The Liangzhou government office was tightly guarded, and the disaster relief officials were even tougher. However, it was difficult to bribe these officials, but it was not difficult for them to serve as servants.
Therefore, except when Ye Qingchuan entered Feng Xi's courtyard, everything he did in the government office could not be hidden from Peng Huan's eyes.
Therefore, Mu Tian's several visits, Liu Wanshi's unreasonable concession, and his consort Qi Xiao's failure to return for several days all made Peng Huan and others feel that Ye Qingchuan's big deal was done.
He may not have completely established himself next to Feng Xi, but he can definitely say a few words.
It was extremely simple for Feng Xi to give him, the imperial envoy, a good deal of respect, to arrange a position for him where he could sneak in, or to say a few words in front of the man named Li.
After all, it is legitimate for imperial envoys to participate in disaster relief, and it is not an excessive request anywhere.
So Peng Huan felt that Ye Qingchuan could definitely do it.
Of course, Ye Qingchuan felt the same way when he saw this note.
So in the afternoon of the next day, not long after Ye Qingchuan entered the courtyard, Mu Tian hurried in and told Feng Xi that Peng Huan and Liu Wanshi were quarreling and insisted that Mr. Li Ge and the others arrange a position for him in the mansion. .
"Well, what then?"
Feng Xi leaned lazily under the eaves. It was snowing heavily outside, but she didn't even use a charcoal basin, as if she didn't know how cold it was.
"Eunuch Peng said that as an imperial envoy of the imperial court, he should follow Mr. Li Ge and others and monitor all the actions of the disaster relief officials at all times. He also said that Mr. Li Ge and others must have some shady secrets, so he was blocked at the door. outside."
Mu Tian told the truth, but Feng Xi hit the nail on the head:
"He even gave up his face in order to gain credit. Doesn't he know how annoying he is?"
Mu Tian: "..."
Ye Qingchuan: "..."
Probably not.
"Then princess, how should we deal with this matter..."
Seeing Mu Tian ask this question, Ye Qingchuan realized that his opportunity had come.
"Princess, the common people have something to say that you don't know whether to say or not?"
"It's inappropriate, please stop talking about it."
Ye Qingchuan: "?"
Fortunately, this was not the first time that he was criticized by Feng Xi, so he immediately said bravely:
"Although this Peng Huan is an eunuch and is suspected of taking credit and greed, he is an imperial envoy after all and represents the attitude of the imperial court. If you and your lords block him blindly, there is no guarantee that he will not jump over the wall in a hurry. "
As someone who was openly at odds with Peng Huan, what he said was quite rude.
"Well, go on."
Feng Xi didn't nod or shake her head. She just watched Qi Zhuo running circles in the yard and felt that the Qi family was really very diligent.
When he heard her ask him to continue speaking, Ye Qingchuan could hardly suppress the joy in his eyes:
"As the saying goes, it's better to block than to open up. If you want the common people to see it, you might as well give Peng Huan a chance. Anyway, with Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Liu watching, he can't do anything. On the contrary, you gave the court face, and they are I want to find fault with you, but I’m afraid I can’t.”
All he needed to do was make this idiot relent. As for where Peng Huan would go after joining the government office, it was none of Ye Qingchuan's business.
Apart from the fact that he wanted to help Peng Huan find a position, his words of sharing the Lord's worries were also sincere. He was telling the people in front of him that he was very capable.
Shouldn't she reuse such a capable person who looks exactly like the person she admires?
He may not be as good as the first son Mu Qingze, but who is the consort Qi Xiao?
"well said."
As Ye Qingchuan wished, Feng Xi nodded and said:
"It is better to block than to open up. It not only gives face to the people in the court, but also makes Peng Huan suffer in name only and cannot tell. Ye Qingchuan, you are so smart, I really appreciate you."
Ye Qingchuan was startled, and almost immediately raised his head, looking at Feng Xi with burning eyes.
Then he saw Feng Xi smiling and saying:
"With so much pigweed in my head, it must be a good seedling to feed the pigs!"
Ye Qingchuan: "?"
"Otherwise, I will arrange for you to feed the pigs today. This imperial examination will really bury you."
Feed the pigs?
Hearing this, Ye Qingchuan panicked instantly. What kind of career would he have if he left such a shameful thing done by a lower class person?
"Princess, Princess Cao Min is wrong. Cao Min should not talk nonsense to make you angry, Cao Min..."
"Oh, since you know you are wrong, why don't you pack your things and leave quickly so that you can go down and feed the pigs early?"
Ye Qingchuan: "..."
Seeing Feng Xi, who seemed to be trying to drive away Yan Yan, Ye Qingchuan was speechless for a moment.
how could be?
He has liked women since he was a child, but he has never met a moody woman like Feng Xi.
Doesn't she like herself?
impossible.
Why would she bring him back if she didn't wash him? And why do you always ask him to be on duty in the yard and ask Commander Mu to give him things?
This is a temptation, yes, it is a temptation!
Ye Qingchuan looked at Feng Xi, suddenly raised his head boldly, looked directly into her eyes and said:
"Princess, Qingchuan's life was saved by you. Qingchuan is grateful to you and loves you. As long as you ask, Qingchuan is willing to do anything for you."
"Go through fire and water, no matter what."
The sky is full of nobility, glory, wealth, and power...
In front of these, Ye Qingchuan felt that his face was not worth mentioning at all.
Since euphemism and aloofness could not impress Feng Xi, he would try another way to impress her.
He is willing to start from the position of serving the king. As long as he is given a chance, he believes that sooner or later he can...
Feng Xi: "Didn't I just say it? Raise pigs! How suitable it is to raise pigs with pig grass!"
Ye Qingchuan: "?"
After all he said, this crazy woman still wanted him to raise pigs?
Ye Qingchuan was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was also worried about his future.
Fortunately, just when he didn't know how to reply, there was a figure walking slowly outside the door.
He was wearing black clothes and a jade belt, and his appearance was stunning. Ye Qingchuan recognized him. He was Qi Xiao, the consort of this crazy woman.
He has always regarded it as a stumbling block on his road to success, except for this moment.
Following Mu Tian slowly leaving the main courtyard, Ye Qingchuan was relieved once again when he heard that Feng Xi was not only attacking him, but also Qi Xiao.
He kept telling himself that he still had a chance, that he was better than anyone.
And when he didn't know it, all his words to Feng Xi were placed on Peng Huan's desk.
A eunuch, a dog jumping over the wall, unable to make any waves...
"Okay, good on you Ye Qingchuan!"
Peng Huan was furious, and Shi Songgao quickly stepped forward to comfort him:
"Eunuch, Ye Qingchuan definitely didn't insult you on purpose. He did it to gain Princess Zhaoming's trust!"
After all, he was the one who introduced Ye Qingchuan to Peng Huan, so his words and deeds would naturally affect him.
Hearing this, Peng Huan did not express his position, but the prefect of Liaozhou, who had been flattering Shi Songgao and followed his lead, suddenly stood up:
"Brother Song Gao is wrong. Eunuch Peng, there is a master under Xiaguan whose ancestral home is Huaizhou. He once heard a secret story in the public, saying that Ye Qingchuan, the son of Huaizhou, not only has no enmity with the Chu family, but is also very likely to be a member of the Chu family. The flesh and blood of the second master living abroad."
