Volume 1: Yun Family Has a Daughter Chapter 8 This Prince Looks Familiar (2)

  It was now late spring and early summer, the weather getting hotter by the day. The father and daughter had been sparring like this for a while, and were already drenched in sweat. Just as they were about to take a break, they saw Guan Ping, the chief steward of the Yun manor, hurrying over.

  "The old slave greets Master and the young ladies! Master, Prince Yu has arrived!" Guan Ping bowed respectfully with his hands clasped together.

  Guan Ping was a trusted confidant of Yun Zhongwu, and as such, he was appointed as the manager of the household. Fortunately, Guan Ping had a good way with people, so the servants and maids in the Yun household also treated him with great respect.

  "King Yu? What is he doing here?" Yun Zhan's face flashed with confusion.

  Yun Zhan's position is high and his power is heavy, he is the object of flattery for many people. Although he is a military general, he also knows some official ways, what the emperor dislikes most is that in daily life, he is not cold or hot to those individuals, never forming cliques or seeking personal gain, fearing that one careless move will bring great disaster.

  Although this King Yu is a talented person with the air of dominating the world, and he himself appreciates him very much, but apart from appreciation, he has no private dealings with King Yu. Today's visit really makes people puzzled.

  Momo, on the other hand, was very interested and came over. Having been in ancient times for so long, she had never seen a prince or princess before, nor did she know if this Prince Yu was as handsome and elegant as he was written to be in her previous life...

  Meng Meng was alone there, indulging in infinite daydreams, and didn't even notice when Lao Die left. When she came back to her senses, she slapped herself on the face in frustration and hastily went to the front hall...

  She quietly made her way to the front hall, where she saw several tall and imposing guards standing at the entrance with expressionless faces. Knowing it was not a good time to go in, she tiptoed over to the window on the south side, carefully opening it a crack. Her big black eyes peeked inside, only seeing her father's profile and a sharp-angled face that was partially hidden in the shadows.

  "General Yun is too modest! General, you defend the country and protect the family, and are a pillar of the northern snow. I, the king, have always admired you. Recently, the north has been plagued by drought, and the Turkic army is again restless. I want to discuss with you the strategy for marching and deploying troops, to share the worries of my father the emperor. Please, General, do not decline!"

  Momo, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but lose her mind slightly upon hearing this low and pleasant voice, and she didn't even know if his appearance was as beautiful as his voice. However, from what King Yu said, it seemed that he wanted to win over her father; otherwise, why would a dignified king personally visit their home and try every means to persuade him?

  Yun Zhan furrowed his brow, looking rather embarrassed.

  This King's thoughts are not unclear to him, now several older princes have come of age, each has been enfeoffed as a king, and already have the signs of contending for the throne, other kings have secretly suggested that he surrender, but he just pretends to be deaf and dumb to muddle through, he doesn't want to stir up trouble!

  But this Prince Yu is not like other princes, the current emperor is very fond of him. If it's the emperor's intention to come in person today, then he will definitely follow suit. However, if it's just Prince Yu's idea, then no matter what, I won't agree!

  "Your Majesty's praise is misplaced! I eat the salary you provide, and bear the worries you entrust to me! Protecting the family and defending the country are my bounden duty. I will certainly follow your sacred will with reverence and die in loyalty to Your Majesty!"

  The implication is clear: I am loyal only to the Emperor. If there is an imperial edict, I will certainly follow it!

  Bei Chen Yan saw Yun Zhan's unyielding expression, slightly displeased but not angry. He was very clear that only such a person could truly put one's mind at ease!

  Both of them were clever people, and since they didn't see eye to eye, they quickly changed the subject. After chatting for a while, King Yu bid farewell and left.

  As he left, he glanced out of the south-facing window with a profound and mysterious smile, then immediately looked away.

  Momo was stunned by that smile that made the sunlight lose its color! However, why did she feel that this King Yu had a familiar look? It seemed like she had seen him somewhere before, but where was it?

  It wasn't until her father stood in front of her with a stern face that Momo came back to herself, shaking her head regretfully and silently scolding herself for being useless. It was just a handsome face, after all?

  The fluffy dog is shaking its father's arm, and playfully sticking out its tongue!

  Yun Zhan saw the lovely appearance of his beloved daughter, and he had lost his temper long ago. He couldn't bear to blame Momo, so he just stroked her head and warned her not to do such things in the future.

  ……

  Out of the general's mansion gate, Beichen Ye rode his horse and shouted into the void: "Go check who it is!"

  Originally, Beichen Ye had already discovered someone under the window, thinking it was Yun Zhan secretly joining another camp, wanting to play some tricks, but seeing a flash of kindness in the other's eyes, knowing he overthought, so he hinted to Anwei not to take action.

  However, he was very curious about who could make Yun Zhan, who appeared to be strict and serious in the eyes of outsiders, reveal such emotions!

  As far as he knew, Yun Zhan was a filial son, very obedient to his mother and extremely doting on his first wife, but not so warm towards his children. Obviously, the person just now couldn't be Old Lady Yun or Madame Yun!

  If I can get something out of this person, then...

  At this thought, a hint of dark light flashed in Beichen Ye's eyes!
