Emperor Huichen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's keep him for now. He will send him to Princess Yu later to see how she reacts. If she doesn't want him, then we can kill her."
The word "kill" is spoken casually.
It seems as if a person's life is as cheap as grass.
Wang Yongcai lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and nodded respectfully: "Yes."
"By the way, you just said that the princess was not wearing a mask when she came back this time?" Emperor Huichen asked.
Princess Yu had her face injured since she was a child, so she has always worn a mask.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"She has no scars on her face anymore?"
"I only dared to take a look at her at that time. The princess is indeed well now." This was why Wang Yongcai was stunned for a moment, not only because of Yang Zhao's appearance, but also because she was not wearing a mask.
Emperor Huichen thought for a moment after hearing this, but said without taking it seriously, "Last time, the princess sent someone back a message saying she met a miracle doctor and her face was healed. It seems to be true. This is not bad at all. Now that the girl's face is healed, she won't have to scratch the faces of the servants anymore."
"Alright, step back now and prepare for the Princess's welcoming banquet tomorrow."
"yes."
Wang Yongcai retreated with his body hunched.
Emperor Huichen coughed for a while before turning his head and looking at the eunuch beside him with a cold gaze, "Go check it out."
…
East Palace.
After Qi Xue finished dealing with a pile of memorials, she rubbed her temples and looked at Li Huan on the ground: "What's going on?"
"I've searched everywhere I could, but I still can't find it."
"waste!"
An inkstone hit Li Huan on the forehead. Li Huan gritted his teeth in pain, and a look of dissatisfaction and irritability flashed in his eyes.
Qi Xue didn't notice this.
She was not as calm as usual at this moment, because not only did Miao Yun take Yang Yueqi away that day, but when she was sending everyone out to look for someone else, the mute actually escaped with the kids in the secret room.
By the time she got the news, the person had already disappeared.
"Go find it. No matter what method you use, you must find it for me, otherwise you don't have to come back." Qi Xue said angrily.
Liu Rui is dead.
Although Li Huan is also her personal guard, she always feels that he is not as easy to use as Liu Rui. Based on the past, Liu Rui would have found the person long ago. Even if he couldn't find the person, he would have a way.
But Li Huan can't do anything right.
If there weren't so few guards around her that could be mobilized, she would definitely have dealt with Li Huan.
More likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
"Your Highness."
A guard entered the room and respectfully handed over a gold-embossed note: "It's from the Ministry of Rites."
Qi Xue glanced at the post and her eyes narrowed immediately: "Princess Yu?"
"How did she come back!"
Then she suddenly thought of something, and she subconsciously shouted: "Liu Rui!"
But after she shouted, she finally reacted. After dismissing the guards with a sullen face, she shouted again: "Chen Hua."
"master."
A figure flashed out.
"Go check on that Duke Yang of Qi to see if she has already come to the capital."
"yes."
The next day.
All the ministers brought their female relatives and rushed to the welcoming banquet held by the Ministry of Rites for Princess Yu.
Every female member of the family wore a veil and was dressed very simply. Almost everyone had no makeup on, and they didn't even dare to use red hairpins. They looked even more shabby than the maids around them.
But there's no way.
Princess Yu is a rather perverted person. Besides liking to look at all kinds of handsome men, she can't stand any woman who is prettier than her, and she can't even stand any woman who dresses better than her.
Otherwise, scratching your face is no big deal.
When she goes crazy, she will kill you directly, no matter whether you are the wife of a high-ranking official or a noble lady.
She had no scruples whatsoever.
Of course, she dared to act so recklessly because of the emperor's favor towards her. He almost gave her whatever she wanted and gave her more authority than any other prince. If she were not a woman, she would probably have been given the position of crown prince.
Moreover, this welcoming banquet is mandatory.
They have to come even if they don't want to.
Otherwise it would be a lack of respect.
There were also people who used excuses to avoid attending the banquet hosted by Princess Yu, but ended up in big trouble. Not only were they severely humiliated, stripped of their clothes, and had their faces scratched, but their husbands also lost their official positions and were almost sent to jail.
In the end, the family fled the city of Bianjing in disgrace.
In the entire city of Bianjing, there was no one who didn't hate Princess Yu. One could even say that they hated her to the point of disgust.
But they could only endure it.
Just like now.
They were obviously very unhappy, but when they saw the 'Jade Princess' with a big belly, they all smiled enthusiastically and fawningly as if they were possessed by a drama spirit.
"Princess Yu, you are so beautiful, like a goddess descended from heaven."
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that none of the fairies in the sky are as beautiful as you. You really make us feel ashamed."
"Look at this skin, it's just like a peeled egg."
"Isn't it? Fair skin and beautiful appearance, like a fairy descended to earth, that's the princess..."
"Yes, yes..."
The ladies of power and influence who filled the room were all chattering incessantly in praise, as if they were afraid that they would be resentful if they didn't say a word of praise, and they were eager to use the most straightforward words of praise they could think of.
Yang Zhao was surrounded by the crowd, and his scalp tingled as he listened to those words.
However, she seemed to be enjoying it.
After half a cup of tea, she finally spoke: "Okay, everyone sit down."
The ladies then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.
"Where are the others?"
After Yang Zhao sat down in the main seat, he looked around and asked, "There are only female guests at the banquet right now."
And just at this moment.
Then the chubby Wang Yong came in from the gate, followed by a group of adults dressed in red and green.
It’s really colorful.
The adults all looked unhappy, especially the elderly ones, whose faces looked elongated.
"Meet Princess Yu."
"Greetings to Princess Yu."
All the adults who came in half-bowed to Yang Zhao, except for the two old men in the lead who did not move.
"Why don't you bow to this princess?"
Yang Zhao looked at the two old men with displeasure.
Both old men looked unhappy, but in the end the shorter old man bowed reluctantly.
"And you?"
Yang Zhao looked at the tall old man.
He has gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, especially around his eyebrows, which shows that he must be a serious person.
The old man snorted coldly and refused to bow his head.
"Do you look down on me?" Yang Zhao's face turned cold.
The short old man tugged at the tall old man, but the tall old man shook his hand away and glared at him angrily...
