The girl was in her prime, with a slender figure and a luxuriant appearance, like a flower bud about to bloom, and she was extremely beautiful. However, there was a hint of sadness between her brows, which made her look like she was forcing a smile. She seemed to want to smile, and her mouth moved, but the corners of her eyes were still slightly drooping.

People who are not born with this type of eyes will behave like this, it means they are really in a bad mood and are just pretending.

Ye Shuo's first reaction when he saw her was that this girl was worried.

As for Xiao Luzi standing next to him, he was thinking, the Grand Tutor is indeed a hidden talent, his daughters are all prettier than the other, and you can't tell from the Grand Tutor's appearance!

I thought the Crown Princess was beautiful enough, but I didn't expect that her sister was even more beautiful. She was less dignified and graceful than the Crown Princess, but her appearance was better.

Because Xiao Luzi knew that the Grand Tutor had two daughters, he subconsciously thought the girl in front of him was the Grand Tutor's youngest daughter, and the Crown Princess's sister.

But Ye Shuo didn't think so. First, the age didn't match. The master looked to be in his 50s or 60s, so how old was this girl? Giving birth at an advanced age was a very dangerous thing in modern times, not to mention in ancient times.

Even if the Crown Princess is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, she is too young. The Crown Princess is only in her early twenties this year. That is to say, the Grand Tutor was in his thirties when he gave birth to the Crown Princess. It is not easy for her to give birth to another daughter a few years later.

It would be fine if it was said that the Taifu was shameless and took a concubine at such an old age, but the key point was that along the way, Ye Shuo discovered that the Taifu seemed to have only married this one wife, who was of the same age as the Taifu, and the girl was so young, she really didn't look like a little daughter.

It’s more like she’s a granddaughter.

It’s just that granddaughters of this era would basically not appear in their grandfather’s house. Even if they did, they would basically stay for a short time. But looking at the clothes of the two maids next to them, they were all the same style as ordinary maids in the Taifu Mansion. It didn’t look like they were just staying for a short time, as if they had always lived here. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to say that all the personal maids were from the Taifu Mansion.

Plus, the Crown Princess never mentioned anything about her sisters...

Ye Shuo couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head gently at Xiao Luzi, signaling him not to say more or ask more questions.

Xiao Luzi was confused and a little puzzled.

Soon, the girl walked towards this side and said, "Grandfather, grandmother."

Xiao Luzi was startled, and subconsciously began to guess the eldest lady's identity, appearance, and age. Only then did he realize what His Highness had meant.

Completely unaware of the little movements of the master and servant, the girl bowed to the Grand Tutor and Madam Zhen, then shifted her gaze to the strange child in front of her.

The girl's first reaction was similar to Mrs. Zhen's. She thought the child in front of her was really cute. However, she was young after all, so her reaction was not as obvious as Mrs. Zhen's.

But obviously, she was still interested in Ye Shuo.

"This young master is..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo immediately put on his signature smile.

Seeing that he was about to use the same old trick again, the Grand Tutor interrupted him before he could say anything and spoke for him: "This is the Ninth Prince. Wen Yin, come here and meet the Ninth Prince."

This child is actually a prince!

Not to mention the girl, even Mrs. Zhen next to her was shocked.

There was no way, because Ye Shuo had specially changed out of the prince's clothes and put on ordinary clothes. Therefore, Mrs. Zhen just thought that he was a young man from some family and did not think of him as a prince.

Seeing that she had just been talking to him in a condescending manner, Liang Wenyin hurriedly walked down the steps and saluted towards Ye Shuo, saying, "This subject greets the Ninth Prince. I pay my respects to the Ninth Prince."

Ye Shuo glanced at the Master and said helplessly, "No need to be polite, get up."

Ye Shuo didn't go forward, but asked Xiao Luzi to help.

"Master, you are really something. We are all family, why bother with all this?" Ye Shuo didn't like people bowing to him, and basically avoided it whenever possible. It was probably a habit brought from his previous life, and it would be difficult to change in this life.

Who is his family?

I've never seen anyone so familiar.

The Grand Tutor glared at Ye Shuo and said slowly, "Your Highness, etiquette cannot be abolished."

To be honest, Ye Shuo did not consider the tutor as his own, but he did not have to kneel down to him.

Seeing that the Grand Tutor insisted, Ye Shuo had no choice.

It was already dark when he came out of the palace. The Grand Tutor first held his nose and asked someone in the mansion to pass the message to the palace. After he finished explaining, the Ninth Prince showed a satisfied look, which made the Grand Tutor even more furious.

Madam Zhen was still puzzled. Her husband had made it clear that he supported the crown prince, so why would he bring other princes to his home to spend the night and stay for such a long time?

Fortunately, the housekeeper came over to inform that dinner was ready, which invisibly defused a possible conflict.

The dinner at the Tutor's house was just as simple as the house where the Tutor lived. It was in no way comparable to the palace. There were four people in total, so four dishes and one soup were enough. Finally, because Ye Shuo was there, a dish of roasted ham was specially added today.

It is certainly much better than the food in ordinary people's homes, but again, it doesn't look like what a first-rank official eats at all.

The Grand Tutor had predicted that the Ninth Prince, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, would not be able to stand this, and he had already prepared to make a few sarcastic remarks to him when the time came. However... the Ninth Prince not only did not complain, but ate with relish, looking as if he was adapting well, which made the Grand Tutor a little confused.

how so?

