Chapter 27 Moving (First Update)
Now that his mother had taken the initiative to come to the capital to find him, Ye Jianshan quickly recounted what had happened to him during this time and tried to gain sympathy.
Ye Yun raised him, so she naturally knew his little thoughts: "Alright, Mother knows you've been wronged."
"Yes, my third uncle was also terrified."
After finishing his banter, Ye Jianshan briefly recounted the events of the past few months to his mother. Old Man Ye and Old Woman Ye were heartbroken after hearing it.
Ye Yan also said to Ye Lei, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Lei shook his head: "It wasn't hard work. I feel like I've grown. I even went to the palace with Da Shan and met the Empress Dowager and the others."
Ye Yun asked, "You even went into the palace?"
"Well, I'll ask the Emperor to give me some guidance on my exam questions, otherwise I won't feel confident."
Ye Jianshan explained.
"Nothing happened, right?"
"No, the carriage has already driven into the palace where the emperor lives."
Ye Lei shook his head; he hadn't even seen what the palace looked like.
Knowing they were alright, everyone was relieved.
Eunuch Wang has already prepared a carriage; they can simply go directly there.
Ye Jianshan and Ye Lei have lived here for several months without buying anything. They keep things as simple as possible. The Emperor and Empress have given them a lot of things, so they can leave these here and move them tomorrow.
Ye Jianshan is moving out. Before he leaves, he asked someone to pass on a message to the manager of Qingyang Guild Hall, to let them know, since it was he who found the house for him.
"Oh, and please take this calligraphy with you too."
The shopkeeper in Qingyang had previously asked him to write a piece of calligraphy that read "A Spring of Literary Inspiration." Now that he had passed the imperial examination with top honors, even though the shopkeeper hadn't said anything, he still wanted to express his gratitude.
The shopkeeper came to congratulate him today, but there were too many people and he didn't get a chance to talk to him properly.
Ye Jianshan wrote four large characters this time: "Guests feel at home," hoping that Qingyang Guild Hall can welcome more guests and prosper.
We also hope that there will be more candidates from Qingyang in the next session.
Upon arriving at the new residence, Ye Jianshan's lips twitched when he saw the three large characters "Crown Prince's Residence" next door. This wasn't just close; they were practically neighbors.
Old Man Ye got out of the car with his hands behind his back and said, "This gate is really impressive."
Old Man Ye originally came to support the child, but when he arrived, he found that he didn't need them at all.
Besides, that was the emperor's son, while he was just a butcher; what ability did he have to resist?
We decided to treat it as a trip for fun, and head back to the village after one visit.
"It's getting late. You must be tired from your journey. Please get some rest."
Ye Jianshan put his arm around each of them, and helped the old man and woman through the gate.
Upon entering, Ye Jianshan couldn't help but take a few more glances; this was a large courtyard with five courtyards.
It's much bigger than the one they built in Yejiacun.
Ye Yun knew that Ye Jianshan was going to the Crown Prince's residence tomorrow: "Go and rest quickly."
"Mother, is there any movement from the Crown Prince's residence?"
Although Ye Jianshan didn't go to the door, he still heard the sounds coming from there.
"The Crown Prince has sent someone over to help. Have you told your classmates about the move? Where should we meet tomorrow?"
Ye Yun took out the new clothes she brought from the package and arranged them for Ye Jianshan, placing them on the bedside table. They were all new clothes she had made in the past few months, suitable for wearing when going out to meet guests, and were all made of silk satin.
Ye Jianshan tilted his chin up and let his mother hold up the new clothes to him: "I've told Brother Luo, and he'll inform the others."
"That's good. I was worried the sleeves would be too long, but they're just right, they've grown taller."
After a few months apart, Ye Jianshan has grown taller again.
Ye Jianshan touched his chin: "I've not only grown taller, but I've also gained some weight."
The imperial cuisine sent from the palace was so delicious that Ye Jianshan couldn't stop eating.
Ye Yun agreed: "You're only sixteen, eat more."
"I understand. The Crown Prince will probably invite us to stay for a banquet tomorrow. Is there a cook in this residence?"
Ye Jianshan was a little worried about the Ye family's meals.
"Don't think too much about it. Since the Emperor has already given us the land deeds, everything must be ready. I just took a look, and they all came from the palace."
