I change the country to blue
064. Ji Yun's First Move
When Yan Qingting learned that their monarch had left the palace with Zhou Xi, he was furious and looked at the piles of memorials in front of his desk with disgust. He thought that if the broken desk wasn't too heavy, he would have tossed it over. Express your dissatisfaction with this.
"Yan Shoufu, this is not acceptable!" An old minister of the cabinet stood up from his seat and walked in front of Yan Qingting, frowning, "The former praying monarch was the one who subjugated the country, and now living in the palace has already violated the ancestral system." Not to mention, to see the miasma he has tossed in the harem in the past three months is simply detrimental to my country's face."
"Yes, Yan Shoufu." Another courtier came over with a solemn face, "And I think, this emperor indulged the former Lord Qi too much!
The imperial hospital caused him a mess some time ago, then the imperial doctor Luo is a celebrity in front of the emperor, didn't he make the emperor blame the former Lord Qi? "
"If you ask me, it's not very good-looking for Mr. Yaoqin to live in the harem, but at least he doesn't make trouble or make troubles. Let's just turn a blind eye." The minister who was sitting apart from Yan Qingting turned around. Looking at him from side to side, he smiled wryly, "But the former Lord Qi, he doesn't have the consciousness of a subjugated king at all. The emperor has ruined so many government affairs just because of him in the past few days!"
Yan Qingting silently looked at the colleagues in the cabinet who had endured for nearly three months and finally broke out, and frowned slightly. He also felt that the emperor had gone too far this time.But judging from his understanding of the emperor over the years, it seems that it is not just a reason to pamper Zhou Xi.
Rationally, it is admitted that Ji Yun's actions may have other motives, but emotionally, Yan Qingting still has no way to accept it.If it continues like this, wouldn't their monarch return to the state of not caring about government affairs?
"What everyone thinks is also what I am worried about." Yan Qingting expressed his position aloud, sighed deeply, and said, "Although we are anxious, the Queen Mother does not show up for such a big commotion in the harem. It's not easy to control the emperor's harem, it's called overstepping."
"We can't interfere in the harem, then the government can always do it!" Another minister stood up angrily, blushed and looked at Yan Qingting with a thick neck, "The emperor has repeatedly delayed the government for the sake of the former Qi monarch. Sovereign, why don't we go up and let the former Lord Qi move out of the palace, the worst thing is to let someone watch over him, and let no one make trouble."
"If you say that..." The minister sitting next to Yan Qingting murmured in a low voice, then looked up at them and said, "Before the rebel Ji Fanxu's incident in the harem has been vacant, and since the settlement of Ding Jie's incident, the emperor It’s been almost three years since I haven’t been drafted, so it’s time for a general election.”
"This method is good!" One of the ministers' stern face softened a little, "In the past three years, the emperor has only mentioned one concubine Lan, and there are indeed not many concubines in the harem. The emperor is now in his prime, but there are only two heirs. .”
"If the harem is enriched, the focus of the emperor's attention will also shift." The face of the most angry minister before also eased, looking at Yan Qingting with a strong eagerness in his eyes.
Seeing these ministers who were still full of righteous indignation just now became excited after mentioning the "draft", Yan Qingting, who had his own considerations, narrowed his eyes. Although his family's heirs are not small, but there are more boys, and now they are not of the right age to enter the palace. woman.
In addition, he was in love with Concubine Lan in the case of Ji Fanxu before, and at that time he also made up his mind to support Concubine Lan, a concubine who had no support in the previous dynasty.Because he saw Ji Yun's trust in Concubine Lan, and later Ji Yun handed over Concubine Lan to raise Ji Xianglan, making it clear that he wanted to embrace her as his queen.
But now if the draft...
No one can guarantee whether Ji Yun will change his mind or change his opinion.In the harem, a Concubine Lan has quietly appeared among this group of people, so who can guarantee that the group of people who enter the palace later will not have a Concubine Red or a Concubine Green?
Although Yan Qingting did not betray his heart, he is one of the few ministers in the court who can gain Ji Yun's trust, but accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, sitting in the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, which is almost below one person and above ten thousand, to save his life There can never be too many barriers.
