Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

And Chu Ye, who had been standing next to Situ Li and waiting for the imperial doctor, when he saw Situ Lan going and returning, he didn't say a word and left with his father-in-law beside him.

was arrogant, a handsome face was tightly tensed, and he didn't even throw a glance at Situ Lan, let alone stop to say a few words to him.

When Situ Lan walked to Situ Li's side, he only saw a back of Chu Ye, he didn't know why, he knew that the other party didn't offend him, and even saved Situ Li just now.

Although he is not familiar with Situ Li, Situ Li is the girl of his Situ family after all, and he was rescued by outsiders, as the sister-in-law of the Situ family, he still has to come forward to thank him on behalf of the Situ family, but Situ Lan just looked at him inexplicably unhappy.

But because of the identity of the other party, Situ Lan just pouted lightly, and then stayed by Situ Li's side boredly.

People obviously have no intention of talking to themselves, so naturally there is no need for them to stick to it. Situ Lan thought without pressure.

On the other side, Chu Ye's steps were very big, he jumped into the water just now to save people, although he had changed into spare clothes and his hair had been re-groomed, but, after all, it was stained with lake water, the place was simple, and there were no serious washing tools for him to use, Chu Ye still felt a little uncomfortable on his body.

He was anxious to go back to the palace to take a hot bath, and then change into a new dress, as for the clothes that were stained with lake water, they must not be clean, so they could throw it away.

Chu Ye thought about these messy things in his mind, and tried to distract himself so that he no longer thought about his attitude towards him.

However, there is a saying that happens to be called "the road is narrow", and on another road not far from him, Baili Tayue is walking slowly with a maid.

She seemed to be in a bad mood, her usual bright and lively little face was tense, her brows were tightly locked, and she looked preoccupied.

For Chu Ye, who was also not in a good mood, it was an unexpected joy to encounter a hundred miles of moon on the road, the irritability in his eyes disappeared instantly, and then he stepped forward happily, wanting to go up and talk to her.

Chu Ye always wanted to ask her, obviously she was the best among the children of the capital in terms of identity and status, as well as appearance and knowledge, but why did she just dislike herself?

However, Baili Tayue on the other road also quickly discovered Chu Ye, seeing that he looked like he was going to approach this side and talk to him, the impatience hidden between Baili Tayue's eyebrows became even more obvious, she lowered her eyes, didn't even look at Chu Ye, and immediately took the maid to walk in the opposite direction to Chu Ye.

Obviously, he just didn't want to see Chu Ye's appearance.

Baili Treading Moon obviously resisted indifferent behavior, like a basin of cold water poured down from above, instantly extinguishing the little flame of surprise that had just ignited in Chu Ye's heart.

Now he really can't think of any words to describe his feelings.

Chu Ye stood silently on the road, his face was bruised, and after several changes, the depression on his body was very obvious.

The father-in-law beside him saw that Chu Ye's face was very unsightly, and he was a little worried, so he couldn't help but say tentatively: "Your Highness? ”

"Say, why doesn't she want to see this palace like this? What is it about this palace that is not worthy of her? "The current Chu Ye is still a teenager after all, and after experiencing repeated blows, he can't help but complain to his father-in-law beside him.

It's not easy to take this, but fortunately, the father-in-law is a clever man, he stretched out his hand to hold Chu Ye's arm, and followed the temptation: "Your Highness can't think like this, if Your Highness is not worthy of Miss Baili, then there will be no young talent in the world who can do it." ”

"It's just that the slave feels that Miss Baili doesn't accept His Highness, not because of your own reasons, but because of your origin."

"Where do I come from?" Chu Ye was puzzled, he was born in the royal family, he has been the object of envy of everyone since he was a child, he can be respected by others wherever he goes, and he himself is often proud of his identity, how could he have thought that one day, this identity would become a burden to himself.

The father-in-law's voice was unhurried, and it seemed to carry a magic that could calm people's hearts: "Your Highness, you think, Miss Baili is a person of true temperament, and it is precisely because of this that she is fortunate to get His Highness's blue eyes, but Miss Baili seems to have some resistance and prejudice against the royal family. ”

"Yes, she doesn't like the palace very much." Chu Ye nodded, acknowledging his father-in-law's words, and sighed in a melancholy tone.

The father-in-law beside him immediately echoed: "Yes, it is precisely because Miss Bai Baili doesn't like the palace, and she loves the house and Wu, and hates the house and Wu, so she has always resisted His Highness coldly." But in the final analysis, it is not His Highness's fault that he was born in the royal family. Miss Baili's true temperament, His Royal Highness must not be in a hurry, he must use his heart to influence her, and the slave believes that one day, with His Royal Highness's talent, Miss Baili will definitely be able to let go of prejudice and enter the palace willingly. ”

The father-in-law's words were reasonable, which gave Chu Ye a lot of confidence, and also unexpectedly calmed the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

Chu Ye thought that although Baili Tayue had always been cold and indifferent to him, and refused his many invitations, at the same time, he did not agree to Situ Lan, who also invited him.

