Chapter 793: That Nanmanzi princess has taken a fancy to my second brother!

Wei Shiyu just said this and Wei Shiyan didn't take it seriously at all.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

He could feel Youluo's inquiring eyes moving around on him.

Xingxing also drank tea and ate snacks quietly.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

But Wei Shiyu was not a quiet person. He was silent for a while, then he looked curiously at some things placed on the chair next to him - obviously the things that Xingxing took his second brother to buy just now.

"What is this?"

Wei Shiyu curiously went over to take a look.

Wei Shiyan looked at him calmly, Wei Shiyu hissed and sat up straight again.

Youluo also noticed this, and she became more curious.

The Third Prince was so arrogant in front of her, why was he as docile as a little kitten in front of Prince Cong?

Wei Shiyu would naturally not tell her, because his second brother was just like his eldest brother, he would really beat him up...

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan originally just wanted to take a break and find a place to drink tea and moisten their throats. After resting, the two prepared to leave.

Wei Shiyu stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Take me with you too!"

He sneaked out of the palace to watch a show, but was interrupted by the barbarian princess Youluo, and there was nothing to watch.

Xingxing naturally had no objection.

If Xingxing has no opinion, Wei Shiyan will not have any opinion either.

But Wei Shiyu's happiness was ruined.

Seeing the three of them were about to leave, Youluo became anxious and said, "Take me with you too."

Xingxing paused slightly.

We brought Wei Shiyu along because he is one of our own and they have a good relationship so it's natural for them to play together.

Bring Princess Nanzheng along?

It seems like they are not that familiar with each other?

Before Xing Xing could say anything, Wei Shiyu was unhappy and immediately asked, "We are going out to play with the three of us, why would we take you with us?"

You Luo bit her lower lip and said, "I don't care! I am a guest of your Da Xia! As the host, how can you not treat your guests well?"

"What kind of guest are you if you come uninvited?" Wei Shiyu said blandly, "Besides, Princess, why do you have to follow us when you can just rest in the Nanzheng Embassy?"

Youluo’s eyes widened even more.

Wei Shiyu ignored her and pushed Xingxing's back with one hand and his second brother's back with the other, urging them, "Let's go, let's ignore her and hurry up."

This look of avoiding him made Youluo so angry that she was about to explode.

But the more Wei Shiyu acted like this, the more Youluo wanted to confront him and chase him.

Now several people have become like this.

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan walked in front.

Wei Shiyu walked behind the two people with full caution, looking back from time to time.

Youluo was watching closely, and was about ten steps behind, neither far nor close.

Xingxing occasionally looked back and felt like sighing.

Wei Shiyan lowered his voice and asked Xing Xing: "Do you want to abandon them?"

Xingxing's eyes lit up, and just as she nodded, Wei Shiyan had already grabbed her wrist. Her body suddenly became lighter, and with a few leaps, she disappeared from the spot.

When Wei Shiyu turned around to monitor Youluo, when he turned back again, his brother and Xingxing were gone.

Wei Shiyu: “?”

No? Where are the people?!

Wei Shiyu was stunned where he was. Youluo was even more anxious than Wei Shiyu and stepped forward quickly: "Where is your second brother?"

Wei Shiyu was originally confused as to why his second brother and Xingxing had abandoned him, but when he saw Youluo so anxious, he instantly calmed down.

It’s all your fault!

Otherwise, his second brother and Xingxing would never abandon him!

"My second brother has legs and can go wherever he wants. How would I know?" Wei Shiyu folded his arms and looked at Youluo.

Youluo was so angry that she almost died because of Wei Shiyu's behavior!

She glared at Wei Shiyu, then looked around, but couldn't find Wei Shiyan. She stomped her feet in frustration and turned away without any reluctance.

Wei Shiyu frowned, looking a little strange.

This Nanman princess, wouldn't she fall for his second brother?!

…

Youluo really had her eyes on Wei Shiyan.

She returned to the Nanzheng Embassy and went to find the female official who was responsible for taking care of her during this delegation.

The female official was furious in the embassy because Princess Youluo was missing.

Seeing Princess Youluo hurried back in a Daxia woman's outfit, he almost fainted: "Princess, you——"

Youluo didn't care about that. Her eyes sparkled and she grabbed the lady-in-waiting's arm and said, "I know who I'm going to marry!"

The female official was startled: "Princess?"

Youluo's eyes sparkled: "I want to marry King Cong!"

Her eyes were gleaming with longing. "I met him once before in the palace. We were so far apart and he looked cold. I always felt that he was just like the moon in the sky. Today, when I saw him being patient with others, I felt like my moon had come down to earth and might land in my arms."

