Chapter 448 The Disliked Empress 13
Chapter 448 The Disliked Empress 13
One afternoon a few days later, Yuyan had just eaten grilled fish and was enjoying the cool air in the back mountain. She was holding Xiaobai in her arms, stroking his fur and reading a storybook to pass the time.
Suddenly, a ruffian voice came from the top of the mountain above her head.
"Hi, Sister Yu, long time no see, did you miss me?"
Yuyan raised her head from the book and looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a handsome man in red clothes with a smirk on his face, waving at her enthusiastically.
Before Yuyan could say anything, Yiyun and Xueyue, who were also reading books nearby, suddenly shouted angrily.
"You rascal, stop being so presumptuous."
The man above her head raised his eyebrows, his smile did not change at all, he just looked at Yuyan with a ruddy face and spoke teasingly.
"You are different after becoming a queen. Your temperament has become more elegant. But I still like your original look, in a red dress, flying freely, yet lazy and charming. It makes people fall for you."
After saying that, he flew down from the top of the mountain and landed in front of Yuyan.
Yiyun and Xueyue were afraid that the man would do something bad to Yuyan, so they stood in front of Yuyan. The moment they raised their arms, they aimed the delicate crossbows on their arms at the man.
Even the little white cat in Yuyan's arms stood up and roared fiercely at the man, making an attacking gesture.
Yuyan waved her hand casually and asked Yiyun and the other man who were blocking her to step back.
He pressed Xiaobai into his arms again and continued to stroke its fur.
"Meow~~" Xiaobai seemed to understand Yuyan's meaning. He meowed and continued to lie back in her arms.
Yuyan's gaze fell back on the storybook and she asked the man indifferently while turning the pages.
"Your Majesty the King of Jin suddenly visited the Kingdom of Wen. What are you doing here?"
The man in front of him is the current King of Jin, Ye Jingxi.
The Jin and Wen countries had been fighting fiercely for many years. The Wen country wanted to unify the world, and the Jin country wanted to annex the Wen country to strengthen itself. Therefore, the two countries had experienced many years of war.
Four years ago, the border of Wen State was in crisis. The eldest brother of the Yu family was injured and unconscious. The second brother struggled to defend the city and fight against foreign enemies. The third brother was besieged in the mountains. Their father was captured by the Jin State because of a spy in the army.
At that time, the original owner secretly went to visit his father and brother. After learning about this, he sneaked into the Kingdom of Jin alone and successfully rescued Yu's father.
Although the original owner was only thirteen years old at the time, she was already proficient in swords, spears, swords and crossbows, and was brave and resourceful. She was the most proud and beloved daughter and younger sister of Father Yu and her brothers.
It was also at that time that she met Ye Jingxi, but at that time he was just an unpopular eldest prince. Unexpectedly, he has now ascended the throne.
However, the prosperous Yu family in the early years no longer exists.
When Wen State was almost annexed by Jin State, fortunately the Yu Family turned the tide. In the end, even at the cost of all the male members of the Yu Family dying on the battlefield, Wen State was able to share the world with Jin State, and the two countries have been living in peace for so many years.
Ye Jingxi did not answer Yuyan's words. Instead, he moved closer to Yuyan, and even squatted beside her chair to look at the book she was reading, and asked curiously.
"What strange book are you reading? Why are you so engrossed in it?"
While the question was being asked, he had already leaned over to the book and started reading ten lines at a glance, his brows furrowed more and more, and he spoke with a hint of disdain.
"What a crappy book this is. The relationship progresses too slowly. You've only read half of it. How come the hero and heroine haven't even held hands? Can this still be called a love story? I have a book here that is a hundred times better than this one. The hero and heroine progress very quickly. Do you want to read it?" After saying that, he looked at Yu Yan expectantly.
Yuyan was not affected by him at all. She turned another page calmly and asked him back with a normal expression.
"A pornographic picture?"
Ye Jingxi chuckled, squinted his eyes and looked at Yuyan's profile with a look of relief.
"The one who knows me best is my younger sister Yu. Hey... don't turn the pages too fast. I haven't finished reading this page yet."
As he said this, he sat down on the ground, leaning against Yuyan's recliner, and insisted on reading Yuyan's book.
Yuyan didn't care and just read the book in her hand slowly.
After two quarters of an hour, I finally finished reading the storybook.
Yuyan closed the book, put it aside, and prepared to take a nap, while still reminding people to leave.
"You've finished reading the book, why don't you leave?"
Ye Jingxi was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Yu Yan's beautiful face. After looking at her quietly for a moment, he seemed to have suddenly made some kind of decision.
He knelt on one knee in front of Yuyan, looked at her with bright eyes, and said affectionately.
"Little sister Yu, I have been fond of you for a long time, please come with me!"
When Yu Yan heard this confession, not only did her face remain calm, she didn't even open her eyes, she just asked in a low voice.
"I'll go with you? My home is here, and I'm the queen of Wen State. Why should I go with you?"
Facing Yu Yan's merciless questioning, Ye Jingxi looked serious.
"But you are not happy now, are you? Although Wenguo is your homeland, it is definitely not your destination. I heard that Mu Beiqing married you just to consolidate his throne. He never treated you sincerely and made things difficult for you. I can't bear to see you stay here and suffer injustice."
Having said that, Ye Jingxi grabbed Yuyan's hand which was placed on the side and assured her in an urgent tone.
"Don't worry, I will treat you well. Even if you go to the Kingdom of Jin, you will still be the most honorable queen of the Kingdom of Jin. I, Ye Jingxi, can assure you that you are the only one in my life. I will make sure you live a happy life every day."
Faced with Ye Jingxi's promise, Yuyan was not moved at all. She pulled her hand back forcefully and said nonchalantly.
"You don't have to do this. I don't like you and I won't go with you."
"But……"
Ye Jingxi's face became anxious and he wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yuyan again.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes were clear and her words were sonorous and powerful.
"I am from Wen, and you are from Jin. Although our two countries are at war, we have different positions, so casualties on the battlefield are inevitable. I have nothing to say about this. But I am always a Wen, and I will never be with the enemy emperor who killed tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of my Wen country."
Besides, Wen State and Jin State were originally opposing countries. Even if they had not interfered with each other in the past few years, there was no guarantee that the war would not break out again one day.
Ye Jingxi's expression changed several times, and the words that had been on his lips for several times finally came out.
"But the Wen family has long been rotten, and Emperor Wenyuan has killed your entire Yu family. Now Mu Beiqing is still treating you so harshly. I don't understand why you are unwilling to leave."
Hearing this, Yu Yan's eyes suddenly froze and her face became even colder.
Yes! The civil service is too filthy, and the emperor's mind changes rapidly.
At that time, Yu's father was captured and returned safely, but Emperor Wenyuan suspected that their Yu family had been bribed by the enemy country and defected to the Jin Kingdom.
In addition, Yu's father was a great general guarding the country, commanding millions of troops, and had long been suspected by Emperor Wenyuan.
Emperor Wenyuan wanted the Yu family to guard the country's borders for him, but he was also afraid that they would become too successful and threaten his throne.
He even listened to slander during the war between the Yu family and the Jin Kingdom and provided false intelligence about the enemy, which eventually led to the death of all the male members of the Yu family.
