The day after returning from the imperial city, Li Ye led a group of girls and took two carriages to Ciyun Temple next to the imperial mausoleum to meet the former queen Jiang Ruoyu.
When Jiang Ruoyu saw Li Ye bringing a group of girls to see her, she was extremely happy. He took out a lot of snacks to entertain them.
She only knew Mu Mu, and this was the first time Li Xiaoxue and Yeluyan met.
Li Ye introduced his sister to her, and Li Xiaoxue obediently stepped forward to say hello.
Jiang Ruoyu touched her hair and smiled: "I didn't expect that the emperor would make you the princess of the dynasty before he left. Now there are two princesses in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. You and Wutong will be sisters from now on."
"Mother, we have been sisters for a long time!" Xia Wutong chuckled.
Li Ye introduced Xiaoqing to Jiang Ruoyu again and whispered a few words in her ear.
When Jiang Ruoyu heard this, she was even more happy. She took Xiaoqing's little hand and said yes.
It made Xiaoqing feel embarrassed...
Jiang Ruoyu nodded and looked at the girl in front of him with satisfaction, thinking that now his daughter would not be alone.
Finally, Li Ye pulled Yeluyan to introduce him to Jiang Ruoyu, and asked with a smile: "This Yeluyan is the little princess of the prairie. Let's see if she has the talent to be a queen?"
"Being a queen? Is it from the grassland or the dynasty?" At this point, Jiang Ruoyu suddenly covered her mouth and looked at Li Ye and Yeluyan blankly.
Yeluyan, like Li Xiaoxue, obediently bowed to Jiang Ruoyu.
"Oh my God, Imperial Master, you really gave me a big surprise!" Jiang Ruoyu patted her chest and laughed.
After saying that, he pulled Yeluyan over, sat down next to him, and looked at him carefully.
After a long while, he said: "Do you want to settle the matter of the queen before going to Prajna Temple?" I thought, how old are you to actually establish a queen for the emperor?
Yeluyan's face immediately turned red when challenged, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Yes, sir, the establishment of a queen is a big deal, and you have to let me, senior, have the final say. I have brought everyone here for you. Can you please say something? After spring, I plan to ask Brother Nalan to go to the grassland tribe to propose marriage. ."
Li Ye said leisurely.
"I have no problem, it's fine! I like this child too." Jiang Ruoyu looked at the girls in front of him with infinite joy. They looked very strange, but suddenly they all kissed her so hard that they couldn't kiss her anymore.
This made her, who had been guarding the lonely lamp for ten years, suddenly overjoyed.
After chatting for a while, Li Ye told Jiang Ruoyu several things that had been decided at the palace yesterday and asked her for her opinion.
"Who would have thought that the right prime minister would retire? Maybe this will be his final outcome. Since General Nalan is in charge of the safety of the imperial city, let Marshal Jiang go to the grassland to propose marriage. He and Yeluyan's brother and father I know the emperor, so there will be no problem."
Jiang Ruoyu looked at Li Ye and said seriously.
After listening to Jiang Ruoyu's words, Li Ye patted his head and said with a smile: "That's right. Now the eldest brother can't leave the imperial city. The emperor has to rely on him for many things. It takes two months to come and go to this grassland. ."
Li Ye looked at Yeluyan and laughed.
Yeluyan's face turned even redder.
"Master, if you have something to do, please go back to the imperial city. Let a few girls stay with me here for a few days. I will send them back in a few days." Her daughter, future wife and two princesses are all here. She can I couldn't bear to let them go.
Li Ye thought for a while, turned to look at Mu Mu, and said with a smile: "Sister, come down and take care of Xue'er, how about spending time with your senior?" For Mu Mu, he would ask first about everything and would not directly make the decision for her.
Mu Mu nodded and replied: "We are all playing here. If you have nothing to do, you can take your sister for a walk. Brother, please go back and accompany your mother and mistress."
Waving her hand, Mu Mu indicated that he could leave.
Jiang Ruoyu looked at him and said with a smile: "Say hello to your husband for me. Maybe I will take a few children to your Imperial Master's Mansion to stay for a few days and have a chat with him then."
