal love Ye Yi felt these years came from Mrs. Tang. When he saw Mrs. Tang's approval yesterday, Ye Yi felt Mrs. Tang treated him even closer, and because of this closeness, Ye Yi didn't want Mrs. Tang to live comfortably.

After having a meal with Lu Ning, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao returned to Guangtian Palace.

The people who had slept together before had changed their clothes, rearranged themselves, sat upright in their respective positions, and greeted Ye Yi and Tang Xiao one after another when they saw Ye Yi and Tang Xiao enter the door.

"Hey, Xuanfeng is also here?"

Hearing this, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao suddenly turned their heads, only to realize that they had been looking at Xuan Feng who was following behind them.

Seeing Ye Yi and Tang Xiao looking over at the same time, Xuanfeng lowered his head slightly, took a step back with his front foot, and raised his eyes to look up at Ye Yi and Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao saw that Xuanfeng was only following the two of them, without even looking at the others, as if he was not interested in them at all, so he said to Ye Yi: "After I finish talking with His Highness, I will take it out. "

Ye Yi nodded.

The prince Taibao suddenly said: "My old man sees that Xuanfeng is well-trained and very well-behaved, even if he stays here, it won't hurt. Young Fu and Young Bao are too busy these days to take care of him, he's probably lonely."

"This..." Ye Yi was a little embarrassed.

The crown prince and Taibao are not afraid, but the others are afraid, Cui Liang almost shrank under the table.

"What's the matter? What are you doing?" The prince happened to enter the hall at this time, seeing Ye Yi and Tang Xiao standing in the middle of the hall, he suddenly felt strange.

Everyone got up immediately, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao also turned around, and saluted the prince together with everyone.

However, the prince's attention was attracted by Xuanfeng at Ye Yi's feet. At this time, the leopard was sitting upright at Ye Yi's feet, with its head slightly lowered, and it seemed to be in the same posture as everyone in the East Palace.

The prince couldn't control it for a moment, and chuckled lightly.

When the prince smiled, everyone felt strange and all looked at the prince.

The crown prince cleared his throat, and praised: "The leopard of Shaofu and Shaobao is really well trained, even learned how to salute?"

Hearing the prince mentioned the leopard, everyone subconsciously looked at Xuanfeng, seeing that Xuanfeng still maintained that posture with his head down, everyone was taken aback, and then laughed too.

Ye Yi said helplessly: "I haven't seen Xuanfeng for a few days. I think the trainer taught it etiquette. When I go back, I will reward it well."

The prince was curious for a moment, so he stared at Xuanfeng and said, "All loves, rise up."

The prince seldom said that, and everyone guessed the prince's intentions, so they all looked at Xuanfeng.

Seeing that Xuanfeng seemed to really understand, he raised his head and licked his mouth.

The crowd laughed.

The prince smiled and said: "It seems that this palace is going to add another courtier to the east palace."

After talking and joking, the prince walked up to the desk above and sat down, and the others also walked back to their seats and sat down.Xuanfeng looked at Ye Yi who was walking to the left, then at Tang Xiao who was walking to the right, turned around and followed Ye Yi, and squatted next to Ye Yi.

The prince laughed and said: "Although I think Xuanfeng is suitable to be a military commander, it seems that he wants to be a civil servant."

Immediately, some of the other people booed, asking Xuanfeng to spit out his words and analyze the political situation.

A group of people were making noise, Xuanfeng naturally couldn't understand it at all, but Ye Yi had been touching its head since the beginning, as if admiring it, Xuanfeng squinted his eyes contentedly and rubbed against Ye Yi's palm, I don't care at all.

Seeing this scene, the prince suddenly sighed and said: "This beast is easier to satisfy than humans. You just need to stroke its head to praise it, and it will be so happy, but humans are always greedy."

The prince suddenly expressed his feelings, and the talking and laughing of the others stopped abruptly, and they all sat upright, secretly guessing why the prince was expressing his feelings.

After a while, the prince who was immersed in emotions spoke again to explain the confusion for everyone: "The Minister of the Household Department colluded with the Minister of the Taifu Temple and embezzled the property of the treasury privately. He was impeached by the Yushitai early this morning, and the Emperor Father has ordered the Dali Temple to investigate. "

Everyone was shocked.If he was publicly impeached by Yushitai in the court, then there is no doubt about it. If he hadn't caught the tail, Yushitai would not impeach officials easily.

However, Ye Yi was one step ahead of everyone and directly thought of the question of successors.

"Being impeached by the Yushitai, the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Taifu Temple are likely to be dismissed. Does Your Highness want to recommend a successor to His Majesty?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then they thought about the importance of successors.

