Chapter 129 A sudden feeling of discomfort rose in my heart

Seeing Xue Yili's expression was not right, Ji Jinyou felt that he seemed to be ill, so he turned around and walked out: "I'll go call the doctor."

Xue Yili stretched out his big hand and held the little girl's hand: "I'm fine."

Ji Jinyou turned around and looked at Xue Yili again: "Are you really okay?"

Xue Yili gently pulled the little girl in front of him and held her hands: "It's really nothing."

Seeing that he didn't look sick, Ji Jinyou shook his hand and said, "Okay then."

Thinking about the mission of this trip, Ji Jinyou continued the topic just now: "So when do you plan to get married? The queen is anxious."

Xue Yili leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and looked quietly at the little girl in front of him.

The sunlight poured in through the glazed windows, shining on the little girl's profile, making her pink cheeks look like juicy summer peaches, making one want to take a big bite.

Xue Yili suddenly smiled. "If you have no shame, then you have no shame."

Seeing him suddenly laugh for no apparent reason, Ji Jinyou was puzzled: "I asked you when you were going to get married, why were you laughing?"

Xue Yili squeezed the little girl's hands with both hands and said with a smile: "I'll listen to you."

This person is sick, why should he listen to her when he is getting married? Thinking of this, Ji Jinyou said: "It's your own marriage, why do you listen to me?"

Xue Yili repeated: "You have the final say."

"If you don't want to talk nicely, forget it." Ji Jinyou pulled her hand out of his, rolled her eyes, turned around and sat on the kang by the window, picked up a plate of peeled hazelnuts and started eating.

Looking at the little girl with bulging cheeks who ate like a little squirrel, Xue Yili smiled dotingly, sat up straight, picked up the memorial, and continued to review it.

Ji Jinyou ate for a while, and seeing that Xue Yili was busy, she did not disturb him. She picked up the notebook that Xue Yili had prepared for her on the table and started to read it.

As she was watching, she suddenly remembered that the system had told her that in the original plot, Xue Yili was killed by the heir he personally chose, so she asked again: [Tongjie, what was the name of the heir chosen by Brother Ali? ]

System: [Xue Shanyuan is a member of the royal family. According to generation, he is the distant grandson of Xue Yili.]

Ji Jinyou: [Why did Xue Shanyuan want to kill Xue Yili? ]

System: [He wanted the imperial power. Xue Yili took him by his side and taught him carefully. His ambition grew. He thought that Xue Yili was not much older than him, and he was worried that he would never ascend to the throne until his death, so he wanted to kill the king and usurp the throne.]

Ji Jinyou turned his head to look at Xue Yili, and asked again: [Didn’t they say that Brother Ali is cunning, can see through people’s hearts, and doesn’t trust anyone? How could he still fall into the trap of Xue Shanyuan? ]

System: [Xue Yili himself didn't want to live anymore, so Xue Shanyuan was the one who killed him.]

Ji Jinyou glanced at Xue Yili who was calmly reading the memorial and asked in confusion: [What do you mean?]

System answer: [In the original plot, Cong'an, whom Xue Yili regarded as his brother, died, his mother, Concubine Yun, also died, and his maternal family, the Yun family, was also confiscated and exterminated, leaving him alone.]

[He only had resentment and hatred towards this world. He ascended the throne by slaughtering the Dayao Palace with blood, avenging Concubine Yun and the Yun family. Afterwards, he destroyed Dasheng and threw the thirteenth prince to feed the fish, avenging Cong'an. After that, he felt that life was meaningless, so he chose a successor and prepared to give up the throne.]

Ji Jinyou asked: [Why did he choose such a vicious person? Did he make a mistake? ]

System answer: [It is not a mistake. A kind person cannot be an emperor. A person who is too kind cannot be an emperor. Xue Yili knew clearly that Xue Shanyuan was just like him, cruel and ruthless. However, Xue Shanyuan was a man of both literary and military skills, and could be said to be a suitable candidate for the emperor. That is why Xue Yili chose him.]

