every step of the way

Ganquan Palace.

"My son, please greet my father!" Ye Xuan and Ye Can greeted Ye Mian in unison.

Ye Mian personally helped Ye Xuan up, and said: "The injury is not healed, so I come to say hello! Could it be that I still need you to say hello?"

Ye Xuan said: "Father, my son is not that weak!"

Ye Can came out to smooth things over with a smile, and said, "Father, Xuan'er is here to accompany my son! Father, didn't you ask me for something?"

"Has the imperial doctor seen it? Are you sure it's all right!" Ye Mian asked.

Ye Can said: "Father, the imperial doctor has seen it. It's all right!"

"That's good! That's good!" Ye Mian said.

Ye Can said: "Father, why did you come to me today?"

"Chan'er, you are twenty-two today!" Ye Mian said.

As soon as Ye Xuan heard Ye Mian ask this question, he guessed a little bit in his heart, and was a little angry for a while.Even he himself didn't know why this anger came from.

Ye Can didn't understand the meaning behind this question, and answered obediently: "Yes! Erchen is 22 years old this year!"

Ye Mian said: "At this age, the children of ordinary people are all married, and a few grandchildren are already in their arms. Of you, only your elder brother is married. Your mother and concubine said, show you You are not happy with these girls. I and your mother and concubine think about it, you have suffered a lot outside, and you are unwilling to force you. Now, you are 22 years old, and you have not yet accepted a princess, and you are not a brother at all. Take responsibility! Now, your third younger brother is also, for some unknown reason, addicted to sex and sex, does not marry the princess, and spends all day with the prostitutes in the brothel Chuguan! The fourth and fifth are not thinking about it. Xuan'er just Let alone!"

Ye Xuan was inexplicably shot at the side, and said innocently: "My son is still young!"

Ye Mian said: "Eighteen and still young? During my time, your eldest brother and your second brother were both born!"

"Then, my son's health is not good!" Ye Xuan said, "The doctor Qiao said, my son should not waste his energy too early!"

"It's because Doctor Qiao said that I dare not force you! Otherwise, as a crown prince, let alone an heir, he doesn't even have a crown princess. Isn't that plausible!" Ye Mian said, "However, Can'er, You can’t hide anymore! Your mother and concubine came to tell me yesterday that she picked another princess for you and asked me to marry you. That girl is Wang Siyan, the youngest of Xueshi Wang, who is as old as Xuan’er. You should get married at the age of 16, but for you, I have waited for two years, and now I am still in my boudoir! I also think it is good! I came to you today to finalize this marriage!"

"I don't agree!" Ye Can flatly refused.

Ye Mian said: "I'm just telling you today. I don't care if you agree or not!"

"I won't marry you! Even if the marriage is bestowed by the emperor, I won't marry you!" Ye Can suddenly knelt down and said, "I only want to be with the person I like!"

Ye Mian said: "Do you have someone you like? You tell me who you like, and I will give you a marriage!" By this time, Ye Mian was no longer picky about his daughter-in-law, as long as he brought back a clean woman Girls will do.

"..." Ye Can just knelt down and didn't speak any more.

"One by one, it's all like this!" Ye Mian said angrily, "I thought that if you don't speak, I will have nothing to do with you, right?"

Seeing that Ye Mian was really angry, Ye Xuan said: "Father, don't be angry! Second Brother, he didn't mean to contradict you! It's just that the woman that Concubine Rou is looking for for Second Brother is not suitable!"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Ye Mian said, "You should tell me!"

"Father, you are talking about the young daughter of Bachelor Wang, but she is gone!" Ye Xuan paused, and then said, "The daughters of ordinary families have already married as wives, and they have given birth to one or two children." And the daughter of Wang Xueshi's family hasn't been married yet! They are not royal, and the daughters who can't get married say they are waiting for Brother Sanhuang. Who knows why? Besides, Wang Siyan's age is already the same as Brother Erhuang doesn't match! What I mean by this son is that the emperor can think about it again! After all, this is about the happiness of Brother Erhuang's life and the peace of the Xianwang Palace!"

Ye Xuan's words were sincere.

Ye Mian also felt that Ye Xuan's words were reasonable, and said: "I know what you mean. I didn't say that he must marry the daughter of Wang Xueshi, but I just wanted him to marry a princess as soon as possible. In this way, a member of his palace You can teach the mistress to do the big things! You can ask him, when does he plan to get married?"

Ye Xuan was speechless.What Ye Mian hoped for was actually quite normal.Is there any parent in the world who doesn't want their children to get married and start a career as soon as possible?However, Ye Xuan didn't want Ye Can to get married in his heart.Ye Can is no longer the best to himself when he gets married!Ye Xuan has a desire for monopoly towards Ye Can that even he himself has not discovered.

East Palace.

The night is deep, and the autumn wind is getting cooler, blowing on people, making people feel chills for no reason.

The servants and shadow guards of the East Palace were all driven to sleep by Ye Xuan.Therefore, in the East Palace, only Ye Xuan was holding a wine jar—drinking—.

