Chapter 115: Long Huang-er’s Request (1/2)

What a coincidence, when Long Yin brought Long Huang-er to the Ye residence, Ye Wuchen had just returned with Tong Xin. Long Yin had just come down from his imperial palanquin, when he saw Ye Wuchen standing in front of the gate with a look of surprise directed at him. He had a moment of stiffness to his expression, but he headed forward smiling.

“Wuchen greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty has the time to come to visit our Ye residence?” Ye Wuchen slightly bent at the waist. Tong Xin was hanging unmoving from his back, as if she was asleep.

Long Yin laughed, then nonchalantly said, “I came here naturally because of some matters. Oh? Who is this girl in your arms?”

Ye Wuchen somehow felt embarrassed, with a bit of shyness he said, “This is my newly adopted sister. She will be staying in our Ye residence from now on.”

“Oh…” Long Yin nodded, then smiled and said, “I have heard that the young master of the Ye Family is quite fond of very young girls. This rumor is indeed true, hahahaha!”

Ye Wuchen slightly smiled, but had no intend to explain.

That Ye Wuchen had survived this long filled Long Yin’s mind with suspicion. He knew that Tao BaiBai had already arrived this morning. Based on what a guard from the east city gate had reported, Ye Wuchen had been chased in that direction by Tao BaiBai.

But now he was safely standing here, even the clothes on his body was undamaged. What could this mean?

“Ah! It’s him! It’s him!”

A high pitched yell, followed by a young woman dressed in palace white robes jumping down from her palanquin. Standing beside Long Yin, she pointed at Ye Wuchen with an unruly face, “Father, it’s him… He was the one who bullied me that day!”

The Emperor’s had spread throughout the entire Ye Family by the guards at the gate. The members of the Ye Family had rushed out, including Ye Wuyun, only to see Princess Fei Huang hiding behind the Emperor and angrily looking at Ye Wuchen. For a moment, they thought the scene to be funny. They obviously knew of the prior conflict between Princess Fei Huang and Ye Wuchen.

After their greetings, they respectfully welcomed the Emperor and the Princess inside the Ye residence. Wang Wenshu asked with concern, “Chen-er, where were you? You didn’t even return home for lunch. I searched everywhere for you. And… who is this little one?”

Tong Xin was still hanging from his shoulders still in a very deep sleep.

“It’s nothing. I met an evil man and played for a while. I met this little girl in the eastern side of the city and she continued to follow me. She doesn’t have anywhere to go, so I brought her home to accompany Xue-er.” Ye Wuchen said nonchalantly.

“Oh? Evil man? What kind of evil man could dare to bully the Ye Family’s Young Master?” Long Yin said jokingly.

Ye Wuchen carelessly curled his mouth and said, “Some unimportant person. My teacher left me many enchanted devices to use to protect my life, so I wouldn’t be scared even if there comes one ten times more powerful than him.”

These words were obviously said for Long Yin to hear. Indeed, an alarming expression had flashed through his face momentarily, and he billowed internally.

Ye Wei seemed to have read between the lines, knitted his brows and said, “Chen-er, what happened? Someone tried to hurt you?”

Wang Wenshu upon hearing these words, suddenly felt nervous.

“As I’ve said, it’s nothing. Just a small fight, so no need to be worried.” Ye Wuchen carelessly said. He turned to face Long Yin and apologized, “As for the situation this morning, Ye Wuchen might have caused Your Majesty some inconvenience.”

Long Yin nodded, “Indeed you have brought me so much trouble. Ai, you should be blamed for this, who told you to be so outstanding? Even the daughter of General Hua has been so deeply in love with you. But it’s alright to give a pair of lovers a chance. It’s okay if I had to become a person who breaks promises just this once.”

Ye Wei immediately bent down and said, “Your Majesty, you words are serious. For your approval for my son, the Ye Family will be forever thankful for Your Grace. We will bear it deeply in our minds.”

“Hahahaha,” Long Yin waved a hand, “Just forget it. I just came with Huang-er to meet her future husband. You must treat my Huang-er well when she enters the Ye Family three years from now.”

Before Ye Wei could answer, Long Huang-er jumped as if she was pricked by a needle. Everybody expected her to yell “I don’t want to marry”, but Long Huang-er shouted words that surprised everyone.

“No! I don’t want to marry him after three years; I want to marry him now!!”

She stuck out a white and tender finger to point at Ye Wuchen.

Ye Wuchen could not help caressing his own face, mumbling to himself, ‘Was my charm so strong that it has reached this extent?’

After a long moment of silence, Long Yin asked probingly, “Huang-er, what did you just say?”

“I want to marry him now!” Long Huang-er repeated. Her face showed that she was acting rashly, and somewhat craftily.

Ye Wuchen looked at the small Princess with amusement. The smile on his face made Princess Fei Huang feel that he was a big grey fox staring at a tiny sheep.

“Hahahaha…” Long Yin laughed a while, then said, “Huang-er, didn’t I say it so? Upon seeing each other, you have agreed. But three years is three years. Even though I am more excited than you, there’s no such thing as little princess getting married at a very young age.”

“No, I just want to marry him, that way I can……”

“Absolutely not!”

Those of the Ye Family looked at each other with doubts. They were unclear on what was going on here.

“Then… can I come here to play more often?” Long Huang-er forced to her second choice, asked while she stared.
