Zhou Zhaoqing knew how to read people's faces, so he shut his mouth and didn't say a word.

He came to help today, and the big shopkeepers outside didn't know Ming Ye's real identity, and couldn't meet him, so he was responsible for handing over the account book, checking the authenticity and other trivial matters.

A dignified shopkeeper, unexpectedly became Ming Ye's personal servant.Zhou Zhaoqing was quite open to it, this quiet building was owned by him, and the waiters were all called by him, so he ordered people to buy the pastries from Qingyifang early on, and brought them up.Drink tea and snacks while waiting for someone.

All the guests who came today were distinguished guests, the ones above the attic and in the curtains were even more expensive, and the best silver bone charcoal was burned, and the room was as warm as a spring day. Ming Ye untied his cloak and put it on the other side of the table,The rubies were piled up on the fur collar, which made Zhou Zhaoqing take another look.

After waiting for a while, the big shopkeepers came here one after another with their ledgers.

The account book was also sent to Ming Ye's desk. The big shopkeeper outside was usually so dignified, and he was also paying the account cautiously and tremblingly at this time, for fear that the second shopkeeper would find something wrong.

Zhou Zhaoqing had a special status among the shopkeepers, so he didn't have to go through such torture, and just watched the show from the sidelines.

Mingye's account checking is different from ordinary people. He first opens the account book, browses the accounts for a month, and then no longer looks at them all the time, but asks the big shopkeeper outside to report the account.If you hear something wrong, point it out directly, turn to the place where the account is, and convince the other party.

Zhou Zhaoqing listened attentively, and was a little surprised to find that it was exactly the same.

It was half a year ago when he paid the bill last time, and Ming Ye hadn't done this before.I didn't expect to be so proficient in just a few months.

Probably because hearing the accounts was boring, Akeno took out some other gadgets.

It's files and shells.

The shells were carefully selected, and the shape and size were suitable. With a little polishing, they would look very beautiful, and they could be used as decorations on ordinary women's hairpins.

However, Akeno made the shells extremely light, thin and small, and he didn't know what they were used for.

Because the general ledger is checked, not the detailed rules, there are no major mistakes, and there are no inconsistencies, so the check is very fast.

But after reading the accounts of the three of them, it was already past half past noon.

Mingye's time is very tight, he can't go out of the palace often, so it is impossible to rest at noon, so he just continues to the next person.

Zhou Zhaoqing was tired of eating sweets, but there were so many people present, and it was not easy to order food and drinks, so he had to ask someone to buy Taohualou's salty snacks, while eating to pass the time, he even asked Mingye if he wanted to eat, but was rejectedFinally, he added another sentence, telling him not to drop the snacks on the ledger.

This person's accounts were too unclear and full of ambiguities. In the first two months, Mingye even raised some points, but later on, he stopped talking and just let the other party keep talking.

Zhou Zhaoqing looked at Ming Ye's plain expression, and couldn't see what he planned to do with this shopkeeper.

When he first came into contact with Ming Ye, the other party was only sixteen years old, and he couldn't even fathom the mind of a young man, and it was even more difficult to guess at this time.

Suddenly there was a sound from the secret door on the other side of the attic, and someone walked up the small stairs.

It's a spy.

The secret door is right next to Ming Ye, his figure didn't move, he was still sitting upright, holding a file in his left hand, lowering his head, polishing the extremely beautiful shell in his hand bit by bit.

The spy hid behind the secret door of the compartment, opened a small window, looked at the people sitting in the attic, and recognized the one who wanted to report, then lowered his voice, and told Ming Ye the urgent news.

The shopkeeper kept Zhou Zhaoqing and Ming Ye in Beijing at the same time, in addition to allowing them to complement each other, another thing is to let them restrain each other.All the news outside the palace that Ming Ye knew was obtained from Zhou Zhaoqing, while the news inside the palace was only reported to Ming Ye.Zhou Zhaoqing inquired about it from other sources.

So the news at this time came from the palace, and it must be very urgent, otherwise the spies would not even bother to check the accounts, but would pass it to the Taoist temple first, and wait for Mingye to check it by himself.

Shopkeeper Zhang outside had a loud voice, pretending to report the accounts calmly, while the other shopkeepers sitting beside him could hear something wrong and were whispering, as well as the sounds of drinking tea, knocking teacups, and coughing, all mixed together.It was extremely noisy.

Zhou Zhaoqing was concentrating on listening to what the spy was saying, but it was too noisy outside, and the spy who had been trained for a long time knew how to tell someone, so he just couldn't hear it.

"Clang—"

There was a soft sound, like metal hitting something.

Zhou Zhaoqing was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it was a shell.

