Chapter 515: The Not-so-Simple Young Master
Prince Wang looked at him seriously and said, "The eldest son is so busy working for the country and the people that he has no time to look for women. Besides, he never approaches women. I'm afraid he doesn't look down on women."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it, don't say any more, please don't go on. This is not something we can discuss." The teahouse owner rushed out to interrupt Master Wang, adding, "Just talk about the Third Master properly, why bother dragging the eldest master into this? You can get drunk on tea, right?"
Prince Wang nodded repeatedly. He had almost forgotten about this. The eldest son of the Sea Kingdom was the future ruler, so how could he criticize him so carelessly? Moreover, he had heard that he had spies in the end. He quickly changed the subject: "This time, we are going to select ten tutors for the Third Young Master. Aren't you envious?"
"I don't dare to envy him. Only the Third Young Master has such a good fortune." Someone laughed.
An Yan frowned, thinking of Mei Die in her heart, and whispered to Li Rongsen, "I don't know if it's true or not."
"It's just gossip, don't take it seriously." Li Rongsen said, how can you really believe the talk while drinking tea.
But An Yan didn't think so. She raised her voice and asked the prince, "Where is the third prince? What is he like?"
Everyone looked towards An Yan and found that it was a woman.
The prince said, "Oh, this girl is so beautiful. I guess she wants to be closer to the Third Young Master, too."
Li Rongsen frowned and said quickly, "I just asked this question, I don't mean anything else."
"The third young master is not in the city right now. He is outside. I heard that he is having fun in West City." Someone answered.
"West City is a good place. I heard it's as prosperous as ours."
"Once the maid is chosen, I will naturally call him back." said the prince.
"I'm afraid the Third Young Master himself doesn't know that we are selecting a tutor for him here." An Yan asked.
"He doesn't need to know. The eldest son is the one who makes the decision." Prince Wang chuckled and glanced at An Yan. He said to her, "I bet that if you go, no one can beat you."
Li Rongsen was angry. He didn't like these men staring at An Yan. He took An Yan's hand and said, "I'm her husband. Please be careful with your words."
An Yan knew that Li Rongsen was unhappy, and she didn't want to listen any longer, so she stood up and took Li Rongsen out of the city.
Only the group of people behind him were still talking.
"Who are they? They don't seem to be from this city. The girls are pretty, and the boys are pretty too. They are really pretty." One of them said.
Another person said, "That man is really handsome and has a good temperament. He can actually be compared with our eldest son. It's rare. I don't know where these two people came from."
The prince who was hosting the dinner was even more stunned. He couldn't figure it out at all, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to brag.
Li Rongsen and An Yan had already walked out of the city and returned to the boat together.
The afterglow of the sunset accompanied them as they returned.
Someone else went to report to Ouyang Mingxi. He was the city's spy, well-informed about every move within the city. Important events like An Yan's arrival in the city had to be reported. He hurried back to the palace and said, "Sir, today, the Lord of West City arrived within our borders. The man she was with must have been a city slave, otherwise they wouldn't have held hands."
Ouyang Mingxi was having a meal. He remained calm, just picked up the bowl and drank the soup, savoring it slowly and carefully.
The guard added, "They disembarked with a woman who was from our city."
"Where is that woman now?" Ouyang Mingxi asked.
"She has signed up for the selection and is now in the palace. Does the eldest young master need to see her?" the guard asked again. He always looked cautious, afraid of angering the eldest young master in some way.
Although Ouyang Mingxi was gentle most of the time, he was also very ruthless and could not tolerate even the slightest bit of harm to anyone who was not doing his job well or had ulterior motives.
"How is her birth going now?" Ouyang Mingxi suddenly asked.
The person next to me was confused.
Ouyang Mingxi looked at the man and said, "I'm talking about the Lord of West City."
The guard didn't dare to answer.
"Tell the truth." Ouyang Mingxi said quickly.
"It looks good." The guard said with lowered eyes.
Ouyang Mingxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, and asked, "How beautiful is it?"
"She is more beautiful than any other woman I have ever seen, but she has never put on any makeup." The guard was very honest, and these were his true words, he did not dare to tell a lie.
Ouyang Mingxi's expression softened. He naturally believed what he said and said, "Go and bring that woman to me."
"Yes." The guard turned around and retreated after saying that. He breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the house, wondering why the eldest master was so meticulous about the affairs of the Lord of West City. Could it be that he had some ideas in his mind?
After a while, the guard came with the woman.
The woman was very confused and didn't understand why she came here. She knew in her heart that on the surface she was looking for a tutor for the Third Young Master, but in reality she was choosing a wife. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life to come here.
Ouyang Mingxi glanced at her and noticed that she was wearing a veil that hung down to her shoulders, making it impossible to see what she looked like. However, he put this aside for the moment and simply asked her, "Did someone send you here today?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, earning Ouyang Mingxi's cold sneer. "I don't like lies, so you'd better tell the truth," she said.
"Yes, yes." The woman agreed quickly.
"What kind of person is he?"
"A man and a woman." The woman answered honestly. She was from the Hai country and naturally knew Ouyang Mingxi's temper, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"What about the girl? What about the boy?" Ouyang Mingxi asked again.
"The women are as beautiful as flowers, and the men are handsome and elegant."
"Are they a couple?"
"Looks like it."
Ouyang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't ask any further questions until he realized the veil on the woman's face was an eyesore. He asked her, "How can you live in the palace like this? Take off the veil."
"It's not that I don't want to take it, but my mother once made me swear that only my husband can see my face." The woman insisted.
"Where are you from, girl? What's your name in the mansion?" Ouyang Mingxi asked her while giving the guard a look.
The guard understood what he meant and immediately bowed and walked out, closing the door for them.
Ouyang Mingxi stood up, took two steps closer to the woman, and looked her up and down. He found that she had an excellent figure and the clothes she was wearing were also rare brocade. He heard that there was a woman in the city who had been beautiful since childhood, but never showed her true face to others.
The woman said, "My surname is Jia, and my name is Qin Shuang."
Ouyang Mingxi chuckled. He was not wrong. She was indeed a girl from the Jia family. She was also a royal relative. Naturally, he had to be polite to her. However, he was really curious about her appearance at the moment.
Jia Qinshuang was of course aware of Ouyang Mingxi's status and position. She did not dare to act rashly and did not expect anything. However, this was the first time she had seen this eldest son, and he was even more handsome than the third son.
People outside say that the third young master Ouyang Beifeng is a handsome young man, but they didn't expect that his elder brother is so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him. He has a unique and heroic demeanor.
"There are only you and me here, take off your veil." Ouyang Mingxi wanted to see her face right now.
"It's not that I don't want to show it to the eldest young master, but once I see it, it will determine my lifelong relationship." Jia Qinshuang planned to take a gamble. If she could marry the eldest young master, wouldn't it be better than marrying the third young master? The position of the king in the future will definitely belong to the eldest young master, and then she will be a first-class queen and the real winner in life.
