Chapter 272 Falling out

Zhang Yun ran to the palace, but found nothing.

"The young lady has been invited to a banquet at Princess Jia'an's mansion." said the servant of the palace.

Zhang Yun felt even worse.

Princess Jia'an rarely invites anyone to her banquets.

Why did you invite Yang Yi?

Yesterday I kindly told her to stay away from the princess, but I never thought that she would go to the princess's mansion for a banquet today.

You're really making fun of people like fools.

Zhang Yun remembered Hu Yingyue's words.

How well do you know her?

You opened your heart to her, how much truth did she tell you?

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes.

"What gifts did my mother prepare?" Zhang Yun asked the accompanying nanny.

"Some time ago I got a box of colored beads, and Madam said she would string them into a bracelet for Miss Hu."

Such a thing is not enough for a princess.

"Give the beads to Miss Hu. Didn't she want to stay with the prince forever? Just consider it as me adding to her makeup."

Compared with Yang Yi's deception, it is not so difficult to accept that Prince Rui has a beloved girl.

Zhang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go buy some snacks."

"Where are you going, girl?"

"Princess's Mansion."

The nanny was horrified. "You'd better not go. Princess Jia'an is not someone you can get along with."

She said to the nanny, "I know the princess is not easy to get along with, but I am not going to look for her."

If Yang Yi really used her as a knife, she would just remind the princess not to associate with this person.

What Zhang Yun was even more afraid of was that she had said something bad about the princess yesterday, and Yang Yi would turn around and sell her out.

In that case, it’s better to talk it out face to face.

"Mammy, don't worry. As long as I don't offend the princess, she won't kill me for no reason."

My father always said that Your Majesty and the Crown Prince were both excellent people.

A princess who has the trust of His Majesty and the Crown Prince will not be someone who kills innocent people.

"Then should we go back home and ask Madam to prepare new gifts?"

Buying some snacks is not as good as buying that box of colored beads.

"Just listen to me." Zhang Yun said.

If my mother knew, I would definitely not be able to go.

She had met the princess at the market, where she was eating snacks and was in a good mood.

The princess has all kinds of precious things, and the best things from the Zhang family may not catch her eye. It would be better to buy some ordinary things.

The nanny said no more.

When the carriage arrived at the market, it was still early and the pastry chef had just started the stove.

"Give him some money and ask him to start working quickly. Make me a portion of each snack first." Zhang Yun ordered.

The master got the money and started working quickly.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yun went to the princess's mansion with freshly baked snacks.

Naturally, he was stopped by the guards of the princess's mansion.

"Please tell the princess that the daughter of Zhang Jing, the second-in-command of the cabinet, wants to see her." Zhang Yun directly introduced her family background.

The guards left.

Zhang Yun waited outside obediently.

She was still a little nervous.

Soon, someone came out to greet her, "Miss Zhang, please come in. The princess has also invited Miss Yang today. I heard that you two are good friends."

Zhang Yun couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

He smiled but didn't say anything.

She was led to the backyard of the princess's mansion.

In the huge warm room, Yang Yi was the only one there.

"Why are you here?" Yang Yi was stunned when he saw her.

Zhang Yun got straight to the point, "I just went to see someone."

"Who is it?"

"Hu Yingyue."

Yang Yi was very disappointed with Zhang Yun's attitude.

She didn't expect that the daughter of the Grand Censor and the Second Prime Minister of the Cabinet was actually a coward.

After his beloved was taken away, he not only did not kill Hu Yingyue, but also ran to see her.

What's there to see?

Just kill such a lowly person.

At the very least, they would teach the person a lesson, cutting off his limbs or something like that.

"Did she say something to you?" Yang Yi's expression remained unchanged.

Zhang Yun's face turned cold. "Did you tell Prince Rui yesterday that you wanted to marry him?"

Yang Yi smiled, "You know everything?"

This is an admission.

Her indifferent attitude severely irritated Zhang Yun.

"You knew I was attracted to him, yet you still took the initiative to talk to him like that. You're really going too far!"

