Ye Songyan was equally angry. After all, Ruhua was his biological sister who had the same father as him, and she had always been close to him. When he saw his father and grandfather patronizing and scolding the prince of Qinghe, he said:

"Grandpa, father, although Prince Qinghe is scornful of his sister, his majesty sent her out of the palace overnight. I am afraid that she will lose the election. This matter is related to my sister's reputation and must be handled properly."

After Ye Zelin finished talking about this matter, his face was calm. Suddenly hearing Ye Songyan's words, he was unhappy for no reason: "How to deal with it properly? Do you mean to marry Ruhua into the Qinghe Palace?"

Ye Songyan knew he had made a mistake, "Second brother, that's not what I meant."

Ye Zelin said: "I think that's what you mean."

Ye Songyan said: "That's really not what I meant."

Ye Zelin mocked, "You are interesting. My sister was bullied, but you want to marry her to the person who bullied her. Sure enough, she was not born by Aunt Xu, and she cannot be considered your biological sister."

The old general looked unkind. Ye Zelin's words clearly showed that he was the legitimate son of the main wife and Yan'er was the concubine. The old general raised his hand to interrupt the two brothers who were about to argue and reprimanded Ye Zelin, "Why are you arguing? Yan'er didn't say anything." What, you are the only one who talks a lot."

Hua Fushu stepped forward and pulled off Ye Zelin's clothes, signaling him not to argue with the old man.

Ye Zelin obeyed Hua Fushu's wishes and said nothing more.

Ye Shiheng glanced at Ye Zelin, and said seriously to the old general: "Father, I invite you here just to tell you about Hua'er. I am her father, and I will seek an explanation for her. No matter how important her reputation is, it is not as important as hers." Happiness in life is important. It is impossible for the Ye family to marry the Prince of Qinghe. My daughter can marry anyone, but not the Crown Prince of Qinghe."

The old general's face was a little livid. In his opinion, what Ye Shiheng said was to tell him that Ruhua's marriage had nothing to do with him and that he, as a grandfather, did not need to intervene.

Naturally, Ye Shiheng didn't know what the old general was thinking. In his opinion, reputation is a false thing. Marrying into a royal family, even if you enjoy endless glory and wealth, and have a distinguished status, is not as important as your daughter's happiness in life. , and the marriage between Ye Jiazhen and the Qinghe Palace will definitely drag the Ye family into party struggles in the court.

He said, "It's getting late, you and Xiaosi go back to bed."

The old general said: "I can't sleep."

His only granddaughter was bullied, and his son refused to allow him to interfere in his granddaughter's marriage. How could he sleep?

"If you can't sleep, then you can't sleep. My son has taken the first step."

Ye Shiheng bowed his hands and went back to the bedroom to see his daughter.

"Yan'er, go with grandpa to see Hua'er." The old general said.

"Yes." Ye Songyan said.

The old general and Ye Songyan had just walked a few steps, and before they even stepped out of the main hall, Ye Shiheng's voice came, "Father, please see Hua'er tomorrow. Hua'er has gone to sleep and the lights have been turned off."

The grandfather and grandson of the old general stopped abruptly.

At this time, Ye Zelin chuckled and said, "Grandpa."

The old general turned around, and the bright candlelight shone on Ye Zelin's body. He could clearly see the contempt, disdain, and ridicule on Ye Zelin's face.

Ye Zelin saw the old general looking at him, the contempt in his eyes not diminishing but growing, and he called the old general by his first name, "Ye Changting, you have lived for most of your life, and now you are old enough to smell the fragrance of coffins, you have never thought about opposing Ruhua at that time. Why did my father, who participated in the concubine selection, change his mind in just a few days and support you in sending Ruhua to the election?"

The old general frowned, "Did you do anything?"

Ye Zelin sat swaggeringly on the pear wood chair behind him, with his back leaning against the wooden chair and his legs crossed, as if he was a noble man who only enjoyed himself. If he was offered another Biluochun, it would be more like that.

