Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 479 The throne is hard to come by

Concubine Cheng smiled slightly, her gaze seemed to be looking at a child, she stood up and took Yehuan's hand, pushed him to sit on the edge of the soft couch, then took a piece of crispy fish cake and handed it to him: "This is made by my concubine herself. Yes, you probably haven’t had it for many years, try it.”

Ye Huan was taken aback, looking at the long-lost crispy fish cake, he did not move: "It turns out that my concubine still remembers that Huan'er likes to eat crispy fish cake." Since his family died, he has never eaten the crispy fish cake made by his mother fish cakes.

There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone and voice, but Concubine Cheng didn't mind at all, her smile didn't fade, her gaze didn't change, and her raised hand didn't waver at all.

Yehuan lifted his eyes from the crispy fish cake and looked into the eyes of Concubine Cheng. Her eyes were full of love for her son, and there was a trace of guilt hidden deep in it, which disappeared in a flash.

Ye Huan felt a pain in his heart, faded those sarcastic smiles, took it silently, took a bite in his mouth, and then said slowly: "It's been a long time since I ate, Huan'er doesn't seem to remember what it tastes like."

When Concubine Cheng heard this, the expression on her face froze, and the trace of guilt magnified and spread invisibly, gradually occupying her heart.

Ye Huan smiled faintly, put the crispy fish cake that had just been bitten into a plate, then stood up and supported Princess Cheng's arm, and said, "Concubine Mother, let me go for a walk with you."

A self-proclaimed statement completely wiped out Cheng Fei's hopeful thoughts, as if she saw a cracked family wall gradually shaking and was about to collapse, but she was powerless because she pushed it with her own hands.

"Okay." Concubine Cheng replied with a smile, and patted Ye Huan's hand.Since the relationship between mother and child cannot return to the past, let's be a good ruler and minister.

The two walked on the shining cross road, the sun was just right, and the breeze was warm.

"Huan'er, today you came to see Ai's family for the purpose of making a successor." Dowager Cheng asked softly, her tone as usual.

Ye Huan frowned slightly, and said, "Concubine Mother, I have just ascended the throne, and the throne has not yet been stabilized, so I don't want to propose this matter for the time being."

Concubine Cheng shook her head slowly, and persuaded with earnestness: "You also know that your throne is not stable, and it is precisely because of this instability that you want to be a concubine."

Ye Huan didn't speak, but his brows became more serious.Of course he understood what the concubine mother said, but...

"Among the four girls in the capital, except for Chu Qinghan, you can choose whichever you like." Concubine Cheng said again, not in a tone of discussion with Yehuan, but with a sense of order.

"I won't choose, mother and concubine don't have to worry about it." Ye Huan also firmly refused, leaving no room for discussion.

Concubine Cheng stopped suddenly, turned her head to look at Ye Huan, her eyes were a little puzzled: "Huan'er, it's not easy for you to come to this day, how can you be willful in this matter?" Ye Huan was not moved , Concubine Cheng's tone changed slightly, and she brushed his hand away, "Concubine Mother knows your thoughts, I advise you to give up that heart as soon as possible!"

"Why? How is your son inferior to him?" Ye Huan was also a little anxious.Knowing son is better than mother, she really knows him.

"It's not that the concubine mother has the ambition of others, and if it wasn't for Yejing's willingness to let go, do you really think that your ascension to the throne will be so easy?" Concubine Cheng stared into Yehuan's eyes, her tone was flat but realistic, "Because he I didn't argue with you because of that woman."

Ye Huan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Cheng sighed, and said helplessly: "Although Xiaoyaohou has reached a cooperation with you and wants to help you, he can only help in secret. Ye Jing, at that time, had already controlled most of Yutian's power. Even the hidden building has been secretly taken over by him."

Ye Huan frowned tightly, and his face turned blue: "I know this. Shi Bufan and her mother are very close. Although they have been hidden from outsiders these years, they have never stopped paying attention to Ye Jing."

"And the former emperor gave the jade seal to Ye Jing long ago. Although the military talisman is important, the jade seal is the necessary condition for a monarch." Concubine Cheng followed Ye Huan's words, and met his eyes, "Only let Xiaoyaohou take it away. Without Su Yan, Ye Jing will weigh the gains and losses at that time."

Ye Huan was taken aback, as if he didn't understand what she said.

"That kid Shenjie told me your plan, and I told him to let Xiaoyaohou and Su Yan go." Concubine Cheng's eyes became slightly helpless, she avoided the angle of being seen by Ye Huan, and stepped forward Walking, "Don't blame Shenjie, I forced him to speak out. At that time, the situation was urgent and there was only one way."

Ye Huan looked at Concubine Cheng's gorgeous back, and suddenly smiled mockingly: "Is the Tianqiong Gate sent by my concubine? Is that why concubine mother wants her life?"

"You're wrong. It's not for me, but for you." Concubine Cheng stopped, turned and looked directly into Ye Huan's eyes, and said with deep meaning, "Before Ye Jing completely stops rebelling, we must control her to hand, or let her disappear completely."

"Fourth brother won't betray me." Ye Huan said, although he said so, his tone was not confident.

Concubine Cheng smiled disapprovingly, and said: "The Ai family heard that she disappeared on the way back to Beijing, and now Ye Jing has rushed to that inn in person."

Ye Huan nodded.

Concubine Cheng's face remained unchanged, she stared into Ye Huan's eyes, as if she wanted to see through the son's mind, she changed the topic: "Empress, it will not only stabilize the court, but also reassure Ye Jing."

This time, Ye Huan didn't directly refuse, but avoided Concubine Cheng's sight, and looked at the unstained sky in the distance.

Concubine Cheng didn't say any more, she knew that he had listened to her, so she turned and walked towards a gazebo.

"Huan'er is resigning." Ye Huan stopped, bowed his hands to Concubine Cheng, and then walked away without looking back.

Concubine Cheng also didn't turn her head to look at him. At this time, they were walking in opposite directions, going further and further away...

Ye Huan, who had left the Chenxiang Palace, was heading towards the Yizheng Hall all the way, and happened to be on the way, and met Xu Shenjie who had hurried into the palace.

"Come in with me." Ye Huan glanced at Xu Shenjie indifferently, and then went straight into the Palace of Political Affairs.

Xu Shenjie frowned slightly, seeing Yehuan's face in his eyes, his heart was a little bitter, and his steps were a little heavy.The young emperor in front of him is no longer the one he met when he was young.In him, he saw the majesty of the emperor, and also a kind of loneliness destined to be alone.

Ye Huan sat on the dragon chair with a flick of his sleeves, dismissed all the servants in the hall with a wave of his hand, stared straight at Xu Shenjie who walked in, and said calmly: "Brother Xu, sit down."

Xu Shenjie was shocked, but smiled as usual, and sat down on the chair next to him unceremoniously: "You can call me Brother Xu, but I dare not call you Brother Huan anymore."

Yehuan curled his lips into a smile, glanced at the paper on the royal case, and said, "Who do you think is the most suitable queen?"

Xu Shenjie was surprised again, but this time the smile remained at the corner of his lips, and he blinked: "I heard that right, are you serious?"
