On the afternoon of the third day after Li Ye returned from Ciyun Nunnery, Jiang Ruoyu finally brought several girls to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
A surprise for Mr. Zai and Li Hongxiu, which made Ye Zhiqiu and Fuzi at a loss.
Li Ye looked at his parents and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a family. The emperor will come over for dinner later, so relax a little and everyone will be at ease."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed softly, held his hand and said with a smile: "We will listen to you in everything. As long as you and Xiaoxue and Mumu are good, anything will happen."
Li Ye took his parents to meet Jiang Ruoyu. Jiang Ruoyu looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "Since I have become a monk, I am no longer a member of the palace. From now on, we will be equals."
She thought to herself that her daughter was going to marry this boy, how could she mess up the hierarchy any more.
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he didn't understand what she was thinking, so he quickly took her hand and walked into the flower hall.
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu, pulled her aside and asked, "You haven't caused any trouble in the past few days, have you?"
Mu Mu's face turned red, she glared at her, and said with a smile: "What trouble can I cause? This is not Southern Xinjiang. If you want to find someone to fight, you won't be able to defeat me."
Li Ye squeezed her hand and suddenly felt something was wrong. He asked in a deep voice, "When did you break through to Yuanying?"
Mu Mu looked at him and curled her lips, pointed at Xiaoqing and Jiang Ruoyu and said: "Xiaoqing brought some fruits. I, Sister Wutong, Sister Xiaoxue, and Sister Yelu all brought some. In the Queen's That’s all under the guidance, it’s the night you leave.”
Mu Mu thought to herself what a big deal this was, was it necessary to exaggerate?
"What state are you in now?" Li Ye looked at her and asked.
"Second level, sister Wutong is the same. Only sister Yelu is at the first level. Sister Xiaoxue seems to have broken through to the seventh level of the golden elixir. She is so powerful!"
Lian Mumu was shocked when he thought that Li Xiaoxue, who had just turned eleven years old, was actually at the seventh level of the Golden Elixir.
"My sister is in the seventh level?" Even Li Ye was shocked this time.
"It's okay. Queen Jiang said that sister Xiaoxue's state is very stable and there will be no problems." Mu Mu said softly to him.
Li Ye nodded, let go of her hand, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "You are now also a master in the Nascent Soul Realm. You have to protect me in the future."
Mu Mu gave him a blank look, smiled and ran towards the flower hall.
Li Ye looked at the lively scene in the flower hall and murmured to himself: "I hope you can be so happy every year."
"As long as they work harder and complete the practice at Fangcun Mountain, they will naturally be happy." I don't know when the husband came behind him.
Li Ye looked at his husband and didn't know how to reply, so he had to change the topic: "Sir, I told the emperor that as a reward for southern Xinjiang, the flower-filled building will be transferred to my name."
The husband was stunned for a while, then he finally understood. He looked at him and asked, "For Nalan Yu and Hua Tianxia?"
Li Ye nodded and replied: "After much thought, the Second Prince and the ministers in the court will give up on this idea only if they fall into my hands. From now on, Sister Hua will be mine, and they will also Don’t dare to have any thoughts of harming her.”
The gentleman understood the logical relationship here, looked at him and said: "Only you can take back this building, otherwise the emperor will be soft-hearted and will continue to let the second prince hold it in his hands, which will be of no benefit to anyone."
"Yes, I'm just afraid that he will think of ways to harm Sister Hua. If this happens, Brother Nalan might get angry and kill him. This will embarrass the emperor..."
Li Ye couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of Nalan Yu's hot temper.
The husband turned to look at him and said: "You put the responsibility on yourself, do you want me to sit here and block those old guys for you?"
Li Ye bowed his hands and said with a smile: "This is my property. Sister Hua will send money to the house every month from now on. My husband and my wife don't have to worry about their expenses."
The gentleman laughed and said jokingly: "Unexpectedly, you don't want the eldest prince to give you a reward, but you want a bigger advantage."
Li Ye chuckled and replied calmly: "I am doing this for Sister Hua and Brother Nalan."
