The next day, early in the morning.
After Ye Chuyan got up, Pei Xiuyan proposed to paint Ye Chuyan's eyebrows. Ye Chuyan was helpless and had to let him go.
Before the painting was finished, Madam Mo came to report: "There is a girl named Zhao Yujiao outside who wants to see me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.
Ye Chuyan stared at Pei Xiuyan intently, looking at him with interest.
Pei Xiuyan's eyebrow-throwing hand paused.
He said calmly: "Give her the courtyard in the south of the city, and you can satisfy her needs in the future. Tell her not to come here to see me again!"
Ye Chuyan joked: "A Ce, you are so heartless. You promised to marry her, what? You just ignored her?
Pei Xiuyan sighed slightly, "Ayan, let's forget about the past, okay?"
Ye Chuyan smiled and said nothing.
Things in the past can be forgotten, but how can we erase the harm caused by those things?
After drawing the eyebrows, all the maids and slaves in the room couldn't help but laugh, and their faces were red and they didn't dare to laugh.
too ugly!
Pei Xiuyan also noticed it, and he made Ye Chuyan's eyebrows look like two burnt charcoal logs, which was particularly funny.
He said coquettishly: "Why don't you just wash it off."
The book says: The loving couple and the thrush in front of the window are very interesting. But why can't he draw well? The painting is not only boring, but also unsightly.
The maid brought water to wash off Ye Chuyan's eyebrows, and Ye Chuyan sat in front of the mirror and started tracing her eyebrows by herself.
Seeing Pei Xiuyan staring intently at the side, he smiled and said, "A Ce, do you know why you didn't draw well?"
Pei Xiuyan was puzzled.
Ye Chuyan said slowly: "Because we have been married for three years, you have never drawn my eyebrows. It is normal that you are not good at drawing."
Pei Xiuyan choked and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Yan Qi came in to break this embarrassment.
Yan Ke brought shocking news.
In the past few days since Na Sheng returned to Beirong, he suppressed the civil unrest in the country with great speed.
Three days ago, he cut off all the heads of the rebels and hung them on the city wall. The remaining bodies were cut into pieces of flesh.
Na Sheng circled a group of wild dogs that had been hungry for a long time in the square outside Beirong Palace, and personally fed the meat to the wild dogs.
That day, Jian Shou was a nightmare for the people of Beirong.
The heads on the city wall stared, watching the wild dogs below eating their bodies. This scene is more terrifying than hell.
After hearing this report, Pei Xiuyan couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he thought about his original plan with Pei Ye, but it didn't show on his face.
Ye Chuyan was frightened by the news.
She first remembered that Na Sheng said before leaving that he would come to pick her up after he went back to take care of a few things.
Now that the madman Na Sheng has dealt with these rebels, how will he "receive" himself?
Ye Chuyan and Pei Xiuyan were speechless for a moment, each with their own thoughts.
Before this wave of emotions subsided, Madam Mo came in and handed over a few greeting cards, saying that a group of officials outside were coming to visit Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan looked at the invitation in Madam Mo's hand and couldn't help but frown.
Some time ago, he was staying at the Imperial Medical Office. Pei Ye ordered that no one be allowed to disturb him, so the officials did not find a chance to visit him.
Now I guess I heard the news that he returned home last night, so I came here with full energy today. He said he was coming to visit him, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to let him recommend them to lead troops to suppress bandits in front of Pei Ye.
This position is a fat one. There are countless gold, silver and jewels hidden in the bandit's den. As long as you conceal a few when suppressing the bandits, it will be enough to fatten a lot of people.
In order to avoid suspicion, he usually did not have close contacts with the officials. In this situation, if he dismissed them, everyone would be dissatisfied. If he didn't send him away, Pei Ye knew he would be unhappy.
Ye Chuyan saw Pei Xiuyan frowning and understood what he was worried about.
"Ace, why don't you leave it to me to deal with it? If you stay behind closed doors, these people will definitely find other ways to find you privately. Why don't you open the door and welcome them openly. Just say that your eyes are uncomfortable and you need to rest, and I will send these people away."
