Work overtime

Prince Jin looked up at Ye Liangyuan expressionlessly and asked with displeasure, "This is my first time meeting Ye Liangyuan. I don't know what's going on."

Approximately equal to: Who are you? Do I know you?

It is very appropriate to clearly delineate the boundaries between the prince and the emperor's concubines, especially since the emperor has just returned from his personal expedition.

To put it harshly, it can be regarded as using a suicide bomb to sow discord between the emperor and the prince.

Li Beichen also felt embarrassed and had a headache.

When Ye Suhua was ordered to accompany him, his only thought was to appease and win over Ye Ming, and he had long forgotten about the incident of falling into the water.

To him, these rights and wrongs were just trivial matters of jealousy between women, and he never paid any attention to them.

Never thought that Ye Suhua would be stupid enough to mention Princess Jin and poke his brother's lungs at this time.

Li Beichen narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Suhua. Ye Suhua became more and more at a loss when he saw this.

There is progress, but not much.

Only then did Ye Suhua realize his abruptness. I was very embarrassed for a moment, but I couldn't think of a contingency plan, and my face turned red with anxiety.

Li Beihong turned a blind eye and watched the show slowly.

The emperor took a slow sip of the soup and said, "Ye Liangyuan, are you apologizing for your father?"

Ye Suhua looked at the emperor gratefully and said quickly, "Yes, I am apologizing for my father's previous confrontation with King Jin."

I secretly thought that there must be some differences between my father and the King of Jin in the court.

The emperor smiled and said nothing, and kept staring at his younger brother, meaning that you should just leave the story. We must consider the overall situation and not be too affectionate.

Her father Ye Ming really never had any conflict with King Jin.

Because his father basically didn't ask for permission, and if the emperor had private instructions, he would do as the emperor told him. The emperor did not give an explanation, so he asked the emperor to make a decision, asked the two prime ministers to make a decision, and asked the ministries to discuss and decide.

When there is controversy, go with the flow. Others were making a lively noise in the court, but he stood aside and watched. The question is that both sides are justified, and it needs to be considered comprehensively or the emperor's ruling is required. No conflict with anyone at all.

What he does is to resolutely implement the final decision of the emperor or the court. At present, the Ministry of Industry has done a pretty good job.

"It doesn't matter. It's all for the sake of the country, and we listen to the emperor's orders." Li Beihong raised his teacup, smiled lightly, and took a sip.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "There are loyal ministers in the court, so this matter will be easy to handle. Xiaobao, arrange to carry Ye Liangyuan back to the palace on a soft sedan. Prince Jin, come with me for a walk in the garden."

When they arrived in the garden, the emperor smiled and said to his younger brother, "You are quite vindictive."

Li Beihong nodded and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, I have held grudges since I was a child."

Of course he knew that he valued feelings too much, but wasn't it because of this that the emperor was less wary of him?

The unsympathetic people in this world live better.

Li Beichen was twisting a leaf in his hand. He certainly had his reasons for reusing Ye Ming.

The hole in the household is so big, Ye Ming must have discovered it during the days he left. Someone with Murong Chi's personality would definitely not be able to think of a way to fill the hole, nor would he have the financial resources to fill the hole himself.

Ye Ming is very suitable.

Li Beichen just saw that Ye Ming had an industry and a family that could fill the hole. We also know how to make money continuously and effectively, so that we can make good use of the hundreds of millions of funds obtained from the national treasury through anti-corruption and make as much money as possible.

He originally had a crush on Jiang Yuebai's father, Jiang Jingxian. Jiang Jingxian is more suitable than Ye Ming.

Jiang Jingxian is good at business and has no desire for power. He is not from a wealthy family, so he is not suitable to be a tool man.

Li Beiwang obviously also caught on to this and saw through Li Beichen's plan, so he couldn't wait to marry Jiang Jinshi.

He is ruthless and thoughtful, "If you can't get it, destroy it." He arranged people in advance, and after the rebellion failed, he killed his father-in-law and his family, cutting off Li Beichen's financial path.

Before the draft, in order to relieve the imminent financial problems, Chen Xiang and Meng Xiang jointly gave him private advice to include the legitimate daughters of wealthy businessmen across the country in the draft.

