Everyone thought he was dying

Ye Yunze sneered: "My mother really thinks that boy is good?" The contempt for Zhuang Wangshu's eldest son Ye Mingsi was undoubtedly revealed in the words.

It wasn't that he looked down on his nephew, nor was he prejudiced against his absurd younger brother, it's just that that child had been spoiled because no one had taught him well in the early years.

When he was only two or three years old, he secretly strangled a goldfish raised by a noble daughter. When he was four or five years old, he kicked his aunt's cat as a sandbag. .Let him bully everything he dislikes.

However, that brat knew how to be obedient in front of Empress Dowager Xu, which made Empress Dowager Xu love him very much. In order to prevent Princess Zhuang from bullying him, he forcibly raised the eldest son of a concubine to the same status as his legitimate son.Now, it's still whimsical to want that kid to be the crown prince?What a joke!

Ye Yunze would not be so surprised even if Empress Dowager Xu proposed to him to establish the emperor's younger brother.

I don't know how the Empress Dowager Xu, who has always been known for her shrewdness, became so confused when she encountered the matter of her youngest son and eldest grandson.

Empress Dowager Xu was a little uneasy: "Mingsi is young, so there is some ignorance. Teach him well, and you can teach him no matter what. Besides, Huanger, you really need an heir—if you meet again Things like this, people's hearts are unstable, and the foundation will eventually be shaken."

"The queen mother thinks too highly of her son. The son can't teach such a naughty child." Ye Yunze said indifferently: "As the saying goes, three years old look young, and seven years old look old. Ye Mingsi has already developed this kind of disposition. That's it. You love your grandson, and your son has nothing to say, but please distinguish between public and private, and don't forcefully push an unsuitable person to a high position for your own selfishness. Otherwise, it's not loving him, but hurting him he."

"The son will find the heir. If the son of Concubine Zhuang is suitable in the future, it is okay to adopt the son of Concubine Zhuang. If the son of Concubine Zhuang is not suitable, there are still children of the clan who can choose... No matter what, we must find the most suitable one." come out."

Empress Dowager Xu couldn't help it: "Is that why you look down on Mingsi? You don't even want to give him a chance?" She really didn't like Princess Zhuang, and she couldn't even look forward to her belly.

Furthermore, regardless of personal likes and dislikes, she does not want Concubine Zhuang's son to be crowned prince.Concubine Zhuang's natal family is not small and difficult to control. In the future, her son will inevitably be more in line with Concubine Zhuang. How can he be as caring as Ye Mingsi?Concubine Zhuang's son is no good, and those relatives who are out of reach are even worse!

"It's because you think highly of that kid. You didn't hesitate to break into Qianyuan Palace to persecute your parents, but for such a kid..." Ye Yunze shook his head, with an indescribable sneer in his eyes: "A person who treats the people around him as- You are willing to pamper and pamper the boy who comes to be commanded by animals, but my son does not dare. Although my son does not expect Daqi to last forever, he also does not want my Daqi to be a tyrannical king, who will be killed by the second generation! "

"you……"

"Queen mother, please go back. My son will think about the matter of the heir, so I don't need you to worry about it."

Ever since Ye Yunze made it clear what he wanted for Ji Chen, he didn't expect to have a biological child to inherit his position.Over the years, he has been examining potential successors.

He could do this kind of thing by himself, but the Empress Dowager Xu's intervention in this matter always changed the flavor of the matter - it was really not a pleasant thing to be dictated by others and even forced to establish an heir.

After many conflicts, the mother-child relationship between Ye Yunze and Empress Dowager Xu was long gone, and the word "mother" became very vague in Ye Yunze's heart.This time, Queen Mother Xu was aggressive in his injury and gave up on him early, which made him very disappointed in Queen Mother Xu.In this case, it is unrealistic to expect him to be concerned about Queen Mother Xu's mood.He took care of Empress Dowager Xu's mood, who will take care of his mood!

Empress Dowager Xu's face was ashen, and she didn't intend to make fun of herself any more. Today is definitely the most embarrassing day for her since she became Empress Dowager.But she also knew that her eldest son was completely divorced from her.In the future, if she wants to be as affectionate as before, Ye Yunze will not buy it: "Aijia has a headache, go back and rest, and come to see you in a few days, Huang Er, you should also take good care of your wounds."

"Respectfully send off the queen mother." When the queen mother came to the door, Ye Yunze said again: "By the way, queen mother, don't forget, you still need to explain to my son about the matter of you bringing people into the palace."

Empress Dowager Xu paused, and said word by word: "Understood!"

Seeing the empress dowager's complicated skirt disappearing before his eyes, Ye Yunze said to Ji Chen with sarcasm: "Look, the empress mother will always make the best choice for herself."

"It's human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The queen mother only treats you as the emperor, so in the future, you will only treat her as the queen mother. In this way, you won't be sad."

Ji Chen held Ye Yunze's hand.Due to excessive blood loss, Ye Yunze's hands were a little cold, so Ji Chen cupped those hands in front of his chest and kept rubbing them. The precious and precious look made Ye Yunze's heart feel warm.

