87, Chapter Eighty Seven(1/2)
Xue Ya finally snatched a few snacks, two tacos, and after-dinner fruit from Yi Yefeng——
A small pear.
When he was full, Cui Lingjing finally drove back to the palace. Cui Lingjing left, and Xueya followed He Xulan back to Ningfu Palace. As soon as he returned, He Xulan had someone prepare a meal, and Xueya knew that it was for him.
Yes, he wanted to say no, but then he thought that if he said he didn't want to eat, He Xulan would definitely ask him why he didn't eat, and then his robbing of food from Yi Yefeng would be exposed.
He stepped on Yi Yefeng tonight and stole his food. What if He Xulan thought he was bad?
No, I can't say.
So, Xue Ya had another meal. While she was eating, there were three knocks on the door, accompanied by Eunuch Huang's voice, "Queen Mother."
He Xulan put down the chopsticks that were serving Xue Ya and said, "I'll go out for a while, and you can continue to eat."
Xue Ya actually couldn't eat anymore. When he heard He Xulan asked him to continue eating, he rolled his eyes and immediately grabbed He Xulan's sleeve, "I'll go with my brother."
In this way he tried to escape from the meal.
But who would have thought that He Xulan thought for a moment and called Eunuch Huang, "You ask him to come over here."
When Xue Ya was secretly suffering from having to continue eating, Eunuch Huang brought someone in, it was Yi Yefeng. As soon as Yi Yefeng came in, he saw Xue Ya having a meal. Although his steps did not stop, his eyes were fixed on her.
Xue Ya stayed on her body for a moment longer.
Xue Ya noticed that Yi Yefeng was looking at him, fearing that he would complain to He Xulan, so she lowered her head and ate sullenly, and her eating speed became faster. He Xulan seemed not to notice the undercurrent between the two of them, and told Xue Ya to eat more slowly, and then asked Yi Ye to eat more slowly.
Ye Feng sat at the teahouse behind the screen.
"Are there many guards guarding Lei Qiurong?" He Xulan poured a cup of tea for Yi Yefeng.
"There are five dedicated jailers guarding him. In addition, four people were transferred from the army. The iron chain on Lei Qiurong's feet weighs fifty kilograms. It will be difficult to escape from the sky prison." Yi Ye replied.
Hearing this, He Xulan frowned slightly and asked about other matters, "His Majesty summoned you privately, did you say anything?"
Yi Yefeng thought for a moment, "I said a lot."
"Um?"
"Tell me to get married as soon as possible."
He Xulan raised his eyes, "Has he been looking for a candidate?"
Yi Yefeng lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty mentioned Princess Kangman."
"Kou Niang?" He Xulan tapped his fingers on the armrest a few times and thought, "She seems to be getting haircut this year. Your Majesty is going to let you be your consort, right?"
"Your Majesty means not to build another princess palace, but to marry Princess Kangman according to the etiquette of marrying a daughter of a noble family and become the daughter-in-law of the Yi family."
Princess Kangman is Cui Lingjing's only sister who has not left the court. However, this sister is Cui Lingjing's half-sister and is not favored. She is no different from an invisible person in the palace. Therefore, He Xulan was not surprised when he heard Cui Lingjing's plan.
In this way, Yi Yefeng can become his Cui Lingjing's brother-in-law, and Yi Yefeng can continue to be a general.
"I met Kou Niang once a few years ago. She is a well-behaved girl who doesn't talk much." He Xulan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What do you think?"
Just as Yi Yefeng was about to answer, the sound of something falling to the ground suddenly came from the other side of the screen. He Xulan immediately got up and walked over there. Yi Yefeng thought for a moment and walked over.
As soon as he passed by, he saw He Xulan carrying Xue Ya who was sitting on the ground to the beauty's couch. Xue Ya's face was pale, holding her stomach, and called He Xulan in a crying voice, "Brother, my stomach hurts."
He Xulan touched Xue Ya's belly and pressed it down a little. Xue Ya immediately took a breath, her eyes instantly turned red, and she cried out aggrievedly that it hurt. He Xulan touched it again, and then looked at the table.
He seemed to have thought of something about the meal, and then called Eunuch Huang, "Bring some digestive medicine, I remember the palace has prepared it." Then he said to Yi Yefeng beside him, "You'd better go to the study and wait for me, I'll wait.
come over."
After Xue Ya took the medicine for digestion, his stomach pain gradually disappeared, but he was too embarrassed to see others and wanted to bury his face, but He Xulan refused to allow him to bury it, and even held his face and said, "Have you eaten anything else?"
thing?"
"I... didn't." Xue Ya's voice was muffled as two pieces of flesh were squeezed out of her cheek.
He Xulan let go of Xue Ya when he heard this, "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. You go take a shower first, and I have to go to the study."
Seeing He Xulan's suddenly cold tone, Xue Ya immediately grabbed He Xulan's sleeve and said, "Brother, let me tell you, I... I had something else to eat at Shuixi Palace before."
"Did Tongtang get it for you?"
Xue Ya wanted to nod, but thought that if He Xulan asked Tongtang, his lie would be exposed, so he told the truth, "No, I got it from General Yi." Seeing that He Xulan's eyes seemed strange, he immediately felt sorry for him.
Explaining his crime, "I really didn't eat much, so I just ate a little bit of him, and he didn't eat. It was very wasteful. I... this can't be considered bullying."
