Chapter 218: Meeting
Yao Zhi was obviously panicking.
“What do you mean?”
“Cough, nothing.” After a clear cough, Ye Shuo returned to normal almost instantly.
After all, she had just nodded. It would be bad if I wasn’t careful and scared her away again.
Quickly suppressing the uncontrollable possessive desire that was emerging in his heart, Ye Shuo closed his eyes and slowly loosened his hand.
When Yao Zhi saw his face again, Ye Shuo had that familiar, harmless look again.
Since Ye Shuo was born as a human being, he would naturally have human reactions. When he was excited, he could not control his emotions for a while.
Especially since Yao Zhi’s heartbeat was accelerating and her cheeks were red, Ye Shuo wanted to bully her, as well as her plump lips with teeth marks…But not now, it would scare her.
Yao Zhi, who was standing by, watched his eyes change from dark to light, and finally to a familiar smile. She was terrified.
I always feel like he has become a different person just now.
However, before Yao Zhi could think about it, Ye Shuo said, “I will go and tell my father to start preparing for it.”
After saying that, Ye Shuo ran out happily, and it was too late for Yao Zhi to stop him.
After a moment, Yao Zhi couldn’t help it and stomped her feet hard.
“What are you in such a hurry for?”
But in the end, Yao Zhi laughed uncontrollably.
Yao Zhi is not a person who likes to drag things out. Since she has promised him, she will not go back on her word.
Although she was still feeling a little embarrassed and shy, Yao Zhi still walked out confidently in front of everyone.
When Ye Shuo returned to the palace, he found Emperor Jingwen fishing in the imperial garden.
In the past, at this time he was either reviewing memorials or meeting with ministers, but now he has basically left those tasks to others.
My cheap dad has changed a lot compared to before.
Perhaps because he knew that he did not have much time left, after experiencing a struggle of pain and despair, Emperor Jingwen gradually became calmer than ever before.
However, just as the fish was hooked and he hadn’t even pulled it up, someone grabbed his arm. Then he heard the familiar voice of his youngest son.
He seemed particularly excited today.
“Dad! Tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a wedding ceremony for me right away!”
Emperor Jingwen’s hand trembled, and the fish on the hook broke free instantly, then shook its tail and disappeared completely.
Emperor Jingwen: “…”
This was the first fish he caught today.
Emperor Jingwen resisted the urge to curse, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and then turned to look at him: “You didn’t answer me at that time, I thought you were unhappy.”
“Yes, yes. How could I not be willing? But this is such a big deal, shouldn’t I think about it carefully?”
The main thing is that Yao Zhi might not agree at that time…
Emperor Jingwen always felt that it was not what he said, but he did not care and just asked: “Have you thought it through now?”
Ye Shuo nodded affirmatively: “Of course.”
“So Dad, please inform them as soon as possible.”
Perhaps it was because of the nephew’s reluctance to marry that people found it surprising. Prince Su at the side couldn’t help but put down the fishing rod in his hand and looked at the father and son with interest.
At this moment, Emperor Jingwen felt that his old face was about to be completely lost by his youngest son.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Can’t you see that your uncle and I are fishing here? It won’t be too late until the evening.”
As a man, how could he be so impatient?
Ye Shuo was thinking, what’s so good about catching these goldfish in the imperial garden? They have been fed silly by people every day, and they can’t wait to eat a handful of fish so that they jump onto the shore one by one.
These fish will not run away, but the girls in his palace may not be so lucky.
However, Ye Shuo didn’t dare to refute his cheap father at this time, otherwise, what if he changed his mind?
Ye Shuo had no choice but to move a stool and sit aside to watch the two of them fishing.
It is true that a son is no longer under the control of his father.
Unable to bear the pitiful look in his son’s eyes, Emperor Jingwen sighed. Prince Su was there too. After thinking for a while, Emperor Jingwen said, “I remember that there are many sons but few daughters in your palace. You always hoped to have a princess with Princess Su, but Iyouhave not been able to do so for so many years.”
Prince Su and Emperor Jingwen had been brothers for so many years, how could he not understand what he meant?
Although Prince Su’s mansion had no legitimate daughter, it had many concubine born daughters, so how could it lack daughters?
It was true that the emperor agreed to his nephew marrying a woman from the underworld, but he still had to raise her status a little, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the royal family.
It’s just one more daughter, it doesn’t matter.
So Prince Su said, “Even if my Royal Brother doesn’t want to talk about it, I will still mention it. The girl who saved my Royal Brother’s and several of my nephews’ lives must be a person of good character. I have discussed this with the Princess and wanted to adopt her as my adopted daughter. What do you think, my Royal Brother?”
