Chapter 1109 1110 [Pei Yue’s ambition]

For Pei Yue, the formation in front of him was quite rare.

Not only were there no maids and wives in the hall, but Lin Shuyue and Taohua were also not present. It was obviously intentional by the two princesses.

He raised his eyes and looked into Ye Qi's eyes. Seeing that the other party had no intention of resentment, he couldn't help but feel relieved gradually. Then he walked to Gu Zhen and sat down, and said frankly: "This matter is due to my greed and it has nothing to do with Miss Shen. It has nothing to do with Miss Shen." I hope the two ladies will not be angry."

Gu Zhen lowered her eyes slightly, shook her head and said: "I never blamed my husband -"

The words stopped suddenly, and she suddenly remembered the discussion before Pei Yue came back. She couldn't help but quickly turned to look at Ye Qi, and then a somewhat embarrassed look appeared on her face.

Ye Qishi smiled and said: "That's all, I already know that you won't go against his wishes, so let me do the talking."

Pei Yue quietly gave Gu Zhen a grateful look, and then looked at Ye Qi, who was sitting upright.

Ye Qi said unhurriedly: "As my husband is the only official duke in the country, it doesn't matter if there are more people in the back house. After all, this is the case in all the dignitaries' mansions in Kyoto. However, the hundred days of national mourning will not last. However, is your husband a little anxious? Yesterday, your husband sent a personal soldier to deliver a message to your family. I originally wanted to go to Shen's house to find you, but I was afraid that Shen Danmo would break up with you because of this - I know that she looks calm but is actually very cheeky. Bo. After much thought, I finally gave it up."

Pei Yue nodded repeatedly, and then whispered: "Miss Shen and I just drank and reminisced in the flower hall last night."

Ye Qiyao snorted softly, then shook her head and said: "Don't I even know your husband's nature? This matter may be big or small. If someone in the court criticizes this in the future, my husband can only solve it by himself. , what we are worried about is actually Miss Shen. Her husband is staying overnight in such an unclear manner, and there is no serious male owner in the house over there. Will it affect Miss Shen's reputation if word spreads about it? "

She looked into Pei Yue's eyes and said seriously: "Master Shen's matter was suppressed by the palace. They only said that he died of a sudden illness, but you and I both know that this was just because the late emperor did not want to be recorded in the history books. The emperor left a reputation for breaking with Guchen, and did not want the strength of Taishitai Pavilion to be damaged by internal strife and self-examination. But in the final analysis, the late emperor died at the hands of Mr. Shen. The emperor might be able to follow the late emperor's last wish and not embarrass the Shen family, but As time goes by, will he be able to cope with the thought of Master Shen's only daughter marrying into the Duke's palace?"

These words made Pei Yue fall into deep thought.

Shen Danmo has never concealed her attitude towards him. She had already expressed her feelings in Qishui a few years ago. In addition, in such a special atmosphere yesterday, she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings again. If Pei Yue had even the slightest hesitation , she will inevitably turn around and leave after that hug.

Let it take its course or let it take its course. After all, it is the affection accumulated by Hongyan in those years of sending letters.

Ye Qi continued: "In recent years, my husband has not been involved in drinking and sex. He has been busy with business and has little time for fun. Sister Zhen'er and I see it in our eyes and feel pain in our hearts. Naturally, we will not restrict you in our children's personal affairs, nor will we. I know that you are very measured in this matter. Husband, you are now the esteemed Duke of the country, with deep authority in your hands and countless capable people under your command. Even the emperor treats you like a teacher and a friend. It can be said that you are extremely proud of yourself."

She paused and then said in a slower tone: "Sister Zhen'er and I have no objection to your marrying Miss Shen, but the time is not right now."

Pei Yue gradually lowered his head.

Of course he understood why Ye Qi was so sincere. Although she and Shen Danmo often had disputes in the past, when Shen Danmo said goodbye in the back alley of Qinyuan last year, the two of them met without much fuss.

Ye Qi was very aware of the intersection between him and Shen Danmo, and had expected this day to come a long time ago.

The reason for such persuasion was that she was worried that Pei Yue would be arrogant and arrogant after the new king came to the throne. Even if no one could shake his position in the court at the moment, if he took the path of doing whatever he wanted, he would surely destroy himself in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Pei Yue raised his head and saw a look of worry in Gu Zhen's eyes. Knowing that she was worried about quarrels between him and Ye Qi, he smiled and reassured: "Sister Zhen'er, don't worry, I understand Ye Qi's thoughts. I have a family. I am a good wife and it’s too late to be happy, so how could I do something so stupid that I don’t know a good heart?”

