On the second day after the Chinese Valentine's Day, Ye An received news from the Ye Mansion. Mu Li sent him a letter saying that she had decided to enter the palace and asked him not to worry about it anymore. Ye An felt very upset. Was he really going to marry A Li?
Ali is still just a teenager and has family around him, so it's normal for him to accept his fate. He can only refuse unilaterally... The question is, what should he do?
Tell the Queen Mother that he thinks Ranmei is very good and is no longer interested in Master Mu, so Mu Li does not need to enter the palace?
The Queen Mother will definitely tear his head off, and Ran Mei will also become a thorn in the Queen Mother's side...
Then why not just make a big fuss at the talent show and deliberately not choose Mu Li?
It was inevitable that the Queen Mother would be angry, but according to his understanding of the Queen Mother, rather than getting angry at him, the Queen Mother should be more worried about how to appease Mu Taifu... Ye An knew that Mu Ci had been transferred back to the imperial city from the border and had not yet been officially granted an official position, so he would compensate Brother Mu with an important official position to increase the power of the Taifu. In this way, the situation in the court would change. If no one from the Taifu family entered the palace, it would make the Grand Master and the Grand Empress Dowager feel more at ease...
The responsibility of refusing Mu Li to enter the palace must fall on him, so that the Taifu family will not be blamed, and even if the Queen Mother is angry, she will still help him in the end... It doesn't matter even if he is beaten afterwards.
In modern times, he had never encountered political schemes. At most, he was a little clever. He had never used his brain like this since he traveled through time. In order to get this done, he buried himself in Huanhua Hall and forgot to eat and sleep. If there were any similar records in this dynasty, it would be great to use them as a reference. As for the official position that he wanted to give to Brother Mu, he didn't know much about the official positions in this dynasty...
Ye An was so anxious that he fell asleep while reading a book.
He had a dream that he could not prevail against the Queen Mother, and Mu Li finally became his concubine.
The overwhelming red silk wrapped him up like a dumpling. Mu Li, wearing wedding clothes and a big red veil on his head, said excitedly: "Xiao An, it turns out that you are the emperor. That's great. This palace is worth it. I can fuck you without any worries!"
But I don’t want to at all, I always consider you as a friend!
Ye An screamed in horror, but no sound came out of his mouth. He wanted to turn around and run away, but his body walked towards Mu Li uncontrollably. He raised his hand to pick up the wedding scale and lifted Mu Li's veil.
That scene must be so beautiful that Ye An would not dare to watch it even if he died.
He closed his eyes and stood there blankly. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. The noisy Mu Li also stopped talking. After a long time, someone whispered, "Xiao An."
Ye An trembled all over. This voice was...
"Brother Mu?"
Mu Ci is here too... Is he here to escort Mu Li to the palace?
Ye An secretly opened his closed eyes and found that Mu Li was gone, replaced by Mu Ci, who was wearing wedding clothes and standing quietly facing him.
"Brother Mu, why are you..."
Ye An was dumbfounded. How did Mu Li become Mu Ci?
Mu Ci said gently, "Xiao An, if you don't want to marry A-Li, are you willing to marry Brother Mu?"
Ye An didn't care how Mu Ci came here, and said quickly: "Of course I am willing! But..."
He choked up and said, "But aren't you going to marry Sister Jiang Jing?"
Because of this, his tears were flowing like a river.
Mu Ci smiled: "How about not being with others, just with you?"
"Brother Mu, so you are here to marry on behalf of others?"
Ye Xiaoan was so moved that he hugged his elder brother Mu and cried loudly, wetting a large area of Mu Ci's wedding dress. After crying, she felt a little embarrassed. She blushed and pulled Mu Ci's sleeve and said, "Brother Mu, your clothes are dirty. Change them quickly."
But I couldn't find any clean clothes.
Ye An suddenly had an idea: "Why not take it off? It won't be dirty if you take it off!"
Mu Ci: “…Yeah.”
The next scene was even more beautiful than the previous one. Brother Mu took off his clothes and then took off his clothes, peeling him like peeling a tea egg.
