Initial Volume Heaven Descends Trouble ☆ and Dear Princess Chapter 30 By Him Making a Ruckus (Revised)
On the second day after the end of the hunt at Jiuding Mountain, envoys from both Xiao and Cang countries entered the palace without prior arrangement to bid farewell to Emperor Ye and rushed back to their respective countries.
However, at this time, the sudden visit of the southern country did not attract the attention of the Xiao and Cang countries. It was as if something major had really happened between the Xiao and Cang countries, so that they couldn't even spare a thought for the southern country, with all their minds focused on rushing back and forth.
Regarding the departure of the two envoys from Xiao Cang, Ye Huang did not utter a word to retain them. The uncle of the Southern Kingdom came in a grand manner, and after listening to Yixin's attitude towards this matter, Ye Huang naturally became a shopkeeper who pushed everything onto Ye Juechen.
Although the emperor knew in his heart that every imperial family was openly and secretly fighting, the harem was constantly bloody and stormy, with all kinds of conspiracies emerging one after another, but among his princes and princesses, there had never been a reality of fratricide.
He had seven sons and three daughters. He loved his three daughters equally, never showing any bias or favoritism towards them. The three girls, although having different personalities and ways of handling things, all shared a kind heart and were not ruthless or cruel people.
When the ninth princess of Nanhuang, Yixin, was sent to Hezhou as a peace offering, Ye Huang ordered the spies hiding in Nanhuang to send back all the information they had about this peace-offering princess. Some things were unimaginable - how did she manage to survive in the Nanhuang palace where people didn't even spit out bones?
When he first met her, that girl gave him a kind of inexplicable intimacy, wanting to understand her and dote on her, just like spoiling his own daughter.
Goodbye to her, even if she is shrouded in mystery, it cannot stop his fondness for her, and for the first time, he truly acknowledges her as his daughter-in-law.
Ye Huang believed that Yixin would be the woman who walked into Ye Juedi's heart, and they would also be a very well-matched golden boy and jade girl.
It never occurred to Ye Huang that Yexin Ran, who seemed simple and reckless, actually had a clever mind. She had long seen through her position and understood the intention behind Nan Huang granting her the title of First-Rank Imperial Princess of Guo Nation, and even guessed their suspicions about her.
But she never mentioned it, that radiant and resplendent smile, sunny and bright, how much pain and bitterness was contained in it.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness, the Princess." The little eunuch bowed his head respectfully and asked after her well-being in a deliberately low voice that still broke into Nü Huang's furrowed brow and deep contemplation, the profound black pupils momentarily lost before clearing up again.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Come here, Xiao'er." The bright yellow dragon robe was even more dazzling in the sunlight, with a golden crown holding back his hair. Despite the passage of time, Night Emperor's sharp and angular features still showed that he had been incredibly handsome when he was young.
A pale purple high-collared long dress, with a trailing silk skirt, showcased her slender and elegant figure under the moonlight. A jade hairpin in a dark green color was inserted at an angle into her black hair, and her oval face was flawless, with a hint of red on her pale skin. A small red plum blossom adorned her forehead, making her truly stunningly beautiful.
"The son greets the emperor and wishes him good fortune and safety." Under the moonlight, Yuexi's elegant figure bowed slightly as she entered the imperial study. The eunuch in charge said that the emperor was taking a stroll in the imperial garden, so she came to try her luck, not expecting to actually run into him.
The garden is very big, and if she's not careful, she might have arrived already, but Ye Huang has left.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Father Emperor." Ye Yuexiao wasn't a slow and sloppy little woman either. After standing up, her pink lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "Father Emperor, I want to go out of the palace to see Jiu'er. By the time the hunt is over, her body should have fully recovered too."
Carefully observing the changes in Ye Huang's expression, seeing Ye Huang open his mouth, he let out a sigh of relief, and continued: "Jiǔér is also not friends with anyone here, if Jiǔér..."
