Chapter 734 I'm engaged!
Chapter 734 I'm engaged!
"Princess, General Ao Jie has sent someone to say that he would like to invite you to go to the Song family with him today."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue'er's face instantly darkened, her brows and eyes filled with impatience.
"He can go if he wants to. It's not like I'm crippled. I'm not going!"
"Princess, if General Ao Jie hears this news, he will probably be unhappy..."
"What does his happiness or unhappiness have to do with me? He's just a general, while I'm a princess. Does he think he can order me around?"
Wu Yue'er looked displeased. "I need to go find Prince Yang now. I haven't even resolved my own problems. How can I help him?"
"By the way, did His Highness Prince Yang still not make an appointment with me today?"
Maid: "No."
"Is there any news about the other princes?" Wu Yue'er asked again, unwilling to give up.
The maidservant stammered, "No..."
Since that incident, they realized that the princes probably all disliked the princess, but the princess seemed completely oblivious to this...
"Damn it, don't these people believe I was possessed by an evil spirit? Otherwise, how could I, as a princess, do something so disgraceful!"
Wu Yue'er gritted her teeth, and suddenly she understood the reason behind it.
“Song Ruozhen must have said bad things about me, otherwise why would they treat me like this?”
"No, I have to go see Prince Yang right now. If this marriage isn't settled soon, things might change!"
When Wu Yue'er arrived at the Yang Prince's residence, the Prince's heart skipped a beat when he learned that this troublesome girl had come looking for him.
It's true what they say, what goes around comes around; this woman has really gotten entangled with me now.
At this moment, the servant rushed over in a hurry.
"Your Highness, a letter has arrived from the palace!"
Prince Yang's eyes lit up instantly. "Quickly, let me see it."
When he saw the five words "The matter has been settled" written by his mother, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.
"Mother is so efficient; she got it done so quickly!"
King Yang instantly felt refreshed, and his anxiety and worry were completely relieved at that moment.
"Your Highness, what about Princess Qi Yue?"
“Let’s go, since she’s come to see me several times, let’s go and see what she’s up to!” King Yang said with a smile.
Seeing his master's attitude change drastically, the servant couldn't help but sigh that Consort Shu's news had come at just the right time.
After being welcomed into the Prince Yang's residence, Wu Yue'er felt a surge of pride, knowing that the Prince Yang would not easily forget her.
"Princess, what brings you to my residence?"
When Wu Yue'er saw Prince Yang, she looked displeased and asked, "What have you been busy with these past few days?"
“Of course I’m busy with important matters,” said Prince Yang.
Seeing that he didn't explain much, Wu Yue'er felt a little unhappy. "I came here today to have a frank and clear talk with you."
"It just so happens that I also have something to say..."
"Listen to me first!"
Wu Yue'er didn't give Prince Yang a chance to explain, and spoke on her own:
"After spending this time together, I know exactly what you think of me, and I might as well tell you that I have a good impression of you."
"But what happened at the teahouse that day really upset me, and you need to apologize to me. Besides, you've been too cold towards me these past few days; I don't like being treated hot and cold."
"If you continue like this, don't blame me for not giving you another chance!"
King Yang: "..."
He had initially thought that telling Wu Yue'er about this might be hurtful, but now it seems he was just overthinking it. Given the girl's temperament, how could she possibly know what it means to be hurt?
"I don't need this opportunity; you're overthinking it."
Disbelief flashed in Wu Yue'er's eyes. "What did you say?"
"My marriage is settled today. Moreover, I made it clear at the teahouse that we are not a good match, so there is no need to waste time."
"What do you mean your marriage is already arranged?"
"I will be getting married soon, and you will be welcome to come and have a drink at my wedding."
Prince Yang said calmly, "If there's nothing else, then go back."
Wu Yue'er was stunned by the news and couldn't believe that what Prince Yang said was true. How could he be engaged?
Meanwhile, the Eighth Prince and the others breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Wu Yue'er had gone to see Prince Yang.
"Let this good fortune go to our seventh brother; we are not worthy of it."
"I hope this princess will marry my brother soon. I used to think she was alright, but now I find her temperament to be terrifying. Luckily, my seventh brother is here."
However, when they learned that Wu Yue'er had stormed out of the Yang Prince's mansion, they all realized that something was wrong.
"Things don't seem to be that simple..."
The Eighth Prince suddenly had a bad feeling. Looking at the two people beside him, he asked, "Do you know what Prince Yang has been up to these past two days?"
The remaining two exchanged a glance and both shook their heads. "We don't know."
"Ever since the incident at the teahouse, my seventh brother has stopped paying attention to Wu Yue'er and hasn't gone out with her since."
I found it strange at the time, but I didn't think much of it until I heard that he went to the Chu King's Mansion several times later, and then I understood.
He probably wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to his third brother, and choosing between the princess and his third brother was a very clever choice.
As princes themselves, they naturally knew that their third brother was the most popular and had the most officials supporting him in the court.
If he can become the crown prince in the future, it is very smart of Prince Yang to choose sides now, and his choice to give up the princess in this matter is undoubtedly a pledge of loyalty.
"He was really lucky. Although Wu Yue'er was a bit willful and capricious before, she didn't cause any trouble."
Unexpectedly, trouble struck again and again afterward. If I were the seventh prince, I certainly wouldn't have turned back either.
The group exchanged glances and immediately came to a conclusion.
If it were them, they wouldn't want to have anything to do with Wu Yue'er now. It's undoubtedly the best that Prince Yang cut off any possibility beforehand.
Unless he's mentally unstable, he would never change his mind.
“If Seventh Brother doesn’t agree, then I’m afraid Wu Yue’er will choose Eighth Brother.”
The Eighth Prince, Kang Wang, changed his expression slightly. "No way? I haven't had any contact with her these past few days. It shouldn't be like this, right?"
However, just as they were talking, a servant suddenly came to announce their arrival.
"Your Highness, the princess of the Qi Yue Dynasty has come to see you."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room changed drastically; it was exactly what they had feared had come to pass.
"Brother, we won't keep you any longer, we'll be leaving now!"
"Yes, yes, we happen to have other things to do, so let's go first. Let's just leave through the back door!"
Seeing how disloyal they were, rushing off as soon as they heard the news, King Kang was furious. These guys were now counting on her again!
