Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?
Chapter 161 Love You More Than You Think
When the time comes to be exposed and then ruthlessly rejected, it is better to leave yourself a little room for imagination.
"emperor……"
Ye Xing yelled, but Xiao Ruifeng didn't respond. Xiao Yangzi looked at Ye Xing, then at Xiao Ruifeng, and finally had no choice but to follow Xiao Ruifeng.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yangzi felt a little puzzled. In the past, the emperor would be happy whenever Xiangye came out, but today the emperor just sat there and looked at the brush without saying a word.
Although he didn't lose his temper, it's better to lose his temper like this, and he didn't eat much for lunch and dinner, so what should he do if this goes on.
He was about to go to Xiangfu to ask Master Xiang, but when he saw that Xiangfu sent someone to deliver something, Xiao Yangzi hurriedly took it into the imperial study.
"emperor……"
Xiao Ruifeng lay on the table and looked up at Xiao Yangzi, but he was too lazy to make a sound, and Xiao Yangzi said, "Prime Minister Ye sent someone to bring things in."
"Take a look."
Xiao Yangzi went to the desk and put down the brocade box in his hand, and then opened it for him, only to see a few exquisitely made pastries inside.
Xiao Ruifeng thought to himself, this should be Zhang Ji's pastry. Could it be that Ye Xing bought it again?
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a note here."
Xiao Yangzi handed the note next to the brocade box to Xiao Ruifeng, Xiao Ruifeng took it and opened it, only to see that it read: It was fished from the river.
Xiao Ruifeng couldn't help laughing, and muttered: "You liar!"
How could the cakes fished up from the river be so complete? They had been soaked in the river water for a long time, and besides, the river water was flowing, so they were still waiting for him to fish them!
He picked up a piece and tasted it, the rosin was crispy and soft, sweet but not greasy, it melted in the mouth, no wonder it was so famous.
Xiao Yangzi on the side thought that the emperor finally smiled, it would be good if he smiled, he was a little curious, it was just a piece of pastry, what's so funny about it?
The Prime Minister would send some gifts, cakes and the like from time to time. Why did it feel like coaxing his wife? Thinking of this little Yangzi, he quickly shook his head, expressing that he shouldn't have such a bold idea. The head has moved.
In the morning court on the second day, several ministers mentioned that several houses in the city were hit by boulders and destroyed yesterday. Fortunately, the houses were abandoned, so no casualties were caused.
"There were no casualties this time because it hit an abandoned house. If it were an ordinary resident, the consequences would be disastrous."
The newly appointed scholar said, and all the ministers agreed, and the minister of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said: "This huge rock falling from the sky is not a normal phenomenon."
Xiao Ruifeng also felt a little strange, and asked Qin Tianjian who hadn't spoken: "Zhao Aiqing is good at divination, what did you discover about yesterday's events?"
Lord Qin Tianjian stepped forward and said: "After yesterday's incident, my minister looked at the stars at night and calculated that yesterday's incident was a vision from heaven. The astrology is pointing to the middle palace. If there is construction in the middle palace, the disaster will continue. "
"Recently, because we have to prepare for the future, we are indeed reorganizing the Zhonggong."
"Wei Chen thinks that it is more appropriate to postpone the discussion for a period of time."
Xiao Ruifeng was listless at first, but when he heard this passage, he suddenly became interested. It was almost in his heart. He smiled and said: "Since Zhao Aiqing said so, there must be your reason. I don't know the other aiqing What do you think?"
It all said that there was a disaster in the middle palace, and they didn't dare to say anything, they would rather believe it or not.
"The minister agrees..."
"I also feel that caution is the best thing to do."
Xiao Ruifeng was completely relaxed. This group of stinky old men forced him to stand up every day. He didn't expect it to be solved so easily today. He left Ye Xing after retreating. The two walked towards the imperial study room. A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed from afar.
"Zhao Aiqing suddenly said that, did you instigate it?"
Ye Xing replied: "Eat the king's salary, and take care of the king's worries."
"If you have a way, you didn't say it earlier, and you have troubled me for so long, Ye Aiqing, what crime should you say?"
"The humble minister didn't know that the emperor didn't want to be an empress before. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent."
"You have read a lot of books and are good at eloquence. I can't beat you in my own opinion, but your method can only be delayed for a while, not for a lifetime."
Ye Xing was slightly surprised: "It turns out that the emperor doesn't want to be a queen for the rest of his life?"
Xiao Ruifeng glanced at him, thinking that I want to make you my queen, would you like it?Alas, if you say this, you will never be able to be a monarch and minister, and you will not be able to get along with each other in harmony like now. It's really bad.
When going to the imperial study, you will pass the imperial garden, Xiao Ruifeng simply walked into the garden, Ye Xing did not stop him, but said: "The emperor hasn't had breakfast yet?"
"I'm not hungry, is Ye Aiqing hungry?"
"My minister isn't hungry either."
"Then let's go for a walk with me." Xiao Ruifeng looked at the scenery in the garden after walking a few steps, and suddenly sighed: "Time flies so fast, thinking about the last time I came to the Royal Garden to return a pond of lotus , and are all withered now."
"The lotus is gone, and it will bloom again next year."
"What about that person? If a person dies, will he lose everything?"
"Why does the emperor have such an idea?"
"I... I never thought that I would be the emperor. Only after I took this seat did I realize how difficult it was for my father before, and how comfortable my life was before. It's a pity that everything can't go back."
Also, I didn't like someone before, I wouldn't be angry and sad because of someone's words, and I wouldn't be happy and giggle because of someone's actions.
"What's so good about being an emperor? He seems to own the whole world, but to put it bluntly, everything is fake."
"How could it be fake?"
"Look, those people don't even know what I look like. They only know that there is someone who has inherited the throne. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty seem to be obedient, but in fact they are more difficult to deal with than one. They all bully me when I just ascended the throne. real power."
"The emperor said this, but wiped out all the recent achievements of this minister."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little sad: "Ye Aiqing is kind to me, isn't it because I am the emperor, you assist me, but you hope that I can be a good emperor."
"If the humble minister really wants to see the emperor get embarrassed, he can't teach anything. Why bother? The emperor can't become a wise king, so what is the matter with the humble minister?"
"Then let's take the incident just now. You colluded with Mr. Zhao to share my worries, but you also said that it was just eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries. If I were not the emperor, if you were not a subject, you would still Is it so hard work?"
Ye Xing was a little helpless, Xiao Ruifeng asked: "Look at you, don't you have nothing to say?!"
"Your Majesty, from the point of view of a courtier, the humble minister should support the emperor to establish a heir as soon as possible, so as to extend the royal family's heirs."
Xiao Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Ye Xing. He didn't know if Ye Xing's words were what he thought, he hesitated and couldn't help asking: "Then what angle do you stand to do this? ?”
Xiaofanwai 9 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
The third day of October was the Empress Dowager's birthday. Before the Empress Dowager said that this matter would be left to her, Xiao Ruifeng didn't ask too much.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the second rank and above have all arrived at Hejinchi."
The birthday was held in Heqianchi, and when the queen mother heard that she could not be crowned queen for the time being, she asked Xiao Ruifeng to look for candidates for a concubine first, so Xiao Ruifeng still could not escape the catastrophe.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to go, he didn't want to marry those women at all, even if he saw it, it was useless, what he wanted to marry was... Ye Xing couldn't help but come back to his mind.
That day in the Imperial Garden, Ye Xing didn't answer the question he asked, but only said that even he himself hadn't come up with the answer yet, and hoped to give him some time to figure it out.
Alas, so how much more time will it take?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ruifeng put away those complicated thoughts, and ordered: "Putting the boat out of the pool."