They are either the emperor or the empress.
Ye Yun knew the Emperor quite well. He was suspicious and believed in trusting those he didn't trust. He trusted the people the Emperor sent.
No matter what, the Emperor would never harm Ye Jianshan; Ye Jianshan is his own grandson.
Not to mention that they were arranged to live right next to the Crown Prince's residence, where the Imperial Guards were stationed and unauthorized personnel could not enter or leave at will.
"That's good."
Ye Jianshan was relieved after hearing this.
"Mom, if you're unhappy, we'll go back."
Ye Jianshan's previous words were all for the Emperor and the Crown Prince's ears. If his mother was really unhappy, Ye Jianshan was willing to accompany her back to Ye Family Village.
It might sound a bit willful to say that, but he didn't want his mother to be unhappy.
“What are you thinking? Mother is very happy. You know Mother’s temper. Mother says what she wants. You are very promising. You are Mother’s strength. Mother is not afraid or unhappy. I didn’t go back to the capital before because I was too lazy to move.”
She doesn't like traveling, and she even fell ill on the way back to Beijing this time.
Ye Jianshan hugged Ye Yun like he did when they were children: "Okay, but you must tell me if anything happens. You can't keep things from me like this time. I'm not a child anymore, I'm sixteen."
Some people are already married by the time they're sixteen.
He has grown up.
"Mother knows that you have grown up and have become my support."
Ye Yun touched Ye Jianshan's face, feeling somewhat emotional; sixteen years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Time flies.
She felt a little uneasy on her way back to Beijing, but once she stepped into the capital, she felt completely calm.
Since things have come to this, let's face it. Besides, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
After a heart-to-heart talk between mother and son, Ye Yun left Ye Jianshan's courtyard to deal with the Crown Prince who had come to his door.
Ye Lei and Ye Yan were keeping the Crown Prince company. The two elderly people, Old Lady Ye and Old Man Ye, had finished their meal and were resting, so they didn't call them.
As soon as Ye Yun arrived, the Crown Prince, who had been talking to his brothers-in-law, immediately stood up to greet her. Before he could speak, Ye Yun saw him off, saying, "It's getting late, Your Highness, you should go back now. Da Shan will be visiting tomorrow. I hope Your Highness will forgive any inconvenience caused."
"Yun'er..."
He wanted to talk to Ye Yun, but Ye Yun clearly didn't want to talk to him.
"Brother, see the guest out."
Ye Yun gestured with his chin toward Ye Yan.
Ye Yan stood up and gestured for him to proceed.
The Crown Prince didn't come here simply to talk to Ye Yan and Ye Lei; he wanted to see Ye Yun and her son more. Since Ye Yun didn't want to talk to him, he went to see his son instead.
"Where is Shan'er staying? Is he settled in? I'll go check on him."
The Crown Prince asked.
Ye Yun frowned: "Dashan has already rested. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Ye Yun left.
I don't want to waste any more words arguing with him.
Ye Yan and Ye Lei: ...
This girl is really not polite; after all, he's the Crown Prince.
To everyone's surprise, the Crown Prince had a good temper and didn't get angry at all.
After leaving Fourteenth Street, the Crown Prince did not return to the palace or the Crown Prince's residence immediately, but went to see Guo Yu.
Guo Yu was very excited to learn that the Crown Princess had arrived. He thought they were going to Qingyang, but he didn't expect that the Crown Princess had taken the initiative to return to the capital.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
Guo Yu was overjoyed.
The Crown Prince suppressed a smile: "It is a great joy, but she now treats me like a stranger."
"But at least we're back in Beijing."
Guo Yu felt that being able to return to Beijing was a good sign.
"That's true. Tomorrow, Shan'er and the others will go to the Crown Prince's residence to thank the chief examiner. Some imperial guards will be sent to protect Shan'er's safety at the banquet."
The Crown Prince now wished he could carry Ye Yun and Ye Jianshan with him, as he always felt that someone in the capital wanted to harm them.
Guo Yu took this matter to heart: "Your Highness, rest assured, your men will protect Ye Huiyuan's safety with their lives."
"Oh, by the way, your son is eighteen this year, right?"
