"Your Majesty, the courtiers are married."

As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's words fell, many expected sighs had already sounded in the entire banquet hall.

It is no secret that Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici are concerned, and it is not the first time that the two of them have openly appeared in front of everyone to show their affection.

It's just that they were still beside no one's eyebrows, but the second prince will jump out and ask the emperor for marriage, which is much more surprising.

It's just that many of them began to doubt Fang Xiaoyu's eyes.

The second prince and Ye Xici, are they comparable?

In terms of appearance, the second prince is handsome, chic, gentle and elegant, although Ye Xici is not bad, but he always pulls an ice cube face, just like who owes him money and does not pay it back, one looks like a spring breeze, and the other looks disturbing, if you choose, most people will choose the second prince.

If you talk about family background, one is the son of the Son of Heaven, who is extremely favored by the emperor, and the other is also the son of the prince, but his father does not care about his mother and dies early, and even a side concubine can show off his power on his head for many years. has no real power in his hands, although he is loved by the emperor, but after all, it is not as heavy as the favor of the second prince, and even the position of the prince can be as long as it is not known.

When it comes to pampering. The second prince needs Fang Jianzhang's support, I'm afraid that even if it is for Fang Jianzhang's sake, if Fang Xiaoyu marries into Prince Gong's mansion, he will never be treated coldly. On the other hand, Ye Xici seems to really like this smile, but he can't protect himself in King An's Mansion, can he really protect his woman?

Although the emperor disclosed Fang Xiaoyu's identity as a 'Buddha girl', there are not many people who believe it, they know the power behind Fang Xiaoyu, they know that no one can bully her even if she doesn't rely on men, and there are even fewer people who know that she has already laid down Su Hongsu's chess piece in King An's Mansion. In their opinion, Fang Xiaoyu obviously gave up a more superior life and chose to share the hardships with Ye Xiqi. Of course, there are envy of Ye Xi's resignation to marry a strange woman who doesn't love all wealth and only grows old with her white head, but more people will think that Fang Xiaoyu has been kicked in the brain by a donkey, and her spirit is obviously abnormal.

And even if you don't look down on the second prince. If you don't want to marry him, it's just a matter of refusing tactfully, but making things so stiff is tantamount to offending the second prince. Why is this all the trouble?

Some people saw the relaxed posture of the prince sitting on the stage as if he hadn't seen anything, and they began to wonder if Fang Xiaoyu was showing loyalty to the prince by completely offending the second prince? I didn't see that the smile on the queen's face was getting worse and worse at this moment, did she glance at Fang Xiaoyu's gaze full of appreciation and comfort.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't know that someone had already guessed countless possibilities at this moment. Even if you knew, you could only say that you were thinking too much.

The reason why she chose Ye Xici instead of Ye Shucheng was because she married Ye Shucheng in her previous life. He knows better than anyone what kind of virtue Ye Shucheng is. Reborn in this life, although she didn't want to deliberately take revenge, she didn't mind revenge if she could take revenge, anyway, no matter how Ye Shucheng's face looked like it, sometimes she couldn't control the fist she wanted to swing. Fortunately, she has strong self-control, and she is really well cultivated.

And chose Ye Xici because she could see his liking for her from Ye Xici's every move. It's not because of status and power, it's not because of the looks, maybe it's just a little grateful at first, but that's not important. At least Ye Xici is willing to accommodate her and love her, and is willing to use all his net worth to propose marriage to her, which is a thousand times better than Ye Shucheng, who approached her with an obvious purpose of exploitation.

There is another point that is also crucial. Marrying Ye Shucheng, once you can't go on, it will be very difficult to leave, after all, it is a prince, and it is a matter of royal face. She is also a quick temper, she can't stand those grievances, if she accidentally makes herself widowed, the emperor will have to spend a lot of trouble to cover it up, right?

Ye Xici is different. If he dared to bully her. Widows are widowed to you every minute. When the time comes, push the charge on the head of King An or Li Suqing, look, how perfect.

Thanks to Ye Xici, he didn't know Fang Xiaoyu's messy thoughts, otherwise he would have cried to death in the moat outside the city every minute.

But in any case. Fang Xiaoyu said categorically, 'I'm married', and the matter seems to be settled.

The emperor's reaction was somewhat peculiar. The reason why Ye Shucheng asked the emperor for marriage in front of the ministers was because he took a fancy to the words 'royal face'.

Men are unmarried, women are unmarried. As a dignified son, he fell in love with the daughter of a courtier, and was willing to ask for marriage in front of everyone. has already given enough face to Fang Xiaoyu. Once rejected, not only will his face be dull as the second prince, but the royal face will be ruined in an instant, even if no one dares to say anything openly, he is afraid that he will inevitably discuss it behind his back.

Therefore, he chose such a method to 'courtship' at the moment, which was actually creating pressure on the emperor. Even if the emperor didn't have this idea before, under pressure, maybe he would have responded?

