Chapter 149 Prince Jing's Ugly Appearance
Upon hearing Jixiang's analysis, Yueying suddenly understood as if struck by lightning, and immediately gave Jixiang a thumbs up, "I get it, brother, you're amazing!"
Then strange things started happening.
Previously, Zheng Guang's men had tried their best to find out anything about Prince Jing, but recently, whether it was because he had more men or something else, news about Prince Jing had suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
After gathering enough intelligence, Zheng Guang met with Jiang Yuyue at a teahouse.
“Miss, according to the information reported by our subordinates, Prince Jing was able to compose poetry at the age of three and tame wild horses at the age of five. The late emperor valued his youngest son very much. Later, Prince Jing led troops to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and has never been defeated.”
Zheng Guang continued, "Moreover, Prince Jing is quite prestigious among the people, and they all praise him highly. However, Prince Jing has quite a few political enemies in the court, but I reckon that these people are hostile to Prince Jing because of their own positions."
Jiang Yuyue was taken aback by these words. Was Prince Jing really that capable?
Composing poetry at the age of three and taming horses at the age of five, it would be no exaggeration to call Prince Jing a prodigy.
“There’s some other news as well.”
Zheng Guang scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up, "Although this information is probably not very relevant to what you want to investigate, I'll tell you anyway."
"It is said that Prince Jing is not only a rare talent in both literature and martial arts, but also a handsome man whose looks are so striking that even the gods would be angry. Every girl in the capital who has seen him claims that she will marry no one but him. Even the daughter of the current prime minister, Li Xiang, has not been spared. She is so infatuated with Prince Jing that she has not yet proposed marriage, which has worried Prime Minister Li to no end."
Of course, the exaggerated information above was released by Yueying after being "slightly" embellished. After receiving Jixiang's advice, he felt that since he wanted to show Miss Jiang how good his prince was, he had to put in his best effort to perform!
After hearing Zheng Guang's description, Jiang Yuyue really felt that Prince Jing was not very genuine. Although she was not very interested in his gossip, hearing such a description made her quite curious about what Prince Jing looked like.
Just how handsome is he? Can he be better looking than Xie Jinglan?
Thinking about it that way, I lost interest.
"You don't need to tell me these unimportant things anymore."
Jiang Yuyue wasn't interested in this. "Manager Zheng, let's focus on investigating his whereabouts from now on."
Hearing this, Zheng Guang awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Yes!"
Back home, even at the dinner table, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but ponder the veracity of the story that Prince Jing composed a poem at the age of three and tamed a horse at the age of five.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Xie Jinglan tapped the table twice. "Something on your mind? Why are you looking away while eating?"
"It's not that I have anything on my mind."
Jiang Yuyue pondered the matter of Prince Jing and felt it was rather unrealistic, so she asked him, "Do you really think anyone can write poetry at the age of three and tame a wild horse at the age of five?"
The question was rather strange, and Xie Jinglan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"nothing."
Jiang Yuyue said casually, "I just heard some rumors."
Upon hearing this, Jixiang's back suddenly stiffened. He remembered the question that Riyueying had asked him. Although he had said to try to put things in a positive light, could that idiot Riyueying have exaggerated to this extent?!
Xie Jinglan was completely unaware of Yueying's embellishment and didn't even think about it. He simply said indifferently, "I don't know if there is such a person or not. I only know that I have never seen such a divine being before."
"That's what I was saying too."
Jiang Yuyue agreed, and her impression of Prince Jing changed a bit. She figured the rumors were exaggerated. No wonder he was always so mysterious and never showed his face. He probably wasn't as handsome as the rumors said. Maybe he was so ugly that he made up so many exaggerated rumors to satisfy himself.
A few days later, Xie Jinglan summoned Yueying and inquired about the progress of the matter.
"Is she still investigating my whereabouts?"
"Yes."
Yueying nodded. "As you wished, some harmless information was released before, but Miss Jiang has been investigating your whereabouts."
Jixiang stood by, her expression tense, afraid that Yueying might accidentally let slip the news that "he could compose poetry at the age of three and tame horses at the age of five." Although their prince was indeed a genius, such a description was really too exaggerated.
Xie Jinglan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Since she is still investigating, let's release the news that I am at Wanfu Temple on the outskirts of Jinling."
Yueying and Jixiang exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing the purpose of their lord's actions. However, they were never one to speak out of turn, and Yueying withdrew after receiving the order.
Such news naturally and accurately reached the ears of Zheng Guang's men.
Wanfu Temple?
Jiang Yuyue was surprised that Zheng Guang was able to find out about Prince Jing's whereabouts so quickly. Looking at the letter he sent, she was really surprised that Prince Jing had reappeared in Jinling City.
Or did he never leave at all?
Jiang Yuyue pondered. Wanfu Temple was not a famous temple. Even the people of Jinling City rarely knew that there was such a small temple. What was Prince Jing doing in such a place?
However, now that news has arrived, Jiang Yuyue will not easily let go of such an opportunity to meet Prince Jing.
In her previous life, Xie Yunqi returned to Jinling two years after the news of his death. Coincidentally, when he returned, there were rumors that Emperor Rende had passed away. However, because Jinling was some distance from the capital, and because ordinary people like them were not well informed, Jiang Yuyue did not know who the successor was until she was murdered.
Even if the emperor usually has sons, and the princes are old enough to handle affairs, there is absolutely no reason for an imperial uncle to inherit the throne.
However, given Prince Jing's special status and considerable influence in the court, he might indeed be the one to inherit the throne.
If Prince Jing really is the future emperor, then Jiang Yuyue must get on his good side. Even if, hypothetically, Prince Jing is not the one who will ascend the throne, the current situation is urgent, and she has no choice but to choose him.
After all, the only royal people Jiang Yuyue could come into contact with were Prince Ning and his sister, and Prince Jing, who had just heard the news. Prince Ning was extremely lecherous and was in cahoots with Xie Yunqi, so Jiang Yuyue would never join their camp. Therefore, she could only make the decision to test Prince Jing first.
