Although Ye had passed the re-selection of the prince's consort, King Jiangdu had never met her alone. After all, the selection of the consort was all promoted by the emperor and operated behind the scenes. It was not his business as the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, and even the queen could not intervene. Not to mention that Ye was not yet a consort of the prince, even if she really became a consort of the prince, he would not be able to meet his nephew's wife for no reason.
However, ever since he knew that Ye was also in this remote village, he was determined to meet her.
Therefore, even though the dignified King of Jiangdu waited for quite a while in the small hall of the courtyard, he was still very patient. He even scolded a few followers who were looking around, saying that they should not be rude. After drinking half a cup of tea, he finally received a message from inside that Ye was willing to see him. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he could rely on his status to be a bit tough, Ye was a strong woman who could cut off the ear of a young man who blocked her way and teased her, and beat a lackey into a pulp. If he didn't want to use his reputation to run into trouble, he could only ask for a meeting politely.
He came for his daughter, not for her beauty!
For this reason, the King of Jiangdu even straightened his clothes to make sure he could appear in a generous and decent image, and then he walked out of the hall with his head held high. Several followers naturally followed closely behind, but at the second door, they were stopped by two maids, and the reason was so that no one could refute it. It was okay for the dignified Miss Ye to meet the King of Jiangdu, but what about asking them to follow
King Jiangdu did not take his entourage seriously when it was stopped. But when he saw Ye, she was dressed in tight clothes, holding a long sword in her right hand with a cold expression. He became nervous and worried that she might have misunderstood his intention and would get angry and strike him with a sword.
But now that he was here, the Grand Chancellor, King Jiangdu, who had seen many storms but had never been involved in one, finally made up his mind and revealed his purpose: "I have heard of Miss Ye's name for a long time in the capital. I used to admire the current wife of Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhu, very much. Now that I know there is a heroine like Miss Ye, she..."
King Jiangdu paused, organized his words again, and then said in the most sincere manner: "She became even more interested in learning martial arts. When she learned that Miss Ye was also going to teach martial arts at the Women's School, she argued with us at home and insisted on going to the Women's School and learning martial arts from you."
Ye stood there quietly with a cold face, until the King of Jiangdu said that Princess Hailing was clamoring to go to the girls' school. Then she smiled and said calmly: "Since the king has come to me today, I think you are against the princess's determination to practice martial arts? Do you think that women are virtuous if they have no talent, and they just need to be obedient and be good women in the inner house, and they don't need to learn anything else?"
"Of course I didn't mean that!" King Jiangdu didn't expect to be rebuked just after he opened his mouth. He was a little embarrassed and angry for a moment. "My daughter is the apple of our family's eye. We are not afraid that she will learn martial arts and become aggressive. Anyway, we will help her unconditionally. I'm just afraid that practicing martial arts is too hard. If you are not careful, you may injure your limbs while practicing martial arts!"