"Haha, so you're not here to see the Emperor, but to get out of the palace." Ye Huang laughed out loud, and didn't know how long it had been since he'd seen Ye Yuemo so angry.
If it weren't for what happened back then, his descendants might not be...
"Your Majesty, just tell me whether you agree or not." The smile on Ye Yuexiao's face disappeared instantly, her bright eyes staring at Ye Huang, anyway she just wanted to leave the palace.
It's been many days since I last saw Jiǔér, and I'm missing her terribly.
Nor did she know what poison that girl had put on her body, making her so worried.
"Jiuer, that little girl, both the Emperor and Empress Dowager like her very much. You have a good relationship with her, it's a good thing." Growing up in such a gloomy environment, Yixin still maintained her pure side. Ye Huang was deeply fond of her and said in a low voice: "The Emperor allows you to stay at the War King's mansion for a few days, don't get too carried away."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuexing's heart skipped a beat with joy, and he nodded repeatedly. His watery eyes curved into a crescent shape, "Your Majesty can rest assured, I still know my limits."
She has been cooped up in the palace for too long and needs to get some fresh air outside.
Living in the War King's mansion is more convenient than living in the imperial palace, she can go out whenever she wants to take a walk, but trying to get out of the palace gates is a rare and headache-inducing experience for her.
"Go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I, your subject, take my leave."
Watching the night moon disappear into the distance, Emperor Ye turned around and stepped down from the stairs. A small eunuch immediately came forward and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince is still waiting in the imperial study."
"Return to the imperial study."
"Yes."
The hem of the dragon-embroidered robe swept past the peony leaves, and Ye Huang had already taken large strides away, with the little eunuch closely following behind, not even daring to breathe heavily, really unable to understand why the Emperor deliberately treated the Crown Prince coldly.

War King Mansion · Xuan Yue Pavilion
"It's better to smile when painting, but it's not pretty to be dazed." Yixin was biting a banana in her mouth, her sparkling eyes staring at the koi swimming back and forth in the pool, her feet dangling lightly, beautiful like an elf in the mountains.
"Hehe." Xue Qi covered her mouth and giggled, echoing Yixin's words, teasingly saying: "Indeed, Bookworm Sister looks a bit silly when she's dazed."
With a burst of laughter, several maids who were waiting beside Yixin couldn't help but laugh at Xuezhao's lively tone.
The six maids had been together for so long that they had become very familiar with each other, and their relationships were good. This was also what Yixin liked to see. She had originally planned to take the beautiful scenery, music, chess, books, and paintings as her own, and now she was not far from success.
"Princess, you're also teasing me." Biting her lip, a faint blush appeared on her pale and delicate face, truly captivating.
Yi Xinchuan's eyes curved into a smile, and from the very beginning, she had taken a liking to these four maids. Firstly, it was because of their appearance, which was pleasing to the eye; secondly, she felt that they didn't have any ill intentions towards her. Although their master was Ye Juedu, after spending some time together, Yi Xinchuan dared to confirm that their hearts had already leaned towards her.
It takes time and effort to cultivate a new confidant, and the six in front of her are all top-notch in every aspect. Why bother seeking far when you can grasp what's near? Holding on to them is the best strategy.
"I know you're worried that having Uncle Guo stay outside the mansion would be inappropriate and invite gossip."
"That old thing is so shameless. Whenever the princess doesn't see him, all sorts of rumors detrimental to the princess spread throughout the city. I think he's just not well-intentioned."
As soon as this was mentioned, the faces of several girls suddenly turned ugly, and they couldn't help but want to kick that old man a few times to vent their anger.
"It's because of his antics that I'm not worried; if he weren't making a fuss, then I'd be concerned."
If he doesn't make a fuss, calmly engages in a war of attrition with her, Yixin will have to be careful. Day by day, wearing down his patience, without her even thinking about it, his true nature will reveal itself.