But who knew that the emperor would directly kick the ball to Fang Xiaoyu, and asked her if she was happy to marry, and she happened to meet Fang Xiaoyu such a strange thing, sweeping the prince's face is as simple as drinking water and eating, without saying a word, directly refusing, although the meaning of that sentence is also a little tactful, but who can't hear it, she is just saying, I don't think you Ye Shucheng is worthy of me!

The lethality of these words is undoubtedly huge, even if Ye Shucheng was prepared to be shirked in advance, but he never thought that he would be rejected in front of so many people.

In addition, Ye Xici jumped out to fight with him halfway, making the same request, and his father also kicked the ball on Fang Xiaoyu's body, but Fang Xiaoyu refused him more simply and decisively, 'I'm married' is simply **naked in his face.

Looking at the flash of provocation in Ye Xici's eyes when he looked at him, Ye Shucheng clenched his fists, and at this time he could hear the clucking sound of his fists clenched together.

This slut, she's forcing him to ruin her!

"Oh? Lord Deshan, what is there about my prince who is not as good as Xici, and the difference in your attitude before and after is so obvious? "The emperor has long known Fang Xiaoyu's choice, and her dealings with Xici have never avoided anyone. And at the beginning, when he knew that the other party was smiling and affectionate, he was also bent on matchmaking. Now that the two of them are really going to achieve positive results, he has a lot of credit for this.

It's just that he didn't expect Ye Shucheng to suddenly ask for marriage on such a day, although he knew early on that Shucheng had such an imperative for Fang Xiaoyu.

However, from Shucheng's expression, he couldn't see any trace of love in the other party's smile, which made him have to think. If there is no love, what is Shucheng going to marry Fang Xiaoyu for?

Ye Shucheng was in a monstrous rage, but he didn't see the trace of inquiry in the emperor's gaze looking at him.

But the emperor's gaze did not escape Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, and Fang Xiaoyu already had some conjectures in his heart. So he replied: "Back to the emperor, the second prince is handsome and elegant and generous, and there are many daughters of families who want to marry him, but the second prince's handsome appearance is really not in line with the aesthetics of the courtiers." ”

The emperor was stunned, what is this answer? What woman doesn't love a handsome man? Even if it's an excuse to shirk. You should always find someone who can convince people, is it possible that he still likes the long ugly one?

"Why make excuses! If you don't like this king, will this king still be entangled? Instead of pushing a qiē on top of his appearance, could it be that Ye Xici is not handsome and chic? Ye Shucheng didn't set off with a fire in his belly, so he could only hold back. He can see that if he doesn't eat such oil and salt as a joke above, he will not be good!

Even if she is the general's daughter, there is no reason to prick her head like this, and Fang Xiaoyu's instinctive rejection and disgust every time she sees him makes him feel incomprehensible.

Do you really have to give up? He even did not hesitate to put pressure on his father with royal face. didn't expect to be beaten back by Fang Xiaoyu with a straight ball.

The other party said that he couldn't look down on him, could he, as a prince, still be forced to get married?

But Fang Xiaoyu explained it like this, blaming all the qiē on his appearance, but it seemed to be satirizing his self-inflicted amorousness.

Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici a few times seriously, frowned for a while, sighed for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "Your Royal Highness King Gong, I'm really sorry, the courtiers like the ugly ones on weekdays." You see that the prince of An is not good-looking. He always frowned and drooped his face, as if someone had stolen his money, and the courtiers liked to be so ugly. ”

Fang smiled and said a word, and half of the people present spit out the wine they had drunk. The remaining half are not drinking, and they are very individual and stylish at the moment.

The first of them is Ye Xici himself. He was standing quietly not far from Fang Xiaoyu at the moment, with a pair of eyes hooked and he didn't know what expression to make.

He remembered that Fang Xiaoyu had said that Ye Shu had grown ugly, and he also thought that this girl had a problem with her vision. Although he and Ye Shucheng are enemies, they all have to admit that Ye Shucheng's little white face is really handsome. So he was worried about whether his appearance would not be able to enter this girl's eyes. After all, he still has some confidence in his appearance.

But today, it has become Ye Shucheng handsome, and he looks ugly. Although he knew that Fang Xiaoyu was actually ridiculing and ridiculing Ye Shucheng when he said this. But in front of so many people, do you have to spoil him so badly? Ye Xici burst into tears.

Ye Shucheng would not believe Fang Xiaoyu's nonsense unless he was crazy, and this kind of serious nonsense could only deceive ignorant children.

Ye Xi is not good-looking? How ugly is Ye Xi's resignation? If he believes it, he should ask directly if you are blind!

What made Ye Shucheng most angry was that Fang Xiaoyu's seemingly foolish answer proved that she was deliberately squeezing him. Why is he handsome and unworthy of him, to put it bluntly, she is humiliating him in front of the ministers!

The atmosphere was tense for a while. Ye Shucheng's eyes were beating with angry killing intent, and Fang Xiaoyu did not show weakness and fought back one by one with a light and light attitude.