The female official frowned at first, and then her brows relaxed.

She has been busy these days and asked the embassy staff to check a lot of things.

For example, King Cong was the number one hero who resolved the imminent war between Nanzheng and Daxia.

What was strange was that they, Nan Zheng, had never heard of this King Cong before, as if this King Cong suddenly emerged from underground.

At first, their spies in Nan Zheng had been spying in Daxia for a long time, but they only found out what the official Daxia said, such as the second prince was praying for the country in the mountains.

However, judging from the intelligence currently collected, the second prince who was named Prince Cong was the one most likely to ascend to the throne besides the crown prince...

The female official's mind raced, and her tone softened a little: "...Since the princess likes Prince Cong, then I will make plans for her."

There was a gleam in Youluo's eyes, and she couldn't wait to find Wei Shiyu to show off - don't treat her like a thief, who knows, she might be his sister-in-law in the future!

…

Xingxing and Wei Shiyan left the crowd and went to a small alley.

It was deep and quiet, with no one around.

Xingxing and Wei Shiyan looked at each other, and Xingxing couldn't help but smile.

It's nice to be unconventional like this once in a while.

The wind from the alley blew past the two of them. Just now, when Wei Shiyan took Xingxing away, he held Xingxing's wrist. At some point, they started holding hands.

Wei Shiyan did not let go.

I don't want to let go.

Xingxing let him hold her, her eyes narrowed.

The two of them were looking at each other, both feeling like they wanted to say something, but without having to say anything.

Just at this moment, a side door creaked and opened.

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan both looked towards the door consciously.

I saw a woman walking out of the door with a woven bamboo basket hanging on her arm. It seemed that she was going to buy vegetables.

The woman's eyes widened when she suddenly saw Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan.

Her lips trembled slightly: "...Yu, Yu..."

The woman suddenly remembered Xing Xing's current identity. Her face turned pale and her expression changed several times. Finally, she knelt down to greet Xing Xing with a pale face: "Princess."

Xingxing took a look and found that this was indeed an acquaintance.

But he was an "old friend" from long ago.

At that time, the Yu family was still in Mapo County. Mrs. Wei and her friends saved this person out of kindness. However, when the bandits were chasing her, this person pushed the Yu family's maid into the hands of the bandits, so the Yu family drove her away.

Later, they met in the capital, but this person had become the mistress of a wealthy businessman.

——Yang Xiangdie.

Xing Xing no longer had any feelings for this person as an old friend, and when she saw her again, she was indifferent: "Madam Yang."

Yang Xiangdie smiled awkwardly: "...Princess, what are you doing..."

Her eyes swept between Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan and she gave an uncomfortable smile, as if Xing Xing and the others were doing something shameful and she had caught them.

Wei Shiyan frowned.

When Xingxing suddenly saw Yang Xiangdie, she recalled an old story.

Back then, Yang Xiangdie was being chased by bandits. The young girl seemed to have heard the bandits mention something, a treasure map...

Xing Xing suddenly recalled the half treasure map that she had copied on An Ning Xin's back some time ago.

Xing Xing's heart skipped a beat.

An Ningxin was kidnapped by bandits at that time, and someone drew half of a treasure map on her back.

This Yang Xiangdie was also abducted by bandits at that time...

Could it be that the other half of the treasure map is in Yang Xiangdie's possession?

This idea is more like an intuition than a guess.

As for Xingxing, her intuition is always accurate.

Xingxing looked at Yang Xiangdie a few more times during the scrutiny.

On the contrary, Yang Xiangdie felt uncomfortable all over, yet she was a little timid. She raised the woven bamboo basket in her arms and said, "Princess, please move aside for a moment. I need to go buy some vegetables..."

Xing Xing retracted her gaze and whispered to Wei Shiyan, "Let's go."

Xingxing doesn’t care whether there is a treasure map or not.

She already has enough wealth to last her several lifetimes, so what's the point of having a treasure map with unknown contents?

Xing Xing put the matter behind her and left hand in hand with Wei Shiyan.

…

In Yu's study, Nan Zheng's envoy once again asked about Emperor Jiazheng's marriage.

"After the princess gets married, we will also prepare to return to Nanzheng." The Nanzheng envoy clasped his fists and said, "I hope the Emperor of Daxia can fulfill our wish as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiazheng's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "There are so many talented people in the royal family of Daxia, and it is difficult to choose a husband for the princess at this time."

