After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

The Second Prince frowned and looked at Le An. Princess Le An quickly explained, "Yes, Changning, it was just that Master Cheng told me about an interesting opera he heard. Please don't misunderstand me."

She thought Princess Changning and the others, like the Second Prince, only heard the last point.

"Really?" The second prince looked at the two of them doubtfully.

Princess Changning laughed coldly and looked at the two of them sarcastically.

"Really! Second brother, do you want to listen to it too? This opera is not available in Kyoto. It is very interesting." Princess Le'an knew that the second prince hated listening to opera the most, so she said this deliberately.

As expected, the Second Prince said with disdain, "I don't care about that thing."

"I understand. You should be careful. You are already a grown woman. What if you are seen laughing and chatting with a man in a place like this and someone misunderstands you? This is just me and Changning. If your mother finds out, she will definitely scold you."

Le An had never been close to the Second Prince, but this time he acted like a spoiled child and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Second Prince. I'll definitely pay attention from now on."

After encountering such a disturbing thing, Princess Changning lost the mood to pick lotus flowers, and everyone returned to Furong Pavilion.

Afraid that Concubine Xian would discover Princess Changning's abnormality, several people went directly to Ye Qingyu and Ye Qingya's room.

Looking at the depressed Princess Changning, Ye Qingya and Lu Zhiyao were both at a loss. They looked at Ye Qingyu with eyes full of what to do.

Ye Qingyu's calm expression made Ye Qingya feel that something was wrong, but she was not in a position to ask her elder sister in this situation.

"Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Ye Qingyu's voice, Princess Changning seemed to have just come back to her senses and murmured to herself, "I don't know..."

Ye Qingya couldn't suppress her anger and said angrily, "That Master Cheng is so unbecoming. Does he still want to enjoy the blessing of having two wives?"

Lu Zhiyao hurriedly pulled Qingya's sleeve, signaling her not to say more, for fear that Princess Changning would be even more sad.

"Does His Highness still have feelings for Master Cheng?"

Ye Qingyu asked softly. After all, she had seen Princess Changning's expectations for Cheng Huaifeng, but she didn't know whether she could tell whether it was her affection for that man or her expectation of getting married and leaving the palace.

Thinking of what she saw today, her expression turned cold, "I feel sick just thinking about him!"

Ye Qingyu smiled and nodded, "If Your Highness no longer wants to marry Cheng Huaifeng, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities to cancel this marriage."

Chang Ning was stunned and thought for a moment, "But, after all, this is an imperial decree, how can it be so easy? Besides, if I really cancel the engagement, people will definitely talk about it. Father, will you be displeased?"

She suppressed her anger today and didn't make a big deal out of it because she was afraid that her father would be angry if he found out. Two princesses had a quarrel over a man, which was a disgrace to the royal family. People would definitely talk about it and mock her in secret.

Ye Qingyu soothed him, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. His Majesty is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, Cheng Huaifeng is greedy and wants more. He thinks the royal princess is just a piece of cabbage, and he can choose whatever he wants!"

Princess Changning was stunned and came to her senses.

Yes, her marriage with Cheng Huaifeng was originally agreed to by the Queen Mother after the old lady of the Duke of England begged her. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, do they want to cancel the engagement?

"Your Highness should tell His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu your thoughts."

Changning remained silent. She didn't want her brother to worry about her.

Ye Qingyu knew exactly what she was thinking and asked, "Your Highness, why do you think Cheng Huaifeng keeps expressing his feelings for Princess Le'an?"

Chang Ning bit her lip, her eyes filled with cold sadness, "He said today that he likes the Second Princess, and that his marriage to me was forced."

"wrong!"

Three people, three pairs of eyes, looked at Ye Qingyu in confusion.

Ye Qingyu sneered, "Love and affection are not the reason why Cheng Huaifeng pursues Princess Le'an. Master Cheng has great ambitions."

"Now, the Empress has passed away, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is no longer the Crown Prince, and with his legs crippled, he has no chance of ascending to the throne. How can the Chu line, with its current situation, revive the declining Duke of Yingguo Mansion and return it to its peak?"

After all, Lu Zhiyao was the daughter of Prime Minister Lu and had some understanding of the court disputes. She immediately understood what Ye Qingyu meant, "Does the Duke of Yingguo have high hopes for the eldest prince?"

Ye Qingyu looked at Lu Zhiyao with satisfaction and patiently explained to the other two, "Marrying Princess Le'an will naturally make you dependent on the eldest prince. If the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, the Duke of Ying's Mansion will be a meritorious official. It will not be difficult for him to continue to be a glorious official for three generations."

Princess Changning gritted her teeth, her pretty face as cold as ice. "So, they despise my brother for not being able to give them what they want. That's why my engagement with Cheng Huaifeng has become a stumbling block for them to lean towards my eldest brother!"

Ye Qingyu chuckled and said, "That's not the case. Whether he marries you or not, it won't prevent the Duke of Ying from standing on the side of the eldest prince. However, if he marries Princess Le'an, the relationship will be even closer. In-laws have always been the most reassuring bond since ancient times."

Princess Changning's face was filled with anger, "I am the princess who is marrying above my station!"

Ye Qingyu soothed him gently, "Your Highness, don't worry. Since the Duke of Yingguo has such intentions, Cheng Huaifeng will definitely look for opportunities to get close to Princess Le'an. If Your Highness wants to cancel the engagement, this is our chance!"

"I want to break off the marriage!"

"Okay, leave this matter to me and His Highness the Prince of Chu. Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much."

Chang Ning knew that this also involved his brother, so he stopped refusing and said, "I, I'll go talk to my brother myself."

A relieved smile flashed in Ye Qingyu's eyes, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Ye Qingyu accompanied Princess Changning to look for Shen Yanli. At this time, the atmosphere in the residence of the Duke of Ying and his family was depressing.

"How could you be so careless! How could Princess Changning discover you and Princess Le'an were together in the first place? If Princess Changning saw through your intentions and told His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu about this, our family would be in big trouble!"

Cheng Huaifeng knelt on the ground, his face dejected. "I, I don't know how the Second Prince and Princess Changning found us. That place is very secluded. I didn't know there was a hidden path next to the bamboo forest."

"Don't make excuses! You were just too careless, idiot!"

Seeing her eldest son being scolded by her husband and unable to raise his head, Lady Yingguo said distressedly, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Feng'er has been very careful. If you think Princess Le'an is better, just cancel the engagement with Princess Changning. Why make it so difficult for Feng'er?"

The Duke of Ying glared at his wife, Madam Meng, fiercely. "Foolish woman! What do you know? A marriage granted by the Emperor can be canceled at will! The King of Chu is not easy to offend!"

Meng shrank back and whispered weakly, "If Princess Changning finds out, won't we offend the King of Chu?"

"shut up!"

The Duke of Ying glared at Madam Meng fiercely and asked Cheng Huaifeng with a dark face, "Who else was there at the time?"