"Yan Shoufu! Yan Shoufu?" The minister sitting next to Yan Qingting looked at him suspiciously, and tentatively said, "We are waiting for your statement. How about letting the Ministry of Internal Affairs start preparing for the draft?"
"The draft has a lot to do with it." Yan Qingting looked at his colleagues standing across from him, and decided to reject this thankless job, "I don't think it's up to us to decide. In the end, it's also about choosing a concubine for the emperor. I think Still need to inform the emperor."
"It's better to ask the queen mother again, enriching the harem will help the emperor to have children, the queen mother should agree." A minister suggested, showing excitement.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter later, everyone should deal with the matter in hand first!" Keeping everyone's performance in mind, Yan Qingting waved his hands calmly, sat up straight again and began to look at the picture on the table. Memorial.
Drafting is definitely a thankless job, Yan Qingting stared at the booklet in his hand and silently made a decision in his heart.Whoever wants to say this, he will never touch Ji Yun Nilin anyway.
It has been three years since his temperament has changed drastically as a monarch. In the past three years, he has never mentioned the matter of drafting. If it is necessary to say that two years ago was to prepare for this year’s attack on Daqi, then he has successfully divided Daqi with Daxi now. , and the follow-up finishing work has been carried out for three months, and it is no longer as bad as before.
If Ji Yun has the idea of enriching the harem, he can definitely bring it up. The primary election will take a long time, and this period of time will not delay any matters between Ji Yun and the courtiers in Beijing and China.
So Ji Yun hasn't even mentioned it until now, obviously he doesn't want to be drafted.As for the reason, Yan Qingting frowned unconsciously, probably it was the former Qi monarch, Zhou Xi who Ji Yun was accompanying now.
Yan Qingting has been an official in the court for decades, and now he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, the position that other ministers are eyeing. What he thinks is somewhat different from what other people think.
Of course he also has the stubbornness and pedantry of a literati, but he also deeply understands what kind of person Ji Yun is.You can't disobey, you can't make decisions for him, and you can't coerce.
Yan Qingting was going to be an official in the court for another four years. For Yan Qingting, who had been in office for decades and his official career was almost smooth, he didn't want anything to go wrong in the last four years.He wants to draw a happy ending for his life, not to mention that he and Ji Yun get along very well now, the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, this is what Yan Qingting wants.
Besides, Concubine Lan is now firmly in the back seat, and Ji Xianglan is the heir apparent chosen by Ji Yun, so there is no problem even if there are few children.Left and right Ji Xianglan is a sincere person, and he is not dull in dealing with things. Now under Lan Fei's teaching, he is more clever than before.As the heir to the throne, Ji Xianglan's current development trend is very good.
So Yan Qingting decided not to get involved with these people's draft proposals, and whoever wants to mention it to Ji Yun should go out and show off. He just needs to be the chief assistant of his cabinet honestly, and "work hard" to deal with the mess left by Ji Yun That's it.
Sooner or later, Ji Yun's behavior of indulging Zhou Xi now will reveal the answer.
At this time, Ji Yun and Zhou Xi, who were the subject of discussion, were marching to the hotel of Yan Qingting's old friend.
Yan Qingting, who was plotting against Ji Yun, never expected that Ji Yun was plotting against him at this very moment.
"You said this is the tavern opened by that old man Yan?" Zhou Xi looked curiously at the thriving tavern not far away, turned his head to look at Ji Yun, and sighed after a long while, "You said... are women powerful? Looks stronger than a man? The old bustard of Huaying Building... also propped up a palace by himself."
"This has nothing to do with men and women." Ji Yun knew that Zhou Xi had thought of the matter of Daqi before, and took his hand hanging by his side, squeezed it soothingly, and said, "It's the deep-rooted concepts in your hearts that are the only ones that can help you." Thinking that women are weaker than men, but it’s not true. When people are pushed to a certain level, in order to survive, men and women are the same.”
"Ji Yun..." Zhou Xi looked at Ji Yun with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do you always have completely different views from ours?"