The two walked around the garden until the snowflakes wet their clothes, and then walked into the flower hall.
While they were talking, the butler came running to tell them that the emperor's carriage had arrived in front of the house.
Li Ye said to his husband, "I'm going to pick up the emperor, and he's going to change clothes." After saying that, he pointed to his green shirt that was getting wet due to the melting snowflakes.
The husband smiled and walked to the back room.
Before reaching the front of the house, the emperor had already eagerly got out of the carriage and walked in followed by Nalan Yu, Yan Wuxue and others.
Facing the emperor, Li Ye felt no psychological pressure and said with a smile: "The emperor came just in time. The empress dowager and the princess have already arrived."
The eldest prince nodded and looked back at Yan Wuxue.
Yan Wuxue smiled and handed Li Ye a brocade box, and said with a smile: "This is what you want, Imperial Master. The emperor ordered the old slave to prepare it early in the morning, and then he came here."
Li Ye looked at the eldest prince and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"The land deed is full of flowers. From today on, the Imperial Master can be considered a rich man. I will take Eunuch Yan to drink in the future, but he will not pay the bill."
The eldest prince smiled and walked forward.
"Then, how dare Sister Hua and Brother Nalan ask you for money?" Li Yexin said, finally settling the matter.
Walking outside the flower hall and standing on the stone steps, the group stopped.
The eldest prince looked at him, looking a little nervous, and murmured: "National Master, won't my mother decide to do that today?"
"No, she just kept General Nalan and asked Marshal Jiang to go to the grassland to propose marriage." Li Ye informed the eldest prince of Jiang Ruoyu's decision.
"That's good." The eldest prince looked at him with satisfaction and said, "With so many people here today, I would be embarrassed to say it out."
Li Ye looked at him, smiled thoughtfully and said, "What are you afraid of? You are the emperor."
...
Li Ye wanted to blurt out that you are very beautiful, but when he looked at Yan Wuxue behind him, he finally realized that the person standing in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor, so he had to laugh twice.
Jiang Ruoyu, who was sitting in the teahouse, watched a group of people come in and shouted, "Your Majesty, come here, sit down next to me, and let's talk."
Li Ye thought to himself that it would be most appropriate to hand over this hot potato to the Queen Mother.
He turned around and glanced at Yeluyan again, and found that she was blushing, staring blankly at the eldest prince who walked in, and thought to herself, what are you afraid of? In a few months, you will be the queen.
From now on, once Jiang Ruoyu rises to the top, you will be the best in this entire dynasty.
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye and shouted: "Speaking of drinking, there is no good wine in the house. How about someone go to Sister Hua's and buy some wine and food?"
Li Ye didn't tell Li Hongxiu and others that someone would be coming to the house today, and neither she nor Ye Zhiqiu prepared any food or drinks. Suddenly, the first thing that came to mind was to ask Hua Tianxia for help.
Li Ye looked at her and shook his head, and said, "I have already arranged this matter. Mistress and mother don't have to worry. We can just cook a few side dishes in the house at night."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at him quietly and asked softly: "Ye'er, have you said hello to the owner of Hualou?"
Li Ye pointed at Nalan Yu, who was standing behind the eldest prince, and said with a smile: "Isn't Brother Nalan here? Where can there be no wine?"
When Nalanyu heard this, he looked at him blankly and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
Seeing that Nalan Yu didn't understand, Li Ye sighed, looked at the eldest prince and said, "Your Majesty, while Sister Hua hasn't come yet, tell me about it."
The eldest prince was delighted, looked at Nalan Yu and said with a smile: "The Imperial Master has already done it for you as I promised you last time in front of Xichun City. Next, you have to propose marriage to Master Hua Lou, and let your grandfather make the decision. Or do you want someone to go back to Tianshan to invite your parents over?"
Nalanyu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Ye and the emperor had quietly decided on his life-long events, and he felt happy and scared at the same time.
"What? Did she agree?" Nalanyu asked like a little daughter-in-law, pinching the corner of her clothes.