What to do, Brother Mu is really going to fuck him!
Ye An was both happy and conflicted. He tossed and turned on the wedding bed, and was unwilling to say no.
…
Ye An woke up with a dazed look on his face. He wiped the saliva that had flowed down his cheeks and wanted to savor the taste of Mu Ci's lips in his dream, but suddenly he felt something sticky and uncomfortable underneath.
"Oh no, I wasn't paying attention..."
Ye An was too embarrassed to call for help, so he frantically searched for a handkerchief, cleaned himself up, and collapsed into a chair.
It was just a dream, a spring dream without a trace. After the excitement in the dream, only endless melancholy remained.
Why didn’t Brother Mu enter the palace? If he ran to the Queen Mother and said he wanted Brother Mu, it would be easier than not having anyone at all. If Brother Mu entered the palace instead, everything would be solved.
...But he knew very well that he couldn't.
Mu Ci and Jiang Jing are a couple. Mu Ci is the eldest son of the Grand Tutor, and he is not an ordinary person who can be brought back to the palace by the Queen Mother as she said before. And most importantly, Mu Ci does not want to enter the palace at all.
Ye An felt somewhat disheartened. This dream exposed all his wishful thinking, but it was impossible to realize it.
He was obviously in a bad mood these days. All the servants around him were warned by Li Yao to be extra careful. Only when he went to Ruixuexuan to exchange Ranmei for leaving the palace did his expression ease a little. But Ranmei offered to replace him, but he refused.
It seemed that he had no reason to leave the palace for the time being.
July 16th is the Qianqiu Festival, the original body’s birthday. The original body looked exactly like him, but it was unknown whether their birthdays were the same, because the lunar calendar was used in ancient times, making it difficult to compare. This "strange" day still gave Ye An a hint of birthday joy.
Because he had lost his memory, many things were handled by the empress dowager, including the Qianqiu Festival. The empress dowager said that a banquet would be held in the palace in the name of the emperor on that day, and he only needed to attend and accept congratulations from princes and ministers. Having been free these days, Ye An has tried to handle some small matters by himself and has made some progress. With Li Yao by his side to give some pointers on etiquette, he believes that there will be no trouble.
However, he underestimated the number of people who came to congratulate him. The Hua'e Tower, which was used for the banquet, was packed with people. Of course, only a handful of people could sit in the front row. Below the dragon throne, on the left were Grand Tutor Yang, Grand Tutor Mu, and Grand Guardian Qiao. Past the three dukes were Prime Minister Yuan, as well as the General of the Cavalry and others. On the right were the royal relatives.
"Long live the emperor."
Princess Fuqing was dressed in a palace dress with flowers and butterflies on, with a little makeup on, looking bright and beautiful. She held a baby in her arms and bowed respectfully.
Ye An still remembered the princess, so he ordered someone to show her a seat, and said with a smile, "Sister, you look much better."
Princess Fuqing nodded slightly. The emperor used to be gloomy, but now he has become much more cheerful and is very friendly to her. The princess is very happy.
Ye An called the eldest princess closer and looked down at the boy in her arms - his nephew whom he had met once in Changle Palace. The little boy used to be dark, ugly and wrinkled, but when he grew up he looked like a fairy boy walking out of a New Year picture, with a bun on his head, fair skin, slightly chubby cheeks, and arms and hands stretched out like lotus roots.
Life is truly magical. Ye An couldn't help but hook the child's hand and tease him. The child was not afraid of strangers. He laughed non-stop when he saw Ye An, and there was a faint scent of milk on his body.
Ye An couldn't help but sigh: "Is it very hard for the emperor sister?"
Princess Fuqing was stunned for a moment, then she remembered the Queen Mother's previous entrustment, understood and said with a smile: "Although it is hard, it is the nature of mother and son, and we are willing to do it."
Ye An nodded. He had to admit that children were innocent and cute. If giving birth was not painful, he might actually consider it.
At this time, Li Yao came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Dongling is here."
