Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Ju, and I was a general under the previous Marquis of Jing'an."

"Your Majesty, my name is Li Heng, and I was also a general under the previous Marquis of Jing'an!"

"Your Majesty, my name is He Shu, and I was the former staff member of the Marquis of Jing'an."

In the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, after expressing his loyalty to Ye Chen.

The eight strong men behind Di Qing began to introduce themselves.

Then, Di Gui took eight people and left the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to go out of the city to select suitable people to enter the palace tomorrow.

"Mian'er, I will return to the palace first."

Ye Chen finished dealing with everything and turned to Qin Man.

He was already planning to leave.

"No, your majesty, won't you stay a little longer?"

Hearing this, Qin Man felt a little reluctant and blurted out.

Ye Chen looked at Qin Meng in confusion and said, "Mian'er, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I mean, it's already noon. I've already had some food and wine prepared. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, well, if Your Majesty has something urgent to do, then, then I won't delay Your Majesty."

Qin Man felt a little embarrassed, her pretty face flushed, but she lowered her head and said.

"Oh, I see. It just so happens that I have some free time, so I'll excuse myself for interrupting you."

Ye Chen smiled slightly. Since a beautiful woman invited him, he would naturally not refuse.

Not to mention, he also wanted to get close to Qin Man.

After all, in order to completely subdue the people of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Qin Man, the only bloodline of the Jing'an Marquis, naturally had to be won over.

Moreover, Ye Chen had no intention of rejecting this pure-looking beauty.

Upon hearing this, Qin Man was overjoyed and immediately brought Ye Chen to the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion.

there.

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion have already prepared the meal.

The fat sheep were divided, some bread, and warm wine.

Although, there was no luxurious meal.

But Qin Meng has shown her utmost sincerity.

After all, there really isn't much delicious food in Dayu these days.

The imperial meals that Ye Chen ate were mainly steamed, roasted, and boiled.

But after Ye Chen sat down, Qin Man temporarily retreated.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Qiu suddenly took off the silver hairpin, walked up and put it into the wine glass in front of Ye Chen.

"Qiu'er, you don't have to do this."

Ye Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful. I don't doubt Miss Qin, but if any servants in the mansion are plotting something bad, Miss Qin might be implicated."

Shen Qiu seems very persistent and serious, which makes him seem quite unapproachable, but he also has an iceberg-like beauty that is extremely stunning.

Ye Chen also felt that what Shen Qiu said made sense, so he let her do as she pleased.

When Shen Qiu quickly finished testing the poison, Qin Man also came back with a copper basin in her hand.

"Your Majesty, try this."

Qin Man placed the copper basin in the middle of the room and opened the lid.

Ye Chen immediately smelled a rich aroma and instantly realized that the basin was filled with chicken soup.

The chicken was stewed for a long time and turned into a golden color.

Qin Man stretched out her jade arm and scooped a bowl of soup for Ye Chen. Then she looked at Shen Qiu, scooped a bowl for herself, and took a sip on her own initiative.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, picked up the bowl of chicken soup and took a sip, finding it extremely sweet.

Quite smooth.

"Delicious."

Hearing this, Qin Man's brows lit up with joy.

"Mian'er, this soup really suits my taste. Your cooking skills are even better than the royal chef's."

Ye Chen praised sincerely.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, a smile appeared on Qin Man's pretty face.

"Pity."

Ye Chen suddenly shook his head again, looking regretful.

"But, what's the pity?"

Qin Man was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"I won't be able to drink this soup every day after I return to the palace."

Ye Chen’s face was full of emotion.

Compared with later generations, this chicken soup does not contain too many seasonings, but it does bring out the original flavor of the chicken, and even has 50% of the flavor of later generations' chicken soup.

Moreover, he had already guessed something when he saw the happy look on Qin Man's face.

It is very likely that this chicken soup was made by Qin Man herself.

Ye Chen deliberately praised in a roundabout way.

"this."

Qin Man's face suddenly turned red, and her tone became as light as a mosquito's: "Your Majesty, if you really want to drink it, I, I, I can have someone make it for you at any time."

"Ha, that's great."

Ye Chen smiled and then said, "By the way, Meng'er, the title of Marquis Jing'an has been vacant for three years. In the past, Marquis Jing'an was wronged, so the title was naturally out of the question. But now, the injustice of Marquis Jing'an has been redressed, and as a woman, you cannot inherit the title."

"So, do you have any young talents that you like?"

Ye Chen suddenly said.

Ye Chen undoubtedly likes Qin Man, a pure beauty, but he also wants to know whether Qin Man really has a lover.

"what?"

Qin Man was startled immediately, her pretty eyes widened as she looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

"What's wrong? Meng'er, if you really have someone you love, you can tell me."

Ye Chen looked serious. If Qin Man really had a lover, he could choose to compete fairly with her.

Ye Chen doesn't like to use force on beauties, especially beauties of Qin Man's level.

"I, I, I didn't."

"Oh, Meng'er, you don't have a sweetheart?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

"No, I, I do."

Qin Man was a little embarrassed, her pretty face flushed, and she was a little restless.

"Oh, who is that person?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, his heart tightening.

"Yes Yes."

Qin Man was about to say something, but when she met Ye Chen's gaze, she found it extremely difficult to speak and was very anxious.

Apart from Ye Chen, there has long been no room for a second person in her heart.

But Dayu was extremely strict about the relationship between men and women.

It was too difficult to get Qin Man to say in public that she liked Ye Chen.

Not to mention, Ye Chen asked this as if he wanted to marry her off.

This made her very anxious.

It also put a lot of pressure on her.

Just when she couldn't help but want to speak out her heart.

Zhang Cheng, an old servant of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, suddenly walked in with a commoner.

"Your Majesty, this young man said he is from the Imperial Guard and has an urgent matter to report!"

Zhang Cheng knelt on one knee and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's attention was immediately drawn to it.

The imperial guard disguised as a civilian hurried forward and presented a piece of brocade.

Ye Chen took the brocade and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up immediately.

"Mian'er, I have something urgent to do. I have to go back to the palace first. We can talk later."

Hearing this, Qin Man opened her mouth slightly, but immediately realized that something big had happened.

Watching Ye Chen walking away, Qin Man wanted to stand up and see him off, but Ye Chen walked so fast that he almost disappeared from her sight.

When she chased out, Ye Chen had already left the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and got on the carriage.

She watched the carriage leave with mixed feelings.

Ye Chen's question seemed to be arranging a marriage for her, which made her feel a little irritated and anxious.

The prince brother who had been kind to her in the past, and now the wise and powerful emperor, overturned the case of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion.

Ye Chen has left an indelible shadow in her heart, but how can a girl like her say these things?

Moreover, she thought of Shen Qiu who had always been by Ye Chen's side.

Even a little inferior.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Shen Qiu is absolutely stunning, and she has always been with Ye Chen, inseparable from him.

Moreover, in terms of family background, a declining Marquisate like the Jing'an Marquisate cannot compare with those powerful families.

Can Ye Chen really like her?

Qin Man felt that she had no advantages at all and lowered her head in inferiority, but she didn't realize that she couldn't see her toes at all.
