Chapter 61
Ti Xiao scanned Ye Lizhu coldly.
Ye Lizhu stopped looking at him, and went out after Ye Fuan.
Ye Fuan scolded Tixiao secretly in his heart. Smelly shameless, her daughter kept calling her uncle, but the girl actually wanted to eat a bite of the cabbage.
After getting on the carriage, Ye Lizhu leaned on the pillow softly and asked: “Father, what did you talk to His Royal Highness King Qin?”
Ye Fuan pours tea to her good daughter: “You don’t understand the affairs of the court, stay at home obediently.”
Ye Lizhu’s ears turned red, and he pretended to ask casually: “Father, did His Royal Highness Qin mention marriage?”
Ye Fuan’s expression changed: “What did he say to you?”
Because the hair covered his ears, Ye Fuan could not see Ye Lizhu blush.
Ye Lizhu lied: “He didn’t say it, I listened to his servants.”
Ye Fu’an was a little annoyed. The upper and lower servants could not hold the door like this, and even talked about things that hadn’t been written in secret, and let his daughter hear them.
Ye Fuan said: “He raised this matter, but Dad rejected it for you.”
Ye Lizhu grievedly said: “Father, why did you refuse for me? Don’t tell me.”
To refuse is to refuse, there can be why.
Ye Fuan didn’t like his daughter thinking about Tixiao everywhere. He patted Ye Lizhu’s shoulder: “Marriage events, parents’ orders, matchmakers’ words, father will not harm you, Zhuzhu, you listen to father, although King Qin is powerful, It looks very beautiful, but it’s not a good place to get married.”
Ye Lizhu pushed Ye Fuan’s hand away: “Don’t touch me, you will not discuss anything with me.”
Seeing that his daughter was annoyed, Ye Fuan scolded Tixiao secretly, and then said: “Daddy didn’t discuss with you, he didn’t want you to marry away. Zhuzhu, look, Xianzhou is so far away, father is old. Bones can’t ride a horse and can’t ride a car. Someday I want to see you, how should I meet?”
Ye Lizhu’s heart was loosened a lot after hearing Ye Fuan’s words.
In her heart, relatives occupy a very important position. Ye Lizhu looked away and said, “Who said I’m going to marry in Xianzhou, dad, you know nonsense.”
Ye Fuan squeezed her daughter’s face and lied to her: “Father tells you that the place in Xianzhou is not a good place. The winter is terribly cold, and the cold wind blows up like a knife. It can make your face like a knife. Let’s blow it apart. Also, the men and women over there are very aggressive. The men are about the same height as King Qin. Standing there is as scary as a mountain. If you annoy him, he lifts your arm like a chicken. Throw you in the snow…”
Ye Lizhu: “…King Qin doesn’t throw women away.”
Ye Fuan continued: “You don’t believe me? He has always been ruthless towards women. This time King Qin came to Beijing. I don’t know how many people sent beauties to him and let him send them. Zhuzhu, don’t look at his appearance. Daddy has eaten more salt than you have eaten, you listen to Daddy.”
Ye Lizhu took a snack to eat.
Ye Fuan knows that Tixiao’s looks and demeanor can easily make women fall in love with him, and it is not surprising that Ye Lizhu really looks at him.
But as a father, choosing a husband-in-law for his daughter is not just about the man’s appearance and status.
Ye Fuan was worried that Tixiao would use Ye Lizhu and the Ye family. In the future, waiting for the prince to take up the post, he will reveal his nature again and betray Ye Lizhu.
The two are a bit ambiguous right now, it’s nothing, as long as things don’t make a big deal, Ye Fuan won’t admit it.
He looked at his daughter who was obediently nibbling cakes, Ye Fuan was the most partial to his son and daughter, and Ye Lizhu was the best girl in the world in his eyes.
People are good-looking, simple and kind, and if they fall into the hands of bad people, they will be suffering for a lifetime.
Ye Fuan narrowed his smile and said to Ye Lizhu: “Beads, father will not harm you, Qin Wang’s character, father is not sure. Father only knows that he has a lot of blood on his hands, killed many people, and is not merciful. He has brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers at a young age. He is not a soft-hearted person. If you can’t serve him well in the future, he can kill you. Dad is too old to be frightened.”
