Chapter 4: Huaiyang (4)

After cleaning up Huaiying for the night that day, the edict of the queen mother flew to Yefu the next day, and Ye Huaiyang went to the palace to meet him. Crescent was about to dress her up, but she chose the most inconspicuous underskirt. On his body, he casually pressed two Begonia flower beads to his ears and went out.
"Miss, are you too vegetarian?" Crescent asked, following her closely.
"The more vegetarian, the better." Ye Huaiyang boarded the carriage without looking back, and then leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He had his own calculations, but he did not reveal a word.
Chu Jinglan just returned to the court, the two in the East Palace must have no spare time to care about other things, but now they suddenly called her into the palace, mostly because they knew about the flower viewing banquet. Even so, I was afraid that I could not escape the scolding. Wouldn't she add a flare to her if she was still dressed up as a beautiful girl?
Thinking of this, she rubbed her eyebrows, Jiao Rong exuded a little coldness.
Although Ye Huaiying was a little stupid, she didn't have any intentions after all. She rushed to someone if she thought about it. It was frank, but what happened to the King of Law? Even if you hate it any more, you shouldn't use such heavy words, not to mention that Ye Huaiying is driven to a dead end, but where can his own face be better to see? It's terrible!
Anyway, she has written down the account, and will settle with him slowly if she has a chance.
However, even if her heart burns up again, she still has to stop at the gate of the palace, and even to hide this ugly thing innocently, and can't teach outsiders to look down on the Ye family. This is her responsibility in power and housekeeping. Where.
The autumn wind is bleak, the willows are drooping, and after the clear moat, the inner city of the palace is close to you, the overwhelming golden bricks and green tiles are dazzling, but Ye Huaiyang walks all the way to the front of Hanzhang Palace and the entrance without squinting. The waiting little yellow door immediately bowed to give in when she saw her coming, and raised his right arm to push open the heavy palace door.
"Girl Ye is here, please here."
The scarlet door will be opened, and there will be a burst of Yingyu laughter from the inner hall, Ye Huaiyang's steps are slightly stagnant, and he turns his head and asks: "But the ladies are asking the Queen Mother?"
A deep smile hung on Xiao Huangmen's wrinkled face, and said, "No, it's the young ladies from Wang, Xie, and Bai who came to listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother."
Ye Huaiyang's eyes condensed, without saying much, he raised his foot and walked in, but he sneered in his heart.
What listening to the teachings is that the Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of the topic and even beat them together, to warn the big and small families in the capital, don't think about secretly tuned to win over the forces! It seems that if you don't bother to think about getting out of here, thinking about it, she stood behind the peony screen and took a deep breath, and then stepped into the hall.
"The courtier sees the empress dowager, the empress is fortune and peace."
The chattering and laughter in the hall stopped abruptly because of her. Several eyes shot over. She immediately became the focus. Perhaps the dress was too plain, and there was a sneer from the top. Don’t think about it, dare to be so presumptuous in front of you. Yes, there is no second person except Wang Wanting.
The Queen Mother sitting on the main seat lightly looked away, took the tea cup and flicked it, and then took a sip, her posture is graceful and luxurious. When the heat is exhausted, she said to Ye Huai, "Flat, Give a seat."
Ye Huaiyang grabbed his gratitude and immediately sat down on the chair of the teacher at the bottom right, next to Xie Yun, the daughter of Xie's parents.
"I remember my sister loves dense colors, why is she dressed so plainly today? Looking at it from a distance, I thought it was an ignorant palace lady who broke in."
Wang Wanting covered her mouth and chuckled, and the golden step on her head trembled, making her more like a proud peacock. Relying on being the queen mother's niece, she brazenly attacked Ye Huaiyang, just to frustrate her usual arrogance.
Ye Huaiyang's complexion was calm and unwavering, she raised her cherry lips and said lightly: "I don't look like my sister has a calm mind. When I am tired of the new and tired of the moment, I will follow my own preferences without hesitation, but let my sister see a joke."
"Really? My eyes are clumsy. My younger sister is a frank person." Wang Wanting snorted with her lips curled.
After a round of rumors and swords, someone outside the hall visited again, but the hall knew nothing.
Xiao Huangmen squinted his eyes and looked at his beard, and suddenly his body tightened. The look of leaning against the old and selling old when he was facing Ye Huaiyang suddenly disappeared. When the visitor approached, he bowed and said: "The slave has seen the prince."
Chu Jinglan didn't look at him and didn't ask him to get up. He was straight, staring forward, and his low voice escaped from his throat: "This king is here to meet the queen mother."
The little yellow door made a difficult case: "The empress dowager is admonishing several noble ladies right now, look at the lord..."
"It's okay, this king can wait."
He speaks clearly, like cutting gold and breaking jade. It is extremely crisp and neat. Although there are only a few words, he can't refute it. The little yellow door wanted to ask him to sit in the side hall temporarily. After hearing the sound and discerning the situation, he opened his tongue. Can Lianhua's mouth seemed to be filled with mud, and he couldn't even say a word, so he had to stand in front of the door, not daring to approach it rashly.
At this time, the conversation in the hall continued, and the whole word entered Chu Jinglan's ears.
"My sister is doing good alone, but it's a pity that she is also the head of the family. The sisters in the clan have misbehaved, shouldn't they also be disciplined, so as not to hurt her reputation."
Ye Huaiyang lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wang Wanting, then lowered again, and the long, butterfly-like eyelashes cast a thick shadow, covering the disgust hidden in the phoenix eyes.
