"In fact, big families have their own business. Relying on the salary of the court alone is far from enough to support a big family. They may not even be able to support their servants, let alone the welcome and send off and exchanges between various families."

"I know, so...you agree to me doing business?"

"Just like it."

"But I will go from business to business. Aren't you going to let me go out?"

"I will agree with it for a legitimate reason."

Gong Cheng quietly retreated with great eyesight when Xiao Changqi talked with Ye Qingyan.

Ye Qingyan was held in his arms by Xiao Changqi, and ignored the eyes of the servants secretly looking at him in the distance, "Do you really agree to me going out?"

"Well, managing you is similar to managing floods. It's better to get rid of it than blockage."

"You compare me to a flood?" Ye Qingyan glared at him.

Xiao Changqi smiled softly, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Ye Qingyan said, "And, it is better to drain the embankment than blocking. The embankment must be strong enough to drain it. Otherwise, if the embankment is not strong enough, and you will discharge the flood again, it will only destroy the entire embankment. Therefore, the prerequisite for diversion is to block the place to be solid enough. Just like two armies confronting each other, three circumferences and one are easier to win than four circumventing. But it must also be tight enough, just surrounded it casually. If it is not tight enough, it will fail. Sometimes, it must be combined to achieve better and more ideal results."

Ye Qingyan made a sensation, and Xiao Changqi was speechless and finally laughed, "Do you want me to let you go, or don't let you go?"

"Open it, of course, you have to put it back. But the premise is that if you want me to come back, you must be strong enough and not be compromised by other women, then I may not be able to come back."

"You are still worried about me. Since that's the case, you don't have to go out. There are really other women who take advantage of the situation."

"Didn't you just say that it's better to be diluted than to be blocked."

"But you said you were not a flood."

"How could you say that you don't keep your word and go back on your word."

"Jiaojiao...is not as unreasonable as you."

"Where do I have it?"

...

On New Year's Eve, Ye Qingyan held a gilded hand stove with green peony patterns in both hands, sat in the warm pavilion, looking at the heavy snow outside, but she didn't feel cold anymore.

Habits are a terrible thing. In the past month, she has become accustomed to the snow and is no longer afraid of the cold.

Xiao Changqi brought up a pot of hot wine and two glasses of glass, put them on the couch, and sat down opposite her.

"The heavy snow in Jizhou these days, and the news from the capital cannot be passed for the time being."

"Well, please pay more attention to your mother's side." Ye Qingyan took a candy-fried chestnut from the fruit plate on the bed, peeled it up, and stuffed the yellow flesh into his mouth. It was sweet, soft, and delicious.

"The New Year is coming soon, do you have any wishes?" Xiao Changqi poured Ye Qingyan a glass of wine.

Ye Qingyan looked at him comfortably, "The only wish is to hope that your husband will be safe."

Xiao Changqi's handsome eyebrows were raised suddenly, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, but there was a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"You can hear that this sentence is true."

"Of course, no matter how the situation in the world changes, how you and me change, I pray that you can be healthy, safe and happy." This was her only wish for him, and she picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Where are you?"

Xiao Changqi looked at her and said for a while: "I hope to be the father."

Ye Qingyan was stunned and soon came back to his senses. A joke flashed in his eyes and called him silly: "Father! Do you like my daughter?"

Xiao Changqi held the wine glass and was stunned, "..."

...

‘Crack ~’ The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the streets were filled with laughter from children.

The new year is here.

This year, the capital was turbulent, but Xiao Changqi had been in Jizhou City and never returned to Beijing. First, Emperor Jingde issued an imperial edict to him that "no edict will not be allowed to return to Beijing." Second, this year, Xidi changed a warlike King of Xidi, who took advantage of the civil strife in Yanchao and took the opportunity to attack Jizhou. As the lord of Jizhou, Xiao Changqi and Xidi started an offensive and defensive battle with Xidi for more than a year. The court did not provide any support to Xiao Changqi, but only allowed him to build his own armed army in Jizhou to resist the invasion of Xidi.

In his previous life, Ye Qingyan was not very clear about what happened during this period, and the capital was very lively. She wanted to change what happened this year. For example, after Ye Hongbo was defeated by Tanhua, he advised him to attend the Hongze Banquet, so that he would not know the dancer who killed him. Or after Ye fell ill, he could pay more attention and not pass away.

However, Xiao Changqi did not allow her to return to the capital at all. In the end, she could only send a message to Chunyu, asking her to tell Ye that Ye Hongbo was destined to be peach blossoms, banquets, brothels, and places where there were singing and dancing philanders, if they could not go, they would not go, and they might be worried about their lives. Ye valued the eldest son the most, and would rather believe that they had it than not. There would be no problem with her staring at it. As for Ye, she asked Chunyu to often send elixirs and tend to recuperate. Even if she was sick, it would not be as serious as a mountain collapse.

If there is no problem with the two men in the Ye family, they will basically be stable.

As for the palace, it was Duan Fei. She was very worried about this woman and didn't know whether to care, because her life and death had a great impact on Xiao Changqi...

Ye Qingyan can manipulate the life and death of some irrelevant people. She really dare not act rashly when such people who can control the fate of the country.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather is clear and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh snow and the first sun.

Ye Qingyan got busy early in the morning. She made a lot of frostbite cream and tried to make some new skin care balms. Today, she mainly focused on giving away.

Just as she packed the big bucket of balm into the small and exquisite white jade porcelain box, someone came to the prince's mansion.

"Miss Mingyan, there is a Taoist priest Qiu Chanzi looking for you." Gong Cheng replied.

Ye Qingyan paused his hand in balm, and then said to Gong Cheng: "He is the guardian of the prince in Leopard City, let him come over."

"Yes. Then will our family arrange a door-keeping job for him?"

"No need for now. He is very good at helping me see the stall in Leopard City. Let him come here to help today."

"Yes, our family knows."

Gong Cheng turned around and was about to leave.

Ye Qingyan called him again, "Wait for a moment, General Gong."

"What else do Miss Mingyan have to do?"

"Try this." Ye Qingyan gave him a box of balm. "The fragrance is first agarwood and then plum fragrance. I hope you like it."

The siege was immediately flattered, "How did you do this?"
