C166 The Spy Appeared
At the end of her studies, Jiegeng ran into another pestering person at the palace entrance.
"Jiegeng, what a coincidence!" Hsing Zheng warmly greeted Jiegeng.
"Yeah, what a coincidence. So coincidental that I even suspect that you are following me?"
"How dare you!" The guard beside Hsing Zheng immediately replied. Yesterday, when he found out that this woman actually asked the Crown Prince to be her servant, he immediately hated Jiegeng to the point that his teeth itched.
"You are meddlesome!" Hsing Zheng immediately blamed her. "Don't mind it, they are all too serious. Just take it that I am following you! "
"Alright, I'm not interested in your intentions. After yesterday, we have already settled things. Don't bother me anymore." The first impression that Hsing Zheng gave Jiegeng was really not good. It made Jiegeng reject him until now.
"Don't be like this. Feelings can be slowly nurtured!"
"What do you mean by developing feelings?" Jiegeng fell off him and walked away, minding her own business.
How could Hsing Zheng let Jiegeng go so easily? He immediately followed her.
"Don't tell me you don't know the purpose of my trip to Great Yan?"
"What does your Great Yan want from me?" Jiegeng turned her face away.
"My biggest goal this time is to choose the Crown Princess!"
Jiegeng suddenly stopped her feet, "You came to choose the Crown Princess Consort, but you came to find me to cultivate feelings? You might be thinking!" Jiegeng pointed at Hsing Zheng with a look of shock.
"That's right. You are the person I like."
Jiegeng retracted her finger and looked at Hsing Zheng in disbelief. She looked up, down, left, and right and observed him carefully.
Hsing Zheng was also looking at Jiegeng in discomfort. His voice was a little shaky. "You, what are you doing?"
Jiegeng ignored him and directly grabbed his forearm. She forcefully pulled it out and then put her finger on his inch.
"His pulse is calm and the response is powerful. It does not seem like a sign of madness!" Jiegeng began to ponder on her own.
Hsing Zheng immediately withdrew his hand. "So you think I am crazy!"
Jiegeng also put on a stern face. "What else? It's already good that you and I are not enemies. Why would you choose me as the Crown Princess?"
"Haven't you seen my sincerity?" Hsing Zheng purposely went back on his word.
Jiegeng sneered, "No."
"It's alright. I'll send you back to the manor first." Hsing Zheng smiled brightly.
"No need!" Jiegeng waved her hand, eager to draw a clear line with Hsing Zheng.
Hsing Zheng would not let Jiegeng go so easily, so he naturally followed closely.
"Qi!" Jiegeng was annoyed and anxious and directly asked Qi to stop them.
Hsing Zheng was still unwilling to give up and continued to pester them from behind.
In the Imperial Residence.
"Your Highness, are you not in the Imperial Residence today?" Yang Lanqing specially chose a free time but it was empty and she could not help but feel disappointed.
Butler Duan nodded and then let the servants bring over an exquisite food box. Looking carefully, it was the one Jiegeng rejected last night.
Butler Duan gave the servant a look and the food box was immediately handed to Yang Lanqing.
"Butler Duan, this is?"
"This is the snack that the prince specially prepared for Miss Yang."
Yang Lanqing was overjoyed. After the meal box, she gently opened the lid. The things inside were somewhat familiar to her.
Wasn't this the snack specially prepared for Bai Jiegeng by the kitchen?
After entering the kitchen a few times, Yang Lanqing saw the style of the desserts in the pastry room next door several times. It was exactly the same as the ones in her hands now.
"Other than Miss Jiegeng, Miss Yang, you are the only one!" The butler at the side said with a smile.
"Really!" Yang Lanqing's guess was indeed correct.
"His Royal Highness had instructed that recently there were many matters to attend to and neglected the young miss, so he specially prepared some desserts for the young miss."
"His Royal Highness treats Lanqing really well!" Yang Lanqing smiled but when she thought that Bai Jiegeng also had something similar to her, she could not help but get angry.
"Ms Jiegeng's share should have been sent over long ago." Yang Lanqing sourly muttered to herself.
"Hm?" Butler Duan pretended not to know. "I didn't prepare anything for Miss Jiegeng today. This is the only one!"
"Really?" Yang Lanqing, who was a little disappointed just now, immediately smiled like a flower.
After Yang Lanqing returned to her own residence, she immediately ordered people to carefully place the snacks in the food boxes onto the plate. She even specially let the maidservant make a pot of good tea to match it.
"Mother, you said that the Royal Highness is showing goodwill to me, right?" Yang Lanqing ate the snacks. The sweetness in her mouth was not comparable to the beauty in her heart.
"Silly daughter, is there a need to doubt this?" Yang's mother was overjoyed, "With the identity of the Royal Highness, there is such a heart. It was already very good! One has to know that His Royal Highness did not get close to any girl in the past. Now, as a princess, you definitely won't be able to escape!"
Yang Lanqing put down her snacks and was a little unhappy. "If not for Bai Jiegeng blocking the way, the position of the Princess would be mine."
"Alright, now everyone knows that Bai Jiegeng is already a predetermined Princess. These words might not let outsiders know. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome. "
"Of course I know what to do!" Yang Lanqing pouted.
"Before everything is settled, we must not let Bai Jiegeng discover anything unusual. Otherwise, according to the jealousy of a woman, she will definitely stop it."
"Mother, don't worry. You still don't trust your daughter?"
Yang's mother smiled in relief, "There is still more than a month before you die. If you can invite His Royal Highness, then your weight in His Royal Highness's heart will naturally be self-evident."
This matter that Yang's mother mentioned made Yang Lanqing start to have crooked ideas again.
"Mother, I will try my best."
In a private courtyard in the city.
"Ministry Wai, why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
"Right General, this lowly subject has already sent someone to investigate in private. Prince Xing's visit to Great Yan this time seems to be for the sake of getting married."
"It seems?" The Left Great General raged, "Such inaccurate information, and you dare to brush me off like this?"
The Great General of the Right and the Great General of the Right Yulin Army were in charge of the Imperial Army in the capital together with the Great General of the Left Yulin Army. The Great General of the Right was in charge of the outside of the palace, while the Great General of the Left was in charge of the safety of the palace.
The Right General's full name was Sima Ling, and he was an elder of two dynasties.
"I would like to know if Sir Sima has any definite news about the Prince Regent!" Ministry Wai cupped his hands and said.
