Chapter 545: Who is Your Second Brother?
s gentle, no wonder she can befriend someone like the Mu family with such a personality. 。"Alright, it's getting late. Don't dawdle outside any longer, hurry inside and burn incense." 。“The Xiao fami...<
When Zhu'er and Ji Rong heard this, they also reacted and quickly went to check. >>> 。Fortunately, the secret room came with us too. The things inside didn't seem to be missing anything, and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. 。After the luncheon in the flower hall, Shi Lifen came back to keep Yinyan company for the night. 。But because Ye Wen hadn't woken up, no one kept him company. 。He decisively dismissed the servants, took off his shoes and snuggled up with her under one blanket. 。She lay down, he sat up, she fell asleep, he pulled a book from the storage space and began to read it. 。During the night, Ye Wen tossed and turned several times, kicking off the covers. He patiently covered her back up. 。Yè Wēn Yán seemed to have had a dream, he waved his fists a few times, then gently held her hand and patted her back lightly. The little girl soon fell fast asleep again. 。The two of them were like an old married couple, everything seemed so natural and effortless. 。Until nightfall, the sound of Zhu'er's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, would you like to have dinner"The Emperor felt that mortals were really too troublesome. He had only finished lunch less than two hours ago, how could he need dinner again Are mortals so gluttonous now Aren't they afraid of eating themselves to death Seeing that the Emperor in the room didn't respond for a long time, Zhu'er knew that this question must be something the Emperor didn't want to hear, so she stopped asking and only said: "At this time every day, the Fulu Courtyard is about to start singing opera. Would Your Majesty like to go and listen to the excitement I will take care of Miss here." 。Shi Lifen thought this was quite interesting, so he replied, "Okay" 。“Think again, and said,”Send someone to the Marquis of Ren's mansion to call Quan Qingyun over to accompany this deity in watching a play.” 。And even the eunuchs in the palace, all of them came out. 。" This task was taken by Ji Rong, and the work of looking after Ye Wen at night in the house was also snatched away by Xiang Dong. She chased Zhuai'er to be around Shi Liyuan and wait for orders. " 。After all, she's both an emperor and an empress. Xiangdong felt that she couldn't handle it. 。Today's Fulu Courtyard is indeed the most honorable one in history. The Emperor, His Majesty, the Third Prince, Chi Hongfang, and even Jiang Feng all came. 。After meeting Jiang Feng, Chi Hongfang continued to exchange a few words: "Feifei originally wanted to come too, but I told her that Empress Dowager and Emperor are unwell and cannot receive guests. Even if you went, you wouldn't be able to see her." 。“I told Wǎntíng the same thing. She said she only came here because of the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager wasn’t here, there was no need to come to the General's Mansion.” 。The Emperor is not someone she should meet. Even if she were to meet him, it should be through the Empress Dowager's introduction, not her own initiative to visit while the Empress Dowager is ill. That would be improper. 。" That's exactly right! Our children are all sensible and wouldn't do anything unpleasant. " 。The two of them sat quietly under the stage, whispering to each other. On the other side, Quan Qingcheng leaned over to Quan Qingyun's side and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Third Brother, I didn't dare to talk much to you before because I felt that you never looked favorably upon me, and even thought in your heart that it was I who took away your throne..." 。But look at the situation now, we are all in front of His Majesty the Emperor. How much face do we have left Doesn't that mean we're on the same side Doesn't that mean you wouldn't treat me like you used to"
Quan Qingyun frowned and glanced at him, “Does how I treat you have anything to do with His Majesty the Emperor”
“How is it not related Didn't I just say that we are on the same side now" 。"That doesn't affect this king looking down on you" 。"
Quan Qingcheng was very depressed. How could this not make sense What's wrong with this third brother, why is he so stubborn Where did he go wrong, why does this third brother look down on him so much It's just a throne, it's not worth making such a deep hatred
He hummed twice, leaned back in his chair, thought for a while, and muttered to himself, "When the second brother returns to Beijing, I must ask him, where did I go wrong..." 。I still need to ask Second Brother, how could he stand your temper, Third Brother 。" Right now, Quan Qingyun was completely baffled. What did he mean by "second brother," "third brother" How did his temperament have anything to do with Quan QingHe was just about to ask Quan Qingcheng about it when he turned his head and saw him beckoning to Zhuier. As soon as Zhuier walked over, he heard Quan Qingcheng say, “Pei’er, I’m asking you, when will Second Brother return to the capital after going to Ping County” Zhuier glared at him fiercely, "If you call me that name one more time, I'll beat you up." 。Besides, don't call him "Second Brother" all the time. He's from the Ye Clan, how did he become your second brother Calling him like that will embarrass Second Master. Even though he doesn't really have any face in our Ye Family, you can't be too obvious about it. 。As an emperor, you should not be involved in such a private dispute. 。"
Zhuier tried her best to advise Quan Qingcheng, and after listening, Quan Qing suddenly realized, "So my second brother isn't referring to the second brother of the Quan family, but Ye Fei Zhou" Where did he get this idea from
Seeing him staring at himself, Quan Qingcheng took a step back, “Third brother, don’t look at me like that. I haven’t done anything wrong. Why are you looking at me like that Although I am the emperor now, I don't put on airs in front of you. I haven't even called myself 'Your Majesty'. How can you still be dissatisfied If you keep acting this way, when my second brother returns, I really have to have a good talk with him. " 。"I can't stand this anymore, who is your second brother" "Ye Fei Zhou!" he answered very crisply. 。"Quan Qingyun was so angry that he rolled his eyes and pointed at Zhuier, saying, “Just now this girl also said it was the second young master of the Ye family. How did it become your second brother You are surnamed Quan, you are still the emperor now, can you stop recognizing relatives outside What will people think when they know” “Where have I recognized a relative wrongly” Quan Qingcheng argued, “Sister Wenyan is my sister, everyone knows this! Even Your Majesty and my mother agree. Sister Wenyan also agrees…” 。That night, the second young master of our house was Miss Wen's elder brother, and it’s not wrong for me to call him "second brother" when I follow her lead. Next time I meet Madam Ye, I have to call her "mother" too!