He Xulan watched Xue Ya explain nervously and put her on her lap, "Xue Ya, what did I tell you? I don't like you lying to me. If you were full before, you should tell me, right?"
I want you to be honest with me, and I don’t want you to hide anything from me.”
Xue Ya bit her lower lip and could only admit her mistake honestly, "Brother, I was wrong. I won't do this next time."
"Since it's wrong, what should I do?" He Xulan asked.
Xue Ya's face suddenly collapsed, and he looked at He Xulan pitifully, "Brother, can you not fine me gold? Can you fine me something else?"
He Xulan shook his head, "This is the only way I can make you remember." He let go of Xue Ya, "Go get me a piece of gold."
Xue Ya handed over the piece of gold with great pain. Even though he had gone to take a bath, he still felt uncomfortable. These days, he was pampered by He Xulan and completely forgot about handing over the gold when he did something wrong.
He just ate a little more, and He Xulan punished him like this. It was too much!
No, He Xulan didn't punish him because of the food, it must have been because of Yi Yefeng.
Humph, then next time he bullies Yi Yefeng, he will do it more discreetly.
"Xue Ya, a piece of warm jade fell out of your clothes."
Tongtang's voice came from outside.
Warm jade?
Ah, he almost forgot Nuanyu.
"You put the jade on the table outside."
After Xue Ya took a bath, she quickly put on her clothes and came out of the bathroom. Nuan Yu was lying quietly on the table. He walked over and picked it up. After observing carefully for a while, he saw that it was indeed the piece that Yin Qingxuan had taken away from him.
, and it was not damaged, so I put it on my neck again.
When He Xulan came in from outside, he showed it to He Xulan and said, "Brother, look."
When He Xulan saw the warm jade on Xue Ya's neck, his eyes changed slightly, "How did you come back?"
He walked to the bed and sat down.
"Tonight at the banquet, I met Yin Qingxuan, and he returned this piece of warm jade to me. Brother, you said he is so strange." Seeing that He Xulan seemed to be ready to reach out to touch the warm jade, Xue Ya raised her head
Neck, but suddenly, there was a light touch on the neck.
He Xulan took off the warm jade and after looking at it for a while, he stood up and said, "Don't wear it again."
Xue Ya was surprised, "Why?"
He Xulan did not explain why, but just said: "If you like warm jade, I will make another piece for you in the future."
"But... wasn't this made by your mother-in-law?" In Xue Ya's concept, the things made by her mother-in-law should be the best things in the world. He Xulan gave him the things made by his mother-in-law, which represented his
I have feelings for myself, but now He Xulan wants to take away this piece of warm jade.
"Xue Ya, there must be a reason why he suddenly returned it to you. I'm afraid he might have tampered with this piece of jade, so let's not wear it now, okay?"
When Xue Ya heard He Xulan say this, he could only agree, but he still felt it was a pity because he liked that piece of jade very much.
He Xulan came back from bathing, but Xue Ya was still awake. He remembered that Cui Lingjing said that He Xulan was injured and asked about the matter. He Xulan was so entangled that he had no choice but to take off his clothes and expose his back.
Xue Ya only touched He Xulan's front last time. She didn't expect that there was such a long wound on He Xulan's back. Although the wound was almost healed, it was not difficult to imagine the tragic situation of the injury at that time.
"It must hurt a lot, right?" Xue Ya didn't dare to touch it.
"Fortunately, it only hurt for a while." He Xulan looked back at Xue Ya and saw her eyes were red, so she put her clothes back on, "It doesn't hurt at all now."
Xue Ya sniffed and silently hugged He Xulan tightly.
He Xulan coaxed her for a long time and finally convinced Xue Ya that he was not in pain. Then, the two of them lay on the bed. Xue Ya had eaten too much and was not sleepy. Then she thought of another thing, "Brother, I just heard you and Yi
The general has spoken, does he want to marry the princess? Does that slow princess look good?"
"He doesn't want to marry because he has no intention of getting married." He Xulan's hand gently patted Xue Ya's back to help him sleep.
Hearing this, Xue Ya raised her head slightly and said, "You won't even marry a princess? Is he a fool?"
He Xulan looked at Xue Ya.
Xue Ya continued: "I heard Mr. Shu said that marrying a princess requires a lot of blessings in three lifetimes." He lay down again and rested his head on He Xulan's chest, "I heard that the princess's dowry was very rich, and it was full of blessings.
Gold.”
He Xulan seemed to understand something when he heard the gold. He said cooperatively: "Yes, it's all gold."
Xue Ya blinked and raised her head again, "Brother, it would be great if you were not the queen mother, but a princess."
He Xulan curled his lower lip, "But even if the princess gets married, the princess's dowry still belongs to the princess. Even the prince-in-law cannot touch it."
"I didn't say I wanted to move, I just wanted to see that men who touch a woman's dowry are bad guys." Xue Ya lay down again, but not long after, he raised his head again with a nervous look on his face, "Brother, will you get married?"
He suddenly thought that He Xulan would become emperor in the future. If He Xulan became emperor, he would definitely have a concubine like Cui Lingjing. Then could he stay with He Xulan like this in the future? What if those ladies couldn't stand him?
"I am the Queen Mother, how can we get married? Go to sleep, it's late at night." He Xulan pushed Xue Ya's head down, but Xue Ya struggled and raised her head again, "What if my brother has a chance to get married in the future? I said if."