"My sister deserves to go to study too much, and what she said has benefited me a lot."
"You less pretend to be garlic!" Wang Wanting heard her sarcasm, and stood up with her fists clenched, "Who didn't know that your Ye Family's daughter was openly tempting Brother Lu Wang at the flower viewing banquet? It's all from the clan, teach it. The daughters are different. Some people are naturally accustomed to clinging to the camp. Aunt, if I say that these people should be punished severely, otherwise, how can they be taught?"
The queen mother's brows moved almost imperceptibly, and her expression became more and more unfathomable. The old and Mi Rui's eyes just moved from Wang Wanting's sideburns and taught her to feel cold and dare not say anything.
Sure enough, the words were in the middle of the night. She curled her pink lips and said smoothly: "My sister is right, I think I should be punished, but after all, not everyone like us can often listen to the teachings of the empress dowager. After a few days of punishment, what's the use? So I think it is better to cure the symptoms than cure the root cause."
Wang Wanting didn't realize that she had fallen into her trap. She didn't even notice the wink from her mother. She spoke quickly and blurted out: "What do you think is a permanent cure?"
Ye Huaiyang raised his face, then swept his sleeves and got up. Lian Bu moved to the mother's back and said: "The courtier heard from the family brother that the emperor has always had the idea of ​​setting up a school for girls. However, the natural disasters have continued over the years. Although the servant girl is the daughter of a boudoir, she always respected the emperor Meiji, but now the concubine has committed a big mistake, the servant girl feels that she should play a part in regulating women's virtues, so she begs the empress dowager to be quasi and let the Yeshi serve the silver Wanliang is for the emperor to build a female school."
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Huaiyang, her eyes were like a knife, and she brushed her slender body every inch, but she didn't seem to feel it. She hung her eyes down, with proper manners, and went low into the ground. Wrong place.
God knows, the emperor didn't mention this matter at all.
The ladies here don’t know this, nor do any servants know it, only Ye Huaiyang and the Queen Mother know. No matter how long the white money will be collected by taxes, the emperor with a high hat just to build a women’s school has to wear it. After all, now the female officials entering the dynasty are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. If there are women's studies to regulate it, it will be a blessing for the community.
Ten thousand taels redeemed a handle with a bad virtue, she was making a deal with the queen mother.
How could the scheming queen mother fail to understand what Ye Huaiyang meant? Although she was very angry, she couldn't refute her in front of everyone. After all, the emperor had been dragged into the water by her, and there was no room for reversal, so she had to go down this step.
"You have a heart."
Ye Huaiyang gave a blessing again and said: "Thank you for the empress dowager’s praise, the courtier is not ashamed to be a servant. It is fortunate for the courtier to contribute to the community, but the Ye family’s abilities are limited and may not be able to succeed. I also hope that the great families will do their best. Help."
A single sentence pulled all those who were sitting on the sidelines off their horses.
The queen mother suddenly squinted her eyes and swept over several people in the audience, as if thinking about something, the figure on the lower right suddenly moved, and Xie Yun carried the lake-blue skirt and knelt beside Ye Huaiyang.
"The minister and daughter are not talented, and I would like to follow the example of Yejia's sister and serve as a reward for the emperor.
After saying this, the hall fell into silence for no reason.
Bai’s speechlessness shouldn’t be due to lack of money, but that the people who came here could not be the master, so it was embarrassed to be caught in the middle. Wang Wanting’s speechlessness must have realized what a clever game she had helped Ye Huaiyang set up, and her aunt And all of you at the scene got into it. At this moment, your intestines are all green with regret, and I dare not say any more.
Just at this extremely embarrassing moment, the queen mother actually laughed.
"It's not okay to have silver alone. The foundation of learning lies in the teacher. There are many celebrities in the Wang family and the Bai family. This task will be handed over to you."
The two tremblingly knelt down and said: "The courtier obeys orders."
Chu Jinglan, who had been listening silently outside, slowly raised his eyes, and his faint gaze seemed to penetrate the door wall directly into the hall, sliding across the marble steps like the silk satin swinging in the wind, and fell silent.
The woman who was talking in the restaurant yesterday was in the hall, still so eloquent, and seeing two people from the night family in one day, it seemed that she was really doomed.
As if to confirm what he wanted, the hall returned to silence, and the doors opened in front of him. Several distinguished ladies came out one after another. They were slightly stunned when they saw him, and fled one after another as if they had encountered a snake-worm plague. Chu Jinglan turned a blind eye, stepped into the hall with a cold face and hands, unexpectedly bumping into a thin shadow on the corner.
She was polite and graceful, and there was a breeze blowing through the hall, blowing her clothes up and down, making her green silk fluttering.
"Ye Huaiyang see the prince."
The sound of the wind whispered, but these words rushed into Chu Jinglan's ears with extreme precision, like flowing water hitting a rock, he couldn't help but stare, the woman in front of him did not put on the pink and white, wrapped in a plain skirt, hands folded in front of him, and his sleeve Dancing in the wind, she stayed still, looking up at him so quietly, but her eyes... seemed a little naked.
It's just like waves.
Chu Jinglan resolutely turned away his gaze and walked towards the hall. The silver-gray robe swayed in an arc in the air, and soon disappeared in the slowly closed door until it closed and disappeared.
Ye Huaiyang stood there stunned for a while, and then smiled to himself, with a slightly astringent expression.
He really doesn't remember her anymore...
