Nangong Ye knew since he was a child that his brother was a domineering person and no one could or dared to snatch food from his mouth.
But this time it's different.
"A Ming and Jian Yu'er are not simple characters that you can easily place. Even if you are the crown prince, you can't have both of them." This is a fact, and even the crown prince cannot refute it.
Nangong Xuan looked down at his brother. Nangong Ye's expression was so serious, and in his seriousness, he couldn't hide his nervousness at all. He sneered, "You know what she said, as long as she can marry me, it doesn't matter if she is not my principal wife."
Nangong Ye's feet almost lost their balance. Even though he was shocked and furious, he remained calm and sneered, "Even if Ah Ming said so, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will never agree to let the eldest daughter of the family be a concubine. Besides, even if Ah Ming said so, that was in the past. Now, she has accepted my bracelet. My brother should understand what this means."
How could Nangong Xuan not understand this, but he did not think about it carefully because of Yan Yiming's words at the beginning. Now that Nangong Ye had exposed it mercilessly, Nangong Xuan's suppressed anger was ignited again. He approached Nangong Ye step by step and questioned in a deep voice,
"My mother said that you had tried very hard to get the pair of bracelets from her, and she said that she didn't know which girl you had set your eyes on. I thought my good brother had finally come to his senses, but I never thought that you would dare to set your sights on me. Who gave you the courage? I almost forgot to ask you when you had such thoughts, and how did you know that Jian Yu'er told you?"
Nangong Xuan was the crown prince, and his aura was so strong and oppressive that Xiao Pingguo, who had been peeking, felt that the hairs on her body were exploding. Although Nangong Ye looked a little unnatural, he was not flustered at all and chuckled.
"Of course Ah Ming wouldn't say it. If I hadn't happened to hear Ah Ming and Jian Yu'er's conversation, I wouldn't have known that my brother had fallen in love with Miss Jian, nor would I have known that Ah Ming had been bullied by my brother to such an extent. My brother asked me when I fell in love. I don't remember clearly, but it was probably when Ah Ming had never said that she liked my brother. Logically speaking, I knew her earlier than my brother."
"You bastard! How dare you!"
Nangong Xuan thought that he had just recently developed lustful thoughts, but he never imagined that he had been hiding these thoughts for so long.
Nangong Xuan suddenly seemed to understand. Nangong Ye liked to go to Yan Mansion and play with Donggong the most. No one doubted it because he had a very good relationship with the boys of the Yan family in Yan Mansion and was very close to his brothers. Thinking about it now, it seemed that Yan Yiming was always present whenever Nangong Ye went to the East Palace, and his frequent visits to the Yan family were clearly due to Yan Yiming.
He was kept in the dark by this bastard for so many years!
The guards not far away were silent, and even the old Duke Dingguo who came to persuade them did not dare to step forward. In the silence, Nangong Ye still refused to give in, "My brother is not married, and Ming is not married. She is not my brother's. Why should I not dare?"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"When she only had me in her heart, you ignored her. Now she has decided to give up on you, brother. You can no longer influence her."
Nangong Xuan looked at his younger brother in front of him in astonishment. For the first time, he began to be unsure whether he could really control Yan Yiming.
Xiao Pingguo was so excited that she quickly rushed back to Yan Yiming after receiving the first-line intelligence. Just as she was about to speak, she found that Yan Yiming was lazily lying in the bathtub taking a bath. Her entire body was submerged in the water; only her slender neck and beautiful butterfly bones could be seen. Her messy hair was floating in the water. Little Apple screamed and covered her eyes.
Yan Yiming didn't open his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he heard some noise and chuckled. "Why are you shy? Could it be that your system has gender distinctions?"
"No." He said no but his voice was as small as a mosquito, blocking his vision. Then he asked Yan Yiming, "Host, what were you thinking about just now?"
"Me," Yan Yiming's voice was slightly hoarse, perhaps because he was soaking too comfortably, and his lazy tone was almost like seduction, "I was wondering what my little general looks like."
