Chapter 49: You don't understand my pride
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the banquet dropped directly to the freezing point, and the people who were still eating and drinking before also stopped their movements, and everyone stared at Ye Chao with no breath, not knowing what kind of counterattack this lord of Chiba Ridge would make.
Ye Chao was stunned for a while with his wine glass, looking a little out of the world, and a little like he was thinking about what kind of existence Pingyang was in the other party's mouth.
After a long time, he smiled very freely and said, "Princess Pingyang, if you don't say that I have forgotten, she is doing well now." ”
"It's not bad, if it weren't for you, of course she would have had a good life, but because of your relationship, she hasn't been able to leave her dormitory for five years, but you live quite comfortably in this place!"
The one who was talking to Ye Chao was a girl, who looked fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a gourd girl's hairstyle, fair skin~hui, a pair of Danfeng eyes staring at Ye Chao coldly, and with the pointed chin, it was completely cold.
"Xiao Ling must not be presumptuous, how can you have the right to speak here!" Kang Ning scolded on the side, it could be seen that this person named Xiao Ling should be a person close to Kang Ning, Ye Chao thought viciously in his heart, this girl should not be Kang Ning's little one raised outside!
Just as Ye Chao was thinking about how to cover up this embarrassing topic, Kang Ning stood up with his wine glass and said, "Viscount Ye Chao, it was really rude just now, this is my niece, called Tao Xiaoling." This time, when she heard that I was going to come out, she pestered me to bring her out as well. I wanted to take her to see the world, but I didn't expect to talk nonsense in this place, and I will definitely teach her a good lesson when I go back. ”
In Qixing's officialdom, just relying on the emperor's favor can not mix the position of the third grade, and Kang Ning himself is also an eight-sided exquisite existence.
He could not care about Ye Chao's attitude towards him, but he definitely couldn't care about the attitude of Princess Pixing and Marquis Ye Cheng. Now that Ye Chao treats him politely, if he makes Ye Chao ugly, at least he will rely on his elders and identity to not take Ye Chao in his eyes, and at worst, he will rely on the grace of His Majesty the Emperor and careless about the faces of other nobles.
Ye Yan waved his hand and said: "Lord Kang Ning is serious, how can I be an adult like a child, don't you say that there is no taboo in children's words." And I appreciate Miss Xiaoling's character of daring to say and do, which is rare among Qixing women, and I think Miss Xiaoling will definitely have great achievements in the future. ”
Kang Ning was stunned, Ye Chao is really only seventeen years old now? Such a dripping sentence is not like a seventeen-year-old boy can say, he thinks that this time may be able to get a good understanding of the young man in front of him, and he always feels that this young man should not be as unbearable as others say.
Don't think that you will make me happy if you praise me like this, I am not very happy in my heart, you have bullied my friend, I want to be angry for my friend!"
Xiao Ling blushed and hurriedly parried, she was a little girl who had never seen anything in the world, where was Ye Lan's opponent, usually others praised her for always saying that she was beautiful, or that she was smart and clever. In short, it is a simple one or two words that summarize the advantages of her whole body, although sometimes it will make her quite happy, but after listening to it too much, it is inevitable that she will feel a little boring.
Today, Ye Chao didn't say anything about her appearance, but started from her personality and way of behaving in the world, Xiao Ling felt novel and a little embarrassed at the same time, she always felt that such a compliment seemed to be a very high-end appearance, and then looked at Ye Chao and didn't feel so hateful, but she refused to let go.
The expression on Xiao Ling's face could not be hidden from Ye Chao and Kang Ning, Kang Ning laughed with satisfaction, Ye Chao's words just now dissolved the embarrassing atmosphere, covered up the matter and gave him enough face at the same time, he was very satisfied.
Ye Chao was also very satisfied, there was really no opponent among his peers, he picked up a glass of wine while the iron was hot and said, "Everyone, let's wish Miss Xiaoling to be young and beautiful forever, how about finding her own Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible?"
Now Xiao Ling was completely quiet, she sat honestly in her seat, and she didn't dare to look at Ye Chao with her head down.
The banquet lasted for another two hours, and finally the guests and hosts returned with enthusiasm, and Ye Lan made an appointment with Kang Ning to cut the ribbon the next day.
When he returned to the room, Ye Lan was not in a hurry to sleep, but sat on a chair and closed his eyes and thought about this time. I don't know why, he suddenly had a very tired feeling, not physical, but psychological.
For him, who has been idle for seventeen years, there are indeed a lot of things that have happened during this time, and some things are still a mess, and he has no clue at all.
At this time, Lian Xing knocked on the door outside and asked, "Brother Ye Shi, are you resting, can I come in?"
"Not yet, please come in. Ye Lan stretched his waist and exhaled heavily.
Lian Xing pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw Ye Lan sitting on a chair resting, he took the initiative to come behind him, reached out to help Ye Lan pinch his shoulders and said, "Brother Ye Shi, are you tired?"
