step by step

Chapter 165
King Qing looked at Jiang Yehan with a serious expression, "Yehan, your future and future prosperity and wealth are in the hands of our Jiang family. If I can win over the Ye family, the Jiang family will become the number one power in Jindu. Wish me great success. You have to understand that the interests of the Jiang family are always greater than your personal happiness."

Jiang Yehan frowned when he heard the words, his expression was instantly stern.

Before Jiang Yehan could refuse, King Qing said again: "The Ye family is very powerful outside the border. If you marry Ye Zhaoyan, you can form an in-law relationship with the Ye family and use General Ye's power outside the border to help you find out who was in the past. The truth, wash away your father's grievances."

Jiang Yehan remained silent, what King Qing said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

He was very grateful to King Qing for his love and cultivation, but it was difficult to accept such a request from King Qing for a while.

Seeing that Jiang Yehan didn't speak, King Qing continued to follow the temptation, "This Ye Zhaoyan has both talent and appearance, a respected status, and is the only daughter of the Ye family. If you marry her, you can use this to cling to the Ye family. In the future, your mother will be in Jindu. You don't need to look at anyone's face anymore. Ye Han, I'm doing it for your own good, for your future, and for the sake of our Jiang family. I don't ask you to marry Ye Zhaoyan right now, but you can take it slowly. I believe, in the future It's only a matter of time before your looks and talent win the heart of this daughter of the Ye family."

The Ye family and the Jiang family are in the same family, and they are the hereditary successors of the Jindu royal family. Ye Zhaoyan is an excellent marriage partner.

Although Jiang Yehan's status is not high, he is a rare handsome young man in Jindu. Coupled with Mrs. Jiang's careful teaching, he has shown great talent since he was thirteen years old, and he is a well-known genius boy.

If he can control the Ye family's power, his future is boundless, and he is destined to be extraordinary in the future.

For such a man, he didn't want him to waste his years and waste his talent because of the restriction of his birth.

Jiang Yehan raised his head, looked straight at King Qing, and said sincerely and solemnly: "Your Highness's love, Yehan will always remember it in his heart. I can't decide this matter, I need to go back and think it over carefully, and I will reply to Your Highness when I have a decision. "

King Qing was slightly startled when he heard this, and finally nodded, "Yes."

He didn't force it, as long as Jiang Yehan was willing to think about it, it was enough for him.

After all, he had more ways to get Jiang Yehan to agree to the marriage, not necessarily to make Jiang Yehan change his mind immediately.

He believed that as long as Jiang Yehan achieved this marriage, he would definitely thank him in the future, and he could afford to wait.

Jiang Yehan stood up and saluted King Qing, then left.

When Jiang Yehan's figure disappeared outside the palace wall, the tenderness in Prince Qing's eyes faded instantly, his eyes were gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Ye Zhaoyan?" King Qing murmured, "No matter what, I will never allow you, the Ye family, to spoil my plan this time."

"My lord, Master Xue, please see me!"

At this moment, a guard hurried over and reported respectfully.

King Qing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes." The guard took the order and left, and brought Xue Huaitan in after a while.

Xue Huaitan's footsteps were a bit staggering, he stepped up his pace, and managed to arrive before the teacup was completely cold.

As soon as he entered the Merlin, before he had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he saw Prince Qing's indifferent expression, his heart skipped a beat, he immediately knelt down on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "See Your Highness Prince Qing!"

If King Qing hadn't rescued him in time, he would have been paralyzed on the bed and would not be able to get off the ground if he suffered more torture.

He still has a lingering fear of that piercing pain.

However, even though King Qing treated him with the best doctor, his right foot could no longer move as usual.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows were stained with a layer of sternness.

"Excuse me." King Qing glanced at him indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Xue Huaidan got up from the ground and said respectfully: "I heard that His Highness has frequently summoned young talents from the Jiang family recently, but what are you planning for?"

He originally thought that Prince Qing intervened in the succession of the Ye family because he wanted to accept Ye Zhaoyan as his concubine, but the young people from the Jiang family who frequently came and went to the palace recently made him suspicious.

Does King Qing have other plans?

King Qing pondered for a moment, and said: "It is true, this king is preparing for the Qiongshu Banquet, I wonder what Master Xue thinks?"

Xue Huaitan heard the implication of King Qing's voice, and immediately bowed and said: "I dare not talk about the royal family's government affairs, it's just that these young talents are really young and have not made any achievements yet."

King Qing interrupted Xue Huaitan and said: "The talents of the younger generation of the Jiang family are not inferior to the princes and nobles. If you are interested, you can go and find out the truth."

Xue Huaidan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he thought to himself: Could it be that King Qing is really planning to let the Jiang family's side branches get involved in the Ye family's power?This is impossible!
The only person he cares about in his heart is King Qing, a big man!

Xue Huaitan thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong, and said quickly: "Your Highness is wise. I naturally don't dare to doubt the talents of the Jiang family. It's just that I have heard about the Jiang family, and these young people seem to be from a reluctant background. I'm afraid."

King Qing's expression was calm when he heard Xue Huaitan's words, he seemed to have expected Xue Huaitan's behavior, and his tone was still calm, "Could it be that Mr. Xue looks down on Jiang Yehan?"

Xue Huaitan yelled secretly when he heard the words, and quickly explained: "Your Highness, I just think that Zhaoyan is the daughter of the Ye family and has a noble status."

King Qing gave Xue Huaidan a displeased look, "Master Xue, you should know better than anyone else what kind of family our Jiang family is. Ye Han has outstanding talents, and he is someone I have carefully cultivated. If he can enter the Ye Mansion one day, it is You should be delighted by the great gift, how can you have the slightest doubt about him? You don’t have to think too much about this matter, I have thought about it myself.”

"Yes." Xue Huaidan nodded hastily, thinking to himself: Prince Qing's character is unpredictable, moody, if one day he turns his face and destroys Xue's family, then wouldn't he have nowhere to cry?This time it was King Qing who offered to arrange a marriage for the Ye family, and he had to agree if he disagreed, otherwise he would be in trouble with King Qing.

However, according to Ye Zhaoyan's haughty personality, there are nine out of ten that he can't see Jiang Yehan from such a background.

After figuring this out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, it's not just for this matter that you came to see me today, right?" King Qing took a sip from his teacup and asked casually.

"These ministers have received rumors in the past few days that besides noble daughters, other nobles from Jindu will be invited to the Qiongshu Banquet. How many prostitutes of my Xue family are in their young ages." Xue Huaidan tentatively asked.

King Qing raised his eyebrows, and his indifferent voice came to his ears unhurriedly, "Oh? Master Xue intends to let those daughters of the Xue family climb into the royal family?"

Xue Huaitan was shocked when he heard the words, shook his head in a panic and denied: "No, I never meant that, but let them go to the Qiongshu Banquet to show their faces and gain a good reputation, so that the wedding will be more beautiful in the future."

　Tomorrow is a transitional episode before the banquet.
