Faced with this powerful general who held a large army and great influence in the court, he took the initiative to show goodwill.
Ye Chen's expression remained calm. He also bowed in return with a gentle smile on his face.
"You're welcome, General."
"I'm Ye Chen, a casual person."
An idle person?
When Wei Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
With such demeanor, could he be a leisurely person?
However, he is also a smart guy.
Ye Chen was unwilling to reveal his identity and background, so he naturally would not ask any further questions.
As for experts, they always have some temper and mystery.
Wei Qi laughed, breaking the slightly strange atmosphere.
"It turned out to be Master Ye!"
"Young Master Ye is so young, yet he has such a dignified demeanor. He must be a man of great talent!"
"If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to have a drink with Master Ye and learn a thing or two from him!"
These words were spoken sincerely.
If you can make friends with such a person, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
"General, you are too kind."
"If there is a chance, Ye Chen will accompany you."
Ye Chen's smile remained unchanged, and he looked calm and composed.
"Ninth sister!"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from inside the palace gate.
Then, a figure wearing a brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns walked out.
He wore a jade crown, had a handsome face, and a natural nobility between his brows.
This person is none other than the current crown prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, Ruoxi's elder brother, Li Chengquan.
Li Chengquan's face was full of joy at seeing his relatives.
"Big Brother!"
When Ruoxi saw the person coming, she was also delighted and walked quickly to greet him.
"You're finally back! You've been out there these past few years, you must have suffered a lot, right?"
Li Chengquan walked up to Ruoxi, looked her up and down, his eyes full of concern.
"Royal brother, I'm fine." Ruoxi shook her head, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
Li Chengquan was the brother who loved her the most among all the princes.
Li Chengquan was extremely surprised to see his sister, who had been away from home for several years, return safely.
But then, the smile on his face faded and turned into a look of worry.
"Ninth sister, you shouldn't come back at this time!"
Li Chengquan sounded anxious.
"Brother, it was Father who summoned me back."
Ruoxi knew what her royal brother was worried about and explained softly.
"Is the Emperor summoning you?"
Li Chengquan's face showed anger.
"It's all that damn Huhanye's fault!"
He gritted his teeth and his face was distorted with anger.
"Deploy millions of troops on the border! Use this to pressure Father!"
"Father had no other choice but to ask you to come back and calm down that villain Huhanye!"
Li Chengquan clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
He felt angry and aggrieved at Huhanye's arrogance and his own powerlessness.
Ruoxi looked at her brother's angry and self-blaming expression, and her heart tightened. She quickly asked, "Brother, what is the situation in the palace now?"
"Is Huhanye still in the palace?"
When mentioning this, Li Chengquan's face was full of guilt.
He closed his eyes in pain, his voice a little hoarse: "What else can I do?"
"That Huhanye, relying on the millions of cavalrymen at the border, is now speaking arrogantly in the hall and pressing Father!"
"Father, for the sake of the Great Xia Empire and the people, can only endure it."
Li Chengquan punched the palace wall next to him, making a dull sound.
"As the crown prince, I can only watch my father suffer this humiliation!"
"I can't help my father with his worries and difficulties! I am truly unworthy of the position of Crown Prince!"
His voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness and self-blame.
"Brother, this is not your fault. It's Huhanye who has gone too far and is too crazy!"
Ruoxi looked at her brother's painful expression, stepped forward, took his arm and comforted him softly.
"no!"
"I'm going to the palace now to meet Huhanye!"
Li Chengquan shook off Ruoxi's hand, turned around and rushed into the palace gate.
"I want to see just how powerful Huhanye is! How dare he act so presumptuously in my Great Xia Palace!"
The majesty and anger belonging to the prince suddenly erupted!
"Please stay, Prince."
Ye Chen, who had been standing with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, called out to Li Chengquan in a calm voice.
Li Chengquan suddenly stopped and turned his head in surprise.
His eyes fell on Ye Chen.
Li Chengquan's pupils, like Wei Qi's before, also shrank suddenly.
What a graceful and elegant person, like a banished immortal.
He has a handsome face and a head full of white hair, but he doesn't look old at all, instead he looks more elegant.
He was just wearing a simple blue shirt and standing there casually.
But it has a majestic and detached aura.
This kind of temperament can never be possessed by the mortal world!
This person is definitely not simple!
He was so focused on talking to the imperial sister that he didn't notice there was someone following her.
As the crown prince, Li Chengquan's ability to judge people's hearts is naturally not weak.
"Who is this?"
Li Chengquan looked at Wei Qi with questions in his eyes.
"Royal brother, his name is Ye Chen, he is my recognized brother, and he has given me great help along the way."
Ruoxi stepped forward and introduced herself, her tone carrying a hint of intimacy.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengquan's gaze fell on Ye Chen again, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"It turns out to be Brother Ye. Thank you for taking care of me."
Li Chengquan bowed to Ye Chen with a sincere tone.
As the crown prince of Daxia and the future heir apparent, Li Chengquan took the initiative to lower his stance.
This is already a great respect for Ye Chen.
