The baby-making system is unreliable

Neither Ye Qianyao nor Yun Xirou had ever seen Princess Liangshun. Ye Qianyao might not have heard of her deeds, but Yun Xirou certainly had.

"Princess Liangshun?! What does it have to do with me?! I don't remember ever meeting any Princess Liangshun, uh... I shouldn't have had any entanglement with her, right!?"

Ye Qianyao said as he stepped back slightly, dodging the knife that was aimed at his head. He tried his best to calm himself down, and asked seriously, "Why are you holding on to me?!"

She looked like she had been harboring resentment for a long time, as if the two of them had some deep hatred, which was really puzzling.

Ye Qianyao thought about it and only knew that the princess had married far away in Southern Wei and had not returned to Yue Su for more than four years. He really knew nothing else.

Shangguan Liang's face was filled with anger, his eyes were wide open, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets.

Her voice was several degrees higher than usual, like a loud thunderclap, making the eardrums of the people around her buzz.

"Your elder brother has wronged me! We can't just let this go! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and he's not even here right now. Humph! You should explain it to me... If I don't come to you, who else can I go to for an explanation?!"

Big Brother Ye betrayed her? Where did this come from? Ye Qianyao, his own brother, had never heard of it, so how could he have betrayed her? ! This made Ye Qianyao confused and it was really hard to know where to start.

"You don't know about that?! Well... you may not know about that. After all, the royal family also has to save face!!" Yun Xirou muttered softly, with surprise on her face, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

“You don’t know?!” Shangguan Liang flashed a bitter smile on his face. He paused, clenched his fist, and then slowly loosened his palm. He smiled as if he suddenly realized something: “Yes… Of course you don’t know, because the news was intercepted by my father!!”

Father naturally couldn’t let the news of such a shameful thing leak out. Ye Qianyao was far away in Haicheng during that time. If his brother had intentionally concealed it… No, maybe Ye Shaomu simply thought that she was not important, she was simply an insignificant person!!!

"But... why didn't you know?! He... he actually didn't even tell you, his own brother?! Ha!! This is fucking bullshit!" Shangguan Liang pulled open the curtain in the carriage, biting her lips tightly, tears of grievance sliding down her cheeks. For a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotions.

"Is it possible that this princess... this princess is so unimportant that I am not as important as a yellow-haired girl from the countryside? I... I am a princess of a country?!" Shangguan Liang's eyes revealed unwillingness. She had lost her face as a member of the royal family, but she still couldn't enter his heart.

She is a princess! ! She is a princess, the daughter raised in the palm of the emperor's hand, the only daughter? ! How dare Ye Shaomu? !

At the beginning, the Ye family was full of money, which naturally attracted the covetousness of the royal family. However, there was really no excuse, almost no reason, and even less reason to punish them.

Therefore, the Yue Su royal family naturally had the simplest and most direct idea, which was to form an alliance with the Ye family. Then the headache was the choice of the marriage partner. The Ye family had two young men, but the royal family... was thin in females.

Emperor Tianyuan only had one princess, and that was the Princess Liangshun in front of him. The eldest son of the Ye family was indeed about the same age as Princess Liangshun, but he was tricked and became disabled. The emperor naturally didn't want his daughter to be wronged.

But the current emperor's brothers and sisters are all dead, so he has no choice but to abandon his daughter and let his daughter win the heart of the young master of the Ye family.

Four years ago, Princess Liangshun heard that Ye Shaomu had finally gone on a long journey, so whether she was willing or not, she eventually followed him.

In the Shenmiao Village near Lucheng, Shangguan Liang met the legendary Ye Shaomu, but was shocked by his elegant appearance.

Ye Shaomu was wearing a thin purple dress, sitting in a wheelchair, and living in a thatched hut that was not luxurious and even a little shabby.

There were many people near the thatched hut, and it seemed that everyone in the Temple Village knew him, and people coming and going would greet him with a smile.

Not only that, people in Shenmiao Village would often send him food, such as eggs, cherries and other agricultural products grown in the village.

