After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 133 Chu Clan

The one asking the questions was Qi Wushuang.

He searched all over the palace for Ye Wuwei, asking everyone he met, and finally someone told him that Ye Wuwei had been called away by Nie Youren.

Seeing Qi Wushuang, Nie Youren and Chu Jianghe hurriedly saluted.

There were no outsiders around, so Ye Wuwei didn't bother to pretend: "Why are you here?"

"I returned to the bedroom and didn't see you, so I came out to look for you."

Speaking of this, Qi Wushuang still felt a little aggrieved:

"I searched the entire palace and finally found you here."

Seeing Qi Wushuang being so clingy, Ye Wuwei felt a bit of a headache:

"It's not lost, why are you looking for it?"

In the past, Qi Wushuang wouldn't have watched him so closely. But now, he was afraid that Ye Wuwei would be in the Northland in the blink of an eye.

Nie Youren didn't say anything, but Chu Jianghe was shocked.

What does your Majesty mean by this?

Why did His Majesty return to his bedroom to see Minister Ye?

Also, why didn’t Minister Ye bow when he saw His Majesty?

Qi Wushuang didn't look at anyone else, his eyes were fixed on Ye Wuwei.

"Is the matter over?"

Ye Wuwei remembered the reason why Chu Jianghe gave him 500 taels of silver, and thought it would be better to accumulate some favors for Qi Wushuang before going to the north, so that Qi Wushuang would not be angry with others after he went to the north.

“Nothing else, just some small talk.

Just now when we were chatting, I heard Commander Nie say that when you first went to Andu, you knew nothing, and it was Prince Chu who taught you how to lead troops and fight.

Your other uncles are also very caring towards you."

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, Qi Wushuang's expression softened:

"My uncles are all very kind to me."

“Although the Prince of Chu is the head of the family, now that you have ascended the throne, no one can say anything about giving titles to your uncles.

And it’s also more conducive to family harmony.”

After Ye Wuwei finished speaking, Chu Jianghe looked at him secretly.

What does Minister Ye mean by this?

He asked for a title for the Chu family?

Or was His Majesty originally planning to confer titles on the Chu family, and deliberately had Minister Ye curry favor with them? So that the Chu family would owe Minister Ye a favor?

If Ye Wuwei knew that Chu Jianghe had thought so much, he would probably not bother to speak.

Qi Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. So what titles do you think should be given to them?"

How could Ye Wuwei say that directly in front of outsiders?

"I don't even know how many uncles and cousins ​​you have, so how can I know what title to give you?"

"Then let's go back and I'll tell you slowly."

Ye Wuwei mentioned this and without further delay, he stood up and said to Nie Youren and Chu Jianghe:

"I have something to go."

If Ye Wuwei hadn't walked fast, Qi Wushuang almost went to hold Ye Wuwei's hand.

After the two left, Chu Jianghe asked Nie Youren, "What did His Majesty mean by what he said just now?"

How could Nie Youren say that? He laughed and said:

"Aren't we all temporarily staying in the palace now? Minister Ye is also here.

It’s just that he lives in your Majesty’s side palace.”

Chu Jianghe pondered: Why was Minister Ye arranged to live in His Majesty's side palace?

……

On the way back, Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei: "Why did you suddenly talk about conferring titles on your uncles?"

"Today, Anli's store opened, and Chu Jianghe gave a gift of five hundred taels of silver.

I had no contact with him before, so I went to ask Chu Fuchi specifically.

Chu Fuchi said he wanted the right to govern Yingdu.

However, Chu Fuchi also said that Chu Jianghe's ability was not very good.

So I thought:

It would be better to confer titles on your uncles, so that your cousins ​​will also have titles to inherit, and the gap between them and Chu Fuchi's branch will not be too big.

A harmonious family brings prosperity to all.”

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, Qi Wushuang said:

"I'm deeply touched by what you said about a harmonious family bringing prosperity. The Chu family is able to prosper precisely because of a harmonious family bringing prosperity."

Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei talked about the Chu family.

“The Chu family is a family of military commanders. My great-grandfather was appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief and stationed in Yingdu.

My great-grandfather and grandfather also guarded Yingdu.

By the time of my maternal grandfather's generation, the Chu family had become the most prominent family in Yingdu.

My maternal grandfather had four sons and one daughter. Three of my uncles and my mother were born to my maternal grandmother, and my third uncle was born out of wedlock.

Since my maternal grandfather had only one daughter, my mother, the whole family loved her like the apple of their eye.

My third uncle was raised by my grandmother after his mother died when he was a few years old.

My grandmother was generous and treated my third uncle almost like her own son, so my third uncle doted on my mother the most.

My grandfather's four sons were all quite talented, especially my third uncle.

My third uncle's talent was actually much greater than that of my eldest uncle, the Prince of Chu. However, because of the kindness my grandmother had in raising him, my third uncle never had any extravagant ambitions and only devoted himself to assisting my eldest uncle.

Seeing this situation, the other two uncles naturally did not dare to have any other thoughts and they all assisted the eldest uncle wholeheartedly.

Because of this, the Chu family was able to join the four great families with the support of my father."

Having said that, Qi Wushuang quietly took Ye Wuwei's hand.

Ye Wuwei wanted to shake him off, but Qi Wushuang held on tightly.

"We were so close together, and my sleeves were so big, no one could see me."

Ye Wuwei looked around and saw that everyone was staying away from them.

Ye Wuwei simply let Qi Wushuang do as he pleased, so as to avoid the two of them pulling each other and attracting more attention.

Ye Wuwei took the initiative to ask: "What about Chu Fuchi's generation?"

Qi Wushuang continued to talk about the Chu family.

“When it comes to Fu Chi’s generation, things become interesting.

The four uncles had a total of six sons and four daughters, but the ancestors of the Chu family seemed to be particularly fond of the Chu daughters. Not only Tai'an, but the other three Chu daughters were also smart and clever.

But as for the men, except for Fu Chi, the other five are of average talent."

Ye Wuwei didn't know much about other people and it was hard for him to judge them, but he didn't have a very good impression of Chu Yuyan.

"Does the Chu family's daughter you mentioned include Chu Yuyan?"

Qi Wushuang looked at Ye Wuwei, his hand still stroking Ye Wuwei's hand:

"You don't like Chu Yuyan?"

"I don't have a good impression of her."

Ye Wuwei told the story about Anli's store.

"I don't like people who bully others by taking advantage of their power. And can her behavior be considered smart?"

"In fact, Chu Yuyan's scheming is much deeper than Tai'an's. Otherwise, how could she, a concubine's daughter without her biological mother's blessing, navigate the circle of noble ladies in Andu with ease?

Even the military commanders in Andu and Yingdu look upon her with a different eye?"

"You're exaggerating. I think Nie Youren has a bad impression of her."

"Then did you hear from Nie Youren's words that he disliked or hated her?"

Ye Wuwei recalled the scene when Nie Youren talked about Chu Yuyan.

Although Nie Youren said that Chu Yuyan had a bit of a spoiled girl's temper, he was actually explaining for Chu Yuyan in disguise.

It seems that Nie Youren definitely does not hate Chu Yuyan.

Thinking that he had made a mistake in judging people, Ye Wuwei felt a little discouraged.

Perhaps Qi Wushuang was right. Chu Yuyan could not be a truly "brain-dead" girl since she had always been favored by Prince Chu.
