Chapter 60 Caidie's Proposal

Chapter 60: Caidie's Proposal

Miaoyin Pavilion, Nianwei’s boudoir.

Ye Xuan lay in Nian Wei's arms, watching the dancers dancing to the accompaniment of several female musicians, while enjoying the massage from the little girl Caidie.

This job was originally intended for Nianwei, but her skills were so poor that they were not as good as Caidie's, so she was rejected by Ye Xuan.

As a result, Nianwei even looked at Caidie with some resentment, as if she could see through her thoughts.

While massaging Ye Xuan's feet, Caidie said to Nianwei flatteringly, "Sister, I have been learning from the two maids in Yiyao and Xixue's room recently. When you and the master share a room in the future, I will definitely be an especially good maid!"

Nian Wei's face really improved after hearing this. She spat and scolded, "You shameless little girl. You're not even ready to get married yet and you're already thinking about these indecent things all day long."

Ye Xuan was a little curious, and asked while chewing on Nian Wei's words: "Oh, then tell me what you have learned?"

Caidie immediately showed off when she heard this, and said, "For example, when the masters are doing things, I should always have hot towels ready for them to clean up; for example, if Sister Nianwei has her period or is unable to do it, but the master is in a good mood, I should serve Sister Nianwei instead;"

"or……"

Caidie became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even forgot to massage Ye Xuan's feet. She gesticulated and talked about what she heard from the maids of the other three courtesans about what a maid should do.

Nianwei's face turned red and even her breathing became rapid.

Feeling the beauty behind him rising and falling, Ye Xuan hurriedly interrupted Caidie's urge to continue speaking.

"Okay, okay, now I know you can do it."

Ye Xuan interrupted with a helpless look on his face, saying that if he continued talking, Nianwei's inner demon would be brought out.

I don't care about it, but after a night of fighting yesterday, Nianwei's hands and feet are already weak.

Who said that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing?
That would be a real field, but you can't plow it over and over again all day long!

Caidie was immediately delighted by the compliment, and she reminded him, "Young lady and husband, remember to redeem Caidie in the future!"

Nianwei seemed unable to listen any longer, so she changed the subject and talked about what she saw and heard in Miaoyin Pavilion today.

"Mother said that the officials in the court rarely come these days. It seems that something big has happened."

Chu Yao smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing more than some intrigue and power struggle in the officialdom. It makes me feel bad just talking about it."

In fact, although Ye Xuan seemed to be oblivious to what was happening outside these days in the eyes of outsiders, he actually knew exactly what was happening in the court.

Ye Xuan was in no mood to get involved in the dirty business between the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang East Group.

Even though Hu Weiyong seems to be the final winner now, this guy did not live a peaceful life in history.

That is to say, Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Biao are still alive, and they can more or less persuade Zhu Yuanzhang when he goes crazy. But when they all pass away, that is when Zhu Yuanzhang will really start his killing spree.

Therefore, the most important thing for an official in the Ming Dynasty is to be low-key.

Just eat the melons in the court, but don't get involved in them, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died.

Just like Hu Weiyong, as the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat, he was second only to the emperor and everyone else, which sounded very impressive.

But so what?

In the end, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang just because he had any connection with Li Shanchang.

Therefore, it is safest to be a small official. If you become a big official, you have to be careful. You can't guarantee what the emperor is thinking. He may kill you suddenly. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan stood up and asked Caidie to bring his clothes.

"Sir, why do you want to leave so soon today? Why don't you stay for a while?" Nianwei's ears suddenly turned red as she tried to persuade him to stay.

Caidie suddenly became excited and said, "How about you give Caidie a try, sir, to see if our maidservant is doing a good job before you leave."

Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and could only make up an excuse: "I haven't been in the government office much these days. I'm afraid my boss will blame me if I don't go back."

In fact, Wei Qingming turned a blind eye to Ye Xuan's whereabouts and never asked him where he was as long as Ye Xuan showed up for duty.

Firstly, Wang Feihu and Song Zhenshan are in charge of the daily affairs of the Zhenfu Division, so generally nothing goes wrong.

Secondly, after Yang Xian was brought down, Ye Xuan had some free time.

Although Nianwei felt a little reluctant, she couldn't force Ye Xuan to stay when she saw him talking about the formula.

When Ye Xuan returned to the Pacification Office, he ran into Fatty Huang, who was arm in arm with a few of his men and shouting loudly.

"It's right to listen to me, this is how he should do this job!"

Ye Xuan was amused and couldn't help but joked: "Hey, Fatty Huang, you have such great authority!"

Fatty Huang looked up and saw that it was Ye Xuan, and immediately scratched his head embarrassedly.

After sending his men away, Fatty Huang said with a chuckle, "Isn't this the first three things a new official should do? If I don't do this, how can these men be convinced?"

"It's up to you." Ye Xuan said indifferently.

If we were to say who has changed the most in the Zhenfusi Yamen in the past few days, apart from the increase in new faces, the biggest change would be in Fatty Huang.

In the past, this guy was not outstanding in terms of talent and achievements among the Jinyiwei, so he had the image of a cheerful and good-natured person, and he treated everyone he met as a brother.

However, during this period of time, he was promoted to deputy captain, and he actually learned to walk with his hands behind his back, and his voice became much louder when he spoke to people.

It can really be said that a person's aura changes as his status changes.

Ye Xuan declined Fatty Huang's invitation to have a drink after work and made up his mind silently.

You must stay away from Fatty Huang in the future. People like him who don't know why when they get a little power are the most dangerous existence in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

Little did he know that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. With Huang Pangzi's personality, he will probably not live long, and might even bring harm to those who are close to him.

I returned to the office and reviewed the recent official duties as usual, as it was almost time to get off work.

Suddenly a familiar figure appeared outside the door.

"I was thinking that Captain Ye might have made a mistake, but I didn't expect to run into him again!"

Yun Qi walked into the room with a laugh and sat down without any hesitation.

Ye Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he could sense that Yun Qi wanted to be friends with him, Yun Qi was just a eunuch after all, and usually had to stay in the palace to serve Zhu Yuanzhang.

The fact that I can appear in front of me means most likely only one thing: I am Zhu Yuanzhang and he wants to summon me for something again.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh, Old Zhu, you really can't bear to see me relax.
