Chapter 270 Me and My Alias Together?
"It's a pity, if she were a man..."
The prime minister had no idea that he would later embarrass himself by saying those words.
Therefore, when I think about how he said those words, I have to admit that it was the biggest mistake he ever made in his life.
Not far away, the Secretary of the Three Departments was chatting with the Privy Councilor.
No, it should be said that the Privy Councilor unilaterally wanted to chat with the Three Departments Historian, and his purpose, of course, was to show off.
"What's the point of all this arguing? I'm just reaping the benefits! Haha, with Lord Ye joining the Privy Council, it's bound to achieve great things. I'll treat you to drinks then!"
The Privy Councilor was extremely pleased with himself. He had managed to acquire this talent entirely because of his own lack of ambition and willingness to compete. This was enough for him to be proud of in front of his colleagues for months.
The official in charge of the three departments couldn't stand his smug and arrogant demeanor, so he left without a word.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwu felt much more at ease when she saw that there were few people around her, and even the air felt fresher.
As she looked up to look ahead, she saw two female officials walking together in a corner. These two female officials were walking on the outer edge of the palace road, and were being forced to walk on the most secluded bluestone path by a group of men.
Although they walked slowly and were excluded, their eyes were clear and their backs were straight.
Ye Yuwu could occasionally feel their gazes falling on her, seemingly imperceptible but not quite.
With friendly intentions, Ye Yuwu took the initiative to approach them.
The two female officials tensed up instantly when they saw Ye Yuwu approaching them.
Ye Yuwu had barely uttered a single word when their carefully constructed facade crumbled instantly.
"Would you like to come together?"
"Lord Ye, I, I..."
"Take your time," Ye Yuwu smiled, surprised that the seemingly upright female official was so adorable.
With her reassurance, the female official was no longer nervous. "Lord Ye, I admire you very much. I never expected that you would be willing to walk with us. I was a little excited and may have frightened you."
Ye Yuwu was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She hadn't expected them to say these things to her.
"Yes, Lord Ye, you have no idea how much we admire you and Mr. Wuming! We are overjoyed to meet such a model!"
"We'll be colleagues from now on, so we'll naturally see each other often."
"That's different. We've all seen the achievements you've made, Lord Ye. Many women in Bianjing now regard you as a role model and aspire to become good officials like you in the future!"
This wasn't the first time Ye Yuwu had heard such words. Once it was from the people at the border, and another time it was from a woman in Bianjing. For the first time, she had a different feeling, as if she were changing something.
"However, if it weren't for Wuming and His Majesty's decision, I'm afraid we women wouldn't be able to become officials."
As they stood there talking, many officials secretly glanced at them with inquisitive eyes.
"Let's not talk about that now, let's leave the palace! The palace gates will be closing soon."
The two female officials nodded, blushing as they walked alongside Ye Yuwu.
"We still don't know your names?"
The female official with the most delicate features spoke first, "My surname is Yu, and my given name is Fanghao."
Another round-faced female official then introduced herself, "My surname is Qing, and my given name is Qingyan."
"It seems that there is only one family with the surname Yu in Bianjing."
"Lord Ye has a good memory. My father was the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy."
"If that's the case, why didn't you go with Chief Minister Yu?"
"Lord Ye, how could that be! In the court, both Yu Jijiu and I are His Majesty's subjects. Yu Jijiu has a higher rank than me, so how could I possibly walk alongside him?"
Ye Yuwu clearly hadn't expected this reason.
Qing Qingyan, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle. "Lord Ye, just listen to her nonsense! She's afraid that being with my father will cause gossip and make people think that she got her position as a female official because of her father. So she's deliberately avoiding Yu Jijiu and forging her own path as a female official. She thinks her father is in her way!"
"Qing Qingyan!" Yu Fanghao's face flushed red with embarrassment as he called her full name sharply.
Through this chat and playful banter, Ye Yuwu's relationship with the two young female officials became much closer, no longer distant.
“We women should stick together. There are only three of us female officials in the court, which is quite rare. If we don’t stick together, our living space will be squeezed out by the men,” Ye Yuwu said to the two of them.
“Exactly! Only men are allowed to stick together for warmth, but we women aren’t allowed to collude?” Yu Fanghao nodded in agreement.
The three of them immediately felt like they had known each other for a long time, so they decided to go to the restaurant together to listen to the music.
They went to Mingyue Restaurant, a place frequented by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, where privacy was excellent.
The three chatted idly behind the screen, listening to the sounds of silk music.
Rather than casual conversation, it was more like Yu Fanghao and Ye Yuwu pestering her to tell them about what she had seen and heard at the border.
Ye Yuwu, who wrote storybooks, recounted these experiences with extraordinary vividness, which could easily impress the two men.
They were both young girls, and even though they usually acted prim and proper, they inevitably had some girlish traits.
"Lord Ye, there is actually another matter I would like to ask if I may be so bold?"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Hehe, I just wanted to ask how things are between you and Mr. Wuming?"
Ye Yuwu was puzzled. What else could it be? "Of course, it's excellent!"
Upon hearing these words from the person in question, the two people beside him exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with barely concealed excitement.
"Really? I knew it! The two people I admire most are really together!" Qing Qingyan was extremely excited.
Ye Yuwu, who was eating fruit, almost choked when she heard this. She swallowed with difficulty and hurriedly asked, "What? What?! You're saying I'm with Wuming? What do you mean?"
"Huh? Isn't that right?" Seeing her expression, Qing Qingyan suddenly felt that things weren't so simple.
At this moment, Yu Fanghao also spoke up:
"Lord Ye, please don't be hasty. Let me explain. As you know, Mr. Wuming is usually elusive, and almost no one knows his true identity. However, he is on good terms with you, Lord Ye, and every time he publishes a new storybook, it is immediately printed in bookstores. Naturally, some people speculate that you and Mr. Wuming have a close relationship. In addition, many people in Bianjing admire both of you and think that you should be together, since you two seem to be such a good match."
Ye Yuwu was bewildered. Yu Fanghao's words slowly became clearer and more coherent, but why couldn't she understand them?!
"Ahem, there are many stories about the two of you."
Qing Qingyan coughed awkwardly, too embarrassed to say that she also thought the two of them were a good match. Both of them were people she admired, so naturally she hoped they would be together.
For this reason, she even secretly bought a storybook about the two of them. It should be noted that many people in Bianjing also bought storybooks about the two of them, so her buying the storybook was not considered niche.
Ye Yuwu, who was standing to the side, was shocked.
Is this even possible? This is the first time I've ever known that I'm with myself? Am I a perfect match for myself?
Wow, this couple is really making a living off the ancients!
Moreover, it's shocking that I can still hear fanfiction about myself in my lifetime.