When he arrived at Hejinchi, he found that everyone had already arrived. After they saluted, Xiao Ruifeng couldn't help but looked around, but he didn't see Ye Xing.
Although it is already late autumn, the scenery of Hejin Pond is still beautiful. The banquet has not yet started, and everyone is busy admiring the scenery, especially the daughters or younger sisters brought by officials, most of them are entering the palace for the first time .
"What is the emperor looking for?"
Xiao Ruifeng turned around, only to see Xiao Luofeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing behind him, just as Xiao Luofeng wanted to salute, Xiao Ruifeng grabbed him.
"Good boy, are you still willing to come back?!"
Xiao Luofeng was helpless: "Brother Huang, Sishui Sect is located in Longyu City, which is quite far away from the imperial city. Even if I go back and forth, it will take a lot of time."
"Hmph, don't forget, if it wasn't for my elder brother who got into this mess, it would be your turn to suffer, so if you still have a little conscience, don't always run out and share my worries for me. "
"Brother Huang, my younger brother is in charge of the Jianghu intelligence network. This is also for the sake of the court. Besides, if my younger brother always stays in the palace, how will I know the information?"
"Come on, you don't need to do it yourself. Anyway, you'd better punish yourself with three cups later."
"Okay, okay, at most I'll stay a little longer this time, anyway, Yesheng is also here."
"Stop provoking me, a loner!"
Xiao Luofeng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the two of them walked slowly around the rockery, the maids and eunuchs were far away, so there was no need to be too cautious, let alone call yourself "Zhen".
"If brother Huang feels lonely, he should find someone to accompany him."
"Looking for you?"
"I heard from my mother that today's birthday is not only to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, but also to find a concubine for you. Look at the beauties in that garden. The emperor is really blessed."
"Hehe, if you like such a blessing, I will give it to you."
"The younger brother has already found someone he likes, so it is naturally useless. When the emperor meets the person he likes someday, he will be able to understand the younger brother's mood."
Xiao Ruifeng's good mood just now lost a little in an instant, and he said lightly: "It's useless to meet someone you like, you have to be happy with each other."
"That's right." After Xiao Luofeng finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong, she turned her head to stare at Xiao Ruifeng, and then gossiped: "Hey, Brother Huang, why do you suddenly express such emotions when you are so good?"
"Just say whatever you want."
"Tch, I don't believe it. Let me guess. This kind of feeling should be related to my own experience. Could it be that you already have a sweetheart, brother?"
Xiao Ruifeng didn't deny it, and Xiao Luofeng became even more gossipy, "If you don't refute, you're acquiescing. Quickly reveal to my brother, which girl is so lucky? Couldn't my brother be able to drink the wedding wine of the emperor's brother when he comes back this time? "
"It would be nice if it was that easy."
"Brother Huang, why are you so unhappy?" Xiao Luofeng thought of Xiao Ruifeng's favorite place to go to Qing/lou, and guessed: "Don't tell me that I am a Qing/lou girl?"
"It wouldn't be too difficult to pick up a Qing/Lou woman into the palace."
"That means...worse than this?"
Xiao Ruifeng nodded, and Xiao Luofeng asked doubtfully, "Who could that be? Ah, could it be the imperial concubine of the father?"
"What's going on in your head?"
"Then you don't want to say it directly. I can only guess by myself. Brother Huang, we grew up together and have such a good relationship. Why do you keep it from me when you have a sweetheart?"
Xiao Ruifeng walked to the stone table and sat down, sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it, and you might get angry if I say it."
Xiao Luofeng walked to him and sat down, wondering: "I will be angry? Why am I angry? Do you like me? Uh, although our brotherhood is good, we are brothers, brother Huang, you are like this wrong."
Xiao Ruifeng rolled his eyes at him, "If I like you, why don't I find out until now?"
"It may be that the younger brother has been away from the palace for a long time recently, and you have missed him more and more, and gradually realized that you have feelings for the younger brother that you shouldn't have. Alas, the queen mother is going to die of anger."
"Hurry up and go where you came from."
Xiao Ruifeng didn't want to talk to him at all, Xiao Luofeng smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, but I can't figure out why I would be angry if you have a sweetheart, so tell me."
Xiao Ruifeng hesitated for a while before saying: "What if I say that the person I like is Ye Xing?"
Xiao Luofeng was stunned, blinked several times before he could react, jumped up in surprise and said, "Do you like Ye Xing?"
"Ah."
"Prime Minister Ye?"
"Ok!"
Xiao Luofeng felt a little unbelievable, and patted his ears, wondering if it was an auditory hallucination?But hearing hallucinations once and hearing hallucinations twice in succession?
He sat down again, and Xiao Ruifeng asked, "Will you be angry?"
"Huh? Why should I be angry?"
"Didn't you like Ye Xing very much before?"
"Brother Huang also said that was before, and I had already let go of that relationship. Besides, the person I like now is Ye Sheng, but Brother Huang, why do you like Ye Xing? Ye Xing is hard to chase!"
Xiao Luofeng had encountered many nails on that piece of ice, so he didn't really hope that Xiao Ruifeng would fall into it, and Xiao Ruifeng himself was also very distressed.
"I don't know why I like him."
"I remember you hated him very much before!"
"Yeah, because he once rejected you, so I have always hated that arrogant and blind man, but I don't know where to start, but I found that he seems to be pretty good."
Xiao Luofeng put one hand on his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "What about Prime Minister Ye? Does he know?"
"I don't know if he knows, but since I became the throne, he has really helped me a lot. I don't understand anything. Those old courtiers stared at me and made mistakes. It all depends on him, otherwise It's messed up."
"Since he is willing to help you everywhere, he must not hate you."
"But what if he just fulfilled his duties as a courtier?"
"I'm not sure about this either. Brother Huang, have you ever thought that even if Ye Xing likes you, it is difficult for the two of you to be together?"
Xiao Ruifeng was discouraged, how could he not have thought about it, but emotional matters are really beyond his control, it's not something he can just say he doesn't like.
At this time, Xiao Yangzi came to report that the birthday had begun, so Xiao Ruifeng and Xiao Luofeng went to attend the table, and this topic was temporarily closed.
At the banquet, the Empress Dowager specially reserved a session for those women to show off their talents. Those women tried their best, but Xiao Ruifeng was always lacking in interest, and his eyes always moved involuntarily to the vacant seat at the bottom.
Ye Xing said he was sick and didn't come to the banquet, Xiao Ruifeng felt that Ye Xing must not come because he didn't want to see him!
Seeing such a situation, Xiao Luofeng thought that Brother Huang might have really fallen into it, why not find a chance to test Ye Xing and see how he feels about Brother Huang?
Xiao Ruifeng didn't want to look at those women, so he could only drink with his head down most of the time, and when he was half drunk, he heard the queen mother ask him in a low voice if he liked anything.
"Mother, son, go to get some air and make a decision when you come back later."
Seeing that he was willing to choose, the Queen Mother naturally didn't dare to push too hard. Xiao Ruifeng didn't go far after leaving the banquet. The Royal Garden was nearby, so he walked to the Royal Garden without knowing it.
I remembered that when I was visiting the Royal Garden with Ye Xing that day, I shouldn't have promised him to let him think clearly, I should have asked for an answer immediately, and I didn't have to worry about it like I am now!
"You are not allowed to follow!"
Xiao Ruifeng ordered, and Xiao Yangzi said: "Your Majesty, it's dark and the road is slippery, and your Majesty has been drinking again, why don't you let the servant follow alone?"
"I told you not to follow, anyone who wants to follow will be killed!"
