Chapter 1067 (Your Majesty!)
“Come back, Mother is looking for you!” Ye Hua said in a deep voice.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a moment,” Ye Juetian sighed. He had to go back now.
Looking at Yi Yi in front of him, Ye Juetian spoke softly, “Yi Yi, I need to leave for a while. You stay here, and I’ll come back tomorrow to check on you, okay?”
“Ye Ye, are you abandoning me again?” Yi Yi’s rare beautiful face instantly dropped, making Ye Juetian feel quite distressed.
It was hard to refuse a beautiful woman who looked so pitiful.
“No, I have something to attend to,” Ye Juetian explained.
“Do you want me to come with you? I can help,” Yi Yi seemed eager to contribute.
“Yi Yi, since you’re with me, should you listen to me?” Ye Juetian asked.
After a moment of silence, Yi Yi nodded.
“If you’re listening to me, then stay here and wait for me obediently, okay?” Ye Juetian thought his logic was sound.
Yi Yi pouted and lowered her head slightly.
Glancing at the sky outside, it wasn’t too late yet.
“Yi Yi, I’ll come to see you this afternoon. Rest here for now,” Ye Juetian suggested.
“Promise me you’ll come, you must come,” Yi Yi looked at Ye Juetian earnestly, displaying a sincerity without a hint of jest.
Ye Juetian could only promise. It was like coaxing a child, but dealing with such a beautiful woman made it quite enjoyable.
“Be good, don’t wander around, and don’t go outside,” Ye Juetian advised, feeling reassured about the safety of Yi Yi in the Empire.
“Okay, I’ll be good.”
Ye Juetian sighed in relief and disappeared from the room.
Inside the room, Yi Yi saw Ye Juetian leaving and instantly felt lost. She rested her chin on her hands, gazing out at the world, anxiously awaiting the afternoon. Ye Ye is a good person.
Back at the imperial palace, Ye Juetian quickly contacted Ye Hua and then went to his mother’s sleeping chamber.
“Where did you run off to again?” Le Jing scolded him, sounding worried.
Standing beside her, Ye Hua also had no choice. He decided he would find an opportunity to refine his younger brother’s character; things couldn’t continue like this.
Three daughters-in-law were obediently serving their mother-in-law, making Le Jing very happy. Having multiple daughters-in-law was indeed a good thing.
Ye Juetian helplessly said, “Mother, I just walked around in the city.”
“Don’t know where you’ve been wandering. Stay by your mother’s side during this time. Ye Hua, handle your younger brother’s matters sooner. He should settle down and get married, what kind of appearance is that?” Le Jing just wanted Ye Juetian to get married too, feeling more at ease with her sons settling down. A married man would become more mature.
Listening to his mother’s words, Ye Juetian’s mind conjured the image of Yi Yi, and he suddenly blanked out. Why did Yi Yi come to mind? He quickly shook his head.
“What does shaking your head mean?” Le Jing instantly got angry. How could he not obey her arrangement?
Ye Hua’s face remained stern. His younger brother was quite disobedient; he needed some training.
“I will follow the arrangement,” Ye Juetian hurriedly explained.
This statement was acceptable, and Le Jing was satisfied.
“Ye Hua, go check if there are any good girls. Basic virtues like virtue and kindness are essential, and consider family background and other factors,” Le Jing said softly. Selecting a daughter-in-law couldn’t be done haphazardly.
The three daughters-in-law standing in the background breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had acted quickly; otherwise, they wouldn’t have met their mother-in-law’s approval.
Ye Hua agreed with his mother. Back then, he had also deceived Qing Ya and Baizhi, letting them conceive his bloodline. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have any significance now.
Okay, he was just kidding. Qing Ya and Baizhi were both outstanding women. Only Yutong was still wandering outside. If his mother found out that she had sneaked out, she would be in trouble.
“Sure, I’ll take care of it,” Ye Hua nodded.
It seemed like they needed to convene another mobilization meeting.
After dealing with his younger son’s affairs, Le Jing began to talk about Ye Hua.
“Ye Hua.”
“Mother, is there anything else?”
Holding Qian Yuqing’s little hand, Le Jing pulled her forward and said, “You two, put in more effort, understand?”
Qian Yuqing’s pretty face instantly turned red, like the evening glow. It felt like she was about to bleed.
How could her mother say such embarrassing things? Besides, what use was there in just her putting in more effort? Without Ye Hua’s cooperation, all her efforts would be in vain.
Ye Hua, looking calm as if nothing happened, said, “Mother, let’s settle Juetian’s matters first before discussing other things.”
Qian Yuqing, who had just been happy, instantly felt disheartened. She actually wanted to have children with Ye Hua. If they had children, Ye Hua would surely treat her better, not this hot-and-cold attitude.