Reality is always different from games. Yan Yiming has met two of the four male protagonists, and the remaining two are Jiang Yi and Shao Jingyu. After meeting Nangong Xuan and Jian Yuxian, I found that Nangong Xuan is extremely handsome, while Jian Yuxian has a delicate appearance like a jade-faced young man. Both of them have first-class good looks, so it is inevitable that I would be curious about what my favorite Shao Jingyu looks like.
Her host was taking a bath and thinking about what Shao Jingyu looked like. Little Apple suddenly felt her face getting hot. "Of course he is very beautiful. You will see him when you conquer him later. But our main task now is Nangong Xuan!"
"That's all I said," Yan Yiming sighed, "I've been watching for so long, what's the excitement you've seen?"
Little Apple then quickly returned to normal, and narrated everything she had just seen in a very emotional voice, adding her own comments, "Host, you have successfully transformed a domineering and infatuated emperor into a scumbag."
"To be able to evolve into a scumbag, one must have the potential to be a scumbag. A relationship that can be interfered with is never true love. It seems that Nangong Xuan doesn't feel that way about Jian Yuer... No, logically speaking, Jian Yuer is the one who interfered, right?"
Little Apple was confused by what he said, "Really?"
"Yes," Yan Yiming nodded, "Don't interrupt me, just continue."
Little Apple didn't understand but continued her speech. Although Yan Yiming thought it was a bit funny that Little Apple imitated Nangong Xuan's "bastard" with a slightly thin metallic voice, for the sake of his own little system's face, he coughed twice and tried hard not to laugh. Especially when he heard Nangong Ye's last words, Yan Yiming laughed.
"He looked calm but was actually very nervous. He pretended to be so serious. This child is so cute that I couldn't bear to lie to him." Yan Yiming sighed as he unconsciously wrote on the edge of the bathtub with his fingers. "I am a good person."
Little Apple automatically ignored the last sentence. She had just seen that Nangong Ye was not weak at all in momentum, and in the end he left the prince speechless. Why did she panic?
"Flustered? Of course he is panicking, but he is not afraid of Nangong Xuan, after all, Nangong Xuan is his biological brother," Yan Yiming said, "It's just that Miss Yan was too stubborn about the prince before. Nangong Ye said firmly, but he was also afraid that I would turn back because the prince's attitude softened. Women are always emotional when it comes to feelings, especially Miss Yan who loves the prince to the bone. If you don't believe it, Xiaowu will definitely come to the Yan Mansion early tomorrow morning. How about making a bet?"
"What to bet on?" Little Apple was eager to try.
Yan Yiming raised his wrist that had turned blue from being pinched by Nangong Xuan, and still had the emerald green jade bracelet on it. "If Nangong Ye really comes tomorrow morning, I'm going to take this bracelet back with me."
“This won’t work!”
"mean."
This is the rule. Little Apple has no choice but to change the bet. "If it really comes, I will increase your chances next time you draw a card!"
This is good, very suitable for Africans like him. Yan Yiming stood up from the bathtub with satisfaction and put on his clothes. After the maids dried their hair and went to bed, Xiao Pingguo remembered that Yan Yiming's wrist had turned purple after being pinched by Nangong Xuan and asked her if she needed treatment.
"No need," Yan Yiming said, half asleep, "Keep it, it might be useful."
Little Apple didn't understand what use a minor injury could be, and she had no time to think about it after she woke up in the morning, because Yan Yiming had just finished dressing up, and Old Lady Yan asked someone to invite Yan Yiming over, saying that the Fifth Prince had come to the Yan Mansion.
Nangong Ye probably didn't sleep well the whole night, but luckily he was young and could withstand the exhaustion, so he came to the Yan Mansion early in the morning and talked about something with Old Lady Yan. When Yan Yiming saw him, he looked tired but still very energetic.
"It's great to be young," Little Apple sighed. Yan Yiming glanced at the air and reminded it, "Remember my probability UP."
"……knew."
At this moment, Yan Yiming seemed to be completely unaware of what had happened yesterday, or that Nangong Ye had come specially to have an argument with Nangong Xuan yesterday. He took the tea set and brewed tea with warm water himself, with his loose clothes and wide sleeves, looking very elegant.