Xiao Yangzi and the others stopped in a hurry, and Xiao Ruifeng entered the Royal Garden by himself, staggering a little, trying to wake himself up.
I don't know how long I walked in, but suddenly someone grabbed my arm while walking, Xiao Ruifeng was startled, turned around and scolded angrily: "Who dares to follow me, don't you want to live?"
"According to my minister, it is the emperor who doesn't want to live, right? If the emperor takes one step forward, he will enter the lotus pond."
Xiao Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and stared carefully at the person in front of him, but no matter how he looked, there were two shadows, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Strange, why does your voice sound like Ye Xing..."
Ye Xing sighed and said, "How much wine did the emperor drink?"
"It sounds more and more like it."
"The humble minister is Ye Xing."
"You are Ye Xing?" Xiao Ruifeng said with a smile: "Impossible, Ye Xing refuses to see me, he won't come to the palace."
"When did Weichen say...cough cough...don't want to see the emperor?"
Ye Xing coughed a few times while speaking, and his complexion was not very good, but Xiao Ruifeng didn't notice it at all, he just felt a little dizzy all over.
"He knows that I like him, so he deliberately avoids me...pretending to be sick so as not to come to the birthday..."
The more Xiao Ruifeng thought about it, the more wronged he became, and Ye Xing, who heard him say that he liked it, didn't show much surprise, as if he knew it a long time ago.
"The emperor drank too much, I will help you go back and rest."
"Don't go back!"
Xiao Ruifeng yelled loudly, but after the yelling, he wanted to cry again, and murmured: "Why is it so painful to like someone? Why don't you like me? Why..."
After speaking, he threw himself into Ye Xing's arms and hugged him, as if he was really crying, but he didn't seem to, Ye Xing raised his hand to follow his back, and asked: "Whether you like it or rely on it, can the emperor tell the difference?"
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Ruifeng looked up at Ye Xing, but he didn't quite understand. Ye Xing explained: "For example, does the emperor hope that the minister can share the emperor's worries in political affairs, or does he hope that the minister will accompany the emperor to take care of you?"
"I'm slowly learning about politics, and I will learn it one day. Of course, I hope you can stay with me and take care of me, or let me take care of you."
"For example, now, does the emperor hope that the minister will bring the emperor back to the banquet, or do he hope that the minister... kisses you?"
"I..." Xiao Ruifeng felt his heart beating a little faster, and stammered, "I hope you kiss me."
"Then Wei Chen understands."
"But you don't like me."
"My minister has never said that he doesn't like the emperor."
"Then you want to kiss me?"
Xiao Ruifeng felt a little shy after asking, but who knew Ye Xing replied naturally: "No kiss..."
"Why?" Xiao Ruifeng was a little surprised. Hearing Ye Xing's question just now, he thought that Ye Xing also liked him, or was it that the person in front of him was not Ye Xing at all?
But the voice is very similar, the feeling is also very similar, even the appearance that can be seen a little clearly now is exactly the same!
"There are tears and snot all over the face, and there is such a strong smell of alcohol, I am not interested."
As he said he wanted to help Xiao Ruifeng go back, Xiao Ruifeng became unhappy for an instant. He shook off his hand and wiped it with his sleeve directly. How could there be any tears and snot? !
"You lied to me."
"It seems that you are not too drunk. If you don't go back, the queen mother should send someone to look for you."
Seeing that Xiao Ruifeng was still standing there looking at him with a very sad look after finishing speaking, Ye Xing had no choice but to tell the truth: "My minister has a cold, and I'm afraid it will infect the emperor."
Xiao Ruifeng's eyes lit up instantly, "Just because of this?"
"Yes..." As soon as Ye Xing said the words, Xiao Ruifeng rushed forward and bit his lower lip. Ye Xing frowned in pain, but he just reached out to support his waist, and did not push him away. .
Extra Story 10 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
"What are you doing!"
The sudden roar startled the two who were entwining/kissing each other. Ye Xing stepped back a little and looked forward, only to see the queen mother standing there with a few official women.
"Mother, why are you here?"
After being so frightened, Xiao Ruifeng's wine became much more sober, and he looked at the queen mother and her party with some doubts. The anger on the queen mother's face was simply indescribable, and a group of women behind her also had different expressions.
Ye Xing guessed that the Queen Mother must have seen Xiao Ruifeng not go back for so long, so she simply brought a group of women to look for him, and let him choose by the way.
"My minister sees the Queen Mother."
"Ye Xing, you are so brave, you dared to do these things while the emperor was drunk, what crime should you say!"
"The humble minister deserves death."
"Thousands of deaths...one death is enough, come and take Ye Xing into the prison!"
Those guards wanted to step forward, but Xiao Ruifeng stood in front and shouted: "Who dares!"
"Emperor, do you still want to protect him?"
"Mother, what happened just now has nothing to do with him. I forced him. Ye Aiqing was just off guard for a while. If it comes to responsibility, it should be my responsibility."
"You... do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know very well that if my mother has to put someone in the prison, then come for me!"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that the scene was a bit embarrassing, if it continued like this it would only get worse, Ye Xing said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is drunk, all the responsibility lies with the minister, please punish the Empress Dowager."
"That's right, the emperor was drunk, and the prime minister, Ye Xing, as a courtier, committed a crime against his superiors. He was sent to the dungeon to wait for execution."
"I won't allow it, do you think I'm dead?!"
Xiao Ruifeng wanted to go forward, but was held back by Ye Xing. He turned his head and saw Ye Xing shook his head at him, then got up and followed the guards.
"Ye Xing!"
Xiao Yangzi said beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ye must have his reasons for doing this. There are too many people present, the Emperor should bear with it first, and then release Prime Minister Ye."
Xiao Ruifeng clenched his fists resentfully, flung his sleeves and went back to the imperial study room. He ignored the ministers who came over on the way and saluted. After entering the imperial study room, he swept the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground.
"The emperor calm down, take care of the dragon body."
"Your Majesty... What's so good about being an emperor? The Queen Mother has more power than me, and those ministers have more power than me. I'm just a puppet, a puppet without real power!"
Xiao Yangzi and the eunuchs were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Xiao Ruifeng went to the desk and picked up the memorials, and said with a wry smile: "One by one, I wrote this and that. If I refuse once, I will play the second time. If I reject it twice, I will play the third." Three times, what's the point of my refusal? In the end, it's not about compromising!"
After speaking, he also threw those memorials on the ground. Ye Xing picked them up before, but now no one dared to pick them up. Xiao Yangzi saw the Queen Mother coming at the gate of the Imperial Garden just now. He originally wanted to report, but the Queen Mother didn't allow it.
He didn't know that Prime Minister Ye was there, he thought the emperor was alone, so he came in with the queen mother, he didn't expect to see such a scene.
So the emperor and Prime Minister Ye... Recalling some recent events, there are actually traces to follow, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
After Xiao Ruifeng lost his temper, he didn't go back to the dormitory. He just sat at the desk and looked at the writing brush. His chances of saving him from the Queen Mother were too slim.
"Brother..."
Xiao Luofeng came to the imperial study room, saw Xiao Yangzi and the others were all kneeling on the ground, he winked and told them to leave first, and then walked to the desk avoiding the mess on the floor.
"Brother, what happened just now?"
"You should have heard of it. So many people saw it just now."
"Are you and Ye Xing really together?"
"I didn't have time to ask for proof. I just kissed him, and then I was caught by the queen mother. I didn't have time to ask him if he would accept me."
After thinking about it, Xiao Luofeng asked: "Then did he refuse when you kissed him?"
