Chapter 562: Elder’s Consent
The Crown Prince really didn’t treat them as outsiders.
Lai Ran laughed heartily.
Every young man desires to marry as soon as possible. Given the Crown Prince’s status, he was expected to speak reservedly, but unexpectedly, he was quite frank.
Seeing how much his daughter liked him, Lai Ran felt that the pair must share a deep affection.
In another horse carriage, the Old Princess Consort affectionately watched Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu’s eyes were downcast, and her hands were nervously intertwined.
"As a child, the Ninth Princess visited a few times," the Old Princess Consort recalled with a smile, using her hand to indicate the height of the young Ye Jiu, "Back then, she had a round little face, just learning to walk. In the Imperial Garden, Ye’er knocked the Princess over, and she dropped a golden bead. It was I who picked her up and consoled her till she stopped crying."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu looked up in surprise, "Really?"
"Hmm!" the Old Princess Consort nodded joyfully, "You could ask Ye’er."
Ye Jiu looked towards Leng Yuyue, her eyes sparkling as if they contained stars, "Princely Heir?"
"I was only a few years old back then. Besides, there were so many princesses in the palace, how could I know it was you?" Leng Yuyue raised a brow and settled back against the carriage door, straightening his robe.
Lai Taihong glanced at his grandson and then affectionately told Ye Jiu, "That year, I brought my wife and eldest grandson to the capital, and we indeed saw the Ninth Princess a few times in the palace."
