After Ye Cangqiong left, Ye Canghao finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Shen Huan, smiled and said: "It's okay, he is like this. Since he was a child, he always said that I am a fool because he is his elder brother and he is smarter than me. But it doesn’t matter, although he is smarter than me when he becomes emperor, his martial arts skills are not as good as mine, and all his men combined can’t beat me, so he is most afraid that I will fight him to the death.”
Shen Huan felt suffocated in her heart, her lips trembled, and she muttered: "Cang Hao..."
Ye Canghao hurriedly took a step back and shouted: "Don't be like this. You know I can't stand women like this. My ears will turn red and my heart will beat faster!" As he said this, he fanned his face with his hands. It seems really hot
Shen Huan was amused by him again and said: "Okay, I'm tired too, you should go back to your room and rest."
"Okay," he hurriedly turned around and went out. After walking a few steps, he came back and said, "If you are hungry at night, let Qingyue bring you a midnight snack. The fire will not go out at night. You You can eat whatever you want.”
Shen Wen nodded with a smile and said, "I understand." Ye Canghao left with a smile.
Shen Wen was in a daze for a while. Thinking of what Ye Canghao had said to Ye Cangqiong just before her resignation, her hands involuntarily touched her lower abdomen and she couldn't help but shed a few tears. She didn't know whether to celebrate Ye Canghao's naivety or laugh at him. Too silly, but maybe, those words were just used by him to anger Ye Cangqiong. If he took it seriously, wouldn't it be too ridiculous? Thinking like this, she felt relieved, and fell into sleep.
The next day, Ye Canghao came to Qilanyuan to see Shen Huan as usual. Every time, she had not gotten up yet. But probably because of what happened last night, Shen Huan got up too early today, so Ye Canghao had breakfast with her. , and then entered the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother
Before leaving, Shen Huan grabbed him and asked worriedly: "If your eldest brother and the Queen Mother talk about me, don't be impulsive or talk nonsense."
Ye Canghao thought for a while and said: "I know what to do, but I think my eldest brother will not be in such a hurry to tell my mother about this. You don't have to worry too much."
Now that he said that, Shen Huan didn't say anything more and just let him go.
Ye Canghao entered the palace, went to the Queen Mother's Hall, said hello, and talked to the Queen Mother for a while. The Queen Mother talked to him about some household matters. He listened patiently and waited for the Queen Mother to finish. He was about to come back when he heard The high-pitched voice of the eunuch announced the arrival of the emperor.
Ye Canghao would leave before this time. He also wanted to hear what his elder brother said about him, so he stayed
Ye Cangqiong walked into the Queen Mother's Hall and saw that Cang Hao was still there. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Huh? The second brother hasn't gone back yet?"
Cang Hao replied bluntly: "I will stay with my mother for a while longer. Does the emperor have to ask questions like this?"
Ye Cangqiong smiled and said: "I told you that I thought you were accompanying your mother. If you didn't know, you thought you were waiting for me to have something to say!"
Cang Hao put on a straight face and said, "I have something to tell you."
Ye Cangqiong sat down, playing with a piece of jade in his hand, and said calmly: "That's right, I said everything I needed to say last night, there is no need to say it again today, it just depends on what I do next."
The Queen Mother asked strangely: "Emperor, did you go to see Hao'er last night?"
Ye Cangqiong glanced at Cang Hao and said with a smile: "Yes, mother, I have something to tell my second brother."
"Oh? What is it?"
"That's it...it's the marriage between the second brother and cousin Xue!" Ye Cangqiong smiled heartily, "Cousin Xue has always been in love with the second brother and is your niece. They are just the right age and can choose a good and auspicious day to let the second brother. My brother and cousin Xue are getting closer."
The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear. Just as she was about to say yes, Ye Canghao suddenly stood up and said: "Who said I want to marry cousin Xue! I have never liked her, why should I marry her! Brother, if you like her so much, why don't you like me better?
Come and get married!"
Ye Cangqiong said with a wicked smile: "I do want to marry you, but she loves you, not me!"
The Queen Mother looked at Cang Hao and said curiously: "Hao'er, you also know that your cousin Xue has always had feelings for you. Even if you don't like it, you don't have to reject it so simply! Our Ye family and Qianye family have always had mutual marriages.
Your mother is from the Qianye family, so why not marry Xueer?"
Ye Canghao walked up to the Queen Mother and knelt at her knees. He raised his head and said bitterly: "Mother, you also know that I don't like cousin Xue. How can I marry her? Besides, she is so barbaric that even my eldest brother dare not marry her."
, you old man, can you bear to be tortured by her every day after I marry her, and become a doormat? Wuwu..."
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and sighed: "Xue'er's temper is indeed a bit..."
Ye Canghao stood up immediately and said with a smile: "That's right, mother! I think cousin Xue's temper is the most suitable for being a queen, so that the eldest brother won't dare to mess around! The eldest brother is older than me, so he should get married as soon as possible!
Look at him now, hanging out with some palace maids and brothel girls all day long! It is simply an insult to the country! Who can control him except cousin Xue, don't you think so?"
The Queen Mother had been drawn into the circle, and she nodded in confusion: "What you said makes sense..."
Ye Cangqiong was shocked: "Mother!"
Ye Canghao took the lead and said: "Speaking of my mother, you were born in the Qianye family, and you married your father with the honor of the queen. How can you now wrong your cousin Xue to only be a mere princess of Qi? Or the queen is more important.
Suitable! By the way, Queen, there are still pig's trotters stewed in the kitchen of my palace. I have to go back and check the heat. If the water is boiled dry, it won't taste good. I'll retire now. I'll ask you for Queen Mother tomorrow."
By the time the Queen Mother came to her senses, Ye Canghao had disappeared.
Only Ye Cangqiong stood on the spot, her teeth clenching loudly. The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said to Ye Cangqiong: "Emperor, in fact, what Hao'er just said..."
"Mother, my son and I still have a lot of things to do. We will discuss the private affairs of our children later!"
"What kind of affair is this? What you are marrying is the queen, and it is also a national event! Your cousin comes over to eat fast with me at noon, and you will stay and have a meal with me?"
"Without my mother, I will have something to do at noon."
"Where are you going during meal time!"
Ye Cangqiong looked at the door with a fierce look in his eyes and said bitterly: "Go to Prince Qi's Mansion and see how the second brother's pig's trotters are doing!"
The Queen Mother watched him go, sighed, and said to herself: "It's just a fasting meal. Everyone hides so quickly and says Xue'er is not good. If someone is willing to accompany me to fasting, she is much better than you!"
Ye Canghao hummed a tune and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion. When he saw the housekeeper, he casually asked: "What's for lunch today?"
The butler reported a series of dish names, but Ye Canghao interrupted him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter anything else. You know, I want pig's trotters? I want them braised red, so they're so good."
The butler was confused, but still responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Canghao remembered Ye Cangqiong's expression at the Queen Mother's place, and suddenly burst out laughing. He proudly walked into Qilan Garden and told Shen Huan what happened in the Queen Mother's Hall.
(PS: This chapter makes the boss lady so playful, braised pig's trotters, hahahaha)
