Chapter 174
This was the first time that Princess Liuzhu saw her after the imperial edict was issued.
As soon as they met, Princess Liu Zhu took the lead and said, "Tell me honestly, have you and Pei Xiaojiu known each other long ago?"
"Hmm?" Ye Kui was a little stunned, and the pages in her hand were turned rustling, "Why did Aunt San ask like this?"
Princess Liu Zhu looked at her, walked over and sat down beside her, waved her hands at Qin Sang and asked them to go down first. Qin Sang knew about the past. Seeing that Princess Liu Zhu seemed to be talking to Ye Kui in private, she couldn't help feeling uneasy, and subconsciously looked at Ye Kui. Ye Kui only blinked at her, shook her head slightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Qin Sang had no choice but to go out and bring it to the door.
The room suddenly became quiet.
When there was no one, Princess Liu Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, cleared her throat and said, "Why can you not know when I ask this? My father suddenly issued such an imperial edict at the forefront of the storm. It can be seen that it was a sudden decision. Now that Concubine Pei wants me to go to the palace to speak, I will ask you something. This means that even Concubine Pei doesn't know about this. If Pei Xiaojiu had not gone to find her father himself, I wouldn't believe it."
When Ye Kui heard this, she couldn't help but close the book in her hand.
She always thought that Princess Liu Zhu had a weak look at things, otherwise she shouldn't have married Ye Chongwu, but should have found a way to choose a person who can make her future stable. But now it seems that Princess Liu Zhu is not unaware of those plans. Could she really fall in love with Ye Chongwu?
Ye Kui muttered in her heart: The speed of changing one's heart is too fast...
But no matter what, Princess Zhu did make the analysis right this time. Pei Xiaojiu made the decision privately and asked the emperor for hiding it from everyone. She even realized that there was such a thing at the moment of receiving the imperial edict, let alone others.
"I have known Pei Changge for many years." Ye Kui had no intention of hiding Princess Liu Zhu. Since someone is willing to treat you well, there is no need to hide those irrelevant things.
Even if everyone knows what can it do? She was only seven years old when they met, and Pei Changge was ten years old. At this age, would anyone say that they were privately taught each other? What's more, what can they do if they say it! No matter how much her reputation is, it won't be worse.
"I've known each other for many years?" Princess Liu Zhu asked in surprise, "I guess you've known each other for a long time, but for many years... No, didn't you just returned to Fengcheng last spring?"
She is about the same age as Pei Xiaojiu and has known each other since childhood. If he had known Ye Kui for a long time, how could she have never known it?
Ye Kui said seriously: "Of course, before we get to know each other and return to Fengcheng."
Princess Liu Zhu became more and more surprised.
Pei Changge was thrown to Xishan Camp by the Marquis of Yong'an when he was eleven years old. He returned to the Pei family since he was fifteen years old, and then led his troops to fight. At that time, there was no second lady in the Ye family. In this way, these two people had already met before Pei Changge went to Xishan Camp at the age of eleven?
At that time, Ye Kui was still in the countryside of Hongdu!
"Ah, I remembered it!" Princess Liu Zhu exclaimed softly, "I hadn't seen him for a whole year when I was nine years old! Yes, Concubine Pei was even more depressed during that period. Even if her father gave her something, she just forced a smile. Could it be that Pei Xiaojiu's bastard was not in Fengcheng at that time?!"
Ye Kui was happy and Princess Liu Zhu’s analytical ability.
After so many years of incidents, she only said one sentence, and Princess Liu Zhu could remember everything, connect everything, and get the answer she wanted.
She smiled faintly and said, "That's true."
Princess Liu Zhu got a clear answer, and suddenly became lost and said silly: "So that's the case... At that time, you were not the second lady of the Ye family, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the ninth master of the Pei family..."
Ye Kui suddenly put his hand on the back of her hand, looked at her eyes and said seriously: "Aunt San, are you willing to marry into the Ye family because of Uncle Huanxi or just because the emperor is asking for marriage?"
"Me?" A red cloud appeared on Princess Liu Zhu's face and said, "Have you never heard of this marriage? I personally went to ask my father for this marriage?"
Ye Kui was slightly stunned and blurted out: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Princess Liu Zhu nodded and said, "It's you, since you have known Pei Xiaojiu for many years, I don't have to worry about this."
The fingertips were slightly cold, Ye Kui withdrew her hand, feeling a little emotional and at a loss. She remembered what she suddenly said when Pei Changge was about to leave. At this moment, she only felt as if she was possessed by a ghost at that time, otherwise how could she suddenly say such words?
It was like living for decades in vain.
She tried her best to convince herself that everything was just because marrying Pei Changge was just right. Not only could she take the opportunity to block the mouth and heart of the Ye family, but she could also avoid the trouble of not knowing who to marry. Also, if she married into the Pei family, Yancao could also join the Pei family. Everything seemed to be the best. She had not seen the second wife of the Pei family before. Some people just need to meet each other and you could know what kind of person she was. All of this was more beneficial than disadvantages to her, so why didn't she marry?
