Chapter 415 Even the Unreasonable Junior Sister is Cute
The group forgot what had just happened and continued wandering around, but those who saw what they were doing couldn't help but want to keep their distance from them.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Fourth Prince." A burly general strode over, followed by the general who had just been knocked unconscious by Bai Qianzhou.
"What? Is this what they call 'beating the young one and then the old one comes along'?" Before Ye Yanqing could speak, Si Nansheng spoke first.
When the general looked at Si Nansheng, his aura exploded, but under his pressure, Si Nansheng did not react at all.
The general was taken aback, and his opinion of Si Nansheng improved, so he put away his imposing manner.
"Are you here to avenge him?" Ye Yanqing asked, looking at the person hiding behind the general.
"No, this humble general is only here to escort Your Highness to the palace. However, this humble general would like to ask, when my deputy came to escort you, why did you attack him?"
Although his tone was questioning, it was not hard to tell that he intended to seek justice for his subordinates.
"Ask us? Then we'd like to ask you too, does he know who he came to pick up?" Mo Yu stepped forward and looked at the general.
"Of course!" the general nodded.
"Since you know this, then who gave this lowly general the audacity to look down on the fourth prince of a nation?"
"Being arrogant and aloof is one thing, but daring to lay a hand on the Fourth Prince! My junior sister only knocked him unconscious, not killed him, only because of the Four Divine Sect's reputation."
Mo Yu looked at the general with a half-smile. The general frowned and turned to look at the general behind him. The general avoided his gaze uncomfortably, not daring to meet his eyes.
His actions spoke volumes, and I felt a surge of anger.
Even though Ye Yanqing is an unfavored prince, he is still a prince. How can a general be disrespectful to a prince?
"On behalf of my subordinate, I apologize to the Fourth Prince and ask for his forgiveness. I will also punish him."
"Men, take him back. He's a 40th-grade officer." The general instructed his subordinates, and immediately someone stepped forward and seized the young general.
"No, General, please spare me! Forty lashes will kill me! General, please spare my life!"
The young general begged the general to spare him, but the general didn't even glance at him.
"He's so afraid of only forty strokes of the cane, and he calls himself a general? What a disgrace!" Si Nansheng muttered disdainfully.
"The forty strokes of the military rod that the general mentioned don't mean forty lashes, but rather forty broken rods," Ye Yanqing explained, knowing that Si Nansheng was unaware of the situation.
"Oh, I see? Then this general is quite fair in rewarding and punishing. I misunderstood him." Si Nansheng said with a sudden realization, and Ye Yanqing helplessly rubbed her head.
"Your Highness, the Empress has received Elder Li's message that you and your junior brothers and sisters have arrived. She has prepared a banquet for you in the palace. Please come with me."
The general looked at Ye Yanqing respectfully. Since even a little girl could disregard his imposing presence, he naturally dared not be presumptuous.
It must be said that his respect for the strong and his attitude toward everyone pleased Si Nansheng, and he had no intention of making things difficult for him.
"If you don't want to go, go and rest first. I'll come find you when it's over." Ye Yanqing didn't know what would happen if she went to the palace.
He still didn't really want his junior brothers and sisters to go on adventures with him.
"I've heard that the food in the palace is very delicious, is that true?" Si Nansheng asked the general.
"Yes... this is true." The general didn't know how to answer Si Nansheng's question for a moment, so he could only nod.
"That's good. Let's go, I'm hungry." Without saying another word, Si Nansheng started walking forward.
Ye Yanqing was embarrassed: Junior sister, you've been eating all the way here, are you still hungry?
"Junior Sister, you're going the wrong way," Wen Luoya called out in time, and Si Nansheng quickly turned around.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Luckily, I hadn't gone far." Si Nansheng muttered as she walked to Wen Luoya's side.
Wen Luoya scratched his head. Was this really his fault?
Oh well, even the unreasonable junior sister is cute.
"Senior Brother, let's go." Mo Lie said to the helpless Ye Yanqing, and then he and Mo Yu went to catch up with Si Nansheng who was walking ahead.
Ye Yanqing also caught up, and the general followed behind Ye Yanqing, looking at the girl walking in front with a puzzled expression.
They called her Junior Sister, but the General could sense that everything they did revolved around her.
This was something he couldn't understand. Even if a little girl was very favored, it was impossible for everyone to put her first in everything.
However, this is not something a general like him can handle, so it's best not to worry about it.
After entering the palace, Si Nansheng and the others looked around at their surroundings, but their expressions were not particularly strong.
It has to be said that the things here are really just average, not as precious as the things in Si Nansheng's courtyard.
The general led them to a courtyard in the inner palace. Si Nansheng looked up and saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the main hall.
Ye Yanqing gently raised her hand and pressed Si Nansheng's head down.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Fourth Prince and his companions have been brought here." The General stepped forward and said, and all eyes fell on Ye Yanqing.
It must be said that Ye Yanqing's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the emperor, making him arguably the one among his brothers and sisters who most resembles the emperor.
However, Ye Yanqing's aura was relatively calm, which was somewhat different from the emperor's imperial aura.
Ye Yanqing led her junior brothers and sisters forward and raised her hands in greeting.
"Ye Yanqing of the Four Gods Sect has brought his fellow disciples to pay homage." Ye Yanqing's voice was clear and elegant, and he used the name of the Four Gods Sect.
It was as if he had no connection whatsoever with this glamorous place.
Si Nansheng and the others were aware of their current situation, so they followed Ye Yanqing's example and bowed in greeting.
"Yanqing, you're finally back! Come here, let your mother take a good look at you." Ye Yanqing's mother, Yan Shu, stood up and excitedly extended her hand to Ye Yanqing.
Ye Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward, but stopped when he was a certain distance away from her.
"Yan Qing, I never imagined you'd grown so much." Yan Shu looked at her son, her eyes welling up with tears.
Yan Shu has not seen him since she sent him away.
He has changed a lot over the years.
Ye Yanqing didn't say anything. It's been hundreds of years since they last met. Isn't it normal for things to change a lot?
"My dear consort, please don't be anxious. Yan Qing has already returned. There will be many more opportunities to chat in the future. Let them take their seats first."
The man sitting in the main seat looked at Yan Shu and Ye Yanqing and spoke softly. Yan Shu wiped her eyes and nodded gently.
Originally, she wanted Ye Yanqing to sit with her so she could have a good chat with him.
But Ye Yanqing had already walked to Si Nansheng's side and pulled Si Nansheng to sit down.
The other fellow disciples also sat down one by one near them, and from beginning to end, apart from exchanging greetings, no one said a word.
