The maid ran over in a hurry, quite surprised: "Second Miss, you said you want to prepare a banquet?"
But isn’t the second young lady’s birthday tomorrow?
Ye Chutang nodded.
"Family dinner - oh no, there are guests coming."
Of course you have to be sincere when you say thank you.
…
"She wants to see the master?"
Yun Cheng rarely showed a look of surprise on his face, and secretly felt happy for his master. He couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Miss Ye Er really said that?"
Lu Yu just looked at him coldly.
Yun Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, don't be angry. I'm not doubting your business ability. I'm just too surprised."
It has always been the master who takes the initiative to see Miss Ye Er. Have you ever seen Miss Ye Er take the initiative to see the master?
Even when the wine was delivered, Second Miss Ye sent someone to come on her behalf, and she didn't even step into the gate of Marquis Dingbei's Mansion.
This is really rare today.
After being happy, Yun Cheng became a little worried: "But the master is not in the house right now, and it is estimated that he will not be back for a while. What should I do?"
Lu Yu had not expected this and was stunned: "Master is out?"
But when he came to deliver his testimony this morning, he was still there.
"Yes. There is an important matter, and the master went to do it personally." Yun Cheng thought for a moment, and felt that such an opportunity really could not be missed, so he said, "Well, you go back first and tell Miss Ye Er that the master may be late, but will definitely come, so please rest assured."
Lu Yu was skeptical: "Really?"
There was quite a bustle in the palace today. Under such circumstances, the master did not enter the palace. It is easy to imagine that the matter he personally went to handle must be more important than all these.
Can it be completed within that day?
Yun Cheng had already thought about it in his mind, and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, my words count. The master will definitely come to visit today, so you can just go and report to Miss Ye Er."
Although Lu Yu was a little uncertain in his heart, after hearing what he said, he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and disappeared again.
"Tsk, you left so quickly. Someone who didn't know would think that the Ye Mansion was your main home."
Yun Cheng smiled and shook his head, then looked up at the sky.
Judging from the time, the master should be on his way back, right?
…
Time passed slowly, and the sun silently fell into the thick clouds, extinguishing the last rays of light.
The octagonal lanterns under the eaves lit up one by one, illuminating the deep darkness.
Yun Cheng put down the pen in his hand and looked outside again.
After waiting for so long, even he became a little uncertain whether his master could come back in time.
If it drags on any longer, Miss Ye Er will...
Suddenly, a burst of rapid and powerful horse hoof sounds came from outside.
Yun Cheng was delighted and immediately stood up to greet him.
Outside the gate, Shen Yanchuan, who had been missing for almost a day, returned on horseback.
He pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse raised its hooves and stopped quickly.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Shen Yanchuan turned over and dismounted with clean and quick movements. His black cloak passed through the darkness, causing slight ripples in the cold wind, and then floated down again.
When he walked forward, Yun Chengcai saw in the candlelight that he seemed to be holding something in his arms.
It seems to be... a black wooden box.
Yun Cheng was stunned for a moment. The master went out today just for this thing?
Shen Yanchuan was about to go in when he saw Yun Cheng's expression: "Is there something wrong?"
Yun Cheng came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "There is something I need to tell you."
He clenched his fist and coughed, then took a step forward and said, "Miss Ye Er, please come over today."
As expected, Shen Yanchuan paused.
"She invited me to go? Why?"
Yun Cheng summarized Lu Yu's words:
"She probably wants to see you."
Shen Yanchuan's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
Yun Cheng reminded again in a low voice: "Master, it's getting late. If you go there now, you should still be in time."
Shen Yanchuan tightened his fingers slightly.
He lowered his head to look at the wooden box in his arms, then turned around and mounted his horse again.
Yun Cheng paused, and stretched out his hand: "Master, if you go, it will be inconvenient to carry this thing, or--"
"This was originally meant for her." Shen Yanchuan said.
Yun Cheng became more and more surprised.
Is this for Miss Ye Er? What could that thing be that made the master run around like this today?
But this was not the right question to ask at this time. Yun Cheng responded and stepped back tactfully.
Chen Yanchuan grabbed the reins and turned towards the direction of Ye Mansion.
"drive!"
…
Ye Mansion.
The front hall was brightly lit with candles, and the room was hot.
The aroma of the food wafts through the air, making your mouth water.
Xiaowu looked eagerly at the sumptuous dinner on the table and swallowed.
A Yan was sitting on the other side, reading A Feng's letter.
——He has watched this for who knows how many times.
Ye Chutang turned his head and glanced at him: "I'm afraid you have memorized that letter, why are you still reading it?"
Ye Jingyan said seriously: "Afeng's handwriting has improved a lot compared to before."
Ye Chutang was silent for a moment: "How did you figure that out?"
Ye Jingyan picked up the letter paper: "I taught him cursive writing before."
Ye Chutang: “…”
She looked outside.
Ye Jingyan finally put the letter away, followed her line of sight and looked outside, hesitantly asking, "Sister, do you think the prince will come tonight?"
He had just returned from the Imperial College and saw people in the mansion busying around. After asking, he found out that his elder sister was actually going to host a banquet for Shen Yanchuan today.
It's my duty to say thank you, and such preparations are quite good. However, it's already dark, and I've been waiting for a long time, but the person still hasn't come.
Ye Chutang shook his head: "He will come."
Since Lu Yu has already replied, there won't be any problem. We just need to wait a little longer.
Ye Jingyan thought about it and thought that after all, the other party had protected his sister well, so it didn’t matter if he came a little late.
Just then, there was a faint noise coming from outside.
Ye Chutang's eyebrows twitched.
The next moment, the maid came to report with a smile: "Second Miss, the prince is here!"
Ye Chutang stood up.
The night outside was dark, and a tall and straight figure walked out from the darkness.
The candlelight shone on that elegant and unparalleled face, outlining his perfect facial features and smooth jaw.
Those eyes, as dark as deep pools, seemed to contain star-like divine light, deep and unfathomable, captivating the heart.
A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Chutang's mind - Chen Yanchuan seemed to be more suitable for black.
Compared with his previous snow-white brocade clothes, this time he walked in the night, wearing a black cloak, with black hair and black eyes, he looked even more clear and noble, and he had a fatal attraction that made people unable to look away.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyelids slightly, and their eyes met in an instant.
His fingertips moved slightly.
It was only a few days since they last met, but he felt like a long time had passed.
Ye Chutang knelt and saluted:
"Meet the prince." (End of this chapter)
