Chapter 103: Meeting Again (1)
Yinyin arrived at the [Zhao State] and entered the royal city. As soon as she arrived, she was immediately welcomed by Zhao Ziyin to the [General's Mansion]. The speed was so fast that Yinyin had no time to react . By the time she reacted, it was already the third day of living in the [General's Mansion]...
As for the reason, when Yin Yin just entered was said to be someone who was ordered by Zhao Ziyin to approach the [General's Mansion]. Not only did she never see Zhao Ziyin once after entering the General's Mansion, but Feng Qinghan also said goodbye to her when Zhao Ziyin sent someone to pick her up. Yin Yin didn't want to agree, but she thought that perhaps this would allow her to see Zhao Ziheng faster, so she agreed. She was taken care of so well during these three days that she didn't realize what she was doing here. The reason she finally realized it was entirely because of the appearance of a certain person.
"Princess!!!"
When Yin Yin was daydreaming alone in the yard, a familiar voice came into her ears, waking her up from a dream. When she turned around, she was greeted by Xiuying's smiling face.
"Xiu...Ying?"
Yinyin hasn't seen Xiuying since they parted in Weicheng. She was very surprised to meet her here.
"It's been a long time since we last met. How is the princess?"
When she saw Yin Yin, Xiuying couldn't hide her joy. She happily ignored the person who brought her here and ran to Yin Yin to greet her.
"Of course I'm fine, how about you?"
Seeing Xiuying's excitement, Yinyin also became happy. She had been in a daze for several days since she came to the general's mansion, but now there was finally a lively expression on her face.
"Well, I'm fine. I just missed the princess very much, so when I heard that the princess had arrived when I just came back, I came to find you immediately."
It was true that Xiuying had just returned, but coming to see Yinyin was her own wish as well as the wish of another person. Moreover, she missed Yinyin very much and had been impatient to come here.
Yinyin was naturally happy to see familiar people again. She thought that there was a hidden story behind their separation in Weicheng, and it was really not easy to see them again now. She looked at Xiuying carefully, and the gloom of the past three days disappeared.
"cough!"
A middle-aged man behind Xiuying coughed lightly as a reminder. He was the steward of the general's mansion. Although he did not want to disturb the reunion of the two people, he could not forget his mission. So this light cough finally awakened the two people who were immersed in the joy of reunion and prevented them from forgetting the existence of him as an outsider.
"My lord, I have brought the people with me. The general has also sent back a message saying that he will return to the palace tonight to apologize for neglecting you in the past three days, so I will host a banquet tonight. Please come and enjoy it."
"Okay, got it."
"I will send someone to inform you when the banquet starts. Please feel free to do as you please before then."
"Um."
"Then I will take my leave."
After saying what he wanted to say, the butler politely bowed and left after getting Yin Yin's permission.
"Princess, when did you come to Zhao? Why did you come here suddenly?"
As soon as the housekeeper left, Xiuying asked immediately. Because she had no idea that Yinyin was coming here, she was very excited when she heard the news.
"I've just arrived a few days ago. I came here for something."
Thinking about the purpose of coming here, Yinyin couldn't help feeling a little lost. At the same time, she thought about the relationship between Xiuying, Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng. She wanted to ask but couldn't, so she had to turn her head away and feel sad alone.
"...Then why are you here at the General's Mansion? And the Prince—"
Xiuying knew that there were some things she shouldn't ask too much about, so she had to change the subject. She swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth because she didn't know if she could say them.
"I don't know either. When I first arrived here, the General's Mansion sent someone to find me and bring me here. Anyway, I came here before I decided where to stay. As for Yan... he's fine."
Yinyin knew who Xiuying was referring to, so she answered Xiuying's question without avoiding it and gave a brief summary. However, she paused for a moment when she mentioned Zhou Yan. Xiuying naturally did not notice this momentary pause.
"Well, this place is also good. General Zhao is a good man. The princess's status is special, so it is safer to come here."
Xiuying had met Zhao Ziyan, and Wang Ye would mention him from time to time, so she had a very high opinion of Zhao Ziyan. Even though she didn't know him very well, she still had a good impression of him. Xiuying felt reassured that Yinyin lived here.
"…Right. By the way, what about you? Why are you here?"
Hiding the complicated expression on her face, Yinyin turned around and asked. After all, she had no intention of telling Xiuying her purpose, perhaps because her thoughts were a little selfish.
"Me? Of course I'm here to look for Brother Ye."
There was a flash of guilty conscience in Xiuying's eyes when she answered, but Yinyin didn't notice it. Instead, there was a more gentle look in her expression when she looked at Xiuying.
"Can you tell me about what happened between you and Doctor Wang after you separated?"
Yinyin felt that she shouldn't continue this topic, and she shouldn't continue her own topic, so she had to take the opportunity to change the subject. She was still very pleased about Xiuying's appearance, as well as Wang Ye's matter.
"Yeah, okay."
Xiuying, who was unable to see Yinyin's intention, quickly agreed. Even though she didn't say much, it was a rare opportunity for her to meet Yinyin again, so Xiuying still had a lot to say. Whether it was out of her own thoughts or for other purposes, Xiuying would definitely seize this precious opportunity.
Before she knew it, Xiuying had said a lot and Yinyin was just listening quietly. Xiuying's most talked about topic was of course still Wang Ye. Yinyin was somewhat relieved about this, after all, she understood Xiuying's thoughts, and it was a wonderful thing to be able to talk about the happiness of her sweetheart with joy.
