Cen Ang ran to the Li residence, released Li Yi, said nothing, just nodded at him, and then turned and returned to the palace.
"How did it go, A-Cen? Did you see Li Yi?" Lan Youxin asked.
"I've seen him. Whether he'll get along with the princess or not, I can't say for sure, but tomorrow, his marriage will be off."
Just as Lord Li guessed, he was indeed his own son, and he knew him very well.
That very night, Li Yi went to annul the engagement. Because it was the middle of the night, no one knew or made a fuss.
Upon hearing this news, Yuwen Helan stared blankly at Cen Ang, thinking she was incredibly capable.
"Aunt, can you make Li Yi willingly become my son-in-law? So that we can be together forever?"
"..."
“Princess Helan, I am just a steward in the palace. You will have to ask the matchmaker for help with this matter.”
After saying that, the cold-faced girl ran away without looking back.
I can't chat with people who are obsessed with love. That's how the Yuwen family is; they all lose their minds when it comes to emotions.
Li Yi originally thought that he and Yuwen Helan would just be passersby in each other's lives, each living their own happy lives.
Can,
When I saw her smiling at another young master on the training ground.
Li Yi, who was usually calm and rational, felt an unbearable pang of pain in his heart.
The possessiveness within me is raging, screaming for more.
Go, snatch her back, and make sure she only smiles at him.
Yuwen Helan was having a pleasant chat with Luo Yun, completely unaware of Li Yi riding away in a disheveled state.
Luo Yun was the son of the Vice Minister of Works.
It was quite a coincidence that when Yuwen Helan met the three of them, their fathers were all still unknown minor officials.
The title of Vice Minister sounds quite prestigious.
But compared to Yuwen Helan, they were truly no match.
This person is different from Li Yi; he speaks eloquently and is the best at making girls happy.
Yuwen Helan and Luo Yun met in front of a brothel.
That day, Cen Ang and the others took her out to play, and they happened to run into a handsome young man with lipstick all over his face walking out of the brothel.
They bumped into Yuwen Helan.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
Back then, Helan was youthful, lively, and full of life, with a quirky and mischievous personality.
After Luo Yunchong finished apologizing to her, and they had walked about two miles away, the girl finally reacted and said to Cen Ang:
How did he know I was a woman?
Cen Ang looked at the people around him. Apart from changing into men's clothing, what else was different?
Others aren't blind.
Compared to Li Yi, Luo Yun was not as ambitious. He was the youngest son in his family, and he was good-looking and talented in literature.
It differs from the literary talent of those who conduct scientific research, write articles, and do academic work.
Luo Yun was skilled at writing poems and lyrics, and he often wrote for the girls in brothels. These girls regarded him as their dream lover, and they would even be willing to spend a night with him.
But Luo Yun was different; he simply thought these girls were pretty and wanted to hang out with them.
I also like the atmosphere of brothels where women seem oblivious to day and night.
Unexpectedly, the girl they met that day turned out to be Princess Helan.
The affair between Li Yi and this princess has been the talk of the town. Many people say that Princess Helan forced Li Yi to be with her, but upon meeting her today, Luo Yun discovered that this was not the case.
"Princess Helan is so lovely, unlike what outsiders say about her being arrogant and domineering."
Luo Yun, who had a somewhat effeminate appearance but whose eyes and brows exuded a dashing air, leaned against a pillar and spoke to Yuwen Helan.
The princess was also dressed in riding attire today, looking capable and playful. She raised an eyebrow and asked Luo Yun:
"What, are other people talking badly about me?"
"It was just some old stories about you and Li Yi."
"It's probably those noble ladies who said it again, but it doesn't matter, since they don't like Lan Youxin anyway."
Yuwen Helan didn't think that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that they could ruin the Crown Princess's life.
The girl thought, "If I hate myself, that might be my fault, but if you hate other people, then you're in the wrong."
People always find a way to convince themselves clearly.
A commotion drew the attention of Yuwen Helan and Luo Yun.
Helan wondered who Lan Youxin was bullying again.
But it's quite amusing to watch her swear.
And so, Lan Youxin's appearance can be considered as stealing the crown prince, the dream lover of the noble ladies of the capital.
Rich, good-looking, and powerful
Why is it that the Crown Princess position was immediately lost the moment you appeared?
If you don't have it, fine. As the Crown Princess, you don't know how to be humble and share your husband's burdens.
Even concubines and secondary wives were not allowed to enter the house.
Lan Youxin: Not sisters? Me? Are you afraid Cen Ang will blame me?
The Crown Princess, dressed in a short blue outfit, had one leg propped up on a chair, looking as if Cen Ang and Hua Luan beside her were her concubines.
"Your Highness, it would be better if you behaved more properly. After all, your husband will become the number one person in the Great Yan in the future. At that time, His Highness may not have as much interest in you. It would be bad if you damaged your relationship with your husband because of this matter of manners."
This means that Lan Youxin has never learned the rules of the palace since she was a child, and if the Crown Prince gets tired of her in the future, her position as Crown Princess will come to an end.
The Crown Princess wasn't angry. She turned her head, took the grapes Cen Ang fed her, and said:
"Isn't this awkward? He's never seen a woman as unruly as me. The Crown Prince has been in the capital for eighteen years, and not a single noblewoman in the capital is like me."
"Free-spirited, temperamental, and capable of wielding a sword to kill enemies."
"Tsk, not quite right."
Lan Youxin's words were infuriating, and the noble lady next to her was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"Does the Crown Princess really consider being unruly as being unique? It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince finds it interesting..."
"It's my ability to keep him interested for a lifetime, and it's my ability to be different from you. This lady... I don't know whose family she is, but whether you want to be the Crown Prince's concubine or a good concubine, the gates of the Eastern Palace are always open for you. As long as the Crown Prince nods, if you have the guts, feel free to enter his harem."
As the Crown Princess spoke, Cen Ang was coldly staring at the noblewoman.
Holding a fruit knife, he peeled the apple piece by piece until it was completely clean.
Hua Luan, however, smiled radiantly, her narrowed eyes filled with calculation.
The two men stood behind the Crown Princess, openly threatening the noblewoman.
Didn't Lan Youxin just say it right?
The crown prince's approval is one thing, but whether the person who wants to be a concubine has the guts is another matter entirely.
These two are standing right in front of you. Do you think you have any thoughts of becoming their masters?
"The most fortunate woman in the entire Great Yan Dynasty is the Crown Princess."
Looking at the scene over there, Luo Yun said to Yuwen Helan.
"It's alright, but the main thing is, those two aunts next to her are really enviable. I want them too."
"..."
The Empress heard these words clearly.
This won't do, sister-in-law.
Hua Luan was brought along by someone else, Cen Ang...
Where can I find you another capable orphan girl?
