Chapter 198: Please come to the mansion when you are free
"The fifth young lady of the Ye family?" Quan Qingyun stared at Ye Chulian for a while and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ye Chulian stood up quickly, but could not speak clearly. Moreover, she felt a little pressured talking to the Third Prince, so she could not speak clearly. She just said that she came to see the Emperor, and Quan Qingyun could not understand anything else.
But he didn't care what Ye Chulian was doing in the palace. It was none of his concern. So he just waved his hand and said, "Alright, what you are doing in the palace has nothing to do with me. If you can't explain it, don't say it. I just want to ask you, since you are back home, have you seen your second brother? How is he?"
Ye Chulian thought for a moment and said, "My second brother is in the mansion, so it should be the same as usual, right?" "Did your father give him any trouble?"
Ye Chulian shook her head, "I don't know."
"Did Madam Ye give him any trouble?"
She still shook her head, "I don't know."
"What about your stepmother? Did she give him any trouble?"
"I don't know."
Quan Qingcheng's nose almost got crooked with anger, "You are really good at not knowing anything when asked."
Ye Chulian lowered her head, not daring to look at Quan Qingyun, but fortunately she dared to speak now: "I am just a concubine's daughter, what does the Third Prince expect me to know?"
"A concubine's daughter?" Quan Qingyun snorted coldly, "A concubine's daughter who can survive under the hands of the second branch of the Ye family must have extraordinary ability."
He threw down these words and turned away. Ye Chulian stood there for a while, thought about it, gritted her teeth, and finally chased after him - "Fourth sister treats second brother very well, but the old lady, my father and stepmother treat him worse."
Quan Qingyun stopped and stared at Ye Chulian for a while, then sneered again, "It's more than just a matter of being a little bit worse."
Ye Chulian nodded, "So if the Third Prince is free tomorrow, go to the General's Mansion and have a seat! If nothing comes out tomorrow, then go the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm?" Quan Qingyun was stunned. "What does this mean?"
Ye Chulian refused to say anything more. She just lowered her head and ran back to the door of the Fairy Palace and sat down obediently.
Quan Qingyun was really annoyed. He wanted to chase after her and ask her, but he felt that it was too much trouble to talk to this concubine's daughter, so he turned around and left in anger.
Ye Chulian let out a long sigh, and her heart continued to beat rapidly for a while before gradually calming down.
Was she tipping off? But why did she tip off? Ye Chulian herself couldn't figure it out. She obviously hated that second brother. She was still angry with him on the day the Earth Dragon turned over. She felt that he had done something that she couldn't accept. But sometimes people are just strange. On the one hand, she could empathize with Ye Wenyan's experience, because she had experienced more than one persecution since she was a child, and the second lady had wanted to take her life more than once. But on the other hand, she felt that her second brother's life was a little bit similar to hers. If she didn't help her second brother once, such a thing would happen to her sooner or later.
Perhaps what the Third Prince said is right. She must have some ability to be able to survive under the hands of the Second Branch of the Ye Family until now!
Ye Chulian calmed down and started to look into the Fairy Palace through the door. Many princes came out one after another, and each one looked at her, especially the Sixth Prince, who stood in front of her for a long time, and then said to her politely: "Hello, Fifth Sister, you should call me brother-in-law."
Ye Chulian became even more nervous. She didn't know why, but the pressure brought to her by the Sixth Prince was even greater than that of the Third Prince. Although he was a kind person and the Third Prince looked more fierce, she felt that the Sixth Prince was more dangerous. Even if he spoke to her nicely and called her the Fifth Sister warmly, she would still tremble uncontrollably.
"I've heard that Fifth Sister is timid, and it seems that she is really timid." The Sixth Prince smiled again, "Then I won't bother you anymore."
After the Sixth Prince left, Ye Chulian quietly looked at his back, but immediately looked away after just one glance.
Seeing that she was trembling with fear, Wu Fei asked in a low voice, "Is the Fifth Miss afraid of the Sixth Prince?"
Ye Chulian nodded, "Very scared, I don't know why, but I'm just scared. But I didn't feel this scared when facing the Third Prince. Although I would be nervous when talking to the Third Prince, nervousness is different from fear. It's like..."
She couldn't put her finger on how to describe this feeling, but Wu Fei understood it better than her: "Do you think that the Third Prince is just simply fierce, but the Sixth Prince's smile can kill people?"
Ye Chulian nodded immediately, "Eunuch Wu's summary is perfect."
Wu Fei rolled his eyes, lowered his voice, and asked her, "Has Miss Fifth met His Highness Sixth Prince before?"
Ye Chulian didn't understand why he asked this question, but still answered: "Of course I have seen him. He is engaged to my fourth sister. When my grandfather was alive, he was worried that he would treat my fourth sister badly after marriage, so whenever he was in the capital, he would call the Sixth Prince to the mansion to listen to his lectures."
Wu Fei smiled bitterly, "It means that General Ye has the confidence to teach the legitimate prince a lesson, or that he can listen to General Ye's lecture, or dare not disobey. But... Miss Fifth, since you have met the Sixth Prince before, do you feel that the Sixth Prince is a little different now than before?"