So that's how it is. Ji Jinyou asked again: [Now that everything has deviated from the original plot, and Brother Ali hasn't chosen a successor, what is Xue Shanyuan doing? ]

System: [Two years ago, Xue Yili arranged him to work in the Dali Temple. Because of his meticulousness and success in solving many major cases, Xue Yili promoted him to the rank of Dali Temple Shaoqing at the beginning of this year.]

Ji Jinyou was still a little worried: [Will he still have the intention of usurping the throne and harming Brother Ali? ]

System answer: [Normally, he shouldn't. In the original plot, he was close to the center of power and had the opportunity to kill the king. But now, he is just a Dali Temple official who is busy judging cases all day long. He is too far away from the imperial power and should not have such an idea.]

[Besides, Xue Yili is also very different from the original plot. Concubine Yun, the Yun family, and Cong'an are all fine. He is in high spirits as the emperor and is working hard to realize his ambitions. How could he be killed so easily?]

Ji Jinyou thought so too, felt relieved, leaned back on the pillow, and continued flipping through the storybook.

Xue Yili saw that the girl and Tongtong had stopped talking, so he put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, walked over, sat opposite her, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked casually, "What kind of prince consort do you want to find, Youyou?"

Ji Jinyou stopped flipping through the book and looked at Xue Yili: "I don't know either, but she has to be good-looking anyway."

Xue Yili smiled: "Anything else?"

Ji Jinyou thought for a moment and replied, "Anyway, it can't be someone like my father who is a playboy. It would be best if she were like my elder brother, who only married my elder sister-in-law and was devoted to her."

Xue Yili nodded: "Got it."

Ji Jinyou put down the notebook and glared at Xue Yili: "Brother Ali, you know what's the use."

Xue Yili reached across the table and touched Ji Jinyou's head, smiling and saying, "You will definitely find it."

Ji Jinyou sighed in frustration: "But I have grown up and seen so many men, but only my brothers, under the guidance of my eldest brother, have only one wife. Apart from them, which man doesn't have concubines and maids?"

Xue Yili said seriously: "In my lifetime, I will only marry one wife."

Ji Jinyou sat up straight, resting his arms on the table, and said in surprise: "You are the prince, and you will be the emperor in the future. I don't believe it."

Xue Yili asked with amusement: "Your elder brother is also the crown prince and will inherit the throne in the future. Why do you trust him but not me?"

Ji Jinyou shook his head: "...That's right."

Xue Yili asked: "Then can you trust me?"

Ji Jinyou nodded: "I believe it."

Xue Yili smiled and rubbed the little girl's head: "That's good."

Ji Jinyou struck while the iron was hot and asked Xue Yili when he planned to get married, but that guy was so unserious that he even said he would listen to her. She got so angry that she ran back to the palace where she lived.

When her attempts to urge the marriage failed, Ji Jinyou recalled the earnest look Concubine Yun gave her and felt very ashamed of her trust. She felt a little embarrassed to see Concubine Yun for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she left the palace and went directly to the Yun family to find Yun Yao.

When Concubine Yun Gui learned that Ji Jinyou had left the palace, she called her son over and asked him directly, "Ali, tell the truth to your mother, do you have feelings for Youyou?"

Xue Yili was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Concubine Yun Gui really liked Ji Jinyou and had actually had this idea a long time ago. However, for so many years, the two of them had treated each other as brother and sister, so she did not dare to mention it, for fear that it would not work out in the end and the two children would be separated again.

Hearing this, she was delighted, clapped her hands and laughed, saying "good" three times, and then asked, "Have you told Youyou?"

Xue Yili was a little uncomfortable with his mother's excitement and lowered his eyes: "Not yet."

Concubine Yun was puzzled: "Why did Youyou leave the palace?"

Xue Yili: "He said he wanted to see what Yun Yao's fiancé looks like."