Xiao Ruifeng shook his head, Xiao Luofeng smiled and said: "That's right, who is Ye Xing, that's a big ice cube, he seems to be gentle with people, but in fact he is very distant. If he doesn't like you, he will soon He walked far away, why would he stand and forgive you, I chased him for so long and never even touched him!"
Xiao Ruifeng sighed: "So what, it's me who caused the trouble now."
"Brother Huang, as I said just now, the identity of you and him is destined to be a very difficult road. The reason why the queen mother can turn a blind eye to me is because you are in front, but If you follow this path now, the queen mother will definitely object."
"If she wants to object, she can object. I won't give up anyway. At worst, I won't be the emperor anymore."
"You can't talk nonsense, you must be the emperor, even if it's for you and Ye Xing."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
"Who has the most power in the world, of course, is the emperor. If you and Ye Xing want to be together safely, you must sit in this seat. You are obstructing now because the power is not concentrated enough. If you quit, you will lose any power in your hands, and you will have no power to fight back, and no one will be able to stop you."
Xiao Ruifeng thought about it carefully, and felt that what Xiao Luofeng said made sense, "But if I want my mother to let go, and those courtiers to obey, it's still a long way off."
"You still have me. The forces in my hands will always be used by you. Behind me is the Sishui Sect. We also got to know Xiao Yuyu and the others. It means that the whole world has friends."
"Jianghu..."
"Anyway, don't worry too much. Although the queen mother put Ye Xing into the sky prison, the Ye family has been a prime minister for generations, and the queen mother will not torture him directly, so he is safe for the time being."
"Using torture... no, I'm going to the prison to rescue him."
"Brother Huang!" Xiao Luofeng grabbed Xiao Ruifeng and persuaded him: "It is impossible for you to release people in the past now. The queen mother must have sent many people to guard there, and what happened tonight will be watched by all the officials and women." It’s here, and all the ministers must know by now, and I don’t know how it will be played tomorrow.”
"Then what should we do? You can't just sit around and do nothing, can you?"
"But if you go, it will only make the queen mother more afraid of Ye Xing. How about this, you wait here first, and I will go to the prison to see the situation."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little helpless, and now he had no other choice but to pin his hopes on Xiao Luofeng.
Compared to Xiao Ruifeng who was running around in a hurry, Ye Xing in the sky prison was much calmer, everything in the surrounding mess seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he was at ease.
"Prime Minister Ye is very calm."
Xiao Luofeng walked outside the cell and looked at Ye Xing who was sitting inside, then asked someone to open the lock, he walked in, and Ye Sheng stood guard at the door.
Ye Xing looked up at him, "No matter how anxious you are, it's useless, so why make things difficult for yourself."
"If only Brother Huang could think like you do."
Xiao Luofeng said, squatting down, facing Ye Xing face to face, and asked: "What do you think about Brother Huang?"
"As a courtier, you shouldn't have thoughts."
"You... I thought you only liked women—"
"Emotions are the most unreasonable."
"That's right, although I'm very pleased that you also like my brother, but the road for the two of you is really difficult, let's not talk about those ministers, just the mother's hurdle is very sad."
"I had expected this day a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"That's why you haven't explained your feelings to Brother Huang clearly?"
Xiao Ruifeng's entanglement and pain were all due to Ye Xing's unprepared answer. Now that I think about it, is it because of this reason?
Ye Xing shook his head, "No..."
"What's that for?"
"I haven't responded for a long time because I want to know whether the emperor's dependence on me is the dependence of the emperor on his ministers, or other feelings. The emperor has opposed me everywhere before, and the reason why he changed his attitude is because I gave him some advice after he ascended the throne. help."
"Then why did you openly stand on my brother's side? Your Wenye family has always been neutral."
Ye Xing thought for a while and replied: "I probably want to see what kind of situation he will be like when he becomes an emperor with such a personality."
"You really...do whatever you want."
Xiao Luofeng was a little speechless, because of this idea, he changed from being neutral to supporting. Fortunately, the object of his curiosity was Xiao Ruifeng. If it was the eldest prince back then, they would be miserable.
"Did the Nine Kings come to chat with Wei Chen?"
"Well, Brother Huang asked me to visit you. Originally, he wanted to come by himself, but I think his coming now will only make things worse. I was worried at first, but when I saw You later found out that you were too calm, Prime Minister Ye, have you prepared for it long ago?"
"What kind of preparations is His Highness the Ninth Prince referring to?"
"You have long expected that the queen mother will object, and the ministers will also object, so it is impossible for you to be unprepared. This is not like your character. You should speak out quickly, lest the emperor worry to death."
"It's normal for them to object, but it's not impossible to solve it."
"How to deal with it?"
"The emperor wants to do anything, who dares to object?"
"But Brother Huang doesn't have much real power in his hands..."
"So, just take back the power."
"I don't quite understand. If the power is so easy to get back, there is no need to worry so much."
"Most of the current military power is in the hands of the Ministry of War and the two generals Cao and Meng. General Meng has been stationed at the border all year round, so he is far away, but General Cao is in the imperial city."
"You mean to win over General Cao?"
"General Cao was only loyal to the late emperor. He was single-handedly picked up by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor is gone, his allegiance is naturally to the emperor."
"But he never made it clear."
"That's because he is observing the situation and waiting to see the emperor's attitude towards him. To put it bluntly, if he is not loyal to the emperor, it is useless to hold those military powers. Could it be that he rebelled?
With the example of Xiao Weijian first, he dare not do these actions for the time being. Only when he is reused by the emperor can he reach a higher level. "
"So as long as the trust given by the emperor is enough, General Cao is equivalent to the bargaining chip on the emperor's side? If the emperor has more troops in his hands, then the old courtier will not dare to be too arrogant."
Ye Xing didn't respond, but he didn't refute Xiao Luofeng's words. Xiao Luofeng knew that his analysis should be correct, but he thought of another trouble.
"Where is the queen mother?"
Episode 11 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
"No matter how angry the Empress Dowager is, it's only temporary."
Ye Xing seemed to have a plan in mind, Xiao Luofeng couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but said: "But I think the mother's test should be the most difficult, how can the mother tolerate the emperor's brother liking a man?"
"She will say yes."
"Why?"
"Because she has some guilt towards the emperor."
Xiao Luofeng thought about it carefully, and guessed: "Are you referring to the matter that the queen mother forced the emperor brother to compete for the throne?"
"The emperor never thought of taking this position. I think the queen mother must use the rise and fall of the entire Murong family to convince the emperor to fight for this."
"That's why the queen mother feels guilty towards the emperor's brother. As long as the emperor's brother is willing to give in and act with affection and reason, the queen mother's attitude will not be too tough."
Xiao Luofeng didn't think of this before, thinking about it, it seems that the two aspects that he has been worried about are not so difficult to solve, and he can't help admiring Ye Xing.
"You are a quiet person. You have a lot of things to think about. You have thought of all aspects. But since you know that these are not obstacles, why are you still unwilling to accept Brother Huang?"
"What I'm worried about has never been about these things." Ye Xing looked at the ground indifferently, "It's about wondering whether he can stand up to those gossips in the years to come if we are really together."
After all, the identities of the two of them are too conspicuous. Even if Xiao Ruifeng can use his power to suppress the opposition from all parties, he can't control the mouths of the people all over the world.
"how about you?"
"I don't care what's going on around me."
"That's right, since that's the case, I'll discuss it with Brother Huang first, so that he won't be so worried."
"Um……"
After Xiao Luofeng left the sky prison, he returned to the imperial study room. Xiao Ruifeng was waiting there. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is he? Did the mother torture him? Was the environment in the prison very bad that day?"
"Brother Huang, you ask so many questions at once, which one is better for my younger brother to answer first?"
