Chapter 1213: Chapter 1210: Very Lucky
“Your Highness is not wrong, but what I have said is also the truth. If the truth can please Your Highness, then naturally it is good,” Ye Muyu found a clever way to put her words and made them sound pleasant. After all, who doesn’t love to hear compliments?
The Elder Princess huffed lightly, “You are indeed honest.”
Seeing that she had nothing more to say, Ye Muyu relaxed, accompanying her in drinking tea for a while and having some pastries.
The Young Prince had played until he was tired and walked over to the Elder Princess, his big eyes looking endearingly as he said, “Grandmother, Xiao Yi is tired of playing ball, may I go back to my room to read?”
“Reading isn’t tiring for you?” The Elder Princess reached out to stroke his cheek, using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Because of his play, Huo Yanyi’s little cheeks were flushed with a healthy pink, and he shook his head obediently, “Grandmother, I am not tired.”
“Then how about Xiao Yi takes a bath and changes his clothes, and waits in the room for Grandmother to come, would that be good?”
“Yes,” Huo Yanyi was then taken back by the nanny.
After he left, the smile on the Elder Princess’s face became restrained, “Madam Chu, accompany me for a walk.”
“…Yes.” No matter how many questions filled her heart, once she considered the status of the Elder Princess, she swallowed all of them into her belly. Whether the Elder Princess was in a hurry to see a doctor for the Young Prince was not something she should inquire about. Matters of the Royal Family were best heard and asked less about.
It seemed that the Elder Princess was also not in a hurry to say anything particular, only walking her around the garden, asking what she liked, how she lived in the countryside, and then leading her to the attic.
The Princess’ Mansion was the only residence of privilege allowed to have an attic built higher than the palace walls.
Standing on the attic, Ye Muyu, as a person from modern times, was momentarily stunned by the majestic view of the capital, where tiered pavilions soared into the sky.
“Please have a seat, lady,” the Elder Princess went to the viewing platform, where two chairs were placed and a table between them held steaming tea.
After thanking her, Ye Muyu approached and took a seat.
“Does the lady know the reason why I requested your presence today?”
Ye Muyu shook her head honestly, “I do not.”
“In truth, the treatment of Xiao Yi’s illness was merely a pretext,” The Elder Princess said her purpose directly, looking at her intently, “Lord Chu entrusted me to give you a show of respect.”
Ye Muyu looked at her in surprise, “Your Highness, you…”
“I would not dare,” Although she had intentions of taking the opportunity to form a connection with the Elder Princess, Ye Muyu was not insistent about it; she was more concerned with reassuring Chu Heng so that he could leave without worries—the more at peace he was, the better he would handle his affairs.
“No need to be nervous, since I have brought you up to this viewing platform, it is certain that I will fulfill Lord Chu’s request,” The Elder Princess said indifferently, her eyes scanning the tiered pavilions and terraces below.
“Do you know what conditions Lord Chu offered in exchange with me?”
Ye Muyu became even more unsure of the other party’s intentions. The questions were direct and sensitive. However… since the topics were sensitive, that indicated that Chu Heng must be capable of assisting the Elder Princess. No matter how others saw it, the Elder Princess was on her side. She could tell half-truths, but it wouldn’t be good to lie.
“My husband left in a hurry and did not mention it,” Ye Muyu shook her head.
The Elder Princess suddenly laughed, “You truly are a devoted lover.”
“You are very lucky,” The Elder Princess looked at her, her dignified and elegant face showing a trace of mocking amusement, “You can rest assured, I will not do anything to you.”
“Your Highness is overly concerned, I naturally trust Your Highness,” Ye Muyu replied.
After that, the Elder Princess no longer talked about those sensitive topics.
