Yingping slept chaotically all day. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was still dark. After a full day's rest, he had recovered a lot. Although the palace is nice, it is still not as comfortable as his own 'doghouse'. Putting aside the depression of the past few days, Yingping's appetite has also recovered a lot.
Ye Changshan once again brought the cooked food to Yingping's room. He came twice in the morning and noon, but each time Yingping fell asleep with his head covered and his butt sticking out. Ye Changshan had no choice but to carry the food again. gone back.
This time Yingping woke up from hunger. He took the food brought by Ye Changshan and wolfed it into his mouth. Looking at him like this, he didn't look like he came back from the palace?
How is this different from a beggar on the street?
After a long meal, Yingping finally stopped using his chopsticks. Looking at Yingping enjoying his meal, Ye Changshan shook his head.
Yingping threw the chopsticks on the table without ceremony, and then wiped his greasy lips with his sleeves. His clothes were new, and the material looked like the best silk and satin from the south of the Yangtze River. It was probably something from the palace, but he had no intention of cherishing it at all. After burping, he patted his belly with satisfaction, and then Then he looked at the empty bowl and fell into deep thought.
Ye Changshan looked at Yingping in a daze and ignored him. As he was clearing away the dishes, he thought: So much has happened these days, it must have been a big impact on Yingping, right? He met his biological father, learned about his life experience, learned about his mother's past, and even suffered the news of his death alone...
Seeing Yingping's dazed look, Ye Changshan decided to continue leaving him alone.
“The food in the palace is still delicious”
Just when Ye Changshan was about to leave, Yingping suddenly said this. He looked at the bowl with the remaining rice grains, and his mind couldn't help but recall the delicious food in the palace a few days ago - this bed in the palace is not as comfortable as the one in the mountains. , but this dish... tsk tsk tsk, I dare not say that the chef's craftsmanship is really good!
"What?"
Ye Changshan didn't believe his ears at first, but when he realized what he was saying, he felt a little angry. He made it himself and brought it to your eyes. You want to swallow the whole bowl like a starving ghost. Tell me now. 'The food in the palace is still delicious'?
Ye Changshan picked up the plate and left his seat, saying, "Then you can go back to the palace to eat."
When Ying Ping came back to his senses, he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. He quickly pulled Ye Changshan back to his seat and said, "No, that's not what I meant! Come on, sit down first."
Looking at Yingping's flattering smile, Ye Changshan suddenly felt like laughing again, and thought that there was really nothing he could do to him. Helpless, Ye Changshan had to put down his dinner plate and sit down again.
Yingping seemed to have regained his former cheerfulness. He pulled Ye Changshan and said excitedly: "Don't talk about you, those things in the palace, even I have never seen them in my life. Those things are better than Fengming Juli's." I don’t know how many times more exquisite it is!”
Ye Changshan asked with a smile: "So, there is still something in the palace that attracts you?"
"Well…..."
Yingping was a little embarrassed. Yesterday he pulled Ye Changshan and scolded him all day long. The objects he scolded included Emperor Tang, Yi Hongyan, and Wen Junchen. He stepped on the stool with great disdain, rolled up his sleeves and waved his hands, sometimes pointing at Tai Chi Palace, and sometimes pointing at Tai Chi Palace. Wen Junchen's room, sometimes pointing to the ground and spitting, his expression was extremely resentful and disdainful, his tone was extremely wild and uninhibited, and he demoted everyone in the palace, as if he was the only one in the world who only had the will of the young master. If you don't want to, even if you give up the throne of the palace to me, I won't give a shit!
Ye Changshan was stunned by those words yesterday, thinking that he was indeed Yingping! Money can't buy you, but I'm happy! Awesome! But what about today? After eating a simple meal, do you think of the fine clothes and fine food in the palace? Faced with such a contrast, no matter how thick-skinned Yingping is, he feels a little embarrassed.
Ying Ping's face turned slightly red, and then quickly returned to normal. He said righteously: "We can't be so absolute! We have to admit its good points, and we can't deceive ourselves!"
"Then do you like Gongli or not?"
"how to say?"
Yingping paused for a moment, trying to find a suitable metaphor to describe this feeling. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers, shook his fingers and said, "You can use 'cheap' to describe this feeling."
"cheap?"
"Yes! The same position is placed in front of me. If this position does not belong to me, maybe I will be very interested; but if it belongs to me, then I will feel that I don't want it."
"Well...you are really mean like this."
"Hey - you can't say that about me. You put yourself in my shoes and think about it. What everyone knows is hidden from me alone, and they do it without my consent or my opinion. Do these and other things disrespect me too much? What’s more, this is not a trivial matter, it is a country!”
"What you said makes sense." Ye Changshan thought for a moment and found that it was indeed what Yingping said.
"These people have done so much without telling me, and when push comes to shove, they expect me to come out and sit in that position, to wipe their butts for them... Why should I let them have their way?"
yes! It's as if the parents didn't tell the child what marriage or love between a man and a woman was until he or she became an adult. When he or she started a family and started a career, they suddenly brought a woman or man to the child and asked him or her to get married and have children. Who would it be? It's also unacceptable.
