I really became a king.

Chapter 594: Madam Ye Returns to the East

When Jiang Yi walked into the courtyard, there was only a zither quietly standing in the pavilion in the corridor, but there was no sign of Mrs. Ye.

"Your Majesty."

A maid in the courtyard came forward cautiously and bowed.

Jiang Yi nodded gently, and the maid quietly walked out of the moon door. She went straight into the house, where Madam Ye was sitting quietly eating tea.

She was wearing a green palace dress with a slightly raised collar that covered most of her neck, leaving only a hint of whiteness.

"Why doesn't Mrs. Ye play the piano anymore?" Jiang Yi walked straight forward, sat down next to her, picked up a piece of pastry on the table and ate it.

Madam Ye was slightly stunned and a little angry, because she had taken a bite of the cake, but thinking that this was not the first time, she didn't care and just replied:

"Your Majesty, please don't call me Madam Ye anymore!"

He seemed to feel that his tone was too blunt, and after a pause he continued, "I don't want to play it anymore. No one will listen if I play it."

"Isn't the person who is listening here?" Jiang Yi smiled and nodded at himself.

Madam Ye stared at the handsome young face in front of her in a daze. This age... this messy relationship...

Then, without saying anything else, he stood up and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yi himself, then sat down and asked, "Your Highness is so busy, why did you think of me today?"

Thinking of the battle for the Yinshan Realm during this period, Jiang Yi nodded: "Yes, I have been very busy recently."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Ye didn't know what was going on, she just felt depressed. Three years had passed since her body was taken away last time.

He had never set foot in this courtyard in the past three years. He must have forgotten her a long time ago. If he had not been attracted by her piano playing today, he probably would not have come here at all.

For more than a thousand days and nights in three years, Ye Qingling recalled the scene three years ago almost every day. At first, she had hatred in her heart, but as time went by, it all turned into resentment.

Even she herself didn't know why this happened, why she became like a resentful woman in the boudoir, secretly looking forward to the other party's coming.

Today the other party really came, and he suddenly found that all the resentment in his heart had dissipated, and his mood inexplicably improved.

Inexplicably, Ye Qingling suddenly became a little worried and didn't want to say anything sarcastic. Instead, he stood up, picked out a few whole cakes, put them on a small plate and placed it in front of Jiang Yi.

The two of them started chatting back and forth, and gradually Jiang Yi took the initiative, while Ye Qingling responded bit by bit.

Perhaps she herself did not realize that she had been subconsciously "pleasing" the young prince in front of her, and the resentment in her heart was slowly dissipating.

"Madam, are you still in contact with your family?"

Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Ye Qingling, who was originally smiling, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head bitterly: "Where do I have a home..."

"I'm not talking about the Bailing Ye family, but the Dunhe Ye family." Jiang Yi said.

Ye Qingling is the niece of Dali Queen Ye Xinmei. Her mother is also from the Bailing Ye family and is the cousin of the current queen. She married into the Dunhe Ye family.

After Ye Qingling came of age, he married back into the Ye family in Bailing.

This is also the situation of marriages among many noble families in the Manghuang Continent, which is a further consolidation of family ties.

As for the Bailing Ye family and the Dunhe Ye family, they share the same ancestor, but their blood relationship is very distant. Although they often intermarry, their relationship is not very harmonious.

"I'm afraid I can't go back to Dunhe Ye family..." Ye Qingling's face was full of bitterness. It can only be said that the Bailing Ye family is too calculating and too strong, and they have squeezed Dunhe Ye family very hard.

Take Ye Qingling for example. Ever since she married Ye Xiangtian, the power of her family began to be slowly eroded by the Bailing Ye family. Even her only biological brother died in unclear circumstances, and most of the power was eaten up by the Bailing Ye family.

How could she still have the face to meet with Dun and the Ye family? She didn't know how to face her parents in the future.

"In fact, ever since I married into the Ye family of Bailing, I have become estranged from the Dunhe family. I'm afraid they don't welcome me either..."

Jiang Yi picked up the teapot and poured tea for the other party, and said softly: "That was before. Now your identity has changed. They may have been looking forward to your return."

Ye Qingling stared at Jiang Yi in a daze. What did this sentence mean? Suddenly, there were some ripples in his heart. After staying in Prince Yi's Mansion for three years, he might have been waiting for this sentence in his heart.

Jiang Yi looked at the beautiful face in front of him, his heart was moved, he coughed and said: "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed and rest."

After saying this, without waiting for Ye Qingling to react, he waved his hand and the door closed instantly.

"Ah? This..." Ye Qingling felt that the situation had turned too fast. There was no foreplay at all. It was too impatient. How could it be late? It was still bright outside, and dinner hadn't been served yet.

But before she could come to her senses, she was pulled into the arms of a pair of strong hands. The warm, strong masculine scent made Ye Qingling's whole body soften all of a sudden, becoming soft and boneless.

Outside the Moon Gate, a young maid took the dinner sent by her aunt Jiang Ning, but did not bring it in. Instead, she just peeked into the courtyard.

"..."

When the maid brought the reheated food into the house, Jiang Yi was sitting there drinking tea, looking refreshed. Ye Qingling had re-dressed herself and changed into a white casual dress, and was sitting quietly beside him, serving him.

After the maid went out with a red face, Jiang Yi said, "When you go back to Dunhe and Ye's house this time, take your sister with you."

Ye Qingling was a little confused. What sister? It took her a while to realize who Jiang Yi was talking about.

When Jiang Yi led his army across the western border, he was resentful and abducted the seventeenth prince, Jiang Che's wife, who was the youngest son of Queen Ye.

In name, Jiang Yi had to call her "Auntie Imperial", but she was actually the niece of Queen Ye. Of course, she was also the niece of Ye Qingling. Their relationship was very complicated...

Ye Qingling rubbed his brows and said, "If you let her go back now, you will harm her. She is different from me. I can go back to Dunhe and the Ye family, but what about her? Should she go back to Dali Imperial Capital or Bailing Ye family?"

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think too much about it. However, whether it was the Dali Imperial Capital or the Bailing Ye Family, they were afraid that they would not be able to tolerate the other party.

"Alas, I was young and hot-tempered at that time, and wanted to fight with her, but I ended up hurting her..." He felt a little guilty.

"That may be the case..." Ye Qingling suddenly added, "I heard that my sister is very happy here and has no intention of going back at all."

After saying this, she looked at Jiang Yi with a half-smile but rather resentful look. How could she not feel resentful? Was she going to perform a drama of sisterly love from now on?

Jiang Yi shook his head: "I have never met her before."

Ye Qingling didn't say anything, but just said: "I'll go back by myself, and let her stay here."

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded.

"Some accounts need to be settled..." Ye Qingling murmured.
