Chapter 84 The Crown Prince Comes to Cause Trouble
“I’m not going.” Ye Wanning frowned and stretched out her right hand. “I’ll just say I’m injured and need to recuperate at home.”
“But…” Cui’er hesitated for a long time before speaking, “The prince has already agreed…”
Ye Wanning was taken aback and turned her head. "What did you say?"
"His Highness just spoke to that person..." Cui'er paused, "...saying he will definitely go..."
"Just because he says he'll go doesn't mean I'll go!" Ye Wanning didn't know what she was angry about, she just felt unusually annoyed. If she went, she would definitely have to go with Su Wenzhen, and she hadn't figured out how to face him yet. After a pause, Ye Wanning looked at Cui'er, "Go and tell the Prince that I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't be going today."
"This..." Seeing Ye Wanning's affirmative expression, Cui'er nodded, but had no intention of moving. Seeing Ye Wanning frowning, Cui'er paused for a moment and said, "Sister, the Prince asked me to pass on a message to you?"
Ye Wanning stiffened. After a long while, she turned to look at Cui'er. Although she looked unwilling, she could see the curiosity in Cui'er's eyes. "What did you say?"
"His Highness said..." Cui'er secretly observed Ye Wanning's change, "His Highness asked me to say sorry."
"I'm sorry? I'm sorry?" Ye Wanning was taken aback, looking at Cui'er with some surprise. "You mean... he said sorry?"
Cui'er nodded, "Yes." Then she looked at Ye Wanning, "Sister, are you sure you're not going today? If you really aren't going, then I'll go and report to the Prince."
Ye Wanning sighed. After a long while, she looked at Cui'er, lowered her eyes, and said, "Never mind, help me prepare."
Seeing that Ye Wanning had finally come to her senses, Cui'er was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Yes!"
Ye Wanning looked up and glanced at Cui'er, naturally understanding what she was thinking. "Tell Steward Li to prepare two carriages."
"Huh?" Cui'er paused, looking at Ye Wanning with some confusion. "Sister, why prepare two carriages?"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to come with me?"
"Huh?" Cui'er was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning with some surprise. She had wanted to give the prince and her young mistress some alone time, and had forgotten about herself. Cui'er swallowed hard. "Oh my god, but... why do we need two carriages..."
"I'm in the same carriage as you," Ye Wanning said, shaking her head helplessly.
"I can walk..."
"Cui'er." Ye Wanning interrupted Cui'er, looking at her with an unusually calm expression. "I know what I'm doing with the Prince. You don't need to interfere." She then gave Cui'er a cold look. "Do you understand?"
"knew……"
After the two finished packing, they arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Just then, Su Wenzhen came out and saw two carriages at the gate. Su Wenzhen immediately understood what was going on and gave Ye Wanning a meaningful look.
Ye Wanning glanced at Su Wenzhen, frowned, and then looked away, as if she didn't want to look at him any longer.
“Wan Ning…” Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wan Ning standing to the side, his voice full of resentment.
"What is it?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow at Su Wenzhen. Seeing his strange expression, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Your Highness's acting is really good. I wonder who you learned it from. I'd like to learn it too."
Ye Wanning's words sounded sharp and harsh. Su Wenzhen smiled awkwardly. He looked at Ye Wanning, about to say something, but Ye Wanning rolled her eyes at him and got into the carriage.
“Your Highness…” Cui’er followed behind Ye Wanning, looking at Su Wenzhen with a helpless expression, “My sister’s anger hasn’t subsided yet… Please don’t…”
"Understood..." Su Wenzhen half-closed his eyes, turned his head to look at Jiang Hai, and said, "Let's go."
Upon arriving at the East Palace, Ye Wanning saw a scene of singing and dancing. Standing behind Su Wenzhen, she looked around the palace with some confusion. It seemed like a small family home, and just like last time, there were only a few princes present. Ye Wanning frowned. What was going on this time?
Seeing Ye Wanning and Su Wenzhen approaching, Su Wenzhen greeted them from afar, "Wenzhen, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm doing well." Su Wenzhen bowed. "After recovering, I haven't had any adverse reactions."