“It’s two different matters. Qing Ya and Baizhi did it, and they both got pregnant in the end. Mother also has things to do,” Ye Hua said calmly.
The three daughters-in-law: “…”
It seemed that having children was to prevent their mother-in-law from getting bored.
But Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didn’t plan to have more children. So Qing Ya obediently said, “Mother, we’ve discussed it with Ye Hua. We won’t have children again in the next few years. This task still needs to be completed by Yuqing. After all, Yuqing and Ye Hua don’t have children yet.”
“Since you’ve all discussed it, Mother will only look at the results. Yuqing, consult with them more on this matter,” Le Jing smiled faintly. Serving one’s husband was also a skill. How could they please their husbands?Listening to his mother’s words, Ye Juetian’s mind conjured up the image of Yi Yi. He suddenly froze, wondering why Yi Yi came to mind. He quickly shook his head.
“What does shaking your head mean?” Le Jing instantly became annoyed. Her son wasn’t following orders.
Ye Hua had a stern expression. His younger brother was quite disobedient; he needed some training.
“I’ll follow the arrangements,” Ye Juetian hastily explained.
This statement was more acceptable, and Le Jing was satisfied.
“Ye Hua, go and see if there are any good girls. Virtuous and well-mannered is the basic requirement. Consider family background and choose wisely,” Le Jing said softly. Selecting a daughter-in-law couldn’t be careless.
The three daughters-in-law standing behind breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they acted quickly; otherwise, they wouldn’t meet their mother-in-law’s standards.
Ye Hua felt his mother was right. Back then, he deceived Qing Ya and Baizhi, letting them bear his bloodline. Otherwise, there might be nothing special about them now.
Okay, it was just a joke. Qing Ya and Baizhi were both outstanding women. Only Yutong was still wandering outside. If the mother knew that you sneaked out, you’d be in trouble.
“Alright, leave it to me,” Ye Hua nodded.
It seemed another meeting was necessary.
After dealing with his younger son’s matters, Le Jing began discussing Ye Hua’s affairs.
“Ye Hua.”
“Mother, is there something else?”
Le Jing held Qian Yuqing’s small hand, pulled her in front, and said, “Both of you, put in more effort, understand?”
Qian Yuqing’s pretty face instantly turned red, like the evening glow, feeling as if she might bleed.
‘Mother actually said such embarrassing words. Moreover, what use is there for me to put in effort alone? Without Ye Hua’s cooperation, no matter how hard I try, it’s in vain.’
Ye Hua, seemingly unconcerned, said calmly, “Mother, let’s deal with Juetian’s matters first before discussing other things.”
Qian Yuqing, who was so happy a moment ago, instantly felt lost. In her heart, she really wanted to have a child with Ye Hua. If they had a child, Ye Hua would probably treat her better than now, without these intermittent cold and warm moments.
“These are two different matters and not conflicting. Qing Ya and Baizhi can also contribute. They both got pregnant in the end. Mother also has something to do.” Le Jing smiled slightly.
The three daughters-in-law: “…”
It seemed that having a child was to keep the mother-in-law from being bored.
But Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didn’t plan to have any more children. So, Qing Ya obediently said, “Mother, we’ve already discussed it with Ye Hua. We won’t have children again in the next few years. This task still needs Qian Yuqing to complete. After all, Qian Yuqing and Ye Hua don’t have children yet.”
“If you’ve all discussed it, then I’ll just look at the results. Qian Yuqing, consult them more on this matter,” Le Jing smiled slightly. Serving one’s husband was also a technical skill. How to win a husband’s favor?
Qian Yuqing became even more shy, thinking about some embarrassing things. How annoying…
Ye Hua seemed not to care at all now. In fact, he was impatient to claim Qian Yuqing’s virginity.
After all, it had been many years since he last tasted blood. Now, after Yuqing, he will have a record of four kills. Will there be a fifth kill?
“Mother, I’ll arrange it now,” Ye Hua said softly.
“Alright.”
“Mother, I’ll also go out.” Ye Juetian also said.
Le Jing hurriedly said, “You come back to me! Before things are settled, you’re not allowed to leave the palace.”
“Really, do you have to be so strict? I won’t run away.”
“I’m afraid you’ll run away.” Le Jing said unkindly. He had run away once before.
The three daughters-in-law chuckled.
Ye Juetian could only helplessly sit on the side. Now he was a bit worried about Yi Yi. She wouldn’t mess around, right? It was still early before the afternoon; he could rest assured for now.
On the other hand, Ye Hua convened an all-staff meeting. After all, it was his younger brother’s lifelong matter; he couldn’t be careless.
This woman must be outstanding; otherwise, how could she enter the Ye family gate?
“Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!!”
