Chapter 894 893 [The state of eating soft rice]

Taohua exclaimed, and then said incoherently: "Master, that princess is not good at all. I have heard from good advice that she is even making things difficult for the eldest lady! And Sister Ye and Miss Gu are so good to the master, how can they be allowed to do so?"

When the princess enters the house, she will bully Sister Ye and Miss Gu, and...and Sister Lin..."

Pei Yue said seriously: "If she only bullies you and not others, are you willing to let her into the house?"

Taohua was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "As long as I don't get beaten."

Pei Yue continued to tease, and Lin Shuyue couldn't help but said slightly: "Master, please stop scaring Taohua."

Taohua looked at her half-understanding.

Pei Yue sighed: "How could I scare her? If the person in the palace decrees a marriage, should I resist and disobey the decree? Shuyue, you may be wronged in the future. That princess is irritable and unreasonable, and her status is unknown."

She is so noble that even I can't do anything to her."

Lin Shuyue's beautiful eyes rolled around, and she said softly and softly: "As long as the young master is willing, Shuyue is willing to do it."

Pei Yue couldn't help but laugh. As time went by, Lin Shuyue also showed her naughty side. Now there is nothing she can do about it. Taohua is still more stupid.

However, after Lin Shuyue's interruption, Taohua naturally reacted. She couldn't help but pouted angrily, and said with some fear: "Young master knows how to bully me."

"The young master of your family loves you the most, you shameless little girl." Ye Qi took over the conversation with a half-smile, then looked at Pei Yue and said, "The emperor seems to be destined to win this time."

Pei Yue leaned on his chair in an indistinct manner and said calmly: "Our Majesty is the best at overpowering others. He first used a family banquet to resolve the criticism that he had wronged me, the hero, and then spread the rumors about the marriage.

Let the government and the opposition form a joint force, which forces me to accept this reality. In the eyes of those people, accepting a marriage from the Heavenly Family and giving up military power after a few years is the way to be a minister."

Ye Qi said worriedly: "If you refuse forcefully, it means you are unwilling to let go, you have failed the emperor's kindness, and you have no regard for the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers. This further extends to your disobedience. As long as the halo on you is knocked off, he will deal with you again."

It will not cause turmoil, and even the important ministers who were originally on your side will pursue you and beat you up."

Pei Yue said calmly: "This is the consistent method of the man in the palace. Manipulating people's hearts is his specialty."

Lin Shuyue was very smart. After hearing this, she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Master, do you want to tell the Guangping Marquis Mansion?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "There is no need. Uncle Gu and Sister Zhen'er are both smart people. They know my difficulties and will not doubt my sincerity. Now that the storm is coming, the emperor will definitely keep an eye on me. The more...

In this dangerous moment, we need to be more cautious and low-key. As for Princess Pingyang, haha, even if the emperor puts the knife on my neck, she will not be able to marry into this prince's mansion."

Lin Shuyue was so moved that Taohua burst into tears.

Ye Qi sighed softly and said slowly: "But the emperor will definitely force you to nod, because letting you lean towards the eldest prince and then fettering you with family ties is the only way to resolve the conflict between you. The rumors of the marriage must be caused by the palace.

People have spread, and now everyone in the government and the public thinks this is a good idea. After all, many people think they are considering it from your point of view, and do not want to see the monarch and his ministers break up, and do not want you to be forced into a dead end, but this kind of people are the most difficult to deal with. "

Pei Yue chuckled twice, but there was no smile in his eyes, and agreed: "Yes, in the name of your good, I force you to do things against your will."

Taohua asked in confusion: "Sister Ye, why do those people want the young master to give in?"

The rest were stunned when they heard this.

Seeing that everyone suddenly became silent, Taohua shrank her neck and said, "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing and said: "My peach blossom is still the smartest, and she can tell the truth with one word. You are right, because the emperor is the greatest in the world, how can a minister embarrass the Holy Emperor? In the eyes of most people, my age

Too little credit

If it is too high, if it is not restricted, I will inevitably become a powerful official and threaten the safety of the country. The emperor used the marriage to relieve me of military power, and then used the princess to marry to ensure my safety instead of directly executing me. He has been called a holy king.

What you did.”

The female family members showed their anger invariably.

Lin Shuyue was particularly touched. She recalled the war in the Western Region. If her husband hadn't sacrificed his life, how many innocent people in Lingzhou would have died tragically at the hands of the Xiwu cavalry?

It was clear that he was dedicated to serving the country, but because he worked too hard, he fell into danger. What a helpless and tragic ending?

Ye Qi looked up at Pei Yue and said softly: "This is almost a dead end. If you insist on your will, not only will you completely lose the emperor's trust, but you will also make all the officials stand on the opposite side of you. Pei Yue, I

I know your thoughts are on us, but you should also trust us, even if you let that princess enter the house..."

Pei Yue interrupted her very rarely and said very firmly: "There are some things that I can be willing to accept, but there are some things that I can't do. If I can't even achieve peace of mind at home, why do I need to risk my life outside?"

Lin Shuyue glanced at Ye Qi gratefully, because if she didn't speak first about this matter, she would have absolutely no way to persuade her, so she said to Pei Yue gently: "Master, we really don't mind."