Li Ye's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Just in time, let's just say three days later. The emperor will come to the house for dinner in three days. It's a good time for you to reunite. If you don't want to go to the palace, you can stay in my house for as long as you want."
When Li Xiaoxue heard this, she shouted: "That's right, there are so many rooms in the house, and there are so many of us that we can't even live in them all."
Jiang Ruoyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Then I will take them back in three days."
When Li Ye heard this, he stood up and bowed to her, gave instructions to several girls, and then turned around and left the Buddhist hall.
Before she could go far, chirping sounds came from the Buddhist hall. It didn't seem like a quiet Buddhist hall.
Li Ye smiled and thought: This is the human world.
...
Back in the imperial city, before noon, Li Ye thought for a while and rode a carriage to Huamanlou.
Huamanlou has not officially opened yet, and all the people who came are acquaintances. Li Ye went to the third floor alone and found Hua Tianxia sitting and making tea.
Seeing Li Ye walking in alone, Hua Tianxia was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Why did you come here alone? Where is your elder brother?"
Li Ye shook his head and replied calmly: "He is accompanying the emperor in the palace, how can he be with me."
"Why are you here? Do you want me to have tea or wine?" Hua Tianxia didn't believe that Li Ye would come here alone if nothing happened.
"I said I came here specifically to find Sister Hua, do you believe it or not?"
"I believe you!" Hua Tianxia chuckled and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Li Ye pondered for a moment, thinking about how to tell her about Huamanlou and what happened between her, the second prince, and Nalan Yu.
After all, it is logical that it is not his turn to take care of these matters, but after thinking about it, if he did not take care of it before leaving, the emperor might be busy and might forget about it.
Thinking of the second prince's unforgettable eyes, Li Ye felt that Hua Tianxia and others should be rescued from the fire bed first.
After pondering for a long time, he made up his mind.
"I've been back for a while, and I should explain some things to Sister Hua." Li Ye looked into her eyes and said seriously.
"What explanation?" Hua Tian was stunned, wondering what happened to this boy today, talking to him so seriously.
"I want to take Huamanlou back from the hands of the second prince and put it in my name. This is the benefit I want from the emperor. I think it is my contribution to quelling the chaos in southern Xinjiang."
After thinking about it, there is no way to decide whether Huamanlou will be under the name of Hua Tianxia. If it is under the name of Hua Tianxia, it is estimated that the second prince will take it back sooner or later. The only way is to put it under his own name and let a bunch of courtiers in the imperial city die. Heartbroken.
When Hua Tian heard this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and stared at Li Ye without speaking.
"Is it okay?" Li Ye looked at him and asked seriously.
"Why not?" Hua Tianxia seemed to understand Li Ye's painstaking efforts.
Nodding, Li Ye looked at her and continued: "It's not appropriate to fall under the name of Brother Nalan, because the emperor has already given him a reward, and besides, he can't beat the old guys in the imperial city."
Hua Tianxia nodded and replied: "What kind of temperament does he have? Apart from killing people, how can he use his scheming skills to fight with others?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "If you fall under my name, I will leave the imperial city to practice in the summer at the latest. You will still be responsible for taking care of this place. If anything big or small arises, you can directly ask Brother Nalan to go to the emperor. This is my property. He had to ask."
Hua Tianxia was stunned, chuckled, pointed at him and replied: "I didn't expect that you are so young and have more scheming than anyone else."
Li Ye looked at her and sighed, smiling: "Isn't there nothing I can do? After all, you and my eldest brother are my relatives. If I don't find a way for you, who will care about you?"
"Also, if the emperor can't control it, you can still ask my husband. I will tell him about this. At most, you can pay some dividends to the house every month, and you can drag both the husband and the mistress onto this boat. "
Whenever he thinks of his husband, Li Ye wonders, is there anything else that he can't handle?
Hua Tianxia finally convinced Li Ye this time, biting her lip and said, "I never expected that you dared to drag Mr. Li and Sister Li onto the pirate ship. You are so cruel!"
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "Is this a pirate ship here? Then wouldn't I become the biggest thief?" After saying that, he laughed.
"You are a thief and a monster!" Hua Tianxia was in a good mood and joked with him.
