Chapter 174 - Means of Meaning

When they arrived at the palace, the carriage stopped at the entrance, and a few royal disciples slowly arrived as well.

The three of them got off the carriage, Situ Yuanwan held onto Ye Han's arm and slowly walked into the palace.

Yu Er followed behind Yun Qin and let out a soft "Tch" sound. Seeing that her Princess was interested in the New Year's Eve feast, her gaze kept on looking elsewhere.

Upon entering the jade palace, Yun Qin saw many familiar faces.

As it was New Year's Eve, the s of the various palace maids were dressed in extremely formal and gorgeous palace uniforms of all colors. However, when they saw Yun Qin's attire, their expressions changed, some had shock, some had admiration, and some were secretly jealous.

Because the main show would be at night, after eating a simple lunch at noon, some people would return to their own palaces, and some would even gather together to play games. A girl around fourteen or fifteen years old with a snow-white face wearing a light yellow palace attire would walk towards Yun Qin, smiling as she said: "Elder Sister Princess, your clothes are really beautiful."

Yun Qin looked at her strangely, as she did not know how to address her. Then, Yu Er whispered into her ear, "This is Qi Fei's Seven Princess s."

Yun Qin laughed and said, "Haha, the Seven Princess s have eyes, thank you."

"We are playing Throwing Pot, does Elder Sister Princess want to join us?" Ever since she was young, she had loved beautiful clothes. She wanted to become a elderflower herb in the future, and make many beautiful clothes for her. She heard from mother that Elder Sister Princess was just a elderflower herb, and in the capital, there was even a shop.

Yun Qin was originally a happy person, plus someone had asked her to do so, she was naturally extremely happy. She said to Ye Han: "You guys go back first, I'll play with them for a while."

After he finished speaking, he left with the seven Princess s without waiting for Ye Han's consent.

These princes of the Princess all knew that Yun Qin had joined them and were a little afraid. They normally heard their own mother mention how the three emperors could not be offended. Hence, when they looked at the three royal sister-in-law s, they were a little restricted.

He originally thought that Princess was someone who had a lot of airs, but after getting along with him, he soon got to know him.

These princes and sons were from the weak to the loose, there were all kinds of them, but they never thought that the two brothers were so close. The two Princess s had good personalities, so they weren't as unreasonable as Ye Ya.

Due to their relationship with the Third Consort of Yun Qin, the older princes had to take care of her.

When she got tired of playing, Yun Qin prepared to go back to the Shi Li Zhu Palace. The seven Princess s held her hand reluctantly and said, "Elder Sister Princess, let's play together when you're free."

"Alright."

"Qin Er likes the clothes made by the Elder Sister Princess. Can Big Sis teach Qin Er how to make clothes in the future?" Ye Jing blinked her eyes and looked at her expectantly.

Yun Qin suddenly understood, no wonder she felt that although the little girl was looking at him, her gaze was not on her face. Her eyes were filled with her own clothes, so it turned out that she liked beautiful clothes.

"Alright, I promise you that I will teach you when I have the chance in the future."

"Thank you, Elder Sister Princess." The first time she laid eyes on this elder sister, she felt that she was extremely easy to get along with. The mother's words were indeed true.

As usual, the New Year's Feast was placed in the imperial garden, and the Imperial Garden was right beside the Jade River. Yun Qin and the rest walked along the Jade River, only to see many palace maids placing flower lanterns and placing wishes on them. They arrived at the imperial garden, and saw Ye Qun, dressed in white robes at a short distance from him.

Being surrounded by the two Princess s, Ye Qun seemed to be well-liked by the two little Princess s. With her sharp eyes, the Seven Princess s noticed Yun Qin first and ran in front of him.

Yun Qin could see that she was a little afraid of Ye Han. She bent down and asked: "Are you afraid of royal brother?"

In front of Ye Han, how could Ye Jing dare to nod her head? He shook her head and denied it like a rattle drum.

Yun Qin said: "Don't be afraid, with Elder Sister Princess here, he won't hurt you."

Ye Han creased his eyebrows slightly as he bent down and asked Ye Jing, "Does this king look fierce?"

Ye Jing was a smart child, so she shaked her head against her conscience.

"Good boy." Ye Han praised her as he entered the banquet with his hands behind his back.

Ye Jin pulled Yun Qin to the side, gesturing for her to lower her head, and she said: "I'll tell you in secret, don't tell my royal brother, I'm actually a little afraid of him."

"Why should I be afraid?"

"mother said that royal brother is being pampered, and that his family is also quite influential in the imperial court. There are also royal brothers that do not smile, so …"

"Oh ~ Then I'll make him gentler from now on." Yun Qin laughed.

"I've heard that Imperial Brother's favorite royal sister-in-law is him. Would he really listen to the royal sister-in-law's words?"

"We have to listen even if we don't want to." said with a smile. She had plenty of ways to make Ye Han listen, after all she was pregnant with a child in her womb. Could it be that she would make him face the child in the future?

"Alright, the banquet is about to begin. Quickly go back." Yun Qin said, as she watched the seven Princess return to her own seat, she also turned and took her seat.

Situ Yuanwan said. "Looks like the relationship between Little Sister Princess and the Seven Princess s is not bad."

Yun Qin pursed her lips and did not say a word.

The Emperor came and said a few words of pleasantries, and everyone successively toasted him with some joyous words. The New Year's Eve feast was only half over.

The Emperor suddenly spoke up, "Although it's the new year, there are those who are happy and those who are worried. The north has been restless recently, and the people at the border are not living in peace. We really need someone who is able to calm the war at the north." While he was speaking, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept across Ye Han.

Ye Han lowered his eyes and drank his wine, unaware.

The saw that the Emperor's gaze was lingering on Ye Han again, and was extremely worried in his heart. The Northern Frontier has always been the concern of the Heavenly Dragon Country, and if he could get rid of this worry, it would be a great achievement. The royal father wanted to send Ye Han there, and if Ye Han really did go, wouldn't he give up the throne?

Gritting his teeth, Crown Prince ignored the fact that the Kindred is too arrogant.

The moment Crown Prince said this, everyone sighed in their hearts. The hand which Queen used to pour the emperor the wine also trembled, and accidentally spilled the wine out. I heard that he used troops like a god and was extremely scheming, how could Crown Prince, a person who only knew how to talk on paper the whole time, handle it?

Hearing that, the emperor chuckled. "You? It's already a good thing that you don't want to cause trouble for us. This matter is extremely important, and we can't tolerate your nonsense.

The veins on his forehead throbbed. Why was the royal father so biased? Annoyed, he sat down and drank a few glasses.

Yun Qin, who was sitting opposite to Crown Prince, looked at him with a look of schadenfreude when he saw that he had lost.

She ate a prawn and listened to the emperor stress the need for someone with ability to do it. She bit her chopsticks and peeked at the emperor with her eyes, suddenly understanding the meaning behind his words.