Pei Yue said with a gentle but unquestionable attitude: "Shu Yue, there is no need to say any more."

Lin Shuyue smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."

Seeing that they were worried, Pei Yue stopped trying to be pretentious and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the emperor's skills are indeed powerful, I already have a way to deal with them. He knows that I have a very irritable temper and will always be angry.

There is a possibility of overturning the table, so first

He hinted at the night banquet in the palace, and then used rumors to build momentum, in order to soften my temper and make me willing to follow his plan. But before I expressed my surrender, he would not directly decree the marriage, because at that time

There is no room for change.”

He paused and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone: "It's still a tug-of-war right now. You really don't have to worry. Just trust your husband as before, okay?"

Lin Shuyue said: "Yes, young master."

Taohua nodded vigorously.

Ye Qi had no choice but to put aside his worries for the time being and reminded: "There will definitely be trouble in the court meeting tomorrow. You should be careful not to fall into the emperor's way."

Pei Yue stretched out and said confidently: "Everything is as I expected. By the way, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning. Shall I go to Ruixiang Courtyard to sleep tonight?"

The last syllable rose, and he looked straight at Lin Shuyue, looking at her with a smile on her face.

However, Ye Qi interrupted: "Come to my place after dinner."

"Huh? Okay!"

Pei Yue seemed to suddenly become energetic. Lin Shuyue and Taohua couldn't help but purse their lips and chuckle, and Ye Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Since that unforgettable night in Puqi City, Pei Yue tried to sneak into Ye Qi's bedroom in the middle of the night countless times on his way back to Beijing, but was thrown out without exception. Although he is now considered one of the best in the world

The master's cultivation was always inferior to Ye Qi's, and he was worried about really angering Ye Qi, so he could only suffer from hunger and hurt the Moon God.

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden turn of events.

The night was silent, and the lights in the Hou Mansion were bright. Until he walked into Qingya Xiaozhu, Pei Yue still couldn't calm down. There was a weird smile on his face, which made the maids want to laugh but dare not laugh. At the same time, they were a little scared and curious.

.

"Can you stop smiling like an idiot?"

Ye Qi gritted his teeth and his pretty face turned red.

How could she not know what this guy was hiding?

Pei Yue coughed twice, and the two maids left with understanding. Then they saw him coming to Ye Qi as fast as lightning, opening his hands and taking her into his arms.

"Don't be ridiculous, I called you here because I have a serious matter to discuss." Ye Qi pushed his chest with both hands and said while holding back her shame.

Pei Yue didn't make any drastic moves, he just rested his head on her shoulder, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Qidao: "Let me go first."

Pei Yue said: "I don't."

Ye Qi said helplessly: "Why are you becoming more and more like a child? Where has Mr. Pei, who is not angry and proud in front of outsiders, gone?"

Pei Yue said slyly: "Actually, what I want most is to have a relationship with you..."

"Pei Yue, I really have something serious to do." Ye Qi exhaled like blue, but fortunately there was no anger in his eyes.

Pei Yue then let go of his hands, walked to the bed and sat down, and said honestly: "You tell me."

Ye Qi came to the table, poured two cups of tea, and asked softly: "Do you still remember the last time I told you about the money?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Remember, but this is not a big trouble. Now Duzhong has raised nearly two million taels, and announced that all the money will be invested in Lingzhou, but in fact he asked Wang Yong to bring 500,000 taels there first.

It’s enough to cover the first phase of investment. The remaining silver will be sent to the south through secret channels.”

Ye Qi sat down at the table, frowned slightly and said, "For a stall as big as Lingzhou, five hundred thousand taels will definitely not be enough."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I already have a solution. Anyway, being in these industries makes people jealous, so why not kill the rabbits and solve the problem together."

Ye Qi thought for a moment and said, "That's still not enough. What Mr. Xi needs is an astronomical figure."

Before Pei Yue could continue to speak, she slightly lowered her eyebrows and said, "Pei Yue, I told you before that I have a sum of money at Taiping Bank."

This sentence brought Pei Yue back to the time when they first met a few years ago. After discovering the open-pit coal mine in Shouyang Mountain and hearing his grand idea, Ye Qi took the initiative to help. Later Pei Yue realized that the money

It must be Ye Qi's dowry, so he was naturally more moved and made up his mind not to use it.

After all, it would be left to him and Ye Qi's children.

At this moment, hearing Ye Qi's old story brought up again, Pei Yue said with emotion: "You and I are one, so logically I shouldn't refuse, but after all, it is your private money, and you also know that the amount of money needed in the south is not a small amount...

…Wait a minute, you don’t mean to say…”

Looking at Ye Qi's bright eyes, Pei Yue's voice gradually became lower.

Ye Qi said softly: "That sum of silver is two million taels."

Pei Yue opened his mouth wide.

He worked hard to get the Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan, but in the end he only raised close to this amount. Although it was only liquid money on the books, it also showed how rich Ye Qi was.

Ye Qi explained: "After the Ye family failed in the competition, the ancestors who were lucky enough to survive hid their wealth, and then transferred it to Taiping Bank through various means over the past hundred years. I have been fighting with the bank these days.
To be continued...
