Jiaochu

Here, Yan Fei came to the imperial study to report to Ye Lanchen that King Pingnan had led the Red Armor Army to leave the capital. Ye Lanchen mentioned that Su Shangshu's youngest daughter, Su Yu, had passed the age of hairpin and she had been given a gift for him. Yanfei once again stated that he already had his heart set on someone and would not marry anyone but her.

Before Yan Fei said who it was, Ye Lanchen asked him to go down first, as if he knew who it was.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and Yan Fei is not sure what the emperor is thinking. His third uncle analyzed it and said that because he only had one daughter left, he did not want to marry off so early.

He was worried about another thing. There was someone else in the emperor's mind for his consort. Compared with him, a general who could go to the battlefield at any time, a civilian official would be better. There was an idea that made him feel a little despicable, but he couldn't help it. One issue he did not consider was that Su Shi might be the emperor's favorite consort. He was not just making random guesses, but there were clues to follow. First, the emperor had great respect for Su Shi, and he had no intention of marrying Su Shi. Ye Lingxi and Su Shi were also classmates and had a good relationship. In the eyes of the emperor, they might have been childhood sweethearts and they were in love with each other.

Every time he thought about this problem, he would get upset. Occasionally, he would have the impulsive thought of arresting Su Shi and asking him if he had any thoughts of becoming the prince-consort. This worry about gains and losses made him feel useless. The shame of judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that Su Shi should know his thoughts and wouldn't argue with him. Thinking about it this way, he felt even more despicable.

But whether he is despicable or ashamed, he wants to marry someone!

Thinking of this, he turned back to the imperial study room.

Ye Lanchen saw people leaving and coming back, but before he asked what was wrong, Yan Fei knelt on the ground and reported solemnly: "Your Majesty, the person Wei Chen likes in his heart is the third princess. I ask your Majesty to make it happen."

Eunuch De was surprised.

Ye Lanchen waved to Eunuch De to step aside first, and then asked Yan Fei: "If I fail, what are your plans?" Yan Fei was silent for a moment and solemnly replied, "We will do our best to gain the emperor's approval." Ye Lanchen picked up the tea cup, scratched it twice, took a sip, and said, "What if I want you to be an idler from now on?" Yan Fei replied, "I'm sorry that I can't obey my order." Ye Lanchen put down the tea cup and said , "Back off." Yan Fei still knelt down, "A true man stands between heaven and earth. He should uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth and do things aboveboard. I don't want to be a useless idler. This is not worthy of the princess." .”

……

After coming out of the imperial study room, Yan Fei was still worried. He didn't get an answer in the end. He was still unsure whether the emperor would fulfill his wishes in the future. He also reflected on whether he was too impulsive. But if he waited until the marriage was granted, If we wait until the imperial edict comes down, it will be too late.

In the bamboo forest, she had said that she would not resist the marriage, but by then it was a done deal. What would be the use of him kneeling before the emperor again? He would still go and steal the bride, and then wander around the world and remain anonymous for the rest of his life. She would not choose this path. She still wanted to marry him. He has a mother and a concubine, a younger brother, and he also has a mother, a grandfather, and a third uncle. Can he really abandon these people and walk away? But letting him watch her marry someone else is worse than killing him. It feels uncomfortable. Seeing her having sex with others in the future is a sign of his indignity. Maybe he will never return to the capital and spend his whole life guarding the border, watching the moon every night to pass the time. Either die on the battlefield or be buried in the Under the loess...

As he walked, he unknowingly came to the vicinity of the martial arts training ground. He raised his head and looked under the ginkgo tree. He saw a figure standing under the tree. His heart skipped a beat. After his eyes were fixed for several seconds, he raised his head. Walked over. The shoes made a slight sound on the fallen leaves.

Golden leaves spread a layer on the ground, and the golden leaves swayed slightly on the trees. The sunlight shone on the golden leaves, shining clear and pure light.

When Yan Fei came over, Ye Lingxi closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the leaves swinging slightly, and the sound of his footsteps as he walked over. When Yan Fei stopped, she opened her eyes and slightly avoided the light that was shining on her eyes. Sunshine turned to look at Yanfei. When he was looked at by those eyes, he looked a little unnatural. He chatted with her about the weather and said that the weather was good today, which was suspected of diverting attention.

She also said that the weather was nice, so she knelt down and picked up a golden ginkgo leaf. Yanfei also knelt down, picked up a ginkgo leaf and handed it to her, thinking she was going to collect the leaves. She asked him to close his eyes, and Yanfei did so. , his heart beat a little faster, and a blush appeared on his face unconsciously. He felt his hair being gently moved twice. He opened his eyes and saw that the two ginkgo leaves were no longer in her hands. They must have run to him. When his head went up, he saw the person in front of him smiling crookedly, and he didn't mind the two extra horns on his head.

She went to pick up the ginkgo fruits that had fallen on the ground and carried them in her clothes. Yanfei also helped to pick them up. The two of them picked them up under the tree for a long time until they could no longer carry them. She said she would make milk ginkgo cake and wait until it was ready. Give him a taste, and Yan Fei is looking forward to it.

Seeing that Ye Lingxi had brought back a lot of ginkgo fruits, Zhuer quickly told her that the fruits were poisonous and could not be eaten raw. She said she was going to make milk ginkgo cake, and went to the kitchen with Hehe and Bell.

The three of them worked in the small kitchen for a long time and finally made a cake that was delicious in color and flavor.

Ye Lingxi tasted one piece first and found it was fine. Then she divided the pastry into two portions, one for her mother-in-law and the other for Lingdang to send to Yanfei.

In the evening, Yanfei left the palace carrying a food box. He met his third uncle on the road. Yanjiang asked him what delicious food was inside and wanted to open the lid to take a look. Yanfei hid the food box behind him and said it was nothing. , paused, informed Yanjiang that he proposed to the emperor today, and left immediately, leaving Yanjiang standing there stunned.

Just as Yan Fei looked back, Yan Jiang appeared in front of him the next moment, and immediately he was grabbed by the shoulders and taken into the nearby tavern. Yan Jiang ordered a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, looking very interested. Yan Fei tried to leave several times, but Yan Jiang pushed him down on the stool.

"Tell me how your kid asked for marriage and what the emperor said. Third uncle, I can analyze it for you, so that your kid won't think like a headless fly."

Under Yanjiang's eager inquiry, Yanfei said. After Yan Jiang drank wine and ate peanuts and pondered for a few seconds, he analyzed him in this way and came to the conclusion that he had half the chance of becoming the Prince Consort, and the remaining half depended on God's will. Yanfei felt that he had said it as if he had not said it, so he picked up the food box and left.

When he returned to his place, he opened the lid and saw that a piece of pastry was missing. He didn't know when a piece of pastry was stolen from under his nose.
