As the sun rises in the east, golden rays illuminate every corner of Jingjie City, and the palace and inside are busy again.

In the lounge next to the royal study, Dongfang Liren was worked hard again after staying up late on duty. He rarely slept in and has not yet woken up.

The empress had already stood up, put on a red and black dragon robe, and led four palace maids holding trays in their hands to the bedroom in the central area.

The empress's body is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even after only sleeping for a few hours, she has regained her strong energy and her complexion is even better than before. After all, she now has no flaws in the dragon's painting, and she is still alive.

From a big girl to a young woman, she naturally looks a bit full of youth.

After arriving at the dormitory, the empress raised her hand slightly and asked the palace maid to wait outside. She quietly entered the dormitory alone, came to the dragon bed and lifted up the curtain to take a look.

The Queen Mother came over to visit her yesterday. After being intimate for a long time, she fell asleep in the night hall and then quietly returned to the palace with satisfaction.

However, Ye Jingtang slept too late and has not yet woken up. He is still lying on the pillow covered with a thin quilt.

However, I ate a roast chicken late at night and was not drained of the last bit of energy by the hand warmer. My complexion has recovered well now. I am breathing steadily with my eyes closed, and my face has become a little more shiny.

When the empress saw this scene, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She sat sideways and did not wake up. It was not until a long time later that Ye Jingtang's eyelashes moved slightly.

"call……"

After the Night Terror Hall was renovated, the feeling of emptiness gradually dissipated, and the whole person seemed to be alive again. He found that there seemed to be someone around him, so he opened his eyes slightly sleepily, and as a result, a red and black outline disappeared.

Under his eyes, his field of vision quickly recovered, and he could see clearly the charming face with a smile on his face.

"Eh?"

When Ye Jingtang saw Yuhu sitting next to him, he quickly turned over and raised his hand to wipe his face, then looked at Yuhu's clothes with a bit of novelty in his eyes.

Although they have known each other for a long time, Yuhu always wore a red dress when he saw him before. The only exception was when he went to Taihua Palace to be crowned Duke. Yuhu wore a dragon robe, but it was definitely not easy for him to raise his head.

Go and take a closer look.

At this time, Yuhu was wearing a majestic but not exaggerated dragon robe and was sitting in front of him openly. Ye Jingtang was really not used to it, so he said casually:

"I almost didn't recognize it when I put on my clothes..."

It was indeed the first time that the empress covered her neck so tightly in front of Ye Jingtang, and she had no chance to receive benefits. For this reason, she behaved very seriously, raised her hand to support Ye Jingtang, and asked softly:

"How was your rest? Have you recovered?"

Ye Jingtang was surrounded by hand warmers once. To be honest, he just recovered. However, seeing that Yuhu was worried, he still said boldly:

"It didn't take much effort, and I recovered early."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and pecked on her gorgeous red lips.

The empress did not cater to her this time and moved Ye Jingtang's cheek away:

"I just changed my clothes. I messed them up so I can't go to see the courtiers. I'll give you a big treat tonight. I asked the kitchen to make a big tonic soup. Do you want to get up to eat now, or should you sleep for a while?"

Night Jingtang hadn't seen Sanniang yet, so she woke up and couldn't sit still, so she stood up and said:

"My waist is sore after lying down all night. Let's get up and walk."

"Are you sure your backache is caused by lying down?"

"Alas~"

With a smile on her lips, the empress took the robe from the tray, put it on Ye Jingtang, then tied it behind her back, thought for a moment, and then said:

"King Liang has led troops to Pingyi City. Because of your reputation, many tribes in Xihai have revolted, but the four major tribes have not expressed their stance yet. When Miss Fan comes back, you will discuss with her to see if you can let her lead

Return to the Dongming tribe with troops and horses, and chat with the other three major tribes..."

The tribes in the West Sea followed the four major tribes, and they had suffered from the Northern Liang Dynasty for a long time, so they were rebellious. However, this does not mean that the Southern Dynasty fought against the Northern Liang Dynasty, and the tribes in the West China Sea would side with the Southern Dynasty.

After all, the tribes in the West Sea are a country in themselves, and their pursuit has always been to establish and restore the country on their own, rather than to serve as vassals to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Ye Jingtang also knows a lot about the tribes in Xihai, so he said:

"The tribes in the West Sea are not so easy to control. Even if Qinghe is King Dongming, as long as she wants to be a vassal to the Wei Dynasty, not many clan leaders will follow her. I can only handle this matter personally. When my body recovers, I and I

Qinghe, let’s go there together.”

The empress knew that the only person in the entire world who was qualified to command ten thousand ministries was Ye Jingtang, who had the legal system. Others could not unify the various ministries that were working independently, but when she thought about the Minglongtu, she still said

:

"Your health is not stable. You'd better take a good rest in the near future and don't need to show up in public. When the news about the last three pictures is found..."

