Pei Yejin: ...
This question stumped him.
How could he possibly know the reason why Wei Cunqing didn't choose Ye Xiao!
He was just a small general in the Prince of Zhennan's Palace. How could Wei Cunqing tell him all this?
His only contact with Wei Cunqing was when he served as a vanguard with Wei Cunqing and attacked Minzhou City.
After the fall of Minzhou City, he almost never saw Wei Cunqing.
"I don't know, Your Highness, please...please don't make things difficult for me." Pei Yejin begged for mercy.
He was really afraid of this little girl Ye Xiao, and he never wanted to take on the task of protecting Ye Xiao again!
"I still can't understand why my cousin doesn't want me! Pei Yejin! If it were you, would you be willing to marry me?" Ye Xiao changed the subject and suddenly asked a question that Pei Yejin had never thought about.
Pei Yejin stood there in a daze. What did Ye Xiao mean?
she……
"I...I dare not!" Pei Yejin said with a look of panic.
Who doesn’t know that Ye Xiao is Ye Xiaotian’s beloved daughter?
Ye Xiaotian only has this one precious daughter. How could he possibly marry Ye Xiao to a family general?
What's more, he is the descendant of a criminal. If Ye Xiaotian had not chosen him during his exile, he would probably still be doing hard labor in Nanling.
His current status and achievements were all given to him by Ye Xiaotian.
He didn't dare dream of becoming the son-in-law of the Prince of Zhennan, let alone thinking about Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao frowned. Why was he so nervous?
She didn't really ask Pei Yejin to marry her! She was just using a metaphor! Just an analogy!
Pei Yejin wanted to marry her? Dream on! If Ye Xiao wanted to marry, she would marry a noble. Pei Yejin was just a sharp blade trained by his father. How could he be qualified to marry her?
However... apart from his low status, Pei Yejin is barely worthy of her in other aspects.
Pei Yejin has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is the most handsome one among all the generals of his father.
Moreover, he is both civil and military. In civil matters, he can compete with his elder brother, and in martial arts, he is the best among his father's subordinates.
Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have asked Pei Yejin to protect her.
Apart from his status, Pei Yejin is no worse than his cousin in other aspects!
But just because of his identity, Pei Yejin was not in her eyes!
She is the Princess of Zhennan, so her future husband must naturally be a prince or a marquis who is of equal status to her, rather than a small family guard.
"What are you thinking? This princess is just making a metaphor! Do you take it seriously?" Ye Xiao said unhappily.
Pei Yejin was extremely embarrassed. He turned his head uncomfortably, his back to Ye Xiao. "My princess, please return to the carriage and sit tight. I will escort you back to the palace."
Not only did Ye Xiao not return to the carriage and sit down, she sat directly next to Pei Yejin.
"That won't work! Unless you answer this princess's questions properly! If this princess is satisfied, she will naturally agree to go back. Otherwise...
"I want to see how you're going to explain this to your father," Ye Xiao threatened.
If she goes back late, her father will definitely be anxious, and Pei Yejin will be in trouble.
Pei Yejin looked at Ye Xiao helplessly, "What else does the princess want to ask?"
"I told you! If you were my cousin, would you marry me?"
Pei Yejin: ...
But he is not Wei Cunqing! How can he answer for Wei Cunqing?
"But I am not the Seventh Prince, so I cannot answer this question for the Seventh Prince." Pei Yejin frowned.
Ye Xiao blinked. She didn't let Pei Yejin answer for her cousin.
She just let Pei Yejin answer it himself!
How could he be so stupid!
"You! You were able to make couplets with big brother, but you cheated, right? You are so stupid! How can you compare with big brother?" Ye Xiao said angrily.
Pei Yejin did not refute and accepted the training quietly.
As long as Ye Xiao is happy, it doesn't matter if he is scolded.
As long as Ye Xiao can vent her anger, that's enough.
Ye Xiao was angry with the Seventh Prince, so it was normal for her to vent her anger on him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Xiao just sat there motionless and continued to waste time with Pei Yejin.
Pei Yejin really couldn't do anything with her, he could only stammer, "I... I was just, just expressing my thoughts, it has nothing to do with His Highness the Seventh Prince.
If this general... this general would naturally be willing."
When Ye Xiao heard his answer, she smiled triumphantly.
"Why? Why would you be willing to do that?"
Pei Yejin: ...
Is Ye Xiao still not done yet?
After asking one question after another, how long will he finish answering?
"Princess..."
"This is the last question! Once you answer it, I will go back home!" Ye Xiao interrupted Pei Yejin.
Pei Yejin thought about it seriously, "The princess is beautiful and free-spirited, and of noble status. Why would I be unwilling?"
Ye Xiao bit her lip lightly. It seemed that her cousin was blind and did not choose her!
Pei Yejin has much better vision than his cousin!
"Let's go back home!" Ye Xiao was finally satisfied and willing to go back.
Pei Yejin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xiao was finally willing to go back!
…
The next day, the new emperor ascended the throne and Wei Wenyan successfully took the throne.
Wei Cunqing became the regent without any surprise. As for the Prince of Zhenbei and the Prince of Zhennan, they were already princes of different surnames and there was no possibility of their promotion.
Wei Wenyan granted two kings of different surnames an imperial decree to exempt them from death, and the throne was hereditary.
The first thing Wei Wenyan did after ascending the throne was to rehabilitate the deposed crown prince and posthumously confer the title of Emperor Wuwen on him.
Wei Wenyan's aunt Wei Xinru became Princess Ande.
As for those who plotted rebellion against King Ying, they were demoted to low status, stripped of their Wei surnames, and imprisoned for life.
Concubine Yao, who had disrupted the imperial order, was given poisoned wine, the Thirteenth Prince was imprisoned in Taihang Temple, and all the members of the Yao family were exiled to Nanling.
Lin Wenxu came to his senses in time, and after his merits and demerits were offset, he was relieved of all his court posts and demoted to a commoner.
Liu Qin was not surprised to hear the news.
Lin Wenxu turned against his allies at the critical moment and acted like a fence-sitter, so the new emperor naturally wouldn't keep him.
That's it! Lin Wenxu has no hope at all.
"Aunt, I want to go and see him." Lin Yuehong said.
He wanted to meet Lin Wenxu and ask him in person why he wanted to kill him and Rouer.
They are all Lin Wenxu's own flesh and blood, why is he so cruel?
Liu Qin patted his head and said, "Okay! Auntie will take you to see him! You can ask him in person."
Since Lin Yuehong wanted to get to the bottom of it, she would of course support Lin Yuehong.
She also wanted to meet Lin Wenxu, she couldn't let Lin Wenxu leave Kyoto.
How could she torture them now that they had left Kyoto?
She naturally had to keep them so she could have the chance to torture them.
Lin Wenyou is a vengeful person, and she absolutely cannot let him go.
Before, she was afraid of complications, so she didn't dare to be harsh with Lin Wenyou.
It’s different now.
Lin Wenyou is just a wolf with a broken tail, and she can completely destroy Lin Wenyou.
None of the people in the Lin family are innocent, and she absolutely cannot let them go.
Otherwise, she would be in big trouble when they made a comeback.
