Chapter 235: Im Sick
Besides, Princess Su once said that every prince had to attend court when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
“Ah? No need.” Ye Shuo shook his head immediately after hearing that.
Yao Zhi was stunned for a moment: “Then…what about the tea party, poetry party, and flower party?”
Princess Su would go out from time to time, and she took her out a few times, so Yao Zhi made a special trip to learn. She was not the best at poetry competitions, which was not embarrassing, but she was very good at pitching pots, so overall she was not weak.
As for the young men, ladies, princesses and princes inside, although not all of them are very friendly, at most they just compete with words, which is better than those who always resort to knives and guns.
These princes and nobles were extremely reserved in their words, and they were well aware of the principle of leaving a way out for future encounters. Therefore, unless it was a life-and-death feud, it was extremely rare for them to openly praise someone and secretly criticize him, or even humiliate him to death. Yao Zhi had only heard of it, but had never actually encountered it.
Yao Zhi had almost figured out the tricks after going there twice, but he suddenly told her today that it was totally unnecessary?
“Not that it’s unnecessary.” Ye Shuo scratched his head.“The main reason is that I don’t really like those kinds of occasions. I always feel uncomfortable.”
There were quite a few invitations sent to Prince Rui’s Palace, and there were piles of them at the housekeeper’s place, but Ye Shuo had never been there once.
“But if you like, you can go and have fun.”
Ye Shuo was not afraid of her being bullied. First, Yao Zhi’s personality was there. Second, he was now a core figure in the first echelon of the Great Zhou nobles, and his princess was also included in the group. So even if there were really people who didn’t like them, they could only flatter them. At worst, they would just ignore it. Who would be so stupid as to offend them?
Hearing this, Yao Zhi was a little surprised: “But the aunt said that this would help the uncle…”
This is indeed the case.
“No way, who asked the uncle to help the father do the work?” It’s easier to get things done if there’s someone in the court. The same applies to the princes with real power. How can he carry out his work without cooperation? In addition, the transmission of various messages is a tacit understanding in the core circle. Otherwise, how can some things and responsibilities be avoided so easily? This is a tacit understanding among everyone.
But the key point is that Ye Shuo doesn’t need to do anything, so whether they cooperate or not has nothing to do with him? No matter how stubborn these people are, can they be more stubborn than their cheap father and Xiao Ming?
As long as they stand high enough, it doesn’t matter whether they go or not.
Another reason is that if you stay at home for too long, you will inevitably feel stuffy. These gatherings also give women a reason to go out and play, but Ye Shuo will not restrict his wife. She can leave the house at any time, so it doesn’t matter whether there are gatherings or not.
Now, there is one less thing Yao Zhi needs to do.
Yao Zhi thought for a moment and said, “I see there are many shops under the name of the palace.” When Ye Shuo left the palace to build a mansion, both the imperial concubine and the emperor provided him with a lot of subsidies, and there were a lot of farms, shops and fields.
Princess Su also reminded her of this at the time, and Yao Zhi learned a lot from her.
But for Ye Shuo, his energy is limited after all, and he cannot manage the operation of the shop one by one, so he just needs to know how to use people.
He couldn’t manage so many things, so why not find a few people to manage them separately? As long as he controlled these people, it would be like controlling all the industries in his hands.
In feudal society, as a prince, it was extremely easy for him to investigate someone.
An assessment is conducted every three months, or once a quarter, to compare the profitability of the shop in the hands of several people. Those who deserve rewards will be rewarded, and those who deserve punishments will be punished. That’s about it.
Since there are competitors among them, Ye Shuo is not afraid that they will collude and undermine him.
So basically, Ye Shuo only needs to inspect the place every once in a while, look at the account book, and then wait to collect the money. They will find ways to make more money themselves.
After listening to this, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
In other words, apart from the identity of princess, there doesn’t seem to be much change in other aspects.
Ye Shuo’s last sentence completely reassured Yao Zhi.
“As our mother and father’s favourite son and daughter-in-law, we don’t have to worry about anything else. We just need to think about how to make them happy.”
Looking at the young man lazily lying there, Yao Zhi vaguely felt that life after marrying the prince was a little different from what she had imagined.
At the same time, she finally understood why Princess Su had such a strange expression when she said so much to her, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t say it.
But it’s better this way. Since he doesn’t fight or compete, I don’t have to worry about whether I can single-handedly rescue him from Shangjing City when something happens to him.
“Come on, come on, don’t just stand there. I just hired a female doctor who has great skills. Come and try it out.”
As he spoke, Ye Shuo pulled Yao Zhi to the chaise longue next to him.
I have to say that as long as you are willing to spend money, the quality of the doctor will be high. Just looking at the technique of pressing acupoints, you will know that he is much better than ordinary doctors.
When Ye Xun came out of the ancestral hall and passed by here, this was the scene he saw.
Ye Xun’s breathing stagnated and his footsteps also paused.
Seeing the Ninth Prince looking at him, Ye Xun instinctively felt that something was wrong, but before he could escape, he was caught by Ye Shuo.
Massage and bone correction should not be considered as entertainment activities…
What’s more, the child has been in a bad mood recently. I believe that his third brother in heaven would be able to understand.
Ye Shuo didn’t say anything and had someone bring over a chaise longue.
About half an incense stick later, the number of people in the yard increased from one to three.
The three of them stood in a row, Ye Shuo lay in the middle, letting the afternoon breeze blow across his cheeks. This scene couldn’t be more comfortable.
Perhaps they were infected by him, and eventually, Yao Zhi and Ye Xun also gradually relaxed.
What’s more, Ye Xun didn’t even know when he fell asleep, and in the end it was Ye Shuo who asked someone to send him back.
This kind of life is good, but after a long time, Yao Zhi always felt uneasy, so she only enjoyed it with Ye Shuo for four or five days, and then returned to her usual routine, getting up before dawn every day to practise sword.
Looking at her husband who was still sleeping soundly in the bed, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but laugh.
But such days did not last long. When Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi had been married for about three or four months, just as autumn began, Emperor Jingwen fell ill.
It was night when he got the news. Without caring about anything else, Ye Shuo just put on some clothes and entered the palace.
