The Prince of Yueqing was only 28 years old, had a clean appearance, spoke with a smile, and had a clear and warm voice.
In modern terms, he is a sunny and cheerful big boy.
Too bad it's all a disguise.
"My royal brother, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. Please stand up! Please take a seat."
Prince Yueqing stood up with a smile and sat down next to the emperor. "I've heard a lot about the little princess along the way. I'm sure that the one your brother is holding is the little princess!"
In his eyes, it was just a baby who only knew how to drink milk, at most a little cuter than ordinary children. Yet, his royal brother treated the child like a treasure and took care of him himself.
But if my brother does this, I will have a better chance of sitting on the supreme throne, right?
[Don't you know exactly who you're holding? Why talk about me when there are so many other things to talk about?]
"Indeed, Luo'er, I summoned my brother to discuss your residence."
"Your Majesty, you know that I am not picky, so you can just stay in the residence before leaving the capital."
"It's just right, the mansion has been maintained." The emperor didn't hear Yu Yiluo's voice, and lowered his eyes to find that the little guy looked drowsy.
He shook his arms, and Yu Yiluo was frightened and raised her little hands to rub her eyes.
[I'm so scared! Can't I even sleep? You're such a wimp and yet you love to take care of me. My hands are shaking just from how much I hold you. I'm so weak, I need to go get Dr. Lin a prescription.]
emperor:"……"
Luo'er is cuter when she's asleep.
"Thank you, my Royal Brother," Prince Yueqing stood up. "I haven't been back to the capital for many years. I imagine the capital has changed a lot. If you are alright, my Royal Brother, I will take my leave."
[Haven't you been back to Beijing in years? You mean you haven't been back to Beijing openly in years?]
[Oh no! This guy is going to seduce the Second Emperor's wife. Last time, she ignored him, but now he can go openly. He has to show off.]
"Go away, don't forget the family dinner tomorrow."
…
Prince Yueqing walked out of the palace and got on the carriage, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Your Highness, shall we return to the palace?" the subordinate asked as he got on the carriage.
"Go to Fengyue Tower."
Prince Yueqing thought of Yanran's face, which was stunning even when only half of it was exposed, and sneered in his heart.
The reason he hadn't seen her before was simply because he didn't know her identity, but this time he wanted to take a look at the face of the courtesan under her veil.
The carriage slowly drove towards Fengyue Tower. After it stopped, Prince Yueqing stood up, got off the carriage and walked in.
The madam was stunned for a moment when she saw him, then she came up to him with a smile.
"Which girl does this gentleman want to accompany him?"
"Your Majesty is a noble man, so naturally he needs the best girl here to accompany him."
"Don't be unreasonable," Prince Yueqing glanced at his subordinates, then said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Yanran is very talented, so I came here because of her reputation."
The madam hesitated for a moment and sighed.
"Your Highness, you may not know that Yanran is ill and cannot see guests."
"That's all right," Prince Yueqing said, seemingly oblivious to the madam's refusal. "Since Miss Yanran is ill, I'll come back another day."
…
After returning home.
The subordinate asked in confusion, "The madam is clearly talking nonsense. Why doesn't the prince let me expose her?"
"As a beauty, it's natural for her to have a temper," Prince Yueqing said, stroking his teacup with a sullen expression. "There's no rush. Let's talk about Yang Wen, who just arrived in the capital. Let's see if he can be of use to me."
Although he secretly returned to Beijing in recent years, he could only use this opportunity to understand the situation in the capital and could not do anything else.
Now that the country is stable, if he wants that position, he can only use his wits to gain it, and not torn his relationship with her unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Your Highness, Yang Wen is a man of integrity. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get him to submit to you."
Are you an upright person?
Prince Yueqing didn't care. As long as one is a human being, he will have things that he cares about.
No matter how upright you are, you still have weaknesses.
"By the way, Your Highness, do you still remember the letter you received a few months ago?"
Prince Yueqing and his subordinates exchanged a glance, then laughed, "This Yang Wen's daughter is quite interesting."
He shamelessly said that he wanted to conspire with him to do something big, and claimed that he knew a lot about him.
However, he did not take it seriously at that time. Yang Wen was not in the capital and could not help him, so he naturally would not expose himself easily.
Now I can help.
…
The next evening.
That is the New Year’s Eve family dinner.
Yu Yiluo was dressed up by Empress Xian like a New Year picture doll and brought to the event.
【Luckily, there aren't too many people here. I can finally meet my love-brained sister. 】
[Let me see where the fifth sister is.]
The fifth princess, who was sitting in the corner, heard the sound and subconsciously looked at the sixth princess. However, the sixth princess just blinked at her and did not speak.
Seeing that no one else was acting unusually, the fifth princess thought she was hallucinating.
She looked away and poured herself a cup of tea, and the childish voice sounded in her ears again.
[Oh, I saw the Fifth Princess. She looks a little haggard. Maybe she was abused by her husband.]
[A good princess, yet she insists on being treated like a slave. I wonder if the fifth princess chose her husband with her eyes closed, otherwise why would she choose such a violent man?]
The fifth princess confirmed the source of the voice and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but she felt it was inappropriate.
The prince consort is a good person, it’s me who is not good.
The few people who could hear the inner voices all had the same idea in their minds.
The prince consort actually bullied the princess?
The Sixth Princess was thankful that she had not yet married.
She happily picked up a piece of dessert and put it into her mouth, and Yu Yiluo's voice rang out again.
[Sixth Princess is enjoying her meal! Come spring, you'll be following in Fifth Princess' footsteps.]
[It's so tragic. Being in love is really unacceptable.]