"I call it advanced thinking." Facing Zhou Xi's doubts, Ji Yun stretched out his hand and pinched his face without changing his face, and said seriously, "How can we accept those difficult ministers in the previous court?" Submissive post?"
"Guest officer, go inside!"
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the tavern, a waiter rushed out, bowed to the two, put a cloth towel on his shoulders and led them in.
"Do you two sit on the first floor or the second floor? The second floor has a better view."
"Then let's go to the second floor!" Ji Yun replied with a smile after hearing Xiaoer's suggestion.
"Okay! Two people on the second floor, please this way." Xiao Er took the two of them to the stairs and stopped going up, but stood aside and said "please" to them.
"Master!" Ji Yun and Zhou Xi had just stepped onto the wooden plank on the second floor when they heard a surprised female voice in front of them, "Master, there are many people on the second floor, why don't you sit in the backyard?"
"No problem." Ji Yun waved his hand with a smile, "Just find us a seat by the window, and I'll bring Xi'er to taste your food, don't be restrained."
"Then you come with the servant."
When the woman heard Ji Yun's words, she glanced at Zhou Xi calmly, made a gesture of leading them, then turned around and led them to the place with the best view on the second floor.
"Is this old man Yan's girlfriend?" Zhou Xi looked curiously at the woman walking in front, and whispered, "The charm is still there."
"How can old man Yan be so precious and open a tavern with such a good business in the capital of our country, how can he be so handsome?" Ji Yun looked at Zhou Xi with a smile.
"What's the matter, it's not your girlfriend!" Zhou Xi curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he heard the praise in Ji Yun's words.
"Young Master, you two should sit here!" The woman moved aside to leave the seat in front of her, and said with a smile, "You can just see the Yueqi Lake in the city, and the view is the best in the building."
"Okay, then sit here!" Ji Yun took Zhou Xi to a seat before looking at the woman waiting on the side, and said with a smile, "Give one of your family's signature dishes to my Xi'er to taste, and you can also Take a break, sit down and talk."
"Yes!"
What Ji Yun said after that made the woman feel a thump in her heart. She turned around and gestured to Xiao Er who was not far away, asking him to go to the back kitchen to order food, and then sat opposite Ji Yun and Zhou Xi.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing the uneasiness hidden under the woman's calm face, Ji Yun smiled, "It's just talking about family matters, old man Yan didn't make any mistakes."
"Yes, I'm worrying too much."
Looking up at Ji Yun with an apologetic smile, the woman took the teapot from Xiao Er and poured tea for Ji Yun and Zhou Xi.
"Xi'er has been in our Yi country for three months, and he hasn't been able to leave the palace for a walk. He happened to have nothing to do today, so I took him out to have a look at our Yi country." Ji Yun smiled and took the woman's hand. Teacup, knocked on the table, and said, "It just so happens that I have been thinking about the food here since I came to your tavern that day, so I brought Xi'er to try it too."
"Young master likes to eat. It's my blessing. If you think about it again next time, I'll send someone to tell you that my family will let the kitchen prepare it and send it back to you."
Perhaps it was Ji Yun's few explanations that helped, the woman was not as nervous as before.As Yan Qingting's best friend, she had heard of Zhou Xi a long time ago, and now that Ji Yun called him "my Xi'er" so affectionately, she confirmed her guess about Zhou Xi in her heart.
"You have a heart." Hearing the woman's answer, Ji Yun nodded in satisfaction, and seeing Zhou Xi drank the tea, he took the teapot and refilled it, and said as if he didn't care, "Old man Yan's birthday will be in one month. I thought that old man Yan has worked too much for me on weekdays, so I, the master, should give him a big gift to celebrate my birthday."
"Young master is serious." The woman rubbed her teacup hand for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "It is Qingting's blessing to be able to share the young master's worries."
"Since this is the case, I, the master, have to show something, so that old man Yan can not be in vain."
Ji Yun still had a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhou Xi playing with the potted plants on the windowsill, he reached out and grabbed his restless hand back, and held it tightly.
"I heard old man Yan say that you have known each other for 20 years. It's not a short time. How many 20 years can you have in your life?"