The Nanzheng envoy smiled and tried to test him: "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Cong is extremely wise and brave, and has an unparalleled appearance. He is a perfect match for our Princess Nanzheng..."

Before the Nanzheng envoy finished speaking, Emperor Jiazheng's face was tinged with sarcasm: "You Nanzhengs are really good at choosing people. But, unfortunately, the Empress and I have already made a decision on Prince Cong's marriage. I am afraid that your Nanzheng princess will be disappointed."

The envoy Nan Zheng was a little surprised, but seeing that Emperor Jiazheng was obviously impatient, he did not dare to say more and could only bow and take his leave.

When Princess Youluo received the news, she was stunned for a long time and found it hard to accept.

Youluo was allowed to enter the palace, and she found a way to stop Wei Shiyu in the palace.

When Wei Shiyu saw Youluo blocking him, his eyes widened and he took a step back cautiously: "What are you doing? I'm telling you, this is in the palace, don't mess around."

Youluo asked directly: "How much do you know about Prince Cong's marriage?"

"ha?"

When Wei Shiyu was in danger, three question marks appeared above his head.

"My second brother's marriage?" Wei Shiyu frowned.

He hasn't heard of it either.

Wei Shiyu's eyes fell on Youluo who was standing opposite him, and he almost jumped up when he realized what was happening: "Okay, you really have evil intentions towards my second brother!"

"So what?" You Luo still thought Wei Shiyu's sudden surprise was a little strange. "Prince Cong is so handsome, what's wrong with me marrying him? Women in Nanzheng have to take the initiative to fight for someone they like. Is this weird?"

Wei Shiyu was shocked by Youluo's frank statement. Finally, he scratched his hair and said, "...Forget it. My second brother won't like you anyway. He doesn't like you like this."

Youluo was a little shocked, but she stubbornly asked Wei Shiyu: "What kind does your second brother like?"

Wei Shiyu made a "tsk" sound.

You Luo asked doubtfully, "You don't know, do you?"

Wei Shiyu almost jumped up: "How could I not know?"

Wei Shiyu reacted and snorted: "Don't try to provoke me. I'm not the kind of person who will be provoked by a few words. I'm telling you, don't think about my second brother. He is not someone you can mess with."

In short, Wei Shiyu did not give Youluo any chance and ran faster than a rabbit.

Youluo stood there with a frown on her face.

She did gain something from this trip. At least she found out that Prince Cong really did have someone he liked.

As for who it is...

Youluo suddenly recalled how King Cong treated that little girl when she first met him...

Could it be that the person that Prince Cong likes is that little girl?

…

Wei Shiyu ran faster than a rabbit without stopping and jumped into Queen Nie's harem.

"Mother, something bad has happened!" Wei Shiyu had been shouting since he entered Zhaoyang Palace.

Queen Nie was frightened by Wei Shiyu's series of cries, and almost rushed out to greet him: "Ayu, what's wrong?"

Wei Shiyu said: "That Nanmanzi princess has taken a fancy to my second brother!"

Empress Nie's frown relaxed a little: "Well...your father has already rejected the proposal of the envoy from Nan Zheng in Yu's study not long ago."

Wei Shiyu widened his eyes.

Queen Nie glared at Wei Shiyu and said, "I thought it was nothing. You almost scared me to death."

Wei Shiyu saw his mother walking back calmly. He exclaimed, "Ah!" and followed Queen Nie: "Aren't you worried, mother?"

Queen Nie smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Will Nan Zheng force your second brother to marry their princess?"

Since Nan Zheng sent his princess as a marriage alliance, no matter what he said on the surface, he was actually showing weakness.

You come here to show weakness, and you still want to find fault?

If you really want to be so tough, why send the princess to marry?

Wei Shiyu shook his head and said, "... Although I said that, I am still worried about my second brother's situation."

Queen Nie paused and said thoughtfully, "What you said makes some sense. This is a good opportunity. It's time to have a serious discussion about your second brother's marriage."

Queen Nie seemed to have figured something out, and a somewhat happy expression appeared on her face. She called the eunuch over and told Wei Shiyan to pass on a message: "Tell His Royal Highness Prince Cong to come to my place after he returns to the palace."

After giving the order, Queen Nie turned her head and found Wei Shiyu was still there. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Wei Shiyu: “?”

No, mother, he came here to report information after all. Are you going to just abandon him after you’ve used him?

When Queen Nie saw Wei Shiyu writing in ink, she smiled lovingly and said, "How about we discuss your marriage again?"

Wei Shiyu jumped up: "I remember now, I still have to go to the tutor to hand in my homework! ... Mother, I'm leaving first!"
