Chapter 105 Wanyi's Marriage
"Your Highness is right." Ye Qingyuan nodded. There had been no news from Su Wenlu regarding Ye Wanyi's marriage, and he had been thinking about when to bring it up. Now that Su Wenlu himself had brought it up, he was naturally overjoyed.
After a pause, Ye Qingyuan looked at Su Wenyi again and asked, "What about Wanqing here..."
"You don't need to worry about that." Su Wenxuan glanced at Ye Qingyuan lightly. "Wanqing is sometimes too immature. It's good to find someone to help her out."
"Your Highness is wise." Ye Qingyuan smiled. "In that case, this old minister will take his leave."
"Go ahead." Su Wenxuan nodded, turned around and walked to the bed next to him, where he slowly sat down.
Seeing that Su Wenxuan had agreed, Ye Qingyuan bowed and withdrew. As soon as he opened the door to the study, Ye Wanqing barged in.
"Wanqing! What are you doing!" Ye Qingyuan was bumped into by Ye Wanqing. He knew that Su Wenyi disliked her because of her personality. Ye Qingyuan frowned and immediately scolded in a low voice, "How long have you been in the Crown Prince's residence? How can you still be so rude?"
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing was stunned. She bit her lip, withdrew her foot, took two steps back, and slowly bowed to Ye Qingyuan. "It's all because I was ignorant, Father. Please don't blame me."
"Think more carefully!" Ye Qingyuan frowned, looking at Ye Wanqing with a displeased expression.
“Prime Minister Ye is right.” As soon as Ye Qingyuan finished speaking, Su Wenyi suddenly spoke up. He looked at Ye Wanqing and pursed his lips. “Since we are all here now, Wanqing, I have something to tell you.”
Ye Wanqing's heart tightened. After a pause, she lowered her head and said, "What is it? Your Highness, please speak plainly."
“Father’s health isn’t very good right now.” Su Wenxuan picked up the teacup beside him, removed the tea dust with the lid, and glanced at Ye Wanqing. “There are more and more affairs in the Eastern Palace now, so it’s time to find someone to help you.”
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing's clasped hands tightened even more. Was he going to take a concubine? Ye Wanqing bit her lip, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "What the Crown Prince says is true, but I wonder who the Crown Prince's preferred candidate is..."
"Is there any need to say that?" Su Wenlan chuckled, looking at Ye Qingyuan. "Naturally, it's your good sister, Ye Wanyi. Otherwise, why would I bring this up in front of Prime Minister Ye?"
Ye Wanyi? I knew it would be her! Ye Wanqing's eyes darkened, she gritted her teeth, her expression unreadable, "The Crown Prince is indeed very thoughtful. Since she is my second sister, there will be much less friction in the future."
“It would be best if you could understand.” Su Wenxuan pursed his lips, his face gentle. After a pause, he slightly parted his lips and said, “Then I’ll leave this matter to you. I trust you to handle things.” As he spoke, he looked up at Ye Wanqing with a half-smile, “Don’t let me down.”
"Yes." Ye Wanqing's clenched fist tightened. Of course, I will handle this matter properly!
Su Wenzhen had just returned to his residence when he heard laughter coming from Ye Wanning's courtyard. He was taken aback for a moment, then walked into the courtyard and found Ye Wanning and Cui'er talking about something. "What are you doing?"
Ye Wanning came to her senses and found Su Wenzhen standing outside the courtyard. She was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I didn't do anything." She pointed to Cui'er and said, "I took Cui'er out to get some sun."
"Oh?" Su Wenzhen raised an eyebrow, then turned his head and found Cui'er sitting on a chair, but... that chair... "What is this?" Su Wenzhen pointed to the two wheel-like things under the chair and asked curiously.
“It’s just wheels!” Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow. She pushed the chair around a couple of times, then said to Su Wenzhen with a hint of smugness, “Look, isn’t it much more convenient this way?”
"That's a really good idea." Su Wenzhen smiled and stepped forward to grab Ye Wanning's hand. "How are you feeling?"
