When Ye Guixue returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion, it was almost dark.
Lu Weiran happened to meet him at the door and asked in surprise: "Cousin, didn't you send someone to say you have an appointment tonight? Why did you come back so early? Or did you miss the appointment? After returning home, pack up before going out.
?”
"I went there in advance." Ye Guixue shook her head.
Lu Weiran heard this and said: "At this time, has my cousin not had dinner yet?"
Ye Guixue nodded.
Lu Weiran immediately said: "That's just right. Mother originally planned to hold a banquet to see you off tonight. When I heard that you weren't going back home for dinner, she regretted saying that she might as well have held a banquet yesterday. Now that you're back early, that's the best thing.
Yes, I will send someone to send a message to mother."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Okay."
Lu Weiran immediately sent someone to inform Mrs. Cheng Guogong.
Ye Guixue returned to her courtyard. In the past, when he returned home, Ye Qiuying would come out to greet her. Now, Ye Qiuying went to live in the East Palace, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
He rubbed his brows, sat down, and softly shouted, "Yinyue."
"Son."
Ye Guixue asked: "Did you get the things I asked you to get back?"
Yinyue nodded, "Go back to the young master and take it."
He took out something and handed it to Ye Guixue, "Master, do you want to keep it yourself? Or should you give it to your subordinates for safekeeping?"
Ye Guixue glanced at it, remained silent for a moment, and said, "You can keep it for me!"
Yinyue nodded and put the things away.
When Mrs. Cheng Guogong learned that Ye Guixue had an appointment tonight, although she regretted not holding a banquet to see him off yesterday, she still ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet, thinking that he would come back from outside and sit with everyone in the mansion.
She thought it was a farewell to him. But she didn't expect that Ye Guixue returned home early. She thought it was just a coincidence.
Duke Cheng Guo looked at his wife with admiration and said, "Yes, you are still thoughtful in your work."
Mrs. Cheng Guogong was helpless, "What's going on in this mansion? You don't believe that the mansion can take good care of Qiu Ying even if you don't look at Gui Xue, so why don't you send her to the East Palace for resettlement? If I don't need to be more considerate, will people continue to laugh at me?"
Going down?"
She looked at Cheng Guogong sadly, "I have too many children, and each of them has their own ideas and methods, making the house a mess. I have already persuaded you to discipline me strictly, but what about you? You said at the beginning
What, whoever has the ability will get the foothold, let me not have a woman's opinion. Now? Everyone has grown up, and their abilities are very great. They only know how to fight in the nest, and even those who are supposed to defect to us don't dare to come here.
I’ve been here for a long time.”
Cheng Guogong was a little embarrassed, but he knew he was wrong and said sarcastically: "Madam said, I will listen to Madam from now on."
Mrs. Cheng Guogong was not coaxed by his kind words and said to him: "You don't have to listen to me. I am a woman. In the future, you can listen more to me and don't make it too difficult for him."
"He has taken charge. He is the heir apparent. In the future, 70% of this huge family property will be handed over to him. I always understand the appropriateness of this, and he is indeed reassuring." Duke Cheng Guo expressed his stance, "Don't worry!
"
The Duke's wife was quite satisfied with what he said and nodded.
So, that night, the Duke of Chengguo hosted a banquet to see Ye Guixue off.
After the banquet, Lu Weiran sent Ye Guixue back to his residence. Ye Guixue saw that he hesitated several times and asked warmly: "My cousin, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to just say it."
Lu Weiran looked around and saw that there was no one around, but he still said: "Let's talk about it after we enter the room!"
Ye Guixue nodded.
Returning to the courtyard where Ye Guixue lived, he entered the back room. The servants made tea and went out. After closing the door, Lu Weiran said: "Cousin, you are leaving tomorrow, while Miss Su Qi remains in the capital...
...", he had doubts in his heart, "On the day when the results were announced, in the teahouse, I looked at Zhou Gu and Miss Su Qi, and they seemed to be very different. The relationship between the two of them was very subtle...", he didn't know how to describe it, "
Today I heard a rumor that Zhou Gu seemed to be heading towards Nanping, but he couldn't be sure..."
Ye Guixue understood, looked at Lu Weiran and said, "Don't worry, cousin, Miss Su Qi and I..." He paused, "She is the princess of Southern Chu, this will not change."
Lu Weiran was stunned and looked at Ye Guixue in confusion.
Ye Guixue did not intend to talk to him about the matter with Su Rong, and said to him: "I will place Qiu Ying in the East Palace of His Royal Highness through the princess. Firstly, for peace of mind, my heart, and the princess's heart."
Second, Qiu Ying's move into the East Palace can shorten the distance between the Chengguo Palace and the East Palace. In recent years, the distance between the Chengguo Palace and the East Palace has been too far, which is not a good thing. After I left, my cousin Chang
Go to the East Palace to see Qiu Ying. It will be beneficial and harmless to you if you move around frequently. The tail of Cheng Guo Gong's house cannot be removed. After all, my cousin is soft-hearted and should be more ruthless. Otherwise, if this continues, he will suffer. This is what I will give you.
Cousin’s advice. I don’t want the Chengguo Palace to disappear after the prince ascends the throne.”
Lu Weiran straightened his expression and said, "Don't worry, cousin, please keep this in mind for my brother's sake."
The two cousins drank a cup of tea and chatted a few more words. Lu Weiran asked Ye Guixue to rest early and left his yard.
He walked out of the courtyard, thought of something, and stopped to look back. After he left, Yinyue took a letter and entered Ye Guixue's house. It was inappropriate for him to go back, so he withdrew his gaze and went to
Walk into your own yard.
Since Su Rong said she would live with Ye Qiuying in the East Palace, she naturally shared a bed with her. Ye Qiuying's little body was soft and warm. Su Rong felt very comfortable holding her, just like holding a pillow, so she put aside her own
He took the quilt, lay down on the bed with her, then hugged her without letting go, and fell asleep contentedly.
She fell asleep so fast that Ye Qiuying stared at her with her big eyes open, wondering how she fell asleep so fast.
She had never slept in someone's arms since she was a child, and she was very uncomfortable. She endured it for a while, and the more she endured, the more she couldn't sleep. She couldn't help twisting her body, trying to get out of Su Rong's arms, but she couldn't.
Su Rong's hug was so tight that she couldn't break away, so she could only lie in her arms with a sad face.
After lying there stiffly for an unknown amount of time, Ye Qiuying sighed resignedly and fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Su Rong opened her eyes on time and saw that Ye Qiuying was still sleeping. She pushed her awake and said, "Wake up."
Ye Qiuying was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She said, "Ugh," "Sister Su Qi, you are so annoying."
Su Rong: "..."
She said "Hey", stretched out her hand to pinch her little face, "You say I hate it so early in the morning? Why don't you get up and see your little uncle off? If you can't afford it, I'll go by myself."
Ye Qiuying got excited for a moment and climbed up from the bed sleepily. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and said, "I don't want to sleep with you anymore."
"What's wrong with me?" Su Rong looked at her, as if she saw herself who disliked the first lady, "Am I not sleeping well? I kicked the quilt? I punched and kicked you?"
"That's not true." Ye Qiuying shook her head and accused her, "You sleep too deeply."
