Chapter 155: You really need to be thick-skinned

Xia Zhuofeng sighed secretly, what a sensible child he is, what a pity.

The emperor felt like a thorn in his back, although there were ministers who spoke frankly and risked their lives to make suggestions on weekdays, but Ye Jinxuan seemed to be very sensible when she spoke, but in fact every word was full of needles and thorns, talking about things like good deeds and blessings, right and wrong, what a piece of shit, she was as vicious as she could be.

But he couldn't say anything to her because he was in the wrong, which really made him angry.

Xia Chunyu's eyes and mouth twitched as he stared at Ye Jiayao, saying with deep regret and affection, "That day, I stood where you fell off the cliff and swore to heaven that I would never marry again. Don't even think about living a life of respect. You and I can't be together in life, and we can't be buried together in death, so let's go to the underworld and be a pair of ghost couples!"

Ye Jiayao felt panicked when she saw that his originally affectionate eyes suddenly revealed an oppressive chill. What was he going to do?
Xia Chunyu then kowtowed three times to his father respectfully, and said solemnly: "Father, please forgive me for being unfilial. I will never agree to divorce my wife and remarry. I will say goodbye now and repay you for your kindness in my next life."

Xia Zhuofeng was dumbfounded. What was he doing?
Xia Chunyu said to Helian Xuan again: "Tell Xiao Jingqixuan and the others that Jinxuan and I died voluntarily. It has nothing to do with others."

Finally, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have already arranged my funeral. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

Xia Zhuofeng knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, my family has been loyal for generations. My great-grandfather followed my great-grandfather to fight for the country. During the Eight Princes Rebellion, my grandfather risked his life to lead Your Majesty and the Seventh Prince to fight his way out of the imperial city, but was eventually killed by arrows. I have guarded the border for decades. Although my achievements cannot be compared with those of my ancestors, my loyalty to the emperor and the country is no less than any of them. Even Chunyu, who started to follow me to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, fought in many battles and made some contributions. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy. If you want to punish him, I am willing to exchange my head for his life."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. They are deeply in love, why do you have to separate them? I think that if the Seventh Prince were still alive, he would never agree with Your Majesty's actions. Although Your Majesty is thinking about Princess Liuli and really loves Xia Chunyu's talent, the Seventh Prince values ​​friendship and loyalty the most in his life. If he knew about this in the afterlife, he would also feel deeply uneasy." Helian Xuan said.

The emperor looked at Xia Chunyu's fearless look, then looked at the old marquis's grief-stricken look, and thought about Helian Xuan's words. Indeed, if the seventh brother were still alive, he would not approve of this marriage. Chunyu, ah, Chunyu, what a pity.

"I was just joking just now, testing Chunyu to see if his feelings for Ye are as sincere as he said. Look how anxious you are, so get up!" The emperor found a way out for himself.

Holy shit, is this a joke? I almost got scared to death.

Ye Jiayao was the first to react. She immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude and said with a smile, "I knew that the emperor was joking. A monarch as wise as your emperor is unprecedented and unparalleled. How could he really force a subject to divorce his wife? I want to thank your emperor very much. If it weren't for your emperor, I really wouldn't know that my husband loves me so deeply. I decide that from now on, I will burn three incense sticks in front of the Buddha every day and pray for your emperor. I pray that your emperor will live a hundred years and be blessed with good health. I will also study more delicious food to honor your emperor. Your Majesty, you are so wise. I don't know what to say..."

Ye Jiayao talked incessantly, while Xia Chunyu and Helian Xuan were stunned.

Just now he was calling the emperor a piece of shit, and now he's flattering him non-stop, and it doesn't seem out of place at all, which makes me feel ashamed, ashamed...

Damn, it really takes thick skin to be a good person!
The emperor could only sigh secretly. If it weren't for Liuli, he would have liked Ye Jinxuan very much.

Xia Zhuofeng's eyes twitched, and he looked at Ye Jinxuan in disbelief. This daughter-in-law is really...too much to bear! However, she is very good, very flexible.

Helian Jing and the others were waiting outside with great anxiety. They had been inside for a long time but hadn't come out yet. Could it be that the Emperor was making things difficult for them?
"No, I have to go in and take a look." Helian Jing was about to rush in.

Su Yi stopped him with his fan: "Be patient, the lack of movement means everything is still under control."

Zhao Qixuan also advised him: "If Su Su says it's okay, then it must be okay."

"Even if the emperor is angry, can he really kill Xia Chunyu? Will your brother and the old marquis agree to that? Won't they make a scene?"

Helian Jing said anxiously: "Of course the emperor will not kill Chunyu brother, but it is hard to say about Yaoyao."

Xia Chunfeng also said: "Yes, if the emperor wants to punish Li Yao..."

"No, no, since Xia Chunyu dared to bring Li Yao, ahem, um, Ye Jinxuan to see the emperor, he will definitely protect Ye Jinxuan. If you want to kill them, kill them all together, or don't kill anyone." Su Yi said.

"That makes sense. If the emperor wants to punish Ye Jinxuan, Xia Chun will not stand idly by." Zhao Qixuan echoed.

