Chapter 608 Worry-free (Part 2)
There was a smile on Shen Yanchuan's lips.
Hearing what she just said was most worthwhile.
Seeing that Ye Chutang was still concerned about Qingzhou, he nodded gently, "Five days at the fastest, seven days at the slowest."
Qingzhou is not far from the capital, and this time he was summoned back to the capital in the name of Jiang Zhaoyuan, so he would certainly not dare to show off and would keep a low profile.
"Gao Yi is a skilled martial artist, so he must have accompanied him back. Perhaps... he also wants to take this opportunity to find out about the situation in the capital."
Ye Chutang agreed very much, "Yes. The Qingzhou grain merchants have not shown up since the grain harvest last year. Gao Yi must know that something happened to the people above him, but he is trapped by his status and cannot leave Qingzhou without permission. Now there is such a great opportunity to go to Beijing in person, he will never miss it."
She paused slightly and slowly narrowed her eyes.
"I just don't know... who exactly does he want to see?"
She already had a guess in her mind, but still needed evidence to verify it.
What the truth is will be revealed then!
…
Xiaowu slept very soundly and slept until noon.
She woke up in a daze and subconsciously reached around, but the quilt was empty.
Um? Where is my sister?
Xiaowu got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, looked around, and saw Ye Chutang sitting by the window reading a book.
She supported her chin with one hand, her profile calm, and the scenery outside the window looked like an ink painting.
Hearing the noise, she tilted her head and asked, "Awake?"
Xiaowu was about to nod when his stomach growled.
Her face suddenly turned red and she felt embarrassed.
Ye Chutang smiled and waved, "Come over and have something to fill your stomach."
Xiaowu then noticed the snacks and jerky on the small table. His eyes immediately lit up and he hurried over.
The shoes are worn crookedly on the feet and are about to fall off.
Ye Chutang laughed, "No one is competing with you for it."
Xiaowu raised his little face and smiled brightly at her.
Maybe it’s because it’s a holiday, it’s rare for her elder sister to indulge her like this on a normal day, so of course she has to cherish it!
However, just as she took a piece of jerky, she heard some noise coming from outside.
She looked out curiously.
Ye Chutang had already stood up and raised his eyebrows, "You came back so quickly."
She pushed open the window, and the next moment, Xiaowu saw a black eagle swooping down and landing on the windowsill.
Then it turned its head, and without any movement, the jerky in Xiaowu's hand was already in its mouth.
Xiao Wu: “…”
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Chutang aggrievedly.
——Didn’t sister say that no one would compete with her for it?
Ye Chutang: "...Birds of prey are not considered human."
Xiaowu: “???”
Ye Chutang fed her another piece of cloud cake, "It has been flying for several days, don't bother with it."
Xiaowu puffed out his cheeks and waved his hands generously while eating.
——Forget it! Since she was doing this to help her elder sister, she didn't mind it!
There was a copper ring tied on Black Hawk's leg. Ye Chutang untied it and gave it a light click, and a piece of paper fell out.
She unfolded the note and read it word by word, her expression slightly froze.
After a moment, she put the note away and went to the door.
"Someone, go and ask Princess Qinyang to come to the mansion and tell her... Yunlai Tavern has just brewed some ice plum drink and invite her to taste it."
…
Princess Qinyang arrived very quickly.
She rode in, and as soon as she arrived at the gate of Ye's mansion, she dismounted easily, handed the reins to the servant waiting at the door, put the whip she had just received on her waist, and walked inside.
"Chu Tang! I'm here!"
She has always been impetuous, and she and Ye Chutang are indeed good friends, so her visit did not attract anyone's attention this time.
Ye Chutang came out to greet her with a smile, and there was a pot of wine on the table beside them.
She uncorked the wine and poured a glass.
The crisp aroma of wine is mixed with a hint of plum fragrance, refreshing the heart.
Princess Qinyang showed a look of astonishment on her face. She looked around and then stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is there really wine?"
As soon as Ye Chutang sent someone to deliver the message, she guessed that it was a reply from Longcheng, so she came over without stopping.
I thought the so-called wine tasting was just an excuse, but I didn't expect Ye Chutang to actually prepare a pot.
"I invited you to taste wine, but when you left there was no smell of alcohol on you, wouldn't that be strange?"
Ye Chutang curled his lips.
"It is indeed a new product this year. The wine shop has not officially launched it yet. How about trying it? If you like it, I will send some to your house later."
Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! You are right. There are so many eyes staring at me now. Since this is a show, I have to do it in its entirety!"
She picked up the wine glass, brought it to her lips, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sighed, "Your wine is really unique... I don't know how you come up with so many new ideas. If you sell this to others, the business of your Yunlai Wine Shop will probably be taken to a higher level!"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "They are just some small things, making a little money."
Princess Qinyang: "...Please don't tell anyone else about this, or I'm afraid they will get conjunctivitis."
Having said that, she drank the cup in one gulp.
Ye Chutang knew that she could drink a lot, so he didn't stop her.
Princess Qinyang gave a thumbs up and gave the most direct affirmation, "Good wine!"
As she recalled the past, she couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, your work style is becoming more and more like my brother's. You are so meticulous and thorough..."
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "In this capital city, it's always better to be more careful."
She did not mention to Princess Qinyang what happened after she and Shen Yanchuan entered the palace.
Regarding Shen Yanchuan's excuses, regarding Emperor Mu Wu's temptations...
Princess Qinyang is a straightforward person, and now she is worried about King Yannan. Why should she be told about these trivial matters and make her worry too?
Anyway, it's all been resolved.
Hearing Ye Chutang's words, Princess Qinyang also agreed, "You are right!"
In the past, she was naturally fearless, but now it is different.
Ever since her father's accident, there has been no reaction in the capital until now. She knows that beneath the seemingly calm surface, perhaps a storm has already begun!
Her temperament also became more cautious and mature without her noticing.
Ye Chutang poured another glass.
Princess Qinyang was about to take it, but was stopped by her.
"This wine is very strong, drink it slowly. I have some good news, you should listen to it first."
Princess Qinyang immediately sat up straight and asked anxiously:
"But the news about my father!?"
Ye Chutang nodded slightly.
She took out a piece of paper from under the wine glass she had not touched and gently pushed it over.
Princess Qinyang quickly unfolded the note.
Ye Chutang said softly, "According to my friend, King Yannan has indeed been detained in Longcheng, but his life is safe. You can rest assured first."