Li Yexin said that he had finally accomplished something on his mind. After he left, he no longer had to worry about his eldest brother's life events. At the same time, he had fulfilled the promise that the emperor had made to his eldest brother.
Li Ye's face changed from a look of confusion to a smile. He looked at Hua Tianxia and said, "Before I leave, sister Hua should marry the eldest brother. It just so happens that his grandfather is also in the imperial city."
"Is it too soon? Who is his grandfather? Is he the old man Nalan Kunxuan who was with the emperor's uncle?" Hua Tianxia asked with a red face.
Li Ye smiled proudly, looked at the shy expression on her face, and said: "Of course it's him. There was no need to be so anxious, but I wanted to drink your wedding wine before leaving. I didn’t come back until a few years ago.”
"Do you have to go for so long?" Hua Tian was stunned.
Li Ye nodded and replied: "I'm going to practice, and I'm not going to watch the flowers, or something happened in the imperial city, and my husband is sitting here...The emperor must learn from himself Go take care of some stuff.”
Hua Tianxia thought for a moment and said, "Call that guy here tomorrow and I'll ask him again."
Li Ye glanced at her and thought to himself that if you asked your eldest brother to come over, you were just asking about some unimportant things. By the way, there are still things that he dare not agree to you for.
He has been chasing you for so many years, and now he is about to embrace your beauty, how can he be disobedient?
Hua Tianxia naturally didn't expect that what was going through Li Ye's mind was actually preparing Hua Man Lou as a gift for Nalan Yu's marriage.
However, when Nalanyu and Hua Tianxia found out later, they insisted on disagreeing. In this way, Li Ye became the real master of Huamanlou.
Li Ye looked at her and asked curiously: "Sister Hua, please be nicer to my eldest brother in the future and stop bullying him all the time."
"It all depends on his performance. If he can be as considerate as you, the Imperial Master..." Hua Tianxia smiled and said, "I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to marry you."
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, thinking to himself, I haven't thought about this yet.
Hua Tianxia looked at him and frowned slightly, wondering what difficulties you would have. Isn't it just that there are a few more girls who like you?
Since they don't care, the worst you can do is marry them all and bring them home. Are you worried that you won't be able to support such a big house?
"My current thoughts are on cultivation. We will discuss it after I come back from Prajna Temple." Li Ye blocked Hua Tianxia's thoughts. I was solving problems for others, why did it involve me again? .
Seeing Li Ye's determined eyes, Hua Tianxia could only sigh softly and said, "Brother, I know those girls who like you will never let go. You have to treat them well."
Li Ye was slightly startled, thinking that since both of them were living in the Imperial Master's Mansion, and the other one was in the Royal Academy, they might come to the Imperial City at some point, thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel as big as an ox.
Looking into her eyes, he murmured: "Sister Hua, do you think I am a bad person? I really want to practice well, and I didn't provoke them."
"Shameless, even if you get an advantage, you still have to behave." Hua Tianxia rolled her eyes at him and chuckled.
"I'm hungry. I sent the future queen to meet her mother-in-law in the morning. I was hungry all the way." Only then did Li Ye remember that he was in a hurry and didn't eat anything in the morning.
After hearing this, Hua Tianxia asked: "Did you take Princess Yelu to see the queen? What is her opinion? Are you satisfied?"
"Why is she dissatisfied? I personally selected this for the eldest prince...the emperor. They both knew each other in southern Xinjiang. In three days, she will all come to the Imperial Master's Mansion to stay for a while. After three days, you can arrange some side dishes. send over."
Li Ye thought for a while and decided to prepare more food and drinks because there were too many people in the family.
When Hua Tianxia heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect that in just one day, you managed two marriages, selected a queen for the emperor, and found a wife for the general."
Li Ye rolled his eyes at her and said with a smile, "What? You don't want to?"
Hua Tianxia looked at him and sighed, then said with a smile: "Looking at the five regions and even the imperial city, only you, the Imperial Master, have the ability to make the emperor and the general obey your arrangements."
"Thank you, sister. I'll have a drink with you at noon." Hua Tianxia, who was satisfied and happy, looked at the young man in front of him, feeling proud of himself.