Concubine Yun found it funny: "It's just the nature of a child."

After the excitement, Concubine Yun calmed down. Thinking of the doting of the entire Dasheng royal family on Ji Jinyou and the relationship between the two countries in the past years, she couldn't help but sigh and asked, "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. What are your plans? Do you want to ask Emperor Wen Zhao for marriage directly?"

Xue Yili thought for a moment, his expression solemn, and said, "I have my own plan, so please don't tell Youyou yet, mother."

"Don't worry, mother will pretend that you know nothing and won't tell anyone." Concubine Yun patted Xue Yili's arm and said.

Her son is already grown up, and this is the first time he has a girl he likes, and she is such a good girl, Youyou. Naturally, she will not interfere to avoid ruining her son's affairs.

Concubine Yun started to worry, "The Emperor and Empress of Dasheng would definitely not want Youyou to marry so far away. I'm afraid Youyou must agree to this first. If she doesn't want to, it will be difficult to accomplish."

Xue Yili nodded, his expression serious: "I understand."

Ji Jinyou stayed in the Yun Mansion for two days and attended a chrysanthemum viewing banquet with Yun Yao. At the banquet, she met Yun Yao's future fiancé Gu Ciyuan.

Yun Yao, who had always been impetuous and carefree, suddenly turned into a gentle and quiet woman the moment she saw Gu Ciyuan. She even spoke in a lower voice. The contrast was so great that Ji Jinyou was astonished. However, in front of so many people, Ji Jinyou had to suppress the shock in her heart.

It was not until they got on the return carriage that she teased Yun Yao enough, and Yun Yao was so angry that she cornered her in a corner of the carriage and tickled her. Ji Jinyou laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she shouted "Sister, I was wrong" in a loud voice, and only then did Yun Yao let her go.

The carriage was so big that the two girls had to squeeze together and whisper to each other. Yun Yao looked at Ji Jinyou, who looked like a peach blossom, and asked with a smile: "Youyou, what kind of man do you like?"

Ji Jinyou blurted out: "Handsome."

Yun Yao pinched her face and said, "Do you only look at the face?"

Ji Jinyou dodged her hand and said confidently, "We have to spend our whole lives together. It's comfortable to look at a handsome guy."

Yun Yao was tickled by her righteous look and said, "How handsome does he have to be?"

Ji Jinyou: "I don't know either, I just want to be handsome."

Speaking of handsome, Yun Yao immediately thought of her cousin, the prince. She looked at Ji Jinyou's incredibly beautiful face and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She immediately felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven.

Her eyes lit up, and she hugged Ji Jinyou's arm and whispered, "Youyou, the most handsome man in the world is my cousin. How about you marry my cousin and be my sister-in-law?"

Ji Jinyou was stunned for a moment, then reached out to hit Yun Yao: "I treat Brother A Li as my own brother, what nonsense are you talking about."

Yun Yao giggled and dodged: "You two are not blood relatives, what's the problem? If you marry him, we can see each other often."

Ji Jinyou felt that Yun Yao had ruined the brother-sister relationship between her and Xue Yili, so she reached out to cover her mouth, "Shut up, Brother Ali will beat you if he finds out."

Seeing that Ji Jinyou was really annoyed, Yun Yao quickly bowed and begged for mercy, and the two little girls laughed and made a noise together.

In the next few days, Yun Yao took Ji Jinyou around the city and had fun everywhere.

Seeing that the little girl was taking a long time to return to the palace, Xue Yili sent Cong'an to pick her up personally. Ji Jinyou thought that she had not paid her respects to Concubine Yun for many days, so she followed Cong'an back to the palace.

She didn't expect that Xue Yili was waiting for her at the palace gate. She walked over happily.

But as she got closer and looked at Xue Yili's handsome face, she suddenly remembered the joke Yun Yao had made, and suddenly a sense of awkwardness arose in her heart.

When Xue Yili habitually reached out to hold her, she shook his hand away as if she was burned.