Ji Yun's words made the woman feel a little uneasy, she opened her mouth to say something, but because she couldn't figure out what Ji Yun was thinking, she didn't dare to answer, so she could only smile along with it.
"Old man Yan is not too young now. In a few years, he will definitely propose to me to return to his hometown for the elderly." Sensing Zhou Xi's dissatisfaction, Ji Yun patted his hand reassuringly, and continued to look at The woman said, "I don't approve of old man Yan going back to his hometown at this old age. The road is bumpy and his body will definitely not be able to bear it. Let him stay in Beijing. There is no one to take care of him. You also know that his wife died early."
"Master..."
At this moment, if the woman doesn't know what Ji Yun wants to say, she is really stupid.But she understood Ji Yun's intention, but she couldn't figure out the reason why Ji Yun did this suddenly, so she looked at Ji Yun with a little timidity in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous, we're just chatting about homework."
Ji Yun comforted him softly, and it happened that Xiao Er brought a pot of bone soup at this time, so he let go of Zhou Xi's hand and got up to serve the soup, and thoughtfully put a spoon in the bowl in front of Zhou Xi.
"Drink some soup first. The soup here is full of flavor. This bone soup is the most authentic."
Smelling the aroma of the soup in front of him, Zhou Xi couldn't speak out in front of outsiders to protest Cai Ji Yun's restriction of his activities just now, so he just kept silent, picked up a spoon and drank it one bite at a time.
"Where did we talk just now?" Ji Yun comforted Zhou Xi, turned his head to look at the woman across from him, paused for a moment, and sighed, "By the way, I want to rectify your name, and I also give it to Old Man Yan." Surprise, I, the master, will also be a matchmaker, what do you think?"
When Yan Qingting learned that their monarch had left the palace with Zhou Xi, he was furious and looked at the piles of memorials in front of his desk with disgust. He thought that if the broken desk wasn't too heavy, he would have tossed it over. Express your dissatisfaction with this.

"Yan Shoufu, this is not acceptable!" An old minister of the cabinet stood up from his seat and walked in front of Yan Qingting, frowning, "The former praying monarch was the one who subjugated the country, and now living in the palace has already violated the ancestral system." Not to mention, to see the miasma he has tossed in the harem in the past three months is simply detrimental to my country's face."
"Yes, Yan Shoufu." Another courtier came over with a solemn face, "And I think, this emperor indulged the former Lord Qi too much!
The imperial hospital caused him a mess some time ago, then the imperial doctor Luo is a celebrity in front of the emperor, didn't he make the emperor blame the former Lord Qi? "
"If you ask me, it's not very good-looking for Mr. Yaoqin to live in the harem, but at least he doesn't make trouble or make troubles. Let's just turn a blind eye." The minister who was sitting apart from Yan Qingting turned around. Looking at him from side to side, he smiled wryly, "But the former Lord Qi, he doesn't have the consciousness of a subjugated king at all. The emperor has ruined so many government affairs just because of him in the past few days!"
Yan Qingting silently looked at the colleagues in the cabinet who had endured for nearly three months and finally broke out, and frowned slightly. He also felt that the emperor had gone too far this time.But judging from his understanding of the emperor over the years, it seems that it is not just a reason to pamper Zhou Xi.
Rationally, it is admitted that Ji Yun's actions may have other motives, but emotionally, Yan Qingting still has no way to accept it.If it continues like this, wouldn't their monarch return to the state of not caring about government affairs?
"What everyone thinks is also what I am worried about." Yan Qingting expressed his position aloud, sighed deeply, and said, "Although we are anxious, the Queen Mother does not show up for such a big commotion in the harem. It's not easy to control the emperor's harem, it's called overstepping."
"We can't interfere in the harem, then the government can always do it!" Another minister stood up angrily, blushed and looked at Yan Qingting with a thick neck, "The emperor has repeatedly delayed the government for the sake of the former Qi monarch. Sovereign, why don't we go up and let the former Lord Qi move out of the palace, the worst thing is to let someone watch over him, and let no one make trouble."