"Then slow down
"emperor……"
Ye Xing yelled, but Xiao Ruifeng didn't respond. Xiao Yangzi looked at Ye Xing, then at Xiao Ruifeng, and finally had no choice but to follow Xiao Ruifeng.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yangzi felt a little puzzled. In the past, the emperor would be happy whenever Xiangye came out, but today the emperor just sat there and looked at the brush without saying a word.
Although he didn't lose his temper, it's better to lose his temper like this, and he didn't eat much for lunch and dinner, so what should he do if this goes on.
He was about to go to Xiangfu to ask Master Xiang, but when he saw that Xiangfu sent someone to deliver something, Xiao Yangzi hurriedly took it into the imperial study.
"emperor……"
Xiao Ruifeng lay on the table and looked up at Xiao Yangzi, but he was too lazy to make a sound, and Xiao Yangzi said, "Prime Minister Ye sent someone to bring things in."
"Take a look."
Xiao Yangzi went to the desk and put down the brocade box in his hand, and then opened it for him, only to see a few exquisitely made pastries inside.
Xiao Ruifeng thought to himself, this should be Zhang Ji's pastry. Could it be that Ye Xing bought it again?
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a note here."
Xiao Yangzi handed the note next to the brocade box to Xiao Ruifeng, Xiao Ruifeng took it and opened it, only to see that it read: It was fished from the river.
Xiao Ruifeng couldn't help laughing, and muttered: "You liar!"
How could the cakes fished up from the river be so complete? They had been soaked in the river water for a long time, and besides, the river water was flowing, so they were still waiting for him to fish them!
He picked up a piece and tasted it, the rosin was crispy and soft, sweet but not greasy, it melted in the mouth, no wonder it was so famous.
Xiao Yangzi on the side thought that the emperor finally smiled, it would be good if he smiled, he was a little curious, it was just a piece of pastry, what's so funny about it?
The Prime Minister would send some gifts, cakes and the like from time to time. Why did it feel like coaxing his wife? Thinking of this little Yangzi, he quickly shook his head, expressing that he shouldn't have such a bold idea. The head has moved.
In the morning court on the second day, several ministers mentioned that several houses in the city were hit by boulders and destroyed yesterday. Fortunately, the houses were abandoned, so no casualties were caused.
"There were no casualties this time because it hit an abandoned house. If it were an ordinary resident, the consequences would be disastrous."
The newly appointed scholar said, and all the ministers agreed, and the minister of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said: "This huge rock falling from the sky is not a normal phenomenon."
Xiao Ruifeng also felt a little strange, and asked Qin Tianjian who hadn't spoken: "Zhao Aiqing is good at divination, what did you discover about yesterday's events?"
Lord Qin Tianjian stepped forward and said: "After yesterday's incident, my minister looked at the stars at night and calculated that yesterday's incident was a vision from heaven. The astrology is pointing to the middle palace. If there is construction in the middle palace, the disaster will continue. "
"Recently, because we have to prepare for the future, we are indeed reorganizing the Zhonggong."
"Wei Chen thinks that it is more appropriate to postpone the discussion for a period of time."
Xiao Ruifeng was listless at first, but when he heard this passage, he suddenly became interested. It was almost in his heart. He smiled and said: "Since Zhao Aiqing said so, there must be your reason. I don't know the other aiqing What do you think?"
It all said that there was a disaster in the middle palace, and they didn't dare to say anything, they would rather believe it or not.
"The minister agrees..."
"I also feel that caution is the best thing to do."
Xiao Ruifeng was completely relaxed. This group of stinky old men forced him to stand up every day. He didn't expect it to be solved so easily today. He left Ye Xing after retreating. The two walked towards the imperial study room. A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed from afar.
"Zhao Aiqing suddenly said that, did you instigate it?"
Ye Xing replied: "Eat the king's salary, and take care of the king's worries."
"If you have a way, you didn't say it earlier, and you have troubled me for so long, Ye Aiqing, what crime should you say?"
"The humble minister didn't know that the emperor didn't want to be an empress before. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent."
"You have read a lot of books and are good at eloquence. I can't beat you in my own opinion, but your method can only be delayed for a while, not for a lifetime."
Ye Xing was slightly surprised: "It turns out that the emperor doesn't want to be a queen for the rest of his life?"
Xiao Ruifeng glanced at him, thinking that I want to make you my queen, would you like it?Alas, if you say this, you will never be able to be a monarch and minister, and you will not be able to get along with each other in harmony like now. It's really bad.
When going to the imperial study, you will pass the imperial garden, Xiao Ruifeng simply walked into the garden, Ye Xing did not stop him, but said: "The emperor hasn't had breakfast yet?"
"I'm not hungry, is Ye Aiqing hungry?"
"My minister isn't hungry either."
"Then let's go for a walk with me." Xiao Ruifeng looked at the scenery in the garden after walking a few steps, and suddenly sighed: "Time flies so fast, thinking about the last time I came to the Royal Garden to return a pond of lotus , and are all withered now."
"The lotus is gone, and it will bloom again next year."
"What about that person? If a person dies, will he lose everything?"
"Why does the emperor have such an idea?"
"I... I never thought that I would be the emperor. Only after I took this seat did I realize how difficult it was for my father before, and how comfortable my life was before. It's a pity that everything can't go back."
Also, I didn't like someone before, I wouldn't be angry and sad because of someone's words, and I wouldn't be happy and giggle because of someone's actions.
"What's so good about being an emperor? He seems to own the whole world, but to put it bluntly, everything is fake."
"How could it be fake?"
"Look, those people don't even know what I look like. They only know that there is someone who has inherited the throne. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty seem to be obedient, but in fact they are more difficult to deal with than one. They all bully me when I just ascended the throne. real power."
"The emperor said this, but wiped out all the recent achievements of this minister."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little sad: "Ye Aiqing is kind to me, isn't it because I am the emperor, you assist me, but you hope that I can be a good emperor."
"If the humble minister really wants to see the emperor get embarrassed, he can't teach anything. Why bother? The emperor can't become a wise king, so what is the matter with the humble minister?"
"Then let's take the incident just now. You colluded with Mr. Zhao to share my worries, but you also said that it was just eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries. If I were not the emperor, if you were not a subject, you would still Is it so hard work?"
Ye Xing was a little helpless, Xiao Ruifeng asked: "Look at you, don't you have nothing to say?!"
"Your Majesty, from the point of view of a courtier, the humble minister should support the emperor to establish a heir as soon as possible, so as to extend the royal family's heirs."
Xiao Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Ye Xing. He didn't know if Ye Xing's words were what he thought, he hesitated and couldn't help asking: "Then what angle do you stand to do this? ?”
Xiaofanwai 9 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
The third day of October was the Empress Dowager's birthday. Before the Empress Dowager said that this matter would be left to her, Xiao Ruifeng didn't ask too much.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the second rank and above have all arrived at Hejinchi."
The birthday was held in Heqianchi, and when the queen mother heard that she could not be crowned queen for the time being, she asked Xiao Ruifeng to look for candidates for a concubine first, so Xiao Ruifeng still could not escape the catastrophe.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to go, he didn't want to marry those women at all, even if he saw it, it was useless, what he wanted to marry was... Ye Xing couldn't help but come back to his mind.
That day in the Imperial Garden, Ye Xing didn't answer the question he asked, but only said that even he himself hadn't come up with the answer yet, and hoped to give him some time to figure it out.
Alas, so how much more time will it take?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ruifeng put away those complicated thoughts, and ordered: "Putting the boat out of the pool."
