After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 23 It Can Only Be Ye Yanzhi
"It's my fault, Your Highness. You are broad-minded and don't care about it, but I cannot be ungrateful.
I have prepared some gifts. I know you need nothing. This is my way of thanking you for saving my life, and also my apology for my neglect of you. Please accept them, Your Highness.
"Yeah, Jiangbei."
Commander Jiang came in, accepted the gifts one by one and took them away.
There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in the low, cold voice, "You can get up now, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Qingyu stood up and sat aside.
She raised her head and looked straight at him, with deep gratitude flashing in her eyes.
King Shen Yanli of Chu, son of the late queen, was once the dazzling Crown Prince, but he was seriously injured while leading troops to the north to quell a rebellion, and his legs have been disabled ever since.
A prince who cannot stand up naturally cannot continue to be the prince. The emperor's desk was piled with petitions to depose the prince. When the emperor hesitated again and again, Shen Yanli personally went to the court to request to depose himself as the prince. From then on, he became the King of Chu.
Ye Qingyu's mind flashed back to the scene of him standing in front of her in her previous life. Could it be that his legs were not disabled?
She looked at the fairy-like face in front of her. When he was young and full of vigor and elegance, which young lady would not admire His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and who would not want to marry him?
"Why does Miss Ye look at me like that?" A deep and cold voice sounded, interrupting Ye Qingyu's thoughts.
Ye Qingyu finally came back to her senses, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
She had just stared at His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's face in a trance! Shame on her!
"Yes, I am sorry for the disrespect."
Ye Qingyu glanced at Shen Yanli guiltily. The man's handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, but there was no displeasure on his handsome face. "Well, Miss Ye's thank-you gift has been delivered. Please go back."
His voice was light and his expression was calm.
Ye Qingyu bit her pink lips lightly, stood up and bowed, "Your servant will take your leave."
Shen Yanli lowered his eyebrows and looked at the teacup in his hand until Ye Qingyu stood up and turned around. He raised his dark eyes and looked at the figure that was gradually walking away.
"Your Highness, why don't you invite Miss Ye to have lunch? That's a good reason." The old butler who had been standing by said anxiously.
Yesterday, when his prince received Miss Ye's invitation, his usually icy expression actually melted into a smile. He was not mistaken; the old man had a good eye. He had never seen the prince spend so much time choosing clothes for a lady before meeting her.
I met him today, but we didn't say a few words at all, and one of them was to chase him away!
He spoke calmly, his voice cold and low, somewhat ethereal and distant, with a hint of sigh-like hoarseness, "It's not good for her reputation."
The housekeeper said anxiously, "My Lord, if you have feelings for Miss Ye, please ask His Majesty to grant us marriage. He will probably agree."
Shen Yanli sneered, a hint of mockery on his beautiful face. His dark eyes seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss, and they were icy cold to the bone. "Uncle Tang, I am a useless person, how can I marry her?"
Uncle Tang's face was full of distress, "What are you talking about? You will definitely get better!"
Shen Yanli looked straight ahead, his eyes empty and lifeless, his handsome face pale with powerlessness.
Ye Qingyu hurried out of the Prince Chu's Mansion and got on the carriage. Her pretty face was still blushing with shame, and her clear eyes were bright and watery, like stars in the sky.
"Miss, please go slower, don't fall."
"It's okay, go back home."
Ye Qingyu fanned her hot face with her small hands. She had just embarrassed herself in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. She was stunned by looking at that face. It was really too rude!
Two days later, until Chunhui Hall lost patience and sent someone to invite Ye Qingyu, Ye Qingyu slowly followed them to Chunhui Hall.
Madam Ye suppressed her anxiety and wore a loving smile on her face, "Qingyu is here, come to Grandma quickly."
Ye Qingyu walked in lightly and saw Lord Ye sitting below the old lady.
"I hope grandma is well." Ye Qingyu bowed and greeted her, sitting below the old lady.
Old Madam Ye asked anxiously, "Qingyu, how have you discussed with your grandfather these days? Has the adoption been finalized?"
Ye Qingyu glanced at the old lady's anxious gaze and said leisurely, "Qingyu has already spoken to my grandfather, and he agrees to adopt an older brother."
The old man felt relieved instantly, and looked at Ye Qingyu with a more pleasing look, "That's good, that's good. Your grandfather loves you as much as your grandmother does, so he will naturally grant your request."
Lord Ye said proudly, "The Duke has a good eye for things in agreeing to adopt Shuwen as your stepbrother."
Ye Qingyu quickly shook her head, "It's not Ye Shuwen. My grandfather said that he would only agree if my eldest cousin was adopted as my eldest brother."
"what!"
Lord Ye's expression changed instantly. "Didn't you tell him that Shuwen was adopted?"
The old lady's peaceful and warm expression vanished, and she questioned, "Didn't I tell you about the adoption letter? Why didn't you tell the Duke that your eldest cousin wouldn't agree to the adoption? How could he be adopted as your eldest brother?"
"Ye Qingyu, have you really persuaded the Duke? This adoption is no joke!"
"Qingyu, didn't I tell you about it? You agreed to it, so why did you change your mind when you arrived at the Duke's Mansion? Shuwen is such a good kid. It's a blessing for you to have him as your brother. He didn't care about your ignorance and agreed to adopt him as your brother. But you, do you know what integrity is? If you promised something, you should do it."
Ye Qingyu looked coldly at the two people who looked like they wanted to eat her, without a single wave of emotion in her heart.
She has long seen through the true faces of these people, so she will not be soft-hearted next time she takes action.
Ye Qingyu showed an aggrieved expression on her face and said weakly, "Grandma, didn't you say that everything should be done according to my wishes? How can there be anything wrong with me choosing my eldest cousin?"
The old lady's expression hardened and became a little distorted.
She had spoken in such a broad way in order to coax Ye Qingyu into agreeing to the adoption, but she didn't expect that she actually took it seriously.
Lord Ye looked at Old Madam Ye with some dissatisfaction.
Madam Ye stiffened her neck and scowled, "I did say so, but didn't you agree to adopt Shuwen as your eldest brother?"
Ye Qingyu felt even more aggrieved and helpless, her clear eyes misted with tears. "Grandmother, I said I wanted to discuss this with my grandfather. This matter is not something I can decide. My grandfather said that Ye Shuwen's behavior is not good, and adopting him under my mother's name would be a disgrace to her reputation. He agreed to the adoption, but the candidate could only be my eldest cousin."
