After Ye Siming received the reward, he retreated to the side.
Eunuch Chunshou took down His Majesty’s words and waited for the Ministry of Revenue and the government office to make arrangements when he returned.
Bai Yi couldn’t help but go forward. “Were you really given a house?”
Ye Siming looked at him indifferently. “How can it be fake?”
Bai Yi found it unbelievable.
Ever since the dynasty started, the emperor had basically only given the houses to the founding generals or old officials of the dynasty!
This was because such a reward symbolized that His Majesty treated the person as family and valued them in especially high regard.
The manor bestowed by the emperor also represented the emperor’s deep grace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn Great Qi, the number of officials who had been bestowed residences by the emperor was less than ten.
The current Empress’s maternal family only had a three-tiered manor.
Even Noble Consort Qiao, who had given birth to a little princess, or the Grace Defender Duke, who had extremely high military merits, had never been conferred a manor before.
His Majesty actually gave Ye Siming a house with a wave of his hand?
Bai Yi was stunned.
Looking at his expression, Ye Siming found it funny.
He sneered. “What’s wrong? Do you want that imperial manor?”
Bai Yi waved his hand and pulled him to the side, looking a little worried.
“Siming, I’m always worried that you’re moving up too quickly. It’s a good thing that His Majesty trusts you and thinks highly of you, but I’m also afraid…”
He was afraid that the emperor’s heart was unpredictable. He was afraid that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger.
He was afraid that this monstrous wealth would instantly become a life-threatening shackle!
Bai Yi sighed. “Her Highness will grow up eventually. When His Majesty feels that the princess has reached the age where she’d have to keep her distance from the opposite gender, he won’t allow you to be a guard by Her Highness’s side anymore. At that time, if you don’t have any achievements to rely on, your life will probably plummet.”
When Ye Siming heard this, his brows turned slightly cold and he fell into deep thought.
He didn’t need the so-called rewards, status, and power.
He didn’t care about these things at all.
However, what Bai Yi said made sense.
Gu Nuo’er would grow up.
Sooner or later, His Majesty would make it so that he no longer had to protect the little thing.
Ye Siming’s deep and cold gaze looked at Gu Nuo’er, who was waving her small arms and saying something with a sweet smile in Gu Yihan’s arms in the distance.
He was the one who couldn’t leave her now.
“How does one obtain merits?” he suddenly asked.
Bai Yi was stunned.
“For example, the last time you followed me to eliminate the mountain bandits, not only did you save us, but you also let none of the mountain bandits escape. This is your merit.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Ye Siming’s hand and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBai Yi’s glabella twitched and he hurriedly added, “Of course, the world has been peaceful recently. Don’t even think about taking the initiative to wipe out the mountain bandits around the capital.”
Ye Siming’s cold lips curled up into a faint smile.
“I understand what you mean. It’s only merit if I do something good for people who aren’t Gu Nuo’er.”
Bai Yi nodded.
Ye Siming didn’t say anything else as if he understood.
He seemed to have thought of something. “Why didn’t Madam Bai come?”
Bai Yi said, “When she came to the imperial abode yesterday, she was a little unwell. She had a fever today and wasn’t feeling well, so I let her lie in the room.”
Ye Siming pursed his lips and took the reins of the warhorse from Bai Yi. “I’ll go feed the horse. You can go back and take care of your wife.”
Bai Yi was stunned and was about to say that he would feed the horse.
Unexpectedly, Ye Siming glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “Hurry up and go. Don’t be so old yet not knowing how to take care of the person you like.”
After saying that, he quickly got onto the horse, clamped the horse’s abdomen lightly, and brought Little Black back to the imperial abode.
Bai Yi stomped his feet in anger.
He stared at his back and shouted, “Brat, your tone is too arrogant.. Do you have anyone you like? To think that you’re teaching me!”
