Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Biyun Restaurant, a famous restaurant in the capital.
Prince Guang, Bai Yi, and Ye Siming were sitting in a spacious private room on the second floor.
Prince Guang had a stocky figure and a round waist. His round and chubby face made him look very rich.
His slender eyes were exactly the same as Grand Consort Yu’s.
What didn’t match his appearance was his skin color.
It exuded a hint of darkness.
It was said that it was the aftereffect of being struck by lightning back then..
Prince Guang didn’t hide anything and was chatting with Bai Yi and Ye Siming.
“The heavens must have blessed me. Otherwise, how can anyone survive after being struck by lightning?”
Ye Siming crossed his arms and leaned against the chair. The youth’s brows were cold and he sneered.
“You probably didn’t die because it wasn’t time yet.”
. ‘ Prince Guang was at a loss for words. “Marquis Yongye, you..
Bai Yi was the first to interrupt Prince Guang.
He was afraid that after Prince Guang finished speaking, Ye Siming would flip the table impatiently.
Bai Yi smiled and raised his wine cup. “Your Highness, this toast is to you.”
Only after Prince Guang drank the wine did he suppress the dissatisfaction that had appeared in his eyes.
Bai Yi asked, “However, why did Your Highness call this subject and Siming to have a small gathering in private?”
When Prince Guang heard this, they cursed General Bai in their hearts for not knowing the ways of the world.
What other reason could there be for him to call them out for a meal?
It was naturally to rope them to his side!
It was no wonder that everyone in the imperial court said that Bai Yi was unmoved by force or persuasion and was like a rock.
In Prince Guang’s opinion, Bai Yi was simply a piece of wood!
Despite this, Prince Guang still put on a smile.
This was because Bai Yi had military power, and his adopted son, Ye Siming, was in charge of more than 10,000 elite soldiers. He was also a popular subject to Gu Yihan.
Prince Guang’s chubby face was already suffused with a faint black color, to begin with. The way he smiled made Ye Siming frown.
Prince Guang smiled and said, “Last time, His Majesty arranged for Marquis Yongye to come to the city gate to welcome us. I came to thank you for this matter.”
He took the initiative to raise his wine cup and said to Ye Siming, “Marquis, you’re still young, but you’re already so trusted by His Majesty. Your future is really limitless. Come, let me toast you!”
Ye Siming raised his chin slightly, his lazy eyes filled with coldness.
“The princess isn’t around, so I won’t drink.”
Prince Guang was stunned. “The princess isn’t around, so why can’t you drink?”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “Because the princess doesn’t like it, I promised her that in the future, when I drink, I’ll ask her if she’s willing to let me drink.
“Since she’s not around, I naturally can’t ask, so I might as well not drink. Your Highness is in a good mood, so you can drink alone.”
Prince Guang was greatly shocked.
This Marquis Yongye was really obedient and only listened to the princess!
He was still being so restrained and obedient even though the princess wasn’t around?
Seeing that the situation was too awkward, Bai Yi raised his wine cup again.
“Your Highness, Siming is still young. This subject will drink with you.”
Prince Guang seemed unwilling, but he didn’t embarrass Bai Yi in the end.
After a few cups of wine, Prince Guang couldn’t hold it in anymore.
He said meaningfully, “General Bai, His Majesty thinks highly of Marquis Yongye, but it’s still a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“Marquis Yongye has peerless martial arts and is in charge of countless elite soldiers. However, his most important duty is only to protect the little princess. Sigh, Marquis Yongye can’t manifest his ambitions. I feel sorry for him.”
Before Bai Yi could say anything…
A loud bang suddenly sounded.
The dishes on the entire table swayed with Ye Siming’s slap.
Prince Guang was shocked. “Marquis Yongye, what do you mean by this?” Ye Siming’s eyes were filled with impatience.
He gritted his teeth with a hint of cruelty and disdain.. “How is protecting the princess not considered manifesting my ambition?”
