Chapter 268: Mutual Love
Yang Yi also noticed Hu Yingyue.
After leaving the palace, she attended many banquets and recognized almost all the girls of her age. She even became friends with several of them, but she had never seen the person in front of her.
She took the initiative to ask, "This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder which master's house she belongs to?"
Hu Yingyue said casually, "I just work for the princess."
Yang Yi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes hiding the contempt in her eyes, "So she is a servant in the princess's mansion."
"She's not a servant," Qu Ling said, "she's my friend."
Hu Yingyue smiled instantly.
The princess actually said that she was her friend.
The three of them entered Fengzuilou and walked up the stairs to the private room.
When I opened the door, Pei Jingming was leaning against the window sipping tea, as dazzling as a painting.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw an extra person, frowning slightly.
"Your Highness..."
Two female voices sounded at the same time.
Yang Yi and Hu Yingyue looked at each other, and the atmosphere was subtle.
"Are you acquainted with the prince?" Yang Yi's eyes grew colder.
A country girl who came from nowhere actually dared to approach Pei Jingming.
"More than just acquaintances."
Hu Yingyue rushed to Pei Jingming's side, looked up and smiled sweetly, "Your Highness and I are in love with each other, and we met too late."
"The prince said that the situation in the capital is unstable and he hid me to protect me." Hu Yingyue pretended to be shy and squeezed closer to Pei Jingming. "Last night he said he wanted to marry me..."
Pei Jingming choked on a mouthful of tea and almost lost his composure.
Qu Ling tried hard to hold back his laughter and gave Hu Yingyue an admiring look where Yang Yi couldn't see.
"Really? I don't know when the prince got a confidante."
Yang Yi forced a smile on his face, "But the prince is so romantic, and the princess will be sad when she marries him in the future."
She said to Hu Yingyue, "Miss, you can't tell anyone that you and the prince are in love. If His Majesty finds out, it will be a disaster."
It seems to be comforting, but it is actually vicious.
What he said implied that he felt Hu Yingyue was not worthy of Pei Jingming and could only be a concubine, and would not be tolerated by the future princess.
"It's good that His Majesty knows about this," Qu Ling's eyes darkened. "I brought her here today so that Prince Rui could bring her into the palace and ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage."
Yang Yi couldn't laugh anymore.
"In that case, let's be frank."
She looked directly at Pei Jingming and spoke each word with great emphasis, "If the prince marries me, ten mines in Yunnan will be my dowry."
"You said that last time."
"I have another bargaining chip. If the prince marries me, he can return to Yunnan with me and inherit the palace."
"What?"
Hu Yingyue screamed in shock.
Oh my god.
She only hated that she was not a man and was not favored by Yang Yi.
She really wanted to pull Pei Jingming over and say, "Why don't you just give in? She's really offering too much."
The ten mines alone were a fortune beyond her imagination.
The shock and regret in her eyes made Yang Yi think that she had understood the situation.
A confident smile appeared on her face. "Girl, I don't know how deep the friendship between you and the prince is, but you can't give him what I can give him."
In Yunnan, anyone who wants to marry her would circle Dianchi Lake several times.
Even after coming to the capital, her identity as the legitimate daughter of the King of Yunnan still attracted many people.
But she just fell in love with Pei Jingming.
After leaving the palace, the more she inquired, the more she insisted on Pei Jingming.
This man is very suitable to accompany her to Yunnan.
With a husband who is talented and capable, those useless people in the palace will have to wait for death.
Ten mines couldn't impress him.
That plus the whole of Yunnan.
Even if it was Prince Rui, there would be no reason to refuse.
"If the prince really likes this girl, I will also..."
"I will always be Prince Rui, but will the King of Yunnan always be the King of Yunnan?" Pei Jingming asked in a playful manner.
Yang Yi's face suddenly turned pale.
What does he mean?
Pei Jingming's smile didn't reach its depths. "The iron certificates and red books in this world are never as effective as the imperial jade certificates."
He glanced at Yang Yi, whose face was pale, with an unclear meaning.
"Besides, no matter how much gold, silver, and titles I have, can they compare to the smile of the one I love?"
Hu Yingyue grimaced in disgust and quickly lowered her head, pretending to be shy.
She knew Pei Jingming was not talking about her, but she could only pretend it was her.
broken.
After a while, she became famous.
Prince Rui rejected ten mines for her, and she became a beauty who brought disaster.
Yang Yi laughed angrily.
She lost her composure and pulled Hu Yingyue, who was staring at the tip of her shoes in a daze.
"Don't you understand your identity? He is a prince, who are you?"
"If he insists on having you, he will only be criticized by the court officials and anger His Majesty. You are pushing him into the fire pit."
Pei Jingming was about to speak when he heard Hu Yingyue roar, "Let go!"
Then Yang Yi was thrown away.
"Your Highness is such a grown man, do you really need to teach him what is right and wrong?"
"I'm doing this for his own good." The golden hairpins on Yang Yi's temples shook violently with excitement.
"Are you his father or his mother?" Hu Yingyue also raised her voice.
"Why don't you take care of yourself first?"
Hu Yingyue glanced at Yang Yi, who was covered in jewels and precious stones, and felt both disappointed and frustrated.
"A man who wins over you with wealth and status will eventually take your wealth and status for himself."
"I advise you not to use these as bargaining chips, so as to avoid losing both the wife and the army in the future."
She deliberately drew out her tone, "Oh, I'm doing this for your own good."
"you--"
Yang Yi was so angry that he was shaking all over and pointing at Hu Yingyue and talking incoherently.
As the situation became tense, Qu Ling, who had been sitting silently, spoke up, "Miss Yang, calm down."
Her voice was gentle. "There are so many men in the world, and Pei Jingming isn't much better. Just pick another one."
Yang Yi was even more annoyed by this sentence.
Without thinking, he said, "Compared to the Prince Consort, he is indeed inferior. Princess, please be generous and give the Prince Consort to me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the maids serving inside and outside the house held their breath in shock.
A hidden murderous intent emerged in Pei Jingming's eyes.
The King of Yunnan has soldiers and mines in his hands. The dispute between the emperor and the royal family has become incompatible. At this time, the attitude of the King of Yunnan is crucial.
Therefore, whether it was the emperor, the prince, or Qu Ling, they were all quite tolerant towards Yang Yi.
Qu Ling didn't get angry.
She raised her eyes to look at Yang Yi, a faint smile at the corner of her eyes, "Come to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow, I and the Prince Consort will host a banquet for you. If the Prince Consort is willing to go with you, I will naturally not force you to stay."
Yang Yiben began to regret saying that.
Qu Ling's reaction really made her feel guilty.
"The princess and I were just joking," Yang Yi laughed dryly, kneeling down. "I said something wrong. I will definitely come to your house tomorrow with gifts and an apology."
Since arriving in Beijing, she has been disguising herself very well.
I just couldn't control myself.
"Miss Yang, take care. I'll be waiting for you at the Princess's residence tomorrow."
Looking at Yang Yi's back, Qu Ling smiled slightly.
How could someone who could plot to kill his own uncle in just five days be simple?
"There's news coming from Yunnan."
Only three people were left in the room before Pei Jingming said, "The things you asked for have also been sent to the princess's residence."
