Duke Rong was a little surprised when he heard from his servants that Prince Yueqing was visiting.
Prince Yueqing had no connection with the Duke of Rong's Mansion, so what was his intention in coming here suddenly?
He had heard that the Emperor had reprimanded Prince Yueqing a few days ago. Was Prince Yueqing coming to him so brazenly because he wanted the Emperor to notice his Duke Rong's Mansion?
"Go and invite the prince in."
Prince Yueqing, who was originally waiting at the door, happened to see Yuan Ming, the youngest son of Duke Rong, when he was led to the flower hall.
When Yuan Ming saw King Yueqing, he, who was practicing martial arts, stabbed King Yueqing with the weapon in his hand.
Prince Yueqing moved sideways to avoid his attack.
The servants were worried that Yuan Ming would hurt Prince Yueqing, so they stepped forward to stop him.
"Second Young Master, this is the prince, the master's guest. You can't hurt him."
Yuan Ming put away his weapon, glanced at King Yueqing fiercely, and turned away.
"I'm sorry to have frightened Your Highness. The Second Young Master has an intellectual disability and only thinks about fighting all day long. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Prince Yueqing looked at Yuan Ming's departing back and slowly looked away to express his understanding.
When Yuan Ming attacked him just now, he did not have any murderous intentions, probably because he wanted to compete with him.
While others said Yuan Ming was ugly, in his opinion it was not the case.
Yuan Ming has a rough appearance and a sturdy build. Most of his face is covered by a thick and unkempt beard, making him look quite ferocious.
"Master, the prince is here."
Prince Yueqing collected his thoughts and explained his purpose with a smile.
"I heard that there is a calligraphy and painting in the Rongguo Mansion that was inscribed by my father. I came here specially to take a look. I hope the Duke will forgive me if I disturbed you."
Duke Rong welcomed Prince Yueqing in with a smile.
"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me, Your Highness, please take a seat."
After Prince Yueqing sat down, Duke Rong immediately ordered someone to serve tea. After the tea was almost finished, he ordered someone to bring the calligraphy and paintings.
"It's very lively outside today. I was surprised to see Second Young Master Yuan still at the mansion."
Duke Rong, who was originally drinking tea, became interested and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Why would my son's presence in your house surprise Your Highness?"
Where is his son if he is not at home? Prince Yueqing speaks very strangely.
"The Qin Mansion is holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride today. Any man of suitable age and decent family background is welcome to participate. I thought Second Young Master Yuan was also participating."
As Prince Yueqing finished speaking, his servant went to fetch the calligraphy and paintings.
"Master, the calligraphy and paintings are here."
Duke Rong was still immersed in the words of Prince Yueqing. Upon hearing this, he took the calligraphy and painting and handed it to Prince Yueqing.
The Prince of Yueqing did not come here for the calligraphy and paintings. After opening them and looking at them, he exchanged a few words and then stood up to say goodbye.
Duke Rong is a smart man. He will stop at the right time, and the other party will definitely seize this opportunity.
…
As soon as Prince Yueqing left, Duke Rong sent someone to call Yuan Ming.
The youngest son has been an adult for several years, but because of his intellectual problems and appearance, no one is willing to marry their daughter to him.
Now that the Qin family's martial arts competition for a bride only requires family background, why not let the youngest son try?
Although Qin Qianqian's reputation is not very good, her son is already in this situation. She is satisfied to find someone with such a good family background and does not ask for anything else.
Anyway, the younger son is in good health, so Qin Qianqian won’t be able to hurt him if they get married.
"Dad." Yuan Ming was interrupted while practicing martial arts, and came in with an unhappy face.
"Tomorrow, there will be fun things to do in the Qin Mansion. Daddy will ask someone to take you there, okay?"
Yuan Ming shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to compete."
"There are people competing in martial arts everywhere. Don't you like martial arts competitions?" Rong Gongguo coaxed softly, "As long as you win the competition tomorrow, you can get married."
The youngest son has two hobbies: one is martial arts competition, and the other is wanting a wife.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was as happy as a child, but then he frowned again when he thought of something.
"It's a lie."
His father had said before that he would find him a wife, but he still hasn't seen her.
So Daddy must be lying to him and playing a trick on him.
"Daddy didn't lie to you. When you go there, you'll know what Daddy said is true."
…
When Yuan Ming's servant took him to Qin's mansion, a lot of people had already gathered at the gate.
The two men walked past these people and went inside, where the primary election had already begun.
The young men in the capital all knew Yuan Ming and were surprised when they saw him.
What's there for them to compete with now that Yuan Ming is here? Just looking at Yuan Ming's physique, they are no match for him.
Qin Qianqian in the room felt that it seemed noisier outside than before. She stood up and stuck her head out to see what was going on. When she saw Yuan Ming standing out in the crowd, she exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xue asked softly.
Several people are now on the second floor. Looking down from the window, they can see the set up arena and everything about it.
At this time, Lin Qi walked up to the prince and whispered, "I just saw Prince Yueqing go to the Duke of Rong's mansion."
Yu Yiluo blinked her eyes.
[Goodness me, could the King of Yueqing have tricked Yuan Ming into coming here? Seeing how surprised Qin Qianqian is, this is really going to end badly.]
[With Yuan Ming here, all the other young masters are nothing but losers, and even the Fourth Prince is no match for them.]
[Sixth Princess is probably going to be emo, but the rules can't be changed casually.]
The Sixth Princess put down the tea in her hand and looked out.
"Yuan Ming is here." She sat down on the chair like a frost-bitten eggplant, thinking it was all over.
Luo'er is right, the rules cannot be changed casually.
"Sister Xue, what should we do?"
Qin Qianqian also looked at Mu Xue expectantly, hoping that she could come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
"Now that everyone is here, we can only follow the rules," the Crown Prince said, looking at the Sixth Princess and Qin Qianqian. "Everyone knows about the Qin Mansion's martial arts competition, and Young Master Yuan is indeed eligible to participate. If we force him not to participate, it would be like slapping the face of the Duke of Rong's Mansion."
Prince Yueqing probably thought of this before going to the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
"Your Highness is right," Mu Xue patted Qin Qianqian's shoulder. "This time, they've really gone too far. Let's wait and see. We'll find a way."
[Actually, Yuan Ming's presence seems to be a good thing. If Yuan Ming ultimately takes first place, it would be easier for him to give up than for others.]
[The Prince of Yueqing is truly bored, and all he does all day is stir up trouble everywhere.]
[According to the time calculation, Shen Yu should have discovered the secret of King Yueqing by now. Why hasn't he revealed it yet? ]
The secret of King Yueqing?
The Sixth Princess and the Crown Prince pricked up their ears and heard Yu Yiluo sigh again.
[It seems like there's still something going on. I guess I can only wait.]
The prince came here to find out whether Prince Yueqing would get involved. Now that he knew, he stood up and told a few people that he had something to do, then got up and left.
"Qianqian, I'm sorry." The Sixth Princess realized the seriousness of the matter and apologized.
"It's okay." Qin Qianqian naturally didn't want to marry Yuan Ming, but she didn't blame the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess's idea was good, but it was also her own consent that led to the current situation.
