Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 118

Ye Xizhao's expression straightened, and then his eyes darkened.No matter what it is, Yu Shaoyun still wants to share the emperor's favor with others.

Yu Shaoheng just told her the news he got, and didn't want to talk about it.

Ye Xizhao also quickly changed the topic, "Why do you let me go to the Xiao Mansion when you can do it?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Sometimes I would like to get something for nothing." He then hugged Sister Xin, "Go and change."

"it is good."

Before dinner, the husband and wife went to Mrs. Tai's room, teasing Sister Xin and calling Ye Xizhao mother a few times in front of the old man.

Mrs. Tai looked at Ye Xizhao's joy from the bottom of her heart, and she was very happy, "Look, I'm as happy as a child." Then she said, "Since I'm looking forward to it so eagerly, how much do I pamper Xin on weekdays?" Wouldn't it be good for a little sister?"

Ye Xizhao smiled and shook his head, "How can I do that? You, Master Hou, and your relatives and friends are all spoiled so much, and I will let it go. Isn't sister Xin a tricky and willful person when she grows up?"

Mrs. Tai had to admit that this made sense.

In the evening, after Ye Xizhao took a bath, he remembered the Zhou Zhou gift that Xiao Xun and Qiao An gave to Xin, so he opened it to look.It is an ancient book, a set of four treasures of study for children, and a set of small sterling silver tableware and cooking utensils.The ancient books were given by Qiao An, and the other two were naturally given by Xiao Xun.

Ye Xizhao played with the tableware and kitchen utensils, and felt that these things were made small and exquisite, which was actually very pleasing to the eye.No need to think about it, Sister Xin will definitely regard these as toys for knocking and beating.

With this in mind, I put everything back into the brocade box and put it in the cabinet.It's best to wait until the same day to let Sister Xin see the things you need for the week.Adults have fun, children have a novelty.

After Yu Shaoheng coaxed sister Xin to fall asleep, he ordered the wet nurse to carry her to the wing.

Seeing him walk in the door alone, Ye Xizhao couldn't help but patted the small pillow and quilt on the bed, "I already made the bed for Miss Xin."

"She has to sleep with the nurse. Don't spoil her with that."

Ye Xizhao laughed, "I don't think you have the nerve to say don't spoil her."

Yu Shaoheng undressed and went to bed, put Xin's quilt aside, and slid his hand to the place where she was most ticklish, "Say one more thing?"

Ye Xizhao immediately begged for mercy, "Stop talking, can I make a mistake?"

"It's always wrong, but you never change it." Yu Shaoheng easily placed her on his waist, and looked at her innocently, "I'll leave it to you tonight, it depends."

"...." Ye Xizhao held back a smile, and tugged at the silk clothes, "Then you wait." Yu Bi sat by the bed, raised his hand to untie his clothes.

Yu Shaoheng reached for her waist.

But Ye Xizhao suddenly got off the ground, put on his shoes and ran, his voice full of smiles, "My solution is that you sleep by yourself."

"It's against you." Yu Shaoheng laughed angrily, went down to catch up with her in three steps and two steps, and when he picked her up and brought her back to the bed, he had already bit her ears and rubbed her, his voice full of laughter, " Are you still running?"

Ye Xizhao smiled, wrapped his body around him, "Who made you expect me to do my best?"

She turned her face sideways and kissed the skin of his neck, absorbing the warmth of his body.

"Little slob." He patted her buttocks, his voice lowered, revealing pampering.

On the second day, the news of Tang Hongxiao's impeachment of An Guogong had already spread among the servants of the powerful family, and some things about him were passed from the mouths of the servants to Ye Xizhao's ears.

After he returned to Beijing, he readily accepted the task of compiling books, but refused to accept other official positions, and had no intention of participating in politics.

After he started to edit the book, he remained indifferent to the large sum of money that King Jing intended to buy him. He recorded all expenditures in detail with his staff and handed them over to the household department, Prince Jing, and the emperor for review.The recruitment of manpower is also based on talent and not on direction.

This made King Jing call him back just to embarrass the emperor and Ye Shuxuan, but he could no longer accept him as a confidant.

If these are true, it is probably the reason why the emperor used it.Ye Xizhao also hoped that these would be Tang Hongxiao's way of dealing with the world in the future, that he would only make the best use of his talents and not get involved in power struggles.

The little maid came in and sent the roster of guests who will come to the Hou's mansion tomorrow, "Master Hou said, Madam's estimation is wrong, there must be a lot of guests tomorrow, and Master Hou has no intention of declining, and he will not refuse those who come uninvited." Therefore, what Hou Ye meant was to ask Madam to instruct the steward of the kitchen to prepare more banquets."

Ye Xizhao frowned, "Didn't you tell him, it's just his first birthday, what's the waste?"

"Master Hou said what to do."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, he muttered angrily: "How many times have I told you—Sister Xin is only one year old, and she won't be able to remember it if you give her a long time!"

Unexpectedly, the little servant girl said again: "The servant also took the courage to tell the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye said that it is good for the young lady to be happy tomorrow."

Ye Xizhao stroked his forehead.

