Chapter 237: Praise for Eating Well-behaved
Yuan Siyin was speechless and choked with emotion: "You should leave now, I don't want to see you."
I want to see you.
Yu Shiyan answered confidently and righteously.
"...Then I'll go."
"etc."
"What is it now!"
The phrase "furious and embarrassed" perfectly describes her current mood.
Yu Shiyan picked up the bowl and said, "I had a bowl of fish soup today. I'll try harder tomorrow and have a couple more sips."
"What's the meaning?"
"A compliment for eating obediently."
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"Um."
Yu Shiyan's sparkling eyes curved quietly, her long eyelashes and hair bathed in moonlight glistening like condensed water. Her alluring red lips beneath her nose unconsciously formed a beautiful curve.
Yuan Siyin stared blankly for a moment, a suspicious blush flashing across her face, before turning and fleeing in panic.
Yu Shiyan watched her cover her face and walk back in silence, but he just kept laughing, as if he had fallen into a honey pot.
No, it should be honey pot.
Zhong Heng couldn't bear to watch any longer and finally showed himself: "Master."
Yu Shiyan turned around, his smile more intoxicating than the evening breeze: "What is it?"
"Your subordinate is here to report intelligence."
"No rush, take your time."
Zhong Heng: "..."
Regardless of anything else, no matter how bad the master's mood is, as long as he encounters Miss Yuan...
It's unbearable to look at, never mind, let's not talk about it.
Zhong Heng calmed himself down and continued to perform his duties diligently: "The Emperor has decreed that Consort Wan has not been strict in managing her subordinates and is hereby confined to her quarters for three days."
Upon hearing Chu Wan's name, Yu Shiyan's smile turned cold again, and his chilling tone sent a chill down one's spine: "Three days? As expected."
If she cried even more bitterly, she might only be punished by copying scriptures. After all, it was a palace servant who copied them, so she wouldn't have to lift a finger.
"The informants planted next to her."
"She has now replaced Suqing and been promoted to a second-class palace maid. She will bring more news in the future, so please rest assured, Master."
"Um."
Yu Shiyan strolled casually under the moonlight, his fingers brushing against the carefully trimmed bushes, as if remembering something: "How is the situation in Yu Yuanchao?"
“It went…smoothly.” Zhong Heng hesitated for a moment.
"Speak your mind directly, there's no need to hesitate."
"It can only be said that Miss Yuan pulled back from the brink and had the foresight to recognize talent."
Zhong Heng had no choice but to speak tactfully.
Although gathering information was his duty, there were some things that even a grown man like him couldn't bring himself to say.
He hasn't done anything serious, but he's already amassed a lot of benefits. In addition, he's also taken several concubines. I wonder how many people the Crown Prince's mansion can hold if this continues.
Yu Shiyan frowned and nodded seriously: "I think so too, otherwise she wouldn't have been so eager to please me."
"Also, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Lin."
Zhong Heng immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to him: "Not only us, but the Yuan family also seems to be interested in winning over Prime Minister Lin."
Yu Shiyan unfolded the letter and read it line by line, his expression showing little change: "I remember that Lin Xiangyu and General Yuan were not on good terms."
"Yes, that's why General Yuan never showed up; it was General Si who mediated all the way."
"Alright, I'll send a letter to Prime Minister Lin and find out his opinion."
Yu Shiyan folded the secret letter back up and put it back in the envelope unopened: "General Yuan and Prime Minister Lin are both rare and loyal ministers, one a civil official and the other a military one. If these two can turn hostility into friendship and work together, there will be no disadvantages."
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Lin is too old and won't be able to overcome this mental hurdle."
