Chapter 721 King Yang's Awakening
Wu Yue'er felt that her brother looked down on her. Although what happened yesterday was indeed shameful, he had made it very clear at the time that he had encountered an evil spirit.
Now that everyone knows this, we can't keep harping on this matter.
No matter what, she is still a princess!
Seeing that Wu Yue'er had not reflected on her actions, Wu Jingshuo felt even heavier. His father and mother had spoiled her too much, which had led her to act recklessly.
This is no longer the Qi Yue Dynasty. They came for a marriage alliance because they had lost a war. Her temper has not improved at all, and she will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future!
"The marriage alliance can't be delayed any longer. You should choose your spouse now and get married as soon as possible. I have to go back," Wu Jingshuo said.
Wu Yue'er was slightly taken aback. "You're going back so soon?"
"That's right. You should have gotten married right after you arrived. Now that it's been delayed, it can't be delayed any longer!"
Wu Jingshuo made up his mind that he needed to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, otherwise he might be implicated.
Wu Yue'er's expression changed. If she were forced to marry now, the Prince of Chu would definitely have no chance. Among the remaining princes, she could probably only choose the Seventh Prince.
"Who do you really want to marry?"
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Why not give me a little more time..."
"Give you a little more time to embarrass yourself?" Wu Jingshuo interrupted Wu Yue'er and made a decision directly, "If you continue to delay, I will ignore you and go back directly."
Seeing Wu Jingshuo's resolute attitude, Wu Yue'er had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Then let's go with Prince Yang."
"You should first ask Prince Yang's attitude. These days, it's not like you can just decide to marry someone because you want to!"
Wu Yue'er choked, then said, "She'll definitely agree!"
When Prince Yang received Wu Yue'er's invitation, his expression instantly turned ugly.
"No way? Wasn't my attitude clear enough before? What does she want from me now?"
Prince Yang paced back and forth, a sense of unease creeping into his heart, vaguely sensing that he might become the unlucky one.
"Your Highness, with the marriage alliance imminent, everyone can see that among all the princes, you and Princess Qi Yue are the most compatible, and I'm sure she feels the same way."
"That won't do, absolutely not!"
Prince Yang opposed it without hesitation. A few days ago, he might have thought it was a good idea, but now, he would avoid Wu Yue'er like the plague.
This woman is a rare troublemaker; if he gets entangled with her, he won't be able to escape her forever.
"Go and tell them right now that I am busy!"
Upon learning of the rejection from the Prince Yang's residence, Wu Yue'er's face instantly turned ashen.
"No time? How could he be no time? Where did Prince Yang go today?"
"Princess, that's what the people from Prince Yang's residence told us. As for where Prince Yang went, we found that he seems to have stayed in the residence and did not go out."
"Didn't go out? So you're deliberately lying to me?"
Wu Yue'er clenched her fists. Even if Prince Yang was dissatisfied with what she did at the teahouse that day, several days had passed, and he should have calmed down by now.
As a man, I can't be so petty, can I?
"Princess, what happened last time angered His Highness Prince Yang. He's probably really planning to give up now. If you truly like him, why don't you try to find a way to get closer to him?"
A maidservant standing nearby couldn't help but speak up, saying that if things continued like this, she was really worried that the princess wouldn't be able to find a marriage partner.
"What do you mean by that? Do you expect me, the princess, to apologize to him first?"
Wu Yue'er gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment. It was clearly Prince Yang who was being petty, yet now she was being asked to apologize. She simply couldn't stand it.
"We're not even engaged yet, and he's already acting like this. I might as well switch to the Eighth Prince!"
“Princess, Prince Yang is more handsome than the Eighth Prince. Didn’t you say before that among all the princes, you favored Prince Yang the most?”
"If we were to invite the Eighth Prince now, there would be even less hope," the maid whispered, offering her advice.
Wu Yue'er couldn't swallow this insult, and she was also thinking about how her brother was forcing her to finalize the marriage within the next two days.
If she didn't do this, wouldn't she be even more unable to handle the situation once her brother really left?
"In that case, I'll take the initiative to go find him!"
The maid was overjoyed to see that the princess had finally come to her senses, and happily helped Wu Yue'er dress up in her finest attire.
Meanwhile, King Yang became increasingly uneasy, feeling that things were not so simple!
"Wu Yue'er caused trouble at the Song family the day before yesterday, and Ao Jie was brought there by her. Yesterday's incident was probably also her doing. I suppose Lao Ba and the others have realized that this woman is troublesome, so they all backed down."
She came specifically to invite me today, but I'm afraid even the Eighth Prince and the others are unwilling to come out. She's got her eye on me, isn't she?"
Prince Yang looked at the servant beside him and analyzed as he spoke, "What if she becomes determined to marry me? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"Your Highness, are you really not going to marry her?" the servant couldn't help but ask, even though the prince had previously been determined to marry her.
"I'm not stupid. If she offended other princesses, that would be one thing, but she chose to offend Princess Chu!"
Who is the Emperor's favorite son now? It's his third brother! And his favorite daughter-in-law is his third sister-in-law!
I knew long ago that I couldn't compare to her, so I gave up on the idea early on. I only thought about being a carefree prince and living a peaceful life. That's why I married her.
But think about it, think about it—she's deliberately targeting my third sister-in-law. What if my third brother inherits the throne? My death is imminent!
As King Yang pondered the matter, he sorted it out and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was indeed the case!
In fact, among the princes now, the ultimate contenders are the eldest prince and the third prince, and of the two, he favors the third prince more.
So... even for the sake of his own life, he absolutely cannot marry her!
"No, I must go to the palace now and inform my mother of the situation. I must find a way to finalize the marriage today and completely eliminate any possibility of it!"
Thinking of this, Prince Yang immediately got up and went to the palace!
The mother of Prince Yang was Consort Shu. When she saw Prince Yang rushing into the palace, she was puzzled. But she understood after Prince Yang explained his purpose.
"I've also heard about this. I originally thought it would be nice for you to marry a princess, but now it seems that this marriage is really not suitable for you."
"You want to get married as soon as possible, do you have a girl you like?"
Consort Shu thought that there were quite a few noble ladies in the capital who were not yet engaged, but if we were to talk about someone of higher status, Tang Xue Ning would be the one.
"Ever since the incident at the porridge distribution center, the Prime Minister's daughter's marriage has been delayed, and I've heard that the Prime Minister himself is quite anxious about it..."
