Seeing that he was about to get angry again, Ye Jiayao nuzzled into his arms and said delicately: "Chunyu, I'm so tired..."
Unfortunately, being coquettish didn't work this time.
Xia Chunyu warned sternly with a straight face: "You'd better get rid of these ridiculous ideas. I can let you do everything else, but don't even think about it. If you dare to cheat on me, I will I will definitely kill you with my own hands."
His hands went down and clasped her slender neck, as if with just a little force, her neck would be broken.
When he becomes serious, he has a formidable pressure that is terrifying.
Ye Jiayao looked at him faintly: "What about you? Will you marry Liuli? Or, another woman."
Xia Chunyu's eyes darkened, he hesitated for a moment, but said, "I don't want to marry anyone else."
What he said was that he didn't want to, not that he wouldn't. Ye Jiayao felt sad. He didn't want to, but his identity meant that he couldn't help it.
Seeing the light in her eyes dimming little by little, Xia Chunyu felt guilty in his heart. He really wanted to make a promise to her, but this matter was not just what he wanted. If she could not care about her status, it would be much easier to handle. , but he knew that she cared about this very much, and he didn't want to wrong her. This added a lot of difficulties, and he needed to plan and overcome them step by step.
Yaoyao, give me time and wait patiently, I will work hard to achieve our wishes.
"I'm hungry, tired and hungry." Ye Jiayao said numbly.
"Okay, I'll take you home." Xia Chunyu sat up and whistled, and the big black man ran back in a hurry.
By the time we got back to Aunt Jiang's house, it was already dark.
The door was open. Song Qi and Jiang Li were sitting at the door waiting. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, Song Qi jumped up and ran over, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the third young master and his wife have been announced to the palace. We have gone, along with Prince Jing and Princess Yide. The Queen Mother also announced you, and the younger one has brought all the court uniforms."
Ye Jiayao's heart skipped a beat. Did Liuli file a complaint with the Queen Mother? Is the Queen Mother planning to raise an army to hold people accountable
Ye Jiayao looked at Chunyu worriedly. Xia Chunyu helped her dismount and comforted her: "It's okay. You have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"How could it be okay?" Ye Jiayao didn't believe it. In fact, she had such concerns before the plan was implemented. She guessed that Liuli herself was embarrassed to be ugly, so she could only knock out her teeth and swallow them alive, but she didn't expect Chunyu to come. She teased Liuli and Chunyu scolding Liuli are completely different in nature. The latter is much more serious. No one can bear to be scolded in public by the man he is about to marry.
"I said it's okay, it's okay. Don't you believe me?" Xia Chunyu smiled calmly.
Ye Jiayao was still worried: "Why don't you take me into the palace and I will plead guilty."
Xia Chunyu gave her a slap in the face: "What are you talking about? Do you have any brains left? Don't worry, the Queen Mother will not do anything to us. At most, she will only scold us."
"Jiang Li, ask your mother to make something for Madam. She hasn't eaten yet. Song Qi, let's go." Xia Chunyu ordered, jumped on the horse and left.
Ye Jiayao was stunned. What did he just say? lady? He actually said Madam himself
When Xia Chunyu came out of the alley, he scolded Song Qi: "What did you do? Can you say such a thing in front of my wife?"
Yaoyao was so frightened that her face turned blue.
Song Qi sneered and slapped himself: "Young man is careless, he deserves to die."
Xia Chunyu glared at him: "Forget it, tell me what the situation is now."
"I don't even know. Half an hour ago, a decree came from the palace, Madam, you and the third young master came to the palace. It was the third young master who said that you and Miss Ye..."
"No, Madam left together. I'll just run here and wait for you." Song Qi quickly changed his words. It seems that this time the turmoil made the prince and Miss Ye reconcile.
"The third young master said he would take care of the matter."
"That's ridiculous. He's got this ability." Xia Chunyu snorted, clamping his legs together and urging the big black horse to speed up.
In Ninghe Palace, the Queen Mother took her seat solemnly, looking majestically at He Lianjing and Xia Chunfeng who were kneeling in the hall.
Princess Yide and Xia Yousi sat aside uneasily. They were not very clear about what happened. They only knew that their son had gotten into trouble.
"Tell me, whose idea was this?" The Queen Mother was very angry and shouted coldly.
Today, the emperor sent mare's milk grapes as tribute from the Western Regions. She ordered someone to send Liuli to taste them. The palace maid came back and reported that Liuli was not feeling well and would not come. She was worried and asked the imperial doctor to go over and have a look. Who knows? The palace maids and eunuchs who came to the room were all kneeling on the ground and shivering, while Liuli was hiding in bed and crying. She had never seen Liuli so sad before, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Only then did she know that Liuli had been raped by a boy from the Helian family. The boys from the Xia family banded together to bully her, and they bullied her terribly.
This is really unreasonable.
He Lianjing and Xia Chunfeng made eye contact and said in unison: "It was Wei Chen's idea."
"No, it was Wei Chen's idea."
"No, it was Wei Chen's idea."
"It was obviously my idea."
"It was obviously my idea."
The two were at loggerheads, vying to take the blame.
"Shut up." The Queen Mother shouted angrily: "You two are so brave. You have been idle all day doing nothing. Now you dare to join forces with outsiders to bully Liuli?"
