Chapter 145 Encountering an Acquaintance



Well?

Upon hearing this, the woman paused slightly, then looked more closely.

"Huh? That seems to be true!"

"So, I advise you not to meddle..."

"wrong…"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"She was wearing a veil... a veil... Could it be... could it be that she... she is..."

"Who is she?"

"Have you heard about the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet a few days ago?"

"The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"

"kindness!"

What happened to the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?

"Yeah! What happened? Everything was fine. I haven't heard anything about it. What happened?"

“That’s right! I remember my dad came back in high spirits that day.”

“That’s right, my father was also completely drunk. My mother said that it took some of his colleagues to take him home.”

"Do you remember that crazy, foolish girl from the Duke's mansion?"

"The Duke's Mansion? How come she's being dragged into this again?"

"That's right, she's now the Princess Consort of Han, how dare you gossip about her?"

"Tch, what Princess Han? She's just a discarded woman thrown into the Cold Courtyard by the Seventh Prince."

“That’s right. Haven’t you noticed? Ever since she entered the Han Prince’s mansion, she hasn’t been seen anywhere in the capital.”

"Hehe! You're all wrong about that. What I was talking about earlier, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, was about her."

"You mean her?"

"That's right. I heard that on that day, Princess Han entered the palace wearing a veil to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials."

"What do you mean, entering the palace wearing a veil to meet the Emperor and Empress Dowager?"

"That's right."

"This Princess Han is really insane; I'm afraid her head is about to be ripped off, isn't it?"

"Exactly, so lacking in manners, no wonder he's a fool."

"That's right, no wonder she was taken by the Seventh Prince... Wait a minute! Wasn't she abandoned in the Cold Courtyard? How did she end up in the palace? Did the Seventh Prince release her?"

"No, we're all wrong. All the rumors about Princess Han in the capital are false."

Did you know? I heard that the Emperor and Empress Dowager not only didn't blame her that day, but were actually quite pleased with her.

"No way? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No, you might not know why Princess Han was wearing a veil, right?"

Why?

"It is said that she is incredibly beautiful."

"How could that be? Everyone in the capital knows that she's ugly."

"Exactly, you're probably talking nonsense, aren't you?"

"That's right, stunningly beautiful? If you said she was the Crown Prince's concubine, we might believe you, but you said she was the Princess Consort of Han? That's utter nonsense."

"That's it... it's over, it's over, don't listen to her nonsense."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore disdainful expressions and dispersed in disbelief.

"Hey...you guys..."

The woman became somewhat angry when she saw that none of the women surrounding her believed her.

However, at this time...

Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wen Ning also arrived at the banquet area.

Of course, Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wen Ning had heard the discussions that had just taken place.

Princess Wenning intended to stop them from talking nonsense, but Ye Qingcheng stopped her.

As the two men approached, their first glance was directed at the woman.

The woman met their eyes and, for some reason, suddenly felt a pang of panic.

The other noble ladies also turned to look at the two of them upon their arrival.

But here...

Ye Qingcheng only glanced at the woman before ignoring her and scanning her surroundings with her beautiful eyes.

On the right, there was a pavilion where only two women were sitting, enjoying the chrysanthemums in the area.

She looked at one of the women, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Princess Wenning, seeing this, asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Qingcheng?"

Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "No, it's just that the woman looked a little familiar."

"look familiar?"

"kindness!"

"You know him?"

"I probably don't recognize him! He just looks vaguely familiar."

"How about we go over there?"

After listening, Ye Qingcheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

After they finished speaking, the two ignored everyone else and walked towards the pavilion.

This way.

The two women in the pavilion seemed to have sensed Ye Qingcheng and her companion's gazes.

They all turned to look and saw Ye Qingcheng and the other person coming towards them.

At this moment.

One of the women, after staring at Ye Qingcheng for a while, suddenly stood up, her brows furrowing, as if she had thought of something.

"Hmm? Madam Jiang, what's wrong?"

Another woman, seeing the woman suddenly stand up, asked with a puzzled look.

The woman frowned: "Madam Wang, do you know that woman?"

"Which one?"

"It's the one wearing the veil."

"Wearing a veil?"

"kindness!"

"I don't recall ever seeing him before. What's wrong?"

"It looks kind of familiar."

"look familiar?"

"Yes, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it."

"Have you seen him before? Could it be that you bumped into him somewhere by chance?"

"No, judging from her beautiful figure, I always feel a sense of familiarity with her."

"I can't say for sure, maybe we met at some banquet!"

"That's not right either. If we met at a banquet, then you should have met us by now, since we always go to and from banquets together."

"Hmm? That seems to be true! And who is this woman?"

"I don't know, never mind, let's ask her when she comes over!"

"kindness!"

Just moments after they finished speaking.

Ye Qingcheng and Princess Wenning also arrived at the pavilion.

At this moment.

When Madam Jiang met Ye Qingcheng's eyes, she trembled and quickly walked to Ye Qingcheng's side.

"May I ask if your surname is Ye, young lady?"

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

"You...you...you are Doctor Ye?"

Doctor Ye?

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "You are..."

"Dr. Ye, I never expected to run into you here. No wonder you looked so familiar."

After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng asked in confusion, "Not Madam, then?"

"Dr. Ye, have you forgotten? Just two days ago, I came to see you for treatment."

Huh? A couple of days ago?

Ye Qingcheng paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered.

"Oh! Could it be that you are the lady who had an allergic reaction the other day due to eating the wrong food?"

"That's right, it's me."

After confirming, Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I see. No wonder you looked familiar to me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang laughed out loud: "I also felt that you looked familiar, but I couldn't immediately connect you with Doctor Ye. If you hadn't come closer and I hadn't seen the resemblance between your eyebrows and Doctor Ye's, I wouldn't have dared to ask."

Ye Qingcheng smiled after hearing this, but did not reply.

"By the way, Dr. Ye, do you also have a connection with the Princess?"