In her opinion, Sister Xin's first birthday should follow the old style of the Hou Mansion without extravagance, but Mrs. Tai and Yu Shaoheng disagreed, saying that the more lively the better, and that many people had already inquired about it in private Yes, tomorrow will definitely come - they are ready to come.Of course she didn't want to contradict Mrs. Tai, so she had to discuss it with him, and deliberately let the little girl pass on the message, thinking that he would never directly deny herself in front of the servants.The results of it?The little maid had already run back and forth three times, but he was still unmoved.

Ye Xizhao threw the roster on the case, "There is a quota for the expenses of the inner house, where can I fill in the extra money?!"

The little servant girl wanted to laugh but didn't dare, she cleared her throat softly and said, "Master Hou said that he will order Chang'an to bring the bank notes later."

Ye Xizhao frowned, "Why are you so stubborn this time? Who doesn't just invite relatives and friends over when the child is one year old? Sister Xin is like this. In the future, if the second and third masters have another child, do they have to do the same at the first birthday?" If not, what should the second and third wives do if they go to fight with Mrs. Tai?"

The little servant girl's expression became serious, because she was young, she didn't think about it so much, and now Ye Xizhao said that she just realized it.

Ye Xizhao thought for a moment, then stood up, "Forget it, I'll talk to Lord Hou." Then he turned around and went to a little silver picket to reward the little maid, "You've been running back and forth for a long time, go back and have a rest. .”

The little maid bowed her knees to express her thanks.

Ye Xizhao specially took Sister Xin to Yu Shaoheng's study.

On the way, Sister Xin insisted on walking on the ground.

Sister Xin had been lazy the past few days and wanted to be hugged every now and then. Ye Xizhao was happy to see the success, so he followed her to protect her on the road.

Sister Xin felt tired, so she asked Ye Xizhao to hug her for a while, and when Ye Xizhao was tired, she went down to the ground again.so repeatedly.

The nurse and Xia He followed behind the mother and daughter, going forward from time to time, smiling and wanting to hold Miss Xin for Ye Xizhao, but Miss Xin refused.The two of them could only watch with wry smiles.

When they arrived at the study courtyard, Ye Xizhao walked slowly beside Sister Xin, and sighed at Sister Xin who was staggering: "What do you think you are trying to do? I am tired from holding you, and walking like this with you is more difficult." Tired, with this effort, I would rather walk five miles by myself."

Sister Xin ignored her, just looked at the door curtain of the study hall and smiled, walking a little faster.

Ye Xizhao sighed again, and simply stopped talking.In front of the steps, regardless of sister Xin's desire to go up the steps by herself, she hugged the little man outside the curtain, and then put it down.

Sister Xin turned her head to look at the steps.

For Sister Xin, climbing the stairs was a fun thing, but Ye Xizhao couldn't afford it anymore. He bent down to hold Sister Xin, and told a face-faced boy who was guarding the door, "Still stunned!" do what?"

The little fellow claimed yes, but hesitated for a moment before closing the curtain.

When entering the door, Ye Xizhao heard someone stepping into the courtyard quickly, calling out in a low voice, "Ma'am..."

The voice is Chang'an, I don't know what's up with him.Let's leave Sister Xin to Yu Shaoheng first. While thinking about this, she took Sister Xin into the hall.

Only then did I realize that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit dignified.

Looking up, Yu Shaoheng was sitting on the grand teacher's chair behind the desk.There was also a man sitting on the grand master's chair opposite him.

The man was dressed in civilian clothes.

The back of the man seemed familiar.

Ye Xizhao didn't have time to investigate carefully, so he hugged Sister Xin, and said, "I didn't know that Lord Hou had a guest, so I barged in..."

But the words were interrupted by Sister Xin's calling her father twice.

Also at this moment, the man stood up and turned to look at Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao froze.

It was Tang Hongxiao.

How long have you not seen him?Ye Xizhao couldn't remember.She didn't give herself time to be dazed, and lowered her eyelids.

Tang Hongxiao also cupped his hands and bowed deeply at the same time, "I have seen Mrs. Yongpinghou."

Yu Shaoheng came to Ye Xizhao at this time, and took Sister Xin with a smile.

Ye Xizhao returned the salute calmly, "I have met Mr. Tang."

She hadn't thought about seeing him again, and she couldn't have imagined that it would be like this when she saw him again.

Tang Hongxiao said to Yu Shaoheng again: "If Master Hou has nothing else to do, I will leave you as an official."

Yu Shaoheng nodded, "Alright, I'll come to ask for advice later if I have something to do." His voice was considered gentle.

"Don't dare. Say goodbye."

Ye Xizhao stepped aside to make way, and then saw Yu Shaoheng carrying Sister Xin to the door.

Before Yu Shaoheng came back, she narrowed her eyes and pondered——

Feng Huixuan, the daughter of Duke An's mansion, had an accident in the Prime Minister's mansion, and was taken by Du Liang to Shandong as a concubine.

Tang Hongxiao once played to impeach her father, but now it is Feng Huixuan's father who is impeaching.

Both things are related to Xiangfu.

