Then he started to take off his clothes, leaving only a single coat and fur trousers on his body. He slipped into the quilt like a loach and looked at Hua Yanxi with bright eyes.
Hua Yanxi only took off her outer shirt, and as soon as she lay down on the outside, Ye Yibai hugged her tightly.
"Yanyan, aren't you hot? Take off your clothes and sleep with me."
"Hurry up and get back into your own bed."
"No, no, I just want to make a bed with you." Ye Yibai said, and his body became even tighter.
Hua Yanxi reached out to push him, and he pressed his entire body directly on Hua Yanxi's body, reaching out to tickle her.
Hua Yanxi was unexpectedly scratched, and all her strength was exhausted. She couldn't help but giggle.
The two quarreled for a while before Ye Yibai calmed down.
Early the next morning, Cui'er knocked on the door and reported: "Miss, someone is coming from the palace, and I want you to go to the palace with the fifth prince to pay an audience."
Hua Yanxi opened her eyes after hearing this, looked at Ye Yibai who was sleeping soundly beside her, and reached out to push her.
"Xiaobai, get up quickly, we have to enter the palace."
Ye Yibai wrinkled his nose: "If you don't want to go, let them go."
Hua Yanxi reached out and grabbed his ear: "No, we are powerless now. If we offend someone, no one will help us end it."
Ye Yibai closed his eyes, but his mind was already awake.
Thinking about the current situation, it is really powerless and very appropriate.
I had to open my eyes irritably.
After cleaning up, the two got on the carriage entering the palace.
Along the way, Ye Yibai was not as lively as usual. He looked gloomy, with his head lowered and did not speak.
"Xiao Bai, don't you like entering the palace?"
Ye Yibai just let out a weak "Hmm".
Hua Yanxi guessed that Ye Yibai had been bullied a lot in the palace when he was a child, so he was so disgusted when it came to entering the palace.
Think about it, the people in the palace are all people who worship the superiors and try to suppress the inferiors, so the emperor doesn't pay attention to them. Naturally, they will receive a lot of harsh treatment.
Hua Yanxi touched his head: "If you don't like it, we will try to come as little as possible in the future."
"Um."
After the carriage entered the imperial city, it was changed into a sedan chair and continued into the palace.
Hua Yanxi didn't think much about it, just thinking that the emperor valued the Hua family's daughter.
Sitting in the sedan, Hua Yanxi secretly opened the curtain and took a look.
This palace is majestic, with towering palaces, pavilions and pavilions, flowing water and flowing water, and it doesn't look cluttered when surrounded by palaces and maidens.
One by one, they lowered their heads and subconsciously avoided their sedan chairs.
The sedan continued until it reached the Ming and Qing Palace and then stopped. After the palace officials announced it, Hua Yanxi met her nominal father.
On the high seat, the man is dressed in a dragon robe, with dragon and phoenix postures, and a solemn face. It is undeniable that his facial features are strong, and he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
No wonder he could give birth to a son with the appearance of the seventh prince.
Not only were they present in the Ming and Qing Palace, the seventh prince and his wife were also standing on one side.
"Daughter-in-law, see your father." Hua Yanxi knelt down to pay her respects. However, she found that the person next to her was still standing upright.
Hua Yanxi looked sideways at Ye Yibai, only to see that the man was staring at the floor tiles seriously.
"Xiaobai, salute quickly." Hua Yanxi said worriedly.
I am not favored to begin with, but if I am punished by the emperor again, it will really make matters worse.
But no matter how he shouted, Ye Yibai seemed to be immersed in his own world, paying no attention to the outside world.
"Sister, you are wrong. The fifth prince is mentally retarded and does not understand etiquette, but you should teach him some lessons. It is disrespectful not to kneel down when meeting your father like this." Hua Yun'er felt heartbroken when she saw Hua Yanxi.
Naturally, the dowry that was originally obtained had to be given to him in front of the emperor.
Ye Juechen said in a deep voice: "Shut up."
Hua Yanxi lowered her head and said: "Father, please forgive me. The fifth prince is currently learning to write, and my daughter-in-law has not yet had time to teach her etiquette. Please forgive me, father."
Hua Yun'er wanted to laugh when she heard this.
It was really interesting to teach a fool to read and write. She was about to say something sarcastic, but the seventh prince warned her with his eyes, so she could only hold back.
"Forgive me." The emperor said solemnly.
Hua Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the emperor knows that his son is stupid and doesn't bother to argue with him.
Save her from wondering whether to contradict Sheng Shang for Xiao Bai.
"Give me a seat."
The waiter brought stools and asked the four of them to sit down together.
The emperor's eyes swept around Hua Yanxi's face, and suddenly said: "Hua Yanxi? The legitimate daughter of the Hua family?"
Hua Yanxi stood up from the stool again, leaned forward and said, "Reporting to my father, my daughter-in-law is Hua Yanxi."
The emperor frowned: "Have you ever felt aggrieved by marrying the fifth child?"
Hua Yanxi thought to herself, this emperor really knows everything.
But he didn't mention the marriage change, probably because he wanted to cover it up for the Seventh Prince.
"I would like to report to my father that the fifth prince has a pure heart. My daughter-in-law is truly lucky to be able to marry him, and she does not feel aggrieved."
The man above his head looked back and forth on her face, as if he was trying to determine whether what she said was true or false.
Then, he said: "Okay, you two, go to the queen's place to say hello. The fifth and seventh sons are staying here. I have something to say."
When Hua Yanxi heard this, her expression turned pale and she quickly said: "Father, please let your daughter-in-law accompany your highness."
"Get down!"
Hua Yanxi couldn't help it. When she got up, she whispered to Ye Yibai: "If someone bullies you, just run away. I'll go back and pick you up soon."
Ye Yibai's lips curled up and he nodded.
After Hua Yanxi went out, Hua Yun'er could finally ridicule her freely.
She just heard her mockingly say: "A fool is a fool. You have seen how favored the seventh prince is. Even though you were supposed to marry him, the emperor never said a harsh word after he found out."
Hua Yanxi sneered and said, "Hua Yun'er, this is the palace. If you want to die faster, just say so."
"You dare to threaten me?"
"What do I dare not to do? The worst we can do is die together. Besides, how are you sure that the emperor's love for the seventh prince has reached the point where he is willing to let him marry a good-for-nothing concubine? It's possible that the emperor is following you right now.
The seventh prince said that he should marry another wife."
With that said, Hua Yanxi ignored Hua Yun'er who was already angry and went straight to the queen's palace with the palace attendants.
At this moment, inside the Ming and Qing Palace.
The emperor angrily shouted: "You evil son, kneel down!"
Ye Yibai, who was sitting beside him, remained motionless, but Ye Juechen knelt down with a pop.
Ye Yibai's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he didn't even bother to look at the farce in front of him.
"What did I tell you?" the emperor said angrily.
Ye Juechen lowered his head and said solemnly: "Father said that we must put fifth brother first in everything."
"Then what did you do! I pointed out the marriage to you, but you replaced Tao Zang with your fifth brother. How can the daughter of a mere merchant be worthy of him!"
Ye Juechen sneered in his heart.
If the merchant's daughter is not worthy of Ye Yibai, how can she be worthy of him?
Who would have thought that the seventh prince is said to be the emperor's beloved son and is loved by all, but only he knows that in the heart of his father, he can't even compare to a fool!