When Shangguan Liang first met him, she didn't know why Ye Shaomu went out? She also didn't know what he was thinking. What puzzled her most was, since he was already unable to walk, why did he still go out? !

But after a few days of observation, Shangguan Liang gradually figured it out. He seemed to not regard himself as a person with limited mobility at all.

Although he had difficulty moving, Shangguan Liang did not see any decadence, any complaints, or any unwillingness in his eyes.

Do such people really exist? ! They have no reluctance to their fate, face it calmly, and accept everything they encounter? !

They stayed together for half a month, neither too close nor too far away. Shangguan Liang was still a girl at that time, and she had beautiful fantasies about love. Gradually, she fell in love with Ye Shaomu.

Finally, Shangguan Liang found a place he really liked to go to, which was the hilltop east of the dilapidated temple in Shenmiao Village. He would always stay there for two or three hours, as if he was waiting for someone, and only when the sun went down and it got a little cold would he tighten his cloak and go back cursing.

"This princess doesn't know what I like about him, a man with injured legs and feet. What's so good about him!?" Shangguan Liang seemed to be lost in past memories, as if he was thinking about this question seriously, with an intoxicated look on his face.

After thinking for a long time, Shangguan Liang seemed to have an answer. He paused and said, "I remember that he was always cursing at that time, but his words always seemed to be full of power."

He seemed to be encouraging himself, and also seemed to be satirizing the injustice in the world, but he was not decadent, powerless or desperate. He even dressed himself up when he went out every day.

Well... cursing and saying that the weather today is bad, it's freezing, and that the sky is unreliable. Or cursing at the air, saying that the food today is not tasty and the variety is not rich enough, but you can't make delicious food yourself.

Not only that, on the top of the temple hill, sometimes when looking at Ye Shaomu's back, Shangguan Liang would feel that he was more talkative than usual, and more... like a living person.

It was as if his sweetheart was on the temple hill, and he could only relax and be happy when worshiping.

On weekdays, although Ye Shaomu seemed to be greeting people, there seemed to be no smile in his eyes. He could not be said to be happy, but only peaceful.

"Later, I appeared in front of him, took out my father's imperial edict, confessed my identity, and raised my head proudly and asked him, 'Are you willing to marry me?'"

Shangguan Liang seemed to remember the humiliation he had suffered in the past, and his chest heaved up and down with anger, as if something was blocked in his heart.

This was the first time, the first time she put aside her pride as a princess and took the initiative to say such words as a girl.

"But...he rejected me in front of everyone present!? He actually, actually rejected me?!"

Thinking of this, Shangguan Liang wanted to stab Ye Qianyao with a knife. The tears on her face had dried up, leaving only faint tear marks, as if she had cried all her tears out.

"It was him!! He stepped on my princess's face first. How can you tell me how to let it go? Tell me!!"

It was because he was rejected by Ye Shaomu that Shangguan Liang returned to Xuzhou in tears. He was seen by those gossips and many people in Xuzhou knew the whole story.

It was precisely for this reason that Shangguan Liang had no choice but to marry the prince of Southern Wei and become a pawn in her father's hands to effect peace between the two countries.

"This princess has become what she is now, all because of him!! All because of Ye Shaomu!! I can only go to marry and watch my husband plot against me behind my back!!"

Shangguan Liang curled his fingers slightly and gripped the car door frame tightly, with a crazy look on his face, as if he had suffered inhuman torture.

She had never thought that one day her husband would plot against her, and the price of the plot would be their son's life. This was really ridiculous.

"Look, my child... my two-year-old son, slowly died in my arms on an evening like this!!"

Shangguan Liang seemed to remember something, and looked up at the sky helplessly, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, showing the sadness and helplessness of a mother.

That day, she sat on the bed holding her child, staying there all night, pretending that her son was just asleep and that his illness would be cured after a good night's sleep.

As evening approached, a cool breeze began to blow on the street. The air was thick with the smell of blood, and the quiet street was tinged with a hint of weirdness.

"He was mumbling in his sleep, calling me... Mother, he said he was in pain!! He was only two years old, and at an age when he could only call father and mother fluently, he learned to cry out in pain!!"

