Chapter 202 The Gao Family's Young Master is Imprisoned
"Princess, look at this tree." Lihua pointed to a tree not far away.
Before she finished her words, Qiao smiled and said, "This tree is a Podocarpus that my husband bought from Lincheng for three hundred taels."
Lihua continued, "It looks just like the pine tree on the hillside next to our country house."
Qiao's smile froze: "There is a big difference between pine trees and Podocarpus."
"It is very big." Ye Tang looked at the tree seriously. "The shape of this tree is not as beautiful as the one on my mountain. There are so many trees on my mountain. My eighth cousin's wife would dig a few trees from my mountain every time she went there."
Qiao and Gao Yuman immediately realized that the eighth cousin she was referring to was Princess Xian.
Princess Xian has a keen eye, and the pine tree she chooses must be extraordinary.
Qiao didn't dare to show off anymore.
The group continued to stroll around, and Ye Tang saw a few more orchids: "There are also such orchids in my hometown. I planted a lot of them in the yard."
Gao Yumen glanced at the orchid she was talking about. It was the Jade Rabbit Colorful Butterfly Orchid that his grandfather had bought at a high price. When the flower bloomed, its fragrance was comparable to that of ointment.
This kind of flower is quite rare, and there are only a few of them in the whole capital. Yet Ye Tang had the audacity to say that this kind of flower can be found in the countryside where she lives, and that she has planted a lot of it herself.
It's totally nonsense. I'm afraid what she planted isn't weeds!
"Is that the library? It looks so huge!"
"Is this... the stable? That horse is so handsome! I want to ride it!"
When Qiao and Gao Yuman heard this, their hearts trembled. The horse that Ye Tang was talking about was Gao Yi's exclusive mount and his favorite horse. No one was allowed to touch it, not even Gao Yuman, his most favored granddaughter.
If Ye Tang really wanted to go horseback riding, would they stop him or not?
"Forget it, I'd better not ride it. My riding skills are too bad. The prince will be sad if I fall and get hurt." Ye Tang sighed.
Gao Yuman and Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Tang continued to move forward.
"There's a flower pond over there. Huh? There are fish too! They're koi, really big and fat koi." Ye Tang swallowed.
Seeing that she wanted to go into the water to catch fish, Gao Yuman quickly said, "Princess, this fish is for viewing. It can't be eaten, and it doesn't taste good."
Ye Tang muttered, "It doesn't taste good because you are not good at cooking. If I were to cook, hehe, I would definitely make the koi fish a delicacy."
She asked Gao Yuman: "Can you cook?"
Gao Yuman shook her head: "No."
She was the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She had everything she needed and did not need to cook for herself. She could just let the servants do the menial work.
Ye Tang said: "If you can't cook, how can you capture the heart of the Ninth Prince? As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. My prince was conquered by my cooking skills."
Gao Yuman smiled wryly: "The Ninth Prince is different from the Pingshan Prince."
How can Xiao Jingxuan, a vulgar person, be compared with the Ninth Prince?
Ye Tang pretended not to understand: "Yes, they are different. The Ninth Prince is not as handsome as my prince."
Gao Yuman wanted to say that Ye Tang was too superficial and only cared about a man's appearance, but when she thought about it calmly, she realized that Ye Tang was right. The Ninth Prince was indeed not as handsome as Xiao Jingxuan. At the palace banquet that day, no man's appearance could compare to Xiao Jingxuan.
But men should rely on their strength, not their looks.
"What the princess said is true. Prince Pingshan's appearance is indeed rare in the world."
Ye Tang smiled smugly.
Gao Yuman and Qiao looked at each other, and felt more and more that Princess Ye Tang was unworthy of her position and extremely vulgar.
Ye Tang took out a cloth bag, poured out the hawthorn candies inside, and gave them to Gao Yuman and Qiao: "This is a snack that the princess made herself, you can have a try."
Gao Yuman and the other two were disgusted in their hearts, but seeing Ye Tang staring at them, they did not refuse and put the hawthorn candies into their mouths.
Hawthorn candy tastes sweet and sour, and the flavor is just right, not too sour or too sweet, and not greasy at all.
The perfect taste surprised Gao Yuman and the others, and they couldn't help but praise it for being delicious.
Ye Tang smiled even more happily: "This princess is a great cook. We are all family. If you want to eat delicious food in the future, you can go to the Pingshan Palace. This princess will treat you."
"Thank you, Princess."
After walking for a while, Gao Yuman and Qiao suddenly felt uncomfortable in their stomachs.
Gao Yuman blushed: "Princess, Yuman wants to go to the bathroom. Excuse me!"
As soon as she left, Qiao also used the excuse of going to the bathroom, leaving only a big maid to lead the way for Ye Tang.
Ye Tang waved his hand: "Go, go."
After Qiao left, only a maid was left in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ye Tang walked more casually.
"That maid, your name is Xianglan, right? Walk faster, you are too slow!"
Ye Tang and Lihua strode forward, and Xianglan behind them could not keep up no matter what. Soon, at a bend, she could no longer see Ye Tang and Lihua.
"Princess Pingshan, sister Lihua!" Xianglan shouted anxiously, "Where are you? Wait for me!"
Xianglan looked for someone everywhere.
Ye Tang and his servant walked around and came to a yard.
There are two guards guarding here.
"Who are you? This is the forbidden area of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please leave immediately." Even though they saw that Ye Tang was dressed elegantly and knew at a glance that she was not an ordinary person, the two guards still drove her away coldly and ruthlessly.
"There are forbidden areas in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ye Tang not only did not leave, but also moved closer and said: "This looks like an ordinary courtyard, not a forbidden area at all! Aren't forbidden areas very mysterious?"
"Don't come over here, leave quickly!" The guards frowned.
Lihua said angrily, "How dare you! The one standing in front of you is Princess Pingshan. How dare you disrespect Princess Pingshan? Do you want to die?"
Upon hearing this, the two guards were so shocked that they knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Princess Pingshan. We are the eldest young master's guards and are responsible for guarding this place. We did not know Princess Pingshan's identity and were very presumptuous. Please forgive us, Princess Pingshan."
Ye Tang waved his hand: "Get up! Ignorance is not a crime."
She smiled and said to the two guards, "This princess will not go in, but can you tell me why you, as the young master's guards, are guarding here?"
Before the two guards could answer, the sound of heavy objects colliding was heard in the house.
"Let me out!"
"I want to go out!"
Ye Tang was stunned and pointed at the room: "Is this the voice of Master Gao? Is he locked in the room?"
"The eldest young master is ill and should not see outsiders. My master has no other choice but to lock him up."
"Princess, you'd better leave quickly! If the young master goes crazy, no one can stop him. It would be bad if he hurts you!"
As soon as the two guards finished speaking, the banging noise in the room became louder and louder. With a bang, the window was smashed by a stool and a man climbed out of the window.
