Chapter 481 The evaluation is so high?
Chapter 481 The evaluation is so high?
"Thoughtful, calm, patient, calm and wise."
Li Mulan was a little incredulous, "Such a high evaluation?"
Chu Chenfeng picked up a piece of food for Li Mulan with chopsticks and said, "If it weren't for our opposing status, I would be very willing to make such a friend."
Li Mulan was even more curious now. "What you said makes me want to meet Duanmu Zijun even more."
"If there is a chance, you will naturally have to accompany me to the palace banquet tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow is the day when Erbao returns to his roots, I..."
"That's in the morning. We can finish it with lunch at most. It won't affect anything."
Li Mulan nodded. "That's good, but I've been looking through the storehouse in the mansion these past two days, trying to find something suitable to give to Erbao, but I haven't found anything. Do you have any recommendations?"
Chu Chenfeng smiled, "I've prepared it for you."
"Oh, so thoughtful?" Li Mulan looked curious, "What is it?"
"It's not something rare. It's a few books on military strategy that I got by chance some time ago. I've read them and they're pretty good."
"If you think something is good, it must be good. Erbao will definitely like it. Thank you."
Looking at the satisfied Li Mulan, Chu Chenfeng's eyes were so gentle that they were almost sickening, "Between you and me, do I still need to thank you?"
Li Mulan smiled sweetly, "Well, it's indeed not necessary, hehe. By the way, the emperor has granted Princess Simon to marry Ye Tianyu, aren't you afraid that he will come back to settle accounts with you?"
Chu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "This is the emperor's decree, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Mulan glanced at him and said, "Who do you think would believe this? Who else could have come up with this idea except you? I think if General Ye got wind of this news at the border, he would come back to settle the score with you without stopping."
"He can't beat me."
"Hehe, so you are fearless? General Ye has no objection?"
"General Ye is devoted to the country, so he will naturally not object. Besides, he has been worried about Mingqi's marriage, so he can't wait to be happy."
Li Mulan:...Why doesn’t she believe it...
At this moment, Ye Mingqi, who was at the border, was discussing something with his subordinates when he suddenly sneezed several times. His subordinates came to show their concern. After all, the young general was seriously injured a while ago, and he must not let anything go wrong again. Ye Mingqi waved his hand to show that it was okay, but he was still a little panicked inside, always feeling that someone was plotting against him...
After Li Mulan and Chu Chenfeng finished their dinner, they walked hand in hand in the yard. It seemed that they had been getting along in this way for the past few days since they returned to Kyoto, and the two of them were quite used to it.
Li Mulan was initially worried that the relationship would be awkward and uncomfortable, but this did not happen at all.
Chu Chenfeng gave Li Mulan the maximum space, and did not urge Li Mulan to take the relationship to the next level at all, waiting for her to slowly adapt.
"I looked at some of the recent information in the pavilion today. After Xuanyuan Hong died, did your people withdraw from Northern Qi?"
Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change. "Well, Nalande is cleaning up the court, and my people have been affected. Although there are no casualties, there is really no need for them to stay."
"Naland..."
Li Mulan had a complicated expression. During the Northern Qi period, she had been living in Nalande's mansion. In fact, she had a very good impression of Nalande.
"Everyone has his own standpoint. Nalande is in a high position, and many things are no longer what he wants. The new emperor is young, and he must protect him. Being lenient will not accomplish anything."
"I understand all of this. I did some things when I was in Northern Qi. I'm worried that Nalande will be wary of you because of me."
"Haha," Chu Chenfeng laughed in a low voice, "Even if you, Lan'er, weren't here, Nalande would still be on guard against me."
Li Mulan also smiled, "Yes, you are the regent of Daqing. The relationship between Daqing and Northern Qi was also delicate before. Many things were not put on the surface, but both sides had their own plans. At least before the new emperor of Northern Qi can take charge, Northern Qi should be able to be more peaceful."
"Yes, so it's okay for my people to withdraw. And Situ Yue was forced to go to his fiefdom. Although his ability is average, he is arrogant and will never accept his fate. Nalande will probably not be able to live in peace in the future."
Li Mulan looked at Chu Chenfeng teasingly, "I guess you must have contributed to this."
Chu Chenfeng smiled and didn't respond.
"Nalande is still a little soft-hearted. How could Situ Yue let him leave safely? Isn't this just burying a mine for himself?"
"Xuanyuan Hong was able to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, abandoning Situ Yue and helping Nalande. Nalande should remember this favor. Otherwise, it might chill the hearts of those who stood on his side in the first place."
Li Mulan curled her lips, "Human hearts are the most complicated."
Chu Chenfeng did not deny it, "There is one more thing. On the day Xuanyuan Hong died, your third senior brother's people appeared in Beiqi."
When it comes to Xuanyuan Hong's death, Li Mulan feels guilty for no reason. If it weren't for her negligence, Xuanyuan Hong wouldn't have noticed the clues, let alone have any thoughts that shouldn't have been there. She knows that Xuanyuan Hong's death must be related to her master, and of course it was also for her.
She didn't know how much Nalande knew about the matter, but since her master and third senior brother had stopped, there must be no problem.
"Well, I'll let Third Senior Brother pay attention to this matter."
Chu Chenfeng said no more, but Li Mulan herself became awkward, "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"So what do you want to say?"
Li Mulan shook her head, "Master doesn't allow me to say it."
"Is it harmful to you?"
Li Mulan shook her head, "Master and the others have taken care of it."
"That's fine. The senior didn't let you speak, so he must have his reasons."
Looking at Chu Chenfeng who was so sensible, Li Mulan once again sighed that she had a very good vision.
The next day.
The Ye Mansion was extremely lively. Almost all the well-known figures in Kyoto were invited to witness Erbao's return to his ancestral home.
Everyone also learned that the newly found child of the Ye family was actually a subordinate of the Regent Princess. No wonder Chu Chenfeng and Li Mulan were sitting at the top at this moment.
The matter was not truly settled until Erbao’s name, Ye Ziqi, was recorded in the Ye family tree.
Ye Ziqi was dressed in white, and looked gentle and polite, with the demeanor of a handsome nobleman from Kyoto.
At the banquet, everyone came forward with wine glasses in hand to congratulate.
Ye Tianyu followed his newly recognized brother the whole time, fearing that some ignorant person would bully him.
But unexpectedly, Ye Ziqi's performance throughout the whole process was a model for Kyoto aristocratic children, without any mistakes.
Ye Feng felt even more satisfied after seeing this, he was worthy of being a member of the Ye family.
*
In the evening, the palace hosted a banquet for Simon.
Li Mulan was wearing a bright red palace dress, with her waist-length hair tied up high. She was extremely beautiful, and just sat in her seat without saying a word, looking dignified, elegant, and charming.
