Qi Wushuang caught up with Ye Wuwei near the first major gate of the palace.

Seeing Qi Wushuang running over, Ye Wuwei stopped and waited for him: "Why are you running so fast? Just call me if you need anything."

This amount of exercise was nothing to Qi Wushuang, who had internal strength. He stopped and said:

"Why didn't you see me when you came to the palace?"

"I didn't bother you if there was nothing else."

Qi Wushuang was originally a little angry that Ye Wuwei did not see him when he entered the palace, but after seeing him in person, all the resentment disappeared.

"The housekeeper has cleaned up the palace where I live. I've left the side hall to you. If it's late in the future, you can rest in the palace."

Ye Wuwei automatically ignored the matter of the side hall: "Have all the people in Zhaohua Palace moved out?"

"I kept the eunuchs, and released all the palace maids who weren't taken away. I also brought everyone from Prince Qi's mansion into the palace."

"Xiao He has also entered the palace?"

Qi Wushuang's nerves immediately tensed up: "You care about her a lot?"

"Of course, after all, he's my friend since I came to Qi Dynasty."

Qi Wushuang: "After you arrived at Qichao?"

"Nothing, I just said it casually."

Qi Wushuang stepped forward and took Ye Wuwei's arm: "Come on, follow me to the side hall to take a look. If there is anything missing, ask the housekeeper to fill it for you."

"Let go and I'll go by myself."

Seeing that Ye Wuwei was willing to go with him, Qi Wushuang let go of his hand.

As they walked, Qi Wushuang asked about the demolition, and Ye Wuwei told him every detail.

After arriving at the palace where Qi Wushuang lived, Ye Wuwei looked at the empty space where the plaque was placed and asked, "The palace hasn't been named yet?"

"No. How about you get one for me?"

"With the little knowledge I have, what good name can I come up with? Stop laughing at me."

Qi Wushuang took Ye Wuwei directly into the side hall.

Although it is called a side hall, it actually has several rooms, including a main hall, a side hall, a study, a bedroom, a cloakroom, and a washroom.

The house was decorated with great care, basically according to Ye Wuwei's preferences. Every piece of furniture was both valuable and simple and practical.

Moreover, the furniture and daily necessities are also complete, nothing is missing.

As soon as he entered the cloakroom, Ye Wuwei saw a mirror as tall as a person.

Ye Wuwei asked in surprise: "The mirror is made?"

"Well, the glass workshop has made it according to your method. Are you satisfied with it?"

Although the glass is not as clear as modern ones, it is already very good to be able to make it look like it is today.

"It looks good to me. Is this mirror selling well?"

"Yes, mirrors of all sizes are selling well."

Seeing Ye Wuwei happy, Qi Wushuang's mood also improved, and his face was full of smiles.

Ye Wuwei touched the mirror and asked, "How much does a mirror of this size cost?"

"One thousand taels of silver."

"What?"

"One thousand taels of silver."

Ye Wuwei took a deep breath after making sure that he had heard correctly: A mirror sold for 700,000 yuan?

In modern times, merchants would be afraid of being beaten to death!

This is why in the Qi Dynasty, things are valuable because they are rare!

Ye Wuwei carefully withdrew his hand from the mirror: Don’t break it, it’s worth 700,000 yuan!

Seeing Ye Wuwei like this, Qi Wushuang laughed:

"It's just a mirror, is it worth you treating it with such care?

If it breaks, we can just ask the workshop to make another one, which is not that difficult, right? "

Whenever Qi Wushuang is with Ye Wuwei, he starts to talk a lot.

"You know it's not that difficult, so why do you dare to sell it so expensively?"

"Anyway, the ones who can afford it are not the common people, but the nobles. Taking their money and using it on the common people is just robbing the rich to help the poor."

That seems to make sense!

Ye Wuwei looked at the cloakroom again. The hangers "designed" by Ye Wuwei were full of various clothes, all in Ye Wuwei's size.

There are also various accessories such as jade hairpins, headbands, belts, jade pendants, etc.

Although Ye Wuwei didn't care much about clothes, he still felt valued.

Seeing Ye Wuwei's expression, Qi Wushuang reached out to pull Ye Wuwei: "Come to my bedroom and take a look."

This time, Qi Wushuang pulled not Ye Wuwei's arm, but his hand.

Ye Wuwei glanced at the hand that Qi Wushuang was holding and pulled it out.

Qi Wushuang seemed unaware and led the way.

Qi Wushuang's bedroom is decorated in a similar way to Ye Wuwei's side hall. The cabinets in the cloakroom are exactly the same, and there is also an identical mirror.

Ye Wuwei looked in the mirror. Qi Wushuang was standing behind him, half a head taller than him, and his aura seemed to wrap him up.

Noticing that Ye Wuwei was looking at him, Qi Wushuang also looked towards the mirror.

When his eyes met Qi Wushuang's in the mirror, Ye Wuwei subconsciously avoided it. Therefore, he did not notice that Qi Wushuang showed a meaningful smile after he avoided his gaze.

After having dinner with Qi Wushuang, Ye Wuwei did not stay in the palace but returned to his own home.

Ye Wuwei didn't know whether he ignored Qi Wushuang's arrangement of him to the side hall intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems like it should be this way!

Qi Wushuang's thoughts were much more complicated:

Wu Wei did not refuse to live in the side hall. Was it a hint that he could take a further step?

Just thinking about this, Qi Wushuang's whole body became boiling with excitement.

But if that's the case, why doesn't Wuwei want to stay?

Thinking that Ye Wuwei subconsciously avoided his sight in the mirror, Qi Wushuang decided to find another opportunity to test it.

Qi Wushuang's heart was always wavering between yes and no, until Chu Fuchi sent someone to ask him to review the memorials that he had not finished reviewing before, Qi Wushuang stopped thinking about it.

……

**

On the morning of the second day, Ye Wuwei tidied himself up a bit, making himself look clean and tidy, and then went to Hongfu Restaurant.

The agreed time was noon, but Ye Wuwei arrived a little early.

When Ye Wuwei arrived, Hu Zhiwei had already arrived. Seeing Ye Wuwei, he took him to the private room.

Ye Wuwei looked around and said, "Didn't they say that Hongfu Restaurant was doing great business? Why aren't there any customers?"

Hu Zhiwei smiled and said, "Hongfu Restaurant is owned by the Qi family and managed by Mr. Qi Sanye. It is not open to the public this morning."

Ye Wuwei didn't say anything. After all, "being willful because of money" is not new, whether in modern times or in ancient times.

The waiter in the shop poured a pot of tea for the two of them, brought a few plates of cakes and then left.

Hu Zhiwei wanted to make friends, and Ye Wuwei was not the kind of person who would put on airs, so the two of them seemed to get along quite well during their casual conversation.

Hu Zhiwei asked Ye Wuwei about the demolition, and Ye Wuwei told him everything he could without reservation.

"So, the housing prices in the west of the city will continue to rise?"

"That's inevitable. However, none of your generals have houses in Chamdo, and even if new houses were built in the west of the city, there wouldn't be enough for them."

Hu Zhiwei thought for a moment and asked, "How will those mid- and low-ranking generals and soldiers be resettled?"

This was the first time that someone, apart from the people from Qi Wushuang's faction, took the initiative to ask about the placement of the low- and middle-level generals and soldiers in Andu. Ye Wuwei's impression of Hu Zhiwei instantly improved a lot.

"Your Majesty has made arrangements, but we have to take it one step at a time."