He Lianjing said: "Queen Mother, you can't listen to Liuli's words. It's obvious that she bullies others. We just stop her from bullying others."
"That's right, Liuli has always been the only one to bully others. Who dares to bully her!" Xia Chunfeng agreed.
"Here, what is going on? Xiao Jing, please speak up and make it clear. The Queen Mother will make her own decision." Princess Yide said.
Although Liuli is the Queen Mother's favorite, Xiao Jing is also her favorite. If Xiao Jing is right, she will definitely help her son.
"Yes, speak slowly. Everything cannot escape the word "reason", right?" Xia Youshi and Yide cooperated tacitly and used the word "reason" to silence the Queen Mother. When Liuli had a dispute with others, the Queen Mother had to protect them and ignore them. But if the matter falls on you, it doesn't matter.
The Queen Mother was upset and gave the two of them a cold look. They were very smart about their little thoughts. They wanted to protect their shortcomings, and they didn't even look at who their opponents were.
"He is just a bold and reckless cook, so what if Liuli teaches him a lesson? He dares to insult the princess, even if he is beaten with a stick, you actually dare to openly stand up for a cook, embarrass Liuli, and still dare to say that you are right ?”
"Liu Li's parents died early. The Ai family is the only one in the world who still pities her. If you don't pity her and don't let her go, you still dare to bully her. Are you treating the Ai family as dead people?" the Queen Mother asked sadly.
These words were so serious that both Yide and Xia Youshi were frightened. They quickly left their seats and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"And you, do you know how to protect your son and bully Liuli for not having parents? She has no parents, she has a family." The Queen Mother pointed at Yide and Xia Youshi and cursed.
The four people below did not dare to say anything. The Queen Mother made it clear that it was unreasonable to defend her shortcomings. So what else was there to say? Just accept the punishment.
"If Liuli's parents were still alive, Liuli wouldn't be what she is today." Xia Chunyu walked in.
He lifted up his clothes and knelt down next to Chunfeng. He said neither humble nor arrogantly: "What happened today was all Wei Chen's idea and has nothing to do with anyone else. But Wei Chen doesn't think he is at fault. If the Queen Mother must blame her, Wei Chen has nothing to say." Just accept the punishment. Anyway, Wei Chen is not the first person to be punished for Liuli, and he will not be the last one. If everyone can tolerate it, so can Wei Chen."
The Queen Mother originally admired Xia Chunyu very much, thinking that he was a rare young talent in the Huaisong Dynasty. He had outstanding appearance, extraordinary bearing, literary and military skills, and was a pillar of talent. She deliberately promised Liuli to him, but as a result, he had not married yet. He had been insulted in public, and now he dared to be so arrogant in front of her, which made her angry.
"If Liuli's parents were still alive, Liuli wouldn't be like this. Do you mean the Ai family spoiled her?" the Queen Mother said angrily.
Xia Chunyu calculated the time and came in. When he heard the slight footsteps behind him and knew that the emperor had arrived, he boldly said: "I don't dare. The queen mother is a well-known empress in the world. I thought that when the emperor died young, the young emperor would When the emperor ascended the throne, it was the Queen Mother who overcame all difficulties and devoted herself to assisting her, cultivating a generation of wise kings who were admired from all over the world and congratulated her. The Seven Princes were also praised by the whole court as the Seven Wise Kings, which is enough to prove the Queen Mother's virtuousness. Her name will remain in history and be praised by generations to come... "
When the Queen Mother heard what he said, she became a little more angry.
Xia Chunyu added: "The Queen Mother pities Liuli for losing her parents when she was young, and it is understandable that she loves her in every possible way. Just imagine that given the Queen Mother's virtue and proper education, Liuli will inevitably become a virtuous and virtuous woman and a model for women in the world. However, this is not the case. In this way, Wei Chen scolded Liuli today, not because he wanted to humiliate her, but because he hoped that she would understand that a person's dignity and pride are not obtained by being strong and bullying the weak, but by virtue of character and cultivation. Only by persuading others with virtue can one's dignity and pride be gained. To gain respect from others, isn’t this how the Queen Mother has always taught the prince and the harem?”
The Queen Mother was at a loss for words, no one had ever dared to say these words to her.
"It is precisely because the Queen Mother dotes on Liuli that everyone in the palace dotes on Liuli. Any slight disobedience is a crime of treason. Over time, Liuli will feel that everything she does is right, and she cannot distinguish between right and wrong, black and white..."
"Shut up, what qualifications do you have to say such things about Liuli? Even if Liuli is wrong, the Ai family will discipline them. When will it be your turn to speak nonsense?" The Queen Mother became angry. Xia Chunyu was accusing her of her incompetence in teaching every word, which made her angry. People can't bear it.
Xia Youshi winked at her son desperately, how dare he say these words, would he die
Xia Chunyu was not timid. What he did today was, firstly, to draw the Queen Mother's attention to him so as not to affect others. Secondly, to disobey the Queen Mother and offend the Queen Mother, maybe the Queen Mother would give up marrying Liuli to him. His idea was that he would lose his official position or get slapped with a few blows, it didn't matter. Then he said loudly: "It's time for the Queen Mother to discipline her, otherwise she won't be able to live in peace when the color of Liuli changes in Manjinling City and the Seven Wise Kings find out about her."
"Bold." The emperor walked in and scolded.