So in fact, in this draft, the number of women who are wealthy businessmen can be said to be unprecedentedly high.

Jiang Jingxian is nominally one of the eight wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, but in fact he ranks among the top three. It is a key hunting target. After the end of the first day, the Shang Palace Bureau had arranged for several professional nuns to observe secretly, give a preliminary impression score based on the appearance and character of the list, and secretly submitted it to the emperor the next morning.

The roster has been shortened to five. Jiang Yuebai and Jiang Jinxiu were among them. Three of the five were eventually hired.

In addition to sisters Jiang Yuebai, the merchant's daughters who were hired also had Gu Xuanshi who was placed in Concubine Chen Shu's palace.

It's just that Gu Xuanshi is from Yunnan, and his father's mother's family is a descendant of the wealthy Shen Wansan's family who was sent to Yunnan.

Like Shen Wansan, Gu Xuanshi's father spent a lot of money to buy a nominal local official. When he entered the palace, he was considered to be from an official family, but in fact he was from a 24k merchant family.

On the day of the palace election, even if Jiang Yuebai didn't take the initiative to write poems, he would find any reason to keep the Jiang sisters. But Jiang Yuebai's words were coherent and matched with poems, which made him become a close friend on the spot.

Everything after that, including the discovery that Jiang Yuebai was good at swordsmanship, was purely an accident. Although it only lasted a month, it took over his heart and made him do all kinds of crazy things.

Even when he was away at war and the war was so tense, he would still dream about her every night. The more I miss you, the more I miss you.

For the first time, Li Beichen felt great throbbing and sweetness, and also felt a strong sense of insecurity.

The brief separation made him see his thoughts more clearly.

On the way back to the city, the Queen Mother's words kept echoing in his mind, "As an emperor, you must be ruthless."

A burst of chirping birds broke Li Beichen's thoughts.

Li Beihong said happily, "Magpies. There are quite a few of them."

Li Beihong turned to look at the imperial brother. The royal brother looked at each other and smiled with joy.

"Yeah. Magpie. Good sign."

The voice rose and he was full of ambition.

Nowadays, there is indeed a sense of hopelessness, with good news coming one after another.

His brother's frank smile also made him relax and feel much more comfortable. He's still the bratty little brother who can't hide his worries. Just now, he had the illusion that his brother's heart was getting farther and farther away from him.

Li Beihong turned his head and looked at Li Beichen, with a smile on his lips, as if he had something to say.

"Any happy news to say?" Li Beichen's voice was filled with joy and ridicule.

Li Beihong smiled and turned away without speaking.

Jiang Yuebai is now Concubine Jianing. Someone must have reported such a major event as pregnancy to the emperor immediately, right? If he mentioned it now, wouldn't it arouse the suspicion of the emperor's brother? Thinking of his childishness before, Li Beihong suddenly blushed and felt embarrassed.

Li Beichen noticed his younger brother's blush and joked, "Is there anything you can't say to my eldest brother?"

Li Beihong said in his heart, "Yes. A lot. Jiang Yuebai is a topic that cannot be discussed between us."

But he said with a smile, "I just remembered when we were young. Before meeting my father, we would always check to see if we could meet magpies on the road. If we met, it would mean good luck. If not, the situation would be bad."

Li Beichen smiled and said, "It's a good day."

Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Li Beihong took the initiative to leave. He said he was going to leave in a few days and would go to the racecourse to pick up horses in the next few days. Li Beichen proposed to give his mount to his younger brother, but was rejected outright.

Looking at Li Beihong's back, Li Beichen suddenly remembered the mount that had repeatedly injured Chen Ning, and quickly called out to his brother.

"Lao Liu, Chen Ning has a good horse, which was given by Meng Xiang. The horse threw Chen Ning several times. It is so fierce that it is suitable for the battlefield."

Li Beihong stopped and waved his hand to the emperor, "I'd better choose it myself. If I can't choose, let's talk."

He had not forgotten the chance encounter with Chen Ning that night when the Queen Mother forced him to dress up as a woman while shopping.

It was because Chen Ning's crazy horse was suddenly frightened that he had to rescue him.

Later, the Queen Mother deliberately teased Chen Ning and deliberately threw a handkerchief from the carriage.

Go to see Chen Ning alone? Might as well kill him.

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
