Chapter 24: A transition



At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Han finally retired after completing his mission.

After leaving the Imperial Study, he headed straight for the Queen's bedroom. After all, since he was already here, it wouldn't be appropriate not to take a trip.

"The Empress, the Crown Princess, and Princess Rui are outside seeking an audience."

"Oh? Please come in." After giving the order, the Queen turned to the Crown Princess and said, "Yiyi, look, she's here just as I said she was." The Crown Princess' maiden name was Liu Yi, and the Queen would often call her Yiyi in private.

"Yes." The Crown Princess also had a smile on her face.

As soon as Ye Han entered, she saw the Queen and the Crown Princess happily sipping tea and chatting. There were some familiar fruits on the table. "The daughter-in-law greets the Queen Mother and the Empress."

"Get up quickly, come and sit down." The queen waved to Ye Han.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, and Imperial Sister-in-law." After paying her respects, Ye Han sat in the empty seat next to the Crown Princess.

"I was just talking about you with the Crown Princess, and I didn't expect you to come here. Are you done with your work?" The Queen knew that Ye Han had been summoned to the palace today. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she still knew about it.

"Thank you for your concern, Mother. I have finished all the work. What did Mother and the Empress Dowager talk about about their daughter-in-law?" Ye Han asked in a joking tone.

"Let's talk about it again. Today we have benefited from your sister-in-law's kindness and had a feast for our appetite." The Crown Princess interrupted with a smile.

"Yes, these fruits are indeed delicious, and it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to taste them."

"If the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager like it, I'll bring more for everyone next time." Ye Han also picked up a date and started chewing it. "By the way, Empress Dowager, your portion has been sent to your residence."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I was just thinking about how to ask mother for some money, but now it seems that there is no need."

"What's the matter? You can't finish it and you want to take it away! Fortunately, Princess Rui was thoughtful, otherwise I wouldn't have much left." The Queen laughed and scolded. Ye Han and the Crown Princess looked at each other and laughed too.

The atmosphere was pleasant as they ate and chatted. The Queen wasn't the type to give her daughter-in-law a hard time. The Crown Princess wasn't a pushover either, though, of course, only if there were no conflicts of interest. After all, neither the Queen nor the Crown Princess was a pushover. Ye Han was even more so. He was easy to get along with, so the group enjoyed a pleasant time together.

After chatting for a while, Ye Han felt that it was enough and said goodbye.

"Mother, sister-in-law, I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."

"Well, go ahead. Go slowly." The Queen also knew that Ye Han, as a new daughter-in-law, was busy at the time, so she didn't stay any longer and agreed.

"Then the daughter-in-law will take her leave."

"Go, go, come here more often when you have time." The queen smiled and waved her hand.

"good."

After Ye Han came out from the Queen, he asked a young eunuch to tell Yue Chengyu that he was going back first.

"Uncle Liu, let's go to the general's mansion." Ye Han said to the coachman.

"Okay, Princess, please sit down."

"Princess, why are you going to the general's mansion?" Zhihua asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, there's still time to take a stroll."

"Will this cause gossip?"

"No, don't worry."

Zhihua said nothing more and poured tea for Ye Han, placing it in front of him. Ye Han continued to look through the account book from last time.

"Princess, we're here."

"Okay, please wait for me here for a while, Uncle Liu."

"Hey! It's no trouble at all, this is all my responsibility."

Seeing his young lady, Xiao Si at the door quickly bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets Princess Rui."

"No need to be polite, are my parents here?"

"Master, the ladies are here."

"good."

When Ye Han heard that his parents were there, he took Zhihua and headed towards the yard. Halfway there, he bumped into his parents who were walking over with their group. They must have gotten the news. Seeing Ye Han, they were about to bow, but Ye Han stopped them.

"Mom and Dad, there are no outsiders here, how can a parent bow to their daughter?" Ye Han hugged her mother's arms and shook them.

"Why did you come back at this time, kid? Did you feel wronged?" General Ye and Mrs. Ye looked Ye Han up and down with concern. Seeing that Ye Han had a rosy face and was in a good mood, they felt relieved.

"Dad and Mom, I'm not wronged. I just came back from the palace and thought it was on my way, so I came back for a stroll!"

"You kid, who gets married and then goes back to their parents' home for a stroll? Be careful of gossip."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it. By the way, eat the fruit I sent you this afternoon. Peel the yellow fruit with the thorns and soak it in salt water before eating. When you're done, send someone to tell me and I'll send you more."

"You don't have to keep sending things here. What does our General's Mansion need? Living well is more important than anything else." Madam Ye had never seen any of those fruits before. She had only seen watermelons, which were so precious, especially in spring. She had never heard of eating watermelon in spring before. Madam Ye was afraid that her daughter would cause Prince Rui's displeasure if she kept sending such precious things here.

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, these have been discussed with Prince Rui. You can eat them without worrying about what is sent to you." As they spoke, they walked into the yard.

"Anyway, just be more careful. No one will give you any trouble in Prince Rui's Mansion."

"No, don't worry. Don't you know your daughter's personality? Who can embarrass me?"

"Well, that's right. Do you want to eat here?" Mrs. Ye was well aware of her daughter's abilities.

"I'm not eating here. I have a carriage waiting at the door. We'll leave soon."

. . . . . .

Ye Han chatted with his parents for a while. It was mainly Ye Han and Mrs. Ye who talked. General Ye occasionally interjected a few words, but he just acted as a listener most of the time.
