Chapter 142 You are finally willing to ring the soul-breaking bell
All the guests at the banquet looked towards the entrance of the hall, but Ye Wenyan was busy talking and ignored them.
Madam Mu was still whispering to her, "Yan'er, who is the person you like? Is it really the Fourth Prince?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "No."
"That's Lord Yunchen Yun?"
"Not at all."
"Is it the Emperor?"
"Even less so."
Mu was silent for a while, "If they are all not, then I won't ask."
She still held onto Madam Mu's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mother, every failure is a learning experience. I will choose a good husband for myself and bring him to you to show you and have him pay his respects to you."
Mu smiled when she heard this and raised her hand to touch her forehead, "You really have no shame."
As the two were talking, Ye Qingmei reached out and shook them vigorously, "Look, isn't that the Sixth Prince and Hongzhuang?"
This sound not only reminded Ye Wenyan and Mu Qianqiu, but also the old lady and Ye Chulian.
Several people looked in the direction that Ye Qingmei pointed, and then they realized why the hall was suddenly quiet, and then suddenly there was a lot of discussion. It turned out that the Sixth Prince came down, and brought Ye Hongzhuang who had been taken to live in the other courtyard.
Old Madam Ye stood up suddenly. It was a completely subconscious action, so much so that she forgot that she had sprained her waist and that she had been injured when she pinched Ye Chulian.
As a result, after standing like this, I felt pain all over my arms, legs and waist. I couldn't stand still at that time, and sat back down again. Ye Hongzhuang seemed to glance over here, but it was just a glance, without any lingering gaze.
Someone said, "Is the Sixth Prince better now? Yes, it has been almost a month at most, he should be better now. Those eunuchs can walk around in a month after they have been cleansed, and those who recover quickly can even enter the palace to serve their masters."
Someone else teased her, "You sound like you know a lot. What? Have you ever seen a eunuch castrate himself?"
The lady also laughed, "I've definitely never seen the whole process, but I have seen eunuchs who have been cleansed for more than a month. Although they can walk freely, their complexion is not very good. I heard that it takes at least three to five months to fully recover."
"Oh, so the Sixth Prince recovered a little too quickly. Look at the way he walks. He doesn't sway, and he takes big steps. His complexion is also good, as bright as spring breeze. He doesn't look like he has just been seriously injured. He is clearly more energetic than before the injury."
"Yes, by comparison, the Princess Su next to him is not so good. Not only does she look bad, but she also looks like she was beaten. One side of her face is swollen. But it's not surprising. With the Sixth Prince's temper, it's normal for him to be beaten."
People were talking about the Sixth Prince's amazing recovery, wondering whether he was completely bad in the beginning, and whether he was like a eunuch now, or had been cured and was a normal man.
Today, the Sixth Prince wore a light grey robe, stood straight, and had a smile on his face. Whenever he met someone, he would bow slightly to greet them. During this time, a child from an unknown family was running and playing in the middle of the hall. He accidentally tripped and fell in front of him. He bent over to help the child up, patted his robe, and asked kindly: "Did you fall anywhere? Does it hurt?"
The child's mother ran forward to take the child, and kept apologizing to him, but the Sixth Prince just shook his head and said, "You don't have to apologize to me for such a small matter. It's normal for children to run around and make noises. Just make sure the child doesn't bump into anything."
This Sixth Prince is different from before!
This is what everyone thinks, and Ye Wenyan also thinks so. But she thinks more than others, she is thinking - who is this person who came out with Ye Hongzhuang?
That's right, who is it? This is definitely not Quan Qinglu. Others can't tell, but she can tell at a glance.
The Sixth Prince used to be a spoiled child with a domineering temper. He relied on the fact that he was the legitimate prince and never took anyone seriously. Even if it was the left and right prime ministers of the first rank of the dynasty, he would insult them without mercy.
But this person now is different. He is humble and easy-going, with a bit of elegance, like sunshine, making people feel like spring breeze at first glance.
This is a people-friendly approach.
Of course, this is all external, a kind of feeling that is difficult to explain and cannot be used as evidence.
Of course, Ye Wenyan was not looking at external information. She was using her spiritual power to feel the person's aura, or magnetic field.
Everyone has their own magnetic field, everyone has their own aura. Ordinary people cannot feel this mysterious thing, but she can, and so can Shi Liyuan.
The man in front of him did not have Quan Qinglu's aura. Although they were very similar and related to each other to a certain extent, he and Quan Qinglu were completely different people. It was like they were identical twins. It was difficult for ordinary people to tell them apart with the naked eye.
The concept of twins gave her some inspiration, but when she thought about it more deeply, she felt that something was not right.
If they were in contact for a long time, even twins could be recognized. No matter how similar they looked, there were always differences. Besides, this person and Quan Qinglu were two different people except for their appearance. It was too easy to tell who was who.