Pei Xiuyan thought for a moment and felt that what Ye Chuyan said was very reasonable.
If these people came to him in private, it would be even more troublesome if Pei Ye knew about it. He would definitely think that he was secretly colluding with these people and colluding with each other.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and said, "It's been a hard day, ma'am."
Ye Chuyan called the maid to change herself into a princess's formal attire. She was so noble that no one dared to look at her.
She ordered Madam Mo to open the door of the house and not refuse anyone who came today, but no gifts were allowed in.
Madam Mo opened the door and said to the people outside: "Everyone has sincerely come to visit my master. The master is very pleased to know that I will not accept the gifts. Please come with me."
The visiting officials looked at each other in confusion. How could they hint to the King of the Qing Dynasty that they were going in together without accepting any gifts?
Seeing everyone standing still, Madam Mo raised her eyebrows and said, "If you are not here sincerely to visit my master, please go back."
As soon as he said this, whoever dared to disobey had no choice but to put down the gift list and follow Madam Mo into the house obediently.
Everyone was led into the front hall of the mansion. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ye Chuyan sitting on a chair in the middle hall. Pei Xiuyan was not seen at all. They were stunned for a moment.
Someone quickly reacted and bowed as expected, "I've met the princess." Others saw this and saluted together.
Ye Chuyan motioned for everyone to see the tea.
After everyone sat down, everyone drank tea in silence. No one was willing to speak first. The atmosphere in the room was strange for a while.
Ye Chuyan glanced around and said with a smile:
"You sent medicine to detoxify the prince some time ago, and now you come to visit my prince in person. I am very grateful. However, the prince is not feeling well today and cannot meet you in person. Please forgive me."
Ye Chuyan's greetings attracted everyone's agreement.
"Your Majesty helps the Emperor solve his problems every day. Now that he is injured, everyone is heartbroken and regrets it. He came here to visit today and express his feelings."
Ye Chuyan glanced at the person who said this, it was Zhang Qingman, the Minister of Punishment.
Behind him stood his legitimate son Zhang Jing. Although his head was lowered, Ye Chuyan could think of his sinister and pale face.
It seemed that Zhang Qing wanted to recommend Zhang Jing today.
Ye Chuyan smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Shangshu, for your help in investigating the prince's assassination some time ago. I haven't even thanked you yet."
Zhang Qingman stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "This is all a matter within the lower official's scope. The princess should not see anyone outside."
As soon as Zhang Qingman finished speaking, a fat official stood up and said:
"Princess, those bandits are really hateful. They actually hurt one of the prince's eyes. When I think about this, I can't sleep or eat well. I am willing to lead people to suppress the bandits and avenge the prince."
Zhang Qingman turned his head and saw the Taichang Temple Minister standing up, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was not his turn, as a third-grade civil servant, to lead troops to suppress bandits.
When the others saw the Taichang Temple Minister's start, they all put down their dignity and became impassioned, willing to avenge the Qing King and suppress the bandits.
"Princess, I have recently made a plan to suppress the bandits. I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the bandits and avenge the prince."
"Princess, I have long hated the bandits in the suburbs of Beijing. I am willing to fight to the death to suppress the bandits. I will not give up until I succeed!"
"princess……"
Seeing all these people swearing to show their loyalty to the death, Ye Chuyan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. In this mortal world, I am afraid only you know how sincere everyone is.
She stood up slowly and said loudly: "It's really touching that you are so loyal to the prince. I have decided..."
Everyone who was arguing fell silent, staring at her intently, waiting for her next sentence.
Ye Chuyan scanned the entire audience with sharp eyes and said sternly:
"I decided to personally lead the troops to suppress the bandits! I have been to the military camp, am familiar with military strategies, and have martial arts skills. These are more than enough to suppress the bandits. The prince was injured by the bandits because he was trying to save me. I want to personally defend the prince. revenge!"
