This also left Ruoqiu with many questions.

Logically speaking...

Zhou Yanyan didn't do anything wrong either.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with everything.

Why is the attitude different today?

They didn't give Zhou Yanyan any chance to have any contact with the Third Prince.

but.

The Empress Dowager's thoughts.

Ruoqiu couldn't say anything explicitly.

then.

Ruoqiu said to Zhou Yanyan.

"I don't know either."

"However, the Empress Dowager will surely be able to find a suitable woman for His Highness the Third Prince."

Zhou Yanyan didn't say anything more.

When passing by the Imperial Garden.

Zhou Yanyan saw Ye Chen practicing swordsmanship.

He stopped and began to examine it closely.

Zhou Yanyan's little scheme.

Ruoqiu naturally understood this clearly.

She stopped too.

Ye Chen noticed that someone was watching him.

But they didn't turn back.

Still practicing on my own.

Ye Mu walked over.

"Chen'er".

"Second Brother."

"I saw you working so hard first thing in the morning."

"How can you become your second brother's capable assistant if you don't work hard?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Good third brother."

"By the way, I heard that the Empress Dowager summoned Zhou Yanyan to the palace today. You didn't see her when you went to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager just now?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"have."

"Grandmother has good intentions. I heard before that Grandmother has taken a liking to Zhou Yanyan and wants to betroth her to you."

"I've also heard that Zhou Yanyan is a very good person and has a good appearance. Have you taken a liking to her?"

This question struck a chord with Zhou Yanyan.

This is also what Zhou Yanyan wants to know.

Zhou Yanyan stood quietly in place, waiting for the answer.

Ye Chen knew that Zhou Yanyan was waiting.

That's fine.

Take this opportunity to give Zhou Yanyan the answer she wants, and everything will become clear.

then.

Ye Chen shook his head and said.

"No."

This is the answer.

This instantly disappointed Zhou Yanyan.

She bit her lip tightly.

She looked at Ye Chen with resentment.

"Oh? Why didn't you like it?"

Ye Chen said it casually.

"When I first saw her, I just thought she was a nice woman, but I wasn't attracted to her at all."

"Of course, I won't have such thoughts."

Ye Mu scratched his head.

"Can't feelings be cultivated?"

"I know, but I don't want to."

"Why? Do you really dislike them so much that you won't give them even the slightest chance?"

"yes."

Why is that?

"I don't know, I just don't want to. Second brother, matters of the heart can't be forced."

Ye Mu nodded.

"Well, since you don't have that intention, then make it clear to your grandmother, so as not to delay Zhou Yanyan from finding a good husband again."

"I understand. I will go and talk to my grandmother about this after Zhou Yanyan leaves the palace."

Zhou Yanyan heard this.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

He turned and left.

Ye Chen heard the footsteps leaving behind him.

He said to Ye Mu.

"Second brother, has Mother ever told you? Zhou Yanyan is not a good match for me."

Ye Mu shook his head.

"I'm on my way to see my mother."

"How did you come to the conclusion that Zhou Yanyan is not a good match for you?"

"This is what Qianqian really thinks."

"So, you rejected Zhou Yanyan because you heard Qianqian's true feelings? If you didn't know those feelings, would you give Zhou Yanyan a chance now?"

"No." Ye Chen shook his head.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with Qianqian's true feelings. I really didn't like her."

Ye Mu nodded.

"That's fine, otherwise you'll always have a knot in your heart, always thinking that it's because of Qianqian's feelings that your judgment was affected!"