He really didn't understand why Fang Xiaoyu would rather humiliate him to death than the one he offended. Even if she didn't want to marry him, with Fang Xiaoyu's wisdom, it was not impossible to find a way to push him over without hurting her anger, but she chose to collide with him.

Ye Shucheng really laughed at the other party for the first time. Although he was teased and applauded by Fang Xiaoyu several times in the past, he felt that it was because he underestimated the enemy, so he tasted defeat, so at that time, although he hated Fang Xiaoyu to the core, he didn't really take her to heart.

But today, he suddenly had a feeling that everything was out of control, and that helplessness made him feel uneasy.

A woman who dares to directly collide with him at the banquet of the ministers, will such a woman really be a stupid woman who is big-chested and brainless and only knows how to solve problems with violence?

The biggest problem is that the confrontation between them is so needle-to-needle, and the father has no intention of stopping it.

And when Ye Xi resigned and asked for marriage, his father's attitude was obviously supportive.

In other words, the father was willing to marry Fang Xiaoyu to Ye Xici.

Why?

Think of it this way. Ye Xici is the prince's right-hand man, and Fang Xiaoyu's marriage to Ye Xici is equivalent to planning Fang Jianzhang to the prince's camp.

Ye Shucheng's face became more and more gloomy, father, you are so partial!

At this moment, it is impossible to force Fang Xiaoyu to marry. Perhaps his recklessness tonight had made his father suspicious of him. He has always been an indisputable good boy in front of his father. Now that I can't wait to ask to marry Fang Xiaoyu, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

But just watching Fang Xiaoyu with Fang Jianzhang's support throw himself into Ye Xici's arms, or the arms of the crown prince, he couldn't feel reconciled.

Suddenly, he quickly glanced at Ye Xici as if he remembered something. Immediately, the corners of his mouth raised a sinister arc, and the other party said with a smile: "You have no intention of this king, and this king is not easy to force." It's just that this king also likes you, so you might as well give you a reminder, lest you regret it in the future. ”

The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's eyes jumped, and he had a hunch that Ye Shucheng was not a good thing, and what he said would naturally not be a good thing.

Sure enough, Ye Shucheng put on the gentle and elegant mask that was disguised in front of people, and said with a smile: "Fang Xiaoyu, it's okay if you don't look down on this king." It's just that Ye Xi quits, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry. ”

"It's just a matter of the courtiers, and the courtiers are free to plan." Fang Xiaoyu sneered.

"Advice is against ear. If you don't listen, you'll regret it in the future. Ye Shucheng also sneered, his eyes swept over Ye Xici's body from time to time, and continued: "Now you are fascinated by his illusion, and you are willing to be fascinated by him, but Fang Xiaoyu, do you know how much dirt will be hidden under that beautiful skin?" ”

Ye Shucheng's words were not concealed, and everyone present could hear them clearly. Even the emperor frowned, not knowing what Ye Shucheng meant by this.

Only Ye Xici's face was full of anger, and his nails pinched his palms fiercely, trying to keep his senses in pain.

He looked at Fang Xiaoyu's puzzled gaze. All of a sudden, it was as cold as winter ice. And the fear and powerlessness in his heart began to slowly eat away at his reason.

It's been a secret for a long time...... Ye Shucheng, why would he know!

Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici's sudden wrongness, and her heart suddenly flashed with what the fifth prince had said to her.

"What do you like about him? Position of power? Skin-like white bones? Or is it glory and wealth? ”

"Do you really know Ye Xici? Do you really understand the real bottomless darkness hidden deep inside him? ”

"When you know the truth, are you really willing to stand by his side, hold his hand, and always support him and trust him?"

Those words are still in my ears. She asked herself that question again and again. But what is the answer?

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly laughed.

She was a different woman from ordinary people. She has lived a life that has been richer than anyone else's.

She never thought that she could find any confidants, and she would know each other for a lifetime, and agreed to marry Ye Xici, in addition to liking it, she also had some other considerations.

So what are you afraid of? Even if the so-called darkness and truth are cruel one day, how cruel can it be?

Compared with Ye Shucheng, who has bad intentions, at least now, she is more willing to believe in the person who has always been good to him.

No matter how dark the secret is hidden in that person.

Fang Xiaoyu walked to Ye Xici's side with a smile and held his somewhat trembling hand, which was already covered with sweat, showing that Ye Xici's condition was really poor.

"Ask the emperor for marriage." Fang Xiaoyu pulled Ye Xici to bow to the emperor, these five words were said categorically, without a trace of hesitation.

Feeling that his thoughts had returned to his body, Ye Xici looked at Fang Xiaoyu's firm side face, and his heart was embraced by a huge warmth.

But in her heart, she was also really worried, one day, when she knew the secret he had been trying to hide, would she forgive him? Will you still take his hand and stand firmly by his side as you do now?

Ye Xici lowered his head and was silent, no one saw the murderous intent that was about to overflow in his eyes.

Ye Shucheng...... Ye Shucheng! You're forcing me to kill you! (To be continued.) )
