Chapter 218: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
After all, she would marry that monster instead of herself and become a widow, while she would enter the palace and become the one who was second only to the emperor.
Therefore, we must find a way to exchange the engagement quickly.
……
In the middle of the night, Mr. Ye tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
He carefully recalled what happened during the day and felt that it was really strange. He had a strange feeling that all this was directed at Ye Ruxing.
After a sleepless night, Mr. Ye got up very early the next day. As soon as he woke up, the butler came up to him and said respectfully to him.
"Master, something big has happened."
"What's wrong?" Master Ye was a little unhappy, wondering why things kept happening one after another. The housekeeper looked at the dark circles under Master Ye's eyes and spoke cautiously, "I don't know where the news came from this morning. Tell me, tell me..."
Seeing him hesitating, Master Ye felt unhappy for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The housekeeper sighed, "For some reason, there have been rumors circulating on the streets, saying that Miss Ruoxing is in a Buddhist temple and is involved with the Emperor's uncle. They say our young lady is actually trying to get close to the Emperor's uncle, which is really not a good thing. Some even say that since Miss Ruoxing was the one who was originally granted the marriage, her intimate behavior is nothing serious."
Mr. Ye frowned unhappily. There was nothing worth paying attention to about this kind of rumor. After all, rumors stop at the wise.
He doesn't like to waste time on such trivial matters.
"It's all just nonsense, don't pay any attention to it."
The butler wiped the sweat from his brow. What he had just said was just prelude. He spoke carefully, "Also, the eldest princess has arrived at the gate of our house. She said she wanted to come and see Miss Ruoxing."
Master Ye: ...
"You fool! Why are you telling me such an important thing now?"
He slapped the butler hard. After the loud slap, the butler's face swelled up quickly. He fell to the ground, covering his face, and kowtowed continuously.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Master Ye slowly exhaled, then quickly straightened his clothes and walked towards the door.
When he arrived at the door and saw the eldest princess's gorgeous sedan chair, his heart instantly tightened. He walked quickly forward and knelt in front of the sedan chair.
"I didn't know the princess was coming. I'm late. Please forgive me, princess."
The eldest princess is the queen's first child. She is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, which is the age when she is lively and lovely.
She reached out and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing a round and particularly lovely face. The pink robe she was wearing made her look even more beautiful than a flower.
"Hey, someone's coming?"
She got out of the carriage and stood on the carriage frame, smiling with her eyebrows curved, and asked cheerfully, "You are from the Ye family, right? I want to meet the one from your family. What's his name?"
As she spoke, she turned her head to ask the little maid beside her, and the little maid quickly whispered to her, "Princess, her name is Ye Ruoxing."
"Ye Ruoxing, yes, the one called Ye Ruoxing."
She was just too curious.
What kind of woman would dare to tease her uncle, the emperor? That old antique with a bad temper would always say a few words to her every time he saw her.
One moment it's, "A girl should be dignified and graceful."
Then it was, "Your words and actions are inappropriate and have brought shame upon the royal family."
The person she hated the most was this elder.
Fortunately, he later went to a Buddhist temple to practice, otherwise she would have suffocated to death.
This morning, she heard right after she woke up that her bad-tempered uncle was actually molested by the girl from the Ye family.
There were rumors on the street that the girl from the Ye family had gone to the emperor's uncle's yard last night under the pretext of going to Fuze Temple to pay homage, and had tried to fawn on him in various ways to curry his favor, with methods even more despicable than those used in Zui Honglou.
The eldest princess didn't know how those people in Zuihonglou won favor, but she grew up in the palace and was not unfamiliar with such things.
She knew that the most outrageous person was a concubine who actually drugged her father, then stripped herself naked and crawled into her father's quilt. This incident was once a joke at the time.
Just thinking of the emperor's uncle's meticulous face and combining it with such a scene made her want to laugh.
The eldest princess specifically requested to see Ye Ruoxing, so the Ye family naturally did not dare to neglect her. Master Ye immediately ordered the housekeeper, "Go and call the second young lady over. The eldest princess wants to see her."
The housekeeper hurriedly ran to call Ye Ruoxing, and soon, Ye Ruoxing hurried out from the yard.
She didn't know what the eldest princess wanted to ask her to do. After all, she didn't know her. However, she was the emperor's daughter, so she naturally didn't dare to neglect her when meeting a woman of her status.
Master Ye was still kneeling there, his waist tensed and hunched like a shrimp. Seeing his funny look, Ye Ruoxing just felt inexplicably funny.
She walked to the front of the carriage, saluted according to the rules, and said, "Ye Ruoxing greets the eldest princess."
When the eldest princess saw Ye Ruoxing, she was a little surprised. She was different from what she had imagined. She thought Ye Ruoxing was the kind of charming and enchanting woman who relied on her looks and was crazy about getting to the top.
But the girl in front of him had no fancy dress and no makeup on her face. She was dressed even more simply than the little girl next to her, but the hairpin on her head was very unique.
Although the hairpin was also plain, the eldest princess could tell at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary item and was rarely seen anywhere else, even for her.
But the eldest princess didn't feel it was a pity to have such a beautiful hairpin on her. After all, even without any deliberate makeup, her face was still breathtakingly beautiful.
In the palace, the most beautiful one is Concubine Wei. Before she entered the palace, she was recognized as the most beautiful lady among all the noble ladies. However, the eldest princess believed that Concubine Wei was not worth mentioning in front of this lady's peerless beauty.
“You’re so pretty!”
The eldest princess praised him generously, but she asked with some doubt, "Aren't you a daughter of the Ye family? Why are you dressed so shabbily? The Ye family is a family of officials, and their daughters wouldn't dress like this."
So poor...
Ye Ruoxing silently completed the words that the eldest princess had not said in her heart. In fact, she also found it very funny. She was obviously the biological daughter of the Ye family, but she lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.
Ye Furong was obviously the adopted daughter of the Ye family and lived a much better life than her biological daughter. It would be ridiculous to tell others about it, but this kind of thing happened to her.
"Replying to the Princess, I am not a young lady of the Ye family."
Mr. Ye had been kneeling with his head down, but when he heard what Ye Ruoxing said, he immediately glared at her fiercely.
"Oh..." The princess nodded. "I see. Who gave you the hairpin?"
This hairpin...
Ye Ruoxing answered truthfully, "This is a gift from the general."
Hearing this, the eldest princess's expression changed drastically. She asked coldly, "Is it General Shu Huanchen?"
