He didn't want to be involved in the matters of the imperial court.
He didn't want to be involved in those complicated schemes and dark matters.
The reason why he had achieved so much and performed so well. He just felt that there were some things he had to do, so he would do his best.
Also, the earlier he finished the war at the frontier fortress, the earlier he could come back. Not only could he see Zhao Yun'er earlier, but he could also see Mu Lianfeng earlier. At the same time, he could let Zhao Yun'er and Mu Lianfeng reunite as soon as possible and live happily together as a family.
For Ye Li, he felt that the happiest time in his life was when he lived with Zhao Yun'er's family.
It was simple and happy. It wasn't a rich and powerful life, but it was very comfortable.
After that period of time, Ye Li knew the life he wanted to pursue.
Even if he didn't live with Zhao Yun'er's family in the future, he still wanted to buy a piece of land in Shui Lan Village, build a house, and live a simple life.
He didn't need to trouble Zhao Yun'er's family, but he could often see the people he wanted to see.
Now that he accepted the Emperor's reward, it meant that he would be involved in the life of the imperial court in the future. This was something he didn't want.
In the eyes of others, this kind of decision was a bit foolish. Many people pursued fame and fortune their entire lives, but they still couldn't reach his current level.
But he refused to accept the status and honor that was at his fingertips.
The Emperor's eyes deepened. After a few seconds of silence, he faintly opened his mouth and said, "But from the looks of it, isn't it too unfair for a talented person like Beloved Official Ye to only be an ordinary commoner?
Zhen cherishes talent. Beloved Official Ye is a talent that I want to keep by my side! "
The Emperor's words meant that he wanted to force Ye Li to stay. He wasn't happy with Ye Li's refusal.
Everyone present knew that if Ye Li refused again, the Emperor might really get angry.
At that time, it could cause a very serious consequence. It might even cause Ye Li to lose his life.
Zhao Yun'er looked at Ye Li with a trace of worry in her eyes.
Zhao Yun'er knew a little about Ye Li. He had a stubborn personality and wouldn't give up easily once he set his mind on something.
Even in front of the Emperor, he might not be willing to do what he didn't want to do under the Emperor's pressure.
Anle stared at Ye Li worriedly as he clutched the corner of his shirt.
This fool, it's so good to accept a reward, why does he have to be a commoner?
If Ye Li didn't have any status, how could she marry him?
Ye Li replied with an indifferent face, "The emperor's appreciation for this minister is this minister's honour, but there are many talents in the Great Zhou Country, not just this minister.
This subject thanks Your Majesty for your kindness, but I still want to live a normal life! I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish! "
After Ye Li finished speaking, everyone held their breaths, afraid that they would be greeted with the emperor's fury in the next second.
The Emperor's eyes darkened, and there was an unreadable expression on his face.
The air was a bit heavy and Zhao Yun'er's heart began to beat faster. She looked at Ye Li with worry before looking at the Emperor.
Mu Lianfeng suddenly stood up and said to the Emperor, "Emperor, just grant General Ye his wish!
Since he doesn't care about the court, there's no point in forcing him to stay.
It's better to let him live the life he wants!
After all, he is a hero of our Great Zhou Country this time, he has already made great contributions. "
