There is official business, and I don’t know when I will be busy, so she naturally cannot stay here, so as not to say that Yun Ziheng is neglecting his duties.
She understands this principle.
"Go." Yun Ziheng smiled and said, "The pastries are delicious, the tea is delicious, and they are all very good."
Bai Di left happily.
After the Dali Temple Minister came in and said a few things to be done in the court, Yun Ziheng summoned Qingyun to come in and ask about trivial matters.
"The rest of the matter was done according to the prince's instructions, only one thing..." Qingyun said with a silence, "It's about the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Miaoying, it seems to be different from what the outside world says."
"oh?"
Yun Ziheng's movements were paused, "Why is it different?"
"She was not so bullied by Xu Guangxian in the Xu Mansion. Xu Dechang was pretty good to her, but somehow many words came from outside that were bullied by Xu Guangxian."
"Also, the engagement that was snatched away by Xu Guangxian was also a bit of a problem."
“What’s the problem?”
"That engagement was a relative of the older generation. When the other party came to Beijing to propose marriage, Xu Miaoying suddenly became ill and could not get up. She said she could not fulfill the engagement."
"Xu Dechang wanted to keep his promise and his eldest daughter could not marry him, so he wanted to betroth Xu Guangxian, but the other party's family was in ruins. Xu Guangxian despised the poor and loved the rich, and was reluctant to do so."
"It was reported to the outside, and Xu Guangxian bullied his legitimate daughter and snatched the marriage contract and even regretted the marriage."
"Since over the years, Xu Miaoying seems to be unpopular in the Xu Mansion, she has accumulated a lot of industries under her command. Moreover, she has a close relationship with the prince of the Hou family of Liang Guo. "
Yun Ziheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that women lived in the inner house and sometimes they would inevitably need to use some tricks. It was not a big deal to destroy Xu Guangxian's reputation, but it only showed that Xu Miaoying was smart.
But the matter with the Prince of Liang State is a ravine that cannot be overcome.
The Marquis of Liang Kingdom was a famous general in the capital. His reputation was comparable to that of the former King of Ding Murong Ting. The two were close friends and even set up a bet to see who got the first night of a woman first.
The lottery is just a pot of wine, and it will play with the woman's body and mind.
Later, the woman learned the truth and committed suicide in shame and anger.
However, Liang Houzi and Ding Wang were not punished for their high position and authority.
Xu Miaoying and Liang Houzi have a beginning and end. No matter whether she was deceived or whatever, it was obviously not suitable for marrying into the Yun family.
That night, Yun Ziheng returned home and went to meet King Zhan and Princess Anping, and roughly told the matter.
It was only two or three days before, and I didn't say anything to the Xu family, but I was preparing for it in my own house.
This matter will naturally be stranded.
The next morning, Yun Ziyuan returned to the mansion after changing shifts from the palace and was called to the study room by the King of War to inform him of the matter.
Yun Ziyuan was shocked: "Why?"
"She is not suitable." Zhan Wang said: "For your father, you will ask the princess to discuss marriage with Princess Yun'an of Princess Chenyang's mansion."
"Father!" Yun Ziyuan frowned in disbelief: "You said that you agreed, why did you go back on your word... What's wrong! Because of the Xu family's lintel?"
"It has nothing to do with family background, it has to do with her character."
Yun Ziyuan hurriedly said, "She has a good character--"
"Erlang." King Zhan cut off his words, "You are afraid you don't know her enough. Ask your elder brother and understand it more clearly before you speak."
“…”
Seeing that his father was not going to say more, Yun Ziyuan had to bow and leave, and he didn't even change his casual clothes. He rushed to the Ministry of Personnel to wait for Yun Ziheng to go to court.
He sat in a simple and simple room, with a cold and upright face extremely gloomy.
Xu Miaoying is delicate and weak, pitiful and kind-hearted. What is the problem with her character?
Could it be the eldest brother...
Thinking of something, Yun Ziyuan's face became even more ugly, and his whole body was filled with the aura of a storm coming and wind was about to spread.
There was something important in the morning court today. It was almost noon when Yun Ziheng went down. As soon as he left the palace, Qingyun told him about Yun Ziyuan's waiting.
Yun Ziheng was not surprised and just asked: "Are you ready for everything you have prepared?"
“Everything is ready.”
"That's good." Yun Ziheng got on a carriage and returned to the Ministry of Personnel. As soon as he entered the office courtyard, before he even stepped into the room, Yun Ziyuan's question came from the room: "Did you deliberately do it?"
Yun Ziheng walked into the house calmly: "No."
"No?" Yun Ziyuan sneered: "There is nothing wrong with her character. It is obvious that you have not married a mistress who can support your family, so you want me to marry you. If you want to marry the person you like, can I do it?
Don't want to?!"
"Do you like her?" Yun Ziheng glanced at him, "Do you know what kind of person she is?"
"Of course I know!"
"How many times have you seen her? I have said a few words? Just because she looked at you shyly and handed you a handkerchief, you will know what kind of person she is?" Yun Ziheng asked: "
How do you know, look at your face?"
Yun Ziyuan's face became darker.
Yun Ziheng said indifferently: "Second, you are not stupid in other things, but in women's affairs, you are too easily confused by what you see."
"I know you will come to me. I'm free of time this afternoon, so let's go and learn about the character of Miss Xu you mentioned."
Yun Ziyuan was angry and wanted to say no to go.
But seeing Yun Ziheng is so confident... He has known his elder brother for many years. Although he occasionally uses any means, he always maintains his family.
Is there something wrong with Xu Miaoying?
Yun Ziheng's eyebrows closed: "Take off your armor."
"..." Yun Ziyuan stared at Yun Ziheng, "I don't have any clothes to wear."
"I have it, I'll change it." Yun Ziheng signaled Qingyun to go up and took Yun Ziyuan a long gown in a light color from the cabinet.
Yun Ziyuan frowned and looked for a while. He went around behind the screen, took off his armor and changed his clothes, and then smelled a stinking face after coming out: "Where to go?"
Yun Ziheng didn't say anything and turned around and went out.
Yun Ziyuan followed quickly.
When he arrived at the door of the Ministry of Personnel, Yun Ziheng signaled Yun Ziyuan to get on the carriage. Yun Ziyuan was also unwilling to do so, so he got on the carriage after a while.
I thought I was going to somewhere, but who knew that the carriage was parked in front of a restaurant.
Yun Ziyuan frowned and asked, "This is it?"
"Eat first." Yun Ziheng lifted his robe and walked in: "I'm hungry for my brother."
Yun Ziyuan: "..."
He still followed in reluctantly because he was worried about Xu Miaoying's work, and he basically didn't move his chopsticks for a meal.
And as soon as Yun Ziheng finished eating, he immediately urged him to leave quickly.
Yun Ziheng slowly signaled Qingyun to drive, and after a while, he heard the carriage in a corner of a narrow alley.
Yun Ziyuan looked at it for a while and felt familiar.
He had followed Xu Miaoying home from a long distance, and it seemed that he was in this alley.