Gu Zhen nodded slightly and smiled gently.

Ye Qi rolled his eyes at Pei Yue and said, "You two, Qin Se He Ming, let me be a bad guy for nothing?"

Pei Yue stood up, walked over to her and sat down next to her. He held her wrist and said, "Actually, what you said makes sense. I really didn't think well about this matter."

Ye Qi wanted to withdraw her hand, but after hearing what he said, she failed to exert any strength. She smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you understand. You must know that your sister Zhen'er has made a lot of determination to stand with me."

"Sister Ye..." Gu Zhen couldn't bear the two of them taking turns joking, her cheeks were already red.

Pei Yue said sincerely: "Everything is going well with our family. If you want to say something directly without hiding it, of course I can listen. Miss Shen is a very proud person. For the sake of what I said yesterday, I really don't want to let it go." She continues to be sad. You don’t have to worry too much, she and I won’t get to that point just yet, and we’ll wait until she has completed her filial piety period.”

Ye Qi sighed: "But you have to give her a title in the future. You can't let Master Shen's only daughter be your concubine."

Although there is a theory of three wives and four concubines in this era, it is not as understood by ordinary people. Any high-ranking official can marry three wives. Except for special circumstances such as concurrent marriage, most people can only have one official wife. The so-called three wives and four concubines are actually a hole left by the top dignitaries for themselves to meet the needs of large families for marriage.

In actual situations, the difficulty of having one head wife and two equal wives is that the head wife is basically granted marriage by the emperor, using the supreme imperial power to offset the influence of secular forces.

In other words, if Pei Yue wants the matchmaker to marry Shen Danmo, he will definitely need Liu Xian to come up with an imperial edict granting marriage.

The problem is that Emperor Kaiping could ignore Silent Cloud's assassination attempt, so how could Liu Xian, who was extremely filial, forget about it? Taking a step back, even if Liu Xian could really put down his hatred and help Pei Yue solve this trouble, it doesn't mean that All will be well.

Ye Qi and Pei Yue share life and death through thick and thin, and Gu Zhen has been staying with each other silently for many years. Suddenly, Shen Danmo is weighing on both of them in the name of his wife. How can there be peace in the family?

Pei Yue couldn't do such a thing.

No matter how you look at it, this is an unsolvable problem, so Ye Qi took the unprecedented step of dragging Gu Zhen into a husband-trial formation.

Facing the curious and worried looks of the two women, Pei Yue adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said calmly: "The reason why this problem is difficult to solve is because the position I am standing at is not high enough."

"Ms. sir..." Gu Zhen was so surprised that she couldn't express it. Although she had been staying in the house, she was also aware of the turmoil outside.

It is said that Pei Yue has made clear his position through various actions, that is, he will not spy on the imperial power, but this sentence also reveals his unabashed ambition.

He is now the Duke of the country, what else can he be?

Pei Yue smiled calmly and signaled Gu Zhen not to be nervous, and said calmly: "The Nongsang Prison and the Imperial Medical Center were successfully established. Next, I will follow the implementation of the imperial court. At the same time, Xiangyun will speed up the pace, not only to drive The development of commerce in various places will also rapidly increase the scale of the handicraft industry. In short, in some aspects, I share the same vision as His Majesty, and we both hope that Daliang will be full of vitality. But other than that, I will not give up the power in my hands, and Will further seize power."

He turned to look at Ye Qi and said seriously: "I talked to Miss Shen last night. After a while, she will lead people south to assist my husband in managing my layout in the five states in the south."

Ye Qi knew that he was talking about business, so she couldn't help but said in a funny and good-natured way: "So you had this idea. Let Sister Lin take care of the business in Duzhong for you, and let Sister Zhen'er take care of this big business in the mansion. Stall, now Shen Danmo is asked to go to the south to do work, I'm sorry you can still be so calm."

Pei Yue said without changing his expression: "Of course the whole family must work together. Does Sister Zhen'er think so?"

Gu Zhen looked at his gentle eyes, then looked at Ye Qi who raised the corner of his mouth, nodded cautiously: "Yes!"