"If you say that..." The minister sitting next to Yan Qingting murmured in a low voice, then looked up at them and said, "Before the rebel Ji Fanxu's incident in the harem has been vacant, and since the settlement of Ding Jie's incident, the emperor It’s been almost three years since I haven’t been drafted, so it’s time for a general election.”
"This method is good!" One of the ministers' stern face softened a little, "In the past three years, the emperor has only mentioned one concubine Lan, and there are indeed not many concubines in the harem. The emperor is now in his prime, but there are only two heirs. .”
"If the harem is enriched, the focus of the emperor's attention will also shift." The face of the most angry minister before also eased, looking at Yan Qingting with a strong eagerness in his eyes.
Seeing these ministers who were still full of righteous indignation just now became excited after mentioning the "draft", Yan Qingting, who had his own considerations, narrowed his eyes. Although his family's heirs are not small, but there are more boys, and now they are not of the right age to enter the palace. woman.
In addition, he was in love with Concubine Lan in the case of Ji Fanxu before, and at that time he also made up his mind to support Concubine Lan, a concubine who had no support in the previous dynasty.Because he saw Ji Yun's trust in Concubine Lan, and later Ji Yun handed over Concubine Lan to raise Ji Xianglan, making it clear that he wanted to embrace her as his queen.
But now if the draft...
No one can guarantee whether Ji Yun will change his mind or change his opinion.In the harem, a Concubine Lan has quietly appeared among this group of people, so who can guarantee that the group of people who enter the palace later will not have a Concubine Red or a Concubine Green?
Although Yan Qingting did not betray his heart, he is one of the few ministers in the court who can gain Ji Yun's trust, but accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, sitting in the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, which is almost below one person and above ten thousand, to save his life There can never be too many barriers.
"Yan Shoufu! Yan Shoufu?" The minister sitting next to Yan Qingting looked at him suspiciously, and tentatively said, "We are waiting for your statement. How about letting the Ministry of Internal Affairs start preparing for the draft?"
"The draft has a lot to do with it." Yan Qingting looked at his colleagues standing across from him, and decided to reject this thankless job, "I don't think it's up to us to decide. In the end, it's also about choosing a concubine for the emperor. I think Still need to inform the emperor."
"It's better to ask the queen mother again, enriching the harem will help the emperor to have children, the queen mother should agree." A minister suggested, showing excitement.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter later, everyone should deal with the matter in hand first!" Keeping everyone's performance in mind, Yan Qingting waved his hands calmly, sat up straight again and began to look at the picture on the table. Memorial.
Drafting is definitely a thankless job, Yan Qingting stared at the booklet in his hand and silently made a decision in his heart.Whoever wants to say this, he will never touch Ji Yun Nilin anyway.
It has been three years since his temperament has changed drastically as a monarch. In the past three years, he has never mentioned the matter of drafting. If it is necessary to say that two years ago was to prepare for this year’s attack on Daqi, then he has successfully divided Daqi with Daxi now. , and the follow-up finishing work has been carried out for three months, and it is no longer as bad as before.
If Ji Yun has the idea of enriching the harem, he can definitely bring it up. The primary election will take a long time, and this period of time will not delay any matters between Ji Yun and the courtiers in Beijing and China.
So Ji Yun hasn't even mentioned it until now, obviously he doesn't want to be drafted.As for the reason, Yan Qingting frowned unconsciously, probably it was the former Qi monarch, Zhou Xi who Ji Yun was accompanying now.
Yan Qingting has been an official in the court for decades, and now he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, the position that other ministers are eyeing. What he thinks is somewhat different from what other people think.
Of course he also has the stubbornness and pedantry of a literati, but he also deeply understands what kind of person Ji Yun is.You can't disobey, you can't make decisions for him, and you can't coerce.
Yan Qingting was going to be an official in the court for another four years. For Yan Qingting, who had been in office for decades and his official career was almost smooth, he didn't want anything to go wrong in the last four years.He wants to draw a happy ending for his life, not to mention that he and Ji Yun get along very well now, the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, this is what Yan Qingting wants.
