Chapter 129 Go and call for help
Yaoguang's entry into the palace this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Concubine Xian.
In Concubine Xian's opinion, the best way to win over someone is through marriage.
I heard that Yaoguang is still young and hasn't been engaged yet, so her position as the prince's principal wife is vacant. Isn't that perfect?
If he could get Yaoguang's support, her son would have a better chance of winning the throne!
After hearing Concubine Xian's plan, the Second Prince himself also agreed. It doesn't matter how old Yaoguang is or whether she is beautiful or not. What matters is her ability.
If he could have Yaoguang's abilities and financial resources, what would he not get after he ascended the throne?
The plan is ideal, but there is a certain gap between it and reality.
The yard was full of noble ladies standing there. The Second Prince looked around but couldn't see Yaoguang.
In other words, Yaoguang was standing right in front of him, but he didn't recognize her at all.
The second prince didn't pay much attention to the women in the ministers' families. Now that he looked carefully, he saw that they were all unfamiliar faces.
Yaoguang's appearance was not outstanding, he just glanced at her and then set his eyes on someone else.
There were many young and beautiful girls among them, but the Second Prince did not know Yaoguang’s age. After looking around, he felt that she looked like everyone else, but she was no one.
The second prince had no choice but to wait for the crown prince to appear and then go up to him.
"Royal brother, I heard that Miss Yaoguang came today. I wonder where Miss Yaoguang is?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince glanced at the Second Prince in front of him and remained silent.
His second brother hadn't been so friendly to him for a long time, so he must have some ulterior motive. Miss Yaoguang's identity was extraordinary, so she couldn't reveal it casually.
"Does my royal brother have any unspeakable secrets?" the second prince asked with a dagger hidden in his smile.
The prince smiled frankly and remained calm: "Since you are looking for Miss Yaoguang, why don't you go and find her yourself? I just looked around and didn't see Miss Yaoguang. I don't know if she is here or not?"
When he first came, he seemed to have seen it, but he was not sure whether it was Yaoguang.
At today's banquet, the prince had no intention of approaching and talking to Miss Yaoguang, even though Yaoguang was standing right in front of him.
Because of this incident in the court and the country, Yaoguang's reputation gradually grew, and there were rumors that Yaoguang was going to enter the palace.
Either enter this palace or enter this East Palace.
The rumor sounds very detailed, and no one knows where it came from.
He has been with the Crown Princess for a long time, and they have been childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep relationship. Rumors are scary, and the Crown Princess is ill today and did not attend the banquet, so he has to avoid suspicion.
More importantly, the prince could not have any evil thoughts towards a ten-year-old girl.
"So that's how it is!" The second prince touched his nose regretfully.
I thought about it and realized that when the prince came in, he didn't stop for any of the noble ladies. It must be because Yaoguang was not here.
The second prince just waited and waited.
When the emperor arrived at the banquet, he still did not move.
This made many people who came here for Yaoguang today feel that they had come empty-handed.
Yaoguang has such talent, and there are many people who have the same idea as Concubine Xian, especially some powerful families, who naturally want to take the best in the world into their pockets.
How could they know how the emperor and Yaoguang get along with each other in private.
To put it nicely, it's the hermit who doesn't know etiquette.
To put it bluntly, Yaoguang didn't take the emperor seriously at all. She never performed any formalities and her words didn't show enough respect.
On such an important occasion, the emperor would certainly not embarrass himself by bringing Yaoguang out for display. The only possibility was that if Yaoguang said something wrong, he would lose face.
Secondly, it would not be good if Yaoguang’s abilities were exploited by people with ulterior motives.
It’s better to keep some mystery.
Yaoguang came to the banquet today. Although the emperor was happy, he did not show it openly.
It was not until the banquet was halfway through that he ordered the eunuchs around him to take Yaoguang to his private storehouse to see the gifts that had been presented from all over the country.
The ladies at the banquet were moving around non-stop, and Yaoguang was not noticeable among them.
I went to a private warehouse and looked at the New Year gifts sent from all over the place.
Yaoguang picked up two stones and two pots of flowers, and was not very interested in the rest.
The eunuch waiting on the side packed up everything Yaoguang wanted according to the emperor's instructions, and would pack them up and send them away later.
The second prince, who had been searching for Yaoguang all night without success, was in a depressed mood and was walking towards his mother's palace.
As luck would have it, I bumped into Yaoguang who was walking towards me.
The second prince was already in a bad mood, and when he saw a eunuch and a person who looked like a palace maid passing by him, the palace maid refused to greet him.
How could there be such a maid in this palace?
The Second Prince immediately frowned and asked, "Which palace are you from? Why don't you greet me when you see me?"
Yaoguang: "I'm not from the palace."
If she is not from the palace, then she must be a servant girl from outside who doesn't know the rules?
Seeing that Yaoguang was not wearing any pearls or jade on her head, the Second Prince thought she was a maid brought back by another noble lady.
"How dare you! Go down and kneel on those steps." The second prince said angrily. As a prince, everyone had to give him some face no matter he was punishing a maid inside or outside the palace.
But Yaoguang just ignored him and continued walking forward.
The young eunuch following Yaoguang was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to reveal Yaoguang's identity to the second prince. These were all the emperor's orders.
The young eunuch could only anxiously say: "It's cold outside at night, Your Highness, please go back early. I will come to apologize to you another day."
"What a bunch of dogs." The second prince was so angry that he raised his foot to kick the eunuch in front of him.
But at the critical moment, Yaoguang suddenly turned around, grabbed the second prince's foot and pulled his foot slightly. The second prince lost his balance and fell to the ground, screaming in pain. One of his feet was still in Yaoguang's hand, which was very funny.
The young eunuch was ready to be kicked, but Yaoguang stood up for him. He was so scared that he said, "Miss, this... this, this is the Second Prince."
"What's wrong?" Yaoguang said calmly and gently let go of her hand.
"We were just walking peacefully, why did he rush up and hit someone?" Yaoguang did not understand this behavior. Even if the second prince was mentally ill, she felt that this could be used as an excuse.
While Yaoguang was talking to the young eunuch, the Second Prince on the other side stood up in anger!
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to tease him like this!
He immediately punched Yaoguang. He was going to teach this bitch a lesson today!
The second prince felt that the fall just now was just his mistake, because the little girl in front of him attacked him.
He has practiced martial arts and is tall and strong, how could he not be able to beat a little girl?
So he attacked Yaoguang without hesitation.
A moment later, the young eunuch was so frightened when he saw Yaoguang unilaterally beating the Second Prince that he quickly asked the people around him to call for help!
"Go and call His Majesty, go and call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
