Xiao Yunchen smiled and poured himself a cup of tea. "It's already been time for the morning court. I returned to the palace and came here to see my sister-in-law."
"Huh? Then why didn't your elder brother come back?"
"Brother has a lot of things to deal with. How can he be as leisurely as I am?" Xiao Yunchen said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my sister-in-law is already talking about it? What a deep love between husband and wife!"
Ye Fuxun glared at Xiao Yunchen and said: "Seeing how envious you are, it seems that you also want to marry a wife, right? Anyway, I have nothing to do lately, so I might as well go to the trouble of finding you a wife.
Marriage, how is it?
Hmm... I see that among the ladies from famous families in Beijing, there are quite a few who are good-looking and well-behaved. By the way, I think the second young lady of the Minister of Industry is very good."
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Yunchen held a sip of tea in his mouth and almost spit it out, so he quickly stopped it.
"Stop, stop, sister-in-law, that second young lady has a pockmarked face, can you call her beautiful? Please don't bring trouble to me."
Ye Fuxun covered his mouth and snickered, continuing to tease him.
"As the saying goes, when marrying a wife, you should marry a virtuous one. How can you only focus on appearance? Miss Ding Er is a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a perfect match for you, a talented man from the capital."
The veins on Xiao Yunchen's head trembled violently, and he shook his head and said: "Come on, I can't afford that kind of talented girl, sister-in-law, I'd better stop teasing me."
Ye Fuxun laughed heartily a few times, feeling that he was in a better mood after teasing Xiao Yunchen.
The two chatted for a while and then brought the topic to more serious matters.
"Today at court, the civil and military officials had a huge quarrel about who should act in government affairs. It made my head feel big. It's really annoying."
Ye Fuxun said funnyly: "No one recommended you to be the regent. Why are you bothered?"
"No one recommended me, but the problem is that they wanted my eldest brother to be the regent, but they couldn't convince him. In the end, they all came to me and wanted me to persuade him.
Who can change what my eldest brother has decided? Doesn’t this put me on the edge of a knife? I don’t dare to persuade him.”
Ye Fuxun asked: "Your eldest brother, are you determined not to be the regent?"
"Yes, he already made his attitude clear yesterday, but the ministers still refuse to give up." Xiao Yunchen sighed and looked sideways at Ye Fuxun.
"As for the reason, I think with your intelligence, sister-in-law, you should know it, right?"
Ye Fuxun lowered his eyes, feeling both moved and ashamed. If Bai Yuxian didn't become the regent, wouldn't he take her current status into consideration?
"Actually, if you, sister-in-law, are willing to persuade me, maybe he can change his mind."
Xiao Yunchen looked at Ye Fulun expectantly, still with a bit of cynicism, and she didn't know whether he was sincere or just joking.
Ye Fuxun was a little surprised. Xiao Yunchen had always been unwilling to interfere with matters in the court.
"Do you also think he should accept the recommendation of the ministers?"
"Why not?" Xiao Yunchen slowly suppressed his smile, showed a serious look, and said: "As long as the eldest brother becomes the regent and has great power, when Xiao Che dies one day, the throne will definitely be his.
At that time, who else will dare to disobey him or oppress him?"
Although Xiao Yunchen has been protected by his brother since he was a child and has never suffered any grievances or harms, he is fully aware of what his brother has suffered.
Xiao Che had framed and oppressed Bai Yuxian in the past, and he didn't want to do it again.
But if Bai Yuxian does not become the emperor, no matter who succeeds him in the future, he will do the same as Xiao Che and do everything possible to suppress him and deal with him. This is the power of emperors.
At this moment, Ye Fuxun saw anger in Xiao Yunchen. This was the first time.
Although Xiao Yunchen appears to be carefree, in fact his abilities in all aspects are not inferior to Bai Yuxian's, but he is unwilling to work hard.
if……
"Actually, you can do it too."
Xiao Yunchen looked at Ye Fulun in confusion: "What?"
"As a regent, you can also sit down." Ye Fuxun pushed aside the floating leaves in the cup and said: "In the future, when you become the king of a country, won't it be the same?"
Xiao Yunchen was stunned and stared at Ye Fuxun for a long time. He couldn't find any sign of joking on her face, so he started to panic.
"Sister-in-law, don't joke with me. I don't want to be a regent and deal with government affairs every day. I will be suffocated to death. I will live for two more years."
Seeing that he had returned to his usual lazy look, Ye Fuxun silently shook his head and sighed. What a good talent, but he just doesn't want to make progress, what a pity!
Bai Yuxian was busy all day and returned to Prince Chen's Mansion in the evening.
Ye Fuxun made several dishes with his own hands, specially for Bai Yuxian to taste.
"It's so delicious. Xun'er's cooking skills are better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace." Bai Yuxian praised without hesitation.
Ye Fuxun laughed angrily and said, "It's not that exaggerated. If I had such good skills, I might as well be a cook! You clearly didn't mean what you said."
"Everything I said was sincere." Bai Yuxian took Ye Fuxun into his arms and instantly felt that his life was complete: "As long as it is cooked by you, Xun'er, I think it is the most delicious food in the world."
"Bai Yuxian, when did you learn to say such sweet words?" Ye Fuxun looked ungrateful on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. She knew that what Bai Yuxian said was true.
"I heard that you have been recommended by the ministers to be the regent, but you refused?" Ye Fuxun wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and asked suddenly.
Bai Yuxian nodded: "Yes, this regent is not that easy to be. Although I have to handle all the affairs of the court, this is two different things from being a regent. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble in the future."
Bai Yuxian paused and asked, "Did Yunchen tell you that? Didn't he come to you specifically to be a lobbyist?"
Ye Fuxun smiled slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said: "He does have this intention, but I don't intend to be this lobbyist."
Bai Yuxian felt soft in her heart and asked with a smile: "Oh, yesterday you said that by ascending to a high position, you can control the power of life and death. Why don't you persuade me to become the regent?"
"I don't advise you, but it's actually out of selfish motives."
Ye Fuxun rested his head on Bai Yuxian's shoulder and said softly: "If you really become the emperor one day, and there are seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, there will be countless beauties around you every day, then
Am I still angry enough to hit the wall?"
This may sound like a joke, but Ye Fuxun is serious in his heart.
Although it has been normal for men to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times, she wanted to monopolize Bai Yuxian and was unwilling to share her husband with other women.
Bai Yuxian didn't expect that Ye Fuxun would say this, and she felt very happy. She raised her hand and pinched her cheek, and said: "I will only have you in my life. No matter how many beauties there are, I will never take a look at them."
