Chapter 452 Ye Lanyi's Transformation
The more she chewed on these words, the brighter the light began to flicker in her eyes.
Although A Jin was talking about the horse, wasn't he also talking about himself?
At this moment, Ye Lanyi seemed to penetrate the fog that covered her eyes and saw herself who had been forced into the corner of her heart.
She should have been a wild horse galloping across the pasture, so why did she need to put a bridle on herself and tie herself up in knots?
After figuring it out, Ye Lanyi felt refreshed. She touched the child in her belly who was connected to her by blood, and thought to herself: Since the child was born in her belly, she should give birth to the child and raise him well.
It doesn’t matter if the child doesn’t have his father to love him. As long as she is his mother, she will never let him suffer any injustice.
The chestnut horse had a strong temperament. As soon as the steward led it out of the stable, it raised its hooves in dissatisfaction towards A Jin who disturbed its sleep.
Ah Jin, who was prepared, dodged the horse's attack, but the bag on his shoulder accidentally fell to the ground, and the items inside were scattered all over the floor.
The steward's face suddenly changed, and he whipped him hard as a punishment.
"Guard Jin, I'm sorry for my incompetence. I'll go get you a swift and gentle horse."
At this time, A Jin's attention was all on the small boxes scattered on the ground, and he shouted orders to the steward.
"Don't worry about that beast for now. Come here and help me hold the lantern."
The bundle contained gifts that the prince had ordered him to deliver to Lingyun Peak overnight to please Madam Zhen, and there must be no mistakes.
If this beast ruins his master's good deeds, he has his own way to deal with it.
Upon hearing this, the steward quickly threw the reins to the little follower and walked up to A Jin holding the lantern.
When he saw the small carved box on the ground, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the lantern in his hand.
A Jin opened the small boxes one by one and checked them carefully. Only after confirming that the items inside were intact did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Having learned his lesson, he patiently tied the package again, then took the reins and whip, jumped lightly onto the horse's back, and galloped away into the dark night.
The steward who stayed in the stable collapsed on the ground with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Guard Jin didn't say anything just now, so he shouldn't blame us."
The young steward stood up with the help of his nephew and scolded him harshly.
"What do you know? I just saw that Guard Jin's package contained small boxes from Zhuyan Tower and Linlang Pavilion. If anything inside is damaged, we can't afford the compensation even if we sell off everyone in our stable!"
"Uncle, you have always been lucky. It is God who blesses you." The little follower complimented him quickly and helped him walk out.
"Uncle, you said that Guard Jin ran out in the middle of the night with some women's things. Is our mansion going to have another master?"
The little follower asked curiously.
"Don't ask about these things, my boy. The master's affairs are not something we can ask about casually."
The young steward tapped his nephew's head lightly and said with regret.
"I heard that Concubine Ye is very good at training horses. If she had helped, the horse wouldn't have been so aggressive just now."
"Uncle, Concubine Ye is enjoying herself in the backyard, why would she come to help us train the horses?"
The servant smiled and broke his unrealistic fantasy.
"It's late at night, uncle and nephew should go back and rest."
Watching the light gradually disappear into the darkness, Ye Lanyi slowly stood up, holding on to the stone beside her.
She tiptoed around the stable, but did not reach out to touch the horses again.
Listening to the familiar sounds occasionally coming from the stable, Ye Lanyi's heart gradually calmed down.
She returned to Qiu Shui's yard in the dark without disturbing anyone.
Ye Lanyi felt like she had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by Dongmei.
"Master, it's time for you to leave your bed... Master, it's time for you to leave your bed..."
Ye Lanyi struggled to open her eyes, casually pushed aside the curtain, and asked drowsily, "Dongmei, what time is it now?"
"My Lord, it's about three quarters past the hour of Yin. The prince is going on a journey today, and the front yard is already busy. Do you want to go and see him off?"
Although Dongmei asked politely, her words had already made a decision for her.
Ye Lanyi took a deep breath and said, "Please help me wash up."
She has plenty of opportunities to deal with Dongmei, so there is no need to rush.