Ye Chulian nodded, "It's different. At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, I felt like he was a different person."
"Who said it wasn't!" Wu Fei shook his head, "It changed so suddenly, and I don't know whether this change is good or bad." After saying that, he looked into the hall, and seeing that Ye Chulian was a little anxious, he took the initiative to say, "Let me go in and take a look at the fifth lady!" After saying that, he didn't wait for Ye Chulian to answer, and walked into the Fairy Hall by himself.
When she came out again, Quan Qinghua, who left last, followed behind her. Ye Chulian's face suddenly turned red. She was nervous when she saw the Third Prince, and she was scared when she saw the Sixth Prince. Now she was nervous and scared when she saw the Fourth Prince. But Quan Qinghua asked her, "Are you waiting for me?" Ye Chulian panicked even more.
"I, I'm not, no, I'm not waiting for the Fourth Prince. It's my sister. My sister asked me to come to see the Emperor." She stuttered a little, and felt that Quan Qinghua's white dress was really dazzling, so she simply closed her eyes.
Quan Qinghua looked at her for a while and asked again: "Are you nervous?"
Ye Chulian hurriedly shook her head, "No, I'm not nervous."
"Oh." His voice was calm and emotionless, "Then I will leave."
After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving even more decisively than the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.
Wu Fei was worried about Ye Chulian, so he took the initiative to help: "Fifth Miss has been waiting here for a long time, why did you let the Fourth Prince go just after he came out? At least say something! Otherwise, you've waited in vain."
It sounded like he was talking to Ye Chulian, but in reality he was talking to Quan Qinghua. Quan Qinghua also stopped as he wished, and even turned around halfway, waiting for a long time until Ye Chulian finally said, "I heard that Prince Chen's Mansion collapsed, is the Fourth Prince okay?"
He nodded. "Very good."
"Oh." She didn't know what to say again. Sweat was streaming down her forehead. It was clearly the first month of the year, but she felt like the dog days of summer. She couldn't stop sweating.
"Miss Fifth, is there anything else?"
Ye Chulian hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's okay."
"Since everything is fine, I will leave now." This time he really left. No one called him, so he did not stop. After a while, he walked out of the gate of the Palace of Gods, and disappeared after turning a corner.
Ye Chulian heaved a long sigh of relief, and seemed a little unwilling to accept it, stamping her feet fiercely. Wu Fei was helpless, "Fifth Miss, what's the point of you being so depressed and stamping your feet after this? What were you thinking when the Fourth Prince was here? You finally got this opportunity, at least you could say a few more words! You stood there for such a long time and only said a few words, and you closed your eyes the whole time, don't you think you're losing out?"
Ye Chulian knew she was at a disadvantage, but she couldn't help it. Although she wasn't really timid, she had practiced to be timid in the Ye Mansion to save her life since she was a child. In fact, she wasn't that timid, otherwise she wouldn't have ignored the situation at home and followed Ye Wenyan to the outer city.
But it was completely different when facing the Fourth Prince. She even lost the courage she had when she first met him. She didn't dare to raise her head or open her eyes. She didn't even dare to look at him until he was far away.
How could this be possible? Just like Wu Fei said, if I was so timid, wouldn't I have waited all night in vain?
"Forget it." Ye Chulian persuaded herself, "I came to the palace to talk to the emperor, not to wait for the Fourth Prince."
Wu Fei smiled bitterly, "Whatever Miss Fifth says, that's fine! Now there are no outsiders in the palace, let's go in!"
Ye Chulian nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Wu Fei in without any psychological burden.
Quan Qingcheng had just finished discussing something with his brothers and seemed to be in a bad mood. He was sitting at his desk flipping through some memorials.
Ye Chulian knelt in the middle of the hall with a very upright and calm attitude. She said in a clear and crisp voice: "Your servant Ye Chulian pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Then she leaned over and kowtowed, which scared Quan Qingcheng.
"Uh... Ye Chulian? Fifth Miss? Why are you here?" Quan Qingcheng was a little surprised and subconsciously looked back. When he saw that there was no one behind Ye Chulian, he was a little disappointed, but he still greeted Ye Chulian warmly, "Fifth Miss, please get up quickly. There are no outsiders here at the moment, so you don't have to be polite."
Ye Chulian stood up. Because her knees were swollen from kneeling at home, she swayed and almost fell.
Wu Fei was startled and hurried to help her. Quan Qingcheng also asked anxiously, "Chu Lian, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Chulian waved her hands, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just too intense, it will be fine after a while."
After talking to the three princes, she was not nervous when she saw Quan Qingcheng. Instead, she felt a little friendly. Wu Fei asked her to sit down and she sat down. Wu Fei poured her tea and she drank it. She even held the tea bowl to warm her hands and said while breathing: "There is no harm without comparison. Compared with the house, it is too cold outside."
Quan Qingcheng asked her, "Chu Lian, have you been waiting outside for a long time?"
She nodded, "Yes, it's been almost an hour! The emperor was discussing matters with several princes earlier, so it was not convenient for me to come in, so I waited outside. But I didn't wait in vain, Fourth Sister asked me to come to the palace to talk to the emperor and give him some advice, so I thought of some things and just wanted to talk to the emperor..."