Ye Jingtang turned around and faced the tall Yu Hu, lowered his head and pursed his red lips to stop his words:

"I'm really fine. I'm not a child. How can these things be inappropriate? If I notice something strange in my body, I will lie down and have a good rest without you telling me. Qinghe and the others will not be back in a few days. If you don't believe it, you have to

Why don’t you observe me for a few days first? If you still think there’s something wrong with me and don’t let me go out when I’m full of energy and energy, then I won’t say anything and I’ll just listen to you.”

The empress naturally hoped that Ye Jingtang would be okay, but Ming Long Tu had learned countless lessons from past mistakes, so she couldn't let it go completely. Seeing Ye Jingtang say this, she stopped talking and looked up and down at the handsome man in Shuiyun brocade black robe, and then turned

road:

"You will be the prince from now on, so you should be more domineering in your speech and behavior."

Ye Jingtang hung the Chilong Sword on his waist and spread his hands:

"I'm not domineering yet?"

When the empress saw this, she put her right hand around Ye Jingtang's waist, pulled him into her arms and bumped into the fat-headed dragon, with a domineering look in her eyes:

"This is just like an emperor. Next time you see Xue Baijin, just give her this..."

"?"

Ye Jingtang hooked his hand quite domineeringly, hugged Yuhu's hips, pushed Yuhu's toes to the ground, and said:

"It's better to say goodbye. I still want to live for two more years..."

The empress narrowed her eyes slightly: "Afraid of her but not me, right?"

"Oh, Leader Xue and I are innocent, this is not the same thing..."

Ye Jingtang was afraid that Yuhu would be jealous, so he quickly lowered his head and kept silent.

Bahba bah…

The empress looked helpless. After letting Ye Jingtang kiss her for a while, she pulled away her hand and took a few steps back:

"Come in, everyone."

The palace maid who was waiting outside immediately entered the bedroom with a tray and placed breakfast on the table.

Ye Jingtang's slightly frivolous expression also subsided, and he came to the table and had breakfast with Yu Hu...

——

War suddenly broke out at the border. People in both the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in panic. Traffickers and foot soldiers talking in low voices could be seen everywhere in the streets.

The southbound street in the city, where the bodyguard agencies gathered, had all closed down due to the war, and the horse and carriage shop at the entrance to Honghualou was also closed, leaving only a few Honghualou gatekeepers on duty.

In the accounting room behind the horse and carriage shop, Pei Xiangjun was dressed as a smart and capable female shopkeeper. She sat behind a large desk, dialing the abacus with her left hand and writing on the account book with her right hand, thinking about how much money Honghualou should donate to the imperial court for the war.

Da da da~

Xiuhe stood in front of the Taishi's chair, helping to grind the ink. His face was listless and he complained slightly:

"The poster is just a bully at home. Now outside, you are not as good as Miss Luo. You were clearly in the palace yesterday, but as soon as Master Ye came back, you were kicked back..."

Pei Xiangjun's expression was calm and calm, and he was making calculations neatly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I came back on my own. As a person, you have to understand the world. Jingtang is the young master of my Pei family. If I, the master of the family, continue to compete with my sister who just came in, how will Jingtang be able to control her in the future?

Zhai? When Jingtang is done with his work, he will naturally come back..."

Xiuhe Ruoyouruowu snorted: "Okay, let's take it as what the poster said makes sense. Then the poster has already given three points to the new sister, so why do you still count the money to give gifts to the court? The queen didn't even serve tea, poster

Just giving away family property as a token of goodwill, is this like the behavior of a lady who is in charge of the family?"

Pei Xiangjun's eyes were helpless: "What do you know? It's one thing after another. Donating money to the court is in the name of Honghualou. Now that the court is going to war to conquer Northern Xinjiang, it's time to burn money. We at Honghualou donate

Donate money and food, show your feelings for your family and country, and smoothly go ashore to become an imperial merchant. Isn't this as stable as opening a Jianghu dock in the future?

"Furthermore, Jingtang is the young master of Honghua Mansion. He is now the duke of the capital, and he is also the beloved general of the Holy Emperor. Our Honghua Mansion is such a big business. If we don't show any sign of it, how can other sects in the world contribute?"

Xiuhe was very smart and understood immediately:

"The original poster means that our money will be returned to the court in full..."

Pa~

Pei Xiangjun patted the table: "How can Jingtang, with such a decent temperament, do this?"

Xiuhe is the chief financial officer of Honghua House. Seeing that the boss is really planning to open a bank to donate money, he is naturally a little hesitant:

"Are you really going to donate? We should discuss this matter with all the hall masters. If there are any opinions below..."

"Now it's not like the past two years. As long as Jingtang nodded and asked them to donate their family property, no one would dare to say no..."

…

While the master and the servant were discussing, suddenly there was the sound of carriages and horses outside, and the noise of the disciples:

"Ouch! The young master is back..."

…