Prince Su has become more and more reasonable in recent years.
This was exactly what Emperor Jingwen had in mind, so he naturally would not refuse. By the way, on the pretext of saving his life, Emperor Jingwen also conferred the title of county lord on Yao Zhi.
With such an identity, I believe those people should be able to shut up.
Yaoren Valley is too far away, and it is not good to ask a girl to marry from such a far place. Emperor Jingwen even specially granted a house so that when Huo Tianyi and his people came, they would have a place to live.
Emperor Jingwen took almost every aspect into consideration for Ye Shuo.
He didn’t have anything to do now anyway, so naturally he spent more time on this.
Back then, even the Crown Prince didn’t go through so much trouble to marry a Crown Princess. It seems that my brother is afraid that his son will suffer any injustice.
Prince Su, who had never seen this side of his brother before, couldn’t help but smack his lips.
This was indeed the case. Emperor Jingwen was not stupid. How could he not know that his youngest son would be slandered and ridiculed by many people after marrying a woman from the underworld? Only when he personally took charge would those people not dare to talk about them behind their backs.
It’s all the youngest son’s fault, he’s determined to marry that girl.
He is young and doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter, so I have to worry more about him.
Although Emperor Jingwen did not even help to draft the wedding ceremony, he asked Wang Ziquan to help oversee it, which was almost the same as if he were supervising it personally.
My royal brother has finally shown a kind fatherly heart.
Looking at his nephew who kept calling him “Dad” left and right, Prince Su laughed.
This child is not good at anything except sweet talk. Now that the crown prince is gone, it is a blessing to have a ninth prince to accompany his brother.
This kid is very brave and dares to say anything. They can never do or say what he does. Fortunately, my brother is not alone.
By the evening, Emperor Jingwen felt tired, and Ye Shuo hurriedly reached out to support him and led him back to his bedroom to rest.
The setting sun cast a layer of afterglow on the clouds, and the entire gravel road was dyed with a layer of warm colour by the setting sun, stretching the backs of the father and son very long. For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
But in the end, it is just an illusion. No matter what people do, they cannot keep time.
About half an incense stick later, the two figures disappeared, and Prince Su looked at the attendant beside him.
“Pack up, it’s time for us to go back.”
It is one idea to have Prince Su as the brother of Emperor Jingwen, but it is naturally another idea to have the Sixth Prince and others as his sons.
Although they have long been accustomed to their father’s preference for Xiaojiu over the years, every time something happens, their father can still enhance their understanding.
Even in an ordinary family, there is no father who would take care of everything for his son, no matter how big or small, right?
If Xiaojiu gave birth to a child, he would have to take the child to the palace to raise him. After all, in his father’s eyes, how could Xiaojiu raise a child?
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. With his way of raising a child, it would be fine for a child of a few years old, but if it was only a baby of a few months old, he would probably kill it.
But while they were envious, the brothers couldn’t help but completely let down their guard against him.
Marrying a chivalrous woman sounded inappropriate. The Fifth Prince and his companions had never even thought about it. However, Xiao Jiu not only thought about it, he also did it.
Did he really have no desire for that position?
There was actually such a weirdo among the princes.
The fifth prince felt that he might never understand what was going on in his brother’s head. The most important thing was that his father actually agreed.
For a moment, the Fifth Prince and his brothers could not tell whether their father wanted him to get better or not.
But even if the emperor agrees, the imperial concubine won’t be happy, right?
The Imperial Concubine’s temperament might be similar to that of the girl surnamed Yao, but their backgrounds were too different. The Imperial Concubine used to look down on everyone. She even looked down on the Queen. How could she really like a Jianghu girl?
With the Imperial Concubine’s temperament, she would probably make a scene.
Let’s see if Xiaojiu can still relax this time.
Just as the Fifth Prince and the other brothers thought, after learning the news, the Imperial Concubine quickly summoned Yao Zhi into the palace.
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, how could the imperial concubine not meet her in advance?
After the nanny who delivered the message left, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
She didn’t think she was inferior to Ye Shuo. It was just that since she liked Ye Shuo, it was natural for her to hope that Ye Shuo’s mother would like her.
The next day, the Sixth Prince thought about it and finally asked his princess consort to go to Qiuwu Palace to take a look under the pretext of paying respects. In case a conflict really occurred, the princess consort could be there to mediate.
When the Imperial Concubine saw Yao Zhi, her first words stunned the Sixth Prince’s wife.
I only heard the Imperial Concubine ask: “Can you tell me why you like my son?”
Huh? This tone doesn’t sound like dissatisfaction.
