He said quietly: "Your Majesty, I think what the prince said about this matter makes sense."
"No matter how good your relationship with Mrs. Lin is, you should put the overall situation first."
Ye Junfei's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "So my uncle also thinks that I should divorce Xiuyan and marry another so-called noble woman?"
Zong Zheng looked at him and said: "What's the problem for a real man without a wife?"
Ye Junfei understands their mentality. In the final analysis, they are a group of profit-seeking people.
The reason why Zong Zheng supported him was because of his ability.
He said quietly: "What my uncle said is, why should a man worry about not having a wife?"
When Lin Xiuyan heard what he said, she glanced at him but said nothing.
Although she and Ye Junfei have a stable relationship now, the most variable thing in the world is love, and she also wants to know what he will choose.
She wouldn't do anything more until he made his position clear.
After Ye Junfei finished speaking, he took her hand in front of everyone, looked at her and said, "But the only one I like is Xiu Yan."
"If I had to choose between her and the crown prince, I would choose her."
Their eyes met, and a smile appeared from the corner of Ye Junfei's mouth.
It was not his usual cold smile, but a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. This smile was gentle and affectionate.
The corners of Lin Xiuyan's lips were slightly raised, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
At this time, there was silence in the room, and everyone looked at them in shock, completely disapproving of Ye Junfei's choice.
Zongzheng said immediately: "Your Majesty, have you thought about it?"
The other members of the Ye clan began to become irritable and kept talking: "Your Majesty, don't be ridiculous!"
"Lin is just a businesswoman, she is not worthy of you at all!"
"As long as you divorce Mrs. Lin, we will immediately find you ten or eight beautiful women for you."
Ye Junfei ignored them completely and only held Lin Xiuyan's hand tighter.
His thoughts at this time were very simple. He only wanted Lin Xiuyan. As for the throne of Pingnan, he could just grab it himself.
Anyway, the old man was so shameless that he looked for an opportunity and killed him directly.
King Pingnan was a little surprised when he heard Ye Junfei's words. After all, in his heart, nothing is more important than power.
He thought that with Ye Junfei's temperament, he would definitely choose power. In this way, he could separate Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, and then look for opportunities to kill Ye Junfei.
Now Ye Junfei's reaction reminded him of Ye Junfei's biological mother, who was a smart and stubborn woman.
Over the years, he has been avoiding thinking about her, deliberately trying to forget her, but recently he has been thinking about her unconsciously.
He looked at Ye Junfei and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Ye Junfei nodded: "I have thought about it. Thank you for your father's good intentions. I will let you down."
After he finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Zong Zheng and said, "Thank you very much, uncle, for taking care of me these days."
"To me, power is important when people live in this world, but if you only care about power without feelings, then you are no different from a pig or a dog."
"When Xiuyan and I met, she didn't know my identity. She and I were just acquaintances. No matter what I use to exchange for this kind of relationship, I wouldn't change it."
"If I were the Crown Prince, she would be my Crown Princess. If I were King Pingnan, she would be Princess Pingnan. If I were an ordinary person, she would be my wife."
Zong Zheng was a little moved when he heard these words.
Over the years, King Pingnan has done more and more things, and only talks about interests in everything, which makes the Ye family more and more difficult.
If Ye Junfei divorces Lin Xiuyan today, it will certainly go as they wished, but it will also make Zong Zheng look down upon.
After all, if a man can abandon his wife for the sake of power, then he can also abandon them for the sake of power.
He turned to look at Prince Pingnan and said, "The prince values love and righteousness, and is talented and strategic. Looking at all the princes in the palace, none of them can compare to him."
"Although Lin is from a humble background, he is smart and courageous, which is extremely rare."
"I think it would be too one-sided to judge that she is not worthy of the crown prince based on her birth background alone."
King Pingnan felt a little unhappy when he heard Zong Zheng speaking for Lin Xiuyan.
He looked at Zong Zheng and said: "Uncle, most women from low backgrounds are vulgar. She has not been able to learn the etiquette of the royal family so far."
"And she is usually disrespectful to this king and the prince's brothers and sisters, and often speaks evil words."
"I don't agree with what my father said." Ye Qingwan's voice came: "Sister-in-law, she treats me very well!"
After saying this, she walked in, greeted Zong Zheng and the elders in the clan, and then continued: "And she is generous by nature and values love and righteousness."
"Last time I was in danger in Zhuangzi and almost died, but she persisted and rescued me."
"As for what my father said about her being rude..."
Ye Qingwan smiled before continuing: "Someone got on top of her and insulted her in all kinds of ways, and even wanted her life."
"The clay figurine still has three parts of blood, let alone a living person. The sage said that you should repay evil with kindness, but the next sentence is about how to repay kindness."
"I also want to ask, for the sake of the safety of Pingnan Palace, my brother went to Beijing alone for many years as a hostage to ensure the stability of Pingnan Palace for more than ten years."
"He fell in love with my sister-in-law, married her into his family, and was in love with her."
"My brother has sacrificed so much for the Pingnan Palace, but everyone in the palace regards him as a thorn in their side and bullies his wife."
"My sister-in-law is not used to these people who bully the weak and fear the strong. What's wrong with that?"
No one dared to answer the question for a while.
Ye Qingwan bowed deeply to King Pingnan again: "May I ask my father, the royal concubine is second only to you and the princess in terms of dignity."
"You brought her back from the Lin Mansion in person. Why did you ignore the humiliation of her by everyone in the palace?"
"My sister-in-law has won the respect of everyone in the palace with her own abilities. Why are you using her identity to make trouble now?"
King Pingnan: "..."
He had always thought that Ye Qingwan was gentle, but now he realized that he seemed to have a wrong understanding of her.
Ye Qingwan looked at King Pingnan and said, "Dare you ask me, father? Do you really want to consolidate my brother's position as heir apparent? Or are you taking this opportunity to force me?"
"You are so inconsistent in your words and deeds, just to deal with a woman who has no backing. Where is your demeanor?"
King Pingnan: “!!!!!”
Lin Xiuyan wanted to applaud Ye Qingwan. This girl is really not reliable when it comes to seriousness!
She also walked up to King Pingnan and said, "I know that some of my abilities make my father a little afraid, so I use my background as an excuse."
"Whether the father really wants to consolidate the position of the prince, or whether he wants to take the opportunity to weaken the prince, I am afraid that only the father himself knows this."
King Pingnan shouted coldly: "Presumptuous!"
Lin Xiuyan had never been afraid of him, let alone his words.
She looked at Zong Zheng and his group and said, "I have some special skills. I would like to ask all of you uncles to take a look at them today."
