Chapter 647 Your Past, My Youth

The breeze blew by, the yellow sand faded away, and everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened, except for Su Yuanren's face full of horror.

Queen Mother Yu said a few polite words to ease the awkwardness and also gave Su Yuanren some face, and the banquet officially began.

Feng Zhaolian started talking to Ye Wenyan again, continuing the previous topic. She told Ye Wenyan -

"Someone from your Northern Qi is colluding with the Su Yuan people, because three years ago when the Crown Prince Su Yuan proposed to me, he sent a batch of gifts to our house. My mother found something in it. She said it was not a product of Su Yuan, but rather looked like something from Northern Qi. I remember it was an embroidery. The pattern seemed to be the life of the people in the Central Plains, but it didn't look like it, because there were some things in it that I didn't recognize, and my mother had never seen it. My mother said that if there were people on this continent living like that, they could only be the people of Northern Qi. It's a pity that I didn't recognize you at that time, and my own past life memories hadn't awakened, so I didn't take the painting to heart, and I didn't pay much attention to Northern Qi. Now even if I think about it, I can't remember what was embroidered.

But Ah Yan, this is a message, because my mother said that neither Guiyue nor Northern Qi had established diplomatic relations with Su Yuan, and even if there were merchants communicating with each other, it would be impossible to trade such valuable items. Since he could send that embroidery to my house as a betrothal gift, it must be worth a lot of money, after all, the other things are also very valuable. Therefore, we guess that the person who has dealings with Su Yuan on the Northern Qi side must be an important person. Being able to send such a thing means that there must be a lot of transactions between them. "

Ye Wenyan narrowed his eyes, and a name instantly popped up in his mind: Quan Ji.

At present, it seems that the person who is exposed is Quan Ji. But there is another possibility...

Her mind sank, and the premonition she had long ago came back to her. The power scheme was obvious, and everyone knew that the regent had the most power. If anyone wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, it would definitely be this prince. But there was a saying in the past life that the more obvious something is, the more likely it is to be cannon fodder.

Those who really have evil intentions will carefully hide in the most inconspicuous corners, doing the most upright things, but with the most filthy and dirty hearts. She really wants to know if there is such a person in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but unfortunately she has not found out yet.

"Ayan, do you have any doubts about anyone?" Feng Zhaolian asked, "For example, the regent, could it be him?"

Ye Wenyan thought about it and nodded, "It's possible. He and Crown Prince Su Yuan knew each other. I heard from the Emperor that when Su Yuan came to Northern Qi this time, he had a very pleasant conversation with the Regent at the first meal. Come to think of it, he is the Regent, who is half a head above the Emperor, and all the real power in the court is in his hands. Although the Emperor has grown a lot in the past six months, he still has to listen to the Regent in handling important court affairs. How could such a person not have some big ideas, and how could he be isolated and helpless." "Then what do you think he wants to do by making friends with the Su Yuan people?" Feng Zhaolian pondered and analyzed, "I don't know how much you know about Su Yuan, but I still have a certain understanding of them. That small broken country is a tiny place, and there are strong winds all day long, blowing sand everywhere in the city. So people over there cover their faces with a layer of veil when they go out, which makes them quite mysterious. Now the veils are also divided into different levels. But I think that thing was originally used to block the wind and sand.

There are not many people in their country, not as many as a province in Northern Qi, and not comparable to Guiyue. And there are more women than men, which is very strange. Eight out of ten newborns are girls. So in Suyuan, whether it is common people or nobles, every man will marry several wives. Even if they don't want to marry, those girls will try their best to marry themselves off, and even don't ask for betrothal gifts and bring their own dowry.

My father once said that the reason why Su Yuan had so many women was because of the influence of those spices. They didn't want it to be like this, but there was no way to change it. Su Yuan's incense was related to the inheritance of the high priest's lineage, so no one could change it. The whole country was shrouded in fragrance, and gradually it affected the offspring. Ah Yan, the high priest of Su Yuan does not refer to a certain person, but a group, a big family. They have been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said that there are secret books left by their ancestors that can let them get rid of the shackles of spiritual power and use illusions without spiritual power. "When she said this, she leaned closer to Ye Wenyan's ear, "Just like you."

Ye Wenyan used flowers to activate spirits. Apart from Shi Liyuan, only Feng Zhaolian and Fourth Miss Ye knew about this.

Feng Zhaolian's words reminded her that since she could use external objects to generate spiritual power, why couldn't others do it?

But if the other party is from Suyuan, this will be a major event that concerns the whole world.

The banquet was halfway through, and the guests had drunk a lot of wine. Lou Qinghan didn't know who had gotten him drunk, and his face was a little red.

Only A'man remained calm. She refused to drink no matter how anyone persuaded her to. Her eyes would occasionally glance at Ye Wenyan's face.