When Dongxue heard the noise in the house and rushed over, she found Dongmei was already putting makeup on her master.
She looked at Dongmei deeply. Yesterday, the prince clearly took into consideration the concubine's poor health and told her not to get up early to see her off.
Dongmei was there at the time, and it must have been her who took the initiative to wake up the master.
Dongxue looked at the dark circles under Ye Lanyi's eyes and asked for instructions in a gentle voice.
"Master, it's still early. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some cakes to fill your stomach, okay?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Lanyi, who was hungry, nodded slightly.
The person she chose was still considerate. She glanced at Dongmei, who was deliberately putting on makeup, with an ambiguous look, and slowly lowered her eyes.
"I'm getting a little tired of wearing turquoise earrings every day, so let's change into the crimson pair today."
Dongmei's face lit up when she heard this and she suggested with a smile.
"Master, you changed the color of your earrings. They don't match the turquoise palace dress you usually wear. Do you want to change your clothes too?"
"Let's just wear the red palace dress I wore for a while yesterday."
Ninety percent of the palace costumes in Ye Lanyi's boxes were blue and green, and the other more mature colors were also prepared for attending palace banquets.
It seems that she needs to buy some clothes of other colors to avoid being affected by seeing blue and green clothes.
Dongxue brought back red date porridge and yam and date paste cake to replenish blood and nourish qi.
While Ye Lanyi was eating leisurely, Dongmei kept glancing outside.
She pretended not to see it. After drinking the warm porridge, Ye Lanyi felt much better.
"I'm done. Let's go to the front yard."
As soon as Ye Lanyi finished speaking, Dongmei smiled and helped the person up.
"Master, I sent someone to the front yard in advance to tell you that you will go to see the prince off."
"Dongmei is so thoughtful. Having you by my side saves me a lot of trouble."
Ye Lanyi helped her walk out and sighed softly.
"I have someone as attentive as you to serve me, but when I think of the prince being alone outside with no one to care for him, I feel..."
She noticed Dongmei's eyes lit up and stopped talking.
When Dongmei heard that her master had no further news, she wanted to volunteer to accompany the prince and take care of him.
The little bit of sanity she had left stopped her from saying anything.
Dongmei has never forgotten how Concubine Ye made things difficult for Yuntongfang.
"Concubine, the Jin guards are looking after the prince, you don't have to worry. In the past, when the prince went out to travel, he only took the Jin guards and the coachman with him..."
She didn't know what was going on in her mind, but she kept telling Ye Lanyi about Prince Guo's past.
Prince Guo had just finished his breakfast when Ye Lanyi and his group arrived.
He looked at Ye Lanyi with a smile and said gently.
"Lan Yi, you came just in time. I bought you gifts from Zhu Yan Tower and Lin Lang Pavilion, and I was just asking the housekeeper to deliver them to you."
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
After expressing her gratitude, Ye Lanyi gestured for Dongxue to accept the gift.
The prince’s “intention” is really... hard to describe in words.
Was it because God couldn't bear to see her being deceived that he gave her the idea of going to the stable to see the horses at that time?
"Your Highness, why don't you see Guard Jin? I've always seen him always by your side."
Ye Lanyi looked around and asked deliberately.
Prince Guo came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I don't know when I'll return from this long journey, so I'll ask A-Jin to say goodbye to Mother on my behalf."
Ye Lanyi nodded with a smile and suggested in a gentle voice.
"Your Highness, the products of Zhuyan Tower and Linlang Pavilion are exquisite. Would you like to send some to Anqi Temple as a token of filial piety?"
"Lan Yi, my mother is in seclusion at Anqi Monastery, and these things are not suitable. I have arranged for the housekeeper to send some supplements. Your stomach is getting heavier, so don't worry about these trivial matters."
Prince Guo pinched her face affectionately and said, "You and the child wait for me in the palace."
"Okay, the child and I will be waiting for your safe return."
As soon as Ye Lanyi returned to Qiu Shui Courtyard, she claimed that her face was itchy and asked Dongxue to fetch water for her to wash.
If there is dirt on your face, just wash it off. The same goes for people!
