Chapter 79 Keeping an Appointment
The next day, Qi Binwei received the emperor's marriage decree, agreeing that he could marry Chao Yan as his concubine.
As soon as this decree was issued, the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar, and everyone knew that the fifth prince had a concubine.
At the same time, some people also spread the news that Chao Yan was just a country woman and was not a match for Qi Binwei, and that Qi Binwei was just coveting her beauty.
Qi Binwei found the news brought by his men ridiculous. He knew without thinking that the news was released by his good brothers, and the prince was the most suspicious among them.
But the prince was not smart enough to think of so many things for the time being, and there were other people who added fuel to the fire.
Later, someone spread the news that the Fifth Prince was corrupt and although he seemed to have only one concubine, Chaoyan, he actually kept many women in his mansion for his pleasure. It was a pity that Chaoyan was kept in the dark.
Qi Binwei just chuckled after reading it. These things were not enough to shake him. If Chaoyan cared about her reputation, she would not agree to be with him. After all, he had no reputation in Kyoto.
There were also other news mixed in, all of which were gossips about men and women.
For example, the third prince is interested in the daughter of the prime minister, and asks the daughter of the prime minister if she has a lover...
Qi Binwei didn't care.
"There's no need to suppress the news. Just let these people go. It won't have any impact on me. As long as Chaoyan stays by my side, it'll be fine." Qi Binwei waved his hand and let his men go.
He had other things to do these days, and these little things were forgotten in the blink of an eye.
Qi Binwei still did what he was supposed to do as before, paying no attention to the rumors. Occasionally, he would accompany Chao Yan out of the house in disguise and take her out for fun.
The common people have sharp eyes, and they can tell at a glance that the couple is living a good life.
Those rumors were proven false.
Wen Xiangzhu proceeded at his own pace. Three days ago, Qi Rui asked him to investigate Chao Yan's affairs, and he was not in a hurry at all.
Long before he went to find Qi Rui, he had already secretly investigated Chao Yan for several rounds. Now he could recite everything by heart, but he knew that what he had originally investigated was not true at all, so it didn't matter whether it was concealed or not.
Qi Binwei is a smart man. After learning Chao Yan's identity, he immediately asked people to take action to create a fake identity for Chao Yan.
Chao Yan's fake identity was much more realistic than the one he made for Shen Jiayu and the others. If he didn't have some knowledge about the Kongsang tribe, he would probably have been fooled by this information.
Therefore, it is not important for Qi Rui to receive these false information.
After Qi Rui finished reading the information, he asked in confusion: "What do you think?"
Wen Xiangzhu stood aside respectfully, "It's very real. At first I thought it was fake, so I mobilized the people you gave me to check it four or five times, using various methods, and the results were all similar. This information is real."
Of course, the answers were all similar, because the people in that area were all Qi Binwei's men in disguise. The time Chao Yan had been away from the mountain was the same as the time the people around him had been replaced.
Qi Rui did not completely trust Wen Xiangzhu. He had been secretly investigating for the past three days, and his findings were no different from what Wen Xiangzhu had found. What Wen Xiangzhu said was also very sincere.
There was no sign of deception, Qi Rui smiled and said, "Well, you did a good job, I understand, go down."
But he still did not ask to keep Wen Xiangzhu as his aide in the mansion. Wen Xiangzhu was not upset, because the thing he lacked the least was patience.
On the other hand, Gongsun Rou was always keeping an eye on the Fifth Prince's Mansion. As soon as Chao Yan left the mansion, she would follow him and have various encounters with Chao Yan.
But every time Chaoyan went out, Qi Binwei would accompany her. Gongsun Rou had no chance to get close to Chaoyan and could only watch her from afar every time.
It's early June and the weather has started to get hot.
Qi Binwei promised Chaoyan that they would go out and play in the water, just for one day.
Chaoyan could already recognize most of the Yunli characters. When she couldn't go out, she would occasionally write letters to Shen Jiayu.
Shen Jiayu had gained weight in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but these words were not easily memorized. He could only remember some of them with the help of Luqi's daily recitation.
Now I can have a few conversations with Chaogao, but I still make mistakes in writing characters occasionally.
Two people of similar abilities can recognize what the other person is writing, and the communication is relatively smooth.
"Cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo--"
The carrier pigeon from the Fifth Prince's Mansion flew to Song Qinghong's courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion with ease and landed steadily in Shen Jiayu's room.
Shen Jiayu took the letter off the pigeon's leg and slowly unfolded it.
[Jiayu, we are going to play in the canal tomorrow. Would you like to go with us?]
"The Fifth Emperor's concubine has sent another letter?" Song Qinghong smiled. She was no longer surprised.
On the day they returned from the banquet, Shen Jiayu told her the whole process of his acquaintance with Chao Yan. She was very happy that Shen Jiayu could tell her all these things.
Later, Shen Jiayu received a letter from Chaoyan. She was illiterate, so Luqi read it to her. Slowly, after Luqi taught her little by little, she was able to understand some words.
Now she can recognize all these words.
"Well, he said he was going to the canal to play in the water tomorrow and wanted to take me with him. Sister Song, please give me a day off tomorrow. I'll be back soon." Shen Jiayu nodded, put the note away and put it in the box.
She wanted to take Song Qinghong with her, but when she thought about what happened between Song Qinghong and Qi Binwei, she felt a little embarrassed.
I might as well go alone.
Unexpectedly, Song Qinghong whispered, "I also received a letter from the Fifth Emperor's concubine."
Shen Jiayu dropped his jaw in shock, "Ah? Was it delivered today?"
No, when did they get together? Why doesn’t she have any recollection of it?
Song Qinghong nodded. "It was sent today. You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either. The Fifth Emperor's concubine would actually invite me to go with her. I guess she was afraid that if I didn't give you a day off, she wouldn't be able to see you."
Shen Jiayu smiled, thinking this was unlikely, and shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible, how could it be such a reason?"
"Let's go together tomorrow. You can't take this day off." Song Qinghong said. Seeing Shen Jiayu's worry, she added, "Don't worry about me. I'm much better now."
"I'm glad you think so." Shen Jiayu felt relieved.
Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.
Shen Jiayu wrote down everything that happened in recent days. Since she didn't know how to write it, she just drew it. She has been using this method to send messages to Wen Xiangzhu recently.
Wen Xiangzhu had no objection, which meant that either Shen Yi or Shen Qinghe could understand it. She just had to write and the rest would depend on them.
The next morning, Song Qinghong dressed up, informed Song Yuanbai and her father and mother, and left home to keep the appointment.
