Zhu Houzhao was so proud of his face, but he was afraid of trouble. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to say regretfully: "Ah, since that's the case, that's all."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao said something to the envoy in a murmur. Ivan showed disappointment on his face and said a few more words to Zhu Houzhao.

After a conversation, Zhu Houzhao said to Ye Chunqiu: "I asked them to pay for it. They said that the country of Ross is poor and they are afraid they can't afford it."

If you can't afford it, forget it, Ye Chunqiu doesn't matter.

However, the strong man couldn't help but mutter a few words. Zhu Houzhao heard it and frowned, and then asked them to leave.

When the two of them left, Zhu Houzhao sat on the pavilion, looking at the lake in Taiye Lake, as if she had some thoughts. She drank a sip of tea, but she looked a little unhappy.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, what did the strong man say?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "That guy said that the world said that the Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, but he was so stingy."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "This is the heart of the people. Your Majesty, no matter how rich the Ming Dynasty is, it is the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Rewarding these people is the friendship of the Ming Dynasty to them. If they don't reward them, it is all right. But it is wrong for them to criticize them. Is it wrong for us, the Ming Dynasty, to be rich, to have to spend money everywhere? Your Majesty is so kind, so there is no need to be upset about this."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said indifferently: "I don't want to care about them. After he said this, I was a little cold-hearted and I didn't have much interest in establishing a covenant with the Ross. However, this strongman is really powerful, which really opened my eyes. This man is willing to be one and not afraid of the danger. His body looks like a bronze and iron bone, and he is not in a sword."

Ye Chunqiu has always been cautious in his words and actions, but at this moment, he suddenly had an impulse to speak. In fact, as a later generation, he hated the so-called benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism. But now, when he heard Zhu Houzhao say this, he couldn't help but want to pick up the saint's words and say to Zhu Houzhao...

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty regards loyalty as armor and etiquette as kids. What's the point of being a barbarian?"

"Uh..." Zhu Houzhao looked depressed, thought for a while, and finally smiled and said, "You have learned this trick, I guess you don't think of this strongman, okay, I don't care about him anymore."

Then, Ye Chunqiu chatted with Zhu Houzhao in Taiyechi for a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left the palace.

When Ye Chunqiu returned home, what he cared most was naturally waiting for the news from the factory guards. The Ye family now had an extra hostess. At the beginning, it was inevitable that it was not used to it. Even Old Lady Ye, who usually walked around the mansion, seemed obscene... Oh, no, it was much more solemn.

But gradually, after having a few family dinners with Princess Yongkang, she saw that she was not arrogant and could not even feel the splendor that most people should have. She tried her best to show her love as a mother, and Ye Chunqiu gradually got used to it.

In the past, there were not many rules between Ye Chunqiu and his son, but there was a mother in vain. Ye Chunqiu had to have more rules. Early in the morning, while Wang Jingchu was still asleep, he quickly got up. After washing up, he did not practice swords. Instead, he hurried outside his father's dormitory and said loudly: "Father, has the mother got up? My son greeted his parents."

Princess Yongkang inside answered: "Spring and Autumn, there is no need to be so polite. You are a young man and are busy with official duties on weekdays, so you should sleep more."

Ye Chunqiu said no, and asked about daily life and came out in a hurry.

At this time, Tang Bohu always waited for him here, and then the two walked side by side, and their pace was deliberately slow. Tang Bohu took advantage of this time to inform the recent official business. Ye Chunqiu made some decisions before he practiced swordsmanship, and finally had breakfast with Wang Jingchu and Qiqige.

In the early morning, walking in the back garden of Ye’s family always gives Ye Chunqiu a feeling of relaxation.

Today, Tang Bohu was always smiling and always happy. Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but ask: "What happy event did Brother Bohu encounter?"

Tang Bohu smiled and said, "Qiuxiang is happy."

"Who's?" Ye Chunqiu subconsciously said, looking at him in surprise.

Tang Bohu's face suddenly pulled down.

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized that in fact, Tang Bohu had let Qiuxiang pass the door, but there was no news of joy. Mr. Tang was over 40 years old. Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but expect that Tang Bohu should be old and weak. Although he didn't say it, he already had an inherent impression in his heart. As a result, Tang Bohu suddenly said that Qiuxiang was happy, and he was stunned for a moment and actually said such stupid words.

Ye Chunqiu knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Oh, damn, damn, it's my fault. Brother Bohu, it's all my fault... Oh, Brother Bohu, I congratulate you on your good son first. At that time, I'll definitely give birth to a boy, and Brother Bohu will be considered a descendant."

Tang Bohu's face looked a little better and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mr. Ji."

Although he said this, he felt like he was getting a knot in his heart, which always made Tang Bohu unable to be happy.

Tang Bohu is good at everything, but he is not cunning enough, and many things are written on his face.

Ye Chunqiu understood just after seeing it, and smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. People will always make mistakes. I am talking nonsense. Do you still want me to carry the thorns and apologize? Forget it, then I will carry the thorns and apologize."

Tang Bohu felt better. Although he was not good at human nature, he knew that he would stop when he saw the situation. He just muttered, "Some words can be said, but some words must not be said. It would be fine to humiliate the students, but if Qiu Xiang knew, she would be sad. She is a person with a body now, so she can't make her sad. Oh, by the way, Duke, I remembered something. I heard that a rare thing happened in Confucius Temple. How many... Well... Ross people set up a ring in front of Confucius Temple and said they were going to compete. Many people were eager to try, but many people wanted to provoke. Who knew that the Ross people were so powerful that they lost seven people in a row and earned a lot of money."

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and said, "The government doesn't care about such a thing?"

Tang Bohu said, "I don't care. It is said that the envoy brought the people. How can Shuntian Mansion manage? Besides, this martial arts competition is common in the capital. Although it is a low-ranking activity, the people in the city love to watch this excitement."

Ye Chunqiu just nodded: "No matter how much you don't care about these little things, let's talk about serious things."
