After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Qi Yue took a fancy to Ye Wuwei on the first day he arrived in Chamdo, but at that time Qi Yue wanted to snatch Ye Wuwei into the princess's mansion.

However, after learning that Ye Wuwei was Qi Wushuang's subordinate, Qi Yue gave up the idea of ​​robbing Ye Wuwei.

But at the former emperor's funeral, Qi Yue saw Ye Wuwei again.

At that time, Ye Wuwei was not only still good-looking, but also became Qi Wushuang's confidant.

At that time, Qi Yue's heart moved again.

After the court announced the official appointments a few days ago, Ye Wuwei was promoted to a new elite:

The third rank county earl and the third rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.

At the age of twenty, he has achieved such success on his own. There is no one else like him in the whole court.

Therefore, when Qi Yue heard Queen Zhuang talking about getting married just now, she thought of Ye Wuwei.

Hearing Qi Yue say that she had taken a fancy to someone, Qi Yuye didn't care: "If you like someone, just take him to the princess's mansion."

"Who is it? What's his family background?"

Empress Zhuang is not as simple-minded as Qi Yuye. If Qi Yue could snatch the person away, why would she bother to recruit a prince consort?

Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's the newly promoted County Earl and Minister of Works, Ye Wuwei."

"It's him? Absolutely not!"

The one who spoke out in opposition was Qi Yuye.

"why not?"

“Everyone is privately saying that he was the one who killed my father, so Qi Wushuang made him the county earl.

Otherwise, why did Qi Cheng and Qi Wu, who had followed Qi Wushuang for so many years, not receive a title while he did? "

Qi Yuye guessed correctly that Ye Wuwei killed his father, but he misunderstood the reason why Ye Wuwei was conferred the title.

Qi Yue was dissatisfied: "Didn't the imperial physician say that my father died of convulsions? How can you blame him?"

Seeing that the two siblings were about to quarrel, Empress Zhuang hurriedly tried to dissuade them:

"This matter will be discussed later."

"But even if Yue'er wants to recruit Ye Wuwei as her consort, I'm afraid Qi Wushuang won't agree."

"why?"

"Qi Wushuang clearly wants to make use of Ye Wuwei and will not allow him to marry into the Zhuang family."

"But my last name is Qi, and I'm a princess of the Qi Dynasty."

"But in everyone's eyes, you are a member of the Zhuang family."

Qi Yue didn't say anything, but only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

……

**

Ye Wuwei didn't know that Qi Yue wanted to recruit him as a prince consort, but he soon found out that he had become a hot commodity in the blind date market.

Not long after Ye Wuwei returned home, someone came to visit him.

The person who came was Hu Zhiwei.

Hu Zhiwei is the newly appointed Deputy Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. He is from the faction of General Qi and comes from a middle-class family.

Ye Wuwei was a little surprised, as he and Hu Zhiwei had never had any contact with each other.

"I wonder what the Deputy Censor-in-Chief has to offer?"

"I came here today because of good news."

happy event?

What good news could he have?

Hu Zhiwei looked around Ye Wuwei's residence and saw no signs of a woman living there.

"Minister Ye, I heard that you have been alone all this time?"

"Yes, I didn't know who my parents were since I was a child, and I don't have any brothers or sisters."

"Then you are not married?"

Hearing this, Ye Wuwei roughly guessed the other party's intention, but he still answered truthfully: "No."

"I'm here today to propose marriage to you, entrusted by someone."

Ye Wuwei thought: It’s time for him to get married, but he can’t just marry anyone.

"Deputy Chief Censor, I appreciate your kindness. However, I have lived on begging since I was a child and don't know much about etiquette. I can't marry a lady from an aristocratic family.

I just want to find an ordinary girl who doesn’t despise me and who I like.”

"Didn't Minister Ye say back in Taiji Hall that a hero's origins aren't questioned? Why are you being ashamed of your background now?"

Before coming, Hu Zhiwei naturally asked someone about Ye Wuwei's situation. He knew that Ye Wuwei made a living by begging when he was a child. Therefore, when he saw Ye Wuwei frankly talking about his life experience, he did not look down on him.

"I'm not ashamed of my background, I just know myself. Girls from aristocratic families don't look down on me."

"You are too modest. Today, I am entrusted by Master Qi San to introduce his second daughter to you."

"Master Qi San?"

"Master Qi San is the third brother of the Grand Marshal, but he does not hold a position in the court. Instead, he manages the Qi family's assets.

Because he is the third among the brothers, we all call him Third Master."

"So you came here today with General Qi's approval?"

Seeing Ye Wuwei ask this, Hu Zhiwei thought Ye Wuwei was interested and said hurriedly:

“I asked the general’s opinion, and he had no objection.

Besides, Master Qi Sanye's second daughter is both outstanding in both appearance and character. Why don't you arrange a place to meet her first?"

Ye Wuwei still refused: "I'm busy with the demolition work in the west of the city recently. Why don't we talk about it after this period of time?"

It was no secret that His Majesty wanted to build a new residence for General Andu in the west of the city. Hu Zhiwei had also heard about it and knew that Ye Wuwei was in charge of it.

Therefore, when Ye Wuwei heard this, he did not think he was making excuses, and just said: "Meeting won't take up much time."

"But I have to go to the west of the city to negotiate with the people tomorrow. I don't know when I will be free."

"How about this? I'll set the time for the morning of the day after tomorrow, and the location will be the Hongfu Restaurant on Chengxi Road. You can just treat it as having breakfast with Miss Qi."

Now that things have come to this, it would be too disrespectful to the other party if I refuse again.

Ye Wuwei thought that blind dating was a normal thing in modern times, so he said:

"Then let's have a meal together as you said, but..."

"I understand what you mean. Let's see each other first."

After hearing what Hu Zhiwei said, Ye Wuwei said, "I'll be waiting for you at the Hongfu Restaurant at noon the day after tomorrow."

……

It's not just Qi Yue and Mr. Qi Sanye who are targeting Ye Wuwei, there are also many small and medium-sized families, but they are not as quick as Mr. Qi Sanye.

However, Ye Wuwei didn't know this. He got up early the next day and went to the west of the city.

Changdu was the imperial city, under which was the Changdu Prefecture. The Changdu Prefecture had jurisdiction over fifteen districts and counties, among which the slum area in the west of the city was under the jurisdiction of the Changxi District.

Ye Wuwei first went to the office in Changxi District.

Seeing the "Prince Qi" waist badge and the "West City Demolition" imperial edict that Ye Wuwei took out, District Chief Luo nodded and said:

"I wonder what your orders are, sir?"

"You don't need to do anything today. I will go to the various monasteries to discuss the demolition myself.

I came here today to inform you first."

"West City Demolition" was the first matter concerning the people's livelihood after Qi Wushuang ascended the throne. Whether it was done well or not would set an example for the future development of new cities. Ye Wuwei did not want to delegate the task to others.

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, District Chief Luo said, "Then I will accompany you to meet the various monasteries."

"Let's forget about it today. You can go with me tomorrow."

After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, District Chief Luo agreed.

After Ye Wuwei left, District Chief Luo was busy reporting to his backers.

This slum area in the west of the city is divided into six wards, each with about a hundred households, and each ward is managed by a ward chief.

Like the Li Zheng, the Fang Zheng is mainly responsible for managing the household registration and taxation within the area. Although he is just a minor official, he has a certain prestige and voice in the area.

Ye Wuwei went to Li Fangzheng's house first.
