Chapter 46 An Unexplained Visit
Imperial city, Princess's residence.
Su Xing looked at the luxurious courtyard in front of him in disbelief, and for a long time he couldn't find the right words to describe it.
As expected of the Princess's Mansion, it is so magnificent, even more magnificent than the Prince Regent's Palace, and comparable to the Imperial Palace...
Is this appropriate?
Su Xing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Linghan in front of him on the left. Ye Linghan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and turned his head at this moment.
Su Xing was stunned at first, then he pointed at the surrounding environment and opened his mouth: "Here..."
When the words came to his lips, he realized that they were inappropriate. Who was he? How could you talk about the princess behind her back?
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ye Linghan frowned in displeasure.
After a moment, he actually explained for the first time: "The eldest princess was deeply loved by the late emperor, and this mansion was also given by the late emperor. In order to make the eldest princess live comfortably, it was specially built according to the palace where the eldest princess lived in the palace."
Ye Linghan's voice was neither hurried nor slow. Although it still had his usual coldness, it was much softer.
Su Xing was stunned and felt flattered.
He nodded very flatteringly: "I see. Thank you, Regent, for clearing up my confusion."
Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing's slightly grateful smile, then quickly looked away without responding.
Taking this opportunity, Su Xing became a little bolder and asked, "Regent, why are we here today?"
Ye Linghan turned his head again, his handsome face suddenly darkened, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before, but full of displeasure and disgust: "Have you forgotten the three people I mentioned?"
Su Xing's heart tightened, and he quickly replied, "No, I didn't forget."
How could he forget?
But wasn't his speculation wrong?
The person who kidnapped him has nothing to do with Mu Yuanhou...
Before they knew it, they had crossed the courtyard and were in sight of the front hall.
Before Su Xing could marvel at the magnificence of the hall, he saw a graceful and elegant woman slowly walking out of the hall surrounded by a group of people.
Su Xing had never seen the eldest princess, but he could tell at a glance that the woman who was smiling but exuded royal majesty was the eldest princess Ye Wan.
He didn't dare to look anymore, and immediately lowered his head, slowing down his pace, and deliberately keeping a distance from Ye Linghan.
Not long after, he heard a series of scattered kneeling sounds: "Greetings to the Regent."
Ye Linghan did not respond, but bent down slightly and greeted in a businesslike manner: "Aunt, how have you been lately?"
"Thank you, Regent, for your concern." An elderly but clear woman's voice slowly rang out, "Everything is fine with me."
Su Xing secretly sighed in his heart: This is really a royal characteristic. They are obviously aunt and niece, but they still talk in such polite ways. It's really impersonal...
Ye Linghan then raised his hand towards the people kneeling on the ground and asked them to stand up.
Afterwards, Ye Linghan chatted with Ye Wan for a while.
Su Xing remained bent over and lowered his head, not daring to move until someone looked at him.
He knew it was his turn to pay respect, so he immediately lifted his coat and knelt down: "I, Su Xing, pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Ye Wan smiled and replied, "No need to be polite, get up."
Since he is someone close to Ye Linghan, she has to be polite no matter who he is.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess." Su Xing thanked her respectfully, then stood up but still kept his head down.
Although he moved slowly and his tone of voice was calm, he was already extremely nervous inside.
Not to mention that Cao Bao had never seen such a big shot before, he himself had never seen one before, and he was afraid that something might go wrong.
He thought that as long as he performed the greetings and then stayed quietly beside Ye Linghan, everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wan was actually interested in him and asked, "Whose family is this young master from? He is so handsome."
She noticed that Su Xing called himself a villain, which meant he had no official position. Judging from his clothes, he was not Ye Linghan's guard. The only possibility was that he was the son of a wealthy family.
Su Xing hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the Princess, the Minister of Revenue Su Yuan is my father."
After saying this, he began to feel uneasy again. After all, Su Yuan's idiot son was too famous, and he didn't know how these people would react after hearing it.
Ye Linghan is really something. He brought him here even though he knew he had a bad reputation. Not only will he be embarrassed, but Ye Linghan will also be misunderstood, right?
Sure enough, Ye Wan fell into silence, and the maids and servants behind her showed expressions of disbelief.
Fortunately, Ye Wan didn't say anything unpleasant. She just smiled and nodded, and said meaningfully: "Master Su is so lucky..."
Then, she invited Ye Linghan, “Prince Regent, tea and snacks are ready in the room. Let’s go in and talk.”
"Thank you, aunt." Ye Linghan nodded and walked forward.
Su Xing secretly exhaled and followed.
The hall was naturally extremely luxurious, but Su Xing no longer had the mood or courage to appreciate it.
He stood obediently beside Ye Linghan like a little follower, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, not daring to make any sound.
Ye Linghan and Ye Wan started chatting again, saying that the prince consort and his sons were not in the house, so they were unable to come and pay their respects to Ye Linghan, and asked Ye Linghan not to blame them.
Ye Linghan took the opportunity to mention the performance of Ye Wan's two sons in the court, with both recognition and criticism.
Ye Wan accepted all of them and expressed the hope that Ye Linghan would point out their shortcomings more often so that they could grow as quickly as possible.
Su Xing listened to the two people chatting back and forth, and felt depressed again. What on earth was Ye Linghan here for?
Just want to chat?
Just when Su Xing was puzzled, Ye Wan suddenly changed the subject and talked about Ye Linghan's marriage...
"Prince Regent, there is something I have been thinking about. You are not young anymore. When do you plan to get married?"
This topic seemed no different to Ye Linghan than any other. He replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt. I am also considering it."
After hearing this, Ye Wan and Su Xing were both surprised.
Su Xing was so surprised that he even looked up, and happened to see the expression on Ye Wan's face. She was surprised at first, and then a hint of joy flashed across her face.
"That's great." Ye Wan's tone suddenly became cheerful: "Do you have a favorite candidate? How about your aunt help you to select one?"
Ye Linghan actually agreed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt."
Ye Wan's eyes lit up with joy when she heard this: "The Regent is being too polite. I'm so happy that you're willing to let me take care of it!"
After that, she happily invited him, "It's rare for the Regent to come here, why don't you stay and have dinner together? It just so happens that the children at home have always wanted to see you."
“No.” Ye Linghan refused calmly: “I am just here to see my aunt. I have something important to do later.”
Having said that, he has already stood up.
Ye Wan also stood up, and while Ye Linghan was bowing, she suddenly winked at a maid beside her.
This scene happened to be seen by Su Xing...
