When the emperor traveled, he was guarded by the imperial army and attended by officials, and he came to Prince Ye's Mansion.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" Except for Prince Ye and Concubine Ye, everyone else knelt down.
"There is no need to be polite. Today is a family banquet. Come on." A gentle voice sounded, and then an elegant middle-aged man got off the luxurious sedan chair. He was none other than His Majesty Qin II.
After Ye Sheng stood up, he looked up and found that Qin II's temperament was more like a scholar, which was very different from the emperor he imagined.
"Your Majesty, please come into the palace." Prince Ye said.
"Okay, you all wait outside, Qian Yue will accompany me into the house." Qin Er smiled.
"Here!" said the servants.
"Qian Yue, I didn't expect His Majesty to recruit you after all." Prince Ye stared at the person next to Qin Er.
Ye Sheng also looked over quietly, and saw that he was a person with no sense of existence, holding a long sword in his arms, and staying in the shadow of Qin Er without saying a word.
"Your Majesty has solicited me several times with great sincerity. Qian Yue went to Xianyang alone to serve as His Majesty's bodyguard." Qian Yue spoke, his voice hoarse, as if being rubbed by a blade. He looked like an old man, with gray hair and a very vicissitudes of expression. But there was only one
The hands look like those of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
"The prince has always said that it is not safe for me to leave Xianyang, so I have recruited the best swordsman in the world as my bodyguard. Now that I will leave Xianyang for inspection, the prince should be relieved." Qin II laughed.
"With Qian Yue here, there is no need to worry about His Majesty's safety. I congratulate Your Majesty." Prince Ye stared at Qian Yue and said softly.
"Okay, today is a family banquet. Mr. Gan Yue can protect His Majesty, so he deserves to be seated. Your Majesty, please invite me." Concubine Ye smiled, walked over, took Qin Er's arm, and led him inside.
Prince Ye also extended his hand and said: "Swordsman Qianyue, please."
Gan Yue nodded without saying a word and followed His Majesty into the mansion.
…
The Ye Mansion family banquet was very grand and held in the backyard of the Ye Mansion. Famous opera troupes in Xianyang City were invited to perform. When Concubine Ye took His Majesty to the seat of honor, the troupe began to prepare.
At the main banquet, there will only be Prince Ye and his wife, Concubine Ye and His Majesty, plus five people from Qian Yue. The rest will go to the banquet next door.
"Twelfth brother, you stay here." Just as everyone was leaving and going to the banquet next door, Concubine Ye suddenly said.
Ye Sheng was fine after hearing this, but the rest of the people felt unbalanced, especially Ye Qing, who was extremely jealous and stared at Ye Sheng with very complicated eyes.
"Ye Sheng has a low status, how can he be included in the banquet?" The eldest lady couldn't bear it anymore and said.
Concubine Ye glanced at her calmly and said, "I didn't say that I would let Ye Sheng attend the throne banquet. Is the eldest lady ostracizing the children in the house like this?"
The eldest lady's expression changed, and she clenched her hands under the table, filled with hatred.
Concubine Ye ignored her, but said to Qin II: "Your Majesty, this is my brother Ye Sheng, whom I often talk about to you."
Qin Er stared at Ye Sheng with great interest and said with a smile: "So it's him. You said you missed him when you were in the palace. When you see him today, he is indeed extraordinary in appearance and noble in temperament."
Hearing His Majesty praise Ye Sheng like this, Ye Qing's face almost twisted, he was as angry as a green bull, and smoke came out of his nose.
Hu Mei frowned on one side and reached out to twist Ye Qing's waist. The pain made Ye Qing look at Hu Mei with dissatisfaction. He was not feeling well.
Hu Mei glared at him with a stern look, signaling Ye Qing not to do anything stupid, as this was not the place to do so.
Only then did Ye Qing stop his crazy thoughts and looked at Ye Sheng's back, becoming more and more unwilling.
Ye Sheng completely ignored Ye Qing's jealousy. Faced with Qin II's praise, he said, "It is a blessing for ordinary people to be remembered by His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I love this brother the most in the entire Ye family, and I also feel sorry for this brother the most. When I came back today, I wanted to ask your majesty for something for Ye Sheng." Concubine Ye said with a smile.