Besides, Concubine Lan is now firmly in the back seat, and Ji Xianglan is the heir apparent chosen by Ji Yun, so there is no problem even if there are few children.Left and right Ji Xianglan is a sincere person, and he is not dull in dealing with things. Now under Lan Fei's teaching, he is more clever than before.As the heir to the throne, Ji Xianglan's current development trend is very good.
So Yan Qingting decided not to get involved with these people's draft proposals, and whoever wants to mention it to Ji Yun should go out and show off. He just needs to be the chief assistant of his cabinet honestly, and "work hard" to deal with the mess left by Ji Yun That's it.
Sooner or later, Ji Yun's behavior of indulging Zhou Xi now will reveal the answer.
At this time, Ji Yun and Zhou Xi, who were the subject of discussion, were marching to the hotel of Yan Qingting's old friend.
Yan Qingting, who was plotting against Ji Yun, never expected that Ji Yun was plotting against him at this very moment.
"You said this is the tavern opened by that old man Yan?" Zhou Xi looked curiously at the thriving tavern not far away, turned his head to look at Ji Yun, and sighed after a long while, "You said... are women powerful? Looks stronger than a man? The old bustard of Huaying Building... also propped up a palace by himself."
"This has nothing to do with men and women." Ji Yun knew that Zhou Xi had thought of the matter of Daqi before, and took his hand hanging by his side, squeezed it soothingly, and said, "It's the deep-rooted concepts in your hearts that are the only ones that can help you." Thinking that women are weaker than men, but it’s not true. When people are pushed to a certain level, in order to survive, men and women are the same.”
"Ji Yun..." Zhou Xi looked at Ji Yun with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do you always have completely different views from ours?"
"I call it advanced thinking." Facing Zhou Xi's doubts, Ji Yun stretched out his hand and pinched his face without changing his face, and said seriously, "How can we accept those difficult ministers in the previous court?" Submissive post?"
"Guest officer, go inside!"
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the tavern, a waiter rushed out, bowed to the two, put a cloth towel on his shoulders and led them in.
"Do you two sit on the first floor or the second floor? The second floor has a better view."
"Then let's go to the second floor!" Ji Yun replied with a smile after hearing Xiaoer's suggestion.
"Okay! Two people on the second floor, please this way." Xiao Er took the two of them to the stairs and stopped going up, but stood aside and said "please" to them.
"Master!" Ji Yun and Zhou Xi had just stepped onto the wooden plank on the second floor when they heard a surprised female voice in front of them, "Master, there are many people on the second floor, why don't you sit in the backyard?"
"No problem." Ji Yun waved his hand with a smile, "Just find us a seat by the window, and I'll bring Xi'er to taste your food, don't be restrained."
"Then you come with the servant."
When the woman heard Ji Yun's words, she glanced at Zhou Xi calmly, made a gesture of leading them, then turned around and led them to the place with the best view on the second floor.
"Is this old man Yan's girlfriend?" Zhou Xi looked curiously at the woman walking in front, and whispered, "The charm is still there."
"How can old man Yan be so precious and open a tavern with such a good business in the capital of our country, how can he be so handsome?" Ji Yun looked at Zhou Xi with a smile.
"What's the matter, it's not your girlfriend!" Zhou Xi curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he heard the praise in Ji Yun's words.
"Young Master, you two should sit here!" The woman moved aside to leave the seat in front of her, and said with a smile, "You can just see the Yueqi Lake in the city, and the view is the best in the building."
"Okay, then sit here!" Ji Yun took Zhou Xi to a seat before looking at the woman waiting on the side, and said with a smile, "Give one of your family's signature dishes to my Xi'er to taste, and you can also Take a break, sit down and talk."
"Yes!"
What Ji Yun said after that made the woman feel a thump in her heart. She turned around and gestured to Xiao Er who was not far away, asking him to go to the back kitchen to order food, and then sat opposite Ji Yun and Zhou Xi.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing the uneasiness hidden under the woman's calm face, Ji Yun smiled, "It's just talking about family matters, old man Yan didn't make any mistakes."
"Yes, I'm worrying too much."
