Three days later, as Yun Qingyu stepped outside, he saw five young gentlemen waiting in the courtyard. It was hard to say they were dressed flamboyantly; rather, their outfits were more extravagant and elegant than the last, presenting an image of noble young masters that seemed almost celestial.
Yun Qingyu cleared his throat and said, "There are rumors outside that you all shamelessly indulge in carnal pleasures. Yet here you are, making sure everyone knows your identities by dressing so ostentatiously. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were preparing to enter the palace for a selection."
Yun Lingchuan clasped his hands and smiled, saying, "If there were a Your Majesty seated deep within the palace, entering for a selection wouldn't be out of the question. These attendants of yours are content with whatever comes their way; as long as they have food, drink, and clothing, they're satisfied. Their lives are even more leisurely than the koi in the lake. You needn't worry about them scheming against one another."
Hong Yu raised his hand to express loyalty: "We willingly serve as your garden. Whenever you find yourself with nothing to do, you can sit in the garden and enjoy the scenery. The peony has its nobility, the plum blossom its pride, and the lotus its purity."
Qilin turned to interrupt Hong Yu: "Are you a lotus or a plum blossom? Should we write some poetry to present to His Highness?"
Hong Yu frowned: "What I mean is that we are all part of your garden, each with our own charm, devoted and adoring towards you. You can shower us all with your grace."
Qilin scowled: "Do you have any other vocabulary besides that?"
Hong Yu pouted: "Even if I used a hundred different words, it would still mean the same thing. I have no grand ambitions; my life is devoted to you. In life, I am yours; in death, I will be your ghost."
Yun Qingyu suddenly interjected: "If you're dead, I'll just feed you to the dogs. What use do I have for your corpse?"
Hong Yu looked shocked and hurt: "Your Highness is so heartless."
The other four facepalmed, unable to bear watching.
Yun Qingyu stepped down from the platform and walked outside, with Xin Yao silently following closely behind.
Outside the Princess Residence, two luxurious and spacious carriages were parked. A few people stood in silence until Hong Yu was the first to speak up, "What should we do about the two carriages?"
Yun Qingyu replied calmly, "This Palace will share a carriage with Xin Yao, and you five will take the other one."
Without hesitation, Yun Qingyu stepped into the first carriage. Once Xin Yao followed suit, the carriage slowly began to move, heading towards the Ling Family.
Seeing this, Hong Yu lightly sprang forward and gracefully boarded the carriage.
Yun Lingchuan observed Hong Yu thoughtfully and asked, "Young Master Hong, your lightness skill displayed earlier was quite impressive. May I ask who your master is?"
Hong Yu looked confused and bewildered, blinking as he responded, "What is lightness skill? I don’t have any lightness skill. Master Yun must be mistaken."
Yun Lingchuan paused for a moment, a half-smile on his face as he said, "Young Master Hong inadvertently revealed his true thoughts."
Hong Yu cleared his throat and said, "What I meant by Master Yun was misheard by you."
Turning to the other three, Yun Lingchuan remarked, "I’m still young; my hearing should be fine. What do you all think?"
Qilin nodded calmly. "Hong Yu is referring to Master Yun."
Wen Zhan and Shen Zhongjing also nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it was Master Yun who misheard."
Yun Lingchuan chuckled and said, "Is that so? Then let’s just say I heard wrong."
The carriage arrived at the gates of the Ling Family. After receiving the announcement, the head of the Ling Family, Ling Ancheng, along with his wife and their children and servants, came out to welcome the Eldest Princess.
Ling Ancheng secretly grumbled to himself: This is utterly ridiculous. What exactly does the Princess Consort want?
Upon seeing several stunning attendants, his brows furrowed, and his expression darkened immediately. He thought angrily: Does she not regard the Ling Family at all?
To come as a guest to the Ling Family and bring a male companion to share the same carriage—how shameless can one be?
Yun Qingyu's gaze was calm as it fell on Ling Ancheng's face. She asked, "Does General Ling have any dissatisfaction with this Palace's way of doing things?"
Ling Ancheng's face was grim, clearly showing signs of extreme anger.
Behind him stood the Heir of the Lin Family, Ling Yan, and the legitimate son of the Lin Family's second branch, Ling Jing. Both wore equally furious expressions.
Hong Yu frowned and said, "Wasn't it Lady Lin who posted an invitation for the Princess Consort to come enjoy flowers and tea? Are we really uninvited guests? Is that why General Ling and Madam Ling are so angry?"
