Chapter 537: One Cup Down (Part 1)
Shen Yanchuan's jaw tap:
"I'm late."
His body was still wrapped in the coldness of the north wind, but as soon as he stepped into the door, he easily stirred up the natural warmth.
Ye Chutang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's never too late for you to come."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over Shen Yanchuan, a little curious: "You just came back?"
Looking exhausted.
Chen Yanchuan nodded: "I only found out you were looking for me when I arrived at the mansion, so I came here now."
Ye Chutang was slightly stunned.
In other words... Chen Yanchuan had just arrived at the mansion, and might not even have entered the gate, but turned around and came here?
So many things happened today, and there were undercurrents in the palace and the court. At such a critical moment, the things that Shen Yanchuan could do personally must be very important.
Ye Chutang didn't ask any more questions and immediately invited Shen Yanchuan to take his seat.
"Please take a seat, my lord."
Shen Yanchuan raised his hand to take off his cloak, and then handed over the black wooden box in his arms.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Chutang's eyes: "This is..."
"This is for you." Chen Yanchuan said.
As soon as he came in, Ye Chutang noticed that he was holding something in his arms, but she didn't expect it was a gift for her.
At such a tense time, he actually prepared a gift?
Ye Chutang stepped forward and took it with both hands.
"Thank you very much, then—eh?"
The moment my fingertips touched the wooden box, I felt an indescribable extreme chill, like ice and snow.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yanchuan.
Even if it came from outside, the wooden box seemed too cold.
"Prince, this..."
Chen Yanchuan glanced at Ye Jingyan and Xiao Wu's faces behind her, and then gently pressed the wooden box.
"Tomorrow is your birthday. It's just a small gift, please don't refuse it."
Ye Chutang understood it almost instantly.
——Chen Yanchuan didn’t want Ayan and Xiaowu to know what was inside.
Ye Chutang paused, then took the wooden box obediently and knelt in greeting.
"Thank you, Prince."
Then she put the wooden box aside.
As expected, Ayan and Xiaowu did not notice anything unusual.
This was not the first time that Chen Yanchuan had given her a gift, and each time he gave her a gift was very valuable, so it was okay for the two of them to stop interacting with each other.
Once everyone is present, the feast can naturally begin.
Chen Yanchuan glanced across the overly grand banquet and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Tonight's meal...
"I was assassinated earlier, thanks to the prince for helping me." Ye Chutang didn't say much and went straight to the point, "Chutang is very grateful."
Shen Yanchuan smiled and said, "It should be."
Ye Chutang now has a special status, and her safety is related to His Majesty, so she must be well protected.
Ye Jingyan suddenly stood up, raised his glass, and said seriously:
"Your Highness has saved my sister's life, and you have a great deal of gratitude towards the entire Ye family! I would like to thank you, Your Highness, on behalf of Afeng and Xiaowu!"
Apart from anything else, if Shen Yanchuan hadn't sent someone to protect her secretly this time, my sister might have been in real danger.
No one knew how distracted and cold he felt the moment he heard from the Imperial College that his sister had been assassinated.
Although he knew that Sister was always in control, although he knew that Sister was not so easily bullied, although he knew...
But how can I not worry?
They have already lost their father, mother and brother, and they cannot lose their sister again.
Xiaowu was confused and didn't understand anything. When he saw his third brother doing this, he immediately started to imitate him and raised the cup in front of him with his two little hands.
——Although her cup was filled with water, according to Fourth Brother, it is also a good idea to use tea instead of wine!
After Ye Jing finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
Chen Yanchuan looked at him, then curled his thin lips slightly, raised his hand and filled the cup, toasting him from a distance.
Xiaowu tilted his head back and did it.
Ye Chutang looked at Ye Jingyan hesitantly, "Hey——"
She was supposed to be the one to toast with this glass of wine, but this kid—
She looked at Shen Yanchuan again and saw that he had also finished drinking.
The crisp aroma of wine filled the entire room, igniting a sense of warmth.
Shen Yanchuan looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why, aren't you supposed to thank me? Why can't you even have a glass of wine?"
The moment just now was a silent confrontation between men.
Ye Jingyan had always been very wary of him before, so this glass of wine today was considered as his recognition.
Ye Chutang hesitated for a moment.
"That's not the case, it's just..."
Bang!
Ye Jingyan leaned on the table, his originally handsome and fair face was stained with red, and his eyes were a little dazed.
Ye Chutang sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
"Before I could say anything, he fell down after drinking one glass."
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
Xiao Wu was obviously used to this. He tugged at Ye Jingyan's sleeve deftly, allowing him to lie down in a more comfortable position.
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
Ye Chutang glanced at the food on the table which had hardly been touched and thought to himself what a pity.
This boy is really too naive. Why does he just drink and not eat any food?
Ye Chutang shook his head, "Come here, help the Third Young Master go back and rest."
The servants came quickly and took Ye Jingyan away.
Chen Yanchuan paused: "I didn't see it before."
Ye Jingyan looks gentle, but in fact he is very opinionated and methodical. He never expected that this guy would get himself drunk with just one glass of wine after they just met.
Looking at the loud and clear posture just now, I thought he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Ye Chutang thought about it and smiled: "Maybe he was particularly happy after receiving Ah Feng's letter today, so he didn't think too much about it."
After returning to Beijing, accidents happened frequently and dangers were everywhere. Although Ayan didn't say it, he must have been under tremendous pressure in his heart.
Afeng is a rough and unruly person who is difficult to discipline, and Xiaowu is still very young. Apart from Ye Chutang, Ayan is the one who takes care of everything in the family.
He has been a serious person since he was young, and today he is really happy and relaxed, which is why he is so rare.
Chen Yanchuan quickly understood what she meant and nodded: "It seems that Afeng has adapted well in Xiacheng."
Ye Chutang glanced at him, with only one thought in his mind - this man was indeed extremely perceptive.
She only said that one sentence, but he was able to guess all that.
But there is nothing to hide.
Ye Chutang tilted his head, with a smile on his lips: "Well, he is indeed suitable to go there."
There is no point in forcing him to study in the Imperial College. It is better to let him go and let him fly.
Xiaowu sat aside, eating his meal attentively.
——Third brother didn’t eat well, she must eat more for him! Never waste!
"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it."
Ye Chutang refilled Xiaowu's water to prevent her from choking.
Xiaowu's cheeks were puffed up and he looked up at her with a sweet smile.
Ye Chutang knew that she knew what was going on, so he didn't bother her anymore and looked at Shen Yanchuan again.
She paused for a moment, then spoke carefully:
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me, my Lord?"
So many things happened in the palace today, but he didn't ask a single question?
