Chapter 225 Decision
Chunyu Yang remained silent, and Chunyu Jing naturally wouldn't either. If he wanted to snatch the person away from his third brother, he had to proceed cautiously from now on.
However, Chunyu Shan was different:
"Sigh, yes, there's only one person, so how are we going to divide them?" Chunyu Shan scratched his head with his fan in distress. "It's not fair to follow the first-come-first-served rule now. We should at least ask Miss Ye's opinion first, shouldn't we?"
Ask your elder sister? Your elder sister's heart must belong to Father!
Jingxuan tugged at the emperor's sleeve in his arms, looked up at him with teary eyes and a pitiful expression, as if pleading with the emperor to grant Chunyu Yang's request first.
"Yes, Zize is right. I remember I promised her back in Qionglin Garden that if she ever found someone she wanted to marry, I would make the decision for her."
The emperor suddenly remembered this and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "You all like that girl, but it still depends on her choice."
Chun, Yu, Shan!
Chunyu Jing initially thought that Chunyu Shan genuinely liked Ye Pianran, but now he realized that this was merely Chunyu Shan's strategic maneuvering. He and Chunyu Yang had been close friends since childhood, so naturally he always considered Chunyu Yang's interests!
If Ye Pianran really had to choose, she would naturally choose Chunyu Yang!
“But Father, that wouldn’t be fair,” Chunyu Jing said through gritted teeth.
"How is it unfair?" the emperor asked.
"Father, you may not know this, but Ye Yankang, the eldest son of Marquis Anshi, is Jingxuan's study companion. Jingxuan often visits the Marquis's residence, so it is natural that Third Brother is closer to the Marquis's residence. Third Brother has the advantage of being in the lead, which is not fair to Zize and me."
Since Lao Liu insists on getting involved, then he'll drag him down with him completely!
"Hmm? Is that so?" The emperor looked down at Jingxuan, who gave him a wry smile, which amused the emperor greatly.
Raising his head, the emperor said meaningfully, "Left is no good, right is no good, you are making things difficult for me."
Chunyu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Father, how about this? At the autumn hunt, the three of us brothers will decide based on our strength. Whoever wins first place in this year's autumn hunt will be the first to ask her in person. If she is willing, then everyone will be happy. If she is not willing, then Father will decide."
"Third Prince's idea is excellent!" The Emperor clapped his hands and laughed. "Speaking with strength is indeed the way to go. What beauty doesn't admire a hero? Shaocheng, Zize, can you accept this proposal?"
Having said that, as if afraid they might create some more problems, the emperor didn't wait for their reply and slammed his hand on the table, saying, "It's settled then!"
Chunyu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that his back was completely soaked with sweat. He had thought he could settle things sooner, but unexpectedly, things had come full circle and he was back to square one.
That's fine too. If it's decided by strength, he still has a chance. This autumn hunt, he absolutely must win; he will not give up his pear to anyone!
——※※※——
At this very moment, Ye Pianran, completely unaware that she had become a highly sought-after target, was in the Incense Burning Courtyard, clinging to Liu Luluo like an unshakeable little tail.
Liu Lulu rolled her eyes, annoyed, after nearly bumping into Ye Pianran while turning around for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
"What are you doing following me around? Go away, go away, go practice your acupuncture techniques over there."
"Master~" Ye Pianran smiled and snuggled up to her, asking coquettishly, "What kind of medicine are you brewing?"
"Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pills," Liu Lulu replied casually.
"Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pills?" Ye Pianran's face was full of questions. "What kind of medicine is this, and what can it treat?"
Liu Lulu placed the medicinal herbs on the shelf, turned around to look at Ye Pianran, suddenly laughed, leaned close to Ye Pianran, lifted her chin with her finger, and said ambiguously:
“Silly disciple, a single encounter of golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless meetings in the mortal world. What in this world can surpass countless mortal meetings? Naturally, it is…”
Her fingers traced circles as they slid down, finally landing on Ye Pianran's chest. She poked it lightly and gave a vague "hmm."
Ye Pianran suddenly realized what was happening, her pretty face flushed red, and she took three steps back, stamping her foot and scolding, "Master! How could you make this kind of medicine?"
"As long as someone pays enough, your master will make any powerful pills," Liu Lulu chuckled. After teasing Ye Pianran, she turned back to studying her "Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills."
Ye Pianran hesitated for a moment, then moved closer and called out, "Master..."
Liu Lulu was exasperated by her nagging and said, "What's wrong with you today? You're acting like a baby who hasn't been weaned, making your teacher so annoyed. What's wrong, did you have a fight with that debt collector?"
Ye Pianran was surprised by Liu Luluo's keen insight. She paused for a moment and whispered, "How did Master know?"
"Heh," Liu Lulu chuckled lightly, "I was just guessing, but I was right. Why is that?"
Ye Pianran's smile faded, and after hesitating for a moment, she sighed:
"Master has known the Third Prince for many years, so you must know him very well, right?"
“Him? Him—” Liu Lulu originally wanted to mock Chunyu Yang, but suddenly remembered that doing so might ruin their relationship, so she changed her words and said, “Don’t be fooled by his fierce and aloof appearance. He is actually a very loyal person. If you treat him well, he will repay you tenfold. If you become friends, you will be friends for life. He would go through fire and water for you without hesitation. If he has someone in his heart, he will cherish and love them and will never change his mind.”
If you keep someone in your heart...
Yes, that's why that position remained vacant for seven years.
"However, he also has his annoying aspects. He's stubborn, inflexible, and thick-skinned; once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it."
After Liu Lulu finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Pianran and found that her expression had become even worse.
Did she say anything wrong?
"Ahem." Liu Lulu quickly cleared her throat and said, "Silly disciple, if you have any suspicions about him, the best way is not to listen to what others say, but to ask him yourself. I believe that he will not hide anything from you."
Ye Pianran's eyes flickered, and she raised her head: "Master..."
“Disciple, life is short, only a few decades. Don’t let go of what you have already firmly grasped. No one can predict what will happen in the future, and no one knows when disaster will strike.”
Liu Lulu said with a sigh, and then gave Ye Pianran a smile that could be described as bittersweet.
Recalling what Liu Lulu had gone through, Ye Pianran couldn't help but step forward and gently take her hand.
"I understand, Master," Ye Pianran said softly. "I was just... just a little confused."
Fine, since he said he wanted her to wait, then she would wait. She wanted to hear what kind of trouble he had that he couldn't let Jingxuan know.
"My good disciple." Liu Luluo breathed a sigh of relief. Her silly disciple had been scared away by her words; that debt collector would probably never let her go for the rest of her life.
Putting aside her worries, Ye Pianran hooked her arm around Liu Luluo's and said with a smile, "Master, please find something for your disciple to do. Your disciple is really bored today. No matter what the task is, even if it's just delivering medicinal herbs, your disciple is willing to do it!"
She almost forgot, her purpose in coming to the Incense Burning Courtyard today wasn't to confide in her master, but to receive more missions through Liu Luluo. Time was of the essence; she had to restore 666 to its original form before the autumn hunt!
