Gu Liyou's life experience was originally unclear, but he actually became the eldest son of Prince Yu. It would have been impossible for others to have doubts over the years. What if Prince Yu and Princess Le'an got tired of him one day?
It is not impossible to be kicked out of the palace.
At this time, he had a conflict with Liang Caicai, the only daughter of Liang Hai, the Minister of Punishment, and anyone with a discerning eye knew who should be busy talking.
"This princess will bear witness for him!"
The scene was silent, no one dared to answer, Liang Caicai suddenly felt guilty, her eyes looking at Ye Sili were erratic, but in front of so many people, she had no choice but to bite the bullet because of her face.
"Hello, Princess Le'an." Most of the people present today were of the younger generation, and they all said hello to Ye Sili in unison.
"Ayou, are you okay?"
Ye Sili ignored it and walked straight through the crowd towards Gu Liyou.
She just listened to everything Liang Caicai said, and she felt so uncomfortable when she heard it. She didn't know that Ayou...
"I'm fine, don't be angry." Gu Liyou looked as if he was really not angry, and his tone was a bit softer.
Liang Caicai took the initiative and cried out: "Princess, it was Mr. Gu who hit me first. Not only did he not want to apologize, he even blamed me and wanted to ruin my reputation. Everyone saw it."
Gu Liyou wanted to hold Ye Sili, but Ye Sili patted his hand, turned around and stood side by side with him, and glanced at everyone coldly, "Really? Has anyone seen it?"
Everyone was silent.
"Just now, my princess saw it from a distance. It was clearly you who rushed straight towards Ayou, but Ayou dodged away and didn't even touch a single hair of yours."
Ye Sili's tone changed, and she asked everyone with some uncertainty:
"But I was standing a little far away just now, so my view was naturally not as clear as yours. I wonder if you think my view is accurate?"
Everyone was sighing and didn't know what to do for a moment. Ye Sili's face darkened, "Are you all deaf?"
"Everything the princess said is true."
"It is true that Mr. Gu has not met Miss Liang."
"The princess is absolutely right."
"..."
When Liang Caicai saw everyone defecting instantly, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and said:
"Princess Princess..."
"Shut up!" Ye Sili yelled, stepping closer and looking Liang Caicai carefully up and down without any concealment, "You said Ayou ruined your reputation, it's really ridiculous."
"How beautiful you are, do you still need this princess to give you a mirror?"
Liang Caicai's face turned red instantly, but she didn't dare to contradict Ye Sili directly, so she could only say angrily:
"Princess, Gu Liyou is an unknown beggar. If you hadn't been kind enough to take him in at Duke Yu's Mansion, where would he be standing..."
"Snapped!"
Before Liang Caicai finished speaking, a slap fell on her small face. Fingerprints instantly appeared on her originally fair face, which showed how much effort the owner of the fingerprints had exerted.
"Ah Li." Gu Liyou didn't expect that Ye Sili would defend him like this. He wanted to step forward to stop him but was stopped by Mu Jiufeng.
"You all listen to me, Princess!" Ye Sili's voice was several times louder than usual, and his anger was not concealed.
"Ayou is the only son in my palace, Prince Yu, and he is the General of Huaihua who has been conferred by the Holy One!"
"Any one of you who dares to be disrespectful to him is provoking the majesty of Prince Yugong's palace, and even more contempt for the imperial power!"
Everyone was silent except for Liang Caicai, who was sobbing and crying. She didn't know whether she was frightened or hurt by the beating.
"I, Prince Yu, have been serving as generals for generations, loyal to the emperor and serving the country. The children of the Ye family can only die on the battlefield, instead of being drowned by the spit of you indiscriminate literati who only know how to follow the trend!"
Ye Sili moved out of the entire Prince Yugong's palace and used the Holy Emperor to exert pressure. At this moment, even Zhou De, the Minister of Rites, did not dare to say anything.
"Ayou, I can afford to call you Mr. Liyou!"
After Ye Sili said this, she blushed with anger. She had never thought that someone would dare to humiliate Ayou like this in front of her. So how did Ayou deal with it when she was not around in the past?
"Princess, please calm down. What happened today is indeed against the principles of a scholar. We apologize to the princess and Mr. Liyou."
"Please the princess and Mr. Liyou calm down."
"Please the princess and Mr. Liyou calm down."
"Please the princess and Mr. Liyou calm down."
Scholars are like this. Once they know that they have been wronged, they cannot violate their conscience. Just now they all responded, and now they all apologized sincerely.
Ye Sili did not respond, staring at Liang Caicai with eyes full of anger.
For a moment, the public opinion trend was reversed. Liang Caicai faced the huge pressure and had no choice but to bow her head and admit her mistake.
"Cai Cai uttered arrogant words and insulted Young Master Liyou. Please plead guilty to the crime by the princess and Young Master Liyou."
Ye Sili didn't ask Gu Liyou for his opinion. She could just do the punishment. Anyway, she had decided on this evil person.
"It's been freezing lately, so Miss Liang would be better off leaving the house less often."
Liang Caicai was shocked. Was she grounded? How could she find her cousin if she was grounded?
But in the scene before her, she had no chance to question it.
Ye Sili took Gu Liyou's hand, and the two of them walked through the crowd and returned to their seats.