Ye Xuan seemed to be drunk, and the corners of his eyes were stained with a few tears.There are a bunch of empty wine jars around.There is also a book-like thing with words.The page that was opened read: Why love and hate.

"Mother, why do you love and hate what you wrote down. Yes! Why do you love and hate? How did your love and hate come from? Did your father treat you very well? So good that you have to What about falling in love with him? Then I hated him because he suddenly treated you badly! Hahahaha..." Ye Xuan laughed suddenly, and tears rolled down again, "Someone is also very good to me! But Mother, he is the same as me! Both are the sons of my father, and in the future, they will all get married! Just treat me as a younger brother! Treat me as a younger brother! Mother, but I seem to like him, what should I do? What should I do? If a man falls in love with his elder brother, he will think I'm disgusting! What should the queen mother, son, son do?..." Ye Xuan cried and fell asleep like this.

What Ye Xuan dreamed in his drunken dream was that this wrong relationship should be buried here!In any case, they are impossible.

On the other side, Ye Can was called back by Ye Mian's servant before he left the palace and returned to the palace.

"Tell me the truth, who is that person you like?" Ye Mian asked Ye Can.

"..." Ye Can lowered his head, still not speaking.

Ye Mian asked seriously: "Is it, is it—Xuan'er?"

Ye Can suddenly raised his head and said, "Father!"

"Slap!" Ye Mian raised his hand and gave Ye Can a slap, saying, "You unfilial son. That's your younger brother! Besides, that's the prince of our Great Yan! Do you know what crime it is to abduct the prince?"

Ye Can wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his hands, and said, "My son, I didn't kidnap Xuan'er! My son doesn't want Xuan'er to do anything, but just wants to stay by his side and protect him!"

"Slap!" Ye Mian slapped Ye Can again, and said, "Guard! He will be the future emperor of Dayan, how can I use you to guard him! I will never allow you brothers to be together!"

Ye Can said: "Father, my son is not you! If you like it, you don't have to get it! You will never understand, guarding a person's happiness! Because, you have always been the one being guarded!"

"Get out of here!"

"My son, leave!" Ye Can kowtowed heavily and left Ganquan Palace.

Day two.

The hangover Ye Xuan missed the morning again.

When Ye Xuan hurriedly went to court, he saw Ye Can kneeling in front of Chonghua Hall.

"Second Brother?" Ye Xuan called out suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Can smiled at Ye Xuan and said, "I'm fine, you can go to court quickly! It's getting late!"

Ye Xuan had no choice but to go to court first.

There has been no war recently, and there have been no disasters in various places, so there is nothing to report in the early court, and the court will soon fall.

After the court, Ye Xuan found Ye Mian in the imperial study.

"Father, Second Brother, did he make any mistakes?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Hmph!" Ye Mian snorted coldly, and said, "This rebellious son, I'm so mad! Leave him alone!"

"But..." Ye Xuan wanted to say something to intercede, but was interrupted by Ye Mian.

"Don't plead for him anymore!" Ye Mian said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't just let him kneel!"

"Yes!" Ye Xuan said with some distress.

Ye Mian said again: "Xuan'er, you are not young anymore, do you have someone you like? If so, just tell me. It doesn't matter if she was born badly, I can let her be your prince and side concubine!"

Ye Xuan said: "Father, why are you talking about Erchen again? Erchen, I don't have a woman I like!"

Ye Mian ignored or selectively ignored what Ye Xuan said, "There is no woman I like", and said to himself: "You are the crown prince, the foundation of the country, and you should establish a crown prince as soon as possible!"

"Father, among the four kingdoms, none of the crown princes has a crown prince!" Ye Xuan made an excuse.

It is true, among the four countries, there is really no crown princess.Yun Luoyan, the crown prince of the Yun Kingdom, is determined to unify the four kingdoms, and he is unwilling to take the personal feelings of his children to heart, so he has not accepted the crown prince so far.Daxia's crown prince is still a seven-year-old milk baby, so naturally there is no crown princess.Rong Weiyu, the crown prince of Rongguo, had a showdown with Ronghuang early and wanted to be with the second prince Rong Weijie.Rongguo only had these two capable princes, and Ronghuang had no choice but to agree.Later, I don't know why it spread to Shikoku.As for Dayan's crown prince, Ye Xuan, he declared to the outside world that he was not in good health and should not lose his Yang Yuan prematurely, so he did not marry for a long time.But who knows the actual situation?

The more Ye Mian thought about it, the more frightened she became, especially Ye Xuan just said that she doesn't like women.Is it possible that Dayan will produce a crown prince like Rong Weiyu?

Ye Mian also couldn't tell Ye Xuan clearly.Ye Xuan is not the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Ye Can, who can be beaten casually.Like Ye Xuan, he was given a board and lay down for three months.Ye Mian can't beat Ye Xuan, plus Ye Mian's guilt towards You Ti and You family, he can't scold him either.

Therefore, Ye Mian had no choice but to say: "Xuan'er, I hope you can get married as soon as possible! I believe that your mother's queen in heaven also hopes that you can get married and start a career as soon as possible!" Now, You Ti is no longer a taboo between father and son. .Occasionally, they also mention it.
