Chapter 664 Good News (Update 1)
Anyone could tell that he was bragging in his words, but he was telling the truth - who made his students so competitive! ?
Emperor Mu Wu also heard it. He was in a very good mood today and said directly, "Lord Tang, what you said is very true! You are worthy of the title of Jijiu for being able to bring up such an outstanding student!"
Tang Zhongli shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this really embarrasses me! The ones who really made contributions are Feng Zhang and Ye Yunfeng. I have been staying in the capital, but I have not been able to help them at all!"
"Your Majesty Tang, there's no need to be overly modest. After all, when they come back, they still have to call you teacher, right? Hahahaha!"
Emperor Mu Wu and his ministers were very happy.
The court meeting finally ended in an atmosphere of excitement and joy.
The news that King Nan of Yan and Feng Zhang led their troops to a great victory over the southern Hu bandits in Longcheng quickly spread throughout the capital.
…
When Princess Qinyang heard the news, she was practicing calligraphy in her own house.
——She was worried about King Yannan and couldn’t sleep well all day. She was always uneasy. Later, Ye Chutang gave her a copy of calligraphy to help her calm down.
Princess Qinyang has always been the most impatient when it comes to doing these things, but she also knows that if she goes out on a horse, given her current wandering state, it will definitely be more likely for problems to occur.
So after much thought, she did as Ye Chutang said, staying at home all day practicing calligraphy.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
Princess Qinyang almost suspected that she was hallucinating. She threw the brush in her hand away and walked quickly to the servant. Her voice was trembling slightly because of excitement.
"Is Father really going back to Beijing soon!?"
The servant also smiled and nodded repeatedly, "How can the news from the palace be false? Now everyone in the capital knows that our prince has won the battle and is about to return to the capital in triumph!"
Princess Qinyang pressed one hand on her chest, her heart beating uncontrollably rapidly under her palm.
There was only one thought in her mind—Father is coming back! He is safe and sound! Everything is fine!
Countless emotions collided violently in her chest, and her eyes turned red instantly.
The servant was shocked when he saw this, "Oh, Princess, why are you crying? The prince is coming back, and he is still so glorious, this is a great thing!"
Princess Qinyang quickly raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. Her tone was arrogant, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Why am I crying? I'm happy! Do you understand?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You are so happy!" The servant did not expose her, and said with emotion, "You and the prince have not seen each other for so long. Now you can finally meet each other. This is a great joy!"
"Of course!"
Princess Qinyang took two steps back and forth, then suddenly clapped her hands.
"Quick! Prepare the horses!"
The servant was puzzled, "Princess, are you going out? Are you... not going to practice calligraphy anymore?"
"What else are you practicing?"
Princess Qinyang had a bright smile and sparkling eyes.
"I have to tell Chu Tang this good news right away! Quick! Go now!"
…
Princess Qinyang rushed all the way and arrived at the Ye family with great excitement.
She came here often, and the servant led her in directly.
It happened that Ye Chutang was grinding medicine powder in the house. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Princess Qinyang, who was in high spirits and floating like a red butterfly.
"Chu Tang Chu Tang! I have great news to tell you!"
Princess Qinyang's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
"My father is coming back to Beijing! He is back safely!"
Ye Chutang's eyebrows curved, "That's great, you can finally meet as father and daughter."
Princess Qinyang was stunned. Seeing her reaction, a guess came to her mind. She widened her eyes slightly, "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?!"
Otherwise, she would never react like this!
Ye Chutang smiled noncommittally, "No matter if it's early or late, it's always good news. That's the most important thing, isn't it?"
"You're right! But—"
Princess Qinyang nodded subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something seemed to be wrong.
She looked around, moved closer, and lowered her voice, "Doesn't this mean that your news is faster than the 800-mile urgent war report!?"
Princess Qinyang knew that Ye Chutang had many ways and could always solve problems that others could not, otherwise she would not have thought of asking Ye Chutang for help.
Can……
"Aren't you exaggerating too much!?"
Princess Qinyang's eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
If it were anything else, it would be fine, but after all, the journey is long, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, whether it is people or things.
It was normal that Ye Chutang used an eagle to deliver the letter at a faster speed.
But the urgent report from the border, which was of the highest level and was sent back to the capital without stopping, was actually... still one step later than Ye Chutang?
Princess Qinyang, who was fearless, now showed some fear and hesitation.
"No one else knows about this, right? If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they will definitely report you to the higher-ups!"
This involves the most stringent military intelligence!
Ye Chutang was able to get such news firsthand, so what else didn't she know?
"Isn't it normal for me to know?" Ye Chutang blinked, looking calm, "Ah Feng won the battle. As her elder sister, it would be strange if I didn't know anything about it, right?"
"?"
Princess Qinyang was choked for a moment.
Seeing Ye Chutang's matter-of-fact look, she swallowed the words back.
Just... at first glance, this seems to make sense, but you seem to have forgotten that what you know is military secrets, not family matters!
Princess Qinyang hesitated to speak.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, so she just gave up.
"You are right."
Anyway, her father is safe now, and she can finally put down the stone in her heart. Ye Jiashilang also made military achievements and became famous - killing two birds with one stone!
Princess Qinyang lay down in the rattan chair beside her and stretched comfortably.
"Hey, I haven't been sleeping well recently. I can only take a nap by relying on the calligraphy book you gave me when I write a lot and it's too boring."
Ye Chutang smiled and teased, "Has the princess's calligraphy improved?"
Princess Qinyang waved her hands and said, "I am lucky that I can keep writing. Why do you have such high standards..."
She felt relaxed, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. Lying on the rattan chair, smelling the faint bitter scent of medicine, she felt sleepy comfortably.
Ye Chutang smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He poured the freshly ground medicine powder into the jade bottle.
She also had several medicinal herbs on hand.
Princess Qinyang yawned and asked casually,
"Are you going to make some new medicine?"
When she came here in the past, she rarely saw Ye Chutang so busy.
Ye Chutang nodded and said casually,
"A friend of mine is coming to Beijing soon. He's not feeling well, so I'll prepare some medicine for him in advance."