In preparation for this banquet, Ye An also did his homework privately and gained some understanding of the royal family members. However, it is limited to written records. The previous emperor had four princes. The eldest prince was King of Huainan. The second prince, King of Pingyang, had passed away. Ye An was the third prince, and he had a younger brother, King of Dongling, who was only one year younger than Ye An.
When the emperor passes away, all the kings must rush back to the imperial city from their fiefdoms to offer congratulations as per custom. This year, the King of Huainan took sick leave and did not come, so he only sent a valuable gift. The King of Dongling arrived early in the morning.
It is said that this King Dongling has never done anything serious after he was crowned king. He is good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he especially likes handsome men. There are many concubines in his fiefdom palace, and any zither player or musician is as handsome as Pan An. Even so, King Dongling has gotten tired of them. This time when he came to the imperial city, he was said to be planning to see a few good ones and take them home.
It was the first time that Ye An heard of such a person. After he laughed so hard that he held his belly, he found that apart from their different personalities, his situation was quite similar to that of King Dongling. The only difference was that King Dongling enjoyed it, but he was complaining all the time.
While he was daydreaming, Prince Dongling came running over, called out "Brother Emperor" loudly, and presented a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry as gifts.
Ye An looked at the man's face, which was 80% similar to his own, and knew that this was his adopted younger brother. The King of Dongling's name was Le, so Ye An smiled and called him, "Xiao Le."
I heard that Prince Dongling was not liked by the Queen Mother because of his biological father, but he had a good relationship with the Emperor. Ye An thought about it and felt that this title was not bad.
He was being casual, but it scared Ye Le. The emperor always called him by his name, so when had he ever called him Xiao Le so affectionately?
Prince Dong Ling's way of survival was to maintain a good relationship with the Emperor no matter what. No matter how horrified he was inside, Ye Le did not show it on his face. He blinked his peach blossom eyes, which were similar to Ye An's, and nodded obediently and innocently.
Ye An was mostly curious about his younger brother, so he made small talk and played the role of a good host.
"Xiao Le, what do you think of the Imperial City?"
Ye Le said: "I came back last year during the Qianqiu Festival. The Imperial City hasn't changed much. I didn't go anywhere to play. I just listened to a little song. There are so many handsome men in the Imperial City. I can see two or three just by walking on the street. It's not like in my palace, where there are only a few who are pleasing to the eye..."
Ye An knew Ye Le's unique hobby, but he didn't expect that this person was not shy at all and actually looked at men openly on the street. Ye An was a little worried that King Dongling would suddenly come and forcefully abduct a man.
If Ye An understood King Dongling's character, he probably wouldn't think so. Although Ye Le loves handsome men and has many men around him, it has always been consensual and he never forces anyone.
Ye Le had another important purpose for returning to the imperial city this time. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I have another favor to ask of you. There is still no princess in my mansion. Brother, you have always had a good eye. Can you help me find one?"
Ye Le is asking for an arranged marriage. Ye An had never thought that being an emperor would require a matchmaker. He immediately felt like a matchmaker in heavy makeup. He said, "Xiao Le, tell me what kind of person you like first."
Ye Le's requirements for men have never changed. He counted on his fingers and said seriously, "He must have a good face, a good figure, and good waist strength. I don't care about his temperament."
Ye An: “…”
She has a nice face and a good figure, which can be seen, but what about the waist strength? ?
Ye Le said with a smile: "The son of Master Mu is quite good. I admire him very much. If the emperor can introduce him to me, I will be grateful to him!"
……What? ?
Ye An was so excited that he wanted to jump up: "Xiao Le, are you saying that you are interested in Mu Li?"
Ye An quickly figured it out, this is really a blessing in disguise, suddenly there comes a Ye Le who just happens to look like him, if they bring them together, maybe A Li will like Ye Le and marry him to King Dongling, then he won't have to enter the palace!
Before Ye An could be happy, Ye Le said, "Mu Li? No, my royal brother, I don't like young people. I want to ask for the eldest son of the Grand Tutor, Mu Ci."
What? ?
Ye An slammed the table without thinking and shouted, "No!"
He is my man, you can't take him away!

Ye An, Ye Le.