Marriage is also a game. She first stabilized her heart in this game so that she would not lose beyond recognition.
So, she had made up her mind to confirm the marriage.
What's more, how could she not feel happy if she could make a lot of people feel uncomfortable?
Seeing that she was silent, Princess Liu Zhu thought she would be shy, so she couldn't help laughing. She put her arms around Ye Kui's thin shoulders and said, "Concubine Pei, I'll say it myself. I'm just like a mirror in my heart. Just don't worry." After that, she suddenly pinched Ye Kui's arms, "How can she be so thin? Eat a few more bowls of rice before she got married. The people of the Pei family are afraid that you can't even eat at that time!"
With both comfort and scare, Ye Kui finally couldn't help laughing.
Speaking of which, Princess Liu Zhu's personality is indeed too romantic for the children of the imperial family.
"Okay, OK, I'll go first. You can rest." Princess Liuzhu let go of her and stood up to call people in.
Ye Kui leaned on the couch, looked at the aunt who was only two years older than him in front of her, and suddenly said, "Aunt San, thank you."
Princess Liu Zhu was slightly stunned, turned her head to look at her, smiling like a flower, "You should thank me!"
Ye Kui also laughed, and the depression that had been suffocating some time ago suddenly disappeared. There was a smile on the banquet, but Ye Mingyan was really sad and misty.
The best medicine was used on the broken mouth on his shoulder, and the silver was spent like flowing water, and her wounds gradually worsened and deteriorated. Yang had been guarding for a few days and had gone to find He to practice Tai Chi. Ye Chongheng had even since this happened. He had never looked at him now. Ye Mingle, who was younger sister, only followed Yang for a few days, and then he began to have nightmares every night. From time to time, he dreamed that Ye Kui was holding a sword to chop her. His face was so scared that he was pale, which was not as good as Ye Mingyan on the sickbed.
There was a person who no one expected to always stay by Ye Mingyan's bed.
That person is Ye Kui's younger brother Ye Shu.
When Yang saw him coming for the first time, he felt that he was not at ease, but when he thought that this would be more irritable than Ye Kui, he simply ignored it.
But no one expected that Ye Shu would come and visit Ye Mingyan on time every day without any resistance. He didn't know that Ye Mingyan was his relative's sister and the son of the eldest wife! The servants at home were whispering and guessing that the third young master was kind-hearted, and seeing that his sister did not repent, he would instead atone for his sins.
But Ye Mingyan knew in his heart that Ye Shu thought that she was not for Ye Kui.
Now he was afraid that Ye Kui would not have time, so why would he think about apologizing for her?
Every day, it was just that the skills she had done before were not in vain. She saw all the methods Ye Zhao had done at the beginning. It was too easy to get rid of Ye Shu and Ye Kui. Now she tried it casually, and it was like a fish in water, without any effort. Unfortunately, Ye Kui's heart seemed to be getting colder and harder. She couldn't tell whether this younger brother still had weight in her eyes and how much weight he had.
But no matter what, Ye Shu was like a small gluttony fish, chasing her casual care and love that she had sprinkled out, and she tried her best to "swim" over.
Ye Mingyan lay quietly on the bed, turned her face to look at Ye Shu who was sitting on the little steak beside the bed and was peeling fruit for her.
As she looked, her eyes became colder.
Do you want to give it a try?
Try whether this child still has a place in Ye Kui's heart, and whether he still has the use of keeping him? But what level should he do to be effective? Ye Mingyan looked at the willow-leaf knife in Ye Shu's hand, and his mind turned on.
The sleeves on the right were empty, as if reminding her not to act rashly.
He was just a maid. Ye Kui dared to rush to her with a sword like crazy, and she actually dared to chop down. She was simply a complete madman!
It was obviously a small white flower that was weak on the outside but was poisonous. Now it has become a monster flower that is poisonous on the inside and outside?
She had to think carefully.
Now she can’t die, she must not die! How can she die without revenge!
You can't just kill Ye Kui so easily. It's too cheap to die... She suffers from suffering, of course she needs to live to suffer... I'm afraid Ye Kui has such thoughts in her heart, right? That's why she will save her life and live in the world.
"Sister, have you heard of it?" Ye Shu peeled the fruit and suddenly looked up at her.
Ye Mingyan's face was pale and his voice was as pale as his face, "What's the matter?"
Ye Shu paused in his hand and said, "Sister is accused of getting married."
"What?" Ye Mingyan suddenly screamed, "Pointing marriage? Who is it? Is it..." When she was about to ask the man's name, she stopped and looked at Ye Shu with a quiet look.
Ye Shu thought she was unhappy because she thought that she might not be able to find a good son-in-law for the rest of her life, so she didn't think much about it and said, "It's Pei Changge, the ninth son of Marquis Yong'an."
"How could it be him..." Ye Mingyan frowned in confusion and murmured.
