Yue Chengyu brushed his teeth after dinner and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed. Ye Han, on the other hand, didn't feel sleepy at all because he had enough sleep yesterday and took a short nap at noon.
I lay on the bed with headphones on and browsed my phone for a while.
The next day, when Yue Chengyu woke up, he looked at the watch. It was ten minutes to twelve. Yue Chengyu got up without hesitation.
When he arrived at the living room, he saw Ye Han reading the account book on the sofa. He walked over and hugged Ye Han from the side, rubbing his chin against Ye Han.
"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it." Ye Han asked without changing his expression in response to Yue Chengyu's actions.
Ye Han had discovered a long time ago that Yue Chengyu really liked hugs. Fortunately, she didn't mind it and even felt good about it.
"Shrimp and crab."
"There's no place to find seafood in the palace at this time. Should we eat something else or go to a modern restaurant? Or order takeout, but you might have to wait a while. Hmm?"
Ye Han put down the account book in his hand and turned to look at Yue Chengyu.
Yue Chengyu felt how hungry he was and said, "Then let's eat something at the palace."
Ye Han looked at Yue Chengyu, who looked a little depressed, and put his whole palm on Yue Chengyu's face and rubbed it. "What do you want to eat?"
"fish."
"Okay, go wash up first."
The efficiency of the palace was quite fast. Not long after Yue Chengyu came out of the shower, the food was served.
They were not extravagant when it came to meals; just enough was enough for the two of them: one meat dish, one vegetable dish, one cold dish, and a soup.
With Ye Han's help, the food was nutritionally balanced. Plus, the chef at Wangfu was very precise with the portion control, so the two of them could finish it just right.
After dinner, Ye Han and Yue Chengyu went straight to the palace.
In the Queen's bedroom, the Queen and the Crown Princess were chatting when they heard the servant's report.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Crown Princess, Prince Rui and Princess Rui are requesting an audience outside the palace."
After hearing this, the Queen asked again in disbelief, "Who are you talking about? Prince Rui?"
"Yes."
"Please come in." The queen's voice became more excited.
"Your son/daughter-in-law pays homage to the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager."
"Get up and sit here."
The queen was very happy to see her son back in good health. Since Yue Chengyu went to the battlefield, the queen had never let go of her worries.
Although she knew that this was his responsibility as a prince, he was her own son after all. As a mother, it was impossible not to worry.
The queen looked Yue Chengyu up and down and found that he was darker and stronger, but it didn't matter.
"Just come back safely! Just come back safely! You are such a jerk, coming back early without even saying hello."
"Didn't the Emperor tell you? I'm sure he would have gotten the news the moment I entered the city gate."
"How could he have the time to tell me this? Your father is so eager to stay in his study now."
Ever since Dai Viet successfully conquered Beichen and Lingjiang, the imperial court had been extremely busy. After the battle, the finishing work in the two places would take two or three years to complete.
The emperor and the crown prince even wished they could divide the day into twenty-four hours, and during this time they basically ate and lived in the study.
Yue Chengyu shut up tactfully after hearing that. It was better for him to keep his mouth shut about matters between his parents.
The Queen said it casually without dwelling on it too much, and quickly changed the subject, "You guys eat here tonight, let's just treat it as a reunion dinner."
"Um."
Yue Chengyu stayed in the queen's bedroom for a while, then got up and went to the imperial study.
The emperor and the crown prince, who were working hard in the imperial study, were also very excited when they heard Yue Chengyu coming. Although they did not look up, it could be heard from their voices.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
"Well, stay calm. These past two years have been pretty good."
"Fortunately, isn't this person here safe and sound?"
"Well, sit down."
"Your princess and you have performed a great service this time. What reward do you want?"
"holiday."
"What did you say?"
"We have discussed that we will go on a road trip for a while after the army returns and attends the celebration banquet, so I hope that the emperor will approve it."
On the one hand, Yue Chengyu's request was indeed about driving by himself, but even if Ye Han didn't mention it, Yue Chengyu also planned to retreat while the going was good.
Because of this time on the front line, Yue Chengyu's prestige in the army has reached an unprecedented high. As a prince, it is not a good thing for him to be too involved in military power.
It just so happened that Ye Han's proposal gave Yue Chengyu a ready-made reason. As to whether Ye Han's request was intentional or unintentional, only Ye Han himself knew.
When the emperor heard this request, he didn't know whether to agree or refuse. Rationally, the emperor felt that this arrangement was undoubtedly the best.
However, emotionally he always felt a little sorry for his son. It was not right to demolish the bridge just after crossing the river.
"It's decided."
"Yes, the route has almost been chosen."
"There are so many things to do."
"I believe that my father, my brother, and the officials of Dai Viet can handle it. Besides, I have been separated from the princess for two years. It is not too much to go out and have fun together."
Yue Chengyu spoke so sincerely, as if he was determined to retire. The emperor suddenly wondered if he had been overthinking it.
Is it possible that his son simply doesn't want to work, not for political purposes?
The emperor was helpless. "Okay, I will grant you leave."
"Thank you, Father."
If Yue Chengyu knew about the emperor's suspicion, he would definitely say that it was all true. It was true that he had political motives, and it was also true that he wanted to go on a trip with his princess.
