Chapter 242: Willingly
Although Xiao Xu asked like this, he was extremely disgusted with Ye Yi in his heart. Doesn't this man have a little in mind? Chu Junlan is his fiancΓ©e, but he still has that kind of mind for her, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself after repeated warnings, and now he dares to find him here!
Chu Junlan frowned and said, "Xu is in a hurry, right?" He turned around and told Jingyu, "You go and tell Ye Gongzi that I am treating Shizi at this time, and I want him to wait for a while." β
"Yes." Jing Yu glanced at his own prince, and lowered his head and retreated in the sight of him as if he was about to eat people.
Chu Junlan still applied the needle to Xiao Xu, his expression was focused, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to take Ye Yiji's matter to heart at all. Xiao Xu felt a little better when he saw her like this, but he still had a stinky face.
Chu Junlan saw him pursing his lips and frowning, looking like someone owed him money, and said funny: "What's the matter, it was okay just now." β
Xiao Xu was silent, but he was thinking in his heart: The person he hated just now hasn't come yet.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Junlan shook his head and said helplessly: "Since he was in a hurry to find me, he found you here, and he couldn't even wait for me to go home. β
Just knew that Chu Junlan hadn't done anything wrong, Xiao Xu didn't have the position to say anything more, so he was so depressed, he didn't blame Chu Junlan, so he hated Ye Yijian even more.
Xiao Xu was expressionless and didn't say a word, Chu Junlan didn't know what was "rich" in his heart, the two of them were still talking and laughing just now, and when they heard that Ye Yi gradually came to her, she was so angry, which made her really helpless and funny, and there was still a trace of joy in her heart.
"Okay, don't be angry," Chu Junlan took off a silver needle, sat beside him with a smile, and looked at Xiao Xu up close with one hand, "No matter how angry you are, you will have wrinkles, does it look good with wrinkles when you are young?" β
Xiao Xu pursed his lips to look at her, his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, obviously he didn't have any expression, but it made Chu Junlan see a little grievance.
"You think I'm not good-looking?" That Ye Yijian was not much more handsome than him.
Chu Junlan pinched his face with tears and laughter: "You don't look good?" Do you see if you're talking about people? Can't give us these unsightly people a way to live? β
"You are good-looking," Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan seriously, "You are beautiful." β
Is it really good to say such things with such a serious expression?
Chu Junlan's cheeks were hot, and he opened his eyes and snorted: "It's really annoying." β
Xiao Xu looked at her pink ears and wore the pearl earrings he gave her, and the boredom in her heart disappeared completely.
In the final analysis, whether it is to pursue Chu Junlan or to fight for the inheritance of the throne, it is just a matter of ability. He can't blame someone for having a liking for Chu Junlan, after all, Chu Junlan is such a likable person, all he can do is do his best to be good to her.
What's more, he loves her and has nothing to do with her, he can't force Chu Junlan to return the same affection just because he has given his feelings, right? It's not fair.
Chu Junlan found that Xiao Xu's eyes were becoming more and more gentle when he looked at her, and he became more and more uncomfortable. Cozy, this is a long skill!
Verbally removing the silver needle for him, Chu Junlan put the silver needle away and said, "Then I'll go to the front hall first." β
Xiao Xu nodded.
Seeing Chu Junlan's slender back disappear at the door, Xiao Xu also got up and walked towards the black lacquer large painting case.
Jing Yu trotted in and said in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, do you want to go to the small one?" β
Xiao Xu casually picked up the "Art of War" on the table, and sat down upright: "No need. β
"But aren't you curious? That Ye Gongzi is ...... to the third lady."
Before he spoke, he choked back by Xiao Xu's sudden gaze. Jing Yu pursed her lips and quietly retreated.

Chu Junlan took Zi Yan to the front hall, and saw Ye Yijian wearing a dark blue cloud brocade collared arrow sleeve robe, and he was holding a blue and white three-cai bowl in a daze.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Yigradually looked up, and when his eyes met, Ye Yijian had a smile on his face.
Chu Junlan asked with a smile: "Ye Gongzi, what's the urgency?" β
Ye Yiyan nodded, put the bowl lightly on the side of the table, and first looked at Zi Yan behind Chu Junlan: "You retreat first." β
Zi Yan glanced at Chu Junlan inquiringly, and when she saw her bow, she bowed and retreated.
For a while, there were only Chu Junlan and Ye Yijian left in the front hall.
Chu Junlan sat down in the vacant seat opposite Ye Yiyan.
"I'm about to go on a campaign with the army." Ye Yi gradually looked at her, his eyes were gentle, "Originally, I had the opportunity to be the first civil official in this dynasty, but then the situation changed, and I only became a military advisor. But even so, it was my chance to show my ambitions. β
Chu Junlan sighed in her heart, she knew too well why Ye Yijian didn't become a prison army, although she felt guilty, she only felt extremely helpless because of her different positions, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, this is indeed an opportunity to practice, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be more careful." β
Ye Yijian smiled and nodded: "I will, you don't have to worry." β
Chu Junlan said: "You haven't left the eldest princess's side for many years, and now that you go out, the eldest princess must not be at ease, right?" β
"Yes," speaking of the eldest princess, Ye Yijian was also a little helpless, "My grandmother has been blocking her, and she even wants to go to the emperor and beg him to remove my name from the list, she just wants me to stay by her side and live my life in peace and security." β
"The eldest princess's love of licking calves is moving."
"yes. All these years, it has been thanks to my grandmother. But the man's ambition is in all directions, I can't be willing to be just a rich idler for the rest of my life," Ye Yiyan suddenly looked at Chu Junlan and said seriously, "In that case, how can I climb up, and why can I win everything I want?" β
Chu Junlan vaguely understood what Ye Yijian was talking about, but she didn't know what she was saying, so she only nodded.
Ye Yi gradually stood up and slowly walked to Chu Junlan.
She sits, he stands, she has no choice but to look up at him, such an angle is too oppressive, so Chu Junlan doesn't like it, but if she stands up, the distance between them is too close.
Ye Yijian is a gentle and polite person, and it is rare to be so rude.
He leaned over slowly, looked at Chu Junlan's eyes, and said seriously: "I will follow King Gongding into the military camp later, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to see you again before leaving, so I am in a hurry to come here to find you." Junlan, I want to ask you...... Do you like the prince of Gongding? β
Chu Junlan leaned back a little and looked directly into Ye Yiji's eyes: "What does Ye Gongzi mean by this?" β
"Do you like Gongding Wang Shizi? Can you live comfortably with him? Ye Yi gradually got closer and asked strongly, "Are you willing to let you be the princess?" Would you really like to live in such an environment for the rest of your life? Two genuine mothers-in-law on their heads, and infinite battles for the throne around them? β
