After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Ye Lou didn't respond, so he knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of not teaching my son well."

Xuan Yelan was speechless. "Well, let me hear what mistake you made!"

Ye Lou raised his head upon hearing this, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I have been joking with my son since he was a child that the girl from the Xiao family is his wife, so..."

Xuan Yelan rubbed his brows and said, "So your son took it seriously and harassed the girl again and again, destroying her reputation?"

"I am guilty."

With a "bang" sound, even Lu Yu, who was watching from the side, felt the pain.

"In that case, go to the Xiao family and ask the girl to apologize. Why are you looking for me?"

You don't want him to be the peacemaker, do you?

Upon hearing this, Ye Lou raised his head, revealing his bearded face. His forehead was a little red, and it seemed that he had used real strength.

"Your Majesty, can you ask the Queen to plead with me to let my son return to the academy?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Master Ye, your son was approved by Grand Secretary Xiao."

"The Queen doesn't know about this yet," Lu Yu paused and spread his hands. "The Queen doesn't know about this yet!"

"This..." Ye Lou was in a dilemma. His whole family were warriors, and it was rare for Ye Ze to have some talent for studying.

We tried every possible means to send him to school, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He was sent back after only two years.

"And as far as I know," Lu Yu glanced at Xuan Yelan, "your son was expelled from school because he damaged public property and all his credits were deducted."

At this point, Ye Lou reacted, "Yes, my son got into a fight with someone. If it was a fight, why did only my son get his credits deducted?"

Xuan Yelan rolled his eyes at Lu Yu and said, "I asked the students who were present at the time about the details of what happened, and it was indeed your son who started it first."

"But it was Princess An Ning who instigated it first!"

"Tsk," Xuan Yelan really couldn't deny it. It was really An Ning who spoke first.

"But as far as I know, it was your son who first caused trouble for Miss Xiao, and An Ning was so angry that she started to talk."

“This…” Ye Lou also knew what kind of person his son was. Why would Princess An Ning target him for no reason?

Xuan Yelan saw that Ye Lou had nothing to say, and looked at Lu Yu, "I also heard that the root of their conflict is because your son thinks it is a crime for the queen to open an academy and change the law."

"He also said that Zhen and Lord Lu were bewitched by the Queen, so they played along with her."

"He even said in public that if there was no queen, Miss Xiao would have been his wife!"

With every word Xuan Yelan spoke, Ye Lou's face turned paler.

What's going on? That little bastard didn't even mention the Queen!

Ye Ze indeed did not explain what happened clearly, and Ye Lou only knew that he came back in a hurry and asked him to go to the Xiao family to propose marriage.

However, the law clearly stipulates that girls cannot get married before they are eighteen years old. Miss Xiao is only seventeen, so Ye Lou doesn't dare to go.

When Ye Ze heard that Ye Lou was unwilling to go, he scolded him without thinking.

Ye Lou got angry and beat Ye Ze up, and ordered people to send him back to the academy.

But just as I sent him away, he came back again.

This time, I was expelled from school.

Ye Ze said that he disliked him because Xiao Daxueshi was partial to him.

Ye Lou naturally didn't believe such a ridiculous reason and beat Ye Ze again.

Only now did I realize that he was expelled from school because he had all his credits deducted for fighting and damaging public property.

As for why they fought, Ye Ze didn't say, nor did he ask.

He heard about the conflict between Ye Ze and Miss Xiao from the servant.

In order to allow Ye Ze to go to school, Ye Lou rushed to the palace without stopping.

After listening to Xuan Yelan's explanation of what happened, Ye Lou wanted to go back and slap himself. Why didn't he ask properly?

Ye Lou gritted his teeth and twisted his thighs with his hands hidden in his sleeves, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Ye Lou burst into tears, "My son is young and hot-tempered. I beg Your Majesty to forgive him this time!"

Xuan Yelan sighed, "Ye Qing, this matter is really not something I can interfere with. You can go to the Xiao family and ask, or find An Ning. Only when they agree can your son go back."

"Okay," Ye Lou stood up, "I'll go find them right away."

Looking at Ye Lou's departing back, Xuan Yelan shook his head, "Too straight."

"Not only is he straight, he's also stupid and foolish." Lu Yu commented from the side.

Coincidentally, Liu He handed over a secret letter, and Lu Yu shook his head after reading it.

"General Ye is good at fighting, but he is really not good enough in the imperial capital."

This was actually asking Xuan Yelan when he would let Ye Lou return to the border.

Ye Lou had been guarding the border all year round, and this year it was only after Old Lady Ye asked for mercy that Xuan Yelan let him come back.

It happened that they returned the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so the Ye family members took leave and did not come.

"How long have you been here?" It hasn't even been two days since Ye Lou came back.

Lu Yu shook his head. "I'm not chasing him away. The waters of the imperial capital are too deep. His son is not an easy person to deal with. For the sake of your stability, it's safer for General Ye to stay at the border."

Xuan Yelan knew very well that Prince Yu was eyeing him covetously, and the issues in the academy had not been resolved yet.

Xuan Yelan thought, "Why not take this opportunity to let the Ye family go to the border together?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but knocked Xuan Yelan's head, "Are you stupid? Old Madam Ye is too old. The border is so far away, can the old lady bear the long journey?"

"What's more, the whole family has left. If we ambush them along the way, won't we catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Oh, yes," Xuan Yelan rubbed the place where he was hurt by Lu Yu just now.

"So, General Ye can't be in the imperial capital, but his family members have to be there."

"No, they don't have to be all here," Lu Yu paused, "Isn't Ye Ze young and full of vigor? Isn't he eager for Miss Xiao to marry him?"

Xuan Yelan understood, "You want him to go to the border as well?"

Lu Yu nodded, "It's better than being in the emperor's city."

The two of them looked at what the secret guard had just handed over and sighed in unison.

With a "clang", the door of the imperial study opened from the outside.

Ye Lou stood at the door against the light, the expression on his face was more solemn than ever before.

Xuan Yelan hid the secret letter behind him and asked, "Why is Ye Qing back?"

Ye Lou said nothing and closed the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu, I heard everything you said just now."

Xuan Yelan and Lu Yu looked at each other and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Ye Lou was also very direct, "I want to ask why you let me take my son to the border."

"I have five sons, four of whom are rough and uncouth, and only this youngest has a talent for reading."

"I don't want my whole family to be filled with ignorant and reckless men, so...I have placed high hopes on this young son since he was young, hoping that he can pass the imperial examination and return with honors."

Xuan Yelan sighed and handed over the secret letter in his hand.

Ye Lou took it tremblingly and read the letter with a serious expression.

Xuan Yelan knew that Ye Lou could read, and every news from the border was written by Ye Lou himself.
