Chapter 180: Encountering the Second Prince at the 8th Treasure House
After Shi Lidie made sure that her medical skills had been activated and there were no problems, she started the next step.
She left Huixiang to take care of the affairs of the tavern, and then took her maid Wen Tan to the Babaolou next door, and spent a lot of money to ask the owner to book a private room called "Lan Yue".
Shi Lidie ordered a large table of dishes, and then said to the waiter:
"Don't rush to serve the food yet. Wait until the Second Prince arrives."
The waiter responded and went out, closing the door of the box for her.
At this time, Wen Tan asked:
"What second prince? I've been following you, how come I didn't know you knew this second prince?"
"The Second Prince of Ye is also the most favorable competitor for the throne of Ye besides the Crown Prince." Shi Lidie said with a smile, "He comes to Babaolou for dinner on the third, thirteenth, and twenty-third day of every month."
"How do you know it so clearly?" Wen Tan asked curiously.
Of course, I saw it from the original storyline.
Shi Lidie said this in her heart, but she would not tell the reason out loud, she only said:
"Since I am going to be a spy in Ye State, I naturally have to do my homework on the princes. Some of the information I got myself, and some of it was given to me by His Majesty when I left Dayin."
Wen Tan understood, and then asked:
"So you want to start with the Second Prince and instigate a fight between him and the Crown Prince?"
"That's right." Shi Lidie nodded.
"But you don't know the second prince, and you didn't invite him in advance. How can he have dinner with you?" Wen Tan was puzzled.
"I did not invite him, but the waiter will bring him to the Lanyue box." Shi Lidie said, "What I said to the waiter just now will make him assume that the Second Prince and I have already made an appointment. He will directly bring the Second Prince to my place. Once the Second Prince comes in, won't we know each other?"
There is a disadvantage in making an appointment in advance. What if Ye Zhaonan’s people see them? How should she explain it?
But if we do it like this, even if Ye Zhaonan finds out, we can say it was an accidental encounter, or that the waiter took us to the wrong room, any explanation is possible.
About half an hour later, the waiter's voice came from the door:
"Second Prince, please come in."
Then, the door was opened and the second prince walked in from outside. However, he was surprised to see that there was already someone inside. He looked at Shi Lidie carefully and then spoke:
"You are...Princess Yun'an of Dayin?"
"It's me, His Royal Highness the Second Prince. It's better to meet by chance than to invite you. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea together?" Shi Lidie made an inviting gesture.
The second prince was indeed very interested in Shi Lidie.
This interest did not come from a man's interest in a woman, but simply because Shi Lidie was a princess married to a foreign country and the future Crown Princess.
It was said that in order to get her, Ye Zhaonan was even willing to give up the three border cities of the Dayin Dynasty that he had worked so hard to obtain. At that time, this incident caused a stir in the court of Ye State. Many people impeached the prince, saying that he was confused by love and ignored the overall situation for a woman, and was not worthy of being the crown prince.
This incident alone was enough to make the Second Prince interested in Shi Lidie.
He wanted to see what kind of woman could make his royal brother do this.
Then, the second prince waved to the waiter:
"Go down first and close the door."
The waiter left, and suddenly only Shi Lidie, the second prince, and her personal bodyguard Wen Tan were left in the box.
The second prince sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then spoke:
"In my opinion, my meeting with the princess today was not a coincidence, right? Was the princess waiting for me specially?"
"Your Highness the Second Prince is wise." Shi Lidie smiled, "I am indeed waiting here for Your Highness because I want to discuss a deal with Your Highness."
"Negotiation with me?" The second prince was curious. "Why don't you tell me about it?"
"I will help the second prince win the throne and ascend to the throne. Is that okay if the second prince marries me as his queen?" Shi Lidie asked.
After hearing this, the second prince laughed out loud:
"Princess, you are joking. You are my eldest brother's fiancée. If you marry him, you will be the queen sooner or later. Why do you need to make a deal with me?"
"No, I'm the prince's fiancée." Shi Lidie retorted, "But the position of prince is never fixed. Today it could be him, Ye Zhaonan, and tomorrow it could be you, Ye Jiayan. Only the final winner is worthy of marrying me."
The second prince, Ye Jiayan, looked at Shi Lidie solemnly for a while, then said:
"From what I know, my eldest brother, the crown prince, has deep feelings for you. Because you saved his life, he has been thinking about you for several years and even exchanged three cities for you."
"He is so affectionate, wouldn't it be better for you to marry him? Why did you come to me?"
"Then do you know that Ye Zhaonan found a substitute in his mansion who looks very similar to me?" Shi Lidie asked instead of answering.
"I have heard that the prince has been doting on a concubine for many years, but I never thought that she was actually the princess's substitute?" Ye Jiayan became curious, "What does this have to do with the substitute?"
Shi Lidie recalled the appearance of the female villains in the TV dramas she watched in her previous life and sneered:
"Your Highness, that's a good question. This has a lot to do with that stand-in."
"My people found out that the person Ye Zhaonan truly loves is not me at all, but that stand-in. Although he keeps saying that I am his white moonlight, he fell in love with the stand-in during these years of living with her day and night."
"This is an insult to me. Why should I compete with a substitute for a man's affection?"
"More importantly, I overheard their conspiracy. He wants to marry me into the mansion, squeeze out all the value in me, kill me, and let the substitute take my identity. This way, he can give an explanation to the Dayin Dynasty and stay with his beloved forever."
"Second Prince, if it were you, knowing that your future bedmate wanted to kill you, would you still be determined to marry him?"
"I am the princess of Dayin. No matter which prince of Ye State I marry, my status will not change. But the prince of your Ye State can rise to a higher position because of me."
"It depends on whether the Second Prince dares to make this deal with me."
Shi Lidie's survival rule: talk nonsense in a serious manner.
She could fool Ye Zhaonan in one way and Ye Jiayan in another. As long as she could make them believe her, she could make up anything.
More importantly, she was sure that the two brothers would not confront each other, because the original plot said that the struggle for succession in the royal family of Ye State was extremely brutal, and there was only hatred but no brotherhood between the brothers.
For the second prince, a princess who is beneficial to him and voluntarily surrenders is a good bargaining chip.
"What the princess said does make some sense." Ye Jiayan looked at her for a long while before speaking, "But you and I have never met before. This is our first meeting today. Why should I trust you?"
Shi Lidie seemed to have expected him to say this, so she said:
"I know Your Highness won't believe it easily, so why don't I show Your Highness some sincerity."
