The Crown Prince was pressed for time and overwhelmed with work. After returning home, he spent nearly the entire night reading "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature." Of course, the aftermath left him sitting in his study for a long time, lost in thought. It wasn't exhaustion; he was simply overwhelmed by the book. This book alone was enough to elevate Dai Viet to new heights. As the crown prince, the Crown Prince was brimming with excitement.
After the morning court session, the prince followed Yue Chengyu to the Prince Rui's Palace with the gifts prepared by his own princess.
"Princess, the prince asks you to go to the front hall." Ye Han was currently in the construction yard communicating with the workers about the drawings.
The emperor had been busy these past two days, and neither had Ye Han. The blueprints mailed by the design company arrived the next morning, and the construction team was quickly assembled. While the necessary building materials weren't yet fully stocked, they weren't hindering construction at the moment. Ye Han had already placed orders for the materials he needed to purchase in modern times, and the fastest ones had already been delivered. So today was the first day of work.
However, when it comes to shopping, Ye Han said that he didn't want to go to Taobao again within a month. In the past two days, Ye Han almost stayed on Taobao, from doing homework to comparing prices from three stores. It took him one day, one night and half a day to finally buy everything. Ye Han said that he was really tired of shopping.
Ahem, back to the topic, when the housekeeper came, Ye Han was explaining the blueprints to the construction team leader. Although it was the first time the team leader had seen such blueprints, he had to admire the wisdom of the ancients. With their rich experience, they understood the key points on the blueprints at once.
It took Ye Han nearly a month of communication with the design company to get the drawings clear, but it only took Ye Han and the team leader an hour for the team leader to understand the key points of the drawings.
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Ye Han raised his head from the drawing and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After that, he turned to the team leader and said, "We have almost communicated the key points. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
"Yes, Princess."
Ye Han nodded, turned around and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go to the front hall."
On the way, Ye Han communicated with the housekeeper while walking.
"Uncle Wu, we need to hurry up with the lumber issue. Once construction begins, things will go much faster. We should try not to leave people waiting for materials."
"Don't worry, Princess. I'll go and urge them later."
"Also, please keep an eye on the construction work in this courtyard." Ye Han and the butler chatted as they walked. Ye Han was quite polite to Butler Wu. After all, Butler Wu was Yue Chengyu's personal servant, having served him since childhood and having been Yue Chengyu's butler for many years. He still had to be polite.
"It's not a big deal. This is what I'm supposed to do." Butler Wu knew the princess was very polite to her servants, but the master's courtesy was the master's courtesy, and he still had to grasp his own status. Butler Wu was one of those people who always remembered his status. He was capable and knew his position well. So it was not without reason that he was so valued.
. . . . . .
The two of them walked and talked all the way, and when they reached the front hall door, Ye Han and Butler Wu had finalized some details. This time was really used to the utmost.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When Ye Han entered the room and saw the Crown Prince drinking tea, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and walked forward to pay her respects.
"Haha, sister-in-law, you are too polite. We are all family. Please sit down." The prince put down the teacup in his hand when Ye Han came in. He was in a good mood and laughed twice.
As soon as the prince finished speaking, Yue Chengyu had already pulled out a chair next to him and said, "Princess, please sit here."
"Okay." Ye Han didn't hesitate, walked to Yue Chengyu's side, and sat on the chair that had been pulled out.
"Sister-in-law, this is a small gift to thank you for the fruit you sent to the Prince's Mansion last time. Your sister-in-law repeatedly instructed me to deliver it to you personally. And also to convey her gratitude. I have completed my mission." The prince said as he handed an exquisite little box to Ye Han.
Ye Han took the box and put it aside. "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It's just some fruit. You even bothered to pick a gift specially for me. But, Your Highness, why do I feel like you are deliberately showing off your affection?" Ye Han joked half-jokingly.
"Hahahaha, don't slander me, it's not true. And that fruit may be just a little fruit to you, but it's a treasure to us. Your sister-in-law and that kid Yan Yu love it very much."
"Oh? Since the Empress Dowager and Yan Yu like it, then it's the right gift. When you're done eating, tell me and I'll have someone send it to you."
Yan Yu's real name is Yue Yan Yu. He is the eldest son of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and is being trained as the successor. He is five years old this year. Ye Han has met him twice. He is a very cute little guy.
"That's so embarrassing. I'll tell Chengyu after we finish eating." The prince had a smile on his face and said he was embarrassed, but he didn't mean "embarrassment" at all.
Hearing this, Ye Han relied on his experience of acting in ancient plays for more than ten years to remain calm. He complained in his heart, "You are so embarrassed."
Yue Chengyu wasn't so polite and rolled his eyes at his brother. The Crown Prince turned his head away, pretending not to notice. Just kidding, as the Crown Prince, being thick-skinned is one of his basic skills, okay?!
"Your Highness, you are so busy with your daily affairs. You wouldn't be here to chat at Prince Rui's Mansion, right?" Ye Han cleverly changed the subject.
"As expected of my sister-in-law, you are so smart." The prince gave Ye Han a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration for Ye Han.
"Princess Rui is truly exceptionally intelligent and clever. Fortunately, she is not my enemy." This was what the prince was thinking at the moment.
