"Your Highness the Changqing Of Gojoseon," Rong Xia looked at the uninvited guest and pushed a cup of tea in front of him, "Your Highness has come. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling."
"Ha," The Changqing Of Gojoseon gave an ambiguous laugh and took a sip of the tea, "I thought you would dislike me as an uninvited guest."
"Your Highness is joking." Rong Xia saw that half of the tea in his cup was gone and helped him refill the tea.
Rong Xia's hands were very white and the joints were distinct. This was a pair of hands that had been pampered. If he was willing to pick up a brush and make a painting, countless people would flock to him and would not regret spending a thousand gold. The Changqing Of Gojoseon and Rong Xia had known each other for many years, but their relationship could not be considered particularly close. For the Changqing Of Gojoseon, he could make many friends, but he could not have close friends. Therefore, even if he admired Rong Xia, it was only admiration.
"Your relationship with the Jingting Marquessate seems to be good?" The Changqing Of Gojoseon opened his fan and waved it in front of his face.
"Hm?" Rong Xia put down the teapot and said with a faint smile, "We can speak a few words."
"I thought that you and that junzhu …" The Changqing Of Gojoseon noticed that Rong Xia raised his head to look at him and smiled, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously."
"Your Highness, it's better not to joke about a girl's marriage," Rong Xia looked away and put the teacup to his nose to sniff it. He turned the cup but did not drink.
"When has our Jing City talked about such things between men and women?" The Changqing Of Gojoseon closed his fan and threw it on the table, "Also, the news of the Princess Fule and the youngest di son of the Left Prime Minister's Family has spread like wildfire."
The surface of Rong Xia's teacup swayed slightly. He put down the teacup and did not speak.
The Changqing Of Gojoseon knew that Rong Xia was not interested in the trivialities between men and women, but this did not affect his interest in gossip. He drank tea and chatted.
"I don't know how the Yan Family teaches their son. Once he sees a beauty, he can't walk and insists on marrying that girl Ban Han," The Changqing Of Gojoseon thought of Ban Han's appearance and showed some admiration, "But that girl is truly beautiful. If I wasn't her uncle, I would also want to … cough."
Rong Xia took a sip of tea and still did not speak.
"It wasn't a big deal," the Changqing Of Gojoseon shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Prince Xiang has dreams, but the Goddess has no heart. Yan Zhen has deep feelings for the Princess Ban, but the Princess Ban has no feelings for Yan Zhen. After Yan Zhen returned home, he fell ill. It's said that medicine is useless now. The Left Prime Minister's Residence is worried and almost begged the Ban Family to let their daughter marry into their family."
"Yan Zhen is ill?" Rong Xia raised his eyebrows, "Wasn't he fine when he was at the Shi Family's holiday home a few days ago?"
"Is the Shi Family's holiday home interesting?" The Changqing Of Gojoseon shook his head, "The Shi Family is just like their surname. It's not interesting. But that Shi Jin looks like a talent. "
Rong Xia frowned and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"That's right, I was just talking about Yan Zhen's illness," Changqing Of Gojoseon brought the topic back, "The Yan Family invited the Imperial Physician, but the Imperial Physician said that it was a mental illness and that medicine was useless."
"Poor Princess Fule. She's such a beauty. She's just a little too beautiful, but she attracted this kind of trouble. Marriage in this world is all about mutual consent. Yan Zhen made such a fuss. It's like roasting the Ban Family on a fire. " The Changqing Of Gojoseon did not have a good impression of a bookworm like Yan Zhen, "That's why I hate bookworms like him the most. All they do is read and study. When they see a beauty, they don't care about anything else. Etiquette, justice, integrity, honor, filial piety, and benevolence are all thrown aside. A good girl is implicated because of him."
Gossipers hated it the most when they talked excitedly and the other person didn't react at all. The Changqing Of Gojoseon saw that Rong Xia was still indifferent. The more he talked, the less interested he became. In the end, he could only get up and leave.
After leaving the Cheng Anbo residence, the Changqing Of Gojoseon sneered. He thought that Rong Xia had some feelings for that Princess Fule. Now it seemed that he had thought too much.
If a normal man heard that the woman he was interested in was being coveted by someone else, how could he have such a reaction? Poor Princess Ban, who was devastatingly beautiful, because of a man who was obsessed with her, she was once again caught in a rumor.
Every time this kind of thing happened, people in the world would always despise women for being a femme fatale. However, appearance was a gift given to people by God. If someone fell in love with her, he couldn't blame himself for not having enough willpower. He could only blame the other person for being too beautiful. How absurd and ridiculous.
He had always been fond of beautiful women, but he didn't like it when others were so mean to beautiful women.
The Changqing Of Gojoseon wasn't exaggerating. At this moment, the Yan Family was indeed in a gloomy state. Lady Yan looked at her son, who was breathing out more than he was breathing in, and almost cried herself hoarse. Although she scolded her son for not living up to her expectations, she hated Ban Han in her heart. She had a face full of calamity and seduced her son, but her upbringing made her swallow these words into her stomach.
Yan Zhen's eldest brother and sister-in-law tried to persuade Lady Yan in a low voice. They were also worried about their younger brother's health, so they were extremely busy.
The eldest brother of the Yan Family, Yan Ming, was currently on duty at the Ministry of Revenue. Because something had happened at home, he could only ask for leave from the higher-ups. When he left the Ministry of Revenue, his colleagues looked at him strangely, but he could only pretend that he didn't know and hurried back.