"It's great to have you here, Ah Chen." Ye Yunze was helped to sit back on the bed, and Ji Chen was sitting beside him, and he could easily rest his head on Ji Chen's shoulder.

Normally, Ye Yunze would definitely not do such a girly thing.But Ye Yunze was in a low mood at the moment, and he happened to meet such a Ji Chen who tolerated him unconditionally, which made him feel that by this person's side, everything was allowed, and no matter how willful he was, he would be cared for carefully, so he naturally He made this gesture of dependence and trust towards Ji Chen.

"Achen, I'm in a bad mood, please coax me."

Ji Chen laughed and said, "Why do you look like a child?" He took out a piece of candy from his sleeve, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into Ye Yunze's mouth, then patted Ye Yunze's head like a puppy, He elongated his tone: "Good boy——"

Ye Yunze suddenly became unhappy: "You are coaxing children, it is too perfunctory!"

"Then let me tell you something about me."

Ye Yunze's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, okay."

Even though he and Ji Chen have known and loved each other for so many years, he really doesn't know much about Ji Chen's past before the uprising.

Ye Yunze only knew that Ji Chen's father was unknown and his mother died early, and Ji Chen was always reluctant to bring up that past.He was afraid of poking Ji Chen's sadness, so he never dared to ask.

Now, Ji Chen is willing to tell him these things, even if it's just to comfort him, it makes him feel very happy.He wants to understand Ji Chen as much as possible, understand the sufferings and sins Ji Chen has suffered, and then treat him better—just like he did to himself.

In the quiet space, Ji Chen's voice spread steadily and rhythmically to the surroundings like ripples.

"As far as I can remember, I have never seen my father, and I was brought up by my mother. My mother, grandfather, and grandmother didn't like me, but they still raised me until I was six years old... I used to be ignorant, and I always resented Mother, since you don't like me, why did you give birth to me? Later, I realized that fate is also needed between relatives. I am a child who is not expected. Of course she doesn't like me, and even... quite annoying I."

"Even so, she didn't let me fend for myself. She gave me a home and a bite to eat. I really shouldn't complain..."

"How can there be such a cruel mother!" Ye Yunze only listened to the beginning, and then hugged Ji Chen, feeling very distressed.

Although he is now a stranger to Empress Dowager Xu, but when we were in trouble together, he also had a good time of deep love between mother and child.He originally thought that the way he and Empress Dowager Xu got along in the past was what a normal mother and child should look like.Who would have expected that Ji Chen's kinship relationship would be so shallow?

Ji Chen patted Ye Yunze's hand: "I don't blame her, really. When I was ignorant, I may have complained, but now, I just think she is a poor person——she was forced by my biological father to do so. Will give birth to me. And my biological father was a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty."

Ye Yunze was thoughtful: "Is this why you resented the previous court?"

"No, if my biological father no longer interferes with my life with my mother, I won't resent him, and I won't like him. At most, I will treat him as a stranger. However, his wife found me Mother and I existed, and then ... a fire and I was an orphan."

"My biological father, who caused the tragedy of my mother's life and killed the lives of my grandfather's family, turned around, and could still find another woman for fun... From then on, I swore that I would Let him pay the price. Without the hatred for him back then, maybe there would be no me now."

Ji Chen's eyes were obviously indifferent, as if he was just describing an incident from the perspective of a bystander, Ye Yunze saw it in his eyes, but felt very distressed.

Ye Yunze thought about it silently, what was he doing at that time?

By the way, at that time, his father hadn't been framed to death by the traitors in the court, and he was still the carefree little master of Ye Mansion.

Ye Yunze tightened his grip on Ji Chen, and said in a muffled voice, "I will love you from now on."

Ji Chen stared at Ye Yunze for a while, and suddenly smiled softly: "Do you know that you look like a child who insists on pretending to be an adult? You obviously need to be loved more, but you always act like you are distressed." other people's appearance."

Ye Yunze: "..."

It's rare for him to show kindness once, and what did he get in exchange... I'm so tired, I feel like I'll never love again!

"Okay, there's no need to do this. Those things are already in the past for me. I thought you wanted to know so much, so I told you." Ji Chen pinched Ye Yunze's slightly puffed face: "Morning I know I'm going to make you unhappy, so I won't say it."

After poking someone's face, he was just about to withdraw his finger when Ye Yunze caught him in his mouth and bit him gently.

Ji Chen pretended to be surprised: "Oh, you are a puppy!"

One sentence made Ye Yunze explode: "You are a dog, a dog bites Lu Dongbin, it doesn't know a good heart!"

Ji Chen: "Ah Ze, you..."

"Shut up, I'm upset, I don't want to talk to you now. I won't listen to what you say!"

Hey, "Zhen" has popped up now, it seems that it is impossible not to be soft.

However, Ji Chen felt that the appearance of Ye Yunze losing his temper was really cute.
