Prince Cheng smiled.

"Your Majesty, that is exactly what I was thinking."

“In the past, I was worried that Ye Ling would not be able to hold the throne and that he would not be able to protect the country. That’s why I went to the common people to understand their suffering.”

"Now, the people live in peace and contentment, and they praise the Emperor endlessly."

"I'm relieved now. From now on, I'll take a good rest in this Great Yuan City."

"That's good! Third brother, a lot has happened in the palace in the past ten years."

"The emperor had three more sons and one princess."

"Only the Crown Prince and He Jing—"

The Empress Dowager sighed.

"Enough, I won't mention these painful things anymore!"

Prince Cheng knew that the Crown Prince and He Jing had hurt the Emperor and Empress Dowager's feelings.

And the birth of the little princess.

But it healed everyone.

"Third brother, I heard that you saved the little princess yesterday."

"It must be fate. You've regained your former glory. Let the little princess meet you."

"Um!"

Ye Qianqian was held in the Empress Dowager's arms the whole time.

But his eyes remained fixed on Prince Cheng.

From the moment he came in.

She kept looking at him.

Is this the same disheveled Imperial Uncle from last night?

Looking at him now, he really is a sprightly old man!

[He's so handsome even in his old age; he must have been an incredibly handsome man when he was young!]

[He might even be ranked high on the list of wealthy young men.]

Prince Cheng originally intended to hug Ye Qianqian.

Suddenly.

After hearing Ye Qianqian's inner thoughts.

I was completely startled.

Could it be?

Is this what the Emperor said last night, the little princess's true feelings?

Unexpected.

I can hear it too!

But why, last night?

When I first met the little princess, did I not hear her inner thoughts?

In that situation.

The little princess must have something on her mind.

Prince Cheng began to think.

Could it be because I was disheveled and covered my face last night?

Now, I'm being completely honest with you as family.

Will we be able to hear the little princess's inner thoughts?

However, this doesn't seem to be the main point.

The key point is...

The little princess just praised me as a handsome man!