Her child had a high fever and became confused, and died. Later, Shangguan Liang buried the child, but her husband was secretly having an affair with another slave girl.

During their conversation, Shangguan Liangcai unexpectedly found out that the reason for the child's high fever was that the maid was instructed to do it intentionally.

"Tell me... Should this princess hate you? Should she?!" Shangguan Liang raised the index finger of her right hand and pointed it directly at Ye Qianyao, as if venting the pain in her heart.

The flashing of swords and sabers around continued. In this sad and helpless story, it seemed that the pain would always exist and could never be relieved.

“Should you really hate me?!” Ye Qianyao shouted loudly amid the clinking sound of weapons: “Even so, but… you probably only liked him because you met a big brother like that at that time!!”

Ye Qianyao may not know what his brother looked like before, but when he returned to Haicheng five years ago, the elder brother he saw was not the same as in Princess Liangshun's story.

"What kind of person do you think my elder brother is?!" Ye Qianyao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, standing still amid the carnage, but carefully protecting Yun Xirou behind him.

Yun Yurou looked at Ye Qianyao, as if waiting for his words. In this critical moment, she could still murmur: "Is there any hidden secret in this!?"

“Not decadent? Elegant and cheerful? Even in the face of such a situation, he can have no resentment?!” Ye Qianyao straightened his spine, panting heavily due to exhaustion, and paused before saying: “What do you think of him?!”

Shangguan Liang lowered her head and nodded when she heard this, but refused to look directly at Ye Qianyao. It was obvious that she thought so. In her eyes, Ye Shaomu had always been a gentleman who could only whisper to herself to make herself happy.

"You are wrong!! My elder brother has never been like that. He would complain, he would feel uncomfortable, he would be unwilling!" Ye Qianyao looked directly at Princess Liangshun, and spoke every word very bluntly. The person she liked was only the one in her imagination.

"Why do you think he went to the temple village?! To pay respect to an old friend?!" Ye Qianyao sneered, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, as if he saw through Shangguan Liang's true helplessness: "But... you don't think that person is my sister-in-law, do you? "

Ye Qianyao felt a little scared. He didn't dare to say that to his sister-in-law, for fear that he would be scolded by both his brother and sister-in-law, and his ears would be covered with calluses.

"Isn't it!?" Shangguan Liang sneered, buried his face in his palms, and said sarcastically: "If he didn't have a lover, why would he reject this princess?!"

Besides, Shangguan Liang couldn't think of any other reason. She always wanted to save face! ! After being rejected, could she still lose face and chase him relentlessly? !

Ye Qianyao suddenly said, "What does your Highness want that you can't get?! Won't you force my brother to marry you? Giving up just because you were rejected is not in line with your Highness' royal style!!"

"What?!" Shangguan Liang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head, bloodshot eyes: "How else do you want to humiliate me!?"

"I say... don't you think this is outrageous?!" Ye Qianyao suddenly wanted to laugh, and helplessly said: "You came here to plot against my brother, but my brother ignored you, and you hate him to death?!"

It was clearly she who approached him with a purpose, and Brother Ye just rejected her, so why did it seem like he had intentionally hurt her? !

"It's as if my brother deliberately provoked and acted recklessly, and what did he do to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Ye Qianyao listened for a long time. It was obvious that Shangguan Liang took the initiative to monitor her. It seemed that Brother Ye was just paying homage to the old friends and chatting with the villagers.

"You said we were humiliating... Then why don't you think about it, Princess? How could something that happened far away in Lucheng spread to Xuzhou so quickly? Even if we don't know the details, how could something like Princess crying and returning to Beijing be known to all the officials and their families in Xuzhou!?"

If there was no one behind the scenes pushing it, it would not have spread so quickly. And since she was the princess, if she insisted on forcing him, not to mention my brother, even Brother Yun could be forced to divorce his wife and marry someone else.

But why didn't they do it? Because the people who could do it didn't even think about doing it. Why not? Because the Southern Wei was watching from afar, always eyeing them covetously.
