Led by the Prince to Gu Jian’s courtyard, after handing him over to his own master, Daohua went to the kitchen herself.
It was her adoptive father’s first visit, and she ought to entertain him well.
...
That day, the Prince left Four Seasons Manor with a displeased expression and he did not lighten up even as he entered the city.
Huai En watched his master carefully and hesitated before asking, "Master, did the young county mistress do something to displease you?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The Prince huffed, "Yan Girl is fine, but her master, that old man, really doesn’t know how to play along. I wanted a few pots of Mo Ju, and he outright refused me without mercy—truly infuriating."
Huai En suggested, "Why not talk to the young county mistress in private?"
The Prince’s eyes brightened, then he shook his head, "Yan Girl is very obedient to her master, I’m afraid she would not agree." After saying that, he lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the Imperial Palace."
Half an hour later, the Prince strode into the Qianqing Palace.
The Emperor had just finished handling state affairs and was relaxing with some writing. Seeing the Prince coming, he glanced at the clock beside him and asked with a smile, "Visiting the palace at this hour, do you want to scrounge for dinner here?"
The Prince shook his head with a smile, "Your brother here wouldn’t dream of it. I visited Yan Girl’s Four Seasons Manor today and had quite a feast; I’m not hungry in the slightest. Brother Emperor, you can save a dinner tonight."
The Emperor’s hand paused in his writing, looking up at the Prince, "You went to Four Seasons Manor?"
The Prince nodded with a smile, "It was a coincidence. I went to the Imperial Temple to find the abbot, happened to run into Yan Girl and her master, and she invited me to visit the manor."
Saying this, he looked at the Emperor.
"Brother Emperor, do you know Yan Girl’s master?"
The Emperor nodded, weighed his words, and said, "The old gentleman has treated my illnesses before."
Hearing that the Emperor indeed knew Gu Jian, the Prince immediately became spirited, "Brother Emperor, does that old man show the same disrespect to you?"