Feng Zhaolian stopped pestering Ye Wenyan and went to talk to Miss Ye Si. The two hit it off immediately and had the same temper, so they simply started drinking, one glass after another, and finally they just held the jar of wine.

Quan Qinghua couldn't persuade Feng Zhaolian, and Ye Feizhou couldn't stop Fourth Miss Ye either. In the end, Queen Mother Yu said, "Since everyone is here, let them drink. If they really drink too much, they can go back to Changxin Palace with me."

After hearing this, the two people who were drinking became even more unscrupulous. Those who were trying to persuade them to drink stopped and just let them drink as much as they wanted.

Quan Qinghua sat in Feng Zhaolian's seat, stared at A Man for a while, and then said to Ye Wenyan: "Your jewelry is selling well, but I think the feedback you want is not whether the jewelry is selling well or how much money you can make."

Ye Wenyan laughed, "What kind of feedback does the Fourth Prince think I want?"

Quan Qinghua shook her head, "I don't know, and I don't want to know, but the high priest of Su Yuan seems to be very interested in you tonight." "Yeah!" Ye Wenyan just said "Yeah" and didn't continue the topic, just drinking.

Quan Qinghua waited for a while and saw that she didn't say anything, so he stopped talking about the jewelry and asked her another question: "Are you going to interfere in the affairs of Prince Su's Mansion? Do you know what I'm referring to?"

Ye Wenyan tilted his head to look at him, and after a while he smiled and said, "Brother, why are you asking me such a question? I am just a little girl, how can a girl get involved in the affairs of the court? Besides, that matter is also considered as the Quan family's internal affairs, and it is you, the princes, who should consider whether to intervene or not."

Quan Qinghua also smiled, "There is no point for us princes to interfere. There is only one person who should really consider this matter, and that is the current emperor. That's why I asked you, he keeps calling you sister, he must want your protection."

"But I can't protect him." She looked at Quan Qingcheng. "People have to grow up eventually. I can protect him for a while, but I can't protect him forever. I have my own things to do. I can't protect this dynasty for him all my life. And he will rule the country one day. He can't just be a little emperor writing letters all his life. If he wants to take care of that matter, he can do it in his own way. If he doesn't want to take care of it, then he has chosen to compromise for the face of the Quan family. No matter which choice he makes, I will support him."

“What if he wants to manage it, but doesn’t have the ability to do so?”

"Then wait until you have the ability to think about this matter. If he has no ability in his life, then he will not be able to sit on the throne securely." She spread out her hands, palms up, and showed them to Quan Qinghua, "Brother, everyone has only one pair of hands, we use our own hands to do our own things, as for other things, helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. I certainly hope that he can sit on the throne securely, but if he doesn't live up to his expectations, I can't force him to sit on the throne. But he is my brother, this matter cannot be avoided, so even if one day he is driven off the throne, I will catch him steadily below, and then hold his hand, and lead him to live out his life in peace."

She was silent for a long time, and Quan Qinghua also did not speak for a while. When they finally responded, they looked at each other at the same time, then smiled at each other. She said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for always helping me." He said, "Thank you for always helping Qingcheng."

Quan Qingcheng is the thought that connects her present life to her past life, and also the shadow of his former youthful innocence.

"You have arranged everything. Where are you going?" he asked Ye Wenyan, "Will you come back?"

She thought for a moment and pointed in a direction, "If we go over there, we should... be able to come back!"

"I should come back, but that means there is a chance that I won't come back."

"Everything has its own chances. There are thousands of possibilities in this world."

"Then if you don't come back, I will leave the money you earned from selling jewelry to Qingcheng."

"Okay." She smiled like a child, "Thank you, senior brother. Although I have angered you before, you are still willing to help me, which shows that you are a kind person. I will always remember you." "...When do you plan to leave?"

"After the palace banquet!" Ye Wenyan said truthfully, "After the Yanhua Palace banquet. I will make some arrangements before I leave, but it is impossible to take care of everything, so if Lin'an has any changes by then, I hope that Senior Brother can lend a helping hand to Qingcheng."

"Don't worry." He raised his glass to her and clinked the two glasses together as a sign of agreement.

As the night deepened, the welcoming banquet came to an end.

The fourth lady of the night was drunk and insisted on living with Feng Zhaolian in the Chenwang Mansion. Quan Qinghua did not take her with him and just helped Feng Zhaolian walk out. Unfortunately, Feng Zhaolian did not cooperate and struggled to go back with him.

He had no choice but to pick the person up and quickly leave Yuhua Pavilion.

A palace maid saw Su Yuanren off, Quan Qingyun was responsible for sending the Ye brothers and sisters out of the palace, and Zhuier stayed with Ye Wenyan.

Quan Qingcheng looked at Ye Wenyan, a little nervous, "I know my sister has something to say to me, let's go to Chengguang Palace!"