Between her and Situ Lan, there should be nothing.

Thinking of this, Chu Ye's mood immediately improved a lot, and he decided that the next time he saw Baili Treading the Moon again, he must have a good talk with her.

Bored by Situ Li's side, Lai Situ Lan finally waited for the late imperial doctor.

Looking at the imperial doctor with the medicine box in his hand, he stood up from the ground with a "rub" and complained unhappily: "Why is it so slow? Master, the whole person I was waiting for was sick! ”

The palace is very large, and the imperial physician is not qualified to take a car in the palace, and the little eunuch who went to invite the imperial physician also relied on a pair of legs, and it took a long time to go back and forth.

The imperial doctor, who was complained, wiped the hot sweat from his head in a little panic, and brought it to Situ Lan, although he looked like a fool, he was actually not an unreasonable master.

He just casually said a few words to express his dissatisfaction, and he didn't actually get angry.

After wiping the sweat from his head, the imperial doctor took out another handkerchief and wiped his hands, then put down the medicine box and carefully checked Situ Li's pulse.

Situ Li's pulse was relatively stable, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, but in view of the rumors that she had fainted from the little eunuch she had heard before, for the sake of safety, the imperial doctor still carefully inquired and confirmed that Situ Li did not have any other discomfort, so he said to Situ Lan: "This young lady is not a big problem, but she is frightened by falling into the water, and the lake is cold. ”

Situ Lan casually listened to the imperial doctor's ramblings, and knew that Situ Li was really fine. He casually threw a bag of reward money to the little eunuch and the eunuch who ran away, and then took Situ Li back to Situ's house.

After receiving the news that Situ Lan was home, Situ Lian, who had not seen his son for several days, actually came to the door to greet him in person.

When he came up, he asked for warmth, and the housekeepers and servants who followed behind him also had a joyful smile on their faces, as if Situ Lan's return home was a very celebratory thing.

After Situ Lian looked Situ Lan up and down, and made sure that he hadn't lost weight recently, was not injured, no, and was bullied outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask Situ Lan about his recent condition: "Son, where have you been during this time?" ”

"Didn't go anywhere, it's still the same." Even if he had long been accustomed to his father's attitude towards him, Situ Lan still couldn't stand his enthusiasm, and he pushed Situ Lian into the mansion a little helplessly: "Dad, let's go back to the house." Situ Li is still outside, she just fell into the lake and was fished out, so you let her go back first. ”

With Situ Lan's reminder, Situ Lian saw Situ Li behind Situ Lan, seeing that her face was indeed a little pale, and the onset was also a little scattered, and she felt wet, and her beaming and loving expression just now couldn't help but fade a little, but he didn't say much, just nodded, and told the maid next to Situ Li to take care of her.

Situ Li saw that Situ Lian didn't care about her at all, even if she already knew that it would be like this, she was inevitably a little unbalanced in her heart.

Situ Lan has never been bullied, he is living a prosperous life outside, Situ Lian is afraid that he will not eat well, sleep warmly, and personally care about him as soon as he goes home, and he fell into the lake and was rescued, which can be said to be nine deaths, since he only got his faint sentence "take care of it", he didn't even care.

Her expression darkened, and she said goodbye with a blessed body, but her heart was full of unwillingness.

Seeing Situ Li leaving, Situ Lian grabbed Situ Lan again and asked, "Stinky boy, don't try to avoid the serious, say, where have you been recently?" ”

Situ Lan was a little helpless: "Traveling in the mountains and rivers, naturally you can go wherever the scenery is good." ”

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at Situ Lan's yard, which was still clean and clean, and someone came to clean it every day.

Situ Lan was very satisfied, but Situ Lian followed behind him a little helplessly and comforted: "Son, you can't do this, you are not young, you have to grow up a little." ”

There was a hint of hatred in the tone.

Situ Lan agreed with a smile, but Situ Lian, who was familiar with his nature, knew that this stinky boy still didn't take his words to heart. However, the son is his own, and he is reluctant to beat and scold, which is really sad.

Situ Mansion here is very lively because of Situ Lan's homecoming, and the palace on the other side is also a lively scene.

Recently, there has been a lot of foreign tribute, and there are some strange things to be done.

Chu Ye was accompanying the emperor at this time, watching his father-in-law beside the emperor present the novelty things in front of the old emperor for him to see.

The emperor's face smiled, these things that could be brought to the emperor were naturally treasures from Fangfang's tribute, and there were indeed many strange and novel things.
