Chapter 32 Concubine, look at him~ (Second update)
She didn't understand the relationship between Li Zimo and Bian Xiao, and thought there was no barrier between the adopted son and the adoptive father. However, He Yanyan was a little surprised when she heard what Bian Xiao said:
"Wang, Zimo has stayed in the palace for a long time. It's a good thing to go back and sit down. Besides, you are father and son..."
"How can there be a father and son who are five years apart?" Bian Xiao glared at Li Zimo, then picked up the chopsticks and got ready to eat, "I said, if it doesn't work, it won't work."
He Yanyan was a little surprised. She hadn't asked Li Zimo's age yet. She originally thought there was at least a dozen years difference between the two, but she didn't expect it was only five years.
She looked at Li Zimo, and then at Bian Xiao. She originally planned to complete two sentences, but finally gave up.
But Ye Siying thought this was a good opportunity and suggested: "Wang, since the princess likes this adopted son so much, it would be better to let the princess live in the palace with the adopted son."
"no!"
"OK!"
Bian Xiao and Li Zimo spoke out almost at the same time.
Bian Xiao was originally worried about the situation Ye Siying mentioned, but what he was worried about was that the emperor would keep He Yanyan in the palace as a hostage to restrain him.
But now that Ye Siying reminded him, he began to worry about whether Li Zimo would be harmful to the princess.
Bian Xiao couldn't get enough of this breakfast. In the end, before he finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and called Qi Haoxuan:
"Go to the Imperial Study Room."
But before taking two steps, Bian Xiao seemed to have thought of something important, and turned to look at Ye Siying reluctantly: "You accompany me."
Ye Siying jumped up from her chair happily: "Yes!"
Then he glanced at He Yanyan with contempt, turned around and went back to the room to change clothes.
"Mother, concubine," Li Zimo put down his chopsticks gently, "Today, I am going to pay homage to the empress dowager. Do you want to accompany me, concubine?"
Thinking that she had nothing to do if she stayed here, He Yanyan agreed.
The four people met at the door. Bian Xiao saw Li Zimo always sticking to He Yanyan's side and became very angry.
"King, wait for me!"
Along the way, Bian Xiao walked in front and Ye Siying chased behind. When he reached the door of the royal study room, he stopped and waited.
The two of them came to the Imperial Study Room. At this time, the Emperor had just left the morning court and was reviewing memorials inside.
After Bian Xiao saluted, he sat on the chair by himself, and Ye Siying also sat down with him.
Emperor: Are you polite?
The emperor coughed twice in embarrassment, folded the memorial and was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Bian Xiao:
"My brother has not gone to court these days, which has made the emperor very tired. When my brother recovers from his injury, I won't bother my brother so much!"
Upon hearing this, the corner of the emperor's mouth twitched——
You, the regent, are really tired of life! Seeing that I have to take over the government affairs myself, you actually want to get involved?
However, due to Bian Xiao's power, the emperor just smiled and nodded:
"The late emperor used to favor my fourth brother, thinking that he was better than me in learning history books. But now I can also govern myself, so I won't trouble my fourth brother. It would be better for my fourth brother to be a prince who enjoys a comfortable life!"
Prince?
Bian Xiao nodded and smiled——
Doesn't that mean you put the knife on my neck?
Regent, no one in Rongbian Kingdom has died a good death!
"Today, my brother brought Yingying to see the emperor. I hope that the emperor can do me a favor."
help you?
The emperor raised his eyebrows——
Is there anything else you need me to help you with?
"Fourth brother, it's okay to say it."
"Brother Huang has also seen it," Bian Xiao thought for a while and acted awkwardly, "Although Yingying and my brother are in love, because of the princess, not everyone agrees with this marriage, so
, I still hope..."
"I still hope that the emperor can keep the princess in the palace and not return to the palace again!"
"..."
Before Bian Xiao finished speaking, Ye Siying opened her mouth and said what she wanted to say first.
Bian Xiao didn't react at first, so he responded twice: "Yes, so... um? No!"
After he reacted, he looked at Ye Siying blankly, and a murderous aura surged up.
Gritting his teeth, Bian Xiao faked a smile: "Yingying really loves to joke. Brother Huang, what I want to say is, can I ask the emperor for a marriage and marry Yingying to my brother?"
"Marriage?" The emperor saw the couple singing in two different directions. He was confused for a moment and didn't understand what they were doing. He just nodded, "It's not that difficult, but since the fourth brother likes
, why should you mind other people’s eyes?”
In Rongbian Country, if the emperor grants a marriage to a relative, there is a custom that the girl to be married needs to live in the palace for a period of time and learn etiquette.
Bian Xiao also meant the same thing.
I hope to use this excuse to let Ye Siying stay in the palace, which will not only make He Yanyan live more comfortably in the palace, but also make the emperor feel that he has a hostage and can control himself.
The emperor nodded slightly and did not refute: "In that case, this is my decree. But if this is the case, Miss Ye will temporarily live in the palace."
Ye Siying looked reluctant, but Bian Xiao was the first to respond: "My brother, thank you, my brother!"
In an instant, Bian Xiao felt much more relaxed.
After bringing Ye Siying out, Bian Xiao was so happy that he could sing songs along the way. Ye Siying followed behind and cried:
"Wang, do you want to drive Yingying away? How can you let her go?"
I originally thought that my tears could win the man's affection, but I didn't expect that Bian Xiao only responded: "Yes, I'm willing to give up."
But after the two men left, the emperor touched his chin and couldn't figure out what this was. He called the eunuch in charge: "You have also seen what happened just now. What does Xiao mean here?"
The eunuch in charge shook his head.
But the emperor thought about something else: "Is it possible... that Bian Xiao deliberately wanted me to keep Ye Siying and save He Yanyan?"
When they came back, He Yanyan and Li Zimo had already arrived at Shiquan Palace and packed their bags.
Bian Xiao, who was originally in a good mood, narrowed his eyes when he saw that Li Zimo was leaving with him: "Zimo, does the Queen Mother agree to you going to the palace?"
Li Zimo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Yafu!"
With a look of reluctance, Bian Xiao could only suffer the loss of being dumb:
"Then let's leave early. It's still a long way from here to the palace."
Seeing Bian Xiao about to leave, Ye Siying ran over and hugged the man from behind: "Wang, do you really don't want Yingying anymore?"
He Yanyan was a little puzzled - didn't she just go out for a while, why did she not want any of the new concubines?
Bian Xiao was a little annoyed and wanted to break the woman's hand off, but there were many eye-catchers from the emperor around, so he could only pretend to hug the girl affectionately:
"Yingying, this is for your own good. When you have enough time, I will personally come to pick you up."
Ye Siying burst into tears: "Can't you let He Yanyan stay?"
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Bian Xiao felt for the first time what it felt like to be deflated:
"The princess has passed the marriage, but you haven't. This is also for your future status in the palace. With the emperor's marriage, your status will be more stable."
Ye Siying pouted and reluctantly agreed.
Finally getting rid of this woman, Bian Xiao took a deep breath and sat on the carriage. Li Zimo said angrily:
"Mother and concubine, it seems that Ya's father is very fond of this concubine, and has asked the emperor to grant a marriage. Ya's father himself is the regent, and he still comes to the emperor for such a matter. It's really true..."
Li Zimo hesitated to speak, but Bian Xiao felt that it was better for him to speak clearly and stared: "Speak clearly, Zimo."
The man's fierce tone made Li Zimo grab He Yanyan's wide sleeves and hide behind him, with a look of aggrievedness on his face:
