Chapter 24: The Protégé of the Son of Heaven
The emperor traveled, was escorted by the forbidden army, and served by the eunuchs, and came to the Ye Wangfu.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" Except for Ye Wang Ye and Ye Guifei, the rest of the people knelt down.
"No need to be polite, today is a family feast, let's be flat. A warm voice sounded, and then an elegant middle-aged man came down from the luxurious sedan chair, which was His Majesty Qin II.
After Ye Sheng stood up, he looked up and found that Qin II's temperament was more like a scholar, which was very different from the emperor he imagined.
"Please also invite Your Majesty into the palace. Ye Wang Ye said.
"Okay, you're all waiting outside, and I'm going to accompany me into the house. Qin II said with a smile.
"Wow!" said the minions.
"Gan Yue, I didn't expect Your Majesty to recruit you after all. "Lord Ye is staring at the person beside Qin II.
Ye Sheng also looked over quietly, it was a person with no sense of existence, holding a long sword in his arms, and staying in the shadow of Qin II without saying a word.
"Your Majesty has recruited me several times, and I am full of sincerity, and I entered Xianyang alone and became His Majesty's guard. Gan Yue spoke, his voice hoarse, as if there was a blade rubbing, he was like an old man, his hair was gray, his face was very vicissitudes, but there was only one pair of hands, like the hands of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
"The prince has always said that it is not safe for me to leave Xianyang, so I recruited the world's number one swordsman as a guard. Qin II laughed.
"There is no need to worry about Your Majesty's safety, Weichen congratulates Your Majesty. Ye Wangye stared at Gan Yue and said softly.
"Okay, today is a family banquet, Mr. Gan Yue can protect His Majesty, so he should be seated, Your Majesty, please. Ye Guifei smiled, walked over and grabbed Qin II, and led him inside.
Ye Wang Ye also stretched out his hand and said, "Ganyue Sword Master, please." ”
Gan Yue nodded, did not speak, and followed His Majesty into the mansion.
......
The Yefu family banquet was very grand, held in the backyard of the Ye Mansion, and invited the famous opera troupe in Xianyang City to sing.
There are only Ye Wang Ye and the eldest lady, Ye Guifei and His Majesty, plus five people from Gan Yue, and the rest of the people have to go to the banquet next door.
"Twelfth brother, you stay here. Just when everyone retired and went to the banquet next door, Ye Guifei suddenly spoke.
Ye Sheng didn't have anything to say when he heard this, but the rest of the people were unbalanced in their hearts, especially Ye Qing, who was so jealous that he stared at Ye Sheng, his eyes were very complicated.
"Ye Sheng's status is low, how can he enter the banquet?" the eldest lady couldn't bear it anymore and said.
Ye Guifei glanced at her calmly and said, "I didn't say that Ye Sheng would be allowed to enter the banquet, did the eldest lady squeeze out the children in the mansion like this?"
The eldest lady's face changed, her hands clenched under the table, and the hatred in her heart turned over.
Concubine Ye didn't pay attention to her, but said to Qin II: "Your Majesty, this is your younger brother Ye Sheng, who the concubine often talks to you. ”
Qin II stared at Ye Sheng with interest, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be him, when you were in the palace, you said that you missed him, and when you saw him today, you really have an extraordinary appearance and a lofty temperament." ”
Hearing His Majesty praise Ye Sheng like this, Ye Qing's face was about to distort, his anger was like a green cow, and smoke was spewing out of his nose.
Hu Mei frowned on one side, stretched out his hand and twisted Ye Qing's waist, and Ye Qing looked at Hu Mei dissatisfiedly under the pain, he was in a bad mood.
Hu Mei glared at him with a sharp look, signaling Ye Qing not to make a mistake, this is not a place to make a mistake.
Only then did Ye Qing stop his crazy thoughts, but he just looked at Ye Sheng's back, becoming more and more unwilling.
