"But, the beauty is beautiful. The temperament is too upright. Although gentle and pleasant, it is not charming at all, which is not to my liking.
In my opinion, it is the charming little beauties in the brothel who can make me more attracted. Such a dignified and noble third princess is definitely what attracts me."
Ye Fuxun felt quite relieved when he heard what he said, but Xiao Yunchen always spoke with mixed truth and falsehood, and he didn't know if he really had never fallen in love with Yu Yunxuan.
I still remember the way Xiao Yunchen looked at Yu Yunxuan when she was dancing at the banquet that day, almost to the point of being absent-minded. If he said that he was not even remotely tempted, it would be unbelievable.
"You are the regent of the Dongchen Kingdom. You should not get too close to the princess of the Western Kingdom. Otherwise, the ministers and the people will have objections to you. I believe you will understand without me saying more."
Xiao Yunchen paused, her hand holding the folding fan stopped for a moment, and she slowly looked at Ye Fuxun, surprise and admiration flashed across her eyes. From this point of view, she still stood wholeheartedly on the side of Dongchen Kingdom.
"Sister-in-law is right, I understand."
After a moment of silence, Ye Fuxun was ready to get to the point.
"Recently, your eldest brother has been busy with matters at the military camp. He didn't even go to the morning court. You brothers have very little time to see each other. Is it because of the lack of communication that it is easy to have some disagreements?"
Xiao Yunchen paused again, looked at her with confusion and asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Now my eldest brother and I are in charge of government affairs and the other is in charge of military affairs. We each perform our duties and everything goes smoothly. There is no disagreement.
ah."
Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "Then I don't understand. Since there was no disagreement, why did you and him get into a quarrel in the study that afternoon, and in the end you walked away angrily?"
Xiao Yunchen was stunned and thought, how did she know about the quarrel that day? "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How could I have quarreled with my eldest brother? When did I leave angrily? We have the best relationship.
Yeah, it’s not like you don’t know.”
Ye Fuxun knew that he would not admit it, so he said directly: "Don't try to hide it. Many servants heard your quarrel that day. Afterwards, they saw you walking out of the palace with an unhappy expression. You still wanted to fool me in front of me. Quickly
Talk about it!"
Xiao Yunchen was so helpless, he rubbed his eyebrows and said lazily: "You can ask the elder brother, he is also a person involved."
Ye Fuxun rolled his eyes speechlessly: "If he is willing to tell me, will I still come to you?"
"That's true, brother will definitely not tell you the truth."
Xiao Yunchen is still struggling in his heart, whether to tell the truth or not. If he tells the truth, his eldest brother will definitely blame him. If he doesn't tell the truth, the peace talks with the Western Kingdom will be stalemate here for a long time. Now that the war has started in the north, Dongchen Kingdom is waiting.
That's amazing.
Ye Fuxun saw Xiao Yunchen, who was always smiling, frowning and grimacing, and realized the seriousness of the matter. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it related to the Western Kingdom? If it's not convenient to tell me, then forget it.
"
It's all because of her identity as the princess of the Western Kingdom that many things are unknown.
"Actually, there's nothing I can't tell you." Xiao Yunchen said seriously: "The matter is indeed related to the Western Kingdom, and it has a lot to do with you."
"Me?" Ye Fuxun was surprised. Isn't Yu Siling a marriage tool? Isn't she just an insignificant princess? How could it be related to her?
Xiao Yunchen took a breath and told Ye Fuxun the two conditions put forward by Yu Xiunan before.
Ye Fuxun couldn't figure it out. It was understandable that Yu Yunxuan should be married to Dongchen. Why should he call Yu Siling back to the Western Kingdom? Did the emperor really miss his beloved daughter?
Yu Siling has lived in the Xiguo Palace for more than ten years. He ignored her and didn't care, as if she didn't have this daughter. He only remembered that she had this daughter when they got married last year. It's really ridiculous to say that he misses her now.
"Sister-in-law, do you know why the Emperor of the Western Kingdom summoned you back to the country?" Xiao Yunchen asked tentatively.
Ye Fuxun shook his head and said: "I can't figure out why. I have been in the Western Kingdom for more than ten years, and my father and I have only met very rarely, let alone talked about the relationship between father and daughter. To say that he is
I don’t believe you asked me to go back because you missed me.”
Xiao Yunchen nodded, thinking she was right.
Ye Fuxun said again: "I don't know what they are planning over there, but they are willing to let the third sister marry Dongchen far away. Could it be that the father is in a state of confusion and dementia? Or..."
Xiao Yunchen now truly believed that his sister-in-law had no feelings for his father anymore, and she could even say such treacherous words as "Alzheimer's", and she did so in front of him.
"Eldest brother just rejected the other party's conditions because he doubted the other party's intentions and didn't want you to risk your return to the country." When Xiao Yunchen said this, a look of guilt appeared on his face.
He lowered his head and said slowly: "In order to prevent Dongchen Kingdom from getting into trouble, I wanted to agree to Yu Xiunan, so I had a disagreement with my eldest brother.
Sister-in-law, I know it was wrong of me to let you take risks, but from my position, I have no choice. If I were not the regent, but still the idle prince from before, I would definitely not be in this position."
Suddenly, Ye Fuxun realized that Xiao Yunchen may not be as capable as Bai Yuxian, but he is much more rational than him. It is really rare for him to put aside his emotions and deal with problems from a rational perspective.
Perhaps this is also what Bai Yuxian values and is the real reason why he is more suitable to be the regent than Bai Yuxian.
Ye Fuxun nodded and said: "I understand, you have your difficulties. As the regent, the first thing you have to consider is the interests of the country, and you cannot be emotional. You are right to think so."
Xiao Yunchen originally thought that Ye Fuxun would be unhappy even if he didn't blame him face to face, but he never expected that Ye Fuxun was so reasonable. No wonder his elder brother could let go of his former crush and turn his heart to her.
"Since sister-in-law also understands me, what do you think about this condition?" This is tantamount to asking Ye Fuxun if he is willing to agree to Yu Xiunan's condition and return to the West with him.
Ye Fuxun paused, pondered for a moment, and said:
"I still have to think carefully before I can make a decision. I don't know what the situation is like in the Western Kingdom now. If I go back unprepared, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. I'll wait until I meet my second brother.
.”
Xiao Yunchen nodded: "This is what you should do. If you go back, I will send experts to protect you personally and I will not let you go into danger alone."
This is what he wants to do and the only thing he can do.
Ye Fulun smiled, patted Xiao Yunchen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "No matter what my decision is, I will inform you as soon as possible. Also, don't blame yourself, you just did what you should do,
