Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

226-227

Chapter 226: People to Fellow Citizens Under Heavens

"So it is as such."

Ye Ke carefully looked at Ye Mei and upon seeing that Ye Mei did not react specially, he was relief. He then probingly asked, "Older Sister, do you find it not good?"

"Not good?" Ye Mei looked at him astonished and smiled immediately, "There is nothing not good about it. After entering the Palace, one would be noble and rich for one's entire lifetime being below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Could it be that you think I am that stupid to even let go of the wealth and riches that has reached to one's fingertips?" She said, "Initially I wanted to marry one with a higher position and the Emperor is the most noble person under Heavens. Naturally it isn't anything bad in becoming the Emperor's woman."

In the span of speaking, Ye Mei had restored her previous appearance and style, looking like she fully agreed with Ye Ke. When Ye Ke saw it as such, he clapped his hands with smiles, "I had said so! Father previously feared that you will not agree to eat and insisted for me to persuade you and I knew that he was worried for nothing. This kind of good news, Older Sister would definitely agree. One is not a fool so why is there a need for persuasion?"

When he was relaxed, he started to spill that he came to persuade Ye Mei under the orders of Ye Mao Cai. Ye Mei' eyes flashed and she smiled, "Father most likely do not understand me but you are my Younger Brother. How could you not understand me?"

"Older Sister, if you enter the Palace and gained the Emperor's favour, you must not forget this Younger Brother." Ye Ke said, "Now that Father had already brought me into officialdom, in the future with Older Sister's help, my road can only be smoother. It is likely that everyone in Long Ye have to listen to us siblings. At that time wind and rain is at our beck of call. As for that Empress, it is just a display. Now even that pregnant Consort Jing is gone, if you enter the Palace, no one in the Palace is your opponent and it would definitely be smooth sailing."

Ye Mei also smiled, "So it is as such."

When Ye Ke obtained Ye Mei's guarantee, he seemed to be very satisfied and his final worry was resolved. After speaking a while more he then leave after discussing with great interest on his future career path with Ye Mei. After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei's expression became cold.

Ye Mao Cai actually bought over Ye Ke so quickly but it was not unexpected. Ye Ke's biggest wish in this lifetime was to have powers in his hands to call for the wind and rain. Ye Mao Cai drew a biscuit for Ye Ke and Ye Ke's heart was moved enough to sacrifice his own Older Sister. Moreover in Ye Ke's eyes, going into the Palace to be the Emperor's woman was most likely a good thing that one could ever hope for but did not understand the danger in every step of it. Because Emperor Yong Le was just too difficult to control and at the other side there was a clear-minded Prince Rui watching like a tiger.

Ye Ke and Ye Mei was the same. They were extremely selfish people that when facing their own interest, the affection of family was not worth anything. If Ye Ke knew that Ye Mei did not have any interest in being the Emperor's woman, he would not change his mind or intention as his own career was much more important.

But how would Ye Mei be willing to pave the way for Ye Ke?

After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei stood up and walked round the room for two rounds, showing her anxiety.

But she also understood that Ye Ke currently, in some aspects, was considered her enemy.

She thought for a long time before finally came to a decision and stood up and opened up the chest in the room. That were dozens of dresses that Ye Furen gave to her to compensate and was the latest styles and materials. Ye Mei crouched down in front of the chest and started to select seriously.
