Chapter 203 Prey Game
Princess Yu'an only found out about her prince brother's "good deeds" when she entered the palace today.
I was extremely happy and eager to speak to the prince.
But he was busy accompanying his mother on social engagements and had no free time.
After the emperor had finally finished speaking, everyone was able to watch the dance and chat freely.
I ran over quickly, "Brother, I have something to talk to you about!"
He pulled the prince and hid in a corner, "Such a big happy event, why didn't you let someone come and tell me?"
The prince smiled mysteriously, "You are a woman, why do you know these things?"
"What are you talking about?!" Princess Yu'an raised her eyes and became angry. "My brother's happy event is also my happy event, isn't it?"
"Okay! It's yours..." The prince stopped teasing her, "My father just told me yesterday. After talking with my mother, I went home and gathered a bunch of people to discuss it. Everyone was so excited that they went to bed in the middle of the night, so they didn't care about you!"
Yu An turned from anger to joy, "This is really a great event. Father is obviously paving the way for you. Hey, is it his body..."
"Don't talk nonsense..." The prince looked at her reproachfully.
"Brother...please arrange some work for Xu Ke. He has been thinking about this!"
The prince glanced at Princess Yu'an, "What? Are you going to find him a job again? Are you taking it seriously..."
Princess Yu'an blushed, which was rare for her. "What's true or false... He came to me for help."
"That's a strange thing to say! Please? Can you do it?" The prince rolled his eyes at her.
"He knows that I have a brother who is the crown prince!" Princess Yu'an raised her eyes and complimented the crown prince.
A smug smile appeared on the prince's face again.
"Brother! Father has given you all the power. It will be easy to recruit someone from the Imperial Guards!"
"That's easy for you to say... How many people are watching such a high-profile event? Besides, this is a good opportunity to win over people, but it has to be balanced, you know? Everyone and every place has to have an explanation!"
Princess Yu'an knew that this was indeed the case, but... "When Xu Ke said he had this idea earlier, I said I would ask my brother later. But he said that if the matter was not presided over by the crown prince, it would be difficult for him to intervene...
At that time, we never thought that our father would really hand this over to you. What a coincidence! Brother... even if my sister begs you..."
"But what benefit can I get from this except making you happy?"
"Look at what my brother said... Don't you want the Xu family to follow you?" Princess Yu'an tempted.
The prince sneered, "Of course I want it! But Xu Ke can't represent the Xu family. If the eldest son of the Xu family says this, I can consider it... Xu Ke, it's far from enough!"
"That depends on how deeply he is trapped..." Princess Yu'an's face turned cold, with certainty and calculation, "If it really comes to a life-and-death decision for the entire family, no matter how cunning the old fox of the Xu family is, he has no choice!"
The prince looked at his sister with satisfaction, "You still have some ability... Then I'll look back! But don't think too highly of yourself."
"Thank you, brother! Don't worry, Xu Ke and I have discussed this before: given his status in the Xu family, if he wants to have a good future quickly, he has to bet big! He understands all this. Brother... Xu Ke is quite capable. If, in the future, he really makes a great contribution to you... you have to give him a big benefit."
"If he has really made great efforts, what does it matter if he is given a big benefit?" the prince replied calmly.
Then he turned around and looked at his sister carefully, "But... sister: Just go for his looks, that's enough. Promise him some benefits to get him to do something, that's fine too. But, whether it's love or pride... you must never get involved with him again. Haven't you suffered enough? Until now, you haven't left the wolf's den yet, so don't think about going into the tiger's den again."
"Don't worry! Xu Keke is not Dongfang... I can catch him!" Princess Yu'an said with drooping eyelids.
"Since you care so much about him, why not just end it with Dongfang and marry him? The Xu family has the Emperor and Empress Dowager granting the marriage, so how can it not work out?"
"But how can I find out from Dongfang?" Princess Yu'an's eyes were gloomy. "When I hated him so much, I did think of a way. But I couldn't do anything to him. If I continue, it will drag down my mother and brother, and it will be more trouble than it is worth!
Besides, even though I've waited for so many years... I don't have time to sit around and wait for someone to come back. I'm having fun, so what's there to be afraid of? Let's wait and see who will outlast the other in the end."
The prince shook his head, helplessly, "You! Can women be the same as men? If father was not in poor health, he would still have a sixteen-year-old beauty to accompany him. But as for women, in two years, you won't be able to have children..."
"Okay!" Princess Yu'an was angry. She didn't like to hear this.
"Then let's not talk about it. Just understand it yourself. Now, you have to keep your relationship with Xu Ke a secret and don't make a fool of yourself. Even now, father doesn't love us that much. It's not the time for you to do whatever you want..." the prince said seriously.
Princess Yu'an was angry for a while, then she smiled again: "Xu Ke's wife is the sister of Princess Qi. It's quite refreshing to humiliate them in a roundabout way."
"Well... that's true." The prince looked at Mo Yi who was talking to Concubine Liang and touched his chin. "You said that this Princess Qi... looks like an ordinary woman at first glance, but the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes... what's going on?" He narrowed his eyes, hiding his emotions.
Princess Yu'an smiled and said, "How about... I give my brother a chance to look closer and carefully?"
The prince laughed, "Although I really want to...but now is not the right time!" He felt sorry.
"Let's wait and see!" Princess Yu'an's eyes flashed with brilliance, and no one knew what she was planning.
Then, the brother and sister looked at each other, with a kind of excitement of finding prey in their eyes...
…
Mo Yi sat next to Concubine Liang, listening to her soft words while silently scanning the scene.
Concubine Liang spoke softly and at a slow pace, but she kept on talking...
Moreover, she knew a lot.
Mo Yi was a little puzzled. The impression this Concubine Liang gave her was: honest, dutiful, and quiet. She didn't care about anything, didn't fight or compete, and didn't know anything when asked...but she didn't expect that she had heard a lot of things...she was well-informed about gossip.
The two of them started from one end of the hall, and Liang Fei could say a few words to anyone Mo Yi was interested in.
I guess she has a lot to say to Mo Yuan...
"Look at the Crown Prince and Princess Yu'an...are they close siblings?" Mo Yi looked at Princess Yu'an, who was talking to the Crown Prince with a rich expression. Sometimes she was happy, sometimes angry, and sometimes she looked a little flattering.
The prince looked at her with a smile, his emotions stable, and it was obvious that the two had a close relationship.
"Yes." Concubine Liang turned her head to take a look, then looked away. "In the palace, there are too many conflicts of interest, and they are too complicated. Even among compatriots, not many can really get along well. The Queen gets along very well with her son and daughter."
"This lady... does things very properly!"
For so many years, she hadn't said a word, and had hindered her and Little Fourteen's future...
Others didn't feel anything strange at all.
I have to admit...
The work is not finished yet, so I will post one chapter today just like yesterday.