"Sili, I've known you for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen you so angry. You're really a bit of a princess." Mu Jiufeng teased.
"You heard it just now, how could they comment on Ayou like that?"
Ye Sili became even more angry when this matter was mentioned.
Gu Liyou unfolded the cloak he just went to get and put it on Ye Sili, pinched Ye Sili's face and coaxed softly:
"Well, I just saw you defending me like that, and I'm not angry at all."
Ye Sili said aggrievedly on behalf of Gu Liyou: "Ayou, good people can be bullied. You are the eldest son of Mr. Yu's mansion. If someone bullies you again in the future, you can use Mr. Yu's mansion to scare them."
Mu Jiufeng laughed out loud, "Bullying? Who dares to bully him?"
Gu Liyou gave Mu Jiufeng a cold look, and Mu Jiufeng instantly stopped smiling.
"Don't worry, Ah Li, no one will bully me in the future."
Ye Sili nodded.
Because of what Liang Caicai caused, everyone at today's banquet was bored. On the contrary, Ye Sili ate several bowls of Laba porridge.
"Sili, is the Laba porridge he makes so delicious? It's worth eating several bowls of it."
Mu Jiufeng looked at the Laba porridge in front of him and held back his hand that he wanted to extend.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyu smiled and said:
"Master Jiu Feng, why don't you try it?"
"Who cares?" Mu Jiufeng turned away.
Ye Sili put down the spoon, wiped her mouth, and praised without hesitation:
"I have always only known that Zi Yu's literary talent is outstanding, but I didn't know that Zi Yu's cooking skills are also outstanding."
"Princess, I am very impressed. I have been learning this Laba porridge for a long time, and I can't do anything else."
Zhou Zixuan said honestly.
"That's also amazing. Some people may not be able to learn a thing or two even if their masters try their best."
Ye Sili touched Mu Jiufeng with her elbow, "Jiu Feng, do you really not want to try it? This is what Zi Yu specially made and served. I am not bragging. Don't look at the number of people at this banquet, but I can eat Zi Yu."
I'm afraid we are the only ones who make Laba porridge with our own hands."
"Of course." Zhou Ziyu smiled slightly, his glance and smile resembled the graceful young man in the book.
Just as Mu Jiufeng was about to refuse, Ye Sili picked up Mu Jiufeng's spoon, scooped half a spoonful of Laba porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How is it?" Ye Sili waited expectantly for Mu Jiufeng's evaluation. The person who was more nervous than her was naturally the person who made the Laba porridge.
Zhou Ziyu carefully watched Mu Jiufeng's reaction. It wasn't until a look of surprise and disbelief appeared on Mu Jiufeng's face that Zhou Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Sili knew that Mu Jiufeng was a face-saving person, so he laid out a ladder for him to get down.
"It's cold and cold, you should eat the porridge quickly to avoid wasting it if it gets cold."
Ye Sili picked up the Laba porridge and handed it to Mu Jiufeng.
Mu Jiufeng reluctantly accepted, "I don't want to waste food."
The next day, Ye Sili was awakened by the chirping sounds outside the hospital.
"In late spring and summer, why are you not allowed to sleep so early in the morning?" Ye Sili sat up irritably and muttered.
In late spring, Huanxia heard that she was awake and rushed into the house.
"Princess, something happened." Munchun said hurriedly.
"What's the matter?"
"Liang Caicai was assassinated last night."
"Who?" Ye Sili thought she was hallucinating.
"Liang Caicai, the daughter of Liang Hai, the Minister of Punishment," Huan Xia added.
"What's wrong with her?" Ye Sili suddenly became energetic and sat up straight.
"After the banquet at the Zhou Mansion yesterday, she returned to the Liang Mansion. Unexpectedly, she was assassinated in the night." Mu Chun said carefully.
Ye Sili immediately opened the quilt and got up, and asked while getting dressed:
"When will he be buried?"
"Although I had some unpleasantness with her, the deceased was a great person, and I should go and pay homage to her on the day of her burial."
Late spring and Huan Xia looked at each other, then looked at Ye Sili doubtfully and said:
"Ms. Liang was only slightly frightened by the assassination and has not passed away."
"..." Ye Sili, who was hurriedly putting on clothes, paused, "You're just frightened? Then what are you doing in a panic?"
Late spring suddenly became angry, "Ms. Liang was assassinated last night, and now everyone is saying... everyone is saying..."
"You say it was me?" Ye Sili reacted and slowly moved onto the bed.
"Yes, those people dared to slander the princess with their lies." Wuchun said in defiance.
Ye Sili stretched her waist. Yesterday she had a conflict with Liang Caicai in front of everyone. Last night Liang Caicai was assassinated and was frightened. It was reasonable for them to suspect her.
But... what bastard actually set his sights on her, Ye Sili?
"Princess, what are you doing?"
Late spring looked at his princess lying down again, and asked in confusion: "If you don't go out and explain, will they still slander you?"
Ye Sili wrapped herself in the quilt and yawned: "What's the use of explaining? The matter is now over, I can't stop their mouths."
"Besides, Liang Caicai was just frightened and nothing serious. The people in the Liang family can't do anything to me. They will naturally find out the real murderer."
Late spring thought about it and felt that what his princess said was reasonable.
