Chapter 523: Mysterious Young Lady No. 516 (Part 11) - Second Update

Ye Qingqing had just intentionally brought up Ye Shaohua.

In fact, she harbored comparative thoughts, having been jealous of Ye Shaohua while in the Ye Family. Now that she saw her reduced to an ordinary embroiderer in an embroidery workshop, she couldn’t help but take pleasure in her misfortune.

However, appearances still had to be maintained.

She sighed, "Indeed, that must be my sister, Shaohua... Young Master, why not accompany me to see my sister?"

The Thirteenth Prince naturally agreed with delight.

The Tianxia Embroidery Shop had just officially opened not long ago, and because of deliberate targeting by the Jiangling Embroidery Workshop, business was mediocre.

But right now, Ye Shaohua was focused on teaching a group of embroiderers, paying no mind to business. She planned to take on a few orders only after the first batch of embroiderers could handle them.

At that moment, she was sitting beside a table set up in the storefront, propping her cheek with one hand, and instructing the embroiderer standing beside her on the fan she had just embroidered, mainly explaining the stitching and color matching.

"Sister."

She suddenly heard a voice that was not very familiar, and Ye Shaohua tilted her head slightly.

Her hand remained supporting her chin.

The hem of her white garment embroidered with bamboo leaves slid from the table as she turned her head.

The embroideress who was seeking advice from Ye Shaohua was used to seeing her, but even so, she was startled by the casual glance over.

This level of beauty was sky-defying.

However, she did not yet know the word "beauty value," only feeling that a glance at Miss Ye brought instant joy to one’s heart.

Even the Thirteenth Prince, accustomed to beautiful women, with a few lovely concubines in his residence, was momentarily stunned when he saw Ye Shaohua, his eyes filled with unhidden admiration.

Ye Shaohua suddenly snapped back to reality.

She glanced at the cloud pattern embroidered on the hem of the Thirteenth Prince’s clothes and the precious jade pendant hanging from his waist, and could roughly predict his identity.

Backing away at this point would cause unnecessary trouble for the Thirteenth Prince.

So, Ye Shaohua simply turned to look at Ye Qingqing, and suddenly her eyes brightened, feigning surprise, "Sister, have you come to take me back to the Ye Family?"

"This..." Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Shaohua with difficulty, "It’s not impossible for you to return, but first you need to speak with our father..."

Seeing the expression on Ye Shaohua’s face instantly wilt, Ye Qingqing patiently chatted with her for a while longer.

Although Ye Qingqing focused on learning embroidery, what Hui Niang taught her was not limited to embroidery. Therefore, after asking about Ye Shaohua’s recent situation, Ye Qingqing talked with her about everything from poetry and literary compositions to the beauty of nature and the changing seasons.

Ye Shaohua was after all an individual who had once been a Number One Scholar, her photographic memory was such that even if scholars of the present day came to chat with her, she could keep up with any topic.

After the conversation, a scholar might even want to become an old friend beyond their years, or perhaps cry and plead for her to share more insights.

The last time she was in ancient times and had taught a Number One Scholar, there were plenty of scholars crying and begging to become her disciples.

However, chatting with Ye Qingqing was different, especially with the Thirteenth Prince nearby inquiring about her. Ye Shaohua looked around casually, feigning knowledge on topics she clearly knew nothing about.

It was the Thirteenth Prince, however, who perked up when Ye Qingqing mentioned military tactics, and he engaged in a more animated conversation with her.

Ye Qingqing was still reveling in the joy that other people did not recognize the Thirteenth Prince by her side, and only she was aware of it.

The more she talked with the Thirteenth Prince, the more he looked at her.

After half an hour, the two left the Tianxia Embroidery Shop.

"That was your sister in there?" The Thirteenth Prince asked as they stepped out, glancing back at the embroidery workshop of the Ye Family.

Ye Qingqing modestly lowered her head, "Yes."

"I had thought, as your sister, she would be just as outstanding as you. But having seen her, she is nothing special." The Thirteenth Prince was extremely disappointed.

Initially, Ye Shaohua had impressed him, but her later performance had been a letdown. They were sisters, yet so different. It was no wonder the Ye Family had cast out Ye Qingqing’s sister.

In this respect, it seemed there was no mistake.

He had wanted to find out what was so mysterious about the person who had dealings with the Crown Prince. Now it seemed she was just an ordinary person compared to the true daughters of great houses, lacking somewhat in grace and nobility. Except for her face, the rest was hardly presentable.

At that moment, the Thirteenth Prince suddenly remembered this must be a ruse by the Crown Prince.

He had wondered why the Crown Prince had intentionally allowed him to find his trail this time. With that thought, the Thirteenth Prince lost all interest in Ye Shaohua.

And hearing the Thirteenth Prince describe Ye Shaohua as "nothing special," although she did not show it on her face, Ye Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief over the previous incident where Ye Shaohua’s embroidery skills had surpassed her.

"About the birthday gift you’re embroidering for His Highness, have you thought of anything?" The Thirteenth Prince brought up the topic.

He had just learned yesterday that the Crown Prince was seeking a birthday screen as a gift for the Emperor.

The Thirteenth Prince naturally did not intend to be outdone.

His thoughts immediately turned to the Ye Family of Jiangling. When it came to embroidery skills, no one could surpass the Ye Family. He was determined to outdo the Crown Prince with a similar gift this time.

Ye Qingqing replied with great confidence, "Your Highness, I have fortunately acquired a lost secret technique of the Ye Family. Although I haven’t fully mastered it, I have learned a thing or two and will certainly not disappoint you."

Hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince finally felt at ease.

As they spoke, neither of them noticed that someone was passing by not far away.

Meng Yanqiu had originally come today to accompany Lady Meng.

During this period, he had been secretly contacting his people while keeping his parents unaware of the true situation. He was grateful for the help given to him and his mother by the Ye Family but dared not meet them.

Today, he specifically wanted to express his thanks to Lady Ye in person.

He hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Qingqing and the Thirteenth Prince before even reaching the Tianxia Embroidery Shop.

Dressed in plain clothes to move about with ease, Meng Yanqiu was not recognized by Ye Qingqing.

In his past life, Meng Yanqiu had known the Thirteenth Prince, and later, for the sake of the Meng Family and the Ye Family, Ye Qingqing had no choice but to marry the Thirteenth Prince.

Since his rebirth, he had done everything in his power to protect Ye Qingqing. He had even precipitated the "downfall" of the Meng Family ahead of time to prevent the Thirteenth Prince from intervening and to spare Ye Qingqing the fate of marrying him.

Everything that had happened so far, Meng Yanqiu could still convince himself, for in this rebirth, he had returned for Ye Qingqing’s sake.

But now, witnessing Ye Qingqing’s admiring demeanor toward the Thirteenth Prince, what else was there for Meng Yanqiu to misunderstand?
