"You have a very prejudiced view of Princess Beixuan. On the way back to the theater, Yelan said to Yefan.

Ye Fan frowned, "It's not, I just hate people related to Ye Shu." ”

Yelan smiled rarely, "As the saying goes, love the house and Wu, so what should you call it?"

"Fourth brother. Ye Fan stared at Ye Lan for a long time, "I think you seem to be in a particularly good mood today, it's rare to see you joking." ”

"Nope. "There is no wave path on Yelan's face.

"Okay. Ye Fan didn't catch anything unusual from his face, so he had to change the subject, "Ye Shu had an argument with the fourth brother when he was a child, and he fought, and then he fell into the pond and ran to his father to say that it was your responsibility, and you were punished to kneel for an afternoon, and you fell into a leg disease because of it." Ye Shu Yi Qiu raccoon dog, why didn't you let me say it when I mocked Ye Shu today. ”

"It's not like I forgot. Yelan said lightly, "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, it is always right to speak carefully, some things are good to keep in mind, and you don't have to express them with your mouth." ”

"My brother was taught. Ye Fan said to Ye Lan.

......

Back in Qinchun Garden, the plays of several princes have been performed. As expected, King Yi Yejie won the jackpot, and the "Mount Tai Feng Zen" he arranged won the heart of Emperor Zhaoning, and Emperor Zhaoning gave Yejie an additional night pearl of Ryukyu tribute. It doesn't matter what the reward is, the important thing is that the emperor is happy, and the future of the night is naturally bright.

Ye Fan and Ye Lan sat in their seats, and after a while, Lie Beiyao also walked in and sat beside Ye Shu, Ye Shu asked Lie Beiyao with a concerned expression, and the latter smiled to make him feel relieved.

"Fourth brother, someone seems to be watching you. Ye Fan whispered to Ye Lan, and there was an ambiguous taste between his words.

Yelan raised her eyes and looked, a pair of bright eyes on the opposite woman's seat were intersecting with his four eyes in the air, as if she noticed that there were eyes on the child's seat looking at her, the woman retracted her gaze shyly, her face was red, her head was lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Yelan's gaze.

That woman was of noble birth, and she was Xiao Changle, the daughter of Xiao Wanmian, the prime minister of the dynasty, and there were countless children of the family who pursued her fanatically, including many children of the royal family, such as Hao Wang Yexiu, King Jing Shizi Ye Nan, King Wu's second son Ye Feng, and even Gong Wang Ye Shu also pursued her, of course, most of these suitors came for her father's power. Xiao Changle was not interested in these hypocritical children of the family, but took a fancy to the unfavored Fourth Emperor Yelan, and his father Xiao Wanmian was ...... He didn't interfere, neither stopped nor encouraged, which made everyone puzzled, and it was not clear what the prime minister thought. Xiao Changle was very happy, she got her father's acquiescence, and began to boldly express her mind to Yelan, but Yelan's attitude was very vague, neither agreeing nor refusing, and her attitude towards Xiao Changle was also very normal, neither cold nor warm, which made those onlookers even more confused, and they really didn't understand how this pair developed.

Even as Yelan's closest brother, Ye Fan couldn't guess Yelan's thoughts, he asked Yelan in a low voice, "Fourth brother, do you mean that to Prime Minister Xiao's daughter?"

"Which means?" Yelan said lightly.

"This ...... It's not good to say it so bluntly. Ye Fan rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed.

"Then don't say it. Yelan replied lightly.

"Fourth brother, how can you be hot and cold, gentle for a while and cold for a while, it's really incomprehensible. Ye Fan looked at Ye Lan, and there was a hint of helplessness and ridicule in his tone.

Yelan ignored him and drank the glass of wine in front of him alone.

The wine was exhausted, the play was dispersed, Emperor Zhaoning got up from the dragon chair, the ministers and princes followed suit, Emperor Zhaoning was tired, and said to the courtiers below a little lazily, "I'm tired, you go first, I want to go back to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to rest for a while." ”

"The ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live. The courtiers spoke.

"Prime Minister, the banquet will be in charge of the whole situation for the time being, and I will be there later. ”

Prime Minister Xiao slept no more than forty, his hair and beard were thick and black, the whole person looked very energetic, and there was a trace of old-fashioned air between his eyebrows. He arched his hand unhurriedly, "The minister's decree, Your Majesty is tired of dealing with the government and politics, and you must take care of the dragon body." ”

Emperor Zhaoning bowed slightly, didn't say anything more, turned around and left from the main entrance, and the queen also left. The ministers were all relieved to see the emperor leave, Xiao Wanmian turned around and said lightly to the ministers, "Since the emperor has spoken, you will go to the Taiji Hall on your own." ”

The ministers arched their hands at Xiao Wanmian and said, "Obey what the prime minister said." Then he left from the side door in twos and threes. There were still a few princes in Yeshu Yeji who watched the ministers go first, but they stood there leisurely and did not move, Xiao Wanmian saw it and said, "What's the matter, aren't the highnesses leaving?"

Xiao Wanmian opened his mouth, Nan'an Wang Yejun did not hesitate, turned around and left, Chen Wang Yeyun glanced at his brother beside him - Yiwang Yejun, Yeyun hesitated for a moment, or left, Yeyun left with his brother. Now there are only Gongwang Yeshu, Guangwang Yelan, Qi Wang Yefan, and Prime Minister Xiao Wanmian in Qinchun Garden, Lie Beiyao was going to go to Taiji Hall with Ye Shu, but Ye Shu said that he had something to ask Xiao Wanmian, so he let Lie Beiyao take the first step.

