"Oh?" Ye Fuxun responded unhurriedly, his eyes glancing towards the three princesses.
She had seen the three princesses at Duke Ping's Mansion and recognized them at a glance. However, she and Ji Yannuo had changed their appearance that day, so the three princesses did not recognize her.
The eldest princess raised her chin slightly: "This princess is the eldest princess of Qi, and they are the third princess and the fourth princess respectively."
"The three princesses are polite." Ye Fuxun nodded slightly.
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes: "Concubine Ye won't invite us in?"
"I'm really sorry," Ye Fuxun curled his lips, "His Royal Highness has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave Mingyue Palace, so it is inconvenient to entertain all the princesses."
This was indeed Ji Yannuo's order, and it had already been notified to everyone in the Prince's Mansion. Therefore, although the Crown Princess led people to the Mingyue Palace just now, she was still stopped by the guards guarding the palace gate.
In order to feel at ease, Ji Yannuo had earlier asked Aunt Chang and Aunt Heping to carefully inspect Mingyue Palace. If people were let in easily, trouble might arise.
Not to mention the large group of women in front of him, Ye Fuxun could imagine that if Ji Yannuo were here now, he would be furious with a livid face.
Even the three princesses of Qi State are still like that.
"Having said it all, even we can't enter Mingyue Palace," Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, "let alone 'outsiders' like the three princesses."
The eldest princess turned her head and glanced at Ms. Zhang. Gu Yelan was absolutely right. Ms. Zhang was really a brainless fool!
She remembered the purpose of coming today, endured it and said loudly: "I'm afraid Ye Fangfei may have misunderstood, Ji Yannuo has lived with us for ten years in Qi State, it is not an exaggeration to say that we grew up together.
Now our new king of Qi has a close relationship with him."
"So after we came to the capital, we first came to visit the Prince's Mansion. We also wanted to meet the sisters so that we can get along better in the future."
The Crown Princess frowned. Not only her, but also the concubines beside her couldn't help but look at each other. What did the eldest princess mean by this? Will it be easy to get along with her in the future? Is it true that she really wants to marry her into the prince's house?
"Why can't I understand what the eldest princess is saying?"
A cold voice came from behind everyone, and the concubines hurriedly turned their heads to look.
"His Royal Highness is back!" Ji Yannuo glanced at the dark crowd with a stinking face, and strode towards Ye Fuxun.
He held Ye Fuxun's hand and asked her softly: "Why did you come out?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head quietly: "I am fine." The Crown Princess hurriedly told the story. Ji Yannuo looked at her and said, "You and others should leave first."
"Yes, Your Highness." The Crown Princess bent her knees, led the concubines and turned around to leave.
Although every heart was hanging in front of Mingyue Palace, wondering what the relationship between the three princesses and their Highnesses was, they had no choice but to obey His Highnesses' orders and could only leave with hatred.
Mrs. Zhang, in particular, walked the slowest, tugging at her handkerchief again and again, turning back three times with each step.
On the other side, Ji Yannuo looked at the three princesses of Qi coldly: "Bai Yi said you were staying at the embassy to rest, why are you here at my palace?"
Since Ji Yannuo appeared, the three princesses have not said a word. Their eyes fell on his handsome and upright body and they were reluctant to move away.
When Yannuo was serving as a hostage in Qi State, he attracted the attention of the princesses with his impeccable good looks.
After not seeing each other for more than three years, he is now more and more handsome, especially his innate noble aura, which makes people hold their breath involuntarily.
His eyes were deep, sharp, cold, arrogant and lonely.
The eldest princess looked at Ji Yannuo infatuatedly, and it took her a while to wake up.
The third and fourth princesses did not dare to speak and only poked her arm quietly. The eldest princess cleared her throat: "We only know you in the Yan Kingdom, so we thought of coming to the Prince's Mansion to visit."
Ji Yannuo's lips twitched slightly: "Since you've seen it, please come back."
"Wait a minute!" The eldest princess hurriedly called to Ji Yannuo, "Don't you ask why we followed the mission to the Yan Kingdom?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Ji Yannuo said coldly.
"We," the eldest princess gritted her teeth, "we have been together for ten years, and we have some kind of affection..."
"Love points?" Ji Yannuo smiled sarcastically, "The princess is talking about the feelings of whipping me with a whip?"
The third and fourth princesses changed their expressions upon hearing this, and quietly grabbed the eldest princess's sleeve: "Elder Princess..."
Although the eldest sister loved Ji Yannuo wholeheartedly, she was really cruel to Ji Yannuo back then.
Back when I saw the eldest sister whipping Ji Yannuo, the sound of the whip could make them tremble with fear.
Now that he suddenly came looking for her, it was natural that Ji Yannuo would be angry, but the eldest princess didn't want to leave like this.
After finally meeting the person she longed for, she couldn't bear to leave.
"This princess can explain what happened back then." She gritted her teeth and said.
As the eldest princess of the Qi Kingdom, she had been favored since she was a child. She studied martial arts with many royal brothers, and her temperament developed into a coquettish and domineering one.
In order to attract Ji Yannuo's attention, she did not hesitate to use various means, but it seemed to have no effect.
Until Ji Yannuo fled Qi and returned to Dayan, he became the crown prince of Dayan and gradually became famous. Then he led the army to recapture five cities and became famous all over the world.
In these few short years, the eldest princess of Qi has never missed any news about Ji Yannuo.
It's a pity that the two countries are too far apart, and she can't see anyone no matter how much she misses her. She once thought that if she couldn't be with Ji Yannuo in this life, she would never marry.
But before her father died, he said that Yan Qi would sign a hundred-year peace treaty. At that time, the candle in her heart that had been extinguished for a long time began to rekindle.
She asked for the marriage proposal and arrived at Dayan smoothly. Now that Ji Yannuo was in front of her, the eldest princess of Qi didn't want her long wait and efforts to be in vain.
"I know you hated me for being so cruel to you back then, whipping you with a whip every now and then to punish you..." The eldest princess's eyes gradually turned red, "But I actually did that to protect you."
"Do you still remember the first time I whipped you?" said the eldest princess. "That time the royal brothers asked you to throw hundreds of arrows into a pot. If you missed even one arrow, they would give you a whip."
"I asked for the consent of the royal brothers and said that I would be the one to punish you. Actually, I was afraid that you would be beaten too hard by the royal brothers."
"You were hit ninety times by a hundred arrows. I whipped you ten times in response to the commotion of the royal brothers, but I stopped on the sixth whip. I lied that the whipping made me soft, and kicked you in anger to drive you away. In fact, I didn't want you.
Suffer more."
"Since then, has there ever been a time when I didn't stand up because the royal brothers wanted to punish you?"
The eldest princess looked at Ji Yannuo aggrievedly, "Can't you understand my good intentions?"
Ji Yannuo twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered: "Sorry, I can't understand this. If the eldest princess has nothing else to say, Xu An, see you off."
Eunuch Xu quickly stepped forward and showed off his guests.