He said, "My grandson did it. I persuaded my father to support you in sending Ruhua to the palace for promotion, because I know that even if Ruhua is lucky enough to be selected, His Majesty will not choose Ruhua as his concubine."

The old general asked: "Why not?"

Ruhua has a peerless appearance, is it impossible for a man not to be tempted?

Hua Fushu quietly watched her husband's performance from the side.

Ye Zelin said: "Grandpa, what do you think His Majesty would think of an imperial concubine with a prominent family background and military power in her family?"

The old general was startled, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if he was thinking of something. The imperial family of the Song Dynasty had many concubines with military power from their mother's clan, and most of them met a miserable end. Among them, the most tragic end was Emperor Taizong's concubine Qi. For murdering the prince, Taizong ordered him to be cut in half. Concubine Qi's mother's family also executed the nine clans for various crimes.

There are also the virtuous concubines of Emperor Zhenzong. More than 20 years ago, the competition for the crown prince was fierce. The emperor dreamed that Concubine Xian and the King of Jin were plotting to regicide and kill their father. Emperor Zhenzong executed Concubine Xian's mother and son, and dismissed Concubine Xian's mother's family from office and demoted them to a remote place in Lingnan.

Concubine Qi's fate was deserved, and the fate of Concubine Xian and her son were somewhat innocent.

"Your Majesty is kind. If Ruhua is really attracted by Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not treat Ruhua coldly." The old general said.

Ye Zelin chuckled, "You are getting more and more confused as you get older. The human heart is the most difficult thing to fathom in the world, especially the heart of an emperor. I don't mind telling you one more thing. Yesterday, the Prince of Qinghe asked the Queen Mother to ask for a marriage from Your Majesty. Your Majesty I don’t agree, Your Majesty said that a girl from the Ye family can marry into any family, but she cannot marry into the royal family or the Qinghe Palace."

He deliberately paused for a moment and looked at the wrinkled old general, "Does the Qinghe Palace dare to marry a daughter of the Ye family that His Majesty doesn't even want to marry? Does the Ye family really dare to marry Ruhua into the Qinghe Palace?"

After squinting at Ye Songyan, Ye Zelin said again, "Grandpa, which one is more important is the future of the fourth brother or the descendants of the Ye family. If you get what you want, you may also lose what you have. For this reason, you are more important than your grandson." Understand."

When the point was made, what should be said was said. Ye Zelin stood up, looked at the flowers, stretched out his long arms, and the slender fingers had clear joints, which were very beautiful.

Hua Fushu smiled knowingly, held Ye Zelin's hand with her white hand, intertwined her fingers with his, and went back to Guanju Pavilion.

The old general walked to a wooden chair and sat down slowly. His eyelids were drooped and his expression was a little depressed. He sighed loudly for nearly a cup of tea. He said, "After all, I am old, and I can't see as well as a young man." thorough."

Ye Songyan squatted down, looked up at his old grandfather, and asked: "Grandpa, with the identity and status of the Ye family, sister Ruhua does not need to run for this election. You always love your sister, but you insist on giving her away Are you running for Yan'er?"

The old general stroked Ye Songyan's head with his old rough hands, and gave all his tenderness to his little grandson who had been raised by his own hands. He said, "Yan'er, your father has never cared about you. Who else can you do except grandpa?" I can make plans for you. Grandpa is getting old. One day he will leave and send Ruhua to run for election. If she is lucky enough to become the imperial concubine, Yunlu will be reused and you will also get some benefits, not to mention Ye Zelin. Yes, with your friendship with Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty doesn't care for Hua'er's sake, you will be able to rise to the top and become a very popular minister in the future. You and Hua'er have a deep love for each other, Yun Lu and Ye Zelin have a bright future, and Hua'er will not I will not take care of you, so that even if grandpa is gone, you and your mother can live more comfortably."