"One thing, there are a lot of things going on during this time, is there anything wrong with coming to me without a break so late?" Ye Chao leaned back in his chair and accepted the service of Lianxing with peace of mind.
"Brother Shi, what's the matter, can't I come over to talk to Brother Shi if there is no matter?" Even when he said these words, Lianxing's voice was still very soft.
Ye Lan suddenly grabbed Pian Xing's hand ~ and said with a smile: "Okay Pi Xing, the two of us have been together for several years, I know too well what your personality is." Although the two of us have a marriage contract, if there is nothing special in the past five years, you usually won't come to my room at night, and you are much more important to men and women than me. ”
Lianxing's hand stiffened for a moment, and then he asked cautiously, "Brother Shi, are you blaming me?"
"Why, you think too much, you're doing the right thing, girls should be more reserved. Okay, what's the matter with me? If you don't say anything else, I'm going to sleep!"
Lian Xing breathed a sigh of relief, she was really a little afraid that Ye Yan would be bored because the relationship between the two of them was too ordinary. Since Sophia appeared, Pian Xing has been conducting self-examination all the time, and sometimes she wonders if she should also be as active as Sophia, maybe Ye Lan likes girls who take the initiative.
But because of education, there are some things that Lianxing really can't do, which has always made her heart very entangled, and now it's really good that Ye Chao can say this.
Lian Xing sorted out his mood and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is one thing that plans to come over and ask Brother Ye Shi for help." ”
Ye looked at Lian Xing in confusion, and asked with some irony: "What's wrong with you today, how do you feel that you are very polite, if you have anything to say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." Although it's not bad to be respectful, I think it's better to live a long life in the future. ”
Lian Xing didn't say much, and bowed directly to Ye Chaoying.
Ye Chao was so frightened that he almost jumped outside the house, is this joke a bit too big, Pixing is also the princess of the Qixing Kingdom, and now he salutes him like this, isn't this a mess of the rules, if outsiders know that he has a few heads, it is not enough to cut off. Could it be that Mercy already hates him so much because of Sophia's relationship, and plans to dispose of him in this way?
"Okay, Lianxing, don't come here, let's just stand and say what we have to say, I have a bad heart!" Looking at Lianxing, who was about to come again, Ye Chao immediately opened his mouth to stop him.
"Brother Ye Shi, I know that this request I made may be excessive, but I really hope that Brother Ye Shi can agree to me. ”
"Okay, okay, I promise you, as long as you don't do this, we can discuss anything, why should you embarrass me if you have no hatred or resentment, right!"
Seeing that things had come to this point, Lian Xing simply gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Ye Shi, I hope you can write a letter to my father and ask him to release Pingyang, it's been five years, and I think Pingyang has also received the punishment he deserves." ”
It's Pingyang again, and after hearing these two words, Ye Chao's face instantly became gloomy. Lianxing stood aside and watched the change in Ye Chao's face, she was shocked for no reason, she felt that she might have touched a certain minefield.
After a long time, Ye Chao said in an unkind tone: "Pity Xing, do you know that I almost died in Pingyang's hands at the beginning?"
"I know, but ......"
"Now that you know why you can still open your mouth to help her intercede today? You know everything that happened at the beginning, how I was forced to die by her step by step, have you forgotten, if it wasn't for my luck, I'm afraid I would have died five years ago!
If Pingyang wasn't a princess, I would have killed her directly, and now it's cheap for her to just be under house arrest in the palace. You may think that I am narrow-minded, but I want to tell you that the person who can repay his grievances with virtue is a saint, and the profession of saint was banned thousands of years ago!"
At this moment, Ye Chao's body exuded an aura of violent destruction, and it was the first time for Lianxing to see Ye Chao like this, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
Half a day later, he said: "I also know that Pingyang did something wrong at that time, but so long has passed, and she has been in her bedroom every day for the past five years, and she has been repenting of her mistakes every day.
I also know that compared to the things she did to you, five years of confinement is nothing, so I have been trying my best to compensate Brother Ye Shi in every way for the past five years. For the sake of what I have done in the past five years, please help Pingyang say good things in front of my father, okay?
After all, we are sisters, I can't watch Pingyang continue to suffer like this, if Brother Ye Shi feels that five years is not enough, then ten years, twenty years, as long as you can help intercede, I am willing to do my best to compensate, even if it is okay to do something like that.
I agreed to Pingyang's refusal, Pingyang is unwilling to be your wife, I am willing, this is not only the royal compensation for your Ye family, but also my compensation for you for Pingyang. Brother Ye Shi, I think five years is enough time to show my sincerity, isn't it? ”
"Princess Pixing, before I don't curse, please go out. It wasn't until today that I didn't know that there was no so-called relationship at all in the past five years of getting along, and everything was just you compensating me, right! If that's the case, I don't need this kind of compensation, I'm far stronger and prouder than you think!"
