Yang Ming was not at ease at first, thinking that Chen Shuyi's personality was not suitable for socializing with others. After all, she was born as a princess, so she was born unable to speak softly and did not know how to please others.
This is why Yang Ming's attitude towards Chen Shuyi is much better than others on weekdays. He doesn't mind even if she yells at her a few times, because her character has been set and cannot be changed.
But what surprised him was that Chen Shuyi actually got along with Gao Yue.
I eagerly waited in the tea room all morning, but what I waited for was Chen Shuyi asking a waiter to come over and tell Yang Ming that she had lunch at Gao Yue's place and asked Yang Ming not to worry about her.
Not bad...it's progressing very quickly.
Yang Ming had already known from Yu Wenlan that Gao Yue was withdrawn by nature and rarely talked to the maids around him. He could often sit alone for a whole day without moving.
There must be something wrong with this girl's psychology. It should be a character flaw caused by the ruin of her country and her family, leading to mental illness.
Chen Shuyi was able to establish a relationship with the other party so quickly, so she must have resonated with him.
Yu Wenlan once said that Gao Yue's three meals a day in Jinyang Tower only cost one five baht, which was a simple meal, but he was quite generous to the maids around him.
Originally, Yu Wenlan planned to give her this small amount of money, but Gao Yue refused, saying that it was not easy to live here and she could no longer eat and drink for free.
Only then did Yang Ming understand why Gao Yue's two performances in Jinyang were enough for her to live for more than ten years. It was so economical.
For such a person, there is a place that is particularly suitable for her, the nunnery.
After Yang Ming returned to the palace, he received another letter from Chen Shuyi in the evening of the same day, and she did not come back at night.
Are we all eating and living together?
Regarding this, Yang Ming is quite happy. The more familiar Chen Shuyi is with the other party, the better.
In the following days, the palace received news that the curfew in Daxing City was temporarily changed from midnight to Xu hour every night, a full two hours earlier.
And the same is true in Lifang. In addition to Wuhou Wei, many government troops were also sent to patrol the streets. Anyone found not to return home at night would be thrown directly into prison.
The day is getting closer.
On this day, Yang Su and Pei Ju came to the mansion together and chatted secretly with Yang Guang for two hours.
Pei Ju is a capable person. Yang Ming originally thought that this person belonged to the neutral faction and could play both sides between the East Palace and the Jin Palace without offending anyone. Unexpectedly, he also got in touch with his father.
Pei Ju was a close official around Yang Jian, so he probably saw that the wind was going in the wrong direction and made his choice.
Before leaving, Pei Ju even made a special trip to Qingshanfang to visit Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was very polite to this elder who left his name in history. He invited him into the inner room with the courtesy of a junior and served him tea himself.
Yang Guang, who came with Pei Ju, saw this and couldn't help but admire in his heart how good his third son was.
When Pei Ju saw this, he quickly stood up and took the tea cup with both hands, saying he didn't dare.
In the eyes of the direct lineage of the Yang family, the officials of the Sui Dynasty were all subordinates, even the elders like Pei Ju were no exception.
Because Yang Jian came to power with powerful ministers, he was very strict with his subordinates. The emergence of the three provinces and six ministries system was to weaken and divide the power of ministers, making the imperial power highly concentrated. Therefore, this system began in the Sui Dynasty and became deeply popular. It was loved by all emperors and lasted until the end of the feudal dynasty.
Yang Jian was also afraid that there would be another powerful minister in the Sui Dynasty who was as powerful as he was.
Even though Neishi Ling was only a third-rank official, his power was terrifying. With Pei Ju joining him this time, Yang Guang was even more powerful.
"My daughter often praises His Highness the Third Highness for being open-minded and sincere in treating others. Since Pei is here today, he should come to visit."
Yang Ming hurriedly said modestly: "Miss Pei is too generous."
Pei Ju's overall impression is that he is very humble, and the smile on his face is more likely to make people feel close to him.
But in Yang Ming's opinion, this person is unfathomable and will make him feel that he is smarter than me.
Pei Ju is very handsome, his figure is
Tall, among all the elders in the court, he is only slightly shorter than Gao Jiong.
Neither Pei Shuying nor Pei Xuanji inherited Pei Ju's ridiculously handsome genes. This person's overall appearance completely fit the image of the evil king Shi Zhixuan in Yang Ming's mind.
After a few polite words, Pei Ju smiled and said:
"It's a pity that the Third Highness is already engaged, otherwise Pei would really be shameless."
Pei Ju was not in a good mood during this period because his daughter was too close to the boy named Li. He gave several stern warnings, but unfortunately his daughter was too hot-tempered and did not listen to him at all.
And he happened to have only one legitimate daughter. She had been spoiled since she was a child, and he couldn't bear to intervene forcefully.
With his status, if his daughter marries such a poor boy, she may not be able to hold her head high in court in the future.
That's why he thought about finding a good marriage for his daughter as soon as possible and completely gave up her thoughts.
Of course, he didn't fall in love with Yang Ming, he just said it casually.
Yang Ming had a marriage arranged by the Holy Queen, which could no longer be changed, and it was impossible for him to let his daughter be a concubine. In that case, wouldn't his life have been in vain?
When Yang Guang heard Pei Ju's words, he quickly put his hand on the back of Pei Ju's hand and said with a smile:
"This matter will be discussed later."
Can this matter still be discussed? Absolutely not, but now is the time when Yang Guang needs someone, so he won't say anything and will leave room for the other person's imagination.
How could an old fox like Pei Ju believe Yang Guang's lies, but he would not expose them and nodded with a smile.
Next, he complained bitterly in front of Yang Guang, saying that he doted on his daughter so much that her daughter actually got close to a poor boy during this period, which made him quite troubled.
Yang Guang just listened quietly without saying anything.
On the contrary, Yang Ming pretended to be confused and said a few words of comfort. You can't control your daughter, so what's the use of telling us?
After sitting around chatting nonsense for a while, Pei Ju stood up and left, and Yang Ming followed his father to send him out of the house.
After Pei Ju walked away, Yang Guang turned around and said with a smile:
"I heard that the girl from Pei Ju's family is pretty?"
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Very good."
Pei Shuying's appearance is still tough, Yang Ming absolutely agrees with this, and Pei Shuying has a heroic spirit that cannot be seen in others.
"Although this woman has interacted with Chen'er several times, it was all in the past." Yang Guang turned around and entered the house, saying as he walked: "I heard from Pei Ju that this woman has a good impression of you. If you like her, she will do it for you in the future. Father, let her be your concubine."
When will it be in the future? Of course, it was when Comrade Yang Guang became more assertive.
When my father is named the crown prince, Yang Ming will be the direct descendant of the East Palace and the destined prince in the future. If Pei Shuying becomes her concubine, it will definitely not be considered an insult.
But Yang Ming felt that his father was trying to make a big deal out of himself.
"As long as the child has a wife, I have never considered a concubine."
Yang Guang chuckled and patted Yang Ming on the shoulder: "If you don't spend your youth in romance, only a good man will marry nine wives. If you don't take a concubine, how will you settle the daughter of Xuangan?"
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment. Although his current relationship with Yang Yinjiang was relatively ambiguous, he would definitely not allow others to take Yang Yinjiang away.
And he and Yang Yinjiang had been in close contact during this period, and Yang Guang had obviously noticed it, so this was the reason for this temptation.
But Yang Ming chose not to answer. Aren't you unsure about my relationship with Yang Yinjiang? Then you can continue to be unsure.
Yang Guang saw it in his eyes and laughed loudly: "Ming'er, please remember, you are my son. If you fall in love with any girl, just ask. I don't see anyone who is short-sighted and dares to refuse me."
Expanded, right? You haven't gone up yet, can we keep a low profile? Isn't it inappropriate to reveal your true nature so quickly?
Don’t let me take a look at any girl I’ve fallen in love with and snatch it away from you. If you can say the words “He who gave birth to me is not allowed, I am not allowed to give birth to you, and the rest is not necessary”, I have to be on guard. Focus on you.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether this sentence exists in history. After all, the Xiao Li family's ability to take the blame is not guaranteed.
Among so many emperors in history, it was very common for me to sleep with my son's woman, and for my son to sleep with my woman. However, although Comrade Yang Guang's reputation was extremely bad, it seems that there is no record in the history books which son's woman he slept with, let alone A woman who sleeps with her own brother.
Yang Ming did not answer his words, but shook his head with a wry smile.
Yang Guang finally asked what was the name of the boy who was chasing Pei Ju's daughter now? Yang Ming answered: Li Dewu.
Then the father and son separated and went back to their respective courtyards.
At present, with the support of the three elders in the court, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Pei Ju, Yang Guang's path to power is basically paved.
The most important thing is that Dugu Jialuo also supports it.
In the following days, Chen Shuyi did not return to the palace. She stayed in Jinyang Tower and got along with Gao Yue day and night.
This situation even made Yang Ming think that there might be a problem with the orientation of these two people? If Gao Yue really dares to bend Chen Shuyi, Yang Mingfei will kill her with one strike.
Good news came back to the palace one after another.
Su Xiaoci, the leader of the left guard of the East Palace, was transferred to the local area and served as the governor of Xizhou. The official position of the leader of the left guard of the East Palace can be understood literally, and he was the leader of the left guard of the East Palace.
After Su Xiaoci was transferred, Yang Jian accepted the command of Luo Rong, the general of the left prison gate, to fill the post of left guard leader of the East Palace. Now, the prince could not even transfer his own bodyguard.
The main responsibility of the Left and Right Prison Gate Mansion is to guard the twelve gates of the imperial city. If you are not someone that Yang Jian absolutely trusts, it is impossible to give you such an important position.
Luo Rong is Yang Jian's crony. This person is not very famous, but his son is relatively famous in history: Luo Yi.
Of course, Luo Yi is not Qin Shubao's uncle as mentioned in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There is no such thing at all, and Luo Yi does not have a son named Luo Cheng.
Luo Yi is only twelve years old this year. He is the same age as Yang Ming, and Qin Shubao should be sixteen, seventy or eight years old now.
As we all know, Qin Shubao started his career by following Lai Huer, but now Lai Huer himself is not doing well.
Yang Ming once made a special investigation and found out that Lai Huer is now the general manager of Jianzhou, which is the area of Fuzhou, Fujian. The officials responsible for the southeast and southwest of Sui Dynasty basically do hard work because those places are too chaotic and poor. .
Especially in Fujian, a group of rebels would appear every now and then. They were either suppressing the bandits or on their way to suppress them.
However, Lai Hu'er has a very good relationship with his father Yang Guang. After all, Jiangdu is also in the south, and the two of them are close to each other. When Lai Hu'er can't get over the problem, he will ask his father to borrow some money or food.
In the history of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, the main purpose was to protect the children, and Yang Xuangan's stick rebellion was also in the name of crusading to protect the children.
Although he is living in a miserable life at the moment, it doesn't matter. When dad succeeds to the throne, it will be a good time for a good friend to take care of him.
