After Xibohou resigned from office, he took his wife back to his hometown, leaving only a few servants to clean the house.
The purpose of returning to Beijing this time was to protect Mrs. Xibohou's pregnancy. Who would have thought that on the way to the palace, he would meet Hua Yanxi by chance. After the emperor learned about it, he sent many servants to serve him.
Xibohou had made good friends with many people when he was in office. Taking advantage of this full moon banquet, he invited many friends to watch the ceremony.
As soon as the fifth prince's carriage arrived at the door, Xibohou learned about it from the servants who had sent people to keep an eye on it, and he personally greeted it.
Ye Yibai followed Hua Yanxi and looked at the Xibohou in front of him who was smiling with deep-set eye lines and saying polite words from time to time. He felt extremely mysterious.
He had never been so kind to him before.
In the last life, after the death of Mrs. Xibohou, Xibohou took his wife's body back to his hometown, and when he regained his consciousness, he went to invite him out of the mountain in person.
At that time, Xibohou looked haggard, his brows were full of depression, and even his words were harsh. Naturally, he returned without success.
Because of the fifth prince's mask, they could naturally guess the identity of the woman in front of them.
Hua Yanxi clearly felt that more and more eyes were focused on her.
There were constant whispers in my ears.
"She is the fifth prince's concubine."
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, she would have such vicious thoughts. Her grandmother who gave birth to her was seriously ill and refused to visit her, but she was diligent in currying favor with Xibohou."
"No wonder he is able to get into a noble family like the Yang family. He is so scheming."
"The Hua family treats her well. She really knows people well and knows their faces but not their hearts."
"I heard that the concubine of the Seventh Prince was her sister. She was the one who caused her harm and was immediately abandoned. This life is ruined."
"It's really scary. He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. I didn't expect him to be so vicious."
There was constant chatter around them, and they deliberately said it to embarrass Hua Yanxi, but they found that Hua Yanxi still looked calm and composed, as if she was not what they were talking about at all.
Xibohou naturally heard these words and frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sudden "muffled" sound from someone in the crowd.
I saw the woman who just spoke the most cheerfully and had the most malicious eyes loosened her mouth, and there were two bloody front teeth in the palm of her hand.
Ye Yibai took back his hand, flicked his fingers, and finally felt a lot cleaner.
He looked at Hua Yanxi innocently and said without hesitation: "Yanyan, they are talking bad about you."
Hua Yanxi smiled and said: "Yes, there are always some people who are full of food and cannot manage their own household affairs, but they still want to meddle in other people's household affairs."
"I know this! Isn't this just a dog trying to catch a mouse? Please mind your own business." Ye Yibai's eyes were bright, but what he said could make people angry to death.
Hua Yanxi smiled and nodded: "Xiao Bai is so smart."
Ye Yibai squinted his eyes and accepted Hua Yanxi's praise calmly. When he looked at those people, his eyes were deep and cold, hiding in them.
The conversation between the two was not quiet, and the faces of those who spoke were a little annoyed, but they could not refute.
They didn't name anyone and just rushed to argue. Isn't that asking for humiliation?
Xibohou approached Hua Yanxi and said, "I have heard a lot of rumors in recent days."
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Master Lao has taken the trouble."
Seeing the calmness on her face, Xibohou knew that she knew what she was thinking, so he didn't say anything more.
It’s better not to give too much advice when it comes to your own affairs.
"The Seventh Prince is here." Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned away.
Ye Juechen today wore a purple jade gold crown and a wide-sleeved brocade robe, making his already pure and elegant face look even more graceful.
"Congratulations to the noble son of Xibohou on his full moon. These are all gifts given by the emperor. I wish your son a long life, safety and health."
Xibohou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Please sit down."
Ye Juechen nodded slightly, and as soon as he took two steps forward, he met their eyes.
There was a vacuum around Hua Yanxi and Ye Yibai, which made them more and more conspicuous.
Ye Juechen's legs that had already taken a step suddenly retracted, and he said calmly: "I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. Another day..."
"Seventh brother!" Ye Yibai interrupted him.
I saw Ye Yibai striding forward, grabbing Ye Juechen's robe that was embroidered with gold thread patterns, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, let's sit together."
Ye Juechen waved his hand and tried to break free, but Ye Yibai had already grabbed his wrist instead, and it was so strong that he couldn't struggle.
She actually forced herself to pull him two steps away.
"Ye Yibai, let me go." Ye Juechen looked ugly and scolded in a low voice.
Ye Yibai looked at Xibohou: "Where are we sitting?"
Xibohou suddenly came back to his senses and quickly pointed to the main table: "Here."
Just like that, Ye Yibai pulled Ye Juechen to his side and sat down. The two of them were close to each other, as if they were conjoined.
Ye Juechen resisted the gazes of everyone around him, suppressed his anger, and whispered: "You can let go of me now."
Ye Yibai immediately let go and curled his lips and said: "Just loosen it up, your wrist is full of bones and it's not easy to touch at all. My family is good-looking. My hands are small, soft, very comfortable and smell good."
After saying that, he took Hua Yanxi's hand and squeezed it softly under the table, but still talked to Ye Juechen: "Seventh brother, why are you here by yourself? Where is your concubine?
, why didn’t you bring it out?”
After he finished speaking, Ye Juechen clearly felt that there were a few more sizing eyes around him.
The veins on his forehead had a faint tendency to pop.
For him, this matter was considered a family scandal, and smart people knew better than to mention it, but this was the fool in front of him, who directly asked it so harshly.
Not only did he ask, but when he didn't answer, he repeated it again: "Seventh brother, why don't you say anything? I asked you about your concubine."
Ye Juechen said coldly: "I'm done."
"Oh, why did you divorce her? Didn't you bring her into the house in your eight-carriage sedan chair? Did she make you angry because of her misbehavior?"
"Yeah." Ye Juechen spoke concisely and did not want to continue this topic.
Ye Yibai continued to ask: "Why did she make you angry?"
Ye Juechen gave him a threatening look.
Ye Yibai couldn't understand the look and continued to be curious: "Oh, what did she do?"
Ye Juechen looked at Hua Yanxi, who had nothing to do with him, and said threateningly: "Fifth sister-in-law."
Hua Yanxi tilted her head: "Why is the seventh brother calling me? Aren't you chatting with your fifth brother? Just take good care of him for me."
This means I don't want to care anymore.
If possible, Ye Juechen really wanted to cover the head of the person in front of him who likes to dig into problems and throw him far away.
"Seventh brother, you should have my permission before you speak to my wife. Also, you haven't answered my question yet. This is very rude." Ye Yibai said, directly pointing at the back of Ye Juechen's head.
