Chapter 223: Childhood Dependence
Quan Qingyun felt guilty under his gaze and almost didn't dare to look at him. He just stuffed the remaining six into his hands.
Ye Feizhou did not take it, but stood up and took two steps to the side. "I don't want these either, they are useless. Thank you, Third Prince. I will send the money to you tomorrow. It's too late now, I have to go."
As he was about to walk to the door, Quan Qingyun grabbed him, "Are you trying to piss me off?" He took a deep breath, and tried to be calm and not too harsh. "I know it's my fault, but I didn't expect you to come at this hour. Yes, this is not an excuse, and it's not the right time... Feizhou, don't go back, rest here for a night, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Ye Feizhou frowned, and Quan Qingyun compromised, "I don't live here, I'll live in another courtyard." "Which courtyard?"
"...Anyway, it's not the same courtyard as before. Don't worry, I'll go to the guest house and I won't cause any trouble for you, okay, ancestor?"
Ye Feizhou fell silent, and Quan Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to keep silent than to be rejected.
"The study is for you. Sleep in if you can. If you can't, find a book to read. It's up to you. Don't bother in the middle of the night."
"The study is an important place. It's not appropriate for me to stay here, and it's even more inappropriate for me to flip through books." Ye Feizhou still felt a little awkward.
Quan Qingyun gritted his teeth, "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable! Ye Feizhou, there are countless secret guards in my Renwang Palace. Even if the emperor wants to break in, they can kill him immediately. The only thing is that you can come and go at will. You can come and go freely in the palace, do you think I need a study room to guard against you? There is no book in this room that you can't read, and no paper that you can't look at. Anyway, stay here peacefully, and we can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Ye Feizhou finally stopped talking. Quan Qingyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Although I'm not a good person, I will never do anything bad to you. Go to sleep. I have to go to court early tomorrow morning. I'll come to see you before I go to court."
After saying this, he placed the remaining six deeds on the table and said, "If you want to take them, take them. If you don't want to take them, just leave them here. I bought these lands and properties for you. There are also banknotes on the table. Take them with you when you leave. Don't let yourself down."
After Quan Qingyun left, Ye Feizhou went to lie on the couch in the inner room of the study, but he couldn't fall asleep.
He had lived in Renwang Mansion before, when he was young. When he was bullied by his family, he would cry and run here. Everyone in Renwang Mansion knew that their master loved the young master of the Ye family, so as long as he came, everyone in the mansion would take care of him, give him delicious food, and make him happy.
He was young at that time, and usually he would be happy after a few coaxings. But sometimes he couldn't be coaxed well, so he had to wait for Quan Qingyun to come back and coax him himself. He would fall asleep while coaxing, and Quan Qingyun would carry him back to his room and sit by the couch to watch over him all night. The next day, he would personally send him home, and then put on the airs of a king to warn his parents that they must be nice to him, otherwise he would not be polite.
After this happened so many times, his parents became a little annoyed, but they didn't dare to bother Quan Qingyun, so they could only bother him.
When he grew up, his father wanted to send him away, so he took the opportunity to express his desire to learn martial arts. The reason was that he thought the Third Prince was very good at martial arts, and he wanted to be as good as him.
His father scoffed at this and said that he was so thin that he couldn't even lift a sword. However, if he could be sent away under the opportunity of practicing martial arts, so that he wouldn't be around all day, it would be worth considering. Moreover, if he could really master it, he would be a helper to his sister in the future and could also be a swordsman.
Sending them to the Jianghu to learn martial arts is different from sending them to the military camp to train. Although it is martial arts, the methods used in the Jianghu are not applicable on the battlefield. I have never heard of Jianghu masters leading troops to fight, so the Ye family does not object to their children learning Jianghu Kung Fu.
Just like that, his father agreed to let him learn martial arts, but he only agreed and didn't care about anything else. He didn't find a master for him, nor did he give him a thank-you gift, but he didn't give him money to spend.
Later, it was Quan Qingyun who stepped in and begged the master to take him in. He gave him a large sum of money and also left him a lot of money to spend.
He rarely returned to the capital since then, but Quan Qingyun would find opportunities to visit him twice every year.
He had been to this Renwang Palace after returning from his studies, but he had never stayed here again. Today was his first time.
The palace has changed a lot from before. The study has changed, the courtyard layout has changed, and the people inside are also different from before.
He didn't know where all those women came from in Renwang Palace, and since when did Quan Qingyun become so interested in women.
I still remember that when he just returned to Beijing, he didn't even bother to go home, and ran to the Prince Ren's Mansion to find Quan Qingyun. As a result, he was stopped by the steward as soon as he entered the backyard. The steward said that he could not go in again. The past was the past, and now is now. In the past, you were a child, so naturally there were no taboos. But now you have grown up, you have to abide by the rules and know where you can and cannot go. The backyard is where His Majesty and his wives live. There are many female relatives, and it is really inconvenient for you, a foreign man.
He was dumbfounded at the time and didn't understand what the ladies meant. He thought that Quan Qingyun got married and had a queen and a concubine.
He had been gone for many years, and it turned out that everything was different from before, including the people.
He was very sad that time and left without saying anything. He went home to see his parents and relatives, gave things to his sisters, and also remembered to secretly give two more to Xiao Si. But no matter what he did, the words of the housekeeper of Renwang Mansion kept echoing in his mind.
