Chapter 373: A Blessing or a Curse?
"It's been fine for a long time, but now the wound is just a little painful," Ye Yi gradually stroked his abdomen, the bandages wrapped there had long been removed, and his eyes became a little softer.
"Father, you don't know, although the injuries here are not fatal, but the other party's knife is smeared with poison, if it weren't for Junlan's antidote pill that saved my life, I might not be here at this time."
Ye Zhao looked at Ye Yichuan, the eyes of their father and son were the same gentle, but Ye Yijian was full of expectation, but Ye Zhao's eyes were full of distress and guilt.
"Do you really have to be her?" Ye Zhao asked.
Ye Yigradually raised his eyes and looked at Ye Zhao: "Yes." ”
"But she doesn't have you in her heart."
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly. Besides, isn't the current marriage all the words of the matchmaker of the parents? As long as I can ask the emperor to give her a decree to me, I believe that our former friendship, even if she has no love for me, she does not hate me, and we will live well as time goes by. ”
Ye Zhao pursed his lips and handed the letter to Ye Yichuan: "But she doesn't look down on you at all." ”
Ye Yi was stunned: "What is this?" ”
"After your grandmother knew your intentions, she thought about discussing with Chu Junlan and told her about your good intentions. But when she heard this, she flew into a rage, scolded you for being a daydream, and wrote a letter for your grandmother to bring to you...... Your grandmother cried angrily, and just fell asleep. ”
Ye Yigradually listened to Ye Zhao's words, looking at people who would not blink an eye when killing people on the battlefield, but at this time, his brows were tightly twisted into a pimple.
His face was pale, and his fingers trembled as he tore open the envelope, spreading a page of letter paper in the palm of his hand.
It was written in a handwriting that he knew all too well. I don't want a woman's words, but like a man's words, they are like iron and silver hooks, chic and public. He has a dozen such words, all of which were prescribed by Chu Junlan in the past......
Looking at the words above that were extremely humiliating, there was ruthlessness between the lines, and Ye Yiji's face turned from white to blue.
She wants to be a princess? Does she want a prestigious position?
Ye Yi was confused for a moment, but immediately shook his head and denied it.
Chu Junlan has such a chic temperament, how can he care about these people? If she really wants to marry, she must marry real love, not these false names. Take 10,000 steps back, if she really wants power and status, with Chu Junlan's ability, she can do everything she can to become the most noble woman in the Dayong Dynasty, with her beauty and talent, it is not difficult to enter the palace to be a mother.
Ye Yi gradually raised his head and looked at Ye Zhao's warm eyes, which were already bloodshot at this time.
"You asked her to write it?" Shaking the letterhead, "I don't believe she's such a person." ”
Ye Zhao sighed and said: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, not to mention that her mind is on Gongding Wang Shizi, gradually, why do you want to force it?" As he spoke, he took the letter and read its contents.
"I look down on you like this, and I do my best to humiliate you, it's better not to be such a woman."
Ye Yichuan's eyes were gradually wet: "Father, you have been gone for so many years, although I complain about you, after you came back, I understood you the fastest." I can understand you like that, put yourself in your shoes, why can't you think about it too?
"You forced Junlan to write such a letter to reject me, you know that I am proud and will never allow people to be humiliated, as long as she can ask for it, I will definitely do my best to do it, otherwise I will feel that I am not worthy of standing by her side, why do you still force me?"
"Gradually, don't get me wrong."
"I didn't misunderstand, you and your grandmother are for my good, I know, but I have made so many efforts to sharpen my head in the matter of Beiyuan, in order to have a bargaining chip to ask for marriage in front of the emperor. Father, can you bear to see me fall short? ”
Ye Yiyan closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes and fell to his cheeks: "She said this, how could I pull my face down to rely on her, if I can't give her the position of a princess, wouldn't I be sorry for your persecution?" ”
"Gradually......
"Your method of forcing me to move forward is really novel." Ye Yi gradually opened his eyes, his expression was full of resentment, and even his gentle and jade-like temperament became gloomy and depressed.
Looking at such a son, Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said faintly: "You and I are really father and son." ”
Ye Yi gradually looked at Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao lowered his eyes and said with a bitter expression: "At the beginning, I also admired a woman. But the woman rejected me for the same reason. ”
Ye Yi gradually looked at Ye Zhao in surprise: "Father...... Didn't you know my mother back then? ”
Ye Zhao didn't answer directly, but said: "Seeing that you are trapped by love now, you are really anxious for your father." ”
Ye Yigradually's attention was completely shifted to Ye Zhao's affairs back then, and even the father-son relationship that Fang Cai was still resentful of standing on the opposite side also became sympathy at this time.
"I don't want you to go my way. But there are some things that always have to be experienced by yourself, and people in this world, especially those with a status like you and me, are rarely able to marry their beloved, this is the reality, and it is also the rule that must be followed if you enjoy the status of compliance. ”
"So Father...... Do you love my mother? ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "After getting married, living together, how can you be completely indifferent in the face of a good woman?" It's just that it's the same love word, and the feeling is different. ”
Ye Zhao's honest answer made Ye Yi feel empathy for a while.
He was upset for his mother, but more than that, he understood. Just like now, if someone forcibly stuffs him with a wife, he may try his best to be good to his wife, and he may also fall in love for a long time, but the throbbing in his heart at the beginning will always be reserved for Chu Junlan.
Ye Zhao saw that Ye Yijian was finally at peace, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief: "Gradually, the coming day is long, and the man is ambitious in all directions, why should he be obsessed with the love of the children in front of him?" ”
Ye Yi smiled gradually, but his eyes became more determined and full of ambition.
"She rejected me, saying that she wanted my parents' orders, and I earned a chance to come, and she shouldn't. She rejected me again, saying that she didn't like the status I could bring him, so I would earn it again, and I would see what reasons she used to reject me. ”
"Gradually, don't be obsessed."
"Father, this is the path I chose."
Ye Zhao looked at Ye Yichuan, and for a while, he had mixed tastes.
He could see that although the plan this time was successful, it was only half successful, because this letter completely ignited Ye Yiji's ambition, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him.
The next day, the emperor issued an order to summon the heroes.
Ye Yigradually was named the commander of the Yulin avant-garde because of his achievements in the Northern Expedition, guarding the south of the imperial city and patrolling the gates of the capital. Ye Yijian also jumped from a white body to an officialdom and occupied a position.