The prime minister's house is her natal family, and these two matters are closely related to Yu Shaoheng, so he should indeed ask about it in time.Don't say that recuperating from illness is fake, it is a real thing, and the relevant people should be invited to the Hou's mansion to inquire.He has enough reason and ability.If you are still sitting at home at this time, and only order your subordinates to investigate secretly, it will be strange if it falls into the eyes of outsiders.

After sorting out this unexpected scene, Yu Shaoheng turned back.

Ye Xizhao said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? It made me rush in rashly."

"I just had this plan in advance, and I can't be sure that Mr. Tang will come today." Yu Shaoheng's voice was very calm, and the three words Mr. Tang were as light as clouds, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.

"Did he say why?"

Yu Shaoheng pointed to the stack of letters on several books on the case, "You will know it after reading it."

"Can I take it back and see?"

"nature."

When Ye Xizhao was about to get the letter, he remembered his original intention, turned around and sat down where he was originally seated, and looked at him angrily, "I'm here to ask you why you must make Sister Xin's birthday known to everyone tomorrow. .”

Yu Shaoheng was out of shape, "What's wrong with tomorrow's day? Why are you afraid that people will find out?" He said and put Xin'er on the drunkard's chair, leaning over and rocking gently.Sister Xin sat obediently and cooperatively.

Ye Xizhao had no choice but to explain his hesitation: "The Fuzhong will have children in the future, what should I do then? There is no precedent for this."

"They naturally have to follow the old rules." Yu Shaoheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes darkened, "How did you and the child get to where you are today? You don't need to compare yourself with others. It may be vulgar, but my mother and I still have to do the same."

"...." Only then did Ye Xizhao understand Mrs. Tai and his intentions.

The decency that mother and son insisted on giving to Sister Xin was actually given to her.She only cared about the impact of this matter on the inner house, but didn't think about it.

Ye Xizhao's eyes were sore and unbearable, he lowered his eyes, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and when he raised his eyes again, gave him a smile, "I'll listen to you."

Only then did Yu Shaoheng's smile clear up, "When you go back to your room, take the few books under the letter with you."

"What book is it?" Ye Xizhao casually took out a book and flipped through it. It turned out to be a three-character classic, and the handwriting was written by Tang Hongxiao.

Yu Shaoheng looked down at Sister Xin, "Master Tang gave it to me, and I decided to accept it."

"...." Ye Xizhao really didn't understand, "You are... why do you seem to be a different person to Tang Hongxiao?"

"Hasn't he changed too? What I did was beneficial to you and me, how could I not treat each other with courtesy." Yu Shaoheng was still calm and rational, "Take a step and see."

Ye Xizhao felt relieved, and picked up the books and letters, "You take Miss Xin with you? I only need to bring a little maid back, and I have to tell the stewards to make preparations."

"Ah."

When Ye Xizhao passed by his side, he paused, touched his handsome face, and smiled mischievously, "Don't forget to send me the banknote you should pay, my private money is reserved for Sister Xin in the future Those who make dowry will not fill the shortfall in the inner house for you."

Yu Shaoheng smiled, "It's a long-term thinking. Don't worry."

After Ye Xizhao returned to his room, he put away the books and letters, called a group of stewards to the flower hall, and ordered them to make serious preparations.After finishing these tasks, I took out the letter to read.

Those letters were written by An Guogong's uncle Feng Huirong to Tang Hongxiao, sorted by date, and if you think about it carefully, the first letter was written before Tang Hongxiao impeached the prime minister.

It can be seen between the lines that Feng Huirong has an admiration for Tang Hongxiao, and he believes that Tang Hongxiao can keep this secret even if he doesn't have the right time to impeach An Guogong, even if he can't quickly avenge his mother.

The first letter detailed the reasons why he suspected that his biological mother was killed by his stepmother; the second letter talked about the coffin being opened for an autopsy with the help of others, but the coffin was empty; the third letter asked Tang Hongxiao , if impeachment cannot be done right now, is there any trustworthy and selfless governor who recommends him.

It is reasonable to find a spokesperson who you think you can trust to help you redress your grievances.Besides, at that time Feng Huirong was most annoyed with An Guogong, and he was afraid that he would rack his brains every day to find a way out.

In the later letters, Feng Huirong wrote to Tang Hongxiao to inquire about the current situation, but he did not forget Tang Hongxiao who was down and out at that time.

This may be one of the reasons why Tang Hongxiao impeached An Guogong after so long, when he ignored government affairs.

The timing can be regarded as the best, and it can also be regarded as the most risky, because the emperor had the heart to let An Guogong enter the court again the day before.Now it seems that it is most appropriate for Tang Hongxiao to do this matter - the emperor wanted to protect An Guogong, but because of Tang Hongxiao's reasons, he couldn't do without Tang Hongxiao, at most he called Tang Hongxiao to his eyes and reprimanded him.

As for Tang Hongxiao's other reasons for impeaching An Guogong...Ye Xizhao refused to think about it, and let Yu Shaoheng take a step and take a step.

What she needs to keep in mind is the result of Feng Huixuan's incident, and she is full of hope that Xiao Xun can give her a situation where she can feel at ease and not be troubled again.