Guo Yu was about the same age as the Crown Prince, but she got married two years earlier than him.
"Guo Yi is eighteen years old and is still training at the West Camp."
Guo Yu gave a brief explanation.
The Crown Prince nodded: "I see. Tell me how you usually get along with him, so I can take a look."
Guo Yu froze, then scratched his head: "The methods my subordinates use aren't suitable for you and Ye Huiyuan. I always take action against Guo Yi."
Crown Prince: ...
"That's definitely not appropriate."
Seeing that he was useless, the crown prince stood up and left without any hesitation.
Guo Yu: "...Your Highness, please take care."
On his way back to the Crown Prince's residence, he saw that the place was quite lively. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the address of the residence bestowed by the Emperor by the Emperor, which Eunuch Wang had mentioned, was actually the one next to the Crown Prince's residence.
This courtyard belongs to him. No wonder his father asked him for the land deed before; it turns out he had it prepared long ago.
Okay, that's great.
Being close to the water tower gives one the first taste of the moon; the Crown Princess and her son only feel at ease when they are under his watchful eye.
The plaque has been hung up, with two large characters that read "Ye Mansion".
So the Crown Prince ordered his men to stop right in front of the Ye residence.
They didn't even go back to the Crown Prince's residence, but went straight to the Ye residence: "Go and help with the move, be careful."
After making the arrangements, the Crown Prince stared at Ye Lei and Ye Yan in bewilderment.
Ye Yun had no intention of coming out to see him, and not only that, he also didn't see his son. He shamelessly lingered until the end and finally managed to see Ye Yun once.
He was satisfied once he saw the person, and returned to the Crown Prince's residence to begin reviewing the program for tomorrow's thank-you banquet.
As the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination, all those who passed the examination should have been his students.
But he didn't want to hear Ye Jianshan call him "Dad," he only wanted to hear him call him that.
Everyone who knew about Ye Jianshan's move knew about it, since there had been a lot of people coming to watch the spectacle. Today was a joyous day, and everyone was happy, hoping to see what Ye Huiyuan looked like. Although they had never seen the Crown Prince, they all said that Ye Huiyuan looked like him. Seeing Ye Huiyuan would be the same as seeing the Crown Prince, wouldn't it?
I never expected that halfway through joining in the fun, I would discover that Ye Huiyuan was planning to move.
When they found out where they were moving to, they were all surprised. They never expected that the five-courtyard house next to the Crown Prince's residence was reserved for Ye Huiyuan.
This must be the crown prince's biological son, no doubt. The question is, when will it be officially announced?
I really want to see these two identical faces together.
How can people look exactly alike? It's amazing, truly amazing.
At the palace, the Emperor and Empress were relieved to hear that Ye Jianshan and his family had moved, as long as they accepted their belongings.
The Emperor said smugly to the Empress, "Zhen'er, you didn't go today. You have no idea how ambitious our grandson is."
The Emperor recounted their conversation to the Empress, whose eyes grew brighter with each listen.
"It's time to settle the matter of the Crown Prince's position."
The Empress spoke directly.
It belongs to their mountain, and no one can take it from them.
The Emperor said, "Let's take it one step at a time. At the very least, we should wait until after the palace examination."
The Empress nodded; she thought so too.
No rush.

—[Pre-order] "After Becoming the Top Scholar, I Discovered I Was the Emperor's Brother-in-Law"
After years of diligent study, Ji Yanxing finally went to Beijing at the age of eighteen.
He was the youngest son of the Ji landlord family. His father was fifty years old when his eighteen-year-old mother gave birth to him, finally leaving an heir for the Ji family.
But the old man passed away before he grew up. Fortunately, the Ji family was wealthy and could afford to support his studies and ensure he had enough to eat and wear.
He lived up to expectations, becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination at the age of eighteen, and then discovered during the palace examination that the emperor treated him differently.
"As expected of my nephew, you are my uncle! You really are my little uncle!"
Ji Yanxing: ??? How are we alike?
So he also has an older sister who is the Empress Dowager, and the emperor sitting on the dragon throne who is seven years older than him is his nephew.
Good heavens, then he'll be able to do whatever he wants in the capital.
Tremble, corrupt officials! The righteous young imperial uncle is online protecting his son!
