Chapter 87 There's something exciting going on, come quickly
He was not a fool and had long seen that the eldest prince seemed to have a special liking for his daughter and had praised her in front of him intentionally or unintentionally many times.
The daughter's maid also said that the eldest prince took good care of her young lady, but the eldest prince had already married a principal wife, so if the daughter went there, she could only be a concubine.
But no matter what, it's better than marrying a useless man, right?
"Okay! Don't panic. Dad will go find Doctor Wang. If it's true, we can take a long-term approach to this matter."
"Dad, go quickly. Your daughter needs to get accurate information tonight." Yang Yurong urged, "We can't get stuck in a meaningless Pingyang Marquis Mansion. It's best to get out of here as soon as possible."
Yang Zheng nodded: "Dad knows, don't worry!"
No, she is anxious.
After Yang Zheng left, Yang Yurong wrote a flowery note and gave it to her maid: "Hurry up and send it to the King of Qi and ask him to meet at Fengge."
It was already mid-afternoon, so it was still in time to arrange a meeting. She had to catch Ouyang Qing, otherwise if she broke off the engagement with Ye Tingxiao, she would become a joke among the noble ladies in Kyoto.
Doctor Wang returned to the mansion and felt very sympathetic towards Ye Tingxiao's experience. If he was injured in that place at such a young age, he might not be able to keep his position as the crown prince in the future.
How could a big family want a prince who has no children?
It is really sad that Marquis Pingyang had only one son, and he ended up like this.
That child has been living with Pingyang Hou in Liang County for these years, guarding the border city of Wei, and rarely comes back. I didn't expect to find that he was injured when he came back, which was really a pity.
"Sir! The Minister of Rites wants to see you."
"Minister of Rites?"
Doctor Wang was stunned, his pupils shrank slightly, and he felt that Yang Zheng's methods were really powerful. He came out of Pingyang Marquis's mansion just now, and chased him to his mansion right after. It can be seen how capable this man is. He must have planted spies in Pingyang Marquis's mansion.
"Please come in!"
Doctor Wang sighed. He didn't want to say this, but the Minister of Rites Yang Zheng was already here, which meant that he had received the news but had not come to verify it.
Yang Zheng came in and exchanged a few pleasantries with Doctor Wang. He didn't even bother to drink his tea and asked directly, "Doctor Wang! Is the Prince of Pingyang really no longer as powerful as he used to be?"
Doctor Wang glanced at him and remained silent. I believe Yang Zheng would have known his attitude even if he didn't say a word.
Sure enough, Yang Zheng's face was stiff. He sat there for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
There is nothing to say. It is just as my daughter said. Ye Tingxiao is no longer capable. If this is true, then this marriage cannot be completed and must be withdrawn.
But what excuse should he come up with to withdraw? He couldn't just say it outright! This would hurt the reputation of both families and it would be hard to say.
Ye Tingxiao was close to the prince, who was of noble status and would undoubtedly be the next king of Wei. If he fell out with him, the prince would be unhappy and would cause trouble for him, which would be a difficult matter.
Sitting in the carriage, he thought of several plans but none of them worked. He was at a loss as to what to do.
Yetingxiao sat in his study, listening to the information Ye Yi had gathered, his brows slightly furrowed.
He didn't care about anything else, and only grasped two key points. Yang Yurong actually got together with the eldest prince? And she was also at odds with the third daughter of the Chengguo family? This was interesting.
Ye Er came back at this moment and reported: "Master! The servants came to report that the personal maid of the daughter of the Minister of Rites went to the Prince of Qi's mansion, and then the Prince of Qi left in a carriage."
"Oh?" Ye Tingxiao was very interested. "Send someone to keep an eye on him. If you find Yang Yurong approaching him, tell the third young lady of the Chengguo family immediately. You two go together. If you succeed, I will get you another pot of water."
"real?"
"Very good!"
Ye Ye Er left the study room with a whoosh and went to work. The water was so magical that if they could get another pot, they would be sure that no one could be as good as them except the prince.
Seeing the two running faster than rabbits, Ye Tingxiao smiled evilly: "It's fake, I can't guarantee whether Miss Du can give it to me."
Yang Yurong took a carriage to Fengge and asked for a private room on the second floor, anxiously waiting for the arrival of Prince Qi Ouyang Qing.
At this moment, she no longer cared about being shy, and just wanted to hold Ouyang Qing tightly in her hands. If she broke off the engagement, no matter who was right or wrong, she would be criticized.
This move today was a bit risky, but she had to plan for herself. She couldn't let things get messy when the time came, so she had to arrange a retreat as soon as possible.
The third daughter of Duke Cheng's mansion is called Wang Xiaoyu, the most beloved daughter of Duke Cheng. She is lively by nature, hates evil, doesn't like to be pretentious, and is a real tomboy.
The Mansion of Duke Chengguo and the Mansion of Marquis Pingyang are both run by military generals. Although they don't get close to each other on weekdays, they don't have any enmity with each other.
Ye Yi went to Fengge to guard it, and when he saw the carriage of King Qi coming, he immediately passed the message to Ye Er. They had their own special means of passing messages among the secret guards, which ordinary people could not recognize.
This was specially developed to deal with the enemy, but they didn't expect that the master would ask them to use it for this. It's really a waste of talent.
For the sake of a pot of water, their complaints were alleviated a lot.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoyu was leading two maids to play shuttlecock in the yard. The girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, were at the age when they could not sit still and loved to make noise.
Suddenly something fell beside them. The maid picked it up and saw that it was a ball of paper. When she opened it, there were words inside.
The maid was illiterate and brought it to Wang Xiaoyu. On it was written: Yang Yurong and Prince Qi are having a secret meeting in Fengge. Come quickly, there will be something exciting to watch.
After watching it, Wang Xiaoyu was so excited that she didn't even bother to play shuttlecock. She quickly asked someone to prepare a car, called three or five sisters, and went to Fengge together.
Yang Yurong and the Prince of Qi? This is too exciting. Isn't Yang Yurong going to marry the Prince of Pingyang the day after tomorrow? How did she get together with the Prince of Qi?
Fengge is a teahouse, with a lobby downstairs where storytellers entertain, and private rooms upstairs, where dignitaries can relax, date, or have private conversations.
Yang Yurong wanted room number one, while Wang Xiaoyu led her sisters up quietly and asked for room number two, which was next to room number one.
The young sisters were puzzled. They knew there was something interesting to see, but they didn't know what to see.
Wang Xiaoyu didn't say anything nor let them speak. She pointed to the next room vaguely. The waiter came, served tea and snacks, and then left.
There was a smart one among the sisters. She signaled everyone to be quiet and put her ears against the wall to listen to the noise next door.
Seeing her do this, the other girls followed suit, and a moment later, they all heard voices coming from the next room.
That was Yang Yurong's voice, with a hint of tears in it, sounding very pitiful.
