"Who does the Zhou family care about? What does it have to do with this king." Xiao Mingce said indifferently, "It's you, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth."

"The Zhou family is the elders of the three dynasties,? If you can get the support of Prime Minister Zhou, then the crown prince will be yours at your fingertips, don't you think it's a pity?" Ye Yao asked, completely ignoring what he said.

Xiao Mingce's veins were throbbing,? This man took his words as a deaf ear!

"I didn't think about that position before. What do you want Prime Minister Zhou's support for? Besides, his daughter is the current empress? How could he really support other princes and princes?" Xiao Mingce said with a sullen face: "If you talk so nonsense again, ? I don’t know how I will die someday.”

"Okay,? I won't talk anymore." Ye Yao made a gesture to shut up, but couldn't hold back after thinking about it: "I didn't think about it before,? What about after that?"

"You want to be the crown princess?" Xiao Mingce's expression was inexplicable.

"I don't want to." Ye Yao shook his head: "I want to be an ordinary person, pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely."

"I can't tell,? You still have such noble ambitions." Xiao Mingce chuckled lightly, pressing his palm on the back of his hand: "But it's impossible for ordinary people, and the princess might still be able to compete."

"What do you mean?" Ye Yao thought he understood, but he hoped he didn't.

"Since someone wants me to die for that position, how can I let him do so?" Xiao Mingce said in a low voice, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

Ye Yao blinked,? Shit, did he just say this to him so lightly?This is to trust him?Or do you want the support of the Ye family behind him?

Although he is a little clever, he is really not suitable for conspiracy!

Ye Yao remained silent for a long time, Xiao Mingce was the emperor in the book,? Logically speaking, he shouldn't stop him, but in fact he didn't want to stop him either. He is an adult now and can be responsible for his own choices.

What's more, if someone wants to kill him, he can't let him go easily.

"Uh..." Ye Yao hesitated, thought for a while and said, "I will help you keep it secret, but I won't help you persuade my father to support you. You have to convince him yourself."

The idea is naive.

Xiao Mingce looked at Ye Yao with complicated eyes, put his hand on his head and rubbed it: "Just pretend you don't know anything, and be more careful when you speak in front of outsiders in the future, don't accidentally get yourself burned."

"I'm not a child. I know what to say and what not to say. You should think about how to find out the person who bribed the killer and assassinated you." Ye Yao didn't want to continue talking about this dangerous topic. The man himself said don't talk nonsense, but in the end he spoke more loudly than him. He was really speechless. Ye Yao quickly changed the subject: "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Originally, Xiao Mingce was not going to participate in the county magistrate's moon festival dinner, but now that Xiao Mingyu and Zhou Xueyu came, Ye Yao was not sure.

Xiao Mingce gave a faint "hmm".

He recovered very well, and it's no problem to walk to the banquet hall, but Ye Yao still couldn't help telling him: "Don't drink, eat light."

"Okay." Xiao Mingce smiled, "If you don't drink, you can help me pick up whatever you can eat."

"Okay." Picking vegetables is a matter of little effort, but Ye Yao doesn't mind helping.

So when it was time to eat at night, the picture on the dinner table became like this.

The county magistrate wanted to pour wine for Xiao Mingce, but Ye Yao took the glass away and said righteously: "My lord's injury is not healed, so I can't drink."

Xiao Mingce nodded with a smile.

Ye Yao helped Xiao Mingce scoop up a bowl of soup and put it in front of him. Xiao Mingce picked up a chicken leg, and Ye Yao quickly reminded him: "Your injury is not healed yet, so you can only eat light."

However, Xiao Mingce sent the chicken legs to his bowl, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "Reciprocity is a courtesy."

This chicken is a freshly killed local chicken, and it tastes much better than the frozen meat in the last days. Ye Yao readily accepted: "Thank you!"

The relationship between the two is natural and harmonious, but it makes other people at the table have different thoughts.

Of course the magistrate's family thought they had a good relationship, otherwise Princess An would not have come here overnight after the prince was injured.

Ye Lingshuang was relieved, if Xiao Mingce treats his little brother sincerely, then this marriage is not bad, and she can treat him as her own family in the future.

Although Xiao Mingyu felt that his fifth brother was disrespectful to serving food for a fool, but it was a matter between them, and it was not good for him to say it at the dinner table if he had an opinion, so he turned around and helped Zhou Xueyu serve a bowl of meatball soup.

And Zhou Xueyu probably had the most complicated expression at the table, but when there were outsiders, he always pretended to be knowledgeable and self-cultivated, so he could only grit his teeth with hatred in his heart.

It's not that Ye Yao didn't notice Zhou Xueyu's eyes from time to time. For him, eating is more important, and children who have been in the last days can't afford to be hurt.

And when he saw Zhou Xueyu eating, he felt that he was reincarnated from starvation. He took a spoonful of soup and drank it in several mouthfuls.

Forget it, he can't learn such etiquette.

After dinner, it was not completely dark, but the moon was already hanging in the sky.

The activity of setting off the river lanterns will start a little later, but according to the usual rules, the riverside has already started to be lively.

Xiao Mingyu couldn't wait to take Zhou Xueyu out of the county magistrate's mansion. It didn't look like he was here to see his seriously injured brother, but to play.

"Go and play too." After Xiao Mingce finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi who was supporting him: "Give Wangfei some money."

He was walking back slowly, Ye Yao was not far away, and Ye Lingshuang and the others followed behind them.

