Looking at little Jingren in Qiqige's arms, a smile gradually appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face, and he carefully looked at the little guy's peaceful face...
Looking at Ye Mingsheng's actions, Qiqige also suggested:
"Sir, Jingren is asleep now, would you like to give him a hug?"
Ye Mingsheng was also a little moved by Qiqige's suggestion, but he hesitated and shook his head. He knew that it was not easy to put a child to sleep. He had tried to hug the little one before. , but only once did it not make him cry.
After looking at Xiao Jingren for a while, Ye Mingsheng heard An Miaoyi's voice coming from the inner room.
"Qiqige, pour me a glass of water!"
Hearing An Miaoyi's voice, Ye Mingsheng knew that she had woken up from her nap. He immediately waved to Qiqige who was holding the child, then picked up the teapot himself, poured a cup of tea and walked into the back room.
Although An Miaoyi had just given birth to a baby not long ago, An Miaoyi recovered very quickly and soon returned to her previous graceful figure. Although she had just woken up from her nap and was facing the sky, her natural beauty is hard to give up. It makes people's hearts beat.
'The water is a bit hot, Miaoyi, be careful! ’ Handing the tea to An Miaoyi, Ye Mingsheng said warmly:
Maybe it was because An Miaoyi had just woken up from her sleep and was facing Ye Mingsheng. Her mind was not fully awake yet, and she did not notice Ye Mingsheng's arrival. It was not until she took the water cup from Ye Mingsheng and drank the water that she seemed to wake up. Realizing something, he turned around and said with some surprise:
"Ms. sir, why are you here?"
Ye Mingsheng scratched An Miaoyi's face and said with a smile;
"There are few things to do today, so I came over to see you and Jingren..."
Since An Miaoyi gave birth, because some of the root causes of the disease have fallen away, she has been resting and taking the decoction prescribed by Pei Zhixiu. For her health, Ye Mingsheng has not touched her. At present, An Miaoyi Yi's complexion and physical condition are gradually improving, and everything is on track.
At the same time, Ye Mingsheng also knew very well that An Miaoyi was in the most pain in her heart right now and needed comfort, so he stayed with her as much as possible, shouldered the responsibility of being a husband, and relieved An Miaoyi from some of her stress and inner feelings. Depressed.
After caring about An Miaoyi's body and saying some intimate words between husband and wife, An Miaoyi looked at Ye Mingsheng and hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng did not doubt that he was there and held An Miaoyi's little hand. He said seriously:
"You and I are one husband and wife. We don't have to be bound by those rules and regulations. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
After hearing this, An Miaoyi said seriously:
"My lord, I heard that Murong Qingwu, who is known as the most talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is in the residence of Murong Buzong Envoy in Liaoyang. I heard that she is knowledgeable, talented, virtuous and virtuous, and she is from a famous family. I can be your virtuous wife!"
Ye Mingsheng was really surprised when he said this. He didn't know what An Miaoyi wanted to do. Although he was making steady progress in marrying Murong Qingwu, so far, it still belongs to him. The tacit understanding with the Murong family has not yet been officially brought to the table, and only a few people know about it.
Even so, Ye Mingsheng was not surprised that An Miaoyi knew about this matter. What really surprised him was that An Miaoyi would take the initiative to mention this matter, and it seemed that she meant to set up a bridge for him... ·············
Just when Ye Mingsheng was a little confused about what An Miaoyi wanted to do, An Miaoyi seemed to feel the doubts in Ye Mingsheng's heart, winked at Ye Mingsheng and said very playfully:
"I have already seen my husband's very precious painting. Since you have this wish, my husband, I will naturally help you get your wish!"
Seeing An Miaoyi's sincere expression, Ye Mingsheng decided to test it out by retreating, and immediately organized his speech and said:
"Miaoyi, you are joking. That painting was just a fooling around when I was young and frivolous. It's nothing! You still have to take care of yourself. Mom is still waiting to hold her granddaughter!"
Although she didn't know how much Ye Mingsheng's words were sincere, An Miaoyi still felt warm in her heart when she heard Ye Mingsheng say this.
