step by step

Chapter 289
One autumn rain and one cool.At night, Ye Zhaoyan sat in front of the window sill, quietly watching the rain outside the window, and many incidents that happened recently flashed through his mind.

After Ye Jingli's mother and son returned to the side branch, Ye Wenxuan stepped forward to stop Xu's disturbance in the clan.

Everything gradually returned to its original position, half of the sadness on Ye Fugui's face disappeared, but the imminent troubles of Ye Fugui never disappeared.

They still haven't found the right candidate.

Just when Ye Zhaoyan was worried, he received an invitation from King Qing.A few days later, Emperor Donglin will hold an autumn hunt in the gardens of the western suburbs, inviting the Jindu family and royal family members to participate.

The names of King Qing and Ye Zhaoyan are clearly listed, and the steward of Prince Qing's mansion brought a message, and King Qing invited Ye Zhaoyan to go to the western suburbs together at that time.

Ye Zhaoyan thought about the post and the oral message together, and immediately understood that King Qing's move was to establish a relationship between the two families through autumn hunting. After all, on such a big festival, it is a good time for aristocratic families to marry and reciprocate.

It has to be said that King Qing's scheming is clever, inviting people by word of mouth instead of letters, not only will it not be true, but once the two families go hand in hand, it will also give people the impression that the two are very close personal friends.

Ye Zhaoyan knew that King Qing and Emperor Donglin were behind the proposal. Obviously, this unprofitable king also intended to facilitate the marriage of the two families.

King Qing is ambitious, and after he succeeds, there will be a bloody storm in Jindu.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyes to look at the haze outside the window, and suddenly felt a sense of trance. In the previous life, the Ye family's downfall would have to wait another two years. In this life, many trajectories have been changed. Will all this be brought forward?
She remembered that Xue Yinxian said in her previous life that Prince Qing and Prince Zhuo had a close personal relationship since Ye Wenxuan returned to Jindu, and King Zhuo also helped King Qing in planning Ye's military power, which made King Qing succeed in the end. Take the throne.

Zhuo Wang's help is the essential key before the dust settles.

Perhaps, you can start here.

Thinking in this way, Ye Zhaoyan took a pen and paper, and began to outline it carefully.

She remembered that the young master and young lady of the Zhuo Palace were also invited to attend this banquet.

Recalling the last time she attended a banquet at Zhuo Wang's Mansion, another face appeared in her mind - Zhuo Mingxuan.

Zhuo Mingxuan is the second son of Concubine Zhuo, and the only male in this generation who has the chance to inherit the throne. He is equally outstanding and intelligent as the eldest son of Zhuo Wangfu, and he is very popular with Zhuo Wang.

According to her observations at the banquet, Zhuo Mingxuan intends to strive for a marriage with the Nanyue princess.

It is natural to think about it, if he gets this marriage, his status will not be what it used to be, enough to compete with the eldest son Zhuo, and he is very hopeful of inheriting the title of King Zhuo.

But she could see that things were not going well.

In this way, it is a point that can be used.

A bold idea came to Ye Zhaoyan's mind, which could be a solution to the urgent need.

Thinking of this, she immediately wrote a letter, inviting Lian Luo to let him quietly deliver it to Zhuo Mingxuan.

This letter cannot be known to the rest of the Zhuo Palace.

That night, Ye Zhaoyan received a reply, and Zhuo Mingxuan did not refuse.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, due to the sudden drop in weather and the strong wind started to blow again at night, Ye Zhaoyan couldn't sleep well, and didn't eat much for dinner.

She leaned against the window, holding hot tea in her hand, and by candlelight, she saw the raindrops falling all over the sky outside the window, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps in her ear, she followed the sound, and saw the young man wearing a long gown in green, with a sword on his waist, stepping quickly towards the rain curtain, the whole person was like a bamboo in the rain, tall and straight, handsome and unrestrained, Heart-pounding.

A trace of surprise appeared in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes.

On such a rainy night, why did Ji Si come to the annual meeting?

Ye Zhaoyan was puzzled when he saw him stop outside the door, and then knocked on the door: "Can I come in?"

Ye Zhaoyan opened the door, and a gust of damp and cold air rushed towards her face, blowing away the broken hair at her temples, but the young man didn't seem to notice it.

"Why is it raining?" Ye Zhaoyan put the teacup in his hand on the table and took a clean coat for him: "It's so late, why did you come here?"

"It's okay, it's just rained for a while." Ji Sinian had already changed the outer long gown, and quickly put on the outer gown, "I've come to discuss something with you."

Ye Zhaoyan glanced across those ink-stained eyes, and stopped the resistance in his heart, "Say it."

"I heard that your marriage with Ye Jingli has been abandoned, and there is no new candidate at present. Do you have other considerations?"

"It's true," Ye Zhaoyan nodded, "but I haven't found a new candidate yet, and I'm still deliberating, so I haven't made a decision yet."

Her reply blew away the mist in Ji Sinian's eyes, "Then you might as well listen to me, maybe I can help you."

"Oh, tell me first?" Ye Zhaoyan seemed very interested.She had just taken a bath, and the tips of her hair were still stained with drops of water. Her long black hair was soft and drooping. Under the light, it glowed with a crystal clear luster. Unstoppable coldness.

Ji Sinian stared at her for a while, then said in a low voice: "Don't you think that hastily letting a man he doesn't know well into the Zhuye Mansion is not as easy to control as imagined?"

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback when she heard the words. After Ye Jingli's incident, she had already thought of this question, but she never thought that it would come from Ji Sinian's mouth.

She stared at Ji Sinian for a moment, her eyes were calm, "Really? The Ye family's power should not be underestimated. Could it be that a humble son-in-law can't be dealt with?"

"If it is true as you said, Xue Huaidan was just a son-in-law at the beginning, what is he like now?" Ji Sinian's tone was still gentle and calm, but there was a deep meaning: "If my guess is right, it is easy for such a person with no background Being bewitched and used by others, it becomes a sharp knife stabbing at oneself."

What Ji Sinian said is true, a son-in-law is indeed beneficial, but it is very easy to become the weak point of the Ye Mansion, and if you are not careful, it will become a lead that lures wolves into the house.

This point, Ye Fu has learned deeply from Xue Huaidan.

Ye Zhaoyan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ji Sinian, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"I know your determination to protect the Ye family, but this move is not appropriate." Ji Sinian's tone was a little serious: "I have a way that can save you from endless troubles in the future. I wonder if you are willing to try it?"

"What way?" Ye Zhaoyan stared at Ji Sinian closely, not letting go of any expression on his face.

"Marry me."

"What did you say?" Ye Zhaoyan was stunned.

"Marry me," Ji Si reiterated in a young voice, "this will help you get out of trouble."

"Are you joking?" Ye Zhaoyan frowned, if Ji Sinian entered Zhuoye Mansion for her, wouldn't it be a waste of the humiliation he and Mrs. Liu have endured in the past few years?
"I married you, but not as a married couple." Ji Sinian explained, "You and I get married to stop King Qing's plan, so that the Ye family can breathe and tide over the difficulties." He paused, as if a little I couldn't bear to say the next thing, "If you don't want to have any contact with the Ji family, you can make peace in the future. Whenever you open your mouth, even if I am far away in the south of the Yangtze River, you can write a divorce letter to complete the peace. In this way , it can relieve your urgent need, and it will not affect my regaining the power of the Ji family in the future. This is a situation that does not affect each other."

Ji Sinian's tone was gentle and firm, with an undeniable strength.

　The author did not run away. Recently, there have been intermittent power outages in the whole province, and the heat has caused repeated heat strokes.