"This is indeed too much, so you plan to fight them to the end? This..."
Ye Changshan hesitated to speak, but finally he mustered up the courage to say these words——
"This is the throne... Although I don't feel comfortable advising you, but... this is something that so many people are fighting for... Are you really not tempted?"
Yingping was noncommittal and fell into silence.
"Mr. Keyi and the second senior brother also worked hard, and... and I think the emperor is quite pitiful... Now he is helpless, his wife is a stranger to him, and your mother... Now you are the only one left..."
Seeing that Yingping remained silent, Ye Changshan stopped talking, for fear of touching the weak and unwilling parts of his heart.
After a moment, a sigh came from Yingping's mouth. He took over the conversation again and said quietly: "Why haven't I considered what you said?"
Yingping turned his head and looked at Ye Changshan. The strange thing was that Ye Changshan did not see tenderness in his eyes, but saw something strange. There was a trace of determination and ambition in this strangeness, which made Ye Changshan feel a little strange.
"I said I have considered it... Oh, 'ever considered' does not refer to my biological father - whether he is pitiful or not has nothing to do with me. He ignored the safety of our mother and son, so why should I care about him?"
Feeling Ye Changshan's confusion, Yingping explained: "I mean the previous sentence - this is the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Yingping fell into another state completely. The previous frivolity, liveliness and cynicism all disappeared in an instant, replaced by another soul.
"After all, it is the pinnacle of power... Everything I have experienced in the past few years has made me understand that strength is the only tool to protect oneself, and strength is not just about cultivation level, power is also a good thing. The female prime minister of Wei, Our mortal enemies, the Wang brothers and sisters, are just ordinary people with no cultivation, but the peerless experts like Zhehelan and Jianyeshi are all used by them. This is the charm of power. Especially after seeing what happened to you and me, And after what happened to my mother!”
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the light in the hut was getting darker and darker. Yingping's face was gradually swallowed up by the darkness. Ye Changshan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Yingping in front of him and fell into deep thought. This feeling seemed familiar, but for a while I couldn't tell where it was. Until the night fell and swallowed up the last light in the house, the two of them stared at each other in the darkness for a long time in tacit understanding.
Suddenly, Ye Changshan felt Yingping take out something, and then he heard a blowing sound, and a ball of hot flame appeared in front of his eyes. In the darkness, Yingping fumbled for the lamp and carefully lit it. Yingping held an oil lamp in one hand and looked at Ye Changshan with a scrutinizing face. When his face appeared under the flickering light again, Ye Changshan clearly felt that the original Yingping was back.
Yingping held up the oil lamp and suddenly everyone came closer. The heat of the lamp flame almost made Ye Changshan's hair burn.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Ye Changshan quickly moved his head back.
But Yingping moved his head forward again, as if he was exploring a deep cave. This time they were even closer than before, their noses almost touching.
Ye Changshan leaned back as much as possible, while Yingping stretched his neck as much as possible. Suddenly, Yingping reached out and touched Ye Changshan's face, and then squeezed it. Before Ye Changshan could react, he moved his hand down again, first patted his shoulder, and then knocked on his chest, like this It looks like Uncle Wu picking watermelons on the street.
After a while of groping, Yingping's hand seemed to have no intention of stopping. It moved from the chest to the lower abdomen. When it crossed the Dantian and was about to go down, Ye Changshan suddenly felt something wrong. Thinking of the incident during the day, He jumped up from the stool with a bang, more agile than the wild cat outside the house.
"Where the hell are you touching?"
Ye Changshan patted his body and then protected it tightly, as if he wanted to pat clean all the places Yingping had touched just now.
Yingping didn't know why Ye Changshan had such a big reaction, but he didn't care about Ye Changshan's 'excessive' behavior at this time. Ying Ping sat calmly in his original position, his body movements still maintaining the posture of stretching out his head and leaning in. He looked at Ye Changshan who first squinted his eyes, then one eye was bigger and the other was smaller, showing a suspicious expression.
"I heard... you're in the sun?" Yingping said, still looking at Ye Changshan with big eyes and small eyes.
Ye Changshan was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "That's right..."
"I heard... you are not just in the Kaiyang Realm now?"
"Hmm... I guess..." Since Ye Changshan didn't go from 'Kai Yang' to 'Xiao Man' and then to higher realms step by step like other practitioners, he still didn't quite understand these realms. specific differences.
"Then...what state are you in now? 'Xiaoman'? 'Jingzhe'? Or...'Daman'...?"
"Uh...actually, I don't know too much."
"Well..."
"But Third Senior Brother said that at least there is 'Great Man' now. As for whether 'Tianji' has been reached... it remains to be verified."
Ye Changshan said this sentence naturally and calmly.
"Hiss—" Yingping took a breath, his expression changed from suspicious to full of surprise, and he stammered: "Oh my god... Tianji? I'm a good boy! How old are you? ! If it is really the Tianji realm! Wouldn’t it be younger than the third uncle!? This...this...is this too exaggerated!?"
