You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1077 (Because You Are Ordinary)

The next morning, Ye Hua had breakfast with his wives and mother. Of course, Ye Juetian was not absent from the gathering.

”Little Tian, you seem to be in good spirits these days. Whatʼs making you so happy?” Le Jing, curious, asked her son as she noticed a smile on his lips.

Ye Juetian was, of course, reminiscing about his time with Yi Yi, feeling very happy. ”Just thinking that my big brother is going to introduce a girl to me makes me happy.”

Ye Hua chuckled softly, ”You will surely be satisfied.”

Afterwards, Ye Hua continued, ”Iʼve noticed that there are not enough people serving in the palace lately. Since Little Tian is getting married soon, Iʼve hired some palace maids to take care of trivial matters in the palace.”

The three wives were surprised; they hadnʼt heard Ye Hua mention this before. Le Jing expressed her approval, ”Indeed, Ye Hua, itʼs good to have more people in the palace. It adds vitality.”

”Mother is right. After we finish breakfast, would you like to choose some palace maids for the chambers?” Ye Hua asked with care.

Although Daji was serving by his side, she was just one person. Le Jing preferred those who were pleasing to the eye, not chattering maids.

”Thatʼs a good idea. Iʼll pick a few later,” Le Jing agreed in a gentle tone.

Ye Hua then turned to Ye Juetian, ”Little Tian, you can also choose a few.”

”Yes, big brother,” Ye Juetian replied respectfully.

Qing Ya and the others felt a sense of surprise. Was Ye Hua sending people to monitor Little Tian? After breakfast, Daji whispered a few words to Ye Hua.

”Mother, everyone is here, just outside,” Ye Hua said with a light smile.

”Good, letʼs go and have a look.”

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi supported Le Jing as they left the chamber. Outside, a group of women in pink court dresses, delicate and charming, stood with lowered heads, feeling nervous. After all, they were in the presence of the Emperor of the Voidless Empire – the highest authority. Serving him would be a lifelong honour.

However, only one woman in the crowd raised her head, her gaze filled with confusion.

The current expressions of Ye Juetian and Qian Yuqing stiffened as they immediately spotted Yi Yi in the lineup.

Unable to comprehend, Ye Juetianʼs mind buzzed. No wonder Yi Yi mentioned giving him a surprise. But what was this surprise? Instead of being delighted, he found it terrifying. The imperial palace was a dangerous place. Why would Yi Yi be so naive?

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi noticed the change in their expressions, eventually looking towards the most outstanding girl in the lineup. This must be Yi Yi, exceptionally beautiful.

However, this arrangement must have been made by Ye Hua. The question was, what was his intention in doing so?

Yi Yi in the lineup looked at the two Ye brothers strangely. Was she seeing things? Why were there two identical Ye Ye?

However, when Yi Yi saw the Ye Ye in the middle, she felt fearful, while the Ye Ye beside him felt joyful.

Ye Hua indeed arranged this recruitment of palace maids. Yi Yiʼs application could be considered accidental since no one persuaded her. She just heard there was a way to enter the imperial palace and decided to sign up.

Upon receiving the list, Ye Hua was very satisfied. The bait had been taken willingly.

”Little Tian, youʼre getting married soon, so go ahead and make your selection,” Ye Hua said casually.

Hearing this, Ye Juetianʼs heart sank. He completely didnʼt understand what his big brother meant.

However, Yi Yi in the lineup felt delighted when she heard this. Was Ye Ye going to choose her as his wife? She was so happy about it and glad she kept it a secret until today.

Qian Yuqing was very worried, but it wasnʼt the right time to say anything.

Le Jing smiled, ”Little Tian, you go first.”

Ye Juetian was very nervous. He wanted to choose Yi Yi, but looking at her hopeful gaze, he clenched his teeth tightly.

Big brother was definitely testing him! Yi Yiʼs appearance was not a coincidence!

Ye Juetian smiled and said, ”Thank you, mother and big brother. Little Tian wonʼt be polite then.”

Ye Juetian pointed at a few people, but Yi Yi was not among them.

Ye Hua stood without saying anything. Qian Yuqing sighed in relief; Little Tian still showed some rationality.

Yi Yi in the lineup furrowed her brows. Why didnʼt Ye Ye choose her, but instead chose other girls? Didnʼt he see her? No, he definitely saw her. Then why didnʼt he choose her?

”Little Tian, that girl is very beautiful, why didnʼt you choose her?” Le Jing curiously asked.

Ye Juetian said in a low voice, ”Mother, beauty doesnʼt mean anything. In the end, itʼs just a bag of skin.”

Le Jing chuckled, ”I didnʼt expect Little Tian to have such an understanding. Well done, my son.”

At this moment, Yi Yi felt lost. What did Ye Ye just say? It hurt so much. Why would Ye Ye say such things?

Le Jing gave some instructions to Yi Yi and then Qing Ya started assigning others.

After selecting the people, Ye Juetian left immediately, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer. However, Yi Yi wanted to talk to Ye Ye, but his coldness hurt her deeply. She didnʼt know what she had done wrong to make Ye Ye ignore her.

Ye Hua observed this and then left as well.

Back in his own chamber, Ye Juetian clenched his fists tightly.

Why did this happen? Was it big brotherʼs doing? It must be! It definitely was!

Ye Juetian directly took out a mirror and called Yi Yi.

Feeling the mirrorʼs vibration, Yi Yi quickly hid aside.

”Yi Yi.”

”Ye Ye, are you upset?”

Looking at Yi Yiʼs aggrieved expression, Ye Juetian felt that he shouldnʼt have done what he did.

”Yi Yi, how did you end up here?”

”A few days ago, I saw the imperial palace recruiting palace maids on the street. I thought you were in the palace, and if I entered, we could see each other every day. So, I came.”

”No one forced you?” Ye Juetian asked in confusion, suspecting that it wasnʼt his big brotherʼs doing.

Yi Yi shook her head, ”No, I came on my own. Yeye, Iʼm sorry... I didnʼt listen to you again.”

Ye Juetian rubbed his forehead, unsure of what to do.

Yi Yi lowered her head slightly, feeling wronged, and asked, ”Ye Ye, why didnʼt you choose me just now?”

”Yi Yi, you have to listen carefully to what Iʼm about to tell you, okay!” Ye Juetian no longer concealed the truth. If he didnʼt tell Yi Yi now, it could lead to misunderstandings later.

”Okay, Iʼm listening carefully.”

”Yi Yi, my big brother and my mother, both disapprove of us being together,” Ye Juetian said solemnly.

Yi Yi immediately asked, ”Ah, did I do something wrong? I can fix it. Although Iʼm a bit silly, give me some time, and I can definitely improve.”

The more Yi Yi spoke, the more uncomfortable Ye Juetian felt. It wasnʼt about fixing or changing – it was because you are an ordinary girl.