Qin Er was not angry. Instead, he was quite interested and said, "What do you want to ask for for your younger brother?"
Not only Qin II was interested, the rest of the people were staring at Concubine Ye, including Prince Ye, who frowned slightly and watched quietly without saying a word.
"A disciple of the Emperor." Concubine Ye Guifei lightly opened her red lips and said.
The rest of the Ye Mansion looked at Concubine Ye in surprise. The disciple of the emperor meant too much. Concubine Ye actually spoke like this for Ye Sheng?
For a time, Ye Sheng received countless jealous looks.
Prince Ye's eyes narrowed and he said: "Ye Sheng has no fame or talent. He is not worthy of being a disciple of the emperor."
Ye Qing was about to explode with jealousy. After listening to his father's words, he seemed to have found a place to vent his anger. He said with enthusiasm: "Your Majesty, Ye Sheng is recognized as a waste in Ye Mansion. Even martial arts are learned secretly and are not systematic.
, cannot afford to be a disciple of the Emperor."
After Ye Qing said these words, he felt refreshed and looked at Ye Sheng proudly. There was no way he would let Ye Sheng become the emperor's disciple.
But what greeted him was only Ye Sheng's contemptuous eyes.
Ye Qing was stunned, then looked around, and saw Hu Mei's pretty face, which was terrifyingly dark, and her eyes were like arrows, hitting Ye Qing's heart.
While looking at the main seat, Concubine Ye's face was livid, her eyes were as if she were looking at a dead person, without emotion, anyone could see how angry Concubine Ye was at this moment.
Beside Concubine Ye, Prince Ye had an unwavering expression on his face, looking at Ye Qing as if he were a fool.
Ye Qing's face turned pale, his body was swaying, and he vaguely felt as if he had made a big mistake.
"Ye Qing, Your Majesty is here again today. As my younger brother, you insulted me, but I have to defend myself." Seeing the unswerving expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Sheng said after pondering for a moment.
When Ye Qing saw Ye Sheng, who was as rich as jade and had an extraordinary temperament, he felt irritated for no reason and said sarcastically: "What's there to defend? Father doesn't allow you to practice martial arts. You disobey orders and secretly learn martial arts. You are sixteen this year."
, your cultivation level is only the third level of the day after tomorrow, how can you become a disciple of the Emperor?"
"First, my father doesn't allow me to learn martial arts. It's because of my father's considerations."
"Second, my martial arts were taught to me by my eldest sister before she entered the palace. I did not learn them secretly."
"Thirdly, during the three years that my eldest sister entered the palace, I carefully practiced martial arts without being discovered by anyone, without any resources, and reached the third level of the day after tomorrow. You can imagine the difficulty of this."
"Fourthly, you, Ye Qing, have been practicing martial arts since you were young, and you have acquired the sixth level of strength, but in my eyes, it is nothing more than this. I want to defeat you, it will be easy."
Ye Sheng was reasonable and well-founded, one by one, and the eyes of Concubine Ye Guifei in the main seat lit up.
"The twelfth brother said it well." Concubine Ye Guifei smiled and applauded Ye Sheng.
At this moment, everyone could see that Concubine Ye was determined to protect Ye Sheng. Even Prince Ye looked at Concubine Ye in surprise. He did not expect that the brother-sister relationship between them was so deep.
Now that this farce has come to an end, Qin II has basically understood it and said with a smile: "Prince Ye, it seems that there is no harmony in your house."
Prince Ye sighed and said, "I am ashamed of myself. I have neglected to discipline them all these years, which led to such a joke."
"It doesn't have to be like this. Since Ye Sheng said that defeating Ye Qing is easy, then I will give you a chance. You two will have a fair fight. If Ye Sheng wins, the emperor's disciple promises you that if my concubine wants to use this emperor's disciple to help you do anything, I will do it for you."
I agree, but if you lose, then I will have no choice but to decline my beloved concubine’s proposal." Qin Er said.