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, An Miaoyi shook her head and said:
"My lord, this Murong Qingwu is the legitimate daughter of the Murong family. The Murong family has five generations and three pavilions, and has disciples and former officials all over the world. If you can marry her, it will be a great help to you and Feng." The future development of the armed forces will have great benefits..."
Speaking of this, An Miaoyi seemed to have thought of something, and said softly in a low mood:
"As the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, Miao Yi was supposed to support the Ye family for my husband, but my body is not up to par, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a difference in the future, so I ask your husband to marry Murong Qingwu. Only in this way can I feel at ease!"
Speaking of this, An Miaoyi's eyes became moist, and she looked like she was about to cry, looking pitiful.
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard An Miaoyi's words. He even felt pity for An Miaoyi. He gently stroked An Miaoyi's back with his palm and comforted her and said:
"What a depressing thing to say, you silly girl. You are still young. As long as you take care of yourself, everything will be fine!"
"Um!"
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little sad, a baby cried outside the room. Seeing that little Jingren had woken up, Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi also adjusted their moods and spent some parent-child time with the little guy. Finally, they spent the night with An. After Miaoyi and Ye Jingren had a warm dinner, Ye Mingsheng left slowly.
Standing at the door and watching Ye Mingsheng's leaving back, An Miaoyi's eyes gradually became deeper. When she saw Ye Mingsheng's back disappearing into the night, An Miaoyi returned to her room. Arriving next to Ye Jingren, Qi Qige also came over and reported:
"Madam, the young master has gone back to sleep. I have arranged for the wet nurse to watch. You can have a good sleep tonight. The young master had a lot of fun with his parents today... ·············”
Seeing the cute look of little Jingren sleeping, An Miaoyi couldn't help but have a warm smile on her pretty face. After staying with Xiao Jingren for a while, An Miaoyi returned with Qiqige's company. After arriving in her bedroom, after serving An Miaoyi to wash up, Qiqige said with some confusion:
"Madam, my lord has clearly said that he is not interested in that bitch Murong Qingwu, why are you still persuading me to marry her?"
Listening to Qiqige's question, An Miaoyi stroked her black hair and said calmly:
"If my husband was really not interested in her, he wouldn't have kept that painting with him all the time. My husband is already tempted by this matter, so no one can stop him. No matter whether we accept it or not, this matter It will all become a fact!”
At this point, An Miaoyi sighed slightly and said with some regret:
"We have missed the best opportunity, and may have even let the mysterious group of internal guards around our husband discover something. So since it has become a fact, I might as well take the initiative, so that I can maintain the last dignity, no Let the current situation become even more passive!"

Yunbin, Jinzhong
In a certain side room of the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Jian'an was meeting with a middle-aged scholar. This man's name was Liang Hao, who was Shangguan Hongyuan's brother-in-law. This time, he also came to Jinzhong to meet with Zhao Jian'an on behalf of Shangguan Hongyuan to discuss changing the flag. matters.
"Master Zhao is very pleased that you are able to turn your back on the situation, and he also attaches great importance to it. He sent me to Jinzhong this time, and specifically ordered me to bring a letter of appointment to formally appoint you as the new Youyan. Governor, and also serves as the pacifier of Jinzhong!" Liang Hao took out a letter of appointment and handed it to Zhao Jianan with both hands.
Looking at the letter of appointment, a complicated look flashed in Zhao Jian'an's eyes. He knew that if he accepted the letter of appointment now, it would be equivalent to betraying his father, Zhao Fuqu's lifelong political stance. If Zhao Fuqu were still alive now, He will definitely be killed alive. Even if Zhao Fuqu is dead now, if he is allowed to know about this under Jiuquan, he will definitely be uneasy and scold him for being an unfilial son!
In addition, once this matter is publicized, there is no doubt that it will definitely cause an uproar within the Yan Army, which has finally calmed down. Those elders do not know how many people will come to him. He is in the Yan Army. His prestige will also be questioned, but now he has no choice...
