Chapter 10 Entering the Palace
After Ye Wanning finished tidying up, she realized that Su Wenzhen hadn't returned for a long time, so she went out to look for him. Unexpectedly, she ran into the "legendary" butler as soon as she stepped out. Thinking about her humiliating appearance yesterday, Ye Wanning was still a little angry, so she glared at the butler fiercely.
Seeing Ye Wanning's gaze, the steward was taken aback. When had he offended the princess? But this was only their first meeting! The steward paused for a moment, then remembered that he had come to see her on urgent business, and quickly said, "Your Highness, today is the day you and the prince are to enter the palace to meet the emperor."
Meeting the Emperor? Ye Wanning frowned, then suddenly remembered that the Emperor was also her father-in-law, so it was only right to meet him. Even though Su Wenzhen was a fool, proper etiquette still had to be observed.
Ye Wanning was about to nod when she remembered what happened last night and became angry again. With a dark face, she asked, "What's the housekeeper's name?"
"This old servant's surname is Li, and his given name is Liang..."
"Alright!" Ye Wanning waved her hand impatiently. "Butler Li, you'd better be more careful in the future. It's better not to meddle in things that aren't your responsibility."
Butler Li was somewhat surprised. This was something she shouldn't be meddling in… He looked at Ye Wanning, puzzled, and asked, “What does the Princess mean?”
"Hmph!" Ye Wanning rolled her eyes at Steward Li, didn't reply, and turned to leave. "I'm going to find Wenzhen. You prepare the carriage for us!"
Steward Li was bewildered by Ye Wanning's sudden outburst, and then felt a pang of sadness. He had watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and the prince had suffered enough. Now that the prince had married such a wife, he really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse! Steward Li couldn't help but sigh. After all, it was his masters' business, and he shouldn't interfere too much. After thinking for a while, he went down to prepare the carriage.
The Prince's mansion was somewhat unfamiliar to Ye Wanning, especially since she was a new mistress. The servants there were reluctant to pay her any attention. Ye Wanning fanned herself angrily, feeling tired after searching for so long. Watching the servants come and go, Ye Wanning's eyes darkened. They dared to treat this not-so-stupid mistress like this; she really didn't know how Wen Zhen was usually bullied by them. Now that she had returned from the palace, she was going to thoroughly clean up the atmosphere in the mansion.
"Your Highness...Your Highness...We've found the Prince..." Cui'er rushed over from the side. "The Prince is in the kitchen. He said he wanted to make you breakfast, but he won't come out no matter what we do! Please go and see him!"
Ye Wanning was stunned. What was this idiot doing?
In the kitchen, Su Wenzhen was starting a fire, but unfortunately he didn't get the hang of it and ended up with his face covered in soot. When Ye Wanning arrived at the kitchen, she was shocked. Su Wenzhen's face was completely black. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had just come back from digging coal!
Looking at Su Wenzhen's "Bao Gong face," Ye Wanning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Disturbed by the commotion behind him, Su Wenzhen turned around and saw Ye Wanning smiling happily. He stared at her blankly and said, "My wife looks so beautiful when she smiles."
Hearing this, Ye Wanning blushed, turned her head and saw Cui'er secretly laughing, feeling embarrassed. She fiercely pulled Su Wenzhen up from the ground, "Get up! What a mess you've made of! All you do is fool around!"
Su Wenzhen pouted, looking at Ye Wanning with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "Wife...wife...wife, I..."
Seeing Su Wenzhen's expression, Ye Wanning felt a little sorry for him. She pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you. But what are you doing here?"
Su Wenzhen twisted the hem of his clothes in his hands, looking at her timidly, "Last time...last time...last time my wife made so many delicious things for me, I want to make them for my wife too..."
Ye Wanning was stunned, staring blankly at him. A strange emotion suddenly welled up in her heart, and she sighed softly, "Fool."
Su Wenzhen's face fell, and he said somewhat unhappily, "So in my wife's heart, I'm just a fool too."
"That's not what I meant," Ye Wanning said with a smile, patting Su Wenzhen's head. "In my heart, Wenzhen is the smartest."
"Really! That's great!" Su Wenzhen happily hugged Ye Wanning and grinned foolishly.
Seeing this scene, Cui'er felt it was exceptionally beautiful. If only Prince Jin weren't a fool, they would definitely be a perfect couple. It's just... a pity...
Cui'er sighed, not wanting to disturb the current warmth, but business was important. She cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness and Your Highness, it's getting late, we should go to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning immediately pushed Su Wenzhen away. She hadn't even intended to refuse just now… Ye Wanning frowned. What was wrong with her? Feeling flustered, Ye Wanning didn't have time to worry about Su Wenzhen and rushed out of the kitchen, yelling, "Hurry up and follow me!"
Ye Wanning sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look outside.
"My wife..."
Ye Wanning pretended not to hear and continued looking at what she didn't know was "scenery".
"My wife..."
Ye Wanning remained silent.
"Wife, wife, wife!" Su Wenzhen pouted like a child.
"What!" Ye Wanning couldn't stand Su Wenzhen calling her in that cloying voice anymore, so she had no choice but to answer.
"What's wrong with my wife... she won't talk to me..." Su Wenzhen's face fell, and his whole body radiated unhappiness.
Ye Wanning was stunned. Right, what was wrong with her? She'd only been so captivated by his embrace that she'd forgotten everything else! What's the big deal! What's the big deal… Ye Wanning covered her face. Good heavens! Had she fallen for this fool?!
As a modern woman of the 21st century! Having finally experienced a time-travel adventure that most people couldn't! And yet, she hasn't even made a name for herself! And hasn't even flirted with countless handsome men! How could she have developed feelings for a fool?! Ye Wanning scratched her head. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Seeing Ye Wanning's actions, Su Wenzhen was shocked. This woman... has she gone mad...?
"My wife... my wife... my wife, what's wrong?"
"You didn't take your medicine!"
"ah?"
"I said I forgot to take my medicine before I left!" Ye Wanning shouted at Su Wenzhen in annoyance, but then realized that people in ancient times wouldn't know the meaning of that sentence, so she immediately said, "It's nothing, I misspoke just now, it's okay, let's continue enjoying the scenery!"
Su Wenzhen looked out the car window, her lips twitching slightly. There were people everywhere outside, no "scenery" at all. But what she was talking about was the medicine she had just mentioned. Su Wenzhen's eyes darkened. She hadn't heard that the Third Miss had any illness. Could it be that the Prime Minister's mansion had done something to her by giving her medicine? It seemed she would have to have Jiang Hai investigate this thoroughly.
Inside the Imperial Garden, Ye Wanning curiously looked around. Sure enough, things inside the palace were quite different from those outside. Take the Imperial Garden for example, there were countless rare and exotic plants. Looking at the dazzling array of flowers, Ye Wanning's mood improved considerably.
"The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Hearing the shout, Ye Wanning was startled. The Crown Prince? She subconsciously looked at Su Wenzhen and saw his frightened expression. She frowned. It seemed that the Crown Prince had bullied him quite a bit back in the palace! She walked over, gently took Su Wenzhen's hand, and smiled at him. "It's okay, I'm here with you!"
