C147 – He Didn’t Know What to Say

“I called Crown Princess here today mainly for Ya’er’s marriage. I hope Your Highness can forgive me.” Yueyang Marquis cupped his hands and said.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“Lord Marquis, there is no need to be polite. Since we have become in-laws, we are naturally a family. You can discuss anything with Crown Princess.”

“Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness!” Logically speaking, a married daughter would rarely return to her mother’s house other than celebrating the new year. As a male concubine, Tang Yue should avoid being exposed.

Tang Yue lived in an age of information, and all kinds of public opinion flooded his life. Therefore, he did not mind human speech. In his opinion, he did not intend to accept the restrictions of this society.

“Father, was State Duke Heng the one who brought up the marriage of his sister?”

“Yes. In fact, State Duke Heng has already mentioned it to my father several times. It’s just that I can’t bear to part with my son. At least let her pass the year.”

Tang Yue nodded. “That should be the case. Is there anything that I don’t know about?” Calling him back for a discussion was probably because he really had something to ask him.

Yueyang Marquis glanced at Crown Prince Zhao and coughed. Tang Yue blinked his eyes and stared at Crown Prince Zhao for a few seconds.

Crown Prince Zhao raised his eyebrows and stood up. “I heard that Crown Princess designed a playground in the mansion. I want to go and take a look.”

“Yes, I do. This official will let the butler take you there.” Yueyang Marquis did not feel guilty about chasing them away. He generously dismissed them.

“Wait. When Crown Prince Zhao left, Tang Yue asked with a smile, Father, what do you want to ask me?”

Yueyang Marquis asked him to sit closer. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that it’s not good to speak with His Highness.”

Tang Yue waited for him to continue. Yueyang Marquis glanced at Marquis’s Wife and said, “You know, State Duke Heng is one of the seven High Dukes. He has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. Now that we are closely tied to Crown Prince Zhao, if we are to marry into State Duke Heng’s Mansion, this... His Majesty has become more and more suspicious in recent years. He is afraid that the situation will not be good.”

“But this marriage has long been decided. It can’t be changed even if you want to, right?” Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort to change Noble Heir of State Duke Heng so that Tang Ya could marry more comfortably.

Moreover, based on his experience of getting along peacefully, this child was not bad. As long as there was guidance, there was discipline. He would definitely not go down the wrong path again.

“That’s right. It was originally a good thing, but my father was worried that he would become a thorn in the king’s heart, fearing Crown Prince.”

“Then why didn’t you tell him about it in front of Crown Prince just now? Don’t you want to hear his opinion?”

Yueyang Marquis glared at him. “What if His Highness doesn’t agree to this marriage?” How could he bear such a good son-in-law?

Marquis’s Wife had been sitting quietly all this time. Only now did she speak slowly, “Yue’er, we all see how good you are to Ya’er. Why don’t you tell His Highness about the powerful relationship and let him be mentally prepared first.”

“Madam, the marriage between Marquis’s Mansion and State Duke Heng’s Mansion has not just happened. His Highness must know about it. If he wanted to object, he would have opposed it long ago. Besides, he doesn’t seem to have the right to oppose it, does he?”

If all seven of his younger sisters needed Crown Prince Zhao’s approval to get married, wouldn’t he be exhausted to death?

Crown Prince Zhao thought the same thing at first, but no matter how he looked at it, Tang Yue, whom he knew, and the report that he found out about the orphan who lived in hardship at the border had changed too much. It was hard to imagine that they were the same person.

Moreover, his name was not Tang Yue at that time.

“Then did Master Hou give him his name?”

“No, young dandy’s name is... His birth mother gave it to him.” The butler lowered his head even lower. Tang Yue’s birth mother was from North Yue, but they had to hide this matter.

Even if a few people knew about it, they didn’t dare to spread it.

A child born by a woman from North Yue was not qualified to inherit the title, let alone marry Crown Prince.

“Why did I hear that his name was not this when he was at the border, but...”

Before Crown Prince Zhao could finish his sentence, the butler knelt down and replied, “Your Highness, please forgive me for my humble status. There are very few things that I know. You... you...”

“Get up. Why are you so nervous? I just want to ask around and want to know more about Crown Princess’s life.”

The butler secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Yes, yes. I am just... too nervous.”

“Get up and bring me around. I heard that there are many things in the residence that were modified after Crown Princess came. Bring me there to take a look.”

“Yes.”

Crown Prince Zhao turned around and walked out of Tang Yue’s house. He saw four maids walking towards him gracefully. They were shocked when they saw an outsider, and then they all kneeled on the ground in unison. “This servant greets Crown Prince.”

“Raise your head.”

The four maids didn’t dare to disobey. They obediently raised their heads, revealing the faces of the four girls.

These four maids were chosen by Marquis’s Wife for Tang Yue back then. The purpose was very clear. They wanted to use their beauty to confuse Tang Yue’s mind. It was best to make him lose his mind due to lust.

“What a pity.” Crown Prince Zhao sighed, then left them and walked out of the courtyard.

The housekeeper quickly followed him. He secretly thought about the meaning of the word “pity.” Was His Highness regretting that the four maids were left idle in the courtyard, or was it a pity that their looks could only be reduced to servants?

What if Crown Prince took a fancy to them? Then... I wonder what young dandy will think in his heart.

Should he report this to young dandy? The butler hesitated for a while, but decided not to say anything. This is the wedding of Yan-er. Why should he be unhappy over such a small matter?

After leading Crown Prince Zhao around the manor aimlessly, the butler pointed out all the places that Tang Yue had remodeled to him, like a kitchen stove, spades and water bottles in the garden, lanterns hanging in the corridor, tables, chairs and cupboards in the house, and other things that had seeped into life.

The butler sighed inwardly. So this house had been gradually transformed by young dandy. It looked small, but it made their lives more convenient bit by bit.
