The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Prince Di put down the snow-white teacup and said to Ling Chiye, "That's right. I also had to make a reservation several days in advance to book this private room."

There was no need to make reservations for the tables in the lobby, you could just sit down when you got a seat, but the private rooms were different, the dining environment and specifications were not comparable to those in the lobby. Prince Di had finally found an opportunity to invite the eldest son of the Ling family to dinner, so how could he not make the arrangements higher-end?

"I see. It's really not easy to use this meal." Ling Chiye pondered for a moment and then guessed, "Could this restaurant be the herbal restaurant opened by Princess Zhong Yueye?"

It's not that he hadn't heard about the big events that happened in the capital when he was in the Northern Territory, but he didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant opened by Yun Mujiu.

"That's right." King Di's face was calm, and he added: "She also opened other shops, the Herb Hall and the Hundred Flowers Garden."

"I've heard of it, too." Ling Chiye picked up the emerald green teacup and said slowly, "It seems that Princess Ye is really a remarkable woman who is proficient in everything."

Prince Di paused holding the teacup and just nodded lightly.

Soon, several waiters came in, brought various dishes, and introduced each medicinal dish to the guests one by one.

After listening to this, King Di waved his hand and asked people to leave, and then ordered his servant to close the door.

He and Ling Chiye began to eat, and they occasionally chatted.

Outside the window, the voices of people talking on the street could be heard faintly.

Inside the house, the faint scent of herbs permeates the elegant room.

Prince Di thought of the visiting card that was sent back to his palace, and his teeth clenched. Why did Uncle Ye reject his visiting card so decisively? Could it be that he just wanted to visit Uncle Ye and Yun Mujiu?

He had thought that he would have a chance to meet Yun Mujiu after returning to Beijing, but Yun Mujiu was ill and stayed indoors. He wrote a visiting card but was still turned away.

When he thought of the Northern Territory tonics that were thrown back into the mansion, King Di's expression became even more subtle.

"Third Prince, what's on your mind?" Ling Chiye suddenly asked.

Prince Di came back to his senses, calmed down his mind, and shook his head: "I just happened to think that Uncle Ye was not feeling well. As a nephew, I should go to visit Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye in person."

As for his real intention of coming to the house, whether he wanted to visit the patient, to gather information, or to meet someone, only he himself knew the specific purpose.

"The Third Prince is really thoughtful." Ling Chiye put down the white jade chopsticks and said, "But isn't the Ye Palace closed?"

"Yes. Therefore, I can only wait for a chance to visit them again in the future." Prince Di gave a reply that saved his face, not daring to mention that his visiting card and gifts were returned by the people in Prince Ye's Palace.

Ling Chiye nodded and said nothing more. Of course, he would not take the initiative to tell King Di that the Night Palace accepted his visiting card, nor would he tell King Di that the Night Palace also accepted the snow grass he brought from the Northern Territory, and that Yun Mujiu also returned a gift to the inn where he stayed, giving them many special medicines from the Herbal Hall.

Then, King Di asked tentatively: "How is Xingmu? I haven't had time to see him since I returned to the capital."

Ling Chiye said: "Shangjia. He is just too naughty and is asking for trouble."

King Di seemed to be thinking about something. "I'm glad he's okay. Young people are bound to be a little reckless."

Ling Chiye said indifferently: "We are already over 20 years old. If we continue to act recklessly, we will only bring disaster to the family."

If you think about it carefully, Ling Chiye's words carry a hint of regret. It also seems that he is trying to excuse the Northern Realm and the Ling family. Ling Xingmu rashly left the Northern Realm and quietly sneaked into the capital, but it was just a young man acting on impulse, with no other bad intentions.

King Di forced a smile and comforted Ling Chiye not to be angry about his brother.

Changing the subject, King Di asked again, "How is Xing Mu's recovery?"

Ling Chiye said calmly: "I went to see him once, and I can't say whether he is good or not. He still needs some time to recover."

King Di understood, and heard Ling Chiye add: "When he is fully recovered, I will take him back to the Northern Territory."

King Di nodded, listened to Ling Chiye's words, and also found out the information he wanted to know from the side.

In other words, Ling Chiye came to the capital with the Northern Ling family's attendants, and suddenly wanted to follow King Di's army, just to return to the capital to take Ling Xingmu away. At this time, King Di really guessed Ling Chiye's intention to come to the capital.

Secondly, Ling Chiye and the Ling family had no intention of interfering in any power, and they would not stay in Zhongyue Capital for too long, so naturally they would not cause any unrest.

Prince Di was relieved and planned to tell the emperor the news he had heard after meeting Ling Chiye. He had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Nantai team and the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion. Now that he had the opportunity to perform well in front of his father, how could he not seize the opportunity?

Ling Chiye glanced at the thoughtful King Di calmly, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He held the chopsticks with his scallion-white hands and ate elegantly again, occasionally commenting on it.

King Di smiled and started eating again.

After the meal, Ling Chiye and Prince Di left the private room one after another. Prince Di stayed behind and casually gave a few instructions to the servant, asking him to arrange the itinerary for his tour of the capital with Master Ling.

Suddenly, he raised his eyes and heard several voices.

He took a few steps forward and said to the back of the woman at the end of the corridor, "Ji Ling?"

The woman in the pink dress turned around, was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Third brother?"

King Di nodded, "I am right. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot and become more beautiful."

"Third brother is the same. He has become more handsome." Princess Ji Ling replied politely.

King Di laughed, then looked at the girl with a high ponytail next to Princess Ji Ling, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly.

The girl saluted openly, "Third Prince, my father is General Bai, and my name is Bai Yanshuang."

Prince Di's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly glanced at Bai Yanshuang and waved his hand, "Miss Bai, please don't be polite."

Later, he learned that Princess Ji Ling was also here to dine, so he told the servant to settle the bill for Princess Ji Ling later.

Princess Ji Ling smiled and declined, saying that she and Yan Shuang had VIP cards for the Laurel Tower. If her third brother needed it, she would book a private room for him next time and also treat him to a meal.

King Di was a man and an elder, so how could he accept Princess Ji Ling's request? However, he still accepted it on the surface, and exchanged a few polite words with Princess Ji Ling before saying goodbye and leaving.

In the blink of an eye, Princess Ji Ling walked to the end of the corridor and greeted a gentle and quiet woman. Then the three of them chatted for a while and entered the private room together.

Prince Di took a few glances and heard the servant beside him say, "Third Prince, that girl is You Luoyan, the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Princess Ji Ling has been hanging out with Miss Bai and Miss You recently."

King Di turned around and walked to the railing of the corridor at the other end.

Just now when he was talking to Princess Ji Ling and the others, Ling Chiye was standing at the railing not far away, with his back to them, looking at the lobby below.

King Di stepped forward and said, "Chiye, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."

Ling Chiye turned around and said casually, "It's okay."

The two of them walked down the stairs together, and behind them, three heads popped out of a private room, all staring at their backs.

The one with the longest neck was Princess Ji Ling, who was always the most reserved and dignified...

Bai Yanshuang asked: "Ji Ling, are you familiar with the Third Prince?"

Ji Ling shook her head: "Not very familiar with each other, rarely in contact."

You Luoyan asked: "Then do you know who the young man next to him is?"

Princess Ji Ling raised her eyes to look and immediately fell into thought.
