Huaiyao, she wants her to use the long night to bewitch Jiang Lanyue!
But……
Yuan Yao's gaze fell on Yun Chan.
Yun Chan's expression was cold and unreadable.
Yuan Yao hesitated.
For some reason, she felt a little guilty...
In the blink of an eye, Ye Changyou was standing beside her: "Yuan Yao, you've seen me, aren't you happy?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She said irritably, "I'm so happy, I'm overjoyed!"
Ye Changyou glanced around at everyone: "Why are you all looking at me?"
Everyone: "..."
Yun Chan and the others then bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Night Emperor."
Ye Changyou sat down on the cushioned stone bench: "No need for formalities."
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Why didn't the Night Emperor bring his beloved concubine with him when he went to the palace? It would have been more lively if everyone had come together."
After speaking, he looked at Yuan Yao: "Right, little Yao?"
My beloved concubine?
Liang Ziyan?
Ye Changyou glanced at Yuan Yao and replied, "She is not my beloved concubine; she is just an annoying woman."
After speaking, he looked at Yuan Yao: "Yuan Yao, I am thirsty."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She poured a cup of tea and offered it to her with both hands: "Drink up."
Ye Changyou pretended to take a sip of tea before asking, "I was still outside the garden when I heard a commotion inside."
What, you all ganged up on a little girl?
Little girl?
Jiang Lanyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ye Changyou was talking about her.
She bit her lip, her eyes reddened, and she said softly, "Your Majesty the Night Emperor has misunderstood. Sister Yao'er did not bully Yue'er."
Yue'er was worried that Tangyuan would hurt Xiao Musi, so she exclaimed, which startled Tangyuan...
It was Yue'er who did something wrong first, so it's not her fault..."
Sister Yao'er?
Isn't it a group of people?
Ye Changyou looked at Jiang Lanyue, his brows furrowed and his eyes dark: "Since they didn't bully you, why are you crying?"
"Look at you, so pitiful! Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd done something to you."
Jiang Lanyue: "..."
Jiang Lanyue said with a sob in her voice, "The Night Emperor is right."
Ye Changyou nodded: "Don't cry, I hate women crying more than anything in my life!"
Especially those pretentious, tearful women.
If my woman were like that, I would rip out her tongue!
Jiang Lanyue: "..."
Jiang Lanyue sobbed softly.
Ye Changyou said impatiently, "If you still want to cry, go somewhere far away and cry. Come back to me when you're done crying!"
I came to the palace to see Yuan Yao; don't spoil my enjoyment.
Jiang Lanyue was completely unable to cry anymore.
Yuan Yao looked on, clicking her tongue in amazement.
This long, dark night is the nemesis of the little white flower!
He's come at just the right time!
The boys in the garden, due to their different social statuses, were all hesitant to directly say anything about Jiang Lanyue...
But Ye Changyou is thick-skinned, so this kind of thing is perfect for him!
Well done!
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Night Emperor, come, have some tea."
As she spoke, she poured Ye Changyou another cup of tea.
Ye Changyou picked up his teacup: "Yuan Yao, I knew it, you have me in your heart..."
Yuan Yao: "..."
What the heck?
Her nose twitched.
She was clearly pouring tea, but why is there a strong smell of vinegar in the air?
"Splash..."
The sound of a teacup shattering echoed from the pavilion.
Yuan Yao turned her head.
Yun Chan remained expressionless and said coldly, "Sorry, it was a slip of the hand."
The fine celadon teacup shattered into countless pieces at his feet, and a few tea leaves clung to his snow-white robe.
"Smack!"
A voice rang out beside Yun Chan.
Jiang Chengyan's brow twitched violently: "My hand slipped too."
Xie Zhi glanced to the left and right, then tightened his grip on his fingers.
"Snap!"
Xie Zhi laughed through gritted teeth: "Yuan Xiaoyao, the teacups from Qianhua Palace aren't very good quality; they break easily when you squeeze them."
Yuan Yao: "..."
Yuan Yao's eyelids twitched violently twice.
She said irritably, "You three, each of you, pay me back a set of teacups!"
