Jiaochu

"Lingxi, do you think my father will grant me a marriage in two days?"

Facing those pitiful eyes that were on the verge of tears, she couldn't bear to pour cold water on them. Her second sister had already been designated as the Crown Princess of the Southern Territory. If there were more princesses, the other vassal kings wouldn't be jealous. Ba Su, if you want to do something behind the scenes, you have to wait for another two years even if you have multiple princes and concubines. In addition, her father probably wants to support King Jin, the new vassal king, so that he can gain a foothold in the northwest region.

Seeing that Ye Lingxi was silent, Ye Xingye thought that he was "on the verge of death". In desperation, a bad idea came to his mind. He stood up and said, "In the worst case, I will become a monk and become a monk-" Before he finished speaking, he said With a "Yo" sound, he was pinched by a hand on his arm and glared at him, so he sat down obediently.

She took back her hand, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her third brother, asking him to take a sip of tea and calm down. Ye Xingye finished it in one breath and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"Third brother doesn't want to marry Miss Liu, is it because he has never met Miss Liu, or is it because of something else?" She poured herself a cup of tea, her manners were calm and her expression was calm, as if she already had a plan to deal with it.

Ye Xingye hesitated and didn't say why, but his face turned red first.

"If the third brother meets Miss Liu and finds that Miss Liu is as beautiful as a fairy, will he be willing to marry her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xingye flatly denied: "No." He answered simply and neatly, without any sloppiness. She took a sip of tea and said, "That's enough, I'll go tell my father." Ye Xingye was stunned for a moment, before he could react, "What did you say?" She put down the cup, stood up and said, "Third brother, just wait. Come on." After saying that, he left.

Ye Xingye looked confused.

No more cups of tea?

Before dinner, He He went to the imperial study and spoke a few words to Eunuch De, who then conveyed the words to Ye Lanchen.

"Your Majesty, the princess just asked someone to come over and say that Your Highness can speak~"

When Ye Lanchen brought Eunuch De over, he happened to see Ye Lingxi making faces, making Ye Jinnian giggle. Concubine Lan also laughed as she hugged Ye Jinnian.

Seeing the three of them laughing together, Ye Lanchen also smiled, walked over and said, "I heard that Jinnian can talk?"

"Father, listen." Ye Lingxi made a sound, and Ye Jinnian looked at her with his dark eyes, with a confused look on his face. She said again, and Ye Jinnian chuckled.

Ye Lanchen picked up Ye Jinnian from Concubine Lan's arms and felt that the little guy was a little heavier.

When dinner was delivered from the imperial dining room, the wet nurse carried Ye Jinnian down.

While eating, Ye Lingxi said, "Father, I went to see my third brother today, and he was almost crying."

Ye Lanchen said: "Why are you crying, a man?"

Ye Lingxi said: "The third brother didn't cry, he almost cried. I asked the third brother what happened, and the third brother said that he was getting married."

After hearing the last three words, Concubine Lan looked slightly surprised, not knowing the inside story.

Eunuch De told Zhu Er and others to retreat with great discernment.

Ye Lanchen took a bite of the food and said, "King Jin's sister is about the same age as Xing'er. You can’t save a near fire.”

Hearing the next sentence, Concubine Lan looked slightly surprised, and her beautiful eyes showed a bit of worry, fearing that the father and daughter would get into a dispute.

Ye Lanchen smiled slightly and asked, "Then according to Lingxi, what should we do?"

Ye Lingxi stood up and walked over and whispered a few words, and Ye Lanchen nodded.

Concubine Lan didn't know what riddle the father and daughter were playing, so Ye Lanchen said to her, "If Lingxi becomes a military advisor, he will definitely be victorious in every battle." Concubine Lan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, stop praising her, otherwise From now on, I will dare to take Jinnian to the house to unveil the tiles." Ye Lingxi said seriously, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, from now on I will make sure that Jinnian can play in the hall, in the kitchen, and be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If he If you dare to go to the house to reveal your tiles, I will," she paused, deliberately showing off, put her hands on her hips, and said with dignity, "I will tell my father."

Concubine Lan covered her face and smiled, and Ye Lanchen also smiled.

The next day, King Jin Liu Jin brought his sister Liu Ru to the royal study to meet Ye Lanchen. Concubine Rong and Ye Xingye were both there.

Before coming, Ye Xingye was extremely nervous. After he came and saw his mother and concubine, he felt so nervous that his soul was about to float out. He thought that it was over, the marriage was definitely a done deal.

When he saw Liu Ru, he felt like he was half scared out of his soul, but he was not scared by the girl's appearance, but by himself.

Moreover, the girl is not bad looking, with eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, small cherry mouth, very beautiful appearance, quiet and dignified temperament, no worse than the ladies in the capital.

When Liu Ru saluted Concubine Rong and Ye Xingye, Ye Xingye looked down at the ground and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Concubine Rong couldn't see it and coughed lightly, and Ye Xingye raised his head slightly.

"I heard that you and Xing'er are about the same age." Hearing these four words again, Ye Xingye felt like a magic sound was ringing in his ears. He wanted to block his ears with his fingers. His nerves were so tense that if his mother If Concubine Rong said something like a perfect match, he might jump three feet high. Fortunately, Concubine Rong did not say such words, "She looks two years younger than Xing'er. I am the only child like Xing'er," Ye Xingye said His heart jumped into his throat and would burst out the next moment, but when he heard his mother-in-law's next words, he was stunned.

"After all, you are no more considerate than your daughter. When I saw your child today, I felt that I was in love with you and wanted to accept you as my adopted daughter. Are you willing?"

With a snap, Ye Xingye's heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, fell back into his stomach. One moment, he was so nervous that his soul was about to smoke. The next moment, he felt like he was in a cloud. He suspected that he was hearing hallucinations. After waiting It took a few seconds to react, and he was immediately ecstatic and laughed as if no one else was watching.

Then, he lowered his head in embarrassment, trying to find a crack in the ground to get in.

After coming out of the imperial study, Ye Xingye still couldn't believe that he had really "escaped death". He felt that the sky had never been so blue, the white clouds had never been so white, and the air had never been so fresh. Everything seemed to be reborn. .

But following his mother and concubine, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

"You can hide from the first grade of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth grade." Concubine Rong said.

Ye Xingye felt like a basin of cold water was pouring down on the ground, making him feel chilled inside and out.

"If there is a girl you like, tell her as soon as possible. Don't be so anxious that you almost lose your soul." Concubine Rong said.

Ye Xingye hesitated to speak, struggled for a long time, and said: "Mother, I'm still young, and my second brother hasn't gotten married yet. It will be my turn after my second brother gets married."