Akeno lost the knife in his hand for a moment and bumped into the shell in the other hand.The shell was ground into thin slices, shining brightly, very thin and sharp, without noticing for a moment, it actually cut Ming Ye's fingertips like that.Blood trickled out from the wound, dyed the shell red, and dripped down on the ledger, leaving traces.

Zhou Zhaoqing was startled, not knowing what happened.

Akeno lowered his eyes halfway, as if he didn't care much, he took the knife slowly, continued to polish the blood-stained shell, and motioned for the spies to go on.

The spy disappeared without a sound.

Zhou Zhaoqing swallowed and spit, he couldn't just look at it like this, and asked a little nervously: "My lord, why don't you bandage the wound?"

Minato didn't answer him.

The wound was not deep, but long and narrow, and the bleeding stopped in a moment.

Akeno finally put down his things, picked up the cloak with his uninjured left hand, and stood up.

The shopkeeper Zhang outside saw him get up, his legs trembled with fright, thinking that he was going to punish him.

Ming Ye raised his chin, and said coldly: "Show it to shopkeeper Zhou first, and I'll check it when I come back."

Zhou Zhaoqing originally came here today to have tea and watch a play, but he was suddenly assigned such a task, but he had no choice but to take up the post reluctantly.

Mingye left through another secret passage, Zhou Zhaoqing went over to take a look, and found that the shells on the table had been torn apart.

Sure enough... very abnormal.

Starting from the vaguely cinnamon fragrance, to lip balm, eyebrows, and today's cloak.

When a person frequently makes actions that were impossible before, he has someone and something he cares about.

Zhou Zhaoqing admits that she has a lot of desires.

He loves fine wine, delicacies, treasures, gold and silver, fragrant cars, and BMWs, and he won't pursue too much if he loses one of them, anyway, there is another one waiting for him to enjoy.

People without desires have no weaknesses, but once they have what they want, they will have weaknesses and shortcomings.

Before that, Ming Ye was a person without desires, but now there are more people who care about him, what will happen after that really makes him curious.

Zhou Zhaoqing thought so, opened the curtain, Shi Shiran went outside, and said like a smiling tiger: "Master Zhang, now I have fallen into Xiao Zhou's hands."

He is less than half the age of shopkeeper Zhang in front of him, and he suffered from this person when he first entered the Wanlai Chamber of Commerce, and now he is about to get it back.

The loft of the Humble Garden is beautiful and elegant, with emerald rockery and surrounded by green water.

In the beautiful scenery, the two finished their meals.

Rong Jian asked with a smile: "The Humble Garden is beautiful, but I seldom come here. Would Mr. Xu be willing to accompany me on a tour?"

Xu Yao couldn't ask for more.

When going down, the stairs were too high, Xu Yao approached thoughtfully: "Why don't I help my cousin, the stairs are so steep, I'm afraid my cousin will fall."

Rong Jian: "...don't trouble Mr. Xu anymore."

Not everyone can help him, and he is not willing to be approached by everyone.

The two of them got very close and walked into the mountains and waters of the Humble Garden, neither the people from the Hall of Changle nor the Hall of Compassion followed.The Empress Dowager made a match deliberately, and the two cousins seemed to be in love with each other, just waiting for a private appointment for life and a happy marriage.

Walk along the path, all the way to the depths, Rong Jian is in front, and Xu Yao follows him.

A few days before this, Rong Jian also invited Xu Yao out for a trip.The other party was cautious in his words and deeds at the beginning, but in the end, he only felt that he was the only choice for the son-in-law, and his words became frivolous and loose.

At this moment, there was no one around, so he smiled and asked: "Cousin, what do you think about the future between me and you?"

Rong Jian looked very dazed and naive: "What do you think?"

Xu Yao's smile was full of coaxing: "Since we are going to get engaged soon, we are a family. My cousin has a noble status. I am afraid that I will treat her poorly in the future."

He said so, but he didn't really think so.

Xu Yao was originally the third son in the family. He had an older brother who was gifted since he was a child, and a younger brother who was loved by his parents at the bottom. He was the only one who was reprimanded by his father and brother because he had no talent, could not read well, and was full of bad deeds of gambling, drinking and drinking all the year round..

But it was him, the mediocre third son in the family, who was selected by Empress Dowager to come to Capital, and he was about to become the princess' son-in-law.

How, what a glorious thing, just like his name, he will no longer be eclipsed by his brother's glory, but will become the most dazzling person in the family.

However, the princess in front of her is beautiful but has no identity, but decides her own destiny.

Rong Jian said softly: "How can it be regarded as being treated lightly, I believe Mr. Xu will not."