When he arrived at Hejinchi, he found that everyone had already arrived. After they saluted, Xiao Ruifeng couldn't help but looked around, but he didn't see Ye Xing.
Although it is already late autumn, the scenery of Hejin Pond is still beautiful. The banquet has not yet started, and everyone is busy admiring the scenery, especially the daughters or younger sisters brought by officials, most of them are entering the palace for the first time .
"What is the emperor looking for?"
Xiao Ruifeng turned around, only to see Xiao Luofeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing behind him, just as Xiao Luofeng wanted to salute, Xiao Ruifeng grabbed him.
"Good boy, are you still willing to come back?!"
Xiao Luofeng was helpless: "Brother Huang, Sishui Sect is located in Longyu City, which is quite far away from the imperial city. Even if I go back and forth, it will take a lot of time."
"Hmph, don't forget, if it wasn't for my elder brother who got into this mess, it would be your turn to suffer, so if you still have a little conscience, don't always run out and share my worries for me. "
"Brother Huang, my younger brother is in charge of the Jianghu intelligence network. This is also for the sake of the court. Besides, if my younger brother always stays in the palace, how will I know the information?"
"Come on, you don't need to do it yourself. Anyway, you'd better punish yourself with three cups later."
"Okay, okay, at most I'll stay a little longer this time, anyway, Yesheng is also here."
"Stop provoking me, a loner!"
Xiao Luofeng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the two of them walked slowly around the rockery, the maids and eunuchs were far away, so there was no need to be too cautious, let alone call yourself "Zhen".
"If brother Huang feels lonely, he should find someone to accompany him."
"Looking for you?"
"I heard from my mother that today's birthday is not only to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, but also to find a concubine for you. Look at the beauties in that garden. The emperor is really blessed."
"Hehe, if you like such a blessing, I will give it to you."
"The younger brother has already found someone he likes, so it is naturally useless. When the emperor meets the person he likes someday, he will be able to understand the younger brother's mood."
Xiao Ruifeng's good mood just now lost a little in an instant, and he said lightly: "It's useless to meet someone you like, you have to be happy with each other."
"That's right." After Xiao Luofeng finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong, she turned her head to stare at Xiao Ruifeng, and then gossiped: "Hey, Brother Huang, why do you suddenly express such emotions when you are so good?"
"Just say whatever you want."
"Tch, I don't believe it. Let me guess. This kind of feeling should be related to my own experience. Could it be that you already have a sweetheart, brother?"
Xiao Ruifeng didn't deny it, and Xiao Luofeng became even more gossipy, "If you don't refute, you're acquiescing. Quickly reveal to my brother, which girl is so lucky? Couldn't my brother be able to drink the wedding wine of the emperor's brother when he comes back this time? "
"It would be nice if it was that easy."
"Brother Huang, why are you so unhappy?" Xiao Luofeng thought of Xiao Ruifeng's favorite place to go to Qing/lou, and guessed: "Don't tell me that I am a Qing/lou girl?"
"It wouldn't be too difficult to pick up a Qing/Lou woman into the palace."
"That means...worse than this?"
Xiao Ruifeng nodded, and Xiao Luofeng asked doubtfully, "Who could that be? Ah, could it be the imperial concubine of the father?"
"What's going on in your head?"
"Then you don't want to say it directly. I can only guess by myself. Brother Huang, we grew up together and have such a good relationship. Why do you keep it from me when you have a sweetheart?"
Xiao Ruifeng walked to the stone table and sat down, sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it, and you might get angry if I say it."
Xiao Luofeng walked to him and sat down, wondering: "I will be angry? Why am I angry? Do you like me? Uh, although our brotherhood is good, we are brothers, brother Huang, you are like this wrong."
Xiao Ruifeng rolled his eyes at him, "If I like you, why don't I find out until now?"
"It may be that the younger brother has been away from the palace for a long time recently, and you have missed him more and more, and gradually realized that you have feelings for the younger brother that you shouldn't have. Alas, the queen mother is going to die of anger."
"Hurry up and go where you came from."
Xiao Ruifeng didn't want to talk to him at all, Xiao Luofeng smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, but I can't figure out why I would be angry if you have a sweetheart, so tell me."
Xiao Ruifeng hesitated for a while before saying: "What if I say that the person I like is Ye Xing?"
Xiao Luofeng was stunned, blinked several times before he could react, jumped up in surprise and said, "Do you like Ye Xing?"
"Ah."
"Prime Minister Ye?"
"Ok!"
Xiao Luofeng felt a little unbelievable, and patted his ears, wondering if it was an auditory hallucination?But hearing hallucinations once and hearing hallucinations twice in succession?
He sat down again, and Xiao Ruifeng asked, "Will you be angry?"
"Huh? Why should I be angry?"
"Didn't you like Ye Xing very much before?"
"Brother Huang also said that was before, and I had already let go of that relationship. Besides, the person I like now is Ye Sheng, but Brother Huang, why do you like Ye Xing? Ye Xing is hard to chase!"
Xiao Luofeng had encountered many nails on that piece of ice, so he didn't really hope that Xiao Ruifeng would fall into it, and Xiao Ruifeng himself was also very distressed.
"I don't know why I like him."
"I remember you hated him very much before!"
"Yeah, because he once rejected you, so I have always hated that arrogant and blind man, but I don't know where to start, but I found that he seems to be pretty good."
Xiao Luofeng put one hand on his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "What about Prime Minister Ye? Does he know?"
"I don't know if he knows, but since I became the throne, he has really helped me a lot. I don't understand anything. Those old courtiers stared at me and made mistakes. It all depends on him, otherwise It's messed up."
"Since he is willing to help you everywhere, he must not hate you."
"But what if he just fulfilled his duties as a courtier?"
"I'm not sure about this either. Brother Huang, have you ever thought that even if Ye Xing likes you, it is difficult for the two of you to be together?"
Xiao Ruifeng was discouraged, how could he not have thought about it, but emotional matters are really beyond his control, it's not something he can just say he doesn't like.
At this time, Xiao Yangzi came to report that the birthday had begun, so Xiao Ruifeng and Xiao Luofeng went to attend the table, and this topic was temporarily closed.
At the banquet, the Empress Dowager specially reserved a session for those women to show off their talents. Those women tried their best, but Xiao Ruifeng was always lacking in interest, and his eyes always moved involuntarily to the vacant seat at the bottom.
Ye Xing said he was sick and didn't come to the banquet, Xiao Ruifeng felt that Ye Xing must not come because he didn't want to see him!
Seeing such a situation, Xiao Luofeng thought that Brother Huang might have really fallen into it, why not find a chance to test Ye Xing and see how he feels about Brother Huang?
Xiao Ruifeng didn't want to look at those women, so he could only drink with his head down most of the time, and when he was half drunk, he heard the queen mother ask him in a low voice if he liked anything.
"Mother, son, go to get some air and make a decision when you come back later."
Seeing that he was willing to choose, the Queen Mother naturally didn't dare to push too hard. Xiao Ruifeng didn't go far after leaving the banquet. The Royal Garden was nearby, so he walked to the Royal Garden without knowing it.
I remembered that when I was visiting the Royal Garden with Ye Xing that day, I shouldn't have promised him to let him think clearly, I should have asked for an answer immediately, and I didn't have to worry about it like I am now!
"You are not allowed to follow!"
Xiao Ruifeng ordered, and Xiao Yangzi said: "Your Majesty, it's dark and the road is slippery, and your Majesty has been drinking again, why don't you let the servant follow alone?"
"I told you not to follow, anyone who wants to follow will be killed!"
Xiao Yangzi and the others stopped in a hurry, and Xiao Ruifeng entered the Royal Garden by himself, staggering a little, trying to wake himself up.