Yang Yi walked to a chair nearby and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "Are you the only one who can please a man like him? Forget about saying he doesn't like you. Even if he does, as long as the conditions I offer make him willing to marry me, so what?"

Yang Yi had no intention of hiding it.

It can't be hidden.

If I had known that Zhang Yun was so useless, I wouldn’t have wasted the medicinal herbs sent to the Zhang family yesterday.

If it weren't inconvenient for me to take action in the capital, I wouldn't have to look for this waste.

Zhang Yun was speechless for a long while before she said sternly, "You...how can you say such a thing."

She obviously couldn't accept it and took a step forward. "If it were someone else, it would be fine, but aren't we friends? You know what's in my heart, and yet..."

"I've told you everything, but you've never revealed your thoughts to me."

Yang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why should I tell you?"

"Then why did you tell me yesterday that Prince Rui had someone he loved so that you could use me to deal with that girl?" Zhang Yun was very angry.

Yang Yi said, "You think too much. I just can't bear to see your sincerity go to waste."

She looked at Zhang Yun with a smile, "Besides, how can I control what you do?"

Zhang Yun took a step back.

It is impossible to tell which of Yang Yi's words are true and which are false.

"You're lying to me."

Tears have filled my eyes.

Zhang Yun followed her father from Binzhou to the capital, but she was unable to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

No one plays with her.

Only Yang Yi treats her well.

She naively thought that Yang Yi was also excluded because he came from Yunnan.

She also thought that the two of them could become close friends.

Ridiculous, so ridiculous.

No wonder her mother always told her not to get too close to Yang Yi, and several sisters-in-law also said that Yang Yi was a thoughtful person.

She couldn't listen.

Now I understand all the things that my mother and sister-in-law could never teach me.

Zhang Yun took a breath and held back her tears.

"People like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later."

Yang Yi didn't react at all.

Zhang Yun turned around and left, but almost bumped into Qu Ling.

"Why are you leaving right after you got here? Didn't you two know each other well? Sit down and have dinner together before you leave."

Qu Ling put his hands on Zhang Yun's shoulders to prevent her from bumping into him.

"Princess……"

Zhang Yun's tears fell.

"What happened? Did two good sisters have a fight?" Qu Ling took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Zhang Yun's voice was dull, "She is not my sister."

Yang Yi stood up and saluted, "Princess, you are finally here. If you hadn't come earlier, my stomach would have been filled with tea."

The tone was just a casual teasing, but there was a hint of resentment in his heart.

Qu Ling made her wait for almost two hours!

The post stated the time for her to come, and she came before dawn and has been waiting until now!

I can't leave.

The tea made her want to curse.

"I didn't know you were in such a hurry to come here," Qu Ling said with a smile, "I originally wanted you to come for lunch, but I have been busy dealing with things in the court, so I was busy just now."

Yang Yi's face stiffened slightly.

She heard the boasting in Qu Ling's words.

What's so great about having the trust of His Majesty?

"I don't remember the time when the princess sent the message." Yang Yi smiled, without any resentment on his face.

"The posts were all written by the servants. It must have been an oversight." Qu Ling brushed it off lightly.

What else could Yang Yi say?

All the back teeth were broken.

He pulled out a brocade box from behind his back and said apologetically, "I said something wrong at Fengzui Tower yesterday. I came here today to apologize to the princess."

"Miss Yang is so eager to choose a husband, how could I blame you?"

Qu Ling said, "It's just that you have no chance to be the Prince Consort or the Prince Rui."

Zhang Yun on the side was extremely angry.

What a considerate, gentle and dignified Yang Yi.

It turns out that she not only has her sights set on Prince Rui, but she also dares to extend her claws to the son-in-law.

"I'm afraid there are more than just these two," Zhang Yun said sarcastically, "I advise Miss Yang to be more restrained. The capital is not like Yunnan, and your Yang family is not the only one that matters."

Yang Yi's eyes turned cold. This Zhang Yun's attitude changed really quickly.

Yesterday she was calling me Sister Yang affectionately, but today she turned her back on me.