Ye Wanning was startled. She looked at Su Wenzhen, who seemed flustered. Cui'er and the other maids were all there, but he... Ye Wanning felt her face burning. She forcefully pulled her hand away from Su Wenzhen's and paused for a while before finally speaking, "I'm all better now. What are you doing?"
"Isn't it enough that I care about you?" Seeing Ye Wanning like this, Su Wenzhen felt great.
He glanced at Cui'er discreetly. Cui'er turned her head and saw Su Wenzhen looking at her. She immediately understood. She smiled and looked at Ye Wanning, "Sister, the prince must have something to discuss with you. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll be leaving now."
Ye Wanning was taken aback. Seeing Cui'er's ambiguous smile, she immediately understood the meaning behind her words. She smiled somewhat embarrassedly and angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! He just came back from the palace and came to see me!" As she spoke, she glanced at Su Wenzhen, "Wenzhen, don't you think so?"
Su Wenzhen smiled at Ye Wanning but didn't reply. He looked at Cui'er and said, "Then you should walk slowly. If something happens on the way, she'll blame me."
"Yes!" Cui'er smiled secretly, then waved to Ye Wanning, "Sister, I'm leaving now." With that, she gave the maids around her a look, and they helped her away.
"Cui'er!" Ye Wanning stood behind, watching Cui'er's departing figure, both angry and annoyed. She stomped her foot, looked at Su Wenzhen, and said with a displeased expression, "It's all your fault!"
"What's wrong with me?" Su Wenzhen chuckled and stepped forward, putting his arm around Ye Wanning. "I was thinking of you constantly in the palace, and I came to see you as soon as I got back. Do you think I haven't treated you well?"
"Who told you to come see me!" Ye Wanning muttered under her breath, slapping Su Wenzhen's hand away. She frowned at him, "You talk as if nobody cares."
"You talk as if you don't care," Su Wenzhen chuckled.
"You!" Ye Wanning blushed with anger at Su Wenzhen's words. She turned and walked towards the house. "I'm not talking to you anymore! Whoever wants it can have it!" As she spoke, Ye Wanning turned around, just about to close the door, but Su Wenzhen stopped her. She raised her eyebrows and said fiercely, "What are you doing!"
"Wife, why are you so fierce?" Su Wenzhen's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Ye Wanning with his big, watery eyes, looking innocent. His tone was full of grievance. "You weren't like this before."
"You weren't like this before!" Ye Wanning was initially softened by Su Wenzhen's pitiful act, but within seconds, she snapped back to her old self. Pouting, she said angrily, "Don't play the victim with me!"
Seeing that this tactic had no effect, Su Wenzhen shrugged helplessly. He looked at Ye Wanning and smiled, "However, I do have something to tell you today."
Ye Wanning was taken aback. Seeing Su Wenzhen's serious expression, she frowned and asked, "What is it?" Ye Wanning suddenly paused again. He had just returned from the palace. Could it be...? She looked at Su Wenzhen and asked tentatively, "Did something happen in the palace?"
Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning, paused, and after a long while, he frowned and said, "You could say something happened in the palace, but... you could also say that it didn't."
"Huh?" Ye Wanning was taken aback, looking at him with some confusion. "What does this mean?"
"I reckon you'll be busy in a few days." Su Wenzhen smiled and said meaningfully, "I guess it's because it's something you don't want to get involved in."
Hearing Su Wenzhen say this, Ye Wanning became even more puzzled. She looked at Su Wenzhen with a curious expression, "What exactly is it?"
"Want to know?" Su Wenzhen suddenly grinned mischievously, looking at Ye Wanning with a smug expression. "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."
"You!" Ye Wanning's face, which had just calmed down, suddenly turned red again. She looked at Su Wenzhen with anger, "Say it or don't!" With that, she prepared to close the door.
"Alright, alright." Su Wenzhen smiled and took Ye Wanning's hand. "Stop fooling around." He looked at Ye Wanning. "I'll tell you."
"You need some discipline." Ye Wanning rolled her eyes at Su Wenzhen, then pouted impatiently, "Speak, what is it?"
"Your second sister will probably be marrying the Crown Prince soon."
