Upon hearing this, Qinglian and Ningxin immediately became anxious: "This won't do, Your Highness. The Prince has instructed us to stay by your side at all times. How can we leave you behind and return to the manor on our own?"
"Yes! Your Highness, what if you encounter danger? Besides, if we go back like this, the Prince will definitely punish us."
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I am in the princess's residence, so I don't think there will be any danger."
If you don't go back first, won't you have to wait here all day?
I can't bear to leave you here, waiting in vain without a drop of water.
"Go back! Don't worry, I'll be fine. Once you're back, explain everything to Qin Mohan, and I'm sure he won't blame you."
Qinglian and Ningxin were both deeply moved after hearing this.
Even Princess Wenning gained a deeper understanding of Ye Qingcheng.
She hadn't expected that Ye Qingcheng was not only kind to the servants, but also so considerate of them.
Qinglian and Ningxin were also surprised that she would follow such a good master.
How could they possibly abandon such a good master and leave on their own?
They shook their heads: "No, Your Highness, we must go with you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Alas! I know you are loyal, but as you have seen, the Princess has ordered that you not be brought along."
"Then we servants will wait for you outside."
“That’s right, Your Highness, you don’t need to worry about us.”
"But...if you spend the whole day like this, you..."
"It's alright, Your Highness, we can wait."
After Qinglian finished speaking, Ningxin nodded in agreement: "Mhm!"
Seeing their reaction, Ye Qingcheng realized there was no point in saying more, so she sighed and said, "Well... alright! But if you find this boring, you can leave on your own. You don't need to wait here for nothing."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Okay, Ning Xue, let's go in!"
"kindness!"
Princess Wenning then gave an instruction to her maid.
The two then stepped into the princess's residence.
"Princess Han and Princess Wenning have arrived."
As the two women entered, a guard outside shouted into the mansion.
Two servants who were greeting guests outside heard the shouts and saw Ye Qingcheng and her companion enter, so they came forward to greet them.
"Greetings, Princess Han, Princess Wenning."
"Um!"
Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wen Ning nodded in response to the two servants.
"Gentlemen, masters, please follow me."
"good."
Then.
Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wen Ning were greeted by a servant and led to the banquet hall.
However, just as they reached a stone bridge, the servant pointed it out to Ye Qingcheng and her companion.
"My lords, once you cross this stone bridge, you will reach the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Please proceed on your own. I will take my leave now."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Ye Qingcheng spoke very politely to the servant.
The servant, flattered, nodded and withdrew.
Immediately afterwards.
Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wen Ning then climbed the steps onto the stone bridge.
The two were walking.
Ye Qingcheng asked, "Ning Xue, have you ever been to the Princess's residence?"
Princess Wenning shook her head: "No, how could I possibly have the honor of meeting the Eldest Princess?"
"Huh? Aren't you a princess too?"
"Don't make fun of me. My title of princess is just an empty name. Without the achievements of our Wen family and my father's bloody battles, I wouldn't have been granted this title."
Moreover, with this title, my life is no longer just about me, nor is it solely about the Wen family making the decisions.
Ye Qingcheng was puzzled after hearing this: "Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Being given the title of princess means that in the future, I might be sent to another country for a political marriage in place of the royal family."
"A marriage alliance?"
"kindness!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng stopped in her tracks, frowned, and shook her head: "Ning Xue, I think you're overthinking it! Your Wen family army is so powerful, stationed in the south."
The south is a prosperous region, the land of silk; no matter what, the Emperor would never allow you to go there for a political marriage.
Princess Wenning shook her head and sighed after hearing this: "Ah! I hope so!"
Ye Qingcheng noticed that her expression had darkened.
He sighed; life was truly difficult for women in ancient times.
However, she still comforted you, saying, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will find a way to help you avoid marrying someone from another family."
Princess Wenning chuckled self-deprecatingly: "The Emperor's decree is not something that can be easily changed. Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, this is just my father's guess."
"kindness!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded.
The two then continued walking up the steps.
When the two reached the top of the bridge, they looked down.
The banquet area was an open space set up among chrysanthemums.
At that moment, many noble ladies from official families had already arrived at that place.
Some people gathered together, talking about something, while others wandered among the chrysanthemums, admiring the various autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom. Still others looked at the chrysanthemum trees and exchanged couplets with each other, creating quite a lively scene.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the large group of noble ladies and was quite surprised: "Ning Xue, did the Princess invite all the noble ladies in the capital? There are so many people here."
Princess Wenning glanced at the banquet hall and smiled, "I suppose so! Let's go down!"
"good."
Immediately afterwards.
