Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 407
Jiu Rao sat on the carved brocade couch in front of the window, half-closed his eyes, and looked a little lazy and sleepy.

Ji Huangyu stood on the right side of her, carefully lowering her eyebrows and rubbing her temples.

Luan Fei held his sword and stood on the left side of Jiu Rao, his brows were cold and cold, and he silently looked at the two people who came in.

The battle in front of him didn't look like waiting to meet his son-in-law at all—at least it wasn't what Ye Junling imagined.

He thought that the hall should be the kind that is often staged in aristocratic families. The father-in-law and mother-in-law sat on the left and right seats, and a few serving servants stood beside them. After a couple of children came in, they began to serve tea.

Of course, some extra difficulties are another matter.

At least the scene should be solemn and rigorous, even with a kind of indifference.

But this is clearly not the case.

The thought that flashed through Ye Junling's mind didn't come to the surface, and when he entered the hall, he used the fastest speed and the shortest time to calmly size up Jiu Rao, Luan Fei and Ji Huang Yu—very His eyes glanced over naturally, and then he lowered his eyes calmly, showing a respectful and restrained posture.

Pull up your clothes and bow down.

Salute calmly and respectfully: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are on the top, Uncle Ji is on the top, my son-in-law Junling, I pay my respects to all the elders."

Nan Si knelt side by side, but did not speak.

Today's venue is her parents' and Ye Xiaoqi's venue, she is just here to set off and keep the venue for him, there is no need to talk.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Luan Fei's eyes fell on the handsome face of the young man in Xuanyi, and his brows were slightly frowned. At that moment, he vaguely understood the reason why Luan Huang'er was attracted to him.

Most girls love beauty and judge people by their appearance.

And the young man in front of him is undoubtedly a typical example of extremely handsome and noble, even if compared with him and Ji Huangyu's standards when he was young, Ye Junling is not inferior.

Jiu Rao propped his chin lazily, looking upright at the beautiful face in front of him, with a relaxed and playful expression.

The young man's complexion is still a little pale, he has been raised in the palace for a few days, his body bones are probably not fully recovered yet.

"Little son-in-law?" Ji Huangyu mocked lazily, "Whose son-in-law are you? Has anyone here ever recognized you?"

Nan Si raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him calmly.

"What are you looking at, little Liuer?" Ji Huangyu raised her eyebrows and leaned against the screen, "If my baby is smart, in front of your parents today, don't use any means of threatening self-harm..."

"What self-mutilation?" Luan Fei's brows turned cold, he frowned and looked at Ji Huangyu, his eyes seemed to have gathered a layer of thick frost, "Who self-mutilated?"

Nan Si's nerves tightened slightly.

Ji Huangyu looked at Luan Fei silently, with suspicion in her eyes.

Really don't know, or pretend not to know?
Ye Junling said slowly: "I would like to report to my father-in-law, this matter is my fault—"

"Besides your precious daughter, who else could it be?" Jiu Rao's tone was flat, without any emotional fluctuations, "But the matter has passed, there is no need to pursue it."

Luan Fei was expressionless.

Jiu Rao leaned on the chair, and his eyes fell on Ye Junling's face: "My good son-in-law looks good, and this obedient and well-behaved attitude is also very pleasing to me. In addition, his temperament is tough and his bones are hard, so there are many advantages."

Ye Junling bowed his head in fear and trepidation: "Thank you, Mrs. Mother-in-Law, for your praise, my son-in-law is ashamed."

"I haven't finished my words, so don't rush to thank me." Jiu Rao continued, "Knowledge, appearance, and temperament are all very important, but the most important point is, do you really like Xiao Liu'er?"

"Returning to my mother-in-law, my son-in-law only loves Si'er in this life."

"I believe what you said." Jiu Rao's tone was calm from beginning to end, "My daughter is beautiful, smart and wise, and her status is even more expensive. If you have the opportunity to like her and win her likes, yes Your pleasure."

These words are very straightforward and hit the nail on the head.

For a man, such remarks are enough to make one feel damaged in self-esteem.

But after the words fell, Ye Junling's facial expression softened visibly to the naked eye, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Nan Si, and his voice was also soft: "Yes. Si'er likes it, I have cultivated it all my life. blessing."

Jiu Rao raised an eyebrow.

Nan Si didn't speak, but looked up at her parents calmly, wondering how they would react after hearing Ye Xiaoqi's words.

Jiu Rao's expression seemed surprised.

Ji Huangyu scoffed lightly.

Luan Fei was calmer, with a hint of deep thought appearing between his stern eyebrows.

"Since you also have such thoughts, I would like to make a request by the way." Jiu Rao's tone was light, "Give up your position as the crown prince of Donglan, and go back to Dongling with Xiaoliu to be her son-in-law."

When Ye Junling heard the words, he was obviously a little surprised, but even more surprised: "Mother-in-law agrees to us being together?"

Jiu Rao said calmly: "I'm not an unreasonable person. If you have a lover, you will naturally be fulfilled, but I'm just such a daughter, and I don't want her to marry far away, so you can only give up some things."

Give up something?
What to give up?
Of course, it is the position of emperor, power, and even the dignity and status of a man.

Since ancient times, it has been a marriage between a man and a woman.

Of course, Jun Jiurao is an empress and cannot be compared with ordinary women. Her imperial husband is also willing to become her subordinate. Their relationship cannot be used as a reference between ordinary couples.

And Nan Si is the princess.

She has no intention of inheriting the throne, nor does she have the responsibility to govern the country, so she doesn't need to marry every emperor husband to fill the harem.

And Ye Xiaoqi is the king of Donglan.

When Nan Si married Donglan, she would be the queen. Although her parents would miss her, they would also worry that she would be wronged and made things difficult for her in a foreign country.

But backed by a powerful Tangling Empire, Nan Si's situation could never be the same as that of ordinary princesses who marry and get married from afar.

No one here in Donglan dares to make things difficult for her, especially after knowing her identity.

So, all worries are unnecessary.

But Ye Xiaoqi is different.

Although Donglan is not weak, compared to the mighty Dongling Empire, he is still slightly inferior. This is one of them.

Second, Donglan doesn't have enough relatives who love him enough to provide him with strong protection. If he abandons the throne and enters Dongling alone, becoming the consort of the princess of the Dongling Empire, then his fate in this life will be beyond his control .

In other words, whether he lives or dies in this life, whether he lives a good life or not, is completely out of his own hands.

Power, pride and dignity are no longer within his grasp, Tang Ling will become a cage, the empress and four imperial concubines, the five princes of the Tang Ling Empire, and Tang Ling's army will all be beyond his reach. Break free from imprisonment.

His life, death and freedom will be completely entrusted to Nan Si, and how he will live the rest of his life will be completely determined by Nan Si's mood.
