Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 604: Ancient Plane, Dandy in Men's Disguise 25

Yan Beiji's schedule is very tight.

After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he rushed to the palace without stopping.

He never slacked off on his cheap nephew's studies, even though he had long harbored rebellious thoughts.

He knew that he would not have any offspring, but while he was alive, he had to have the final say in the State of Yan so that he could protect the people he loved most.

Most of the time, Yan Beiji reviewed memorials in the palace. Each one was related to people's livelihood and the situation in the court, and no mistakes were allowed.

After dealing with the memorials, he began to have heated discussions with some confidential ministers on the issue of border defense. In short, by the time everything was done, it was already dark.

Yan Beiji looked at the sky outside and realized that the days when he didn't feel anxious before because there was nothing to distract his attention and handling state affairs made him feel more fulfilled were over.

Now that he has a beloved little boy, some things naturally have to be put aside.

It is time to start letting those trusted ministers and even the virtuous ministers who have been selected long ago take charge.

If you eat the emperor's food, you have to share the emperor's worries, and he should also use his time more reasonably.

Yan Beiji always felt that he would be busy with state affairs until his death, and would gain an unprecedented sense of accomplishment from it.

But now, he knew that he also had the potential to become a tyrant...

However, the reason why I cannot completely let go of these government affairs is simply because I want my beloved little prince to hear and see peace.

When I returned to the palace, lanterns were already hanging high, and the dim lights were swaying in the night breeze.

Without the complicated state affairs, Yan Beiji's mind was soon occupied by Lu Miao's figure. He was eager to know everything about him, but he knew that he had to restrain his desire and not scare him.

In front of the study, Jiayi had been waiting for a long time. After seeing the Regent come back, he knelt down and waited.

"Go ahead."

Yan Beiji stood in the yard looking at his subordinates. He was even reluctant to enter the house, he was extremely impatient.

Upon hearing this, Jiayi began to report everything that happened in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion today and related to the Zhenbei Marquis.

Although the secret guards had no way to infiltrate before, with the opening of a small gap, the secret guards were finally able to settle down in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

However, no one has been able to enter the inner courtyard of Zhenbei Marquis so far.

"Did you find anything strange while taking the pulse in the pavilion?"

Yan Beiji listened to the story of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with satisfaction, and then asked slowly.

"My Lord, you are so wise. After investigation, I discovered that the person who took the pulse of Doctor Cai was actually someone else. It was the young master who lived in the other courtyard."

Yan Beiji listened to Jia Yi's report with a slightly solemn expression, especially when he mentioned that there was someone else, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

After a few breaths, Yan Beiji finally spoke.

"Continue to try to place personnel in the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion and closely monitor every move within the mansion. Don't miss any slightest sign of anomaly."

After receiving the order, Jiayi quietly retreated and disappeared into the night.

Yan Beiji stood there for a moment before walking into the study with steady steps.

In the study, the candlelight flickered, and the dim light sprinkled on the desk. An unfinished painting was quietly placed there, waiting for the owner's favor again.

Yan Beiji walked slowly to the desk, leaned over slightly and stared at the young master in the painting.

The young man in the painting is half-leaning on the couch, with a lazy posture and thin clothes, which shows his romantic character.

The reason why this painting is said to be unfinished is that there is no face in it, only an empty outline.

Yan Beiji's eyes were full of attachment and obsession, and his fingertips almost trembled as he touched the part without the face painting, as if he could still touch the cheek of his beloved.

"Why exactly? If it was just infertility, considering how much the old lady values you, it wouldn't be enough for her to become frightened or even deceive you.

Why exactly?

Yan Beiji was in deep thought. Jiayi's words today still made him feel that something was wrong.

However, he thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember anything. Looking at the painting that hadn't had a face drawn on it yet, he picked up the brush beside him, dipped it in ink, and gently placed the tip of the brush on the rice paper.

With just a few strokes, that familiar face came to life on the paper.

The charm between his eyebrows and eyes, and the upturned corners of his mouth, made it seem as if his beloved young master was gazing at him with a smile from the painting.

Yan Beiji looked at the finished painting with a slight smile on his face.

"So what? I can't escape anyway..."

The morning court in Yan State usually started around the hour of Mao, but people like Miaomiao, who only held a nominal position but still received a salary, had never attended the morning court and could sleep in at home.

At noon, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto Miaomiao's bed, allowing her to stretch comfortably and prepare to continue sleeping.

As a result, Xing'er hurried over to report while still sleepy.

"My Lord, Eunuch Qian, who serves as the Prince Regent, has come to tell you that he will be here to discuss official business with you shortly, and that he will also be dining at the Marquis' residence."

After hearing this, Miaomiao woke up instantly, and the laziness that had been keeping her in bed disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he began the process of quickly binding his chest and changing his clothes. Except for the time it took to stick on his beard and Adam's apple, he managed to get himself ready before Yan Beiji arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

However, Miaomiao didn't expect that this kind of life was just the beginning...

After Miaomiao had breakfast with the Regent who claimed that he felt very close to his good brother, before she had time to catch her breath, she was shocked to find that this good brother brought not only his own official business, but also his?

And her study, which was usually just a show but actually filled with miscellaneous books, was requisitioned by Yan Beiji...

Of course, she was also recruited at the same time...

Miaomiao sat in the study with a dazed look on her face, watching the servants who had followed her from the Regent's Palace carrying piles of memorials and placing them neatly on his desk.

Yan Beiji, on the other hand, seemed to be at home, and spoke with an apologetic look on his face without waiting for Miaomiao to speak.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow Brother Lu's study quite often these days.

It is also a good opportunity to know up close whether there are any differences in the audits, and whether there are treacherous people underneath who are maliciously making trouble.

I just don't know if Brother Lu minds or not?"

Miaomiao looked at her brother with a dull face as he had already put the things on her desk. What a man who acted first and asked for permission later.

"Of course, if Brother Lu minds, then I don't mind letting Brother Lu work in my mansion."

Yan Beiji smiled gently, but the pressure from the Regent still came over him...
