But that's not the point.
The key point is that for a moment, Yang Tiejiang actually saw the shadow of Qi Yue in her, which made him dazed.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Yuchang."
Eunuch Li and other eunuchs bowed in greeting.
Yang Tiejiang also reacted and bowed: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness Princess Yuchang."
Princess Yuchang raised her gentle smile slightly, "Long time no see, Marquis."
Yang Tiejiang grinned, "It's been many years, but I didn't expect Your Highness to still be as young and beautiful as before. When I saw her just now, I thought she was some young lady from some boudoir!"
Princess Yuchang was stunned.
Then she laughed and said, "The Marquis has changed a lot. He has learned how to flatter women and make them happy."
Yang Tiejiang laughed and said, "I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask your eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li, who was dragged out, was speechless.
How could he dare to respond to such blatant teasing of the princess? "My Lord, His Majesty is still waiting for me to return, so I won't see you off."
Eunuch Li bowed to the princess again and hurried back.
"My Lord, let's go together."
Princess Yuchang smiled and extended her hand in a gesture of invitation.
Yang Tiejiang didn't hesitate, "Your Highness, you go first. I will follow behind."
The palace is big enough.
Princess Yu Chang brought quite a few people with her. Yang Tiejiang was also followed by several eunuchs, and walking together on the palace road, they didn't cause any unnecessary gossip.
But when he walked out of the palace gate.
Princess Yuchang spoke up, "My Lord, I have a request. I wonder if you could agree to it?"
"Your Highness, please be kind. Don't ask for anything. It's embarrassing for me!"
"My Lord, you know I only have one son. I've tried every possible means to get him back to marry, but he's just a bit stubborn. Lately, he's been clamoring to go back to the military camp at the border. Now that he's gone, it'll probably be hard to get him back next time."
"So, I would like to ask the Marquis to discipline that boy for me, at least to allow him to stay in the capital until he finds a suitable girl and gets married."
"Disciplining the prince?"
Yang Tiejiang showed a hint of surprise.
"I know that the Marquis has returned to serve in mourning. But Yun'er only admires you, the Marquis. If you could discipline him during your time in the capital, it would probably be more effective than a hundred words from me. That's why I have no choice but to ask you for help."
"Of course."
"I am not forcing you, Lord. I am merely asking. If you are unwilling, I will have to find another solution."
Yang Tiejiang pondered for a moment.
Then he said, "Your Highness knows that I am a rough man. I am afraid that the level of discipline I give would be too much for Prince Xiao to handle."
"However, if Your Highness doesn't mind Prince Xiao suffering a little, then please send Prince Xiao here. But I must make this clear first. Your Highness, please don't take your anger out on my family or anything like that because you feel bad for Prince Xiao."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't do that."
"That'll do."
Yang Tiejiang bowed to Princess Yu and said, "Then I will take my leave."
"Mammy, go back and tell Yun'er to get ready and go to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion tomorrow. Let him seize this opportunity." Princess Yuchang kept watching Yang Tiejiang's back as he rode away on horseback. There was still a smile on her face, but her voice was cold.
Aunt Hua nodded: "Yes."
…
In the imperial study.
Emperor Wenyuan was wielding his brush with smooth movements, and soon he had outlined the outline of a giant holding a knife on the paper. As his movements became faster and faster, the face of the person in the painting became clearer and clearer.
Finally, when Eunuch Li returned, Emperor Wenyuan stopped writing.
The person in the painting was none other than Yang Tiejiang.
Very similar
His face was covered with a beard, his eyes were sharp and angry, and he held a big knife high above his head. It seemed as if his whole body was gathering strength, and he was about to swing the knife down.
Beneath the broadsword lay a pack of ferocious wolves, but their outlines were depicted with only a few strokes, depicting the bloody massacre they had suffered. The few remaining wolves seemed terrified, with only the leader and a cub baring their fangs, ready to pounce on the man wielding the sword...
"Sent it out?"
Emperor Wenyuan stared at the painting and asked without raising his head.
Eunuch Li replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, we sent him out. However, just before reaching the palace gate, we ran into Princess Yuchang. Princess Yuchang seemed to want to send Prince Xiao to the Marquis's residence, saying that she wanted the Marquis of Zhenbei to discipline him."
This matter was reported to him by the eunuch after he came back.
"The eldest princess?"
Emperor Wenyuan raised his head and looked down at Eunuch Li. "She's fine, why would she want to send Prince Xiao to the Marquis' Mansion for discipline?"
Eunuch Li did not dare to speculate, he just repeated what the eunuch told him.
"So that's what it is."
Emperor Wenyuan also knew Xiao Yun's personality and loved his nephew. After thinking for a moment, he instructed Eunuch Li, "Li Qing, have someone select some of the portraits prepared for A'ran and send them to the Princess's Mansion. Have her carefully select for Prince Xiao. Once she's chosen, I'll grant him the marriage."
Speaking of marriage, Emperor Wenyuan couldn't help but think of Mo Junran.
Thinking of this, he got a severe headache.
Ever since Abbot Wuji left those words that day, Emperor Wenyuan felt uncomfortable. He refused to believe in anything like bad fate or killer stars, and started arranging blind dates for Mo Junran. With the Queen Mother's persuasion, Mo Junran has been cooperating quite well these days.
But strange things began to happen frequently. All the socialites and noble ladies who had contact with Mo Junran either bumped into themselves accidentally or had inexplicable allergic rashes.
And the most serious one.
She is Bai Yu'er. I heard that in order to pursue Mo Junran, she either fell into the water or fell off a horse. Two days ago, not only did she break her two front teeth, but I heard that she also broke one leg.
The second is the daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Household.
I heard that at a banquet, she played a little trick and touched Mo Junran's clothes. The next day, the roof of her boudoir was struck by lightning, which scared her half to death. Then, a swarm of bees appeared in her house for no reason, and she was almost disfigured.
It's spreading all over the place now.
It is said that Prince Yi is doomed to be alone. Any woman who has anything to do with Prince Yi and has other thoughts about him will be either killed or injured.
Those noble ladies who were favored by Emperor Wenyuan were all of high birth and were the eldest daughters of their families. After hearing those rumors and encountering misfortunes themselves, they were naturally frightened.
