Long Live the Empress

Xu Xinghuai looked at his lost eldest son and made a final effort, "Hey! Jing'er is so outstanding, she must find an outstanding man. I wonder which family the man is from?"

How could Yue Jinghao, an unmarried woman, answer this question?

Manju bowed slightly and said, "My lady and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been engaged since she was a child."

Boom... This muffled thunder exploded in the ears of everyone in the Xu Mansion... In the entire Wei Kingdom, is there any young master who is more outstanding than the current crown prince? Of course, they automatically excluded the eunuch Yan Liyuan...

Xu Xinghuai glanced at his eldest son who looked frustrated, and took a sip of tea awkwardly, "Jing'er is really lucky! Come on, eat the food. This Longjing shrimp is the chef's specialty. Come on and try it. Is it better than the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xu Zhanbo was somewhat shocked when he heard that Yue Jinghao and the prince had made an engagement. When he heard from his father that Yue Jinghao was actually the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his originally proud heart also felt a little inferior... To put it bluntly, his status was not worthy of her...

After lunch, Yue Jinghao said goodbye to everyone.

Arriving at the gate, Xu Lingcan reluctantly held Yue Jinghao's hand, "Sister Jing, you must come to see me often..."

Yue Jinghao scratched Xu Lingcan's nose and said, "Silly sister, I will invite you to my house in a few days! Why make it like a life-and-death separation!"

Xu Lingcan was delighted at the time, "Sister Jing is right, then Sister Jing, please send me an invitation when you get back, and I will go to see you tomorrow!"

Looking at Xu Lingcan's expectant eyes, Yue Jinghao agreed helplessly.

Xu Lingcan stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the carriage going away for a long time.

................................................

After Yue Yuyan came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went straight to Jingxin Tea House and waited from morning until afternoon.

As expected, God will not let down those who work hard. Although Yue Yuyan did not wait for the crown prince, she waited for the fourth prince, Wei Zilin. Although the fourth prince is not as noble as the crown prince, he is still a prince after all!

When Yue Yuyan saw Wei Zilin getting off the carriage, she brought some tea and went downstairs.

Wei Zilin was talking to the guard Mo Yan and when they passed by Yue Yuyan, the snacks in Yue Yuyan's hand were knocked to the ground.

Mo Yan drew out his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Yue Yuyan, "How dare you! Who are you to offend the Fourth Prince?"

Yue Yuyan seemed to be frightened and knelt down on the steps. "I am Yue Yuyan, the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am honored to meet the Fourth Prince~"

Although Wei Zilin only glanced at Yue Yuyan, his mind was moved many times, "So it's the Third Miss~ Mo Yan, don't draw your sword so easily in the future, what if you scare the Third Miss?"

Mo Yan then retracted his sword and looked at Yue Yuyan with a vigilant look.

It's no wonder that Yue Yuyan has become a lot smarter this time when she came back. She no longer flirts with everyone she meets, but behaves in a reserved and elegant manner. "Fourth Prince, please don't blame the guard. It was your humble servant who was rude~"

Wei Zilin pursed his lips and smiled, then gave Yue Yuyan a helping hand, "Since the tea has been spilled, Miss Third should stay with this prince!"

Yue Yuyan was so happy in her heart, but her face remained elegant, "Thank you, Fourth Prince~"

Wei Zilin's box was not very big, but it was decorated very elegantly. Yue Yuyan felt that the tea in her hand became more fragrant.

“Why did the Third Miss come out to drink tea today…” Wei Zilin asked first. With Yue Yuyan’s monthly allowance, she couldn’t afford to go to Jingxin Tea House. There must be something fishy going on.

Yue Yuyan seemed to be hesitant to talk and just drank her tea stiffly.

Wei Zilin personally poured a cup of tea for Yue Yuyan, "Don't be afraid, Third Miss, you can't just let it go..."

Yue Yuyan bit her lip and shook her head, "It's not that I can't say it, but I am ashamed to speak up... It concerns my second sister, I..."

When Wei Zilin heard that it was related to Yue Jinghong, he paused while drinking tea, "Oh? Could it be that the Second Miss is here too?"

Yue Yuyan saw Wei Zilin continued to talk along with her words, and as if she had made up her mind, she also told him the purpose of her visit, "Second sister secretly left the house yesterday..."

Wei Zilin started laughing as soon as he started talking. "I thought something big had happened. I guess the second young lady felt bored in the mansion, so she wanted to go out and relax."

Yue Yuyan shook her head and sighed, "If this is true, why would I come here? It's my second sister... my second sister and the Crown Prince... I think the Fourth Prince also knows that the Crown Prince and my eldest sister have already been engaged. What my second sister did... is really..."

Wei Zilin's heart sank and he glanced at Mo Yan. How could he not know such an important thing?

Mo Yan lowered his head and said nothing.

The fourth prince raised his eyes, still as elegant as ever, "Perhaps the second lady and the prince just happened to meet like you and me, and drank a cup of tea by the way!"

Yue Yuyan's face suddenly turned red, as if Yue Jinghong had done something shameful. "I heard from the servants that the second sister left the house before the evening, and returned home in the evening. If we just happened to meet, how could it be at that time?"
