Among the boats on the canal night cruise, there are two most famous boats. Tianlaifang is famous for its music. Passing tourists can order music, dance, etc. and pay money to enjoy it, but they cannot board the boat, and they will not come here.
The other ship is Ruyi Pavilion, where there are the best craftsmen who tie lanterns. New products come out every month, there are new lantern riddles every day, and there are also chess games for people to ponder. No one without two brushes dares to challenge easily.
Although women can come for a night swim on the canal, the time should not be too long or too late. They must leave before midnight. Otherwise, if people find out, they will think that the woman is not discreet and reserved enough, and her reputation will be ruined.
So after nightfall, the time they can really play is only an hour.
The three of them ordered some music, guessed a few lantern riddles, and solved a chess game. They all came back having fun.
Butler Liu accompanied him all the time, even though Yan Qingzheng repeatedly told him to leave first.
But Butler Liu refused to leave. He knew that although the prince had followed Princess Rouye, his heart had already stayed here. He could not completely tell Miss Yan Qi's every move after he left.
My position as housekeeper has come to an end.
While the cruise ship was docking, Miss Fifth still took the time to ask Butler Liu about Princess Rouye.
"Princess Rouye is the only daughter of the late Prince Ji. After the prince and princess passed away one after another, Princess Rouye, who was only three years old thirteen years ago, was left in the palace to be raised by the Queen Mother. At that time, Rong Che was also raised by the Queen Mother.
, so the two of them were childhood sweethearts. However, just a year later, the Queen Mother passed away, and our prince established a mansion and lived alone. Princess Rouye was raised by Princess De because she was too young. Until Princess Rouye
When she was nine years old, the late princess's brother came to pick her up and took her back to her hometown in Cheng Yang. Our prince has never seen Princess Rouye again, but we have exchanged letters over the years."
"Then Princess Rouye is already sixteen years old. Isn't she already engaged?"
"Uh... I don't know about this. Logically speaking, at this age, we should be engaged." Butler Liu rolled his eyes.
Fifth Miss calculated the time and asked, "In other words, when Prince Xuan and Seventh Sister got engaged, she had not left yet?"
According to Butler Liu, when Princess Rouye was nine years old, Prince Xuan was thirteen years old, and he was married to Yan Qing when he was twelve years old.
"It's more than half a year difference." Butler Liu also calculated it and said.
The fifth lady nodded and looked at Butler Liu who was sitting on pins and needles. He knew that he might not be able to ask what was going on. The boat happened to have docked at this time, so he quickly wiped his cold sweat and asked the ladies to get off the boat.
Butler Liu followed them closely and escorted them back to Yan Mansion, watching them enter the gate before turning around and leaving.
As soon as Yan Qingzheng entered the house, she heard that Nalan Lianyue was looking for her, so she hurried to her parents' yard.
As soon as Nalan Lianyue saw her, she asked, "I heard that Prince Xuan returned to his residence with a woman and left you to go swimming on the river?"
Yan Qing was shocked and said: "Who said that the news spread so fast?"
This speed is almost as fast as flying with my own sword!
"Don't worry so much, just say it or not!" Nalan Lianyue patted her gently and asked.
"yes."
"Who is that woman?"
"I heard it's Princess Rouye who grew up with him."
"That's right. I met her once when she was young, and she was also a poor child... However," Nalan Lianyue continued to ask, "Why did she go to Prince Xuan's palace instead of entering the palace when she returned to Beijing?"
"I don't know about that..." Yan Qing shrugged, "This is someone else's business, why are you so concerned about it!"
"You kid!" Nalan Lianyue glared at her daughter, "You haven't broken off the engagement yet. If he takes in Princess Rouye, wouldn't it be a slap in your face?"
"But aren't we going to break off the engagement? We have to let someone take a concubine!" Yan Qing didn't understand what was so embarrassing about this.
Nalan Lianyue looked at her ignorant daughter, smiled bitterly and waved her hand to let her go back and rest.
Yan Xi came over to comfort his wife and said, "Isn't it good that Qing'er doesn't care about you? If you don't care about Qing'er, you won't be sad!"
Nalan Lianyue suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"
As for Butler Liu, as soon as he stepped into the palace, the servant came over and said that the prince asked him to go to the study. Butler Liu quickly ran over with the wind at his feet, took a breath at the door, and then knocked on the door and went in.
Rong Che sat on a chair with a dark face, holding up a big white cloud and thinking.
"Say it." He said without raising his head.
Butler Liu swallowed his saliva and began to talk calmly when Rong Che got off the boat and continued until they entered the Yan Mansion.
Rong Che listened expressionlessly. After Butler Liu finished speaking, he remained motionless for a while and then said: "Little Zi Zi's residence is arranged in the cross-yard. You hurry up and clean up Zhulanyuan. Let her move in tomorrow."
Go over and find someone suitable to take care of you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Um."
Butler Liu knew it was time to retreat.
He was busy all night and had people clean it up, and he was also thinking about allocating manpower. It was almost dawn, and Butler Liu finally returned to his room to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep. He felt that his prince's love life was too bumpy.
He had made an engagement so early that he had no one to talk to him about the marriage. Now he wants to break off the engagement, but his stubborn prince has already been married to her for the past eight years. Doesn't this hurt his heart?
Based on the principle of your own will and my willingness to do so, my prince reluctantly agreed to break off the engagement under the condition that she expressed her unwillingness.
However, the other party temporarily shelved the plan to break off the engagement because he did not reply to Geng Tie, so the prince began to plan to get close to Yan Qingzheng, and he wanted to win the girl's heart without breaking off the engagement. Just when he saw some hope, Princess Rouye appeared!
Butler Liu shook his head, feeling that his prince's marriage might really be canceled!
Rong Che also thought about the same problem. He knew that Xiao Yezi had feelings for him, but he didn't expect that she would go all the way back to the capital from Cheng Yang. Due to their childhood friendship, he couldn't refuse her request to move in, and he couldn't
She turned a blind eye to her physical discomfort.
He hoped that she would not misunderstand him, so he arranged for Princess Rouye to be settled. He had been feeling uneasy in his heart, fearing that Yan Qingzheng would not be happy in the future and would take this matter to heart.
Unexpectedly, Butler Liu said that he didn't care at all and had a great time, so he should be relieved, but Rong Che was not happy at all.
Doesn't she care about herself at all?
This conflicting mood kept him awake all night, but Yan Qingzheng went to bed early and slept soundly.
