Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Ye Tianli Eat Loss
THE empress dowager'S PALACE.
Ye Tianli did not say much after Li Chang Su and Mu Xianzhai left. He still sipped his tea quietly. Under the dim light of the wall-mounted lantern, the empress dowager coughed quite loudly and asked her servant to leave.
There was something he wanted to talk about with this man. After the maid left the room and closed the door tightly, the empress dowager let out a long sigh. His right hand was a little tingling. But his chest was not as tight as it was.
"Maybe Master Ye has guessed what Aijia wants?" Ask a little bit of an early conversation.
It was late in the evening actually, but the atmosphere in the room was quite cold. Ye Tianli had no enmity with the empress dowager, but there was also no friendship. His arrival here was purely due to business. If the empress dowager had only asked her to come to ask about Mu Peizhi's illness, she would not have answered.
"Don't know what the empress dowager wants?"
Ye Tianli took another sip of his tea and thought about what he really wanted to do for him. He rarely met the empress dowager. Even the second prince alone would find it difficult to meet him on an ordinary day.
Not to mention, Ye Tianli did not want to have any problems with the empress dowager. He was on the second prince's side. And Mu Xianzhai supported him openly. If he wanted to help Mu Peizhi ascend the throne, then respected people should be approached.
But it wasn't easy to make the empress dowager nod. No wonder if all this time, Mu Peizhi as difficult to meet the empress dowager. The old woman avoided the inner palace conflict.
There was silence for a while. Neither Ye Tianli nor the empress dowager spoke. And it was possible that the empress dowager was thinking of something. Then he looked at the young man with a bad look. This made Ye Tianli himself confused. What's wrong with the question?
Before long, the empress dowager snorted for a while, then gave a convincing answer, “Aijia just wanted Mr. Ye to look for a chef who could make a lot of dishes at the wedding banquet Zhai’er.”
“Why should I?" Ask.
"As the national trade boss of Bingshui State, Mr. Ye definitely has ties with many parties. This could convince Aijia."
"...," He is the boss of the trade, not the intermediary of two parties.
"Also, for the fee, Aijia sure won't be a problem for Master Ye either."
"...!!?"
This time Ye Tianli almost choked on his tea. Doesn't that mean the empress dowager asked her to pay all the invited chefs to cook and entertain the guests. In cold weather like this, serving body-warming foods is definitely better.
After coughing twice, Ye Tianli did not know whether to laugh or cry without tears. How much would he have to spend to pay the quality chefs? It would confine over hundreds of thousands of his gold coins.
It was only fitting that Ye Tianli felt that if his arrival here would not be a good result. And it's true. There are no good results. This is not a negotiation or business cooperation. Actually the empress dowager was asking her to spend money to pay the chefs who cooked on Li Chang Su's wedding day.
He let out a long sigh and wanted to complain, "Didn't the empress dowager have a lot of inheritance?"
"That's for Li Chang Su's dowry, it's impossible to sell. Aijia knew Mr. Ye would be kind enough to donate some of his silver in the royal wedding."
"...."
Not at all. He's not interested.
"As a former fate silver dragon bracelet, should the empress dowager have many treasures?" Guess her.
"That's for a hereditary dowry. Unable to sell," the empress dowager shook her head, then coughed lightly.
"....," Ye Tianli did not know what else to give. Why didn't the empress dowager say it was stingy?
Everything for the dowry. Ye Tianli did not know what he was eating in this palace. Even the chef has to pay. Although this included intentional extortion, Ye Tianli did not feel a great loss. But this really hurts his heart.
At first he came for thinking if the empress dowager would do big business, but it turned out that this was beyond his expectations. After talking about this, he finally left the room.
The empress widow could only do this. He knew that Ye Tianli definitely had feelings for Li Chang Su. Although he had been silent in his residence without doing anything, the dark guards continued to report a lot of information. Including about Ye Tianli's interest towards Li Chang Su.