Ye Lizhu is weak and has a fateful life. If she wants to marry someone, Ye Fu’an will find a young man with a clean family background. If she doesn’t want to marry, it is not that Ye Fu can’t afford a girl.
The doctor often diagnosed Ye Lizhu’s pulse, and her condition went from good to bad. Sometimes the doctor would say that Miss Ye will not survive for long. Hearing such words, Ye Fu’an often feels like a knife. This is his most beloved daughter, and Ye Fuan often hopes to exchange his life for his daughter’s life.
In the face of a clearer and more controlled choice, Ye Fuan would not choose another person who is difficult to control.
There was a banquet in the palace the next day, and Ye Fuan took Ye Jiayou into the palace.
The queen happened to summon Ye Lizhu into the palace. During the dinner, the princesses were all at the banquet, and the queen was also attending, so Ye Lizhu and the princesses were seated together.
After being targeted twice by Ye Fuan, the second prince Zhao Yi didn’t dare to provoke his daughter in an open manner. However, the prince and princess were sitting next to each other, and Zhao Yi peeped at Ye Lizhu many times.
It’s not a formal banquet, just talk about things.
Ye Lizhu was sitting next to Princess Si Rou. She knocked the seeds, and her gleaming peach eyes looked at the others.
Next to his father are a few old people with white beards. They are quite old and they are probably also important ministers. Next to the emperor, there is only the queen. The imperial concubine did not come. It may be that the King of Qin was jealous.
There is one side…
Ye Lizhu looked at her beautifully, slightly surprised. Lu Xuantian, the second prince of Xia Guo? Why is this person here? Next to Lu Xuantian was a young woman wearing an apricot and yellow dress. The woman wore a lot of jewellery. She was tall, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and red lips were like fire. She did not look much like a Yanguo woman.
The prince naturally arrived earlier than the emperor and sat under the emperor. There is still an empty place next to the prince, which is probably reserved for King Qin.
Ye Lizhu was peeling the melon seeds in his hands, and a small piece of the melon seeds was quickly piled up like a sparrow.
After looking at everyone, all her attention was on the seeds.
It’s not that I want to eat, but I’m just boring and playing.
Lu Xuantian, the second prince of Xia Guo, also looked at the girl not far away.
They are generally pretty, with thin arms and legs, white complexion, and weak eyebrows. Most of the ladies of the country of Yan are like this.
Lu Xuantian likes to be passionate and hot, and these light dishes can’t enter his eyes.
Lu Xuantian didn’t know that there was only one prince at the Queen’s knees. He was still thinking that if any princess’ birth mother was the queen, he could marry it back and use it.
Just thinking about it, King Qin finally came.
King Qin was dressed in a python robe with a cold face and extraordinary aura. He saluted the emperor and took his seat.
On the princess’s seat, Lu Xuantian saw a little princess who had been bowing her head peeling melon seeds and suddenly raised her head—it should be the little princess, looking at her petite figure.
When he looked up, Lu Xuantian could see his face clearly.
There was a little cinnabar between the girl’s eyebrows, and her complexion was as white as ice and snow.
After a long absence, Lu Xuantian didn’t pay attention to the strength in his hand, and the cup in his hand suddenly broke.
From the eyes of everyone, Lu Xuantian smiled and said, “This glass cup is too fragile, and it broke by accident.”
Everyone looked at him, but the little princess who peeled melon seeds didn’t look at him.
Lu Xuantian was a little disappointed in his heart.
Wine and delicacies, singing and dancing, the hall is extremely lively.
Ye Lizhu was alone and didn’t mention Xiao to instill her, she naturally didn’t drink.
The others had been drinking for three rounds, and Lu Xuantian found an opportunity to ask the girl next to him to perform a dance.
The girl next to Lu Xuantian was Lu Caichi, the fourth princess of Xia Guo.
The four princesses were generous and graceful, and they attracted the attention of everyone in the hall when they danced gracefully.
Ye Lizhu also felt good-looking, so she stopped peeling the seeds and focused on watching the four princesses dance.
The prince Zhao Yun was beside King Qin. He looked at the four princesses of Xia Guo. Lu Caichi was bright and charming, with a full chest, and a tall birth. He was the type that Zhao Yun liked. However, after learning something, Zhao Yun couldn’t like it anyway.
When the four princesses sat back again, Lu Xuantian smiled and said, “The emperor’s sister is showing her ugliness.”