These teacups are nine thousand years old.
Any one of them, if picked out randomly, would be worth as much as gold.
However, in just a short time, three of them broke!
Ye Changyou took a sip of tea and relaxed his brows: "Yuan Yao, if you like tea sets, I will give you as many as you want after we get married."
In Dongye, we have no shortage of petroleum jelly, and secondly, we have clay for firing porcelain.
Getting married??
Yuan Yao's lips twitched.
Before she could speak, Huaiyao said from the side, "Your Majesty, we in Daqi have plenty of tea sets."
"You think you can marry Yuan Xiaoyao just by giving me a tea set?"
"Of course not." Ye Changyou placed his hands on his knees, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "Yuan Yao, do you still wear the token of love that I gave you back then?"
Yuan Yao: "???"
A token of love?
When did she accept Ye Changyou's token of love?
"Splash..."
Another teacup shattered into pieces.
Lin Xuan was shocked: "Yuan Xiaoyao, you, you..."
His gaze moved from Xie Zhi's face to Jiang Chengyan's face, then to Yun Chan's face, and finally landed on Ye Changyou's face.
The three people in front of him had faces that were colder than the last, almost as cold as ice.
Lin Xuan mistakenly thought he had arrived at the crematorium.
For a few seconds, her mind went blank, and a blurry image flashed through Yuan Yao's mind—
That year, Ye Changyou left Daqi, and before he left, he threw her a jade pendant...
He said that if she ever went to Dongye in the future, she should take this jade pendant with her and come find him...
He also said that if the jade pendant was lost or broken, she would have to compensate him...
So, it was that phoenix pendant!
Yuan Yao took a deep breath: "Jing'er!"
Jing'er trotted over: "Princess, what's wrong?"
Yuan Yao's voice trembled slightly: "Go, bring me the jade pendant that the Night Emperor gave me!"
Jade pendant?
Jing'er looked confused.
Yuan Yao: "?"
Good heavens!
Not only did she forget, but Jing'er forgot too!
At this moment, Aruo, who came from the garden gate, said, "Princess, please wait a moment, this servant will go and fetch it right away."
The garden was completely silent.
A palpable sense of menace emanated from the pavilion.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She was on the verge of tears.
It's not about how old she is; she's innocent!
At that time, she had no idea that Ye Changyou had this idea!
You beast!
You little beast!
They don't even spare a little baby...
Soon, Aruo brought over a jade pendant: "Princess, is this the one?"
Ye Changyou glanced at it and said, "This is the Phoenix Pendant of the Eastern Night Kingdom."
As he spoke, he reached into his robes and pulled out a jade pendant carved with an openwork dragon: "This one in my hand is a dragon pendant."
This dragon pendant and the phoenix pendant were originally a pair.
Yuan Yao, ten years ago, you were already the Empress of Dongye whom I had chosen.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Please shut up!
How could someone skilled in martial arts not even sense such a powerful killing intent?
Unfortunately, Jiang Lanyue spoke up, saying, "Sister Yao'er, congratulations! His Majesty the Night Emperor's affection for you is truly touching."
Yuan Yao wants to apply for permission to use profanity.
She took the phoenix pendant from Aruo and handed it to Ye Changyou: "Back then, I wanted to return this jade pendant to you, but you left in a hurry."
Today, let's return it to its rightful owner.
"A token of love, how can you take it back?" Ye Changyou waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it'll be yours sooner or later, so keep it safe for now..."
Yuan Yao frowned: "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away!"
Ye Changyou frowned: "Yuan Yao, what do you mean by this?"
Huaiyao also gently tugged at her sleeve.
Yuan Yao shook her head at her, then said, "To be honest, Your Majesty the Night Emperor, I already have someone I love."
I don't want him to misunderstand, so if you don't want this jade pendant, Yuan Yao will have to throw it away.
Similarly, she didn't want him to misunderstand, so she refused to cast Ye Changyou as Jiang Lanyue.
"What?" Ye Changyou was stunned.
Yuan Yao said, word by word, "I, Yuan Yao, already have someone I love."