His personal servant came in and brought him a low-sugar cake. Keep it on the table by the bed. The empress' widow looked so tired. And sit on the head of the bed. Pillows were stacked to support his old body.
Had the retired emperor been here, the empress dowager would not have needed to be lonely and pondering at all times. Makes his health bad. Now, the other party wanted to kill the empress dowager and hasten the emperor to patent the emperor's seat in the future. This must have something to do with the queen.
The empress' widow coughed again. The waiter gave her a glass of water. Because his right hand hurt, he could only use his left hand.
The servant was surprised and immediately calmed her down, "The empress' widow always prayed for the retired emperor. Wishing the retired emperor ten thousand years of life," he prayed.
Did ya?
But the empress dowager felt bitter in her heart. He also hopes so. But who will know what happens in the future?
Meanwhile, this time ...
When Ye Tianli came out of the palace courtyard of the empress dowager, his face was ugly. The cold air did not make him feel good, it was even cooler.
Mu Peizhi who was inside the carriage frowned as he looked back with a bad face. Seems like their conversation didn't go well?
After getting inside the horse carriage, Ye Tianli poured tea for himself and moistened his dry throat. Then asked the coachman to take her to the auction building.
"Did grandma call you and piss you off? Ask Mu Peizhi.
"It's business but not business."
"What do you mean?"
"The empress' widow wants me to gather a lot of chefs to cook on your third brother's wedding day."
"Then just look for it," Mu Peizhi did not want to bother with this matter.
"The problem is, it's all my responsibility!" He said he wanted to curse people.
"...."
Money was no problem for Ye Tianli. All this time, the man had a lot of money. Just like his third brother, Mu Xianzhai. For the sake of the green jade necklace when it was at the auction, it actually dared to bid a lot of money. It was all because of Li Chang Su.
Suddenly he wanted to laugh. But refraining from making Ye Tianli even more annoyed. Instead, he coughed a little. Who's hurting this business man now. Can't even dispute the empress dowager's words.
"How long have we been like brothers?" Ask.
"Maybe for years. Why ask this?" Ye Tianli frowned, looking at the slightly pale-faced young man.
He knew Mu Peizhi had been sick for a long time. Heart disease is always a concern. Not to mention with this kind of cold weather, he even drove her to meet the empress dowager. Fortunately, there was a warm brazier that warmed up the place.
Mu Peizhi wore his bone white robe and fox hairy scarf. It makes his body warmer. Although his face was a bit pale, he still had the charisma of a prince in general. You can smile and respond to other people's complaints.
Behind his gentle and harmless-looking nature, Mu Peizhi was actually no more ruthless than Mu Xianzhai. Or just say if all the children of the emperor had a cruel character. It all depends on the arrangement of the concubine's mother.
"We've been like siblings for years. So the problem of spending money on a chef, forget it. Isn't that a little silver to you?"
"...."
So the point is because the two are like brothers, this does not need to be discussed anymore? But Ye Tianli couldn't stand it and wanted to find someone to find a chef.
It's just less than three days. He doesn't have much time for all that.
Finally, the complaint was dismissed. He started thinking about Mu Peizhi's heart disease. The man's face grew pale with time, making him remove the warm robe lying not far from him. Throwing the robe at him, he was a little relieved.
"Don't make yourself cold. I've found someone who might cure your heart disease. But he was very young to be called a physician or doctor. He would come with Mu Xianzhai sooner tau later."
Ye Tianli opened his folding fan and covered the smile.
Seeing Ye Tianli's sly eyes, the man smiled wryly and put on his warm robe. This disease is difficult to cure. However, it also includes congenital diseases. Her mother also had heart disease and died a few years ago.
But she may be lucky enough to still have a mother's love since childhood. Remembering her would be Mu Xianzhai who had lost all of her mother's love since childhood. No wonder if to this day, that great man had become even more cruel and fearful. But act like a obedient man.
"You said very young? What's that guy's name?" Ask.
