Liu Qinghuan raised his leg and kicked forward.

Ye Heng reached out and caught Liu Qinghuan's little feet, putting them into his shoes: "I'm just kidding, I'll go and tell them."

"That's better." Ye Heng's sudden intimate behavior made Liu Qinghuan blush secretly.

"Eat some more with me."

"I'll watch you eat."

Liu Qinghuan held the cat and sat opposite Ye Heng.

"Why are you so far away from me?"

"If you want to eat, then eat well," Liu Qing said cheerfully, "You should go sit in General Ye's yard later."

Ye Heng laughed when he heard this: "General Ye?"

"Oh, what should I call then?"

Liu Qinghuan recalled that Princess Jinglan asked her to call her mother. From some unknown perspective, Ye Heng really looked like her.

"Then just call me uncle. General Ye doesn't like the sound of it," Ye Heng said jokingly. "Do you think you will have to call me General Ye from now on?"

Liu Qinghuan picked up the chopsticks and pretended to hit him.

Ye Heng said, "Qinghuan, spare my life."

"snort."

Ye Heng ate half full, then followed Liu Qinghuan's instructions and went to Ye Huaian's yard.

"Mother," Ye Heng bowed, "Where is father?"

Princess Jinglan put Liuli aside and beckoned, "Heng'er, come here. Let me take a good look at you. I heard you were injured."

Ye Hengmu looked at Princess Jinglan without moving an inch. "It's just a minor injury, don't worry, mother."

Princess Jinglan: ...

"You damned child, you're not lovable at all," Princess Jinglan hugged Liuli tightly again, "You're worse than a cat."

What can Ye Heng say?

Isn't it the father who does things like coaxing the mother?

"When you were little, you said you would protect your mother when you grew up. How come you've become like your wooden father after growing up?"

"The child will protect his mother."

Jing Lan rolled her eyes. "Never mind. I don't expect you to say anything nice. Your father is in the study. Go find him."

"I'll take my leave, child."

Jing Lan looked at Ye Heng running away quickly, snorted, and pinched Liu Li's ear: "You stupid kid."

Liuli: “Meow~”

"You are so well-behaved. Let your aunt see if you are a cute little one..." Jing Lan pulled apart Liuli's hind legs and found that this flattering cat was actually a male.

"Meow~"

Liuli screamed shrilly.

Jing Lan folded Liuli's hind legs together and said nonchalantly, "She's just a little girl."

Liuli:?

Ye Heng entered the study and found that his second uncle Ye Huaiping was also there.

"Father, Second Uncle."

"Nephew, you're back!" Ye Huaiping spoke in a very loud voice. If Ye Heng didn't have a strong mental state, he would have been frightened.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle."

"Did entering the palace go smoothly today?"

Ye Huaian asked.

Ye Heng sat down at the bottom: "Just reporting on my work."

Ye Huaian looked at Ye Heng's expression and said nothing more.

"You are quite close to the Fifth Prince. Has Your Majesty mentioned anything about his recent actions?"

Ye Heng's expression indeed turned worse, but he said, "Xiu Ye has no intention of taking the throne, father, don't worry."

Ye Huaiping said: "My dear nephew, there is no royal prince who doesn't want that position, don't be deceived!"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Heng felt that there was something else behind what his father and uncle said.

"What happened during the six months I was away from Yunxi?"

Ye Huaiping sighed, "Now the four princes are competing for the throne. My Ye family is loyal to the emperor and our country, and we must not get involved in such a matter!"

Ye Heng remained silent, his face darkening as he considered what the emperor had said to him today.
