Family Has a Concubine

Ye Tangcai sat on the chair, her brows furrowed tightly.

Huiran and Qingliu didn't dare to make a sound, they just stared at Xiaoyue.

Huiran said: "Third Grandma, let's have something to eat first."

Ye Tangcai was really worried and couldn't eat any more, but thinking of the baby in her stomach, she nodded, "Yeah."

When I came to the small hall, I ate half a bowl of porridge and a few snacks, and then went back to the living room. Huiran sent Qingliu and others away.

"Tomorrow, let's hit Mr. Chen to find out, and see how the third master is doing." Huiran knew what Chu Yunpan was planning, and her heart was lifted.

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded.

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of cheers outside: "Third Lord."

Ye Tangcai and Huiran were startled, Ye Tangcai jumped up and ran out, and she saw Chu Yunpan walking through the courtyard in a weathered suit.

"Third Master." Ye Tang was overjoyed and hurried down the steps.

Chu Yunpan was startled when he saw that she was only wearing a long coat with carved silk silver and sprinkled with crabapple flowers, not even a cloak and a coat, but she ran out like this, and quickly pulled her into his arms, and used the outer cloak Wrapped tightly: "Why did you come out?" He said and stared at Qingliu and Huiran behind him, "Don't put any clothes on the third grandma."

Qingliu and Huiran turned pale, and hurriedly apologized: "This servant is negligent." The two of them are also suffering.

When they heard Chu Yunpan coming home, Ye Tangcai ran out before they could react.

Ye Tangcai was tightly wrapped by his black cloak, and raised her head from inside: "Third Lord."

"Yeah." Chu Yunpan looked at her little white face, smiled and rubbed her face, "Let's go in quickly."

As he spoke, he picked her up and smiled lightly: "It's heavy."

Ye Tangcai also smiled: "It's a bit longer." He was talking about her stomach.

The two walked through the courtyard and walked into the house. When Qingliu and the others saw Chu Yunpan come back, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiaoyue really heard the nonsense, and she was really a false alarm.

Watching the two enter the house, Hui Ran dragged Qing Liu and the others to wait outside, but did not go in.

Back at the house, Chu Yunpan put Ye Tangcai down, and Ye Tangcai quickly helped him take off his cloak, and put it on the colorful screen beside him: "Are you really in the Ministry of Criminal Justice? What's going on?"

Chu Yunpan was taken aback: "I heard the news so early."

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded, "What's the matter?"

"That nest of bandits." Chu Yunpan sneered, "The remnants of the bandits took advantage of the relaxation of the Ministry of Penalties during the Chinese New Year to save people."

"Prefect Ma and the gangsters cooperated to frame you earlier, but can you find out who is behind the scenes?" Ye Tang said.

Chu Yunpan's eyes flickered slightly: "Never. No matter Ma Zhifu or the bandit, their mouths are very tight, no matter how hard they fight, they just don't want to reveal a single word."

"Then why did you get detained?" Ye Tang said.

"Oh." Chu Yunpan's expression turned cold: "I arranged the defense of the Ministry of Punishment, but the gangsters sneaked in silently, so the Ministry of Punishment came to invite me."

Ye Tangcai frowned: "Isn't the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in the palace? It should be guarded by the Imperial Army. Why are you setting up the defense?"

Chu Yunpan said: "The leaders of the bandits are cunning. Many people died trying to catch them. Only I caught them back. The prince was afraid that they would escape or be rescued, so he asked me to guard against the guards there."

Ye Tangcai said: "The imperial guards are not your soldiers, if something goes wrong, how can it be blamed on you."

"It's not my fault. I just left more time to see how those people came in. That's why I came home late and said nothing." Chu Yunpan smiled lightly.

Ye Tangcai breathed a sigh of relief, "What about King Liang?"

Chu Yunpan shook his head: "There were traces of him in the north, and then we helped him lead away from the Zheng family. He seemed to be heading west. Since he couldn't be found, I can only say that there is something wrong with him, and I don't want to follow him for the time being." Let's meet. Let's talk about it after I take down the Jingwei camp."

"En." Ye Tangcai nodded, thinking of Zhao Yingqi.

She wasn't worried about King Liang, but only worried about Zhao Yingqi, this delicate and tender one, who was eating and sleeping outside now, she didn't know what happened.

"Third Master, the food is ready." Hui Ran's voice sounded from outside.

Ye Tangcai hurriedly pulled him: "Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry too."

Chu Yunpan was dragged by her to the dining room, holding her waist: "Have you not eaten yet?"

"I ate a little, and now I'm hungry again." Ye Tangcai said.

Just now she was worried about him and couldn't eat anymore. Now that he's back, she has an appetite again.

After the couple finished their meal, before they could rinse their mouths, they saw Yu Han running in: "Third Lord."

"How?" Chu Yunpan looked up.

"I just received a notice from the court, saying that the seal will be opened in advance, and the court will be early tomorrow." Yu Han said.

Ye Tangcai was startled, and exchanged a glance with Chu Yunpan.

Tomorrow is only the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Generally, the imperial court will open the seal after the 15th day of Zhengyue, but now it is ahead of schedule.

"Understood." Chu Yunpan said calmly, then turned to Ye Tangcai and said, "Don't think too much about it."

"Okay." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"It's so cold, let's go, I'll read to you." Chu Yunpan chuckled.

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai always had a smile on his face.

After the two rinsed their mouths and hands, they returned to the living room. Chu Yunpan was half lying on the couch, Ye Tangcai was lying in his arms, covered with a moderately thick Tianyun brocade quilt.

Chu Yunpan read "The Analects" there.

Ye Tangcai felt drowsy, but still forced to open his eyes: "Will it hear it like this?"

"Yes." Chu Yunpan smiled, "After Tie Dan was born, we will also teach him to be the number one scholar."

Ye Tang stared at him: "It's Sugar Baby."

"Okay." Chu Yunpan stroked her stomach, "The male is called Tie Dan, and the female is called Sugar Baby."

Ye Tangcai's face darkened: "Men should also be called sugar babies."

Chu Yunpan didn't respond to her, as if he wanted to call Tie Dan anyway.

Ye Tangcai looked at the sky speechlessly, and said again: "If it was a girl, would you like it?"

"I like it." Chu Yunpan nodded.

Ye Tangcai was very happy when he heard this, and he was afraid that he would not like it: "But you read "The Analects of Confucius" every day, but it is a girl, so it cannot be the number one scholar in the exam."

"That makes sense." Chu Yunpan said, "Do you want me to read "Nvrui" and "Nvjie"?"

"No!" Ye Tangcai snorted softly, "That's...a deceptive thing. I can teach my children myself, and I don't need to point them out in books."

Chu Yunpan lowered his head and rubbed her nose: "Then let's continue reading "The Analects of Confucius."

"Uh-huh."

Chu Yunpan read for another half an hour, and Ye Tangcai had already fallen asleep in his arms.

Chu Yunpan had no choice but to carry her to bed and rest together.

Early the next morning, before dawn, he put on an official robe and went to court.

New Year's festive window grilles and red lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace.

But because Emperor Zhengxuan was seriously ill, he didn't dare to be too lively, even the palace banquet was cancelled.