Ye Sheng completely ignored Ye Qing's jealousy, and in the face of Qin II's praise, he spoke: "It is the blessing of the grass people to be remembered by His Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, I love this younger brother the most in the entire Ye Mansion, and I feel the most sorry for this younger brother, I went back to the house today, but I wanted to ask for something for Ye Sheng from Your Majesty. Ye Guifei smiled.
Qin II was not angry, but was quite interested: "What do you want for your younger brother?"
It wasn't just Qin II who was interested, the rest of the people were staring at Ye Guifei, including Ye Wangye, who frowned slightly, watched quietly, and didn't say a word.
"The protégé of the Son of Heaven. Ye Guifei's red lips opened lightly and said.
The rest of the Ye Mansion looked at Ye Guifei in surprise, the meaning of this Tianzi protégé is too much, Ye Guifei actually opened his mouth like this for Ye Sheng?
For a while, Ye Sheng received countless jealous glances.
Ye Wangye's eyes froze, and he said: "Ye Sheng has no fame, no talent, and he is not worthy of being a protégé of the Son of Heaven." ”
Ye Qing was about to explode with jealousy, but after listening to his father's words, he seemed to have found a place to vent, and his brain was hot: "Your Majesty, Ye Sheng is a recognized waste in Ye Mansion, and even martial arts are secretly learned, not systematic, and he can't afford to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven." ”
When Ye Qing said this, he only felt refreshed, and looked at Ye Sheng proudly, how could he not let Ye Sheng become a protégé of the Son of Heaven.
But all he was greeted by Ye Sheng's disdainful eyes.
Ye Qing was stunned, and immediately looked around, only to see Hu Mei's pretty face black and terrifying, and a pair of eyes like arrows shot Ye Qing's heart.
Looking at the main seat, Ye Guifei's face was pale, her eyes were like looking at a dead person, without emotion, and everyone could see Ye Guifei's anger at the moment.
On Ye Guifei's side, Ye Wangye's face was unswerving, looking at Ye Qing like a fool.
Ye Qing's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he vaguely felt as if he had made a big mistake.
"Ye Qing, Your Majesty is here again today, you, as my younger brother, insulted me, but I have to defend myself. Ye Sheng saw that everyone's faces were unswerving, and he said after a moment of silence.
After Ye Qing saw Ye Sheng, who was as rich as jade and had an extraordinary temperament, he felt irritable for no reason, and sneered: "What is there to justify, my father doesn't allow you to practice martial arts, you don't listen to orders, you secretly learn martial arts, this year is sixteen, and your cultivation is only the day after tomorrow, how can you be a protégé of the Son of Heaven?"
"First, my father didn't allow me to learn martial arts, because of my father's considerations. ”
"Second, my martial arts were taught to me by my eldest sister before she entered the palace, not by stealing. ”
"Third, in the three years that my eldest sister entered the palace, I practiced martial arts carefully, without being discovered, without any resources, and reached the triple heaven of the day after tomorrow, the difficulty of which can be imagined. ”
"Fourth, you Ye Qing have practiced martial arts since childhood, and you already have the strength of the six heavens after tomorrow, but in my eyes, it's just that, I want to defeat you, it's as easy as a hand. ”
Ye Sheng was reasonable, one by one, and the eyes of Ye Guifei on the main throne lit up.
"The twelfth brother said it well. Ye Guifei smiled and applauded Ye Sheng.
At this moment, everyone can see that Ye Guifei is determined to protect Ye Sheng, even Ye Wangye looked at Ye Guifei in surprise, but he didn't expect the love between them to be so deep.
Now that this farce has arrived, Qin II basically understands it, and said with a smile: "Lord Ye, it seems that you are not in harmony in this mansion." ”
Ye Wang Ye sighed and said: "Weichen is ashamed that he has neglected to discipline them all these years, so that he has made such a joke. ”
"It doesn't have to be like this, since Ye Sheng said that it is easy to defeat Ye Qing, then I will give you a chance, you have a fair duel, Ye Sheng won, the protégé of the Son of Heaven allows you, and the concubine wants to use this protégé of the Son of Heaven to help you do anything, I agree, but if you lose, then the proposal of the concubine, I can only refuse politely. Qin II said.