I don't know how long I walked in, but suddenly someone grabbed my arm while walking, Xiao Ruifeng was startled, turned around and scolded angrily: "Who dares to follow me, don't you want to live?"
"According to my minister, it is the emperor who doesn't want to live, right? If the emperor takes one step forward, he will enter the lotus pond."
Xiao Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and stared carefully at the person in front of him, but no matter how he looked, there were two shadows, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Strange, why does your voice sound like Ye Xing..."
Ye Xing sighed and said, "How much wine did the emperor drink?"
"It sounds more and more like it."
"The humble minister is Ye Xing."
"You are Ye Xing?" Xiao Ruifeng said with a smile: "Impossible, Ye Xing refuses to see me, he won't come to the palace."
"When did Weichen say...cough cough...don't want to see the emperor?"
Ye Xing coughed a few times while speaking, and his complexion was not very good, but Xiao Ruifeng didn't notice it at all, he just felt a little dizzy all over.
"He knows that I like him, so he deliberately avoids me...pretending to be sick so as not to come to the birthday..."
The more Xiao Ruifeng thought about it, the more wronged he became, and Ye Xing, who heard him say that he liked it, didn't show much surprise, as if he knew it a long time ago.
"The emperor drank too much, I will help you go back and rest."
"Don't go back!"
Xiao Ruifeng yelled loudly, but after the yelling, he wanted to cry again, and murmured: "Why is it so painful to like someone? Why don't you like me? Why..."
After speaking, he threw himself into Ye Xing's arms and hugged him, as if he was really crying, but he didn't seem to, Ye Xing raised his hand to follow his back, and asked: "Whether you like it or rely on it, can the emperor tell the difference?"
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Ruifeng looked up at Ye Xing, but he didn't quite understand. Ye Xing explained: "For example, does the emperor hope that the minister can share the emperor's worries in political affairs, or does he hope that the minister will accompany the emperor to take care of you?"
"I'm slowly learning about politics, and I will learn it one day. Of course, I hope you can stay with me and take care of me, or let me take care of you."
"For example, now, does the emperor hope that the minister will bring the emperor back to the banquet, or do he hope that the minister... kisses you?"
"I..." Xiao Ruifeng felt his heart beating a little faster, and stammered, "I hope you kiss me."
"Then Wei Chen understands."
"But you don't like me."
"My minister has never said that he doesn't like the emperor."
"Then you want to kiss me?"
Xiao Ruifeng felt a little shy after asking, but who knew Ye Xing replied naturally: "No kiss..."
"Why?" Xiao Ruifeng was a little surprised. Hearing Ye Xing's question just now, he thought that Ye Xing also liked him, or was it that the person in front of him was not Ye Xing at all?
But the voice is very similar, the feeling is also very similar, even the appearance that can be seen a little clearly now is exactly the same!
"There are tears and snot all over the face, and there is such a strong smell of alcohol, I am not interested."
As he said he wanted to help Xiao Ruifeng go back, Xiao Ruifeng became unhappy for an instant. He shook off his hand and wiped it with his sleeve directly. How could there be any tears and snot? !
"You lied to me."
"It seems that you are not too drunk. If you don't go back, the queen mother should send someone to look for you."
Seeing that Xiao Ruifeng was still standing there looking at him with a very sad look after finishing speaking, Ye Xing had no choice but to tell the truth: "My minister has a cold, and I'm afraid it will infect the emperor."
Xiao Ruifeng's eyes lit up instantly, "Just because of this?"
"Yes..." As soon as Ye Xing said the words, Xiao Ruifeng rushed forward and bit his lower lip. Ye Xing frowned in pain, but he just reached out to support his waist, and did not push him away. .
Extra Story 10 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
"What are you doing!"
The sudden roar startled the two who were entwining/kissing each other. Ye Xing stepped back a little and looked forward, only to see the queen mother standing there with a few official women.
"Mother, why are you here?"
After being so frightened, Xiao Ruifeng's wine became much more sober, and he looked at the queen mother and her party with some doubts. The anger on the queen mother's face was simply indescribable, and a group of women behind her also had different expressions.
Ye Xing guessed that the Queen Mother must have seen Xiao Ruifeng not go back for so long, so she simply brought a group of women to look for him, and let him choose by the way.
"My minister sees the Queen Mother."
"Ye Xing, you are so brave, you dared to do these things while the emperor was drunk, what crime should you say!"
"The humble minister deserves death."
"Thousands of deaths...one death is enough, come and take Ye Xing into the prison!"
Those guards wanted to step forward, but Xiao Ruifeng stood in front and shouted: "Who dares!"
"Emperor, do you still want to protect him?"
"Mother, what happened just now has nothing to do with him. I forced him. Ye Aiqing was just off guard for a while. If it comes to responsibility, it should be my responsibility."
"You... do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know very well that if my mother has to put someone in the prison, then come for me!"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that the scene was a bit embarrassing, if it continued like this it would only get worse, Ye Xing said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is drunk, all the responsibility lies with the minister, please punish the Empress Dowager."
"That's right, the emperor was drunk, and the prime minister, Ye Xing, as a courtier, committed a crime against his superiors. He was sent to the dungeon to wait for execution."
"I won't allow it, do you think I'm dead?!"
Xiao Ruifeng wanted to go forward, but was held back by Ye Xing. He turned his head and saw Ye Xing shook his head at him, then got up and followed the guards.
"Ye Xing!"
Xiao Yangzi said beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ye must have his reasons for doing this. There are too many people present, the Emperor should bear with it first, and then release Prime Minister Ye."
Xiao Ruifeng clenched his fists resentfully, flung his sleeves and went back to the imperial study room. He ignored the ministers who came over on the way and saluted. After entering the imperial study room, he swept the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground.
"The emperor calm down, take care of the dragon body."
"Your Majesty... What's so good about being an emperor? The Queen Mother has more power than me, and those ministers have more power than me. I'm just a puppet, a puppet without real power!"
Xiao Yangzi and the eunuchs were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Xiao Ruifeng went to the desk and picked up the memorials, and said with a wry smile: "One by one, I wrote this and that. If I refuse once, I will play the second time. If I reject it twice, I will play the third." Three times, what's the point of my refusal? In the end, it's not about compromising!"
After speaking, he also threw those memorials on the ground. Ye Xing picked them up before, but now no one dared to pick them up. Xiao Yangzi saw the Queen Mother coming at the gate of the Imperial Garden just now. He originally wanted to report, but the Queen Mother didn't allow it.
He didn't know that Prime Minister Ye was there, he thought the emperor was alone, so he came in with the queen mother, he didn't expect to see such a scene.
So the emperor and Prime Minister Ye... Recalling some recent events, there are actually traces to follow, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
After Xiao Ruifeng lost his temper, he didn't go back to the dormitory. He just sat at the desk and looked at the writing brush. His chances of saving him from the Queen Mother were too slim.
"Brother..."
Xiao Luofeng came to the imperial study room, saw Xiao Yangzi and the others were all kneeling on the ground, he winked and told them to leave first, and then walked to the desk avoiding the mess on the floor.
"Brother, what happened just now?"
"You should have heard of it. So many people saw it just now."
"Are you and Ye Xing really together?"
"I didn't have time to ask for proof. I just kissed him, and then I was caught by the queen mother. I didn't have time to ask him if he would accept me."
After thinking about it, Xiao Luofeng asked: "Then did he refuse when you kissed him?"
Xiao Ruifeng shook his head, Xiao Luofeng smiled and said: "That's right, who is Ye Xing, that's a big ice cube, he seems to be gentle with people, but in fact he is very distant. If he doesn't like you, he will soon He walked far away, why would he stand and forgive you, I chased him for so long and never even touched him!"
