When Ye Qingcheng returned to his mansion, the servants in the mansion were all discussing the matter in low voices, with gossipy looks on their faces.
Seeing her stop and waving to them, the two little girls walked forward tremblingly, "Miss!"
"Talk! What are you gossiping about?"
The two little girls looked up at Ye Qingcheng in confusion.
"What were you discussing just now?" Ye Qingcheng asked again.
"Back to the eldest lady, the slaves just saw Princess Xiyue running to the eldest master's courtyard in a hurry. Then after a while, she ran out with a smile and left the house. The slaves were all discussing that Princess Xiyue went to the eldest master's courtyard.
What did you do?"
One of the two little girls answered Ye Qingcheng in a low voice.
Ye Qingcheng waved his hand and let the two girls go.
Then he walked thoughtfully towards Ye Liancheng's courtyard.
Could it be that Jun Xiyue likes her brother?
Along the way, I made a lot of guesses.
When they arrived at Ye Liancheng's courtyard, they saw Aunt Yun standing in the courtyard with a pale face, while Ye Liancheng looked a little gloomy.
This is something she has never seen before. Every time she sees Ye Liancheng, he always smiles gently. Even if he is restrained by Aunt Yun, he can always calm down and control his emotions.
But now, he was glaring angrily, his expression gloomy and terrifying.
I don’t know what kind of excessive request Aunt Yun made.
Ye Qingcheng walked in slowly. Aunt Yun saw her coming and rushed forward to speak. She waved her hand to stop her and then walked towards Ye Liancheng.
Standing next to Ye Liancheng, Qingsheng asked, "Brother?"
Ye Liancheng tried his best to control his emotions, slowly calmed down, and the expression on his face gradually returned to calm.
"Sister, why are you here?" He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his hoarse voice, and asked Ye Qingcheng.
"I've heard all about it, and I probably guessed what Xiyue came here for!" Ye Qingcheng smiled and said it directly.
When Aunt Yun heard this, she quickly ran over, "Miss, since you know that Princess Xiyue likes Liancheng, please hurry up and stop her from asking for a marriage from the emperor. Please, don't let her go to the emperor."
Say it!"
As she spoke, Aunt Yun knelt down with tears in her eyes.
"Why?" Ye Qingcheng asked Aunt Yun coldly, but her eyes were still looking at Ye Liancheng's expression.
He was just helpless and angry towards his aunt, and Ye Qingcheng could not see any attitude towards Jun Xiyue.
"Miss, we Liancheng are just concubines. Princess Xiyue is a royal princess. How could the emperor let her marry a concubine? If Princess Xiyue fails to beg the emperor, we Liancheng will be implicated. Who can save us then?
Our Liancheng's fate is at stake? Miss, can you please help your elder brother?"
Ye Qingcheng was a little angry, yes! It's true that Ye Liancheng was a bastard, but as a mother, Aunt Yun repeatedly denied, belittled and questioned her own son. Is this really right?
"Haha... I, Ye Qingcheng's brother, is worthy of anyone!"
One sentence made Aunt Yun extremely desperate.
Now, she is a little out of control, and it is also because of the eldest lady. This eldest lady always encourages her son. Now it is better, and the son even covets the princess.
"Aunt Yun, I advise you to do your duty well! Please stay out of other things that you shouldn't interfere with! Strictly speaking, you are just a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion! And my brother is the master! You have no right to interfere with his affairs! Although
Just wait for it!" Ye Qingcheng said coldly again.
Since she wants to debase herself, then she will only be treated as a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for the matter of gaining face from her grandmother and living as a big lady in the manor, forget it!
If she doesn't regard herself as a human being, why should she?
Let her say these cruel words. She knew that Ye Liancheng would not be able to say such things.
Aunt Yun looked over in disbelief with her teary eyes wide open. It could be seen that Ye Qingcheng only said a few words to Ye Liancheng and left.
She stepped forward tremblingly, "Son, do you miss your mother that much too?"
Ye Liancheng was not perverted, he just supported her and said, "Mom, you are tired, I will help you go back to rest!"
Aunt Yun pulled out her arm fiercely. She was not as gentle as before, and said coldly, "I don't have to do anything for you, sir. I can go back by myself!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out without any hesitation.
Ye Liancheng just watched for a while and did not chase after him.
This mother is always like this. If she doesn't get her way, she'll get angry with herself.
Obviously I am rude and uneducated, but I still pretend to be gentle and weak in front of my grandmother every day.
As a son, he didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only endure his temper and cater to his mother.
But she went too far, confining herself in the palace to prevent him from having any ambitions.
Let alone let him reveal any of his talents.
Gradually, his father became disappointed with him and even began to treat him as dispensable.
She always said, let him live an ordinary life and live the same life as she did before.
But she didn't know that he was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he was extraordinary.
Jun Xiyue ran all the way, and when she arrived at the imperial study, the emperor was playing chess with Concubine Xian.
She didn't dare to waste a moment and knelt down as soon as she entered.
She was afraid that Prince Chu would be one step ahead of her and tell her about choosing her as his marriage partner, so she would have no chance.
"What is this child doing? Are you out of breath?" Concubine Xian was a little frightened, and she was even more afraid that the child would say something to anger him in front of the emperor. She quickly put down the chess piece in her hand, went over to support her, and then warned her quietly.
"No fooling around!"
How could Jun Xiyue be threatened by her? She pushed away her mother and concubine's hand holding her, and crawled to her father's feet on her knees.
"Father, I beg you, please don't let me go to Chuguo to get married, okay?"
The emperor's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Prince Chu had already made his choice? Did he choose Qi Yatou?
To be honest, what he likes most in his heart is this Qi Yatou, who is lively and cute, has no bad intentions and is lovable.
She is not as dull and cold as the second girl, nor is she as messy and willful as the sixth girl.
Seeing that her father didn't speak, Jun Xiyue became even more anxious. Tears burst out of her eyes, "Father, please don't marry me. I have someone I like. I don't want to marry the prince of Chu. No, no, no! Please!"
You, don’t let me marry you!"
Concubine Xian stood there a little helpless, her eyes were red.
How could she be willing to let her daughter get married? Was she pleading with the emperor on the way?
But she also knew that it was not easy to plead for mercy in this matter. It was not because the emperor was unkind, nor because she was not favored enough.
But the emperor had already spoken out and asked Prince Chu to choose among the three princesses of the right age. Whoever is chosen will be the one, and no one can make trouble.
"Qi Yatou, how did you know that Prince Chu chose you?" The emperor asked with a headache.
"Prince Chu chose Xiyue?" Concubine Xian was surprised at first and asked.
"No, no, no, Concubine Xian, don't be so surprised! I don't know about this yet!" The emperor couldn't help it when he saw his beloved concubine, and quickly waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, people, please don't scare me. I have this heart in my throat all the time, but I can't stand the fright!" Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the critical moment is not reached, she still has a chance.
