Chapter 417 Appreciation
That day, Chen Wan finished making a pair of tiger-head shoes. Her neck was sore from exhaustion. Shanhu said, "The Crown Princess is pregnant with twins. Don't tire yourself out. These can be done by the embroidery room."
Chen Wan knew that the embroidery room could do it. As long as she gave the order, they could make hundreds of pairs for her.
But she had nothing to do, so she just took it as a way to kill time.
Yinchuan brought over the tea and said, "The sun is shining brightly today. Princess, would you like to go for a walk in the garden? It will snow in a few days and there won't be such nice weather anymore."
"Okay."
Chen Wan drank half a cup of tea and went out. Just then, Xie Jingyu came over from the study and accompanied Chen Wan for a walk in the garden.
The two of them first paid their respects to the princess, then walked around the garden for a while before returning to Zhaolanxuan.
As he walked up the stairs and prepared to go back to his room for tea, he heard a voice calling from behind, "Brother Jing Yu..."
The voice was familiar, and a little weak.
Shen Wan turned around and saw a masked man coming over in the sunlight. It was the Prince of Yuzhang.
Shen Wan, “…???”
Why does he look so miserable?
Prince Yuzhang came over and looked at Xie Jingyu. "Didn't you tell me yesterday that things will work out when the time comes?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Shen."
Prince Yuzhang, “……!!!”
Have you had a heart attack?
Prince Yuzhang covered his heart.
It's not just the pain in my heart, but also the pain in my flesh from being kicked.
Xie Jingyu asked, "It sank so quickly?"
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Was he being cheated?
It must be!
If he couldn't beat Xie Jingyu, Prince Yuzhang would have fought with him. How could he betray his brother like that? He knew the boat would sink, but instead of warning him, he encouraged him to sink it quickly. Isn't this just asking for his early death and reincarnation?
The Prince of Yuzhang felt very disappointed.
You either need to take action sooner or not at all for this disappointing heart of yours.
Neither going up nor down, don’t you want his life?
Under the mask, the Prince of Yuzhang's face, which was bruised and swollen, was in great pain.
Um.
Yesterday, the Lin Mansion held an adopted son banquet, and Prince Yuzhang and Wei Mingzhu both wanted to go to congratulate, so they made an appointment to meet at Changqiao outside the city today.
Early in the morning, Prince Yuzhang went there to wait. There was no other way, as his brothers all needed to run away. If he went out late, he would run into his brothers and it would be difficult to escape.
He waited at Changqiao for more than half an hour, but did not see Wei Mingzhu. Instead, he met the Prince of Weiguo.
The Prince of Weiguo felt that his sister had been acting abnormally recently. Because she was laughed at when she went out, and because she kept running into Prince Yuzhang, she didn't like to go out shopping. But after the Lantern Festival, she went out every few days, and her mood was much better than before.
My younger sister is in a good mood, and as her eldest brother, I am also happy, but there has been nothing particularly happy in the mansion recently. In addition, my younger sister has met a masked man, and the Prince of Weiguo is afraid that my younger sister will be deceived, so he has to pay attention to her.
The prince of Weiguo asked Wei Mingzhu if she had seen the man later. Wei Mingzhu was afraid that her elder brother would be unhappy, so she quickly denied it.
Out of trust in his sister, the Prince of Weiguo believed it, but he was busy those days and didn't take care of it.
But his sister's mood became better and better, and she looked like a young girl with amorous thoughts, which made the Prince of Weiguo unhappy. Although he hoped that his sister would marry a man whose family background, appearance and talent were better than those of the Prince of Yuzhang, he also knew that this was difficult. The most important thing for his sister was to marry someone who loved her and had a smooth life.
But since the other party is interested in his sister, why doesn't he come to propose marriage?
Ten days have passed since the Lantern Festival. If things were fast, the betrothal gifts should have been sent to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Knowing that his sister was being stubborn and he couldn't get anything out of her, the Prince of Wei asked Wei Mingzhu's maid. The maid had been ordered to gag, so she hesitated, not daring to tell the truth nor to lie to the Prince of Wei.
The maid confessed as soon as the Prince of Weiguo threatened her. "I don't know who that masked man is, but he's very kind to me..."
If you like someone, just come and propose marriage openly. It's not like being a gentleman to be sneaky and have private dealings with them.
The Prince of Weiguo asked, "Where do they usually meet?"
The maidservant listed eight or nine places in one breath.
The Prince of Weiguo, "..."
The Prince of Weiguo was planning to sit back and wait for something to happen, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to do.
The maid said, "He asked me to meet you tomorrow at the Changqiao Bridge outside the city..."
The truth will come out sooner or later.
Although the girl was wearing a veil, if she was recognized, her already pitiful reputation would be completely ruined.
The prince loves his younger sister the most and he will not harm her, so the maid told her everything.
The next day, Wei Mingzhu left the Duke of Wei's mansion in a carriage. The Duke of Wei asked the servant to take Wei Mingzhu to her maternal grandfather's house, and he went to Changqiao to keep the appointment on Wei Mingzhu's behalf.
