Chapter 946: Repeatedly Breaking Off the Engagement
She looked up and wanted to ask something, but Du had already taken a big step away.
Forget it, she would write a letter to her uncle first to see if what he said was true.
"Sister Yin, do you know that person?" Sang Yin dared to step forward only after seeing Du Yi leave.
"I'm mistaken." She turned around and said coldly, "Let's go."
Lin Hui nodded and took Sang Yin's arm. When she turned around, she glanced at Du Yi secretly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Du Yi walked towards Ye Qianning: "Miss."
"Who is the girl next to the fifth princess?" Ye Qianning asked.
"She is Lin Hui, the daughter of a distant relative of the Third Princess. She is now adopted by the Third Prince and Princess."
Ye Qianning remembered that on Chongde Street in Kyoto City, Madam Gao's carriage lost control and hit her and Xiliuyuan's cars. At that time, the girl Lin Hui was sitting in Xiliuyuan's car.
"Do you know why they came to Bermuda?"
Du Yi thought for a moment, "A year ago, the Fifth Princess was engaged to the small prince of the grasslands. She had always been very opposed to this marriage. Half a year ago, the Fifth Princess met a young man named Qin, and they fell in love. The Emperor later discovered their relationship and imprisoned the Fifth Princess. When the Eighth Prince and I left the palace, the prince of the grasslands had just arrived in the capital to discuss the marriage. If my guess is correct, the Fifth Princess must have run away from the marriage."
Ye Qianning was a little surprised: "Engaged last year?"
Sang Yin is actually quite old now, she should be 23 years old now. In ancient times, girls would start talking about marriage when they turned 16 and came of age.
What's more, she is a princess of a country, why would she wait until she is in her twenties?
"The Emperor arranged a marriage for the Fifth Princess many years ago, with the Dongyi clan. For unknown reasons, the Fifth Princess broke out in a rash, so the Fourth Prince of Dongyi married the Sixth Princess instead. A year later, the Emperor arranged another marriage for the Fifth Princess, with the son of the Minister of Revenue. The Fifth Princess threatened to commit suicide, but the marriage didn't go through. Concubine Zhan wasn't favored to begin with, and the Fifth Princess was no different. The Emperor blamed Concubine Zhan for everything. Later, the Zhan clan tried to matchmake the Fifth Princess, but she refused, putting it off again and again. Two years ago, the Emperor noticed that the Prince of the Grassland was intent on rallying his forces, so a year later, the Emperor issued a decree for the Fifth Princess's marriage to the Prince."
Ye Qianning listened to the long speech and subconsciously pressed his head. As children of the royal family, they were all bound to be married off, so it was understandable that the Fifth Princess would do this.
If she really escapes from marriage this time, the Zhan family will suffer.
His eyes fell on Sang Yin not far away. Sang Yin was 60% similar to Concubine Zhan. She was very beautiful and a rare beauty.
With such a good appearance and a temper like that of Emperor Beili, how could he allow her to grow up to the age of 23? The Zhan family must have taken action many times, and she must have had a difficult time in Kyoto these years.
"How big is the prince?"
"I'm fifty this year."
“…”
No wonder Sang Yin ran away.
"What's going on with the Qin family?"
"Qin Zhifeng, the young master of Zhuoran Villa, entered the palace a year ago to celebrate the emperor's birthday. At the banquet, the fifth princess was performing a dance, and the zither player broke a string. It was Qin Zhifeng who helped the fifth princess out of the predicament."
Ye Qianning nodded slightly. The Fifth Princess should be someone who yearns for love very much, so it is not surprising that they develop feelings for each other after meeting privately.
"Send someone to investigate Qin Zhifeng's character."
"yes."
Ye Qianning leaned back in her chair. After all, the Fifth Princess was her cousin, and she always owed her a favor for beheading the Imperial Concubine. Knowing about this, she would not stand idly by.
The Zhan family must be very busy with the matter of the fifth princess.
Why--!