Helian Jing had no choice but to give up, hoping that everything would be fine.

As he was speaking, Zhao Qixuan said happily: "It's out, intact, with the head, hands and feet still there."

Su Yi glanced at him: "Can a brainless person still walk?"

"How is it?" Helian Jing hurried forward.

Helian Xuan wiped his sweat and said, "It was just a false alarm."

Xia Chunyu was also sweating through his heavy clothes, and he exhaled: "Finally passed."

The old marquis blew his beard and glared: "You little bastard, if you dare to scare your father like this again, I will beat you to death first."

Ye Jiayao hurriedly comforted him: "My Lord, don't be angry, I will talk to him in a good way."

Xia Chunyu glared at her. What did he say? If she hadn't been so bold as to insult the emperor, would he have resorted to such a desperate measure? He hadn't settled accounts with her yet!

The old marquis's eyes shone: "What did you call me?"

Ye Jiayao came to her senses and said shyly, "Well... you haven't recognized me yet, so I don't dare to call you that!"

The old marquis said, "My son is willing to die for you, how dare I not recognize you?" "Dad..." Xia Chunyu was afraid that his father would embarrass Yaoyao.

Seeing that there were so many people present, the old marquis wrote down the account first and would settle it later. He said to the two of them, "Go home later and settle the matter quickly to avoid any more complications."

Xia Chunyu was overjoyed: "Dad is wise."

"Don't flatter me. I won't fall for it." The old marquis waved his sleeves and left.

"Congratulations, the lovers are finally together." Zhao Qixuan congratulated with a smile.

Ye Jiayao said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry for keeping it a secret from you for so long."

"It's okay, it's a pleasant surprise! We couldn't believe it when Xiaojing told us!" Zhao Qixuan smiled and thought to himself: Poor Xiaojing, it can be seen that Xiaojing really likes Li Yao, but in the blink of an eye, she has become a woman, and she is already taken.

Ye Jiayao said to Xiao Jing again: "Xiao Jing, thank you."

She had thousands of words to express it, but she could only use these two words.

Helian Jing smiled bitterly and said, "If he dares to bully you in the future, tell us and we will help you deal with him."

Helian Xuan slapped him on the head: "Stop making trouble."

Ye Jiayao thought to herself: If he dares to bully me, I will take care of him myself.

Everyone was walking and talking happily. In the distance, a pretty figure was looking coldly at Ye Jiayao's back. She hated her so much that she didn't even feel the pain when her nails dug into her flesh.

You Li Yao, you Ye Jinxuan, how dare you tease me? I will make you die miserably.

In the mansion of Marquis Jing'an.

Xia Youshi personally served tea to the old marquis and asked with concern: "Master, what did the emperor say?"

After finding out last night that Li Yao was Ye Jinxuan, Xia Youshi felt very uneasy and had mixed feelings.

If his son really married Ye Jinxuan, it would be a big loss. It would be better for him to marry Liuli! Moreover, he had to take such a big risk to explain to the emperor today.

The old marquis sighed and said, "Look at me, I'm sweating all over. At least I made it through without any danger."

Xia Youshi said: "Then... shall we agree to let Ye Jinxuan in?"

The old marquis said, "What else can we do? She has already married Chunyu and saved his life. How can we not let her in? People will criticize her!"

After a moment of silence, the old marquis smiled again and said, "However, this girl is very suitable for my temper."

Xia Youshi sneered, saying meaningfully: "There are many people who have a bad temper towards you."

The old marquis said awkwardly, "You are the one who suits my temper best."

Xia You gave him a glare and sighed, "I feel so uncomfortable. Ye Jinxuan looks good, but her status is too low. If she is a concubine, she is okay, but as a wife, she is not even a reluctant wife. Besides, she has been in the market before, so I don't think she is reliable. She will be the mistress of this mansion in the future."

"In my opinion, she will be no worse than you as the hostess." The old marquis said sincerely.

Thinking back to what that girl said to insult the emperor, I felt refreshed all over.

Xia Youshi rolled her eyes at him and said, "She is amazing. She has won your heart in just a short while."

The old marquis smiled and said, "We can only say that we have good vision. It doesn't matter if you are of a lower status. The key is that you have to have ability."

"Then let me see how capable she is." Xia Youshi snorted coldly. She acknowledged Ye Jinxuan's cooking skills, but not necessarily other things.

"Well, just wait. I'll ask them to go home and discuss the marriage. The Emperor has passed the test, but I don't know if there will be any problems with the Queen Mother. It will be better to settle it as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease."

"Don't we have to invite elders to discuss the marriage? Ye Jinxuan is the daughter of the Yangzhou Tongzhi, so we have to invite Ye Tongzhi to come." Xia Youshi said.

The old marquis said carelessly, "Why bother with so much trouble? They are already married, it's just a ceremony. I heard that Ye Tongzhi's second wife is not a good person. We have the final say on this matter."

At this time, Xia Chunyu and Ye Jiayao were sitting in the carriage returning to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xia Chunyu kept staring at her without saying a word, which made Ye Jiayao feel uneasy.
