Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 423 Sudden Decision

Time passed little by little.

There was silence in the main hall of the East Palace.

It is rare for Ye Junling, who has been completely ignored, to enjoy himself. Thinking of his recent experience of being punished to kneel frequently, and thinking of the previous sentence "A man has gold under his knees", he feels that the things in the world are really amazing.

No matter how lonely and arrogant a person is, once he meets someone who makes him willing to bow down, he has to let go of his dignity and pride.

If you kneel too much, it becomes a habit.

After all, who told him that the girl he likes has such a noble status, such a powerful background, and so many fathers and brothers?

Ye Junling sighed inwardly, and couldn't help feeling that it was better in the Heavenly Dynasty, when there were not so many relatives to embarrass him, except that Si'er often rewarded him with two gold pieces...well, that's not right.

At least when he came back here, Si'er was considered to be back with his relatives, and although there were difficulties to overcome, Si'er's attitude towards him finally cleared the clouds and mist and saw the sky, instead of continuing to be as distant as when he was in the Celestial Dynasty. There is always a distance between people, which makes him uneasy.

He felt it was worth it for a little bit of physical pain in exchange for a lifetime of friendship with Si'er.

"Yejunling." Jun Lingxiao opened his eyes, his pupils were calm, and his tone could not hear the ups and downs, "You are the prince of Donglan, and your status is comparable to that of Luanhuang'er. If I let you give up Donglan With the status of Prince Lan, you are willing to join Dongling as a son-in-law?"

Ye Junling was silent for a moment before regaining his senses.

Then he froze.

Abandon the identity of Prince Donglan and join Dongling as a son-in-law?
Why is that?
Although this request was also mentioned by the mother-in-law, the same words have different meanings when they are spoken by two different people.

When Jiu Rao said this, Ye Junling could treat her as a daughter who was eager to love her, so she tried her best to keep her by her side, but that request was not mandatory.

But the meaning of Jun Lingxiao's words is different from that of Jiu Rao.

Although several princes loved Nan Si dearly, the reason why the prince made this request was definitely not because of his love for his sister.

Ye Junling was silent for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I was able to sit on the throne of Donglan because of Si'er... Luanhuang'er planned for me, and she took most of the credit. Before returning to Dongling, my father-in-law and mother-in-law My lord has also mentioned this matter, my answer is still the same as when I was in Dong Lan, and I fully respect Luan Huang'er's opinion on this matter."

After a pause, "If she likes the way of life in Dongling, I will marry her in Dongling. If she is more willing to hold hands with me, I will never easily abandon the world she won for me."

"Really?" Jun Lingxiao's voice was flat, unable to hear any emotions, "If I want Xiao Liu to inherit Dongling, what should you do?"

what?
As soon as this remark came out, not only Ye Junling was stunned, but even Jun Lingfan beside him froze for an instant, looking down at the indifferent Jun Lingxiao in disbelief.

Ye Junling raised his eyes, and doubts appeared in his eyes: "Brother Huang is testing me?"

Jun Lingxiao didn't speak.

"If Brother Huang really has the idea of ​​letting Luan Huang'er ascend the throne, I think I should not ask me about this matter, but should ask the opinions of my mother-in-law and Luan Huang'er." Ye Junling's tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "I have no ambitions for Dongling Jiangshan , Everything depends on Luanhuang's opinion. If Brother Huang is just trying to test me, then there is no need, even if it is Donglan's country, I am willing to let Luanhuang'er be the queen."

After a pause, "In this life, nothing—whether power or wealth can replace Luanhuang'er's position in my heart."

Outspoken, do not hide or conceal.

This is Ye Junling's attitude towards Nan Si.

Jun Lingxiao narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently: "I didn't mean to test you. Let Xiaoliu take the throne after careful consideration. Let you have a psychological preparation first. Whether you abandon Donglan Jiangshan or merge into Dongling, It's all up to you—”

"Brother Huang." Jun Lingfan cut off his words suddenly, his tone was slightly tight, "Why?"

Yes.

why?
Ye Junling frowned, he also couldn't understand Jun Lingxiao's intention, and judging from Jun Lingfan's reaction, he obviously didn't know about it.

So in other words, what Jun Lingxiao said today was entirely his own intention, and he didn't tell anyone.

Moreover, when the mother-in-law was in Donglan, she said that she would abdicate when she came back, and wanted Jun Lingxiao to take the throne.

So what is the reason for this sudden decision?

Ye Junling frowned slightly, and guessed, "Brother Huang, what are your difficulties?"

"It's nothing." Jun Lingxiao said lightly, "I just don't like being an emperor."

Ye Junling was dumbfounded.

This reason is also considered strong.

Just say "I don't like it" and can give up the power of the country to my sister at will?
Ye Junling pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Even if the emperor really doesn't like it, don't there be other princes in the Jun family? It doesn't have to be Luanhuang'er who inherits the throne."

The second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince.

Which one is more suitable than Luanhuang'er to inherit Dongling.

Although the current emperor of Dongling is a woman, and the previous emperor was also a woman, it doesn't mean that the ministers have accepted an empire where women are respected.

And this request was made by the eldest son of the emperor, I'm afraid no one will understand his thoughts.

"Brother Huang." Jun Lingfan lowered his voice a lot, all the brilliance disappeared from his twinkling peach eyes, and his expression was visibly silent, "I also want to know why."

Jun Lingxiao was silent for a moment, "Ye Junling, go back and discuss this matter with Xiao Liu, and give me an answer tonight."

"You don't have to wait until tonight, I can give you an answer now." Ye Junling frowned slightly, "The chances of Luanhuang'er agreeing to this matter are not high, not only because of the large number of heirs of the Jun family, but also because of the consideration of father-in-law and mother-in-law. The thoughts of the ministers. Purely from the wishes of Luanhuang'er and me, we are not willing to take charge of such a vast territory—"

"Your wish is not important." Jun Lingxiao interrupted him calmly, the meaning in his words cannot be refuted, "Go back and discuss with Luan Huang'er, and then give me an answer."

Ye Junling was silent, and nodded slowly: "If Brother Huang insists, I will obey orders."

Just agreeing to go back and discuss with Nan Si does not mean that he will agree to this matter.

After the words were finished, Ye Junling was silent for a while, and then he heard Jun Lingxiao say calmly: "You can go."

Ye Junling didn't expect to pass the test so easily, and felt more and more abnormal in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just nodded calmly: "Thank you, brother, Junling will retire."

After all, get up and leave.

The hall was quiet for a moment, Jun Lingfan lowered his eyebrows and asked softly, "Why did the emperor make such a decision?"

why.

Jun Lingxiao said calmly, "I thought you should know the reason."

When the words fell, there was a bang.

Jun Lingfan fell to his knees in response, his face instantly pale as paper.

　good night.