His heart was in a mess and he was in a daze. He still hadn't recovered until Quan Qingyun came to see him the next day.
I heard that later Quan Qingyun beat the butler to death and informed everyone in the mansion that Young Master Ye had no taboos in Renwang Mansion and could come and go as he pleased. Anyone who dared to stop him or say anything irresponsible would suffer the same fate as the butler.
But there was no shortage of women in the harem, they still lived there and served as they should. It was said that His Highness Niou was enjoying his favor every night and was very happy.
He has been unhappy since then.
Ye Feizhou took a deep breath, forced himself not to think about those things, closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw that woman in a veil standing at the door, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you." As soon as I opened my eyes, I could hear Quan Qingyun's last, heart-warming cry.
Feeling annoyed, he simply stood up, put away the six deeds he had already obtained, and weighed down the other six on the table with a paperweight. Then he opened the door and walked out of the house, then carefully closed the door.
There was a secret guard outside the study room, and when he saw him coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Second Young Master, His Highness wants you to have a good rest."
He frowned when he heard it, "Are you going to stop me?"
"I dare not." The secret guard immediately lowered his head. "Your Highness has already said that you can come and go freely in this Prince Ren's Mansion at any time. You cannot stop me at any time. So you can go, but I hope you can stay. Your Highness has gone to sleep in the outer courtyard, and there are no women."
He said "hmm" and left.
The secret guard didn't chase him, but just stood there, until he could no longer see him, then he sighed and shook his head.
This Second Master Ye has been at odds with the Third Prince ever since he returned to the capital. It has been a few years now, and he has hardly ever smiled.
I heard that it was not like this before. Although Ye Er Shao was bullied at home when he was a child, he would become very happy whenever he came to Ren Wang Mansion. However, after practicing martial arts, he was no longer seen smiling in Ren Wang Mansion after he came back.
He became thinner and thinner, so thin that he seemed like he would be blown away by the slightest wind.
At first, no one understood why the Second Young Master Ye became so awkward. He was not in a good mood towards His Highness all day long. Even though His Highness almost tried to coax him in a humble manner, he still looked cold and aloof.
Later, some people said that Second Young Master Ye was angry with the Third Prince because of the women in the backyard. He didn't want the Third Prince to have women in the backyard, and he didn't want to hear that the Third Prince was close to those women.
Normally this is not normal. Young Master Ye has gone a bit too far. If Your Highness knew what he was thinking, he should stay away from him.
But His Highness was unwilling to stay away. He was a very imposing man at ordinary times, but he would soften his voice when he saw Second Young Master Ye. He would not be obedient, but at least he would be calm. Even if Second Young Master Ye got angry with him, Third Highness never got angry with him. He even sold a concubine that he loved very much and had favored for more than ten days because Second Young Master Ye saw her and cared too much about her.
But some things are contradictory. If the Third Prince indulged Young Master Ye's thoughts, it means that he also had some of these thoughts. Normally speaking, if the two of them had the same idea, then shouldn't the women in the back house be cleared out?
The Third Prince was not clear about this, not only that, he also kept calling back new people.
It was a lively night, and someone had caught him red-handed. His Highness had coaxed Young Master Ye for so long, but in the end he still failed. The secret guard shook his head, disappeared into the night, and went to report the news to his master.
That night, His Highness Prince Ren made Ye Feizhou unable to sleep all night. And there was another house in the capital that was also quite lively, that was Prince Su's villa.
Ever since the Su Palace was burned, the Sixth Prince has taken everyone in the palace to live in the other courtyard. The other courtyard is also in the inner city. Although it is not as grand as the palace, it is also elegant and newly built, so the ground dragon did not have much impact on the house. The collapsed houses are all servants' rooms, far away from the master's courtyard!
Ye Hongzhuang's belly has been around for more than three months, almost four months, and it's starting to show a little. Normally, she can cover it up with clothes, but if she only wears a bellyband, it can still be seen a little.
Ye Hongzhuang was beaten again tonight, and this was not the first time. She had been beaten since two days before New Year's Eve. And the one who beat her was none other than the man she had tried so hard to get, even at the risk of getting pregnant before marriage.
Tonight, the Sixth Prince held a board in his hand, and hit her on her back, waist, and legs. In short, all the places that could be covered by clothes would be hit, but the hands, face, and neck were left out so that she could pretend in front of others.
Ye Hongzhuang fell to the side of the bed and begged bitterly: "Please don't hit me anymore, I'm still pregnant with your child, if you continue to hit him, he will be hurt."
The Sixth Prince snorted coldly and hit him with the board again, "Who cares about your child? I am in good health and can have as many children as I want. I don't want the one in your belly at all."
Ye Hongzhuang was almost scared to death. She was beaten almost every day these days, and she had to hear him say that he didn't want the child every day. She was really scared. If she didn't have the child, what was the point of her being here? She was the queen, but she lived worse than a slave. If she had known this would happen, why did she want to get involved in this mess?
"Ugly." The Sixth Prince looked at the scar on her face with disdain. It was cut by Ye Wenyan on the wedding day, and it has not healed yet. "I really can't understand why he thought you were so good and was willing to marry you into the Su Palace, squeezing out your fourth sister. She is obviously much prettier than you, so why did he fall for you?"
These words made Ye Hongzhuang shudder, and the feeling that Quan Qinglu was not Quan Qinglu came up again.
She crossed her arms in front of her and asked tremblingly: "You, who are you?"