Li Ye looked at his shy face and said, "Sister Hua will come to our house for dinner soon. Just ask her yourself. I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Nalan Yu was slightly startled, with a look of joy in his eyes. He looked down at the eldest prince and asked, "Your Majesty, do you also know about this?"
The eldest prince turned to look at him and said: "This is not in the palace, there are not so many rules. After a while, the flower shopkeeper came and thought I was abusing you. Find a chair and sit down to talk."
The eldest prince did not reply to his words, but his tone clearly told him that this matter was decided by the Imperial Master and me.
The flower hall was in full swing, full of laughter and laughter.
Jiang Ruoyu held Yeluyan with one hand and the eldest prince with the other, speaking in a low voice. After a while, Yeluyan's face turned red and she raised her head to glare at Li Ye.
Li Ye knew what she was thinking, smiled and shook his head, but did not step forward to answer.
Ye Zhiqiu pulled Li Ye to the corner of the teahouse and asked in a low voice: "Why do I look so bad at Xue'er? She was fine before she went out with you, so why did she break through the second realm when she came back?"
Li Ye looked at her and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing brought good things and distributed them to several of them. Under the care of the Queen Mother, Xue'er broke through the second realm, and Mu Mu also broke through the second realm. She is now The realm is the same as you and dad, they are both at the Nascent Soul realm."
Ye Zhiqiu was shocked and asked: "It's so magical. She is six years younger than you. Is there any problem?"
Li Ye smiled and said softly: "The Queen Mother is a master of nine moves. If she says there is no problem, then it will be fine."
Ye Zhilai felt relieved now, looked at him and said with a smile: "The matter between the Emperor and General Nalan has been settled. It's your turn next, right? It's time to call that little guy Wushuang to the house." Go up and ask her what she thinks."
When Li Ye heard this, he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. He looked at her and replied, "I still have to continue practicing. How can I have time to care about these little things about my children?"
Ye Zhiqiu took his hand and walked inside, pretending to be unhappy and said: "I don't care, it's been eleven years since you got married to her when you were six years old. You have to give someone an explanation."
After hearing this, Li Ye was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that in just a few seconds, he had been practicing for eleven years and had been separated from his young lady for eleven years.
Thinking about the past events in Fengyun City, he couldn't help but sigh, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "What did Wushuang's mother say when you were at home?"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him and explained: "Lin Yueru told me that she doesn't care about your affairs and lets you handle it yourself. When the matter is settled, send her a letter and she will bring Qiu Ming over from Fengyun City."
Li Ye thought about what happened when he met the young lady at the Royal Academy last year. He couldn't help but laugh twice, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Let's wait until she comes."
Thinking about Lin Yueru's benefits to him, and looking at his mother's look of expectation, Li Ye thought to himself that as long as the young lady didn't dislike him, then let her go. After all, he had never disliked her back then.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "And Mumu, when will you talk to her alone? She might have to follow me to Prajna Temple."
When talking about his own affairs, Li Ye said that he felt a big headache. He couldn't get rid of a young lady, Mu Mu, and Princess Wutong, who was the responsibility entrusted to him by the emperor. Now even Jiang Ruoyu recognized it. he.
Thinking about the days to come, he really didn't know how to deal with it properly.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at his embarrassed expression and said with a smile: "They don't care, so what are you afraid of? Isn't it just to have more daughters-in-law? I like it."
After saying that, he turned to talk to Li Hongxiu.
Shaking his head, Li Ye said in his heart: We can't wait until summer. We'll run away after drinking Nalan Yu's wedding wine.
Just as he lowered his head to think, the housekeeper led Hua Tianxia in, followed by Hua Luoyu and two maids, carrying several food boxes in their hands and looking at him with a smile.
Li Ye stepped forward and took Hua Tianxia's hand, and said softly: "Starting from today, you will be the shopkeeper."
"Did you get the things?" Hua Tian was shocked. She didn't expect Li Ye to do things so quickly.
Li Ye looked at her with a smile and said with a smile: "We have to talk about your marriage with my eldest brother in a while, and let the emperor and the empress dowager make an idea for you two."
Hua Tianxia felt happy, lowered his head and replied: "Well, just listen to my brother!"
