"Huh—seventh brother, is that pitiful expression you're faking?" Ye Jingyu asked in shock.
He even tried to plead with his elder brother, the Crown Prince, on his behalf!
After being exposed, Ye Jingning was a little angry, and her little face was puffed up with sullenness.
"Wow! The Seventh Prince can change his expression at such a young age, that's amazing! He's just as good as the Fifth Prince!" Yun Shu exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.
He had barely finished his exclamation when he covered his mouth and flinched.
We're doomed!
He spoke ill of the Fifth Prince, right to his face. The Fifth Prince has such a bad temper, he's doomed!
"Little Fatty Yun, are you blind? How can Seventh Brother compare to me?" Ye Jinghe said sinisterly.
When he pretends to be pitiful, his expressions are much more expressive than Xiao Mutou's!
Sitting next to Yun Shu was Xie Chang'an, and he subconsciously hid behind Xie Chang'an.
Unfortunately, he was too big, and Xie Chang'an's small frame couldn't hide him. He could still feel Ye Jinghe's oppressive gaze.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingning glared at Ye Jinghe, wondering who his fifth brother looked down on.
"Looks like you don't want to play with the Luban lock, that's good. Then let's go to the Linfeng Opera House to watch a play." Ye Jingchen said, getting up.
"Yay! Let's go see the opera!" Ye Jingyu cheered.
"I want to play..." Ye Jingning said quickly.
But what are your thoughts?
He had absolutely no recollection of which shops he visited; the only thing he remembered was—
"The pastries are awful!" he said, frowning and full of disgust.

Lantern Festival Extra Chapter (Adult Version)
In Da Yuan, in addition to the traditional activities of appreciating lanterns, solving lantern riddles, setting off fireworks, dragon and lion dances, and eating glutinous rice balls, there is also the custom of "walking away illnesses" during the Lantern Festival.
People believe that going out on the Lantern Festival can drive away illness and evil spirits, so they will go in groups or visit temples and Taoist temples to pray for health and peace.
So on this day, Ye Jingchen, along with all his brothers and sisters and four companions, walked to the Huguo Temple in the imperial city to pray for blessings.
This day was the busiest day of the year at Huguo Temple, with throngs of worshippers and crowds of people. A group of people walked together for a while and then got separated.
Ye Jingchen really liked the smell of incense in the temple, and would walk towards the place with the strongest incense smell.
Beneath the century-old banyan tree, there is a huge incense burner filled with sandalwood incense sticks, its smoke swirling around it.
In front of the incense burner, many worshippers held incense and knelt in prayer.
The worshippers were devout, and when they knelt down to worship, they didn't care whether there were people in front of them or not. Even though Ye Jingchen's kung fu was quite good, he almost got knelt on by someone several times.
Ye Jingchen knew he couldn't be a god or Buddha, nor could he save all living beings. He didn't want to be worshipped, yet he really liked the scent of incense in this place. Just as he was hesitating, a banyan leaf drifted down towards him.
He looked up and immediately saw Xie Chang'an leaning against the branches of a banyan tree.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked around to the other side of the banyan tree. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he leaped up the tree.
Xie Chang'an reached out and pulled him aside, making room for Ye Jingchen to sit down, leaning against the branch.
"Do you know what you looked like just now?" Xie Chang'an whispered in his ear.
"What does it look like?" Ye Jingchen asked curiously.
"Like a deity who has stumbled into the human world in a daze, clearly attracted by the incense offerings of believers, yet unwilling to save them."
"Am I really that bad in your eyes?" Ye Jingchen was amused by his analogy and asked him with a smile.
"I won't save them, I'll only save myself."
