Chapter 123 Angry
Is it a good thing to enter the palace and serve as a training partner for the Crown Prince?
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh. Liu Xueying was so excited, she must have already heard some rumors and knew the inside story. She also knew that entering the palace to accompany someone for training sounded like a favor, but it was actually a punishment.
Moreover, the palace was a place that Liu Xueying had no control over and was also an extremely dangerous place, so she would naturally be worried.
“She was turned down by her father, so naturally she won’t give up easily and will definitely find a way to save her son.”
"That's good." Ye Qing'an's eyes curved into a smile. "That way, she definitely won't have the time to target me. It's better for her to be busy..."
Zi Xiao nodded: "That's true."
She then lowered her voice and said, "I share a room with Furong. Last night, I was awakened by a nightmare and saw Furong quietly leave the room."
“I was afraid of being discovered by her, so I didn’t dare to follow her. I don’t know where she went.”
"Furong?" Ye Qing'an was confused for a moment before she came to her senses. Liu Xueying had sent her four maids before, and Furong must be one of them.
"Where else could they go? Since they're Liu Xueying's people, they should naturally go to see Liu Xueying secretly."
Ye Qing'an raised her hand to smooth the hair that had fallen down her temple: "I just don't understand, has something happened in my courtyard recently? What could possibly make her risk being discovered to report it in the middle of the night?"
Zixiao shook her head: "This servant doesn't know either. It's just that recently, the madam hasn't given this servant any information."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "The others aren't fools either. They've seen that I often have you by my side and have you serve me personally, so they must understand."
"You don't need to try to get any information out of them. I reckon they don't know much either. Let's not fall into Liu Xueying's trap."
Zixiao understood the meaning behind Ye Qing'an's words and simply nodded: "This servant understands."
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers on the table: "Logically speaking, there should be someone in the family of an important official in the court who is a concubine or imperial consort in the palace. Don't we have one in our household?"
The greater the power, the greater the ambition, and the more cautious one becomes.
Most of the high-ranking officials in the court wished they could place their own people in various places throughout the court, and naturally, the position next to the emperor's pillow was indispensable.
“Yes, there is.” Zi Xiao looked at Ye Qing’an with some surprise, as if she was surprised that she would ask such a question: “Consort Jing is the master’s own sister.”
Ye Qing'an was taken aback, then remembered.
Yes, Ye Qinghao did indeed have a younger sister who entered the palace, but when she left the Ye family four years ago, that person was still a Jieyu (a concubine rank). That's why she hadn't thought of this matter when Zixiao mentioned Consort Jing several times.
If that's the case, then it's no wonder.
No wonder Consort Jing arranged for the Fifth Prince to be betrothed to Ye Weilan.
No wonder Ye Qinghao didn't stop him, and Ye Weilan didn't refuse.
Since she is Ye Qinghao's own sister, with an unbreakable blood relationship, the Emperor should agree.
After all, it would be better to marry Ye Weilan directly to the Fifth Prince than to marry her to the son of another important official in the court.
But why would Ye Qinghao send Ye Zirui to the Crown Prince's side? What was he planning?
Ye Qing'an secretly pondered this, but then smiled leisurely: "If that's the case, then even if Liu Xueying doesn't say anything, I'm afraid Consort Jing will find a way to mediate."
But if that's the case, then it's not easy for her to scheme against it.
"Miss, should I find a way to keep an eye on the main courtyard?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "Since she already knows you are one of my people, she will definitely be on guard in secret. If she wants people to know something, the entire Ye family will know it, so there's no need to inquire. If she doesn't want people to know something, you won't be able to find out even if you try."
No sooner had Ye Qing'an finished speaking than a commotion was heard, seemingly coming from the direction of the east wing?
Ye Feiran?
Ye Qing'an stood up and went out of the room. She saw Granny Wei peeking into the east wing through the hanging flower door: "What happened?"
Granny Wei quickly replied, "I don't know. It seems the Second Young Master lost his temper with the pageboy serving him. I don't know what happened."
A pageboy?
Ye Qing'an walked over and saw Ye Feiran standing under the eaves with a face full of anger. The page boy stood in the courtyard with his head down, his face flushed, and several books were scattered at his feet.
"What's going on now?" Ye Qing'an frowned. "Can't you have a single day of peace and quiet in this courtyard?"
Ye Feiran was already annoyed, and hearing Ye Qing'an say this made her even angrier: "Quiet? What do you mean, quiet? I want some peace and quiet too! But what can I do if someone insists on making me angry?"
After saying that, he turned around and went inside, slamming the door shut with a loud bang. The door trembled slightly and tilted to one side.
"The second young master's temper is a bit too fiery. Miss is, after all, his own sister. How can he treat her like this?"
Ye Feiran seemed to have heard Wei Mama's words from inside the door, and his furious voice came out: "This is my attitude, what can you do to me? Who do you think you are? You dare to talk bad about me? Believe me, if you piss me off, I'll come out right now and throw you off the wall?"
Having witnessed Ye Feiran's anger before, Granny Wei knew he was telling the truth. She trembled and dared not utter a sound.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the pageboy: "What's going on?"
The pageboy's eyes darted around erratically, looking guilty. His gaze kept drifting to the books lying on the ground, yet he seemed afraid of being discovered by Ye Qing'an: "It was my fault for making the Second Young Master angry."
The pageboy hurriedly knelt down: "If Miss wants to punish someone, then punish me. I did not serve my master well and made her unhappy. It is only right that my master is angry."
He admitted his mistake quickly, but he didn't mention a word about why Ye Feiran was angry. He acted as if he had been wronged but was still trying his best to take the blame.
If Ye Qing'an didn't know what this pageboy did on a daily basis, she would probably have been fooled by him.
"So, what exactly caused the Second Young Master to get angry?"
The page boy bit his lip and lowered his voice: "I just advised the second young master to read more books, but who would have thought that he would suddenly get angry and throw all the books out of my hands."
so?
Why is he so guilty?
Granny Wei seemed to have been misled, saying, "You were only trying to do what's best for the Second Young Master, how can he be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Ye Qing'an remained silent, simply walking over and bending down to pick up a book from the ground.
“Miss…Miss, those are the Second Young Master’s books. They are all basic books, and I’m sure you’ve already read them.”
Ye Qing'an glanced at the book title on the cover: "The Great Learning? I have indeed read it before."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he still turned the pages of the book without being moved.