After pouring it, he handed it to Nangong Ye, "Lushan Yunwu was delivered a few days ago... What's wrong? You don't look well. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Why don’t you mention that the emperor came here yesterday? What did they talk about yesterday? Nangong Ye's heart was in a mess. He looked up and met Yan Yiming's concerned eyes. Nangong Ye was slightly stunned, and then he said it out loud.
"A Ming, I heard that the emperor came to the Yan Mansion to visit you yesterday."
Yan Yiming's hand holding the teacup was unsteady for a moment, and the tea soaked his fingers. He smiled and wiped his hands with a towel, and then quickly returned to his original state, "Yes, it was Qi'er who told you again."
Nangong Ye watched her evasive again because of these words, and his heart felt like it was frightened by an ant and was in unbearable pain.
She really still cares about her brother.
Just one sentence could make her lose her composure like this.
The hand holding the teacup tightened involuntarily, Nangong Ye suppressed the discomfort in his heart and forced a smile, "No, I remembered that there were some things I didn't tell you yesterday, so I turned back, and I didn't expect to meet my brother."
Nangong Ye tried to test Yan Yiming's attitude, wanting to see if she cared about the prince's attitude. After waiting for a long time, he heard Yan Yiming ask him, "What did you say?"
Nangong Ye was stunned.
Yan Yiming raised his head, his beautiful eyes staring at him with a smile, "You said you had something to tell me yesterday so you came back specially, what was it?"
Nangong Ye suddenly felt that all the heaviness that had been weighing on his heart just now disappeared completely because of this sentence and this smile.
"Look at you, you are obviously one year younger than Qi'er but much more profound than him." Yan Yiming stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Nangong Ye's slightly frowned brows. "I know what you want to say and what you want to ask. In fact, these are not important. I said that I have decided to give up on him. After so many years, I also want to be better to myself."
Nangong Ye said softly with the corner of his lips, "It should have been done a long time ago."
The touch of the fingers on the forehead was very light, but it felt like touching the tip of the heart, making people so reluctant to let go. Nangong Ye just let Yan Yiming's fingers fall on his cheek, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly, until the footsteps sounded behind him, then he put away this relaxed look.
When he turned around, he realized that this man was actually the manager of the East Palace, and his brows suddenly frowned again.
"Miss Yan, this is the blood-resolving dew that His Highness specially asked me to bring to you, saying that you were injured yesterday..."
Yan Yiming glanced at Nangong Ye from the corner of his eye, pretending not to notice Nangong Ye's smile that had faded away, and said, "Thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness on my behalf. This condensed dew...please take it back with you, but it's just a minor injury, so please take care of it, Your Highness."
this……
The steward could hardly believe his ears. He looked up and saw the expressionless face of the Fifth Prince. He was startled and nodded quickly, then retreated.
After the people left, Yan Yiming looked at Nangong Ye with a smile, "Are you happy?"
Nangong Ye smiled but didn't answer. It seemed that he and Yan Yiming were much closer in an instant. He asked her, "Where are you hurt?"
Yan Yiming lifted his sleeves, revealing an emerald green jade bracelet and a wrist that was still tinged with purple. "It just looks scary, but it doesn't hurt."
Nangong Ye still felt distressed when looking at the fair wrist. He took out a small bottle from somewhere and opened it, which was filled with fragrance.
Yan Yiming was curious, "What is this?"
"My mother was afraid that I would get hurt, so she asked me to carry it with me." Nangong Ye took Yan Yiming's hand and gently applied medicine to her. The boy lowered his head, and Yan Yiming could see his long and thick eyelashes, which were motionless like small fans. He was so focused as if he was doing something very important.
Yan Yiming supported his chin with his other hand and looked at him with his head tilted, his eyes full of smiles.
Young Master Yan, who came from afar to play with his sister and good friend, looked at the two people quietly here from afar, suddenly stopped, thought about it and decided to go to the lake to feed the fish by himself.
At this moment, Nangong Xuan, listening to the steward saying that Yan Yiming had returned all the things, his handsome face had turned cold. He then heard the steward hesitantly say that Nangong Ye was also in Yan's house and behaved intimately with Yan Yiming.
The teacup in his hand suddenly fell over, and the celadon fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, making a suffocating sound.
Little Apple celebrated happily.
"Nangong Xuan's favorability is 70%. Yay!"