But in fact, Ye Shuo is very easy to feed. If there is something good, he will definitely eat the good ones. If there is nothing good, he will eat other things as well. It’s all fine with him. He is not very picky about food.

Ye Shuo eats a lot but not fast. He chews every mouthful of rice thoroughly before swallowing it. This puts the least burden on his stomach and intestines and doesn't make the food spilled everywhere.

Then, when this scene fell into the eyes of Mrs. Zhen, it seemed that he was eating non-stop. Mrs. Zhen was old and her appetite was not very good. Her granddaughter had been weak since childhood and ate little. Mrs. Zhen had hardly seen this scene, and unknowingly followed suit and ate half a bowl more.

Liang Wenyin next to him was even more surprised. She thought that the Ninth Prince seemed to have a big appetite and ate with relish. It seemed that ordinary meals became delicious.

The master didn't understand. How could a child be so surprised when he was just eating? Why were the two people in the family so interested as if they had never seen it before?

Please forgive me, Master, for not having seen the world and not knowing that the people most watching food broadcasts among modern children are their mothers, grandmothers and college students.

Of course it's cute when a child's cheeks puff up!

Madam Zhen was the first to put down her bowl and chopsticks. She just remembered the important matter at this moment. She had originally planned to wait for her husband to come back and discuss the matter with him, but who would have thought that a prince would come with them today. For a moment, Madam Zhen didn't know whether she should mention it or not.

After all, they were an old married couple for many years, so the Grand Tutor could naturally see what his wife was thinking at the moment. In addition, he had already made up his mind about the matter and really didn't want to discuss it anymore, so he said, "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping."

As expected, Mrs. Zhen stopped talking immediately.

Ye Shuo, who was watching the fun, didn't mind the big deal. Without any hesitation, he put down his chopsticks decisively: "Master's wife, don't listen to my teacher. I am the prince and I have the final say. Just tell me what you want to say."

Isn't it said that etiquette cannot be abolished? Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents and teachers, teachers should step back a little.

Mrs. Zhen was visibly stunned as she never expected that he would speak suddenly.

The Grand Tutor couldn't help but grit his teeth and looked over to see what the little prince was going to do next.

Liang Wenyin looked at this, then looked at that, and couldn't help but tugged at Madam Zhen's sleeve nervously: "Grandma, forget it..." What if they started quarreling in front of the Ninth Prince?

The Grand Tutor also exhaled heavily: "Your Highness, this is my family affair, so please don't worry about it."

What a coincidence, the more the Grand Tutor doesn't want him to do something, the more he wants to do it.

Ye Shuo turned a deaf ear to him and stroked his chin: "How about letting me guess?"

Since it was clearly stated that it was a family matter, coupled with the girl's sad face when they met, combined with her age...

Ye Shuo suddenly had an idea: "Could it be about the young lady's marriage?"

The Grand Tutor's breathing suddenly stagnated. He was wondering, this Ninth Prince was not good at studying, but how come his brain worked so quickly in other aspects?

Could it be that he is only smart in other areas?

Ye Shuo asked again: "But the young lady and Madam Zhen think it is inappropriate, but the old tutor disagrees?" Based on the old man's personality, this is the most likely thing to happen.

The old man is stubborn and won't listen to other people's opinions at all.

Liang Wenyin was so shocked that she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief: "How did you know?"

Ye Shuo spread his hands: "Guess."

"But it seems that I guessed right."

The old face of the Grand Tutor has now become as black as the bottom of a pot.

However, Mrs. Zhen's psychological defenses were collapsing little by little.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo thought about it. According to common sense, he should not interfere in other people's family affairs, especially other people's daughters' marriages. How could he, an outsider, ask about these things?

But the situation is different now. The Taifu obviously has no intention of listening to the opinions of the two women in the family. He probably thinks that they are just women in the inner house and don't know as much as he, a great scholar who is the prince's teacher. Besides, these days, it is popular to have parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If the Taifu likes the other party, his granddaughter has no right to intervene at all.

But the Taifu didn't know that it was the young couple's life, and just because he thought it was good didn't mean it was really good. Just because he had read a lot of books, did it mean he would never make mistakes in his life?

When it comes to marriage, the opinions of the parties involved are the most important.

Ye Shuo is small and weak, and cannot help everyone in such an era, but at least if he sees something, he will help if he can.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. His status as a prince is not given for nothing, right?

The Crown Princess has married into the Eastern Palace and is now the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Her behavior is restricted in every way. I guess this is why Madam Zhen didn't tell her.

In addition, since the Grand Tutor insisted on doing so, Madam Zhen and Liang Wenyin really had nowhere to turn for help.

What if he really is a bad guy? We can't just watch the girl jump into the fire, right?

In this case, it's not wrong to interfere in other people's family affairs.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuo couldn't help but smile and said, "Since the Grand Master doesn't want to listen, then Master's wife and niece Wen Yin should tell me. I have plenty of time, and I don't mind being annoyed."

Liang Wenyin is the Crown Princess's niece, and he and the Crown Prince are brothers. Is it not too much for Liang Wenyin to call him "little uncle"?

Mrs. Zhen hesitated for a while, but finally said it out.

Although the Ninth Prince is still young, he is willing to listen. As for whether he can help...what if? What if he can?

"Here's what happened..."

After hearing this, the Taifu finally lost all control and threw his chopsticks in anger.
