When Ye Yan arrived at the main entrance of Ninghua Palace, it was almost noon.
There was no way, the palace was too big, and he couldn't race in the palace, so he could only walk step by step.
In addition, the palace he lives in is in the middle. After going to find Ye Chen and then coming to Ninghua Palace, he is equivalent to turning back.
After adjusting his clothes, Ye Yan walked in directly.
When I went to Ye Chen's place, I wanted to inform him, mainly because I was afraid that Ye Chen would sometimes meet with some important people and talk about things that were inconvenient for him to hear.
Concubine Xian's side doesn't matter.
He walked all the way deep into Ninghua Palace and didn't stop until he was in front of the bedroom.
He said to the maid on the side: "Tell your empress that I will come to visit her."
The palace maid bowed and said: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, just over half an hour ago, the Emperor came to Ninghua Palace.
The emperor has ordered that if your highness comes, you can go in directly. "
"My father is also in Ninghua Palace?" Ye Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes." The palace maid nodded.
Ye Yan suddenly realized that no wonder he saw several unfamiliar eunuchs along the way.
But how did Ye Yucheng know that he would come to Ninghua Palace this morning? Even came earlier than him.
Leaving such words made him feel as if Ye Yucheng came here specially to see him.
It seemed that Ye Yucheng had seen through him.
Instructing Bai Enci and Mingyu to stay outside, Ye Yan walked into Concubine Xian's bedroom.
He didn't take a few steps before he saw Concubine Xian and Ye Yucheng. They were sitting on chairs, with many pastries placed on the low table in the middle.
At first glance, the two looked a bit like those couples from aristocratic families who respected each other as guests.
Ye Yan walked over quickly, bowed and said, "The emperor has met his father and mother."
Concubine Xian looked at Ye Yan, and judging from her expression, it was obvious that she had a lot to say.
But with Ye Yucheng here, it wasn't her turn to be the first to speak.
Ye Yucheng pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk. At your mother's house, you don't need to talk about so many rules."
Ye Yan walked over and sat down.
After he sat firmly, Ye Yucheng changed his previous serious attitude and said with a smile: "I also heard what the Seventh Emperor said outside just now.
From what you say, shouldn’t I come to Ninghua Palace? "
Hearing this, Concubine Xian's face turned anxious and said, "Your Majesty, Yan'er didn't mean that."
Ye Yucheng ignored Concubine Xian and still looked at Ye Yan with a smile.
Because of his understanding of Ye Yucheng, Ye Yan knew that Ye Yucheng would not care about such trivial matters.
Don't say he didn't mean it. Even if he did, Ye Yucheng would just laugh it off and wouldn't say it to his face.
So this was a joke on him. Ye Yucheng seemed to be in a good mood.
After analyzing it, Ye Yan said calmly: "The emperor doesn't mean that, but he rarely sees his father in Ninghua Palace, so he feels a little surprised."
Only then did Ye Yucheng look at Concubine Xian and said, "Concubine Xian, the Seventh Emperor is blaming me for not spending enough time with you."
Concubine Xian's face changed, and she hurriedly explained to Ye Yan: "Yan'er may be feeling unwell, so he said confusing things, Your Majesty..."
"Father, you should really spend more time with your mother and concubine." Ye Yan continued to speak before Concubine Xian finished speaking.
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xian almost burst into tears.
Compared with the Queen and Concubine Zhang, she and Ye Yucheng did not spend much time together.
This is related to Ye Yucheng's dislike of staying in the harem for a long time, and also to her Xijing's temperament.
If nothing happened, Ye Yucheng would usually not bother her.
Therefore, she respected and feared Ye Yucheng.
However, Ye Yucheng laughed and said: "Concubine Xian, you have been with me for so many years, but you don't understand me as well as your son.
I don't blame him. He is right. I have indeed neglected you concubines in recent years. "
Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Yucheng was not angry, but rather happy.
"The emperor is busy with court affairs, and it concerns the people of the world. I know that. There is no such thing as neglecting me."
Ye Yucheng pursed his lips and smiled, but did not choose to continue this topic.
If you say too much and are just polite, then it is really a waste of time.
He looked at Ye Yan and said, "You came so late, did you go to your imperial brother's place?"
Ye Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Yucheng took a piece of snack and took a bite, and said with some meaning: "It seems that you brothers are really working together. I did some unnecessary things."
Ye Yan couldn't answer this. Nothing he said was good, so he chose to remain silent.
Ye Yucheng didn't dwell on these words. After finishing the snack, he continued: "About this matter, Seventh Prince, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Ye Yan said without thinking: "Father has his own considerations in everything he does. As a son, I have nothing to say."
"Is this so?" Ye Yucheng thought for a moment and said, "As the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, I want to reward ministers who have made meritorious services. You are my prince, and you will naturally reward those who have meritorious service.
I have already given your royal brother the will to make iron that you want.
Also, tomorrow you come to the morning court and take the Taoist guard beside you. I will announce something in the court hall. "
Ye Yan's heart condensed, and he specifically asked Bai Enci to be brought with him.
It seems that what Ye Yucheng is going to announce tomorrow morning is related to the Bai Li people.
But judging from Ye Yucheng's previous words, this should be good news.
As for the purpose of iron smelting, it was him who wanted it, not Ye Chen. It was not surprising that Ye Yucheng knew this.
It is estimated that Ye Chen didn't want to hide anything from Ye Yucheng. After all, he was doing good things for the people.
Thinking of this, Ye Yan stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you, father."
Ye Yucheng waved his hand, stood up and said: "My purpose of coming to Ninghua Palace has been achieved, so I won't delay you mother and son from saying some thoughtful words.
I'm here, I think you will feel uncomfortable too. "
Concubine Xian stood up quickly and said, "No, Your Majesty, it's already noon, it's not too late to have lunch together before leaving."
"Forget it." Ye Yucheng refused again.
Seeing that Ye Yucheng had made up his mind, Concubine Xian did not dare to stay any longer.
After Ye Yucheng walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Yan and said, "Seventh Emperor, if you do this, sometimes it may not be a good thing for your brother."
After leaving such words, he left Ninghua Palace all the way.
After Ye Yucheng left, Concubine Xian's expression relaxed obviously.
She looked at Ye Yan and said, "Yan'er, what do you mean by your father? Have you done anything to your imperial brother?"
Ye Yan was still thinking about the meaning of the words Ye Yucheng left. When he heard Concubine Xian's question, he came back to his senses.
"It's nothing, I'm just working with the emperor and helping him with some small things. Mother, you don't have to worry."
Concubine Xian said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "How could my mother not be worried about your affairs?"
