Princess Pingnan sneered, "Don't worry, I'll make you wish you were dead."
"I'm giving back everything you put on Xian'er."
Lin Xiuyan smiled broadly and said, "It seems that besides Ye Jingxian, Your Highness also has a son and a daughter?"
Princess Pingnan's expression changed slightly, and Lin Xiuyan winked at her and said, "Then you must be very careful."
It's just making threats, anyone can do that!
Lin Xiuyan is clear about right and wrong and will not take her anger out on others because of the Princess of Pingnan's wickedness.
She wouldn't lay a hand on the Princess Consort of Pingnan's children unless they provoked her.
But if they dare to lay a hand on her, then I'm sorry.
Lin Xiuyan helped Ye Junfei out, and the Princess Consort of Pingnan's face had turned extremely ugly.
Overall, today's ceremony went fairly smoothly.
Even if Princess Pingnan felt that Lin Xiuyan's bowing posture was not standard or her movements were not proper, she could not reprimand Lin Xiuyan in front of others.
She also had to maintain her gentle and charitable persona in public, which made her feel even more frustrated.
During the festival, she had already come up with dozens of plans to kill Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan was completely indifferent to the Princess Consort of Pingnan's feelings; after all, a glance couldn't kill.
When it comes to getting angry, whoever gets angry suffers.
She inexplicably felt that she had once again taken advantage of the Princess Consort of Pingnan today.
What a happy day!
Lin Xiuyan felt that this Dragon Boat Festival was of extraordinary significance.
When the ceremony ended, the Prince of Pingnan glanced at Ye Junfei and saw that he looked pale, which made him feel much better.
Today's ceremony, arranged by the Prince of Pingnan, will last at least half an hour longer than usual, which he deliberately did to annoy Ye Junfei.
This little beast has taken a piece of his flesh this time, how could he let this little beast get away with it?
As Ye Junfei descended the last step, he swayed, and Zong Zheng, who was beside him, quickly supported him.
He said weakly, "Thank you, Uncle."
Seeing that his face was really bad, Zongzheng said gently, "You've suffered such a serious injury, go back and rest well."
Ye Junfei gave a wry smile and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle, but I'm afraid my father won't agree."
Upon hearing this, Zongzheng turned to look at the Prince of Pingnan and sighed softly, "After all, you didn't grow up by your father's side..."
"Spend more time talking to your father when you have free time. Relationships between people are built through interaction."
Ye Junfei thanked him politely and said softly, "I will listen to my great-uncle, but..."
He didn't say what he meant next, but Zongzheng understood what he meant.
The Prince of Pingnan harbored deep resentment towards Ye Junfei. This time, Ye Junfei's desperate counterattack, injuring Ye Jingxian, further fueled the Prince of Pingnan's dislike for Ye Junfei. (cascoo.net)
Zongzheng felt a surge of anger, thinking that the Prince of Pingnan was becoming increasingly left-leaning in his actions.
Why abandon such an excellent son and insist on supporting that useless Ye Jingxian?
He previously thought that although Ye Jingxian's abilities were not strong, he could still be a capable prince who maintained the status quo.
But now, with Ye Junfei as a foil, Ye Jingxian is completely overshadowed.
Zong Zheng cursed the Prince of Pingnan in his heart: "He's chewing on a piece of stinky dog shit so sweetly, treating it like a treasure."
"To discard a true treasure like a worn-out broom is utterly foolish!"
He was filled with helplessness. After all, the Prince of Pingnan was the Prince of Liefeng Prefecture. Even if the Imperial Clan Secretary was his own uncle, he could not directly contradict the Prince of Pingnan in front of others.
He could only say to Ye Junfei, "The Emperor wants to abolish the feudal system, which is very unfavorable for the Pingnan Prince's Mansion."
"At this time, it is not advisable to fight among ourselves. The young master should find a way to get along peacefully with the second young master."
Ye Junfei said softly, "Uncle is right. I want to get along well with my second brother, but he is unwilling."
"Actually, I have always regretted it. If I had known that the person leading the troops was my second brother that day, I would never have used such a heavy hand."
He felt a little regretful; there were too few people at the time, and it would have been much easier to just kill them directly.
Zongzheng knew how difficult things were for Ye Junfei, so he took a deep breath and said, "I will also try to persuade your father about this matter."
Ye Junfei thanked him again.
After he and Zongzheng parted ways, the Prince of Pingnan came to see him make a fool of himself: "He was so badly injured, why didn't he rest properly and instead came to join in the fun?"
"You must be suffering terribly from your injuries now, right? You're so greedy for power and profit; you deserve to be in this state!"
Ye Junfei wiped his face and said, "Father is right. People who are seriously injured deserve to stay in bed. They deserve it."
"Those with minor injuries should relieve Father's worries. Thank you for your concern, Father."
When the Prince of Pingnan met his eyes, he saw that there was no trace of fatigue or haggardness on his face.
The Prince of Pingnan immediately realized that his previous demeanor was all an act.
The Prince of Pingnan cursed inwardly, "You little beast!"
He turned and left with a dark expression.
Ye Junfei said gently, "Father, please be careful not to slip and fall, there are steps here."
Before he could finish speaking, the Prince of Pingnan felt a numbness in his calf, his foot slipped, and he lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground.
In an instant, all eyes turned to him.
At this moment, many people who had come to participate in the ceremony had not yet moved. Hearing the commotion, they all turned their heads and looked over, then their eyes widened.
They never imagined that their high and mighty king would fall.
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Prince Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"
He turned to look at Ye Junfei, whose face was pale and who called out weakly, "Father, are you alright?"
He looked like a gust of wind could blow him over.
Despite Ye Junfei's shouts, he showed no intention of helping the Prince of Pingnan.
The attendants beside him hurriedly helped the Prince of Pingnan to his feet. Once he was steady, he looked coldly at Ye Junfei: "You did this?"
Ye Junfei seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and his body swayed: "The last time Father tested my abilities, he accidentally injured me seriously."
"So, is Father's fall this time a test of my filial piety?"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Ye Junfei sighed softly, "Please forgive me, Father. I am seriously injured and have no strength to help you."
"I simply cannot pass this test regarding filial piety."
The Prince of Pingnan was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. When he was going down the steps, he clearly felt someone hit him with a stone.
Having made such a fool of himself, he was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so he left with a cold face.
Ye Junfei ignored the Prince of Pingnan and sat down to wait for Lin Xiuyan to come over.
During the festival, men and women were separated into two altars.
Lin Xiuyan arrived a little late, and there was some blood on her clothes. He was somewhat surprised: "What happened to you?"
Before Lin Xiuyan could answer, Ye Junfei saw Ye Mingzhu covered in blood.