"I'm not short of money." Ye Yao said.

Xiao Mingce gave him a bluffing look: "You take what this king gave you."

Ye Yao pursed her lips, thinking that the free money should not be for nothing, just accept it.

Ye Lingshuang noticed his expression and thought it was funny, he was silly, just like a child.

"Let's forget it this time, my lord. Ayao and I will go on a trip together. Of course, my sister will cover all the expenses." Ye Lingshuang said lightly.

Compared with money, the Liu family will not lose to a prince.

"What did the second sister say? What you gave him was your heart, and what I gave him was my heart. Naturally, it's different." Xiao Mingce's tone sounded normal, and he vomited to death in his heart. If he hadn't been injured Can't walk around for a long time, which round will Ye Lingshuang take Ye Yao to play.

Ye Lingshuang stopped talking, but judging by her expression, not only was she not angry, she was quite satisfied with what Xiao Mingce said.

Ye Yao was caught in the middle, the two of them were secretly competing, of course he understood but pretended he didn't understand, and he could still get two pocket money, so happy.

After sending Xiao Mingce back to the room, Lin Yi handed Ye Yao a large purse, Ye Yao smiled and said "You're welcome", and put it in his pocket.

His hot pot restaurant still only has one hot pot, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. Huang Shang's reward can save a little bit.

Walking out of the mansion slowly with Ye Lingshuang, Ye Yao's footsteps became much lighter.

"Very happy?" The corners of Ye Lingshuang's lips curled up.

Ye Yao pursed his lips, trying to hide that he was really happy after taking the money: "It's okay."

"Second sister has changed her opinion of King An today, maybe father is right." Ye Lingshuang said.

When her father wanted to marry Ye Yao to Xiao Mingce, she was the only one in the family who objected. Unfortunately, it was useless for her to object even if the imperial decree was issued. She was so angry that she didn't even attend the wedding. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful.

"Second Sister, that's all he needs to do." Ye Yao could take it easy, he didn't think Xiao Mingce's behavior at dinner was worth changing, but he was just using him to disappoint Zhou Xueyu so that he could give up his attachment.

Perhaps there is also a purpose to let outsiders see that they have a good relationship, Xiao Mingce will gain General Ye's support.You know, before the incident last year, Xiao Mingce was the most popular candidate for the crown prince. Now that the scandal has become a good match, and it can be spread as a good story, Xiao Mingce can come to clean up at any time.

Although that book is full of pitfalls, but one thing is right, Xiao Mingce is indeed very scheming.Who knew that he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Xueyu, did he do it for others to see?

As for this other person, of course it is himself and the Ye family and Liu family behind him.

It seems that Xiao Mingce still decided to participate in the fight for the position of prince as the plot developed, but he didn't know if the follow-up would be as bloody.

"Ayao." Ye Lingshuang stopped and looked at Ye Yao seriously: "Just do what you want, you are not alone, even if you get into trouble, the Ye family and the Liu family can keep you."

Ye Yao was stunned, what did Ye Lingshuang mean by this?Could it be that she saw Xiao Mingce's ambition and thought she would help him?

"Second sister, you..."

"Hush." ​​Ye Lingshuang interrupted Ye Yao's unfinished words, "You don't need to say it, as long as you understand it in your heart."

This was like playing charades, and it made Ye Yao more aware of the conjecture in his heart. This second sister is not easy!

"Don't talk about these things, it's a rare festival, it's fun." Ye Yao thought about it and changed the topic.

God knows, he really doesn't want to get involved in the dispute.

It really makes people want to cry without tears.

Ye Lingshuang was very thoughtful, and understood that Ye Yao didn't want to talk about it, so she took the initiative to talk to him about other things: "The Moon Festival here is boring, but the Moon Festival in Su City is really lively. The entire Su River is full of river lanterns. Cruise on the river is like entering a fairyland, if you have a chance in the future, the second sister will take you to play."

"Sucheng, it's a good place with mountains and rivers, and I heard there are many delicacies." Ye Yao knew about Sucheng in previous travel notes, and the author was full of praise for it, which fascinated him.

"It's true that there are mountains and rivers, and there are a lot of delicacies. If you like it, the second sister will send you some local specialties next time when I go back." Ye Lingshuang really wanted to lure Ye Yao back to the villa, but she also knew that she could only think about it.

The two talked while walking, and they arrived on the street without knowing it. Compared with usual, there were many more people.

On the street, there are stalls selling lanterns, river lanterns, small toys, and snacks, one after another, but they are quite neat.

This is the same scene as the night market. Ye Yao only feels nostalgic looking at it. After the end of the world, people are fighting against zombies for survival. Where can there be such a lively night market full of joy.

"Choose whatever you want, Second Sister will pay for you." Seeing Ye Yao standing still at the street corner, Ye Lingshuang patted him on the shoulder, her words were so generous.

Even though she is an older sister and a rich older sister, Ye Yao has no habit of spending girls' money. Before, she thought about taking two pocket money, but it was just thinking about it. He really looked down on him for letting himself accept Ye Lingshuang's money.

Ye Yao took out the money bag in his pocket: "Sister, you can pick whatever you want, and someone will pay for it."

Ye Lingshuang twitched the corners of her mouth, was she showing affection to her?

"Your money is too little, not enough for my sister to buy a piece of jewelry, and there are too few things that my sister can see in this poor and remote village."

Now it's Ye Yao's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth, a rich woman who flaunts her wealth is really amazing.
