Chapter 566: Chapter 565: Inquiring About Handsome Young Men
"I’ll ask around and see which young talents are worthy, keep an eye out for you, and prepare for your future. Now that I think about it, opening this Lanhua Pavilion is indeed a good thing."
Ye Fu sent her sister a sidelong glance and replied irritably, "Your elder sister is still a princess consort, you say these things openly, mother will scold you again if she finds out."
Divorce?
She had never thought about it before, but now, as her sister mentioned it, a faint notion surfaced in her heart.
She knew the prince harbored no feelings for her, nor did she have any affection left for him.
But, what about Xiao Ah Che?
Ye Zhi laughed charmingly, "Even if mother comes, I’m not afraid. If two people have no feelings, it’s better to separate. You’re in the prime of your life, why waste it?"
After speaking, she discreetly gave a signal to her personal maid.
Ming Yan’s tacit understanding with her mistress was almost perfect, she immediately understood, "Life is just a few decades, if couples aren’t deeply in love, watching one’s husband affectionately with another woman each day, what’s the point?"
Ye Zhi feigned surprise, "Ah, I didn’t expect Ming Yan to have such awareness."
"Wasn’t it you who taught me to say this?" But Ming Yan still had to maintain the act, "Yes, these are the thoughts of this servant."
Ye Fu felt troubled all of a sudden, waving her hand, "I understand, I have my own opinion on this matter, stop mentioning it in the future."
"Alright then, think about it, I’ll go play with Xiao Ah Che."
Seeing the conversation ended, Ye Zhi left it to her sister to decide, and quickly slipped away with her maid!
Xiao Ah Che, just a little child, had already started learning literature and writing.
Now he looked quite mature, behaving like a little adult.
But in front of his aunt, he showed his innocent and lively side~
"Xiao Ah Che, come play hide and seek with auntie and sister Ming Yan."
Xiao Ah Che put down his pen, obediently said, "Alright," and ran towards his aunt with his short little legs, his cheeks slightly red.
The three of them, two adults and one child, played happily together.
Ye Zhi didn’t leave Prince Jin Mansion until after lunch.
However, she wasn’t heading towards Shen Mansion, but instead moved in the direction of Lanhua Pavilion.
Lanhua Pavilion was a very large establishment, ostensibly dealing in tea but actually holding many secrets; one needed a code word to access the inner areas.
Most of the people in the pavilion knew Ye Zhi, but she covered her face along with Ming Yan to match those codes, heading straight in.
Upon arrival.
Ye Zhi walked inconspicuously to the counter and asked, "I want to buy a kind of tea, do you have it here?"
The shopkeeper saw the two young ladies with covered faces, showing a standard smile, asked, "Please tell me, miss."
She responded calmly, "Suddenly on the heart of an old friend, looking back at the mountains and rivers already autumn."
The shopkeeper continued her words, "Two places of longing snow together, this life counts as spending white heads together."
Ye Zhi continued, "Slanting sun below the mountain, a piece of moon high, after sleep hiking medicine around the river suburb."
"Frost wind shaking leaves from a thousand trees, leisurely leaning on the staff counting crane nests. Miss, we have that kind of tea, how about coming to the side hall to have a detailed talk." After speaking, the shopkeeper restrained his smile, led the way, and headed to the back door.
"Okay." Ye Zhi led her maid inside.
However, once inside the side hall, she no longer concealed her identity, removing her scarf to reveal her face.
Of course, the shopkeeper recognized his mistress immediately, hurriedly attended to her—this was the woman whom even Prime Minister Shen had to appease, and last year when she left home, Prime Minister went to great lengths in searching for her.
Ye Zhi didn’t put on airs, directly requesting to find a young, talented gentleman of clean family background for him to keep an eye out.