The crown prince is the crown prince, the one who will ascend to the throne. Although the East Palace is equivalent to a small imperial court, and the East Palace is full of the crown prince's confidantes, if you want to have a smooth sailing after ascending the throne, you should turn the entire court into your own in advance. of.However, this is a time-consuming process, and it is necessary to see the stitches without losing the opportunity.

The prince looked at Ye Yi and nodded, "Young Master Ye is always able to tell what is on my mind, and I was thinking about it on the way back. Do you have any suggestions?"

The crown prince thought for a while, and said, "If you recommend someone from the East Palace, will your intention be too obvious?"

Cui Liang frowned and said: "But these years, for the sake of his own reputation, His Highness has not placed his own people in the three provinces and six departments. If you don't choose the people from the East Palace, who else can you use?"

As soon as Cui Liang's question was thrown out, everyone talked about it, but all they could think of was their relatives, relatives of his wife's family, and other relatives.

Having a headache from everyone's chatter, the crown prince rubbed his forehead and asked Ye Yi, "What suggestion does Young Master Ye have? Can the vacation in the early days be rewarding?"

Ye Yi raised his eyebrows, wondering if the Prince's order was just for this moment, right?

"I think that recommending people from the Eastern Palace has obvious intentions, but if Your Majesty agrees, it will be a tacit consent to the future. People in the Eastern Palace who can be sent outside with confidence, I recommend Zhan Shi. Cui Zhanshi's loyalty is of course useless." Said, everyone can see it. Although a bit stubborn and rigid, it is not a bad idea to go to Taifu Temple. Zuo Zhan Shi Lu Ning and the Crown Princess belong to the same sect. Even if they leave the gate of the East Palace, they have to help With my family.

Naturally, His Highness can also choose from other people, but His Majesty may not agree. After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs and Taifu Temple are important government offices in the court, and the important positions that will be lost are important positions. His Majesty will not appoint people with insufficient experience and qualifications.

If it is outside of the East Palace... How does His Highness think Liu Yue, Prime Minister of Honglu Temple? "

"Liu Yue?" This strange name attracted the prince's interest.

Ye Yi nodded and said: "Your Highness can ask anyone in the court, and you can ask Liu Yue's name. This person's reputation is a bit bad, but he is capable enough. Although his surname is Liu, he relies on His mother's natal Lu's family was rich. If he wants to continue to be rich, he cannot do without Lu. A few days ago, when Chen was wandering in the imperial city, Liu Yue also talked to Chen in private. I still don't understand what he's thinking, but if His Highness uses him, Mrs. Lu will definitely use him too."

And the Lu family is the natal family of the Crown Princess, who has achieved the status of the Crown Princess, and will have to rely on the Crown Princess to obtain her status in the future. The Crown Princess depends on the Crown Prince for everything. Those are the treasures that Lu Shi put on the other princes, they are not of great weight, they are just for convenience.

The prince narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "If it's true as you said, then Liu Yue can be used. But I thought you would recommend another person."

Ye Yi smiled and said: "Your Highness is talking about Chen Siming, the young secretary of Sinong Temple?"

The prince nodded.

Ye Yidao: "Si Nong Siqing is my grandfather, but my grandfather is old and will be promoted soon. Even if he can't be promoted, Chen Siming can still sit firmly in the position of Si Nong Si Qing. I don't think it is necessary to deliberately move him .”

"It makes sense." The prince nodded, "But you have said so much, I can't remember it, you will write the people you want to recommend today as notes, and send them to me tomorrow morning, I will consider carefully .”

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, but many people knew in their hearts that the crown prince would recommend to His Majesty in the end, most likely the ones mentioned by Ye Yi. As far as the public was concerned, they had to admit that the people Ye Yi selected were indeed suitable. ... In front of Ye Yi who did not recommend his own family or even the Tang family at all, those who only know how to promote themselves have no face to refute.

The most important thing has been discussed, the crown prince waved his hand, and said generously: "You have worked hard for the past few days, the emperor gave me not many memorials today, so you should go back and have a good rest, and return to the East Palace at noon tomorrow That's it. If you collapse from exhaustion, the loss will not be worth the gain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone wanted to say a few more polite words, but they were exhausted both mentally and physically, and they really needed to rest.

With such a long rest time, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao naturally wanted to bring Xuanfeng back to the Zhuang Mansion.Originally thought that Mrs. Tang would return to the Tang mansion with Tang Shichang, and their Zhuang mansion would return to its former peace, but as soon as they opened the gate of the Zhuang mansion, the two heard Mrs. Tang's voice.

"Tang Shichang, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

Ye Yi and Tang Xiao were both ashamed.

It has been almost three hours, why hasn't Tang Shichang taken Mrs. Tang away yet?