The emperor said: “The four princesses are knowledgeable, well-versed, versatile, and truly amazing.”
Lu Xuantian said: “Your Majesty, I’m here to come to your country this time, also for the imperial sister’s marriage…”
“Do you want the two countries to marry?” Before Lu Xuantian could speak, the emperor said in a convenient way, “The second prince has not yet married the imperial concubine. The fourth princess and the second prince are talented and beautiful, and they really match each other.”
Lu Xuantian was surprised.
His original intention was to dedicate the four princesses to the prince. I have probed King Qin’s tone before and knew that King Qin did not want the prince to marry the fourth princess. That’s why Lu Xuantian wanted to precede this matter before the emperor, and wanted the four princesses to enter the East Palace to hook up the prince.
Rumor has it that the emperor prefers the second prince. Lu Xuantian estimates that the fourth princess is not high in status, but for the second prince, maybe not only will the prince take the fourth princess, but the fourth princess will be the prince’s concubine.
Lu Xuantian is a discerning person, knowing that the prince has greater potential than the second prince, but in front of him, why did the emperor let the second prince marry the fourth princess?
The second prince glanced at Ye Lizhu and saw that she had no reaction. He didn’t like the four princesses in his heart, but the emperor asked the prime minister to discuss it. That’s why the emperor moved his mind and asked the four princesses to marry him.
Ye Lizhu saw the atmosphere stalemate, and there were ministers who stood up to speak.
She ate some melon seeds, and didn’t mind to listen to what those people were talking about. The hall was too warm, and Ye Lizhu always felt bored, so she slipped out quietly.
Ti Xiao said with a smile but a smile: “The prince has not yet married his concubine, so your majesty has crossed the prince and promised the fourth princess to the second prince, is it wrong?
Hearing Tixiao’s hypocritical words, Lu Xuantian suddenly understood something. It turned out that Xiao Xiao was planning ahead, and he had long been behind him.
The emperor listened to the prime minister’s words early this morning and knew that the four princesses should not be allowed to marry the prince. He had something to deal with. He laughed at the moment: “I didn’t ignore the prince, but the prince will have to go south to inspect after the new year. The marriage cannot be done. The prince entrusted this to Yi’er to do…”
The emperor knew that the prince would definitely not give Zhao Yi this good job, anyway, he could keep talking with Tixiao.
Ti Xiao’s face was cold, and within half an hour, he said he was drunk and went out for a walk.
The emperor was pleased to see the result.
The wind was a little bit strong outside, and Ye Lizhu was wrapped in a cloak, leaning against the railing to eat melon seeds.
The melon seeds she just peeled were put into the handkerchief. Ye Lizhu squeezed and ate them one by one. The surroundings were quiet, but the back of her neck suddenly became cold, and she was lifted up and sat on the tall white marble railing.
Ti Xiao put her on a high place and said with a cold face: “Call another uncle.”
Ye Lizhu held the veil of Baoguazier, and her mouth became dry, “Huh?”
She was on a high place and didn’t dare to move. Tixiao was too bad. At this moment, he was below, holding Ye Lizhu’s waist: “What did you call me yesterday?”
Ye Lizhu felt scared and accidentally leaned back. He must have fallen crippled.
She whispered: “You let me ride on your head, I’m sure to shout.”
Ti Xiao put her on his neck.
Ye Lizhu put both hands on Ti Xiao’s head and said, “Good brother.”
Tixiao helped his waist: “Come to Qin’s Palace to find me tomorrow and let you ride for a day.”
Ye Lizhu felt that it was quite dangerous to be so high, and it was no safer than sitting on a high railing.
After hesitating, Ye Lizhu said: “Forget it… forget it, you are too tall.”
Always riding on Tixiao’s head, she would feel scared.
Ti Xiao said: “Not high, let you ride.”
Ye Lizhu thought about it and wanted to mention Xiao riding on the ground as a horse for herself. She felt funny in her heart. She covered her mouth with one hand and smiled secretly: “Are you drunk? When I wake up tomorrow, I will regret saying this.”
Ti Xiao let her go down to the ground and lowered her head to kiss Ye Lizhu: “No regrets, only you can, no one else can.”
Ye Lizhu did taste the wine. The cold aroma of wine entangled on the tip of the tongue.