He used "I" and did not refute the theory of marriage, which made Xu Yao even more elated.

He was finally going to accomplish this and become the princess' consort.

During the meal just now, Rong Jian persuaded Xu Yao to have a few glasses of wine, but he was not very drunk, but he thought a lot.When he first entered the palace, he was full of ambition, and he was determined to take all the glory and wealth into his hands. Everyone praised him, and the queen mother also liked him.Until that day, the princess almost kicked him out from the Changle Hall and spread the word throughout the whole palace. The empress dowager's cold eyes and attendants' whispering made him feel ashamed.

Xu Yao didn't dare to hate Empress Dowager, he knew the power of Empress Dowager, so he hated the princess in front of him.

But now it is different, they are about to get married, no matter how precious the princess is, she will still be her own thing in the future, she will be in the deep house, and she will act according to her own face.

Rong Jian thought for a moment: "When we get married in the future, will the son-in-law also move to the Changle Hall?"

The smile on Xu Yao's face became more and more contemptuous: "Cousin's words are wrong. As the saying goes, a man marries a woman, and of course the princess will marry into Xu's mansion. Cousin is an aristocrat, so it doesn't matter if you are self-willed on weekdays, my motherMy sister will treat you kindly."

Rong Jianwen said "Oh" and asked slowly, "Where is that child?"

Xu Yao blurted out: "The princess's child is my child, and he must follow my surname. He is the heir of my Xu family."

Rong Jian heard what he wanted to hear, and looked at the person in front of him with some pity.

But Xu Yao was already dazed because of Rong Jian's obedience. When he was drunk, he saw Rong Jian's beautiful face. When he lingered in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the most proud oiran didn't have such a face..

So pretty and so easy to touch.

Thinking of this, he naturally leaned over, wanting to pick it up.

But just as Xu Yao stretched out his hand and touched Rong Jian's sleeve, he was kicked to the ground.

Before he understood what was going on, he saw Rong JIan retracting his feet and straightening his skirt a little.

Xu Yao rushed forward angrily, wanting to rush up regardless.

In the next moment, Fei Jinyi's figure appeared between the tall trees, his thin face looked even more gloomy at this time, and he frowned firmly: "What the hell, there is such a bold and reckless person in this palace who is planning how to change the dynasty., I don’t even know.”

Xu Yao was still complacent, but he didn't realize what was going on at this moment. He had been in the palace for so long and hadn't seen the emperor yet, so he only vaguely sensed something from the words of these few people.

Rong Jian raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Yao coldly.

Zhang Deshui, the head of the imperial court, let out an "ouch" and said to Rong Jian: "My good master, how could he be coaxed by such rebellious traitors, come quickly to my side."

Xu Yao finally came to his senses, what did he say and what did he do, and who was this person in front of him?

The guards patrolling around also surrounded and captured the treasonist on the ground.

Half an hour later, the Liuguan Pavilion in the Humble Garden rarely gathered the most powerful people in the Taiping Palace.

The emperor, the empress dowager, Cui Gui who happened to come to participate in politics, and Rong JIan.

On such an occasion, just like the last Crazy Horse case, Rong JIan was the party involved and the victim, but he couldn't speak and just watched from the sidelines.

The Empress Dowager sat in the main seat, closed her eyes, twirling the beads in her hand, without saying a word.She was still paying respects to the Buddha in the Hall of Compassion and Peace just now, when she heard the news suddenly, she almost couldn't get up, she waited for a while before driving to the Humble Garden.

Fei Jinyi's self-cultivation is quite astonishing. At this time, he could no longer see the anger in the Humble Garden when he heard about this matter, and he said sadly and worriedly: "I know that Xu Yao is your grandnephew and your blood, so I let him go.The outsider goes in and out of the harem. He has a very close conversation with the princess, and the son knows it very well. Thinking that they are all your blood, the marriage between the younger children is even more a happy event."

Rong Jian listened silently.

During the few days when he didn't go to Yangfuzhai to study, Mr. Qi also wrote a post to Rong Jian, saying that he knew why he didn't come to study, and Mr. Xu was nothing to be afraid of.He stayed in Beijing for a month, and he had already accepted many gifts from the duke, and he even accepted things from merchants without any scruple, and he never refused.He is white, but because he is the grandnephew of the Empress Dowager, well-informed people all know the reason for his capital, and they all give him face and take the opportunity to make money.

What Mr. Qi meant was to find a ginseng book for him, condemn him to return to his hometown, prevent him from causing trouble in the palace, and disturb the princess's studies.

In the final analysis, it is still for school.

Rong Jian rejected this approach.