Quan Qingyun pressed his chest, trying to suppress his anger and refusing to pay attention to Quan Qingcheng anymore. 。Shi Liyan glanced at these people, and he was puzzled in his heart. Since when did these people think he had such an approachable personality Was it their illusion, or had he really changed He asked Yunchen in a low voice, "Why are there so many people here"Yunchen said, "They all met on the road. They heard that the Emperor was here to watch the opera, so they followed back together." 。"I also think they're a bit too comfortable here, don't you Maybe we should… kick them out" Shi Lifeng shook his head. "No need, since they've come, let's just have them listen along!" On the stage, the play began. Mrs. Ye Lao was brought over by Zhou Cheng and knelt in the middle to watch the performance. 。The old lady had never longed to die so much. Living in such torment was truly unbearable. 。I haven't slept all night, and I didn't sleep all day today. I even got injured all over. At night, I have to kneel down and watch the play again. Let her explode on the spot! She really can't take it anymore. 。Even though it was unbearable, she had to endure. With Shi Liyuan around, the old woman couldn't live well or die peacefully. If she even knelt slightly crookedly, someone would continuously remind her. 。She truly felt the Emperor's determination to avenge his loved one at every moment. At the same time, she regretted her own overly biased attitude towards him. 。This was Shi Lifeng's first time watching a play. In the past, he would occasionally hear people mention that some concubine in the palace had set up a stage for a play, or that Lian Shi would say that a new play had been released by a troupe. 。Even when he had nothing to do, he would sneak into the inner court to catch a play. 。
He just couldn't get himself in the mood, even if he sang well, he felt it was a nuisance and didn't want to listen.
Today, if it wasn't for the need to stay at Ye Mansion and guard Ye Wenyan, he would never even attempt this. 。Fortunately, he had something else on his mind, such as why, whenever opera was mentioned, he would have people invite both Quan Qingyun and Quan Qingcheng over. 。He had always been a quiet person, finding crowds noisy. So people from the Ziyigong in Yanhuagong rarely entered the main hall, including Lian Shi. In the past, he seldom spoke to her either. 。Most of the time he would lock himself in his forge, or lean back in a chair and read. 。I've never done anything like this, gathering a bunch of people to talk and watch plays with me. 。Words can't describe it, he still did it today, and even did it very naturally, not feeling at all awkward or embarrassed. 。He thought, this must be because of Ye Wenyan. Because of Ye Wenyan, he started communicating with these people, getting to know them, being familiar with them, and even thinking about them. 。Perhaps he was never truly a cold-hearted person, but simply lived too long, witnessing one familiar face after another grow old and pass away. He felt both heartbreak and helplessness, gradually cultivating this personality of being indifferent and not getting close to anyone. 。He thought his life would go on like this forever, but suddenly he was pulled into the chaotic world of glamour by a young girl named Ye Wenyan. 。Now that I think about it, I'm scared. Luckily, this little girl is also a spirit cultivator, luckily this little girl will have a long life too. 。Otherwise, how could he face life and death decades laterAct after act, Zhuier and Ali had already propped up the old woman's eyelids with twigs. 。The old madam didn't dare to move, afraid that the two pieces of small twigs would poke her eyes blind. 。Now, just thinking about Li Yanran's appearance during the day makes her shudder. 。She was afraid she would become like that too, then it would truly be worse than death. 。An hour later, the servants of the Night Mansion changed the tea for these masters who were watching the opera and brought out some snacks. 。Zhou Cheng said, "Don't worry everyone, the kitchen is already preparing the meal. We'll have supper in a while." 。"
Qian Qingcheng was delighted. "You get to eat while watching a play"
Qian Qingyun glared at him again, "You're the Emperor! Can you please pay attention to your image"
Qian Qingcheng cleared his throat and sat up straight. "The Ye Mansion has made excellent preparations, I am very pleased." 。“ Quan Qingyun stroked his forehead, this...this is impossible to teach. 。At midnight, when the opera reached its most gripping moment—the discovery of the elderly mistress's affair by her eldest son—Ye Wenyan arrived, clad in a crimson dress that accentuated her fair complexion...s of guesses, but he never expected that before even seeing the person, the first thing he would hear was such a singing voice. The airy and calm person suddenly stood up, Huzi standing beside him was...