If this kind of thing were to get out, the one who would lose the most face would be their Yan Family. Right now, in the entire capital, who knew how many people would laugh at them.
A good man, seeking death because of a woman, wasn't this a joke?
Although Yan Ming hated his brother for not living up to his expectations, his heart softened when he saw his brother's pale face and how he couldn't even swallow the ginseng soup. This was his younger brother who he had watched grow up. How could he just watch him get weaker day by day?
"Even the Imperial Doctor can't do anything about it?" Yan Ming pondered for a long time, "Why don't …" We go and beg the Ban Family again. If we can marry the Princess Ban, my brother's health will definitely improve. "
"But the Ban Family did not agree to this marriage. If it wasn't for that Princess Ban's refusal, how could your brother have become like this?" Lady Yan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "This troublesome evil creature, when he's better, I will definitely break his legs. There are so many beautiful women in the world, why do you insist on not letting go of a princess? "
The eldest young mistress of the Yan Family, Madam Chen, stood beside her husband and did not say anything. Her relationship with her mother-in-law was not very good, but as a daughter-in-law, she could only endure her mother-in-law's harshness and criticism. However, in her heart, she did not have much feelings for Lady Yan. Hearing her mother-in-law say that about the Princess Ban, she did not think much of it. There were indeed many beauties in the world, but how many could be as dazzling as the Princess Ban?
Even she couldn't help but be dazed when she saw the Princess Ban, not to mention her uncle, who had read too much.
The Princess Ban was in line with those peerless beauties in poetry and literature. Her status was noble, her appearance could topple cities, her clothes were gorgeous, and her figure was graceful. Putting aside her personality, she was a peerless immortal concubine in poetry and literature.
Wasn't her uncle's soul hooked the moment he saw her?
Not to mention her uncle, she was afraid that many men in the capital had been stunned by the Princess Ban. Otherwise, why would there be so many women who did not like the Princess Ban?
As a woman, how many people would like their husband or sweetheart to be hooked away by other women? Perhaps they knew in their hearts that it was the lecherous man who was at fault, but they only hated the woman who had hooked their souls away from this man.
"Why don't we ask someone to talk about it?" Yan Ming really couldn't bear to see her brother like this. "It's possible for the Ban Family to change their mind."
"No one is allowed to go!" Yan Hui walked in from outside and looked at his youngest son on the bed with disappointment. "Do you think the Yan Family isn't shameful enough?"
"Shame, shame, you only think about shame, what about the child?!" Lady Yan finally couldn't hold back her emotions. "Do you want to watch him die?"
"Who can he blame if he doesn't live up to his expectations?" Yan Hui was angry and worried, his mouth full of bitterness, "The Ban Family doesn't want to marry their daughter to us at all. What's the difference between us begging them and forcing them with our lives?"
"So what if I force them with my life?" Lady Yan wiped her eyes and said sternly, "I will beg the Ban Family to marry their daughter over. If master stops me, I will die in front of you."
"You, you!" Yan Hui clutched his chest, his face pale with anger. "If you dare to leave this door today, I will divorce you!"
"Father!" Yan Ming supported Yan Hui and hurriedly advised, "Sit down first, don't be angry and harm your body."
Madam Chen also went to persuade her mother-in-law, but was pushed away by Lady Yan. She couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the bonsai beside her.
"Young Mistress!" Madam Chen's maidservant was so scared that she stepped forward to help her up.
"I'm fine." Madam Chen stroked her aching lower abdomen and looked at Lady Yan's angry back. She turned her head to look at her husband who was sitting beside her father-in-law and said in a calm and cold tone, "Go call the doctor."
"Young Mistress, what's wrong with you?" The maidservant was so scared that her face changed. Young Mistress's period was more than ten days late, could it be...
"It's nothing serious, maybe it's a miscarriage." Madam Chen felt something flowing out of her lower abdomen.
Hearing the exclamations of the surrounding maidservants, Madam Chen felt a sense of relief. She saw her husband hurrying towards her and raised her hand little by little. Using all her strength, she slapped the man's face.
"Pa!"
A crisp slap sounded and Madam Chen's blood-stained skirt exuded a strong smell of blood.
When the Ban Family heard the servant report that the Left Prime Minister's wife had come, there was not the slightest surprise on their faces.
Ban Heng turned his head to look at his elder sister. Elder sister was holding a snow-white porcelain teacup in her stained hands. Her whole person looked shockingly beautiful. The arrival of the Left Prime Minister's wife did not seem to affect her. She even ate a piece of snack with great interest.
The Yin Clan gave a cold laugh, "His family raised a good-for-nothing, yet they still want my precious daughter to marry him. What kind of family are they?"
"I'll have someone drive her away, so we don't have to worry." Ban Huai slapped the table and was about to call the servant in.
"What are you panicking for?" The old woman sitting at the head of the table finally spoke. She picked up the teacup and gently scraped the tea with the lid, "With this royal one here, I want to see who dares to force this royal one's granddaughter to marry."
The Princess Royal gently placed the teacup on the table and the teacup made a clattering sound.
Her words were like a stabilizing force, calming everyone in the Ban Family.
"Huahua is this royal one's own granddaughter. Half of the royal blood flows in her body. The Yan Family is not worthy of her." The Princess Royal's face was indifferent. She gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, "His Yan Family's death has nothing to do with us."
"If you want to die, then die far away. Don't be an eyesore to this royal one."
The Princess Royal's cold voice was filled with killing intent.
