Chapter 115 My Brother-in-Law
No one in Prince Cheng's residence was surprised that Consort Lan wanted to summon Ni Xiao.
Even as the palace servants stepped into the gates of Prince Cheng's residence, Ye Shijun received a hint and immediately found an excuse to leave Ni Xiao.
Upon hearing the palace servant announce the decree, Ni Xiao was flattered, but after glancing at Wen Yan and Wen Mo, she looked troubled. "I am quite nervous about entering the palace alone. Didn't the prince just leave? You should quickly call him back!"
Wen Yan bowed and said, "Miss Xiao'er, His Highness has urgent business to attend to and cannot be delayed."
“But I’m unfamiliar with the palace. What if something goes wrong?” Ni Xiao said unhappily.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiao'er, we will accompany you to the palace," Wenmo said, bowing slightly.
Ni Xiao stared at the two of them, her gaze shifting back and forth.
These two were Prince Seung's personal guards, and their constant presence was enough to prove how much Prince Seung valued her.
"Alright, then you can come with me to the palace!"
"Yes!"
And so, Wenyan and Wenmo escorted her onto the carriage sent by the palace.
The people in Lanxia Palace were very familiar with the two of them. Judging from their respectful manner towards Ni Xiao, they could understand without asking that Prince Cheng really cared a lot about this Miss Ni Xiao!
As soon as the palace carriage left, Ye Shishu, Yuchi Ling, Ye Shijun, and Gu Simo appeared outside the gate.
"Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to toy with this woman for a few more days?" Ye Shijun asked with a wicked grin.
Yu Chi Ling glanced at him sideways, "Is Second Brother-in-law addicted to acting? Or is he bewitched by her?"
Ye Shijun's smile froze instantly, then his handsome face darkened. He instinctively put his arm around Gu Simo's shoulder and shouted, "Don't joke around! I have a wife! And my wife is beautiful and capable. Even if I were blinded by a cow dung, I would never be bewitched by another woman!"
"Pfft!" Ye Shishu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Simo pinched his waist and scolded, "What do you mean by 'shit'? Can't you be a little more refined in front of the prince?"
Ye Shijun sneered with a long face, "I'm a rough man by nature, why should I learn to be refined? Besides, I sacrificed my male charms for them!"
Hearing his resentful words, Ye Shishu felt both embarrassed and at a loss.
Indeed, her second brother sacrificed a lot for them, she shouldn't have laughed...
Before she could speak, the prince said, "I have a Jade Kun Sword in my manor. It was forged by my grandfather when he was expanding the territory. I will give it to my second brother-in-law when I return from the palace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shijun's eyes widened suddenly, and his face, which had just been full of resentment, instantly broke into a wide grin. "Your Highness, are you serious? That was the late Emperor's personal sword!"
Yu Chi Ling glared at him, then put his arm around Ye Shi Shu and got into the carriage.
Ye Shijun laughed heartily, then put his arm around Gu Simo's shoulder and boasted, "Xin'er, see? This is my brother-in-law!"
Gu Simo was both amused and exasperated.
Lanxia Palace.
Consort Lan has been in high spirits these past two days, despite the rumors circulating outside.
When Yu Chisheng arrived, he saw her smiling and asked jokingly, "What makes you so happy?"
Consort Lan suppressed her smile and replied, "Your Majesty, I heard that the woman named Ni Xiao has been found. Ling'er suffered so much for her, and now Heaven has rewarded her efforts, allowing her to return to Ling'er's side. I am so happy for Ling'er!"
Yu Chisheng's gaze was fixed on her face, as if he couldn't see through her. "You have always been picky about Ling'er's marriage. You even think that the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion is not good enough for Ling'er. But you attach so much importance to a woman you have never met."
Consort Lan's expression stiffened slightly.
But soon, she said gently, "Your Majesty, Ling'er is my own son, and his preferences are the most important. As a mother, who wouldn't want their own flesh and blood to be happy and complete?"
Yu Chi Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Does my beloved consort mean that Ling'er cannot be happy and fulfilled if he marries the eldest daughter of the Ye family?"
Consort Lan retorted, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant! What makes me happy is that Ling'er now has Shu'er as his principal wife and his beloved by his side. It's truly a blissful and joyful time!"
Yu Chisheng sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "I heard that you summoned that woman to the palace. I was also very curious about her, so I came to see what made her so special that my son, who is both a man of great talent and ability, so infatuated with her."
Consort Lan sat down beside him and nodded dignifiedly in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty is also very curious, so I can't wait to see."
The two were unusually aligned on their son's matter, and were even chatting and laughing, which made the palace maids and nannies around them smile.
After waiting for about half an hour, a palace servant came to report that the person had arrived outside the gate of Lanxia Palace.
Yuchi Sheng summoned the people into the palace.
Where he couldn't see, Consort Lan secretly clenched her fists.
She didn't have a chance to personally inspect Ni Xiao; it was all handled by the Crown Prince outside the palace, so it was understandable that she wasn't at ease with him.
But when she watched the graceful woman, who possessed both purity and charm, enter the hall, she was completely at ease.
picture!
They look so alike!
If she hadn't known that the Crown Prince had specifically found this person and then had Hua Ping, a disciple of Huaxiang Pavilion, help her disguise herself, she would have suspected that this was the real Ni Xiao!
No wonder Prince Cheng was able to punish Ye Shishu. The man she had been longing for day and night and who had even contemplated suicide for was back. How could Ye Shishu possibly be favored anymore!
Led by palace attendants, Ni Xiao walked to the center of the hall and respectfully knelt before the emperor and empress on the main seat, saying, "This commoner Ni Xiao greets Your Majesty! Greetings to the Imperial Concubine! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Concubine!"
"Raise your head," Yu Chisheng said authoritatively.
Ni Xiao slowly raised her head, her eyes lowered, not daring to look directly at the king's posture.
Before Yuchi Sheng could speak again, Consort Lan smiled and said, "She is truly beautiful; no wonder Ling'er is so fond of her!"
Yu Chisheng glanced at her sideways, his brows furrowing slightly.
With looks like that, she's not even half as beautiful as Princess Cheng. How could she possibly praise her like that?
"Where is Prince Seung? Why didn't he accompany you to the palace?" he asked again seriously.
“Your Majesty, the Prince has gone to attend to important matters and is not in the residence,” Ni Xiao replied softly.
Yu Chisheng frowned even more deeply.
Although Princess Consort Seung does not visit the palace often, Prince Seung accompanies her every time she does. Most importantly, it is said that the couple is inseparable wherever they go.
Isn't this woman the one Prince Cheng has been longing for? After such a long separation, how could Prince Cheng bear to leave her alone in the mansion?
Just then, a palace servant came to report, "His Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, Prince Cheng, Princess Cheng, the Second Young Master of the Ye Family, and the Divine Physician Hua Xin are outside the palace."
Upon hearing this, Consort Lan covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Majesty, look, I was wondering why Prince Cheng hadn't come, and here he is!"
Yu Chi Sheng didn't answer her, but simply gestured with his chin towards the palace servants, "Summon them in!"
