Chapter 224: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
Ye Yichen was a little afraid to look at Ye Ruoxing. He didn't know how to face her, or perhaps, he didn't know how to face these years.
……
Ye Ruoxing found it funny. He looked like a child who had done something wrong but refused to admit it.
In fact, Ye Yichen was overthinking it. She didn't hate him. After all, the little girl they had pampered and then abandoned like a piece of trash was no longer there.
After making a fuss for half the night, Master Ye finally got so angry that he called him a "rebellious son" and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Ye Ruoxing found it very funny. No matter how big a mistake Ye Yichen made, at most he would be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. It was indeed different from her.
On the way back, Ye Furong deliberately moved closer to her. She asked in surprise, "I only found out today that you actually like the Emperor's uncle. If I had known you had this in mind, I would have told mother long ago and asked her to decide your relationship. In fact, if you want, I'm willing to help you."
The fox snorted in his heart. Ye Furong was really disgusting. It was obviously she who deliberately spread the rumors about her and the emperor's uncle. Now she was pretending to be righteous. Could it be that she was still expecting her to be grateful to her?
Without having to think about this matter, Ye Ruoxing knew who was behind the scenes. It was simple: whoever benefited would take action.
Ye Furong didn't want to marry the emperor's uncle, so it was undoubtedly Ye Furong who hired people to spread rumors and destroy her reputation.
"No need." Ye Ruoxing replied calmly, "Miss, I believe in the saying that the innocent will be innocent. If there is nothing between me and the emperor's uncle, I think as time goes by, the rumors will stop. As my sister said, those villains who only know rumors are like rats in the gutter. Why should I bother with them?"
Ye Furong was a little confused for a moment. Had she ever said this?
Not enough words to speculate.
After walking a few steps, Ye Furong saw that she couldn't persuade Ye Ruoxing, so she stopped following her.
On the way back, the smile on Ye Furong's face gradually disappeared. She walked hurriedly and felt very restless.
She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy. The maid next to her reminded her, "Miss, we should go to bed early tonight. In a few days, Miss Qingluo from the Prime Minister's family is hosting a garden party. I heard that the emperor will be attending. You should go to bed early tonight so that you can have a good time tomorrow."
"Xu Qingluo..."
Ye Furong whispered the name, her eyes immediately lighting up. She asked the maid, "But I used to be good friends with Ye Ruoxing, but then I don't know why, we had a falling out, and we haven't been in touch since."
The maid nodded and said "yes"
As expected, Ye Furong's mouth curled up and her pace became much lighter. Tomorrow would be a great opportunity.
Since Ye Ruoxing refused to admit that she had an affair with the emperor's uncle, she had no choice but to start with the emperor. If she succeeded, she would no longer have to pay attention to Ye Ruoxing.
As a modern person, Ye Furong felt that she had some confidence in dealing with the clothes of the ancient emperor.
……
"I heard that the emperor's uncle has also returned. Should we send him our invitation?"
Cui Xi, the maidservant beside Xu Qingluo, asked her. Xu Qingluo was a little surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "Since we came to the palace today to deliver the invitation, since the emperor's uncle is here, we naturally have to deliver it."
Cui Xi nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes, and sighed, "But Miss, the Emperor's uncle never attends such occasions, so it would be a wasted trip for us."
Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "You have to go, we have invited you. It is up to the Emperor's uncle to decide whether to go or not. But if we don't invite him, it would be impolite."
Jiang Wuchen's palace is in the quietest corner of the imperial palace.
He originally had his own palace, but his mother, the old queen dowager, was still in the palace, so every time he came back, he mostly stayed in the palace.
Because he liked quietness, he specifically asked to live in the most remote palace, which was far away from the residences of other palaces.
Xu Qingluo and her servant set out from the Queen's Palace and walked for an hour and a half before arriving at the Emperor's uncle's palace.
This place was built like a temple. Even the two eunuchs guarding the door were dressed very simply, in blue clothes with no other decorations.
Seeing Xu Qingluo and her servant approaching, they asked, "What do you two want?"
It's really strange. Usually, strangers don't come to this palace. Usually, those who come are people around the emperor or the concubine.
Xu Qingluo took a breath and then said, "I am from Lord Xu's family. I will be holding a garden party at home in the next few days and would like to invite the emperor's uncle to attend."
The two people guarding the door looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward to take the note from Xu Qingluo's hand, then said, "The emperor's uncle is in seclusion and won't see guests. I'll send the note in and see what he has to say."
As he said that, he took the post from Xu Qingluo's hand and trotted in.
The rest of them looked at the woman in front of them curiously. She was the daughter of the prime minister, but most of the ladies among the ministers knew that the emperor's uncle would not attend any such occasions, so why would she make a wasted trip here?
After a while, the servant who delivered the invitation came out. The people waiting originally thought that it was just a formality and were ready to listen carefully to see if the emperor's uncle would go.
Unexpectedly, the servant said, "The emperor's uncle said that since Miss Xu has invited him, it would be disrespectful for him to refuse. He will definitely go on time."
Xu Qingluo was a little surprised. You know, the emperor's uncle might not even be so kind as to attend the banquet hosted by the queen and princess, so how could he agree to attend her banquet?
It was Cui Xi who was beside her who nudged her. Xu Qingluo knelt down in surprise and replied, "Yes, I will be at home, waiting for your visit, Your Majesty."
On the way back, Cui Xi couldn't help but wonder, "Miss, why would the emperor's uncle go? It's really unexpected."
"I don't know..." Xu Qingluo was very excited. Although she didn't know why the emperor's uncle was willing to go, it was a great honor to be able to invite the emperor's uncle this time.
Cui Xi then asked, "Miss, I heard that the one from the Ye family is back. Should we send her an invitation?"
When Xu Qingluo heard Cui Xi mention Ye Ruoxing, the expression on her face instantly turned cold and her words became a little colder.
"No..."
The atmosphere in the carriage instantly turned cold, and over here, the emperor's uncle stroked the invitation in his hand. He originally didn't like to attend such gatherings.
But the moment he saw the invitation, Ye Ruoxing's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and he accepted the invitation for some unknown reason.
He didn't know why, but he wanted to see her.
This emotion always bothered him when he was meditating in the past few days, and he found that he could no longer calm down.