But why didn't the guests present doubt it?
Because Quan Qinglu is the prince, everyone in the world knows whether he has a twin brother.
Therefore, no one doubted that this was not the Sixth Prince from the past. They just thought that the Sixth Prince had changed his personality after being seriously injured.
But it is not so easy for a person to change his gender. As for the issue of twins, what if no one in the world knows about it?
If you don't know, you won't think about it. Only by not knowing can you have no doubts about the person in front of you.
Ye Wenyan sneered in his heart, and the little hand in his sleeve moved again.
She crushed the petals, activated her spiritual power, and gently shook the silver bell hanging on her wrist.
The sound of the silver bell is clear, but it is not audible to mortals. Apart from the original owner of the silver bell, she is the only one in the world who can hear it.
Almost at the same time as the bell rang, a voice sounded next to her ear, as if someone was talking to her furry little ear. She could almost feel the heat coming from the person's voice.
"Ah Yan, you are finally willing to ring my Soul-Severing Bell."
The corners of her lips lifted up, and she smiled involuntarily. This smile was seen by some people, so some people wondered in their hearts: Could it be that Miss Ye Si has not forgotten the Sixth Prince? Otherwise, why would she smile like this when she saw the Sixth Prince? This smile was clearly the smile that only comes from seeing the man of one's heart, full of joy and longing.
Of course she was happy and looking forward to it, but not to the Sixth Prince, but to the man who was in Yanhua Palace and was speaking in her ear using the art of voice transmission.
"The name of the Soul-Breaking Bell is not a good one. Perhaps you originally used it as a magic weapon. When the Gintama rings, someone's soul will be broken, so it is called the Soul-Breaking Bell. But now it is given to me. What if someone's soul is broken when I shake it? So I usually don't use it." She also used the art of sound transmission to communicate with spiritual consciousness, and outsiders were unaware of it.
He and her were always willing to discuss everything. Now that he heard that the little girl disliked the name, he said to her, "Why don't you change her name? She's yours now anyway, so you can change her name to whatever you like."
She nodded, "Then I have to think about it carefully. I can't treat it badly. After all, it has been with you, the Emperor, for more than 400 years. If the spiritual power of heaven and earth is not gone, I'm afraid it should have been able to cultivate a spirit. I'll think about this slowly later. Right now, I have another thing I want to ask you. Master Liyuan, do you know that the Sixth Prince Quan Qinglu has a twin brother?"
This question stumped the Emperor. He was silent for a long while, then said helplessly, "Ah Yan, this is just a trivial matter for mortals. If I had to ask about this, then I would have been busy for the past four hundred years."
"This is not a small matter! After all, the Quan family is a royal family, you should always pay more attention to it."
"What's wrong with the royal family? Why should the royal family get more attention from me?"
Well, she didn't say that.
"Ayan, why do you suddenly ask this?"
She told the truth, "Because right in front of me, there is a person who looks exactly like the Sixth Prince. He came to Fenghuang Yufei Palace with my cousin Ye Hongzhuang. Everyone thought he was the Sixth Prince who had recovered from his serious injury, but I was the only one who knew that he was not. I saw that there was no trace of disguise on his face, which means that he originally looked like this. But if they are not twin brothers, how could there be people who look like this? So I came to ask you, but if you don't know, I can only wait and see."
She withdrew her spiritual power and stopped talking to Shi Liyuan. At this time, the Sixth Prince had already sat down in the prince's seat, and Ye Hongzhuang was walking towards the female guest seat.
The old lady was a little excited, mumbling something in her mouth, until Ye Hongzhuang came closer, the mumbling voice became louder. It turned out that she was asking: "Is the Sixth Prince okay? Hongzhuang, is the Sixth Prince okay?"
Ye Hongzhuang did not answer, but leaned over to greet the old lady and called out, "Grandma."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, expressing her satisfaction, and kept arranging for Ye Hongzhuang to sit next to her. But there was no empty seat next to her, with Ye Chulian sitting on one side and Ye Wenyan on the other.
Ye Hongzhuang glanced at them, and the old lady also glanced at them, then glared at Ye Chulian: "Get up and make room for your third sister."
Ye Chulian stood up, but all the chairs at the table were full. There was no place for her to sit, so she could only stand behind the old lady. She really looked like a maid brought into the palace by the Ye family.
Ye Wenyan glanced at Ye Hongzhuang who had already sat down, and then gave Ye Chulian some advice: "Fifth sister, the old lady asked you to give up your seat, so you should give up your chair with you. Why did you stand up and leave the chair behind?"
Ye Hongzhuang was stunned for a moment, and then she heard her say again: "Madam Ji, help Miss Five move the chair next to me."