As soon as he arrived, the Prince of Weiguo felt that the masked man was very familiar, but he did not think much about it. He knew from his clothes that he was a child of aristocratic family. It was normal for him to have seen him before.
Prince Yuzhang was standing there admiring the scenery. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and saw that it was the Prince of Weiguo. His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
The Prince of Weiguo asked, "My sister told me that you saved her life during the Lantern Festival?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "It's just a small favor."
The Duke of Weiguo's son said, "Your Excellency's simple act is a great favor to our Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. I should come and express my gratitude. May I know where your mansion is?"
Prince Yuzhang said hurriedly, "No need to thank me."
The Prince of Weiguo said, "Before I came, I had someone prepare a banquet. Would you be so kind as to have a chat with me?"
...I can't refuse this favor.
In addition, as Xie Jingyu said, let him make friends with the prince of Weiguo, and things will work out in the end.
Prince Yuzhang said decisively, "It is my responsibility to invite Prince Wei."
No matter who invited you, you will sit at a table.
The fact that Prince Yuzhang was wearing a mask did not affect his eating and drinking. The Prince of Weiguo chartered a boat. Most restaurants do not have good sound insulation, and he was afraid that someone would hear his sister having private dealings with a man, which would damage her reputation.
You can speak more casually on the boat.
The Prince of Yuzhang wanted to make friends with the Prince of Weiguo. The Prince of Weiguo was grateful to the man for saving his sister's life. Both of them had good attitudes and had a very pleasant conversation.
The Prince of Weiguo felt that the man had good conversation and knowledge, and his character should be good. The Prince of Yuzhang knew why the Prince of Weiguo was looking for him, and he said, "I will marry Mingzhu."
The Prince of Weiguo laughed and said, "It's inappropriate to discuss such a major matter as marriage while wearing a mask, right?"
Does Prince Yuzhang dare to take off his mask?
He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had some courage.
Prince Yuzhang said, "It's not quite appropriate. Let's not talk about it today and just drink."
The Prince of Weiguo frowned but said nothing.
After all, he saved his sister, and his sister came out to see him every few days, so she must like him.
Maybe he has his own reasons and can't show his true face to others, but what is there that can't be seen? Could it be that he already has a wife at home?
Not wanting to think too much, the Prince of Weiguo raised his glass to the man, and the two of them drank while enjoying the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.
Xie Jingyu had predicted that the Prince of Yuzhang would be exposed when he came into contact with the Prince of Weiguo. Before they had even finished their meal, the Prince of Weiguo's brows were already twisted into knots.
Because some of the habits of the person sitting opposite him are too much like those of Prince Yuzhang.
The Prince of Weiguo felt as if the person sitting opposite him was the Prince of Yuzhang.
The Prince of Weiguo felt that his idea was outrageous, and that this man could not be the Prince of Yuzhang.
But once this feeling comes, I can no longer suppress it.
Especially the way Prince Yuzhang thinks, most people can't follow it at all, so it's normal for anything outrageous to happen to him.
The Prince of Weiguo was also a smart man. He tested the situation a little bit. Since Prince Yuzhang didn't like eating fish and thought it had too many bones and was difficult to eat, he picked up a large piece of fish with chopsticks and gave it to him.
While Prince Yuzhang was busy picking out fish bones, the Prince of Weiguo called out, "Prince Yuzhang, what do you think about this?"
A certain irritable prince had forgotten where he was and who was sitting opposite him. He thought it was Chu Yang and Zhao Ang, so without thinking, he asked, "What's the matter?"
After answering, the person froze.
The Prince of Yuzhang looked up and met the fiery eyes of the Prince of Weiguo, then turned around and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The Prince of Weiguo grabbed his shoulder, dodged, reached out, and took off the mask on his face.
Prince Yuzhang, “…………!!!”
The sky just fell.
The Prince of Weiguo gritted his teeth in anger, "Xiao Cheng! It really is you!"
Really, the Prince of Weiguo was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
The Prince of Weiguo clenched the mask in his hand, "What exactly are your intentions towards my sister?!"
The revelation was so sudden that the Prince of Yuzhang had no idea how to deal with it. He panicked and said, "I have no ulterior motives. I just want to marry her..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he did, the Prince of Weiguo became even angrier.
He had such a good opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty in the palace that day, but he was afraid that the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would hold him responsible and throw his sister into the lotus pond, becoming a laughing stock in Kyoto. Fortunately, his sister had a strong mentality. If it were someone else, they would have cried a lot, or even committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation.
You didn't want to marry him before, but now you're teasing his sister?
The Prince of Weiguo had always wanted to beat the Prince of Yuzhang, and he had endured it until now, but this time he could no longer bear it.
Even if it saved his sister's life, it wouldn't work!
The Prince of Weiguo threw a punch. It was the first time that the Prince of Yuzhang was beaten and he did not dare to fight back.
The prince of Weiguo was quite skilled in martial arts, and the prince of Yuzhang had no way to dodge without fighting back, and was beaten black and blue.
Even so, the Prince of Weiguo was still not satisfied and kicked the Prince of Yuzhang into the lake.
"Stay away from my sister from now on!"
