"I heard that the assassins had already torn open Duke Yang of Qi's clothes, and it was His Royal Highness the Jade Prince who arrived in time and saved Duke Yang of Qi from the assassins. Many people rushed over at the time and saw the two of them hugging each other tightly..."
"When did it happen?"
"The last time Princess Yu Chang hosted a Spring Banquet in the woods, many people saw it. Because of that incident, the Spring Banquet couldn't go ahead."
"I can prove this. I saw it with my own eyes. Duke Yang of Qi and His Royal Highness the Jade Prince were truly hugging each other. Duke Yang of Qi's clothes were almost stripped off, and he was completely huddled in His Royal Highness the Jade Prince's arms. That scene... was truly unbearable to watch."
“Why haven’t I heard of it before…”
"That's because the news was blocked."
The person who said this was a woman carrying a vegetable basket. She approached the crowd with a mysterious look on her face and said, "Today, I saw the eunuch from the palace at the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. I heard that Duke Yang of Qi had already accepted the phoenix pendant given by His Royal Highness the Jade Prince, and there's been a lot of confusion between the two of them privately."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people looked at the woman.
"What's unclear?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's Duke Yang of Qi."
"So what about Duke Yang of Qi? After all, she's a girl, and it makes sense for a woman not to get married. Besides, you all know she's been married for six years and isn't a virgin. Even if the Queen Mother says the marriage is off, she's still married. It's not easy for her to marry into a good family again, let alone into the royal family."
"Don't you think about the status of His Royal Highness the Jade Prince? He is the legitimate son of the Emperor."
"Who would be so stupid not to take advantage of the opportunity?"
That does make some sense.
Duke Yang of Qi was a woman after all.
How could this girl not get married? I heard that the palace held a blind date and Buddhist banquet last time, and Duke Yang of Qi also went there. It seems that he had some kind of fate with that Buddhist prince.
From this we can see that Duke Yang of Qi also wanted to get married.
"If you don't believe me, go and ask around to see if what I say is true."
Many people still have doubts.
But as more and more similar rumors came out, some people even made up their stories with details, almost saying that they had seen Yang Zhao naked and throwing himself into the arms of the Jade King with their own eyes.
If you say something too much, it seems to become the 'truth'.
For a moment.
Rumors about Yang Zhao and Prince Yu's affair spread throughout the capital, while matters concerning Old Master Xu gradually faded away, and the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Zhao sneered when he heard the news.
However, she was not in a hurry to do anything. She acted as if she was unaware of what was happening in the outside world and never left the house.
When Mrs. Wei came to the house, she was still calmly teaching Xiao Xier how to write. She looked so leisurely that she didn't seem like someone involved at all.
Mrs. Wei was so anxious that she got angry.
"How can you remain so calm?! Everyone out there is talking about you and His Majesty the Jade Prince. It's so nasty. If you don't find a way to stop it, your reputation will be completely ruined."
Yang Zhao let go of Xier's hand and looked at Madam Wei, whose eyes seemed to be burning with anxiety. She smiled helplessly and said, "It's okay. Reputation is not that important to me."
I don't plan to get married.
It doesn’t matter whether you have a reputation or not.
But although she didn't care much about her reputation, she was no pushover. How could she tolerate being schemed and bullied by others? It was simply because the timing wasn't right yet. Things needed to ferment a bit before she could completely nail down those fleas...
