Chapter 274 I won’t tell you
The long street is bustling with people coming and going.
Among them, the carriage of the princess's mansion was the most dazzling. As soon as Xu Yuan took a look at it, he had the answer in his mind.
She said, "This Princess Changqing is indeed extraordinary."
"Yes, her husband is the crown prince, her adoptive father is the general, and her uncle is the Khan of Goshu. She herself was personally appointed as a princess by the emperor, and now she is in the emperor's good graces. I still remember the banquet at Princess Changqing's mansion that day. The banquet was almost as big as the banquet at Prince Cheng's mansion two days ago."
Although Song Xiujing is a princess, she is not as good as Bei Yao.
Qi Shengzhu's words seemed to be intended to provoke confrontation between the two.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan reminded in a calm voice: "Miss Qi, it's fine for you to say this here, but if it gets out, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to you."
Qi Shengzhu smiled lightly: "Will Master Xu tell others about this?"
"Of course not, but Miss Song is the Princess of Changqing, and the Third Prince is also a royal relative. No matter what, these two people are not something you and I can judge."
Qi Shengzhu is slightly stagnant.
Xuyuan's words were fair, but she understood that Xuyuan must be biased towards one person in his heart.
It could be Song Xiujing, or it could be Bei Yao.
Or maybe, both of them?
If that's the case, she was really shooting herself in the foot by saying this.
Thinking of this, Qi Shengzhu continued to say, "Mr. Xu is right. Both of them are indeed outstanding people with noble status. So, it's a pity to waste such a good marriage."
Qi Shengzhu continued to test him, his eyes never leaving Xu Yuan's face for a moment.
There must be something fishy about the Third Prince breaking off the engagement.
Otherwise, why would you cancel the engagement at this time instead of earlier or later?
Coincidentally, not long after Song Xiujing's engagement was broken off, she immediately hooked up with the prince.
Therefore, the whole story should be that the prince learned about Song Xiujing's identity, and then asked Beiyao to cancel the engagement. Beiyao just didn't want to marry Song Xiujing, and the two hit it off.
However, I don’t know whether Beiyao knew Song Xiujing’s identity at that time. Now that he knows, will he regret it?
"Yes, but whether this marriage is a pity or not, it has nothing to do with you and me, right?" Xu Yuan asked back.
Qi Shengzhu had never seen Xu Yuan look like this.
Qi Shengxin is the same.
Seeing Qi Shengzhu's smile stagnated and he didn't know what to say, Qi Shengxin spoke to ease the situation and said, "The food is already served, let's eat first."
-
"Third Master, don't you regret it?"
"What do you regret? Do you regret not having Geshu's help, or letting the prince benefit?" Bei Yao turned the teacup, remembering that Xu Yuan had asked the same question before, the smile on his face deepened.
Seeing Beiyao smiling inexplicably, Shen Yichuan smelled something different and immediately said, "No, there's something fishy going on."
"It is true that there is something fishy going on. I knew Song Xiujing's identity long ago. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have insisted on breaking off the engagement."
After hearing Bei Yao's words, Shen Yichuan pondered for a moment, "Is Song Xiujing's identity fake?"
"it is true."
"Why is that?" Shen Yichuan felt that he had been under house arrest for a period of time and seemed to have become estranged from Beiyao.
Because he had no idea what Bei Yao was trying to do.
At first, it was learned that the person he was engaged to was Song Xiujing, who was still in Sishui County and was a country girl.
Bei Yao found him and asked him to go to Sishui County to see what Song Xiujing's temperament was like, whether she was smart, and whether she could be worthy of being the third prince's consort.
If possible, he would use his identity as a teacher to tell Song Xiujing about the situation in the capital and the distribution of power.
If that doesn't work, find another woman to replace her.
In short, the Third Prince's wife cannot be a short-sighted person. She must have a broad mind, be able to make plans, and be aware of the situation in the capital. She can also become Beiyao's sharpest sword to stab the Song family.
Obviously, the moment he saw Song Xiujing, Shen Yichuan knew that Song Xiujing was the latter.
So, according to Bei Yao's arrangement, he used the excuse of imparting knowledge to subtly tell Song Xiujing about the situation in the capital.
Under normal circumstances, Bei Yao should marry Song Xiujing immediately after returning to the capital.
But Bei Yao did not do so. Instead, he delayed again and again, and even directly cancelled the engagement, giving such a good helper to the prince.
Shen Yichuan couldn't figure it out before, and he couldn't figure it out now.
Bei Yao smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "Let me ask you a question. If you were asked to choose between the kingdom and the beauty, which one would you choose?"
Without thinking, Shen Yichuan said directly: "Of course it's Jiangshan."
"But I'm different. Jiangshan has no attraction to me. I can take it or not. I chose Song Xiujing before because I didn't have anyone I liked. It didn't matter who I married. But now it's different. I have someone I want to marry. For her, let alone giving up Song Xiujing, I'm willing to give up the whole world."
"How can a woman be compared to heaven..." Shen Yichuan paused for a moment, then suddenly reacted and asked loudly, "When did you find someone you loved? Why didn't I know?"
Seeing Shen Yichuan's annoyed look after realizing it belatedly, Bei Yao deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I won't tell you."
Shen Yichuan didn't get angry. He touched his forehead and recalled, "Wait, wait, let me think about it. You asked me to send Song Xiujing to the capital, so we didn't meet at that time, right?"
Beiyao said nothing.
Shen Yichuan immediately gained confidence and clapped his hands, saying, "So, you fell in love with that woman at first sight. However, you and I both know the noble ladies in the capital, so there are no new faces."
For a moment, countless faces flashed through Shen Yichuan's mind.
In the end, no one was left.
Shen Yichuan pondered for a long time, and finally compromised, saying directly: "Third Master, tell me, I will help you to judge, okay?"
"Why do I need you to judge the woman I like?" Bei Yao asked back.
Shen Yichuan was not disappointed that his plan failed, and continued to persuade him: "As your good brother, I naturally have to meet her first. Moreover, with your character, if you like her, I'm afraid you will propose marriage immediately. There are only two reasons why you haven't moved yet. One is that the woman is unwilling, and the other is that you are worried that her status and position are not suitable for you, and the emperor will object. So, you should tell me, maybe I can help you."
"Your abacus beads are about to hit me in the face." Bei Yao put away the teacup and replied one by one: "First, she will definitely not be unwilling. Second, if she is willing to marry me, she must be a noble lady. Our statuses are compatible, but they are not matched. What do you think the people in the palace can do to me?"
Bei Yao looked at Shen Yichuan and slowly said the last sentence: "Third, after you have met her and know her, you will definitely think that I have a good eye, and I will definitely work hard to make this happen."
Shen Yichuan was speechless: "Do you still need to play dumb with me? Or do you think I will steal your favorite person?"
"That's not certain."
Shen Yichuan: “…”
After being speechless, Shen Yichuan said: "That woman is just a treasure in your eyes, do you need to be so cautious?"
"Yes." Bei Yao nodded heavily.
After that, he added: "Don't worry, you will know who she is soon."
"That's better. Otherwise, I'll be the first to disagree." Shen Yichuan said viciously.
