The next morning, when Ye Jingzhi woke up, he had a splitting headache. He sat on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands and a listless expression, his brows furrowed into knots.
Ye Mu brought a bowl of hot rice porridge.
Ye Jingzhi only took a few mouthfuls before he couldn't eat any more. He repeatedly begged for mercy: "Mom, my whole body feels like being crushed by a boulder. Now I have no strength and no appetite."
Mother Ye didn't try to persuade her. She silently put the bowl on the table and sat down on the chair opposite Ye Jingzhi.
Ye Jingzhi continued to hold his head in despair.
Mother Ye just stared at her son silently without saying a word.
After a while, Ye Jingzhi noticed something was wrong, raised his eyes and looked over: "Mom, why are you looking at me like this?"
That look, with its introspection and anxiety, made him feel uncomfortable all over. Could it be that... he said something he shouldn't have said after he was drunk last night?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Jingzhi's heart suddenly skipped two beats and his throat became a little tight: "Mom, I..."
"You said something you shouldn't have said when you were drunk last night." Mother Ye opened her mouth with a cryptic look and her voice was very low: "Jing Zhi, tell mother honestly. Why don't you want to get married? It's because of the Seventh Prince.
Concubine?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
There is no need to ask anything more.
Just looking at Ye Jingzhi's face, everything was answered.
Ye Mu closed her eyes in pain, then opened them, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Are you dizzy? Your Highness has given you the kindness of knowing and supporting you. If His Highness finds out about this kind of thing, how can you have the face to see His Highness?
?”
"Furthermore, Third Miss has been very kind to our Ye family. If it hadn't been for Third Miss, your sister wouldn't have been able to escape Zhao Yang's entanglement, and my illness wouldn't have been cured, nor would you be where I am today. How dare you do anything to me?"
She has such thoughts..."
Ye's mother said that the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the more she spoke, the more annoyed she became. She couldn't help but reach out and slapped Ye Jingzhi hard: "You're just lost your mind!"
In anger, Mother Ye took action without mercy.
Five bright red fingerprints suddenly appeared on the left side of Ye Jingzhi's face, causing a burning sting. These slight stings were so insignificant compared with the intense shame and pain in his heart.
"Mother," Ye Jingzhi's voice was hoarse and choked: "I know that I shouldn't miss her even a little bit. However, I have been in love with her since I was twelve years old..."
…
In the academy competition that year, the ten-year-old girl Xie Mingxi defeated everyone in the competition and was extremely successful. The beautiful girl with a calm smile and a light smile was also deeply imprinted in his heart.
Qi Da Fei Qi.
Even if there is no seventh prince, there are other famous sons. He is not worthy of her at all, and he does not even have the courage and qualifications to express his feelings.
She is the bright moon in the sky, and he can only stand under the moon and look up at her.
This infatuation, which no one knew about, was carefully treasured in his heart. He studied hard and passed the exam. He was fortunate enough to be selected by His Highness the Seventh Prince to be a long history student. After entering the Seventh Prince's mansion, he finally got closer to her.
"Mother," Ye Jingzhi's face was full of tears, and his voice was trembling and hoarse: "I didn't mean to blaspheme her. I like her in my heart and have liked her for six years."
"I will be careful to keep my distance and never show half-heartedness."
"Mom, you believe me."
Ye Mu's tears also welled up: "You evil deed! You can't decide which girl you like, so why do you prefer Miss Mu San? Everyone knows that Your Highness is very affectionate towards her. She is now the seventh prince's concubine, and she has
If you are pregnant, you will soon give birth to an imperial grandson or granddaughter."
"She has never paid attention to you before, and she will never pay attention to you again."
"You should give up all your inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible."
"In the past, you used studying as an excuse to refuse to get married. Now you have become a new star, and you have made a long history of the sixth grade. It is not difficult to get married. This matter does not tolerate your willfulness, and I will immediately ask the official media
Say goodbye to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jingzhi became anxious and pulled Ye Mu's sleeves without thinking: "Mom, I don't want to get married!"
Mother Ye, who had a gentle temperament, made up her mind this time and glared at Ye Jingzhi angrily: "I, your biological mother, have the final say on your life-long events! You are already eighteen years old and you are not married yet, when will you wait?"
Whether you think about it or not, you have to listen to me on this matter."
After saying that, he pulled back his sleeves and walked out angrily.
There was a sound of someone kneeling down behind him.
"Mom, I beg you. Don't force me." Ye Jingzhi cried in a low voice: "I will marry a wife and have children to carry on the Ye family's lineage. Please allow me to wait for two more years. When I am in my weakest years, I will definitely
marriage."
When a man is twenty years old, he is in his weakest years.
When Ye Jingzhi opened his mouth, it was two years later. How could Ye's mother respond? She squeezed out three words: "I will allow you to get married next year at most!"
Ye Jingzhi didn't dare to make his mother angry again, so he had to agree. Then, he whispered: "Mom, you must not tell my sister about this."
Ye Qiuniang is naturally straight-tempered and quick-tempered. Once she knows that he has such thoughts, she will feel angry and anxious. If she is discovered by the shrewd brother-in-law Yu An again, and then reports it to the seventh prince's concubine...
When Ye Jingzhi thought about this, he felt his scalp numb and his mouth bitter.
How could Mother Ye not know the pros and cons, and took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You must also remember that trouble comes from your mouth. Talking nonsense when you are drunk is just this one time. Don't do it in the future.
No more drinking.”
"Fortunately, I was by your side last night. If someone else heard it, how would you defend yourself?"
Ye Jingzhijun's face turned pale, he tightened the corners of his mouth and nodded in agreement.
…
Naturally, Xie Mingxi didn't know Ye Jingzhi's thoughts.
As far as she is concerned, Ye Jingzhi is Ye Qiuniang's younger brother, and he can be regarded as someone she promoted. Now he has become a long-term official, and he is dedicated to serving Sheng Hong. That's all.
Even if he knew it, Xie Mingxi would not regard it as any trouble.
When she was at Lianchi Academy, she and Sheng Hong were considered the "Twin Sisters of the Capital", and there were quite a few young men who secretly admired her. However, before she had time to come to propose marriage, Sheng Hong's true identity was exposed, and Feng Zhi who granted her the marriage was also revealed.
Arrive at Xie's house.
Before her peach blossoms could bloom, they were all defeated by Sheng Hong.
Xie Mingxi heard that Ye Changshi took two days off after being drunk.
Xie Mingxi laughed it off.
Time flies, and a month has passed.
The weather is hot in August, and Xie Mingxi is six months pregnant.
There was an ice basin in the room, but Xie Mingxi still felt unbearably hot. She was often covered in hot sweat and felt quite uncomfortable. She simply took a shower three times a day.
Sheng Hong now has an errand from the Ministry of Industry and is quite busy during the day. He puts off all the banquets and entertainment in the evening and returns home to be with his beloved wife.
That night, the third prince held a banquet, but Sheng Hong couldn't refuse, so he had to go.
