Chapter 127

Volume 1_Chapter 127: Is my corner something you can dig?

But as soon as everyone's gaze fell on Ye Lanjue, they were so scared that they immediately withdrew their gazes.

At this time, the Regent was like being wrapped in cold ice, the aura on his body was terrifying, and just looking at him gave one the feeling of being frozen.

Clearly, one couldn't see Ye Lanjue's expression, but everyone felt that at this time, Ye Lanjue was like an Asura from hell, terrifying!

At this time, the Asura's voice came.

"Is my corner something you can dig?"

The words were spoken in a very calm tone, the voice didn't have much fluctuation, and even the tone didn't seem very cold.

But, just these words made everyone couldn't help but collectively shiver.

It's over, it's over, the Regent is going to explode.

After Ye Lanjue finished those words, he swept his gaze toward the Sixth Prince of Xihai, Qin Ye, and then looked at the Nanli National Preceptor, Ouyang Xi.

Qin Ye was swept by Ye Lanjue's gaze, his expression stiffened for a moment, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Ouyang Xi, on the other hand, met Ye Lanjue's gaze very calmly, the corners of his lips slightly curled, his face gentle, but his eyes remained cold and clear, "It is said that a fair lady is a gentleman's good match. Since the Regent and Miss Qiyue are not yet married, then we naturally have the opportunity to ask for Miss Qiyue's hand, Regent, do you say yes or no?"

As soon as Ouyang Xi said this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for Ye Lanjue's answer.

And Qin Ye, after realizing that he had actually been intimidated by Ye Lanjue, his expression was a bit ugly, and he couldn't help but look in a certain direction in the envoy group, then immediately adjusted the expression on his face, echoing Ouyang Xi's words, "The Nanli National Preceptor is right, we in Xihai are also sincerely asking for the hand of the Yun Sanyuan."

After saying this, Qin Ye looked at Xuanyuan Kun, "Emperor of Donglin, we in Xihai are sincerely asking for the hand of the Yun Sanyuan, I ask the Emperor of Donglin to grant the marriage."

And although Ouyang Xi didn't say anything, he also looked at Xuanyuan Kun, with the appearance of requesting a marriage grant.

Xuanyuan Kun was simply having a headache at this moment.

How is he supposed to grant this marriage?

Whether he grants the marriage or not, he will offend both sides, what should he do?

Just when he was in a state of distress, Xuanyuan Kun also felt a greeting from Ye Lanjue's eyes.

Xuanyuan Kun: "..." Isn't this matter very simple for Ye Lanjue to solve?

Why look at him?

Is this asking him to solve it?

But, how is he supposed to solve it?

When he had no ideas, Xuanyuan Kun looked at Yu Huanghou on the side.

Yu Huanghou naturally understood what Xuanyuan Kun meant, but she had no way either.

Just as she was about to indicate that she had no way, Yu Huanghou's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Emperor, since the protagonist is Yun Qiyue, why not let Yun Qiyue decide for herself?"

Xuanyuan Kun heard this, and his eyes lit up: "My Empress's idea is still the best."

After saying this, Xuanyuan Kun, as if he had been fully revived, let his gaze fall on Yun Qiyue, the person involved who was waiting to watch the show, and asked with a smile: "Qiyue, what do you think about this matter? If you had to choose, who would you choose?"

As soon as Xuanyuan Kun said this, everyone's gaze fell on Yun Qiyue.

Even Ye Lanjue's cold gaze looked at Yun Qiyue.

If someone else encountered this situation, they would inevitably be panicked, and wouldn't even know how to choose.

However, Yun Qiyue just looked up at Xuanyuan Kun and asked back faintly: "Emperor, what makes you think I would choose someone other than the Imperial Uncle?"

Xuanyuan Kun: "..."

What makes...

This—

In an instant, Xuanyuan Kun understood.

Although those three people, one is from the strongest Xihai, and one is the Nanli National Preceptor, none of them are weak, and they are all excellent enough.

But, who is stronger than the Regent of Donglin? And who is more excellent than the Regent of Donglin?

Such a simple question, he had actually struggled with it for so long; if the ministers were to react, where would he, as the Emperor, put his face?

Xuanyuan Kun's expression was very ugly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Yun Qiyue's choice was very straightforward, and Ye Lanjue was very satisfied.

Ouyang Xi curled the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

However, there was obvious displeasure on Qin Ye's face.

He originally wanted to say something, but his gaze shifted slightly, and he finally gave up and sat down.

But, Qin Ye sat down, and Qin Jiayan stood up.

Qin Jiayan was not convinced.

Very unconvinced.

She had come from thousands of miles away again, just for Ye Lanjue.

After a year of reflection, she felt that she had been too timid and not brave enough, which was why she had missed out.

When she saw Ye Lanjue's uniqueness toward Yun Qiyue, she became even more convinced of this idea.

The Regent of Donglin, although cold, is also gentle.

Or perhaps, he is just cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

Otherwise, how would he stand up for Yun Qiyue time and time again?

It was not easy for her to see all this clearly, but this ugly woman, Yun Qiyue, occupied the position of the Regent's Princess Consort.

The Regent's Princess Consort of Donglin can only be her, not anyone else.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiayan stood up and looked at Yun Qiyue with an unkind expression: "Regent of Donglin, a person as noble and peerless as you should be matched with the best woman in the world; Yun Qiyue is simply not worthy of you."

As soon as Qin Jiayan said this, many people nodded silently, because what Qin Jiayan said was what they were thinking.

Ye Lanjue glanced at Qin Jiayan indifferently, but did not speak.

He wanted to see how Yun Qiyue would react to another woman looking for trouble.

Yun Qiyue had countered Xuanyuan Kun's trouble-making very well, and he believed that this time, Yun Qiyue would not disappoint him either.

Sure enough, just as Ye Lanjue thought this, Yun Qiyue asked Qin Jiayan back, "In your view, what kind of woman is the best in the world?"

Hearing Yun Qiyue ask, Qin Jiayan raised her chin and said: "Naturally, a woman who is both talented and beautiful."

With the appearance that she was such a woman.

Yun Qiyue curled her lips and asked faintly, "In terms of talent, did you beat me?"

Qin Jiayan's expression stiffened.

Thinking that she was actually Yun Qiyue's defeated opponent, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

However, the stiffness lasted only for a moment, and Qin Jiayan quickly adjusted her state, glaring at Yun Qiyue: "Even if you have talent, you don't have beauty; your appearance is simply not worthy of the Regent of Donglin."

Yun Qiyue asked, "Then what kind of appearance do you think is worthy of him?"

Hearing this, Qin Jiayan immediately raised her chin, "At the very least, it should be comparable to me."

Yun Qiyue nodded, "I see, you mean that among the women present, you are the most beautiful, and you are the one who is worthy of the Imperial Uncle."

Qin Jiayan originally had this confidence, so after hearing Yun Qiyue's words, she didn't feel anything was wrong, and nodded.

Then the next moment, she felt several displeased gazes looking at her.

Including Qin Dairou beside her—

This situation made Qin Jiayan instinctively swallow her saliva, feeling incomparably annoyed in her heart.

Damn Yun Qiyue, she actually set a trap for her.

In this way, wouldn't she have offended all the women present who prided themselves on their beauty?

She knew best how terrifying a woman's jealousy could be.

Therefore, after stiffening for a moment, Qin Jiayan immediately said, "Even if I am not the most beautiful, at least one should have my level, right? Look at you, you don't even dare to show your face, how can you be worthy of the Regent of Donglin?"