Xiao Ruifeng sighed: "So what, it's me who caused the trouble now."
"Brother Huang, as I said just now, the identity of you and him is destined to be a very difficult road. The reason why the queen mother can turn a blind eye to me is because you are in front, but If you follow this path now, the queen mother will definitely object."
"If she wants to object, she can object. I won't give up anyway. At worst, I won't be the emperor anymore."
"You can't talk nonsense, you must be the emperor, even if it's for you and Ye Xing."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
"Who has the most power in the world, of course, is the emperor. If you and Ye Xing want to be together safely, you must sit in this seat. You are obstructing now because the power is not concentrated enough. If you quit, you will lose any power in your hands, and you will have no power to fight back, and no one will be able to stop you."
Xiao Ruifeng thought about it carefully, and felt that what Xiao Luofeng said made sense, "But if I want my mother to let go, and those courtiers to obey, it's still a long way off."
"You still have me. The forces in my hands will always be used by you. Behind me is the Sishui Sect. We also got to know Xiao Yuyu and the others. It means that the whole world has friends."
"Jianghu..."
"Anyway, don't worry too much. Although the queen mother put Ye Xing into the sky prison, the Ye family has been a prime minister for generations, and the queen mother will not torture him directly, so he is safe for the time being."
"Using torture... no, I'm going to the prison to rescue him."
"Brother Huang!" Xiao Luofeng grabbed Xiao Ruifeng and persuaded him: "It is impossible for you to release people in the past now. The queen mother must have sent many people to guard there, and what happened tonight will be watched by all the officials and women." It’s here, and all the ministers must know by now, and I don’t know how it will be played tomorrow.”
"Then what should we do? You can't just sit around and do nothing, can you?"
"But if you go, it will only make the queen mother more afraid of Ye Xing. How about this, you wait here first, and I will go to the prison to see the situation."
Xiao Ruifeng was a little helpless, and now he had no other choice but to pin his hopes on Xiao Luofeng.
Compared to Xiao Ruifeng who was running around in a hurry, Ye Xing in the sky prison was much calmer, everything in the surrounding mess seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he was at ease.
"Prime Minister Ye is very calm."
Xiao Luofeng walked outside the cell and looked at Ye Xing who was sitting inside, then asked someone to open the lock, he walked in, and Ye Sheng stood guard at the door.
Ye Xing looked up at him, "No matter how anxious you are, it's useless, so why make things difficult for yourself."
"If only Brother Huang could think like you do."
Xiao Luofeng said, squatting down, facing Ye Xing face to face, and asked: "What do you think about Brother Huang?"
"As a courtier, you shouldn't have thoughts."
"You... I thought you only liked women—"
"Emotions are the most unreasonable."
"That's right, although I'm very pleased that you also like my brother, but the road for the two of you is really difficult, let's not talk about those ministers, just the mother's hurdle is very sad."
"I had expected this day a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"That's why you haven't explained your feelings to Brother Huang clearly?"
Xiao Ruifeng's entanglement and pain were all due to Ye Xing's unprepared answer. Now that I think about it, is it because of this reason?
Ye Xing shook his head, "No..."
"What's that for?"
"I haven't responded for a long time because I want to know whether the emperor's dependence on me is the dependence of the emperor on his ministers, or other feelings. The emperor has opposed me everywhere before, and the reason why he changed his attitude is because I gave him some advice after he ascended the throne. help."
"Then why did you openly stand on my brother's side? Your Wenye family has always been neutral."
Ye Xing thought for a while and replied: "I probably want to see what kind of situation he will be like when he becomes an emperor with such a personality."
"You really...do whatever you want."
Xiao Luofeng was a little speechless, because of this idea, he changed from being neutral to supporting. Fortunately, the object of his curiosity was Xiao Ruifeng. If it was the eldest prince back then, they would be miserable.
"Did the Nine Kings come to chat with Wei Chen?"
"Well, Brother Huang asked me to visit you. Originally, he wanted to come by himself, but I think his coming now will only make things worse. I was worried at first, but when I saw You later found out that you were too calm, Prime Minister Ye, have you prepared for it long ago?"
"What kind of preparations is His Highness the Ninth Prince referring to?"
"You have long expected that the queen mother will object, and the ministers will also object, so it is impossible for you to be unprepared. This is not like your character. You should speak out quickly, lest the emperor worry to death."
"It's normal for them to object, but it's not impossible to solve it."
"How to deal with it?"
"The emperor wants to do anything, who dares to object?"
"But Brother Huang doesn't have much real power in his hands..."
"So, just take back the power."
"I don't quite understand. If the power is so easy to get back, there is no need to worry so much."
"Most of the current military power is in the hands of the Ministry of War and the two generals Cao and Meng. General Meng has been stationed at the border all year round, so he is far away, but General Cao is in the imperial city."
"You mean to win over General Cao?"
"General Cao was only loyal to the late emperor. He was single-handedly picked up by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor is gone, his allegiance is naturally to the emperor."
"But he never made it clear."
"That's because he is observing the situation and waiting to see the emperor's attitude towards him. To put it bluntly, if he is not loyal to the emperor, it is useless to hold those military powers. Could it be that he rebelled?
With the example of Xiao Weijian first, he dare not do these actions for the time being. Only when he is reused by the emperor can he reach a higher level. "
"So as long as the trust given by the emperor is enough, General Cao is equivalent to the bargaining chip on the emperor's side? If the emperor has more troops in his hands, then the old courtier will not dare to be too arrogant."
Ye Xing didn't respond, but he didn't refute Xiao Luofeng's words. Xiao Luofeng knew that his analysis should be correct, but he thought of another trouble.
"Where is the queen mother?"
Episode 11 Xiao Ruifeng x Ye Xing ([-])
"No matter how angry the Empress Dowager is, it's only temporary."
Ye Xing seemed to have a plan in mind, Xiao Luofeng couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but said: "But I think the mother's test should be the most difficult, how can the mother tolerate the emperor's brother liking a man?"
"She will say yes."
"Why?"
"Because she has some guilt towards the emperor."
Xiao Luofeng thought about it carefully, and guessed: "Are you referring to the matter that the queen mother forced the emperor brother to compete for the throne?"
"The emperor never thought of taking this position. I think the queen mother must use the rise and fall of the entire Murong family to convince the emperor to fight for this."
"That's why the queen mother feels guilty towards the emperor's brother. As long as the emperor's brother is willing to give in and act with affection and reason, the queen mother's attitude will not be too tough."
Xiao Luofeng didn't think of this before, thinking about it, it seems that the two aspects that he has been worried about are not so difficult to solve, and he can't help admiring Ye Xing.
"You are a quiet person. You have a lot of things to think about. You have thought of all aspects. But since you know that these are not obstacles, why are you still unwilling to accept Brother Huang?"
"What I'm worried about has never been about these things." Ye Xing looked at the ground indifferently, "It's about wondering whether he can stand up to those gossips in the years to come if we are really together."
After all, the identities of the two of them are too conspicuous. Even if Xiao Ruifeng can use his power to suppress the opposition from all parties, he can't control the mouths of the people all over the world.
"how about you?"
"I don't care what's going on around me."
"That's right, since that's the case, I'll discuss it with Brother Huang first, so that he won't be so worried."
"Um……"
After Xiao Luofeng left the sky prison, he returned to the imperial study room. Xiao Ruifeng was waiting there. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is he? Did the mother torture him? Was the environment in the prison very bad that day?"
"Brother Huang, you ask so many questions at once, which one is better for my younger brother to answer first?"
"Then slow down
