Chapter 384 Yun Ran is my granddaughter
This taste is very familiar.
Ye Cangling picked up another piece of fish, put it into his mouth and savored it carefully.
Anian will definitely like this taste.
Since the emperor on the dragon throne didn't speak, no one below dared to speak.
There was silence for a moment, and when Ye Cangling put down his chopsticks again, he slowly said, "This is the taste."
"Yun Ran, right? How old are you this year?"
Yun Ran bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am twelve years old this year."
"Twelve, twelve, the age of a flower." Ye Cangling pondered, "When Zhu Qi entered the palace, he was a little older than you. Zhu Qi, do you recognize him?"
Yun Ran nodded: "Yes, Uncle Zhu taught me a lot, he is half my master."
"No wonder. But it would be a shame to leave your excellent skills outside. Why don't you come to the palace and I can give you an official position?"
These words were spoken so suddenly that not only Yun Ran, but also Ye Jingzhen, Yin Qiu, Yun Chengfu and others were shocked.
If the food is cooked well, just give it a reward. There is no shortage of imperial chefs in the palace, so what is the point of this?
Yun Ran didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head slightly, as if thinking for a moment: "This... I'm afraid I'm going to have to dare to refuse your Majesty's kindness again."
Ye Cangling frowned: "Why is that? If you can't bear to leave your Shanhai Tower, I will allow you to leave the palace at any time to take care of it. You should know that there are many talented people in this palace. You can learn a lot by staying in the palace!"
This seems to imply that she is ungrateful.
"I don't think I have much ability, nor do I have a long-term vision. As long as I can guard a small place like Shanhai Tower every day, it is enough for me."
"What if I insist on keeping you?"
Ye Cangling stared at the girl who was kneeling in front of him with her back straight, her eyes cold and stern.
"Then I can only refuse to the end." Yun Ran's voice was soft and calm, but what he said was unquestionable.
Ye Cangling suddenly clenched his hands, veins popping out on the back of his hands, and threw the teacup in his hand downwards.
Yin Qiu, Yin Qianlan, Yun Chengfu and Yun Chenglu were all worried because the direction was heading towards Yun Ran.
Not to mention whether there is boiling water inside, even if an empty cup hits your face, it will still disfigure you!
Feeling the strong wind coming in front of him, Yun Ran clenched the dragon beard noodles on his wrist.
Anyway, the emperor is already furious, so she should try to stop him first. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.
However, before she could make a move, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, and Ye Jingzhen had already stood up and blocked her way.
Bang!
The teacup struck the hilt of his sword, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.
"Jingzhen!" Ye Cangling roared, his eyes faintly red.
Ye Jingzhen opened and closed his lips, and was about to speak when Yin Qiu beside him stood up and spoke first.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The fire on Ye Cangling's head was flaring. He turned his head and looked at him with an unhappy tone, "Master Yin? What does this have to do with you?"
Yin Qiu bowed and saluted, speaking calmly, "Your Majesty, Yun Ran is my granddaughter."
Ye Cangling: ???
"Ahem," Yin Qiu coughed lightly, then spoke again, full of guilt, "My eldest daughter has been missing for many years, but now she has finally been found. Yun Ran is her precious daughter, the eldest daughter of the Yin family."
"The child has been away from home for many years and has suffered a lot. Now she has finally returned home and has finally settled down in Kuizhou City. I hope Your Majesty will understand and give her a few more years to enjoy the love of her family."
Perhaps the news was too shocking. Ye Cangling was stunned for a long while before he snorted indifferently.
"Hmph, what are you saying, Lord Yin? This is the imperial palace, not a prison. How can Yun Ran not be able to go home just because he entered the palace?"
After he said this, his eyes fell on Ye Jingzhen who was standing in front of Yun Ran, and his face darkened again.
"I rarely see you protecting someone like this."
Ye Jingzhen's expression was indifferent. He simply said, "Today is Father's birthday. I don't want these trivial matters to disturb Father's interest."
"I'm in a good mood," Ye Cangling frowned, "It's this girl who doesn't know what's good for her!"
Seeing how dark his face was, Ye Jingzhen secretly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, not relaxing his guard at all.
Ye Cangling frowned and stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Forget it, forget it. You two are all running here to plead for this girl. If I insist on holding on to you, it will seem like I'm being mean to a little girl."
"Go on with the music, and don't mention this matter again."
As soon as he finished speaking, several singing girls playing the pipa twisted their slender waists and stepped onto the red carpet in the center of the hall, playing music and dancing as if no one was around.
Yun Ran took advantage of this opportunity to pull Jiu Yue back.
Before turning around and leaving, she vaguely felt that Ye Jingzhen seemed to secretly reach out and hook her little finger.
However, the feeling was too subtle and she couldn't be sure.
After this little episode, Ye Cangling continued to drink and chat happily with several princes and nobles, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion. He had never done anything to force anyone or to get angry in public.
In the seats below, almost half of the court officials were intrigued by Yin Qiu's words. They surrounded Yin Qiu and enthusiastically inquired about Yin Qianlan, congratulating him on finally finding his daughter.
Yun Ran's identity was revealed by Yin Qiu, so she had to return to the seat next to her mother Yin Qianlan. Jiu Yue stood not far behind her politely.
Little Dumpling Yun Chengxi was already seven years old. Normally, boys and girls should sit at separate tables, but when he saw Yun Ran sitting next to his mother, he quietly ran away from Yin Qiu and slipped over to the girls' table.
There were many guests in the hall, and no one paid attention to him.
He ran to Yun Ran, raised his rosy little face and looked at Yun Ran, then held the small bowl in his arms and handed it to Yun Ran like a treasure.
Yun Ran looked down and saw half a bowl of peeled shrimps, each one crystal clear and stacked together.
"Sister, this is for you to eat. I peeled it." Yun Chengxi smiled sweetly at her.
Yun Ran looked at his round and cute face and her hands started itching to touch him.
Although he pinched his little face a lot when he was a child, he still wants to pinch it now.
So she rubbed her hands, and her watery eyes curved into crescents.
"Hehe, Chengxi is cute again, come and let your sister pinch your little face!"
It feels elastic and soft, just like the shrimps that Yun Chengxi peeled for her. It feels smooth and dense, so satisfying!
Just as Yun Ran was busy bullying his little brother, he felt a gaze coming from the side.
She frowned slightly and looked up, only to see that Ye Jingzhen had left the table at some point, glanced at her, and then walked out of the hall.
Yun Ran stopped rubbing Yun Chengxi's face and tapped him lightly on the forehead: "Chengxi and mother eat first, sister is going out for a while."
