Leaving aside the fact that discussing men outside the palace is forbidden, even the First Prince Suo Tu from beyond the Great Wall isn’t as good as they claim. Simply put, most people in the Great Zhou Dynasty look down on the barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall, even if he’s the First Prince.
But these palace maids actually kept praising Suo Tu at every turn and even gossiped about him when the Ninth Princess passed by. What were their intentions?!
After hearing Yan Fei’s words, Mu Yunge seemed curious and asked, “Judging from their tone, that First Prince seems quite good? Call them over, I want to ask about him.”
Seeing that Mu Yunge was still interested, Yan Fei nodded. Then he gave the group a cold glance and said to a eunuch, “Call them over. The Ninth Princess has some questions for them.”
Hearing this, the eunuch immediately nodded and went to fetch the palace maids.
The palace maids seemed startled upon hearing that the Ninth Princess was nearby, but they quickly followed.
“This servant greets the Ninth Princess. May the Ninth Princess be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace.”
“Rise! The First Prince you were just talking about, is he the barbarian prince?” Mu Yunge asked.
Upon hearing this, the palace maids immediately nodded: “Yes, Your Highness.”
“Have you seen him?” Mu Yunge asked.
Hearing this, the maids all quickly shook their heads.
“This servant has never seen him, only heard about him.”
“Heard about him?” Mu Yunge narrowed her eyes.
“You can even make something out of what you’ve heard seem so convincing? If he’s really that good, then this Princess will ask Father to bestow you all upon Suo Tu as his concubines. Wouldn’t that be alright?! It would be a way to fulfill your love and affections.” Mu Yunge said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the palace maids panicked and immediately kowtowed, begging for forgiveness: “No, we had no such improper thoughts! Please forgive us, Ninth Princess! We will never dare to discuss this in private again!”
Seeing their flustered appearance, Mu Yunge said innocently, “Unwilling? Why? Isn’t the First Prince perfectly fine? I granted your request, and instead of being grateful, you’re begging for forgiveness. Xiao Xi, what kind of logic is this?”
Hearing this, Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked coldly at the palace maids and said, “This only shows that the prince of the barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall is far from the man they are talking about. Otherwise, what woman would be willing to give up such a good husband and refuse Your Highness’s kindness? The opportunity to rise to the top is not something they would easily give up.”
Mu Yunge listened with a look of sudden realization and said, “Oh.”
Then she looked coldly at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and said, “So, they all know that the barbarian prince is no good at all, but they know the truth and still gossip about it when I pass by. Xiao Xi, what do you think their intentions are?”
Hearing Mu Yunge’s words, Yan Fei immediately understood that she had already seen through their tricks.
With a smile in her eyes, Yan Fei softly said to Mu Yunge, “Leave it to this servant. I’ll find out soon.”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge nodded lightly: “Yes, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Yan Fei was pleased with her trusting attitude and nodded immediately.
Dare to use such methods to seduce the Princess in front of him?
Ha! They’re asking for trouble!
Yan Fei investigated, and the matter quickly led back to Zi Ling.
Zi Ling naturally denied it outright, saying that she had only said that the barbarians beyond the Great Wall were crude and uncouth and that she had never said anything about the barbarian prince being heroic and extraordinary.
Yan Fei had no evidence and naturally couldn’t do anything to Zi Ling, but in his heart, he already regarded Zi Ling as someone he needed to be wary of. His love point for her also dropped to -90, which meant he loathed her to the extreme.