"His Royal Highness King Gong, aren't you going to leave yet?" Xiao Wanmian said in a deep voice.

Ye Shu suddenly smiled, "The Prime Minister hasn't left yet, so Ye Shu is not in a hurry." ”

Ye Fan was upset when he saw him, and just as he was about to speak, he was grabbed by Ye Lan, and swallowed the words he was going to scold Ye Shu into his stomach.

Ye Lan suddenly spoke, as if to say to Ye Fan, and also seemed to be talking to herself, "Which do you say is more annoying to this stupid person or the troublesome person?"

"This ...... It's annoying. Yefan replied.

"And what if you take both?" Yelan said.

Ye Fan paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly, "That's really cheap." ”

"Yelan!" Ye Shu understood, and looked directly at Ye Lan angrily.

"His Royal Highness King Gong, what do I have to do with you when I talk to Ye Fan?" Ye Lan said lukewarmly.

"Innuendo, do you think I can't hear it?"

"Ye Shu, are you acquiescing?" Ye Fan laughed.

"Ye Fan, you!" Ye Shu clenched his fists, trying to restrain his emotions, and swallowed the unpleasant words.

"Your Royal Highness King Gong, manage your emotions. Yelan's tone was still light, but it sounded even more funny. Ye Shu couldn't bear to lose face, snorted coldly, and walked away angrily, Ye Fan saw Ye Shu's embarrassed look, and couldn't help laughing again, and when he stopped laughing, he glanced at Xiao Wanmian, who was standing aside without saying a word, and understood in his heart, and said to Ye Lan, "Fourth brother, I'll go to the Taiji Hall to wait for you first." ”

Yelan bowed slightly, Yefan nodded to Xiao Wanmian again, and left through the side door.

"Fourth Highness is looking for the old man?" Xiao Wanmian didn't look at Yelan, his voice was thick, and there was no emotion in it, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Isn't it the prime minister looking for me?" Yelan looked at the main entrance of Qinchun Garden, with his hands behind his back, his tone was as flat as ever, and his joy was not evident in it.

Xiao Wanmian suddenly smiled, "Your Highness is really different, including Your Majesty, no one will talk to the old man like this." ”

"That's really Yelan's honor. ”

"Does Your Highness know what the old man wants to say to His Highness?"

"I don't know. Yelan replied.

"The little girl Xiao Changle is very fond of His Royal Highness. Xiao Wanmian's tone suddenly changed.

"So what?" Yelan still didn't wave.

"I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Xiao Wanmian suddenly became interested in the unfavored prince in front of him, he was always waiting for himself to speak, to put himself on the initiative, and to make the opponent passive, even if he had been in the court for a long time, had seen all kinds of people, and experienced all kinds of things, he could be led by him.

"Xiao Xiang intends to marry my daughter to me, that's really my luck. Yelan turned around and her gaze fell on Xiao Wanmian's deep face.

The old man did not say that he would give his daughter to His Highness. Xiao Wanmian said quietly.

"Doesn't Xiao Xiang's actions explain it?" Yelan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Changle is in love with me, and everyone knows about it. I was an unfavored prince, and my biological mother only agreed, and died soon after giving birth to me. Such a down-and-out prince who doesn't care about his uncle and uncle, let alone the prime minister's daughter, is a third-grade official, I'm afraid he won't agree to give his daughter to me. And what about you, Xiao Xiang? Although you did not show support or opposition on the surface, this vague attitude is the best evidence, and your intention to keep me today is enough to explain everything—you acquiesced in the promise of Changle to me. ”

Xiao Wanmian's face was calm, and he didn't make any moves because of Yelan's words, "The old man is just tired, and he wants to rest for a while in this quiet place where no one is quiet, what words do you have to prove that I want to stay with Your Highness?"

Yelan suddenly laughed, "Otherwise, why did you drive Ye Shu away, I think he probably understood what the prime minister meant, so he wanted to stop me just now, did you say that I was right?"

After listening to Ye Lan's words, Xiao Wanmian suddenly laughed, and his face changed from serious just now to relaxed, "The old man didn't know the wrong person, His Royal Highness is really not comparable to an ordinary prince." ”

"Xiao Xiangzai, Yelan has also gained a lot from you. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Wanmian looked at him.

Yelan smiled, "Xiao Xiang can sit in this position today, his vision is naturally different from ordinary people, ordinary people are not optimistic about me as a prince, and Xiao Xiang is willing to bet on me, which is really different." ”

Xiao Wanmian touched his beard and smiled, "Sitting in this position now, I am naturally bolder." ”

"What else does Xiao Xiang want to say to me?" Ye Lan observed the words, and could tell from Xiao Wanmian's eyebrows that he still had something to say.

Xiao Wanmian smiled again, "His Royal Highness the King of Light is really smart, and the old man does have something to mention His Highness." ”

"Please. ”

"Your Majesty has married Princess Beixuan to His Royal Highness King Gong, and the implication is self-evident, His Royal Highness should make some preparations. ”

"Adapting to change is my way of doing things. There was a hint of depth in Yelan's eyes, Xiao Wanmian touched his beard again, the corners of his mouth outlined a curvature, and he left with a word.

"The Chosen One, His Royal Highness the King of Light, the old man's treasure seems to be right. ”