If he wants to maintain a strong army on the basis of protecting the people of Jinzhong, the only way he has left is to seek refuge with Shangguan Hongyuan, and get financial and food support from Shangguan Hongyuan. There is no other way. Law!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianan took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, took the letter of appointment from Liang Hao and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Lord Chief Assistant, for your appreciation. Jian'an will definitely kill the enemy bravely and serve the imperial court!"
When Liang Hao heard this, he also clapped his hands and praised:
"I believe Lord Chief Assistant will be very happy if he knows your determination, Lord Zhao!"
After another round of pleasantries and compliments, just when Zhao Jianan was about to ask about the issue of money and food that he was most concerned about, Liang Hao seemed to understand what he was thinking. He changed his voice and said with a smile:
"I wonder, General Zhao, when do you plan to announce the news of your change of flag?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jianan was startled, and his expression became serious. He did not really seek refuge with Shangguan Hongyuan, his father's lifelong enemy. He was just pretending to be a snake with Shangguan Hongyuan and wanted to get rid of him. Shangguan Hongyuan is just getting money and food.
And once this news is announced, the result will be disastrous for him. His reputation will fall to the bottom and he will bear considerable pressure both inside and outside the Yan Army. Therefore, for Zhao Jianan, the best result is not to disclose this. incident, he secretly surrendered to Shangguan Hongyuan and quietly obtained financial and food support from Shangguan Hongyuan...
Seeing that Zhao Jian'an didn't speak, Liang Hao still had a smile on his face, but he was still sneering in his heart. This ginger was still too old. Zhao Jian'an's little idea of a free-handed white wolf could not be hidden from Luo An, but because of Feng Wujun The threat of Luo An was like a gleam on the back and a cloak in the throat. Therefore, in order to establish a strong shield between Luo An and the Fengwu Army, Liang Hao was sent to Jinzhong by Shangguan Hongyuan!
For Luo'an, Zhao Jian'an and his 20,000 Yan troops in Jinzhong still have some united front value. At least during Ye Mingsheng's westward advance, they can stop the Fengwu army and provide Luo'an with a united front. An side buys some time to react!
Therefore, since Liang Hao appears here, it means that Luo'an is willing to give Zhao Jianan some financial and food support, but how much is a very critical question. This is why Liang Hao suddenly asked, such a question that makes Zhao Jianan The reason for Jian'an's hard-to-answer questions!
Under Liang Hao's gaze, Zhao Jianan was silent for half a cup of tea, and then spoke with great difficulty:
"Mr. Liang's matter is of great importance. My father passed away not long ago and I just came to power. Therefore, the matter of changing the flag publicly requires long-term consideration. However, please rest assured, Mr. Chief Assistant, I, Zhao Jian'an, am not a villain. Since I have made a decision, and I will never be half-hearted. As long as I can stabilize the Yan Army, I will definitely make this matter public..."
Although Zhao Jianan's words seemed very candid and sincere, Liang Hao didn't believe a word he said. He had expected that Zhao Jianan would say this, but on the surface Liang Hao still sighed. He said in a very disappointed tone:
"Master Chief Assistant, we have prepared 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 shi of food in Luo'an for Master Zhao. We are just waiting for Master Zhao to reveal the news now, and the money and food will be shipped from Luo'an. However, if Zhao Jianjun plans to go secretly, If you don’t publish it, then I’m afraid the princes in the court won’t agree!”
Zhao Jian'an's heart sank as soon as Liang Hao said this. He had been busy for so long and made so many efforts, but he just wanted to get money and food support from Shangguan Hongyuan. But if he can get money and food only by making it public, then this matter He may have to weigh things again and again!
Seeing that Zhao Jian'an was deep in thought and seemed to be really considering whether to make it public, Liang Hao was also hesitant in his heart. He didn't know whether to wait a moment or directly throw out Luo An's thoughts. At this moment, Zhao Jian'an Jian'an saluted him and said sincerely:
"There is really a lot of resistance here in Jian'an. If the news of the change of flags is made public now, there will definitely be chaos within the Yan army. This will give Ye Mingsheng an opportunity to take advantage of. I hope Mr. Liang can say something nice in front of the chief minister." In other words, for the sake of the overall situation, please help me build peace!"
