Chapter 1684: Chapter 1681: News
Her face flushed with excitent, she gasped for breath and hurriedly ran inside. Once she entered the courtyard, she stopped quickly to catch her breath, wiped the perspiration from her forehead, and then slowly walked into the house.
Inside the house, Ye Muyu was preparing for her afternoon nap.
Nuanbao, however, was quite energetic at the mont. He was always quiet, never noisy, and just sat among the pile of toys, crawling back and forth, looking for his favorite things to play with.
When Chun Xing ca in, her voice was already subdued.
Ye Muyu had just taken off her outer garnt and upon hearing her, stopped and looked at her with a smile, asking, “What news is so shocking?”
Chun Xing scratched her head sowhat embarrassedly, “My lady, I apologize. This servant girl got too excited. It’s just that outside, it’s being spread that His Highness Prince Qi and Princess Weisaiya were spotted in Chunfeng Tower, more precisely in the sa room, and soone discovered them, so the news spread out.”
“Prince Qi and Princess Weisaiya?” Ye Muyu was both surprised and unsurprised, after all, compared to Zhongjin, Ye Muyu felt that Prince Qi was more likely to want to marry Princess Weisaiya.
The reason was simple. Behind Prince Qi were Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi and Minister Qi, who had never been keen on contention.
These two were not easy to deal with, and they surely wouldn’t let this good opportunity slip by. As long as the marriage with Princess Weisaiya happened, they could connect with Beirong, and now not only the court, but even among the commoners, there were rumors saying that Beirong and Great Chu were about to open trade routes.
The comncent of trade between the two nations was definitely a significant event for rchants.
Even for commoners, it was a big deal as well.
Thus, how could Minister Qi and Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi possibly miss this opportunity?
“Is there any news from the post station?” Ye Muyu wondered if this incident was Beirong choosing Prince Qi or a ploy from Prince Qi’s side.
As for both sides agreeing, the possibility was slim. After all, if both sides really reached an agreent, at worst they could directly enter the Imperial Palace and ask Emperor Xuanming to bestow a marriage, which might even preserve Princess Weisaiya’s reputation.
However, this ti, Princess Weisaiya appearing in Chunfeng Tower was certainly not good for her reputation.
At this mont.
In the post station.
The Beirong Prince had just returned from handling affairs when he heard the news, enraged, he imdiately sent soone to bring Princess Weisaiya back.
But this ti he miscalculated; not only did the person not return, but instead Prince Qi’s n used a carriage to send Princess Weisaiya back, and it was Prince Qi himself who rode ahead delivering her.
The Beirong Prince was already waiting at the entrance, watching as Prince Qi approached.
Watching the other dismount from the horse, and stand at a re three paces away, the two almost at eye level, facing each other in a peculiar standoff.
The quiet atmosphere was incredibly tense.
After a long while, when Princess Weisaiya in the carriage was running out of patience, about to instruct her maidservants to go inquire about the situation.
The Beirong Prince spoke up, lowering his voice, “Your Highness Prince Qi, today’s event, I have taken note of it.”
Prince Qi simply watched him silently, “If Your Highness has nothing else, just take the Princess back to her room to rest. We’ve disturbed enough.”
“Hmph, such hypocritical courtesy.” The Beirong Prince looked at him coldly, eyes filled with uncontrollable anger, and at the sa ti, sternly instructed his guards to bring Princess Weisaiya back.
Prince Qi’s face turned slightly pale, as he stepped aside, waiting for Princess Weisaiya to enter the post station, gently saluted the Beirong Prince, not speaking much, before turning around and mounting the horse.