"That's excellent." Su Wenxuan smiled and led the two to their seats.
Su Wenyan had been kept in the palace by Su Wenzhen, though it was unclear whether it was house arrest or something else. He had always been close to Su Wenzhen, and upon seeing the two arrive, he couldn't help but greet them. "Sister-in-law..." Su Wenyan smiled and waved to Ye Wanning, "It's been so long, I've missed you dearly!"
Ye Wanning scoffed and walked over to Su Wenyan, tapping his head. "How come you've been living in the palace for so long and still have no manners?" With that, she sat down next to Su Wenyan.
Seeing Ye Wanning sit down, Su Wenyan was somewhat startled. He subconsciously glanced at Su Wenzhen, and seeing that Su Wenzhen showed no unusual behavior, he leaned close to Ye Wanning's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, did you and Brother have a fight? Why are you sitting here with me?"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Wenyan with a meaningful expression. "What, can't you sit here?"
"How dare I!" Su Wenyan waved his hands repeatedly, staring at the delicacies on the table with a hint of resentment. He was just afraid of being retaliated against in the future!
Noticing Ye Wanning's unusual expression, Su Wenzhen didn't say anything, but gave Su Wenzhen a knowing look and asked, "Wenzhen, did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?"
Su Wenzhen shook his head. "It's just a small-scale operation." As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
Su Wenxuan chuckled. This really did come to his wish. He pursed his lips and said, "Then please take a seat."
Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenzhen sitting opposite her. He was staring at her intently, and Ye Wanning felt her heart pounding. She swallowed and lowered her head as if nothing was wrong.
At this moment, Su Wenzhen spoke up, "Today is really just a small gathering." Su Wenzhen poured a glass of wine and chuckled, "Wenzhen has recovered. After all, we are brothers, so we really should celebrate together." As he spoke, he looked at Su Wenzhen, "Is that so, Wenzhen?"
“Your Majesty is right.” Su Wenzhen picked up his wine cup. “Today I will drink this first as a sign of respect!” With that, Su Wenzhen tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup.
"Second Brother is quite straightforward," Su Wenliang responded from the side. He smiled and picked up the wine cup on the table. "I'll also toast Second Brother!" After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing the three of them toasting each other, Su Wenyan frowned. He looked at Su Wenzhen, then at Ye Wanning who was standing to the side with her head down. He leaned close to Ye Wanning's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it seems the Crown Prince is trying to get Second Brother drunk... Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Ye Wanning frowned. She had already discovered this, but… She looked up at Su Wenzhen, who was drinking merrily. Hadn’t Wenzhen noticed either? She bit her lip. Now that she didn’t know what the Crown Prince’s purpose was, she didn’t know what to do. After a pause, she softly replied, “Wait.” There must be a conspiracy behind this!
After a few drinks, everyone became a little tipsy. Su Wenzhen's face was flushed, and he could barely stand up straight, swaying unsteadily. Ye Wanning felt a chill run down her spine.
After a long pause, Su Wenzhen suddenly spoke up, "Wenzhen seems to have had too much to drink today..."
"How could a few cups possibly get your brother drunk!" Su Wenzhen laughed, as if he had returned to his old self, looking completely silly.
Su Wenxuan sighed softly, glancing at Su Wenzhen. "In the past, of my three younger brothers, you were the one I worried about the most, but now," Su Wenxuan smiled, "I can finally put my mind at ease!"
“That’s right!” Su Wenliang chimed in, “My second brother suffered so much before, you must make it up to him!”
“Wenliang is right.” Su Wenzhen smiled and looked at Su Wenzhen. “In that case, how about I reward you with ten thousand taels of gold?”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Wenliang suddenly interrupted Su Wenyi, saying, "Ten thousand taels of gold is not enough!" As he spoke, Su Wenliang gave Ye Wanning a meaningful look, and then suddenly clapped his hands, "Quickly, bring them up."
Su Wenliang's gaze made Ye Wanning feel a chill run down her spine. Sure enough, as soon as Su Wenliang finished speaking, a servant-like man led in a dozen or so veiled women. Ye Wanning's heart tightened, and she glanced at Su Wenzhen. Oh no!