Looking up at Ji Yun with an apologetic smile, the woman took the teapot from Xiao Er and poured tea for Ji Yun and Zhou Xi.
"Xi'er has been in our Yi country for three months, and he hasn't been able to leave the palace for a walk. He happened to have nothing to do today, so I took him out to have a look at our Yi country." Ji Yun smiled and took the woman's hand. Teacup, knocked on the table, and said, "It just so happens that I have been thinking about the food here since I came to your tavern that day, so I brought Xi'er to try it too."
"Young master likes to eat. It's my blessing. If you think about it again next time, I'll send someone to tell you that my family will let the kitchen prepare it and send it back to you."
Perhaps it was Ji Yun's few explanations that helped, the woman was not as nervous as before.As Yan Qingting's best friend, she had heard of Zhou Xi a long time ago, and now that Ji Yun called him "my Xi'er" so affectionately, she confirmed her guess about Zhou Xi in her heart.
"You have a heart." Hearing the woman's answer, Ji Yun nodded in satisfaction, and seeing Zhou Xi drank the tea, he took the teapot and refilled it, and said as if he didn't care, "Old man Yan's birthday will be in one month. I thought that old man Yan has worked too much for me on weekdays, so I, the master, should give him a big gift to celebrate my birthday."
"Young master is serious." The woman rubbed her teacup hand for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "It is Qingting's blessing to be able to share the young master's worries."
"Since this is the case, I, the master, have to show something, so that old man Yan can not be in vain."
Ji Yun still had a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhou Xi playing with the potted plants on the windowsill, he reached out and grabbed his restless hand back, and held it tightly.
"I heard old man Yan say that you have known each other for 20 years. It's not a short time. How many 20 years can you have in your life?"
Ji Yun's words made the woman feel a little uneasy, she opened her mouth to say something, but because she couldn't figure out what Ji Yun was thinking, she didn't dare to answer, so she could only smile along with it.
"Old man Yan is not too young now. In a few years, he will definitely propose to me to return to his hometown for the elderly." Sensing Zhou Xi's dissatisfaction, Ji Yun patted his hand reassuringly, and continued to look at The woman said, "I don't approve of old man Yan going back to his hometown at this old age. The road is bumpy and his body will definitely not be able to bear it. Let him stay in Beijing. There is no one to take care of him. You also know that his wife died early."
"Master..."
At this moment, if the woman doesn't know what Ji Yun wants to say, she is really stupid.But she understood Ji Yun's intention, but she couldn't figure out the reason why Ji Yun did this suddenly, so she looked at Ji Yun with a little timidity in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous, we're just chatting about homework."
Ji Yun comforted him softly, and it happened that Xiao Er brought a pot of bone soup at this time, so he let go of Zhou Xi's hand and got up to serve the soup, and thoughtfully put a spoon in the bowl in front of Zhou Xi.
"Drink some soup first. The soup here is full of flavor. This bone soup is the most authentic."
Smelling the aroma of the soup in front of him, Zhou Xi couldn't speak out in front of outsiders to protest Cai Ji Yun's restriction of his activities just now, so he just kept silent, picked up a spoon and drank it one bite at a time.
"Where did we talk just now?" Ji Yun comforted Zhou Xi, turned his head to look at the woman across from him, paused for a moment, and sighed, "By the way, I want to rectify your name, and I also give it to Old Man Yan." Surprise, I, the master, will also be a matchmaker, what do you think?"
When Yan Qingting learned that their monarch had left the palace with Zhou Xi, he was furious and looked at the piles of memorials in front of his desk with disgust. He thought that if the broken desk wasn't too heavy, he would have tossed it over. Express your dissatisfaction with this.
"Yan Shoufu, this is not acceptable!" An old minister of the cabinet stood up from his seat and walked in front of Yan Qingting, frowning, "The former praying monarch was the one who subjugated the country, and now living in the palace has already violated the ancestral system." Not to mention, to see the miasma he has tossed in the harem in the past three months is simply detrimental to my country's face."
"Yes, Yan Shoufu." Another courtier came over with a solemn face, "And I think, this emperor indulged the former Lord Qi too much!
