Chapter 416 What did she do wrong? She just wanted to survive
Seeing her son's cold attitude towards her, Yan Shu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But she soon cheered up again.
"Fourth Prince, I guess you've been away all these years, so you're so cold to us, right?
However, Concubine Yan has been missing you all these years, and your coldness towards her will hurt her heart."
A woman in gorgeous clothes sat there, looking at Ye Yanqing with a smile, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
Si Nansheng ate the food Ye Yanqing picked for her and looked up at her.
"Your Majesty, I believe your status must be higher than that of Concubine Yan and His Majesty, right?" After swallowing the food in his mouth, Si Nansheng stared at her with innocent eyes.
"Of course not... What do you mean?" The woman looked at Si Nansheng with some horror.
"Oh, from the tone of your voice, I thought you were of a very high status. If you are not of a high status, and Concubine Yan and His Majesty haven't spoken yet, what qualifications do you have to speak?"
Si Nansheng had a decent smile on his face, but what he said made the woman break out in a cold sweat.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to talk about Ye Yanqing to show her face in front of His Majesty, but she forgot her own identity.
What’s abominable is that this little bitch actually dared to expose her like this!
hateful!
It's really hateful!
"Hey, what's with that look in your eyes? You don't want to kill me?" Si Nansheng looked at her eyes full of resentment and pretended to be afraid and hid back.
"Senior Brother, let's leave here. I'm afraid I'll be killed before I finish my meal." Si Nansheng pulled Ye Yanqing's sleeve pitifully.
"Okay, let's go now." Ye Yanqing said as he was about to get up.
"Get out of here!" The Emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
The concubine who had just accused Ye Yanqing of hurting Yan Shu's heart was directly driven out.
Before leaving, she looked at Si Nansheng unwillingly.
This is the Overlord Dynasty. Since you dare to plot against her, just leave your body here!
Si Nansheng naturally noticed her malicious intentions, but she didn't care.
She doesn't take this kind of role seriously.
The emperor must have also seen Si Nansheng's status among these people. He did not say anything to embarrass her, but took the opportunity to chat with Ye Yanqing.
Ye Yanqing answered his questions diligently and responsibly one by one, in a calm tone without any impatience.
Moreover, he was very patient in picking up food for Si Nansheng.
"Senior Brother, although the food here is delicious, how big do you think my belly is?" Si Nansheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Ye Yanqing innocently.
"Pfft~" Mo Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, earning a roll of the eyes from Si Nansheng.
"Big Brother, Junior Sister has eaten a lot on the street. Don't let her eat. If she gets too full, she'll have to ask Fifth Junior Brother to make her some medicine to help digestion."
Mo Lu looked at Ye Yanqing and spoke softly, and the food on Ye Yanqing's chopsticks went directly into his own mouth.
"If you've eaten too much, go out for a walk." To be honest, Ye Yanqing felt that this place was really boring. If this banquet was not set up for him, he would also want to leave.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk. Fourth Brother, you stay here and keep a close eye on the eldest brother. If anyone dares to bully him, you must call me first."
As Si Nansheng stood up, he did not forget to look at Mo Lu and give him some instructions, and Mo Lu nodded.
Si Nansheng bowed to Yan Shu and the emperor, then turned and left, with Bai Ye and Mo Yu following behind her.
Yan Shu looked at Si Nansheng's leaving figure, then looked at Ye Yanqing's gaze fixed on Si Nansheng, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Seeing how much Ye Yanqing cared about Si Nansheng, she had the idea that Ye Yanqing liked Si Nansheng.
But Yanshu didn't like Si Nansheng very much. She felt that her son would completely turn against her because of this woman.
Moreover, what is the identity of her son?
How could the fourth prince of the dynasty be with a woman who had no status or position?
After the emperor and everyone finished their meal, he told Ye Yanqing and his fellow junior brothers and sisters to stay in the palace, and then he left.
When the others saw that the emperor had left, they naturally left too.
Yan Shu and Ye Yanqing walked to the pavilion in the yard and sat down, watching Si Nansheng, Bai Ye and others who were busy in the yard.
Si Nansheng was sitting on Wen Luoya's shoulder at this time, reaching out to pick flowers from the tree.
Ye Yanqing just sat there and watched them quietly.
"She is not suitable for you." Yan Shu spoke softly, letting Ye Yanqing look away.
"What... did you say?" Ye Yanqing looked at her in confusion.
What doesn't suit him?
"Your junior sister is not suitable for you. She cannot be your Taoist partner, nor can she become the Fourth Prince's consort." Yan Shu looked at Ye Yanqing seriously.
Ye Yanqing didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly.
"Didn't you see? She treats you and your fellow apprentices with no sense of distance. They're so close to each other. If someone saw this, they'd probably laugh at you behind your back."
Yan Shu looked at Ye Yanqing seriously, hoping that Ye Yanqing would listen to her advice.
Ye Yanqing saw her serious eyes and the look of determination to win, and a trace of trance flashed through his mind.
Is this his mother?
You make assumptions without even understanding the most basic situation?
"Can I ask you a question?" Ye Yanqing looked at her and asked.
"What?"
"Back then, you had no choice but to send me away. Was it really for me?" Ye Yanqing's words made her look stunned.
"Yan Qing, what do you mean by this?" Yan Shu looked at Ye Yanqing in disbelief. She didn't expect that her son would ask such a question.
"I still remember that when my brother died, you cried very sadly, but you only cried sadly in front of His Majesty.
I was very young at that time and could do nothing, but I can't forget that you were sad in front of His Majesty, but ignored me, so much so that someone attacked me again and again.
Later, you suddenly sent me away. I didn't feel any reluctance from you, but I saw the light of success in your eyes.
Ye Yanqing looked into Yan Shu's eyes and spoke slowly. Yan Shu was obviously a little flustered. She wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Yanqing who raised his hand.
"Do you know why I haven't come back once in all these years? Because I came back once.
After my master brought me back to the Four Gods Sect, I missed you so much and cried every day. My master had no choice but to bring me back to see you. Do you know what I saw?
Seeing you in your bedroom with perfect makeup and gorgeous clothes.
You said that my departure would make His Majesty care about you more and feel more sorry for you, and that is my value."
Ye Yanqing's words made Yan Shu freeze. She might have forgotten these words, but she didn't expect that Ye Yanqing still remembered them.
Moreover, she didn't expect that Ye Yanqing would come back to find her after leaving.
But she didn't mean to say that. As a woman, life in the palace is already precarious. She has to plan for herself, doesn't she?
What did she do wrong? She just wanted to survive!
