He studied hard, tried hard to learn everything he needed to learn, tried hard to keep up with her, tried hard to adjust his mentality, no longer honestly afraid, but tried to get close to her naturally, and everything he did was for what she called the "brother-in-law".

He has to be worthy of the five words "brother-in-law"!

However, when did things start to change quietly?

Is it when Ashu was lonely but resolutely decided to give up his marriage contract with Zhi Qihua?

Or did Doctor Bian write to him, asking him to think clearly about whether to heal Zhi Qihua's leg, so as not to regret it for the rest of his life?

Or after Zhi Qihua returned to Beijing from Yingchuan, when facing his own questioning, he lost his soul and said, "I'm not qualified to marry her, I'm not as good as you-"

I'm not qualified to marry her, I'm not as good as you-

He didn't know what kind of mood Zhi Qihua had when he said this, and what kind of purpose he came from, but he couldn't deny that he was indeed stealing, and in that unspeakable stealing, he gradually bred undeserved greed.

Ashu took him as his brother-in-law, respected him, loved him, was considerate of him, trusted him, and relied on him, but he had such a dirty mind for her!

He couldn't face up to such a despicable self, so he could only lock the desire-hope that grew more and more inflated with the passage of time from Ye Qingshu in the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to let anyone know, and worked hard to hypnotize himself, he was Ashu's elder brother and elder brother......

Until the Empress Dowager Hua said, "She is obviously hinting that you are asking to marry her!" "Opened that big lock and made everything uncontrollable!

He obviously knew that there would never be any hints in what Ye Qingshu said, but he couldn't help but hope that what the Empress Dowager Hua said was true, and Ah Shu was really hinting that he was asking to marry her, because she no longer wanted him to be her brother and wanted him to be her husband, so it was not considered that he had broken his promise.

Ye Qingling babbled on and on about the benefits of Zhi Qihua, but he couldn't deceive himself anymore, just like the imperial grandmother said, no matter what Ashu said, it didn't matter, the important thing was whether he wanted to marry her or not!

No matter how much he restrains himself with "not a brother or sister is better than a brother or sister", he can't change that he is no longer satisfied with just being her brother!

He wanted to be closer to her, closer than his brother and sister, and he wanted to marry her!

He wants to marry her!

That's all!

Ye Qingling didn't notice the change in Ye Qingcheng's expression, and babbled about the benefits of a lot of support, and finally changed the topic.

"Ah Shu doesn't look down on Xia Sangongzi, I see that the only one in the entire capital who can compare with his cousin is Hua Shizi, although Hua Shizi has an eldest son, but Brother Qian'er has grown up, he is a good one, and he has been good friends with Ah Shu since he was a child, but it is not in the way."

"It's Mrs. Hua," Ye Qingling said worriedly and frowned, "Mrs. Hua's temperament is really too much to compliment." I'm not boasting, my etiquette was learned from the old lady who came out of the palace since I was a child, not to mention outstanding, at least it's decent, right? ”

"When I went to the Huaguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Hua this year, I just said a few more words to my husband and laughed twice, and she was openly and secretly ridiculed for being undignified and childish."

"Although this daughter's family is married to a husband, it is her mother-in-law who gets along the most on weekdays. Shizi, do you say? ”

Ye Qingcheng, "......"

Therefore, not only did Ye Qingling not see him as an ideal husband who could be compared to Zhi Qihua, but he didn't even regard him as a man?

"Ashu is young and has never been married, so he may not be able to understand it, but Mrs. Hua's health has not been very good in the past two years, and I don't know if she will die for a while, if she dies, it will be easier to do."

Ye Qingcheng, "......"

No wonder people say that husband and wife are husband and wife, he remembers that Wen Zhen was not so stunned when he spoke before!

"Hua Shizi has always taken great care of Ashu, and he is even better, and the children in the future will definitely be beautiful, and it will be even more amazing if he has a daughter, maybe he will be like the Queen Mother-"

Ye Qingcheng saw that she had talked about Ye Qingshu and Hua Shao's children, so he couldn't bear to cough and spoke, "Bian Heng went to see Mrs. Hua and said that although she had a slight illness, it would not be a problem to live for another twenty years."

Ye Qingling, "......"

Ye Qingcheng's eyebrows rolled, revealing his signature elegant smile, "Wenzhen, in fact, there is a young talent in Beijing who is not inferior to Zhi Shizi."

Ye Qingling sighed, and suddenly spoke, "The prince is talking about the eldest grandson of Prince Ning, the king of Nan'an County?" The king of Nan'an County can indeed be called a young talent, but he is a year younger than Ashu, but it is nothing-"

Ye Qingcheng, "......"

That's enough!

Ye Qingcheng interrupted her with a smile, "Wenzhen, when it comes to the four words of young talent, who in the entire capital can compare to this son?" ”

Ye Qingling, "......"

Ye Qingcheng stood up unhurriedly, leaned over slightly, and looked at Ye Qingling with a condescending smile, "What does Wen Zhen think?" ”

Ye Qingling, "......"

I think that not only when it comes to the four words of young talents, but also about the thickness of the skin, there are few in the entire capital that can compare to you!

Ye Qingling barely closed his mouth wide after a while, and stammered, "Brother, brother, yes, Ashu, Ashu's brother-"

"My surname is Xiao now."

surnamed Xiao, naturally you can marry Ye Qingshu, who only has the name of a righteous sister.

Ye Qingling was speechless, Ye Qingcheng arched his hand at her, "Farewell".

Ye Qing got up sharply and grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going!" ”

Ye Qingcheng frowned and looked at her hand holding her sleeve, Ye Qingling subconsciously retracted his hand, but still didn't let a step, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Where to?

Now that he has thought clearly and made up his mind, he naturally wants to show his heart to Ash, and if Ash agrees, it will naturally be the best.

If Ashu doesn't agree—

A dark glint flashed in Ye Qingcheng's eyes, he naturally had to think carefully about her to agree!

"Go see Ash".

Ye Qingling hurriedly walked a few steps, blocking his way, "Shizi, this matter is big, please think twice!" ”

Ye Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Huh?" ”

Ye Qingling was in a hurry and blurted out, "Even if the prince asks to marry Ashu, he should come according to the etiquette of three media and six appointments, and invite Gao Media to my Ye Mansion to propose marriage, and the prince rashly went to Ashu to say, do you want to insult Ashu or insult yourself?" ”

Ye Qingcheng stared at her, Ye Qingling's hairs stood up when he saw it, and he subconsciously straightened his belly, which was not yet pregnant, and raised his neck, "Etiquette must not be wasted!" What's more, it's a big marriage event! Please think twice! ”

Ye Qingcheng stared at her quietly and didn't speak, obviously his eyes were not too vicious, even bland, only slightly with a hint of scrutiny, but Ye Qingling's legs were straight and weak, and fine and dense sweat began to appear on his back, and he didn't dare to meet his gaze at all.

It's just that she has been straightening her back, strictly blocking Ye Qingcheng's way, and using silence and posture to show her position.