He knew very well in his heart that even if this Xu Guangzong left, the other nephews of the Xu family were still on the way, and they would be very troublesome in the future and had to be settled once and for all.

Empress Dowager wants him to marry the Xu family and give birth to a baby emperor who can be controlled; while the emperor hopes to sit on the throne until he dies, and then pass the throne to Fei Shichun to become his own family.

Although in fact both sides are fighting wits and courage against the air, because as a boy, Rong Jian has no ability to bear children at all.

And Empress Dowager is acting so arrogantly now, because of the Crazy Horse case, the emperor was at a disadvantage.That's all it takes for Empress Dowager to make a mistake.

Rong Jian didn't know how to make Empress Dowager make a mistake, but it was really easy for Xu Yao to make such a mistake.

The hard part is timing and messaging.It was difficult for Jin Yiwei to disclose the emperor's whereabouts, but it was easy to tell about the affairs with those concubines.But it is not a big deal for the concubine to bribe the little eunuch accompanying the emperor.

Waiting at Xiaochun Pavilion in the Humble Garden today is Concubine Xiao Gui who is about to play the piano.

It's a pity that Concubine Xiao Gui is destined not to be able to wait for the emperor today.

However, all kinds of accidents and coincidences in the meantime, just a little bit, may not meet the emperor.Rong Jian's backup plan is Concubine Xiao Gui, but this is almost meaningless, maybe it won't have the same effect as it is now.

Fortunately it was done.Rong Jian was holding hot tea in his hand, he was not happy after the event, and thought almost calmly.

Fei Jinyi said: "The minister is just taking care of the government affairs on his behalf. If one day, the Rong family has an heir, the minister will immediately return to the field to take care of the elderly without saying a word, and return the world to the Rong family. But this Xu Yao, who is so bold, actuallyCoaxing the princess, intending to usurp the government and make Guo Zuo fall aside."

Xu Yao had been tied hands and feet, pressed to the ground, and his tears had been shed half an hour ago. At this time, he wanted to cry but had no tears, so he kowtowed desperately on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! Empress Dowager!Nonsense, you must not take it seriously, please spare the life of the grassroots!"

Fei Jinyi heaved a long sigh: "Mother, this thief wants to return the child the princess gives birth to in the Xu family. This kind of thieves are outrageous, and I have to deal with it."

He raised his voice again and asked: "Old Cui Ge, what do you think?"

Cui Gui was sitting on the chair opposite Rong Jian, he was old, and his ears didn't seem to be very good, he reacted for a while and said: "What your Majesty said is very true, very true."

Seeing such a situation, Xu Yao kneeled to the Empress Dowager Xu's feet, trying to arouse her pity, but before she got close, she was kicked away by Madam Chen, and wailed, "Grandmother, grandma, I am your nephew!"

The Empress Dowager Xu closed her eyes, and the beads in her hands were spinning faster and faster. She looked benevolent, but what she said was: "This bastard, sent out to be killed, is not allowed to be encoffined, but is only allowed to be buried in a random grave in the suburbs.We all know what happens to those who dare to seek rebellion."

However, Mr. Xu managed to save his life in the end.

Fei Jinyi exiled him to the abandoned capital, took his surname, but spared his life, in order to remind the world that the Empress Dowager's ambition is clear, and there are witnesses and evidences.

That's how this farce came to an end.

Rong Jian was also very tired. He bid farewell to the emperor and Empress Dowager, and left after getting permission.

When Cui Ge walked past him, the other party gave him a thumbs up.

It means great.

What Qi Zeqing said was only a temporary relief.However, Rong JIan's move made Empress Dowager afraid to arrange a marriage for the princess in a short time.Both Empress Dowager and the Emperor have made mistakes in recent days, and it is necessary to maintain the balance of the past.

Rong Jian paused and walked out of the Liuguan Pavilion.

Presumably, for a long time, he would never want to come to this garden again.

The person waiting outside was Akino.

He didn't stand with those palace people, he walked towards him with a bright lamp in his hand.

Rong Jian was startled, and asked in a daze, "Didn't you take a rest today?"

Ming Ye held the lamp: "It's nothing, I'm back."

He looked at Rong Jian's face and asked softly: "What's the matter, is Your Highness tired?"

Rong Jian pursed his lips. In fact, when he was inside, he was trying to cheer up. Now when Ming Ye asked, he felt very tired.

He didn't have that kind of talent for planning. Although he didn't regret it when he decided to do this, he was always afraid of making a mistake and losing everything.

What should we do then?Will the emperor discover his identity?

He was actually scared too.

Rong Jian stretched out his hand to Chao Mingye, he wanted this person to support him, and said softly: "I'm so tired, and I'm so scared."
