Chapter 212 Xiao Yunxi's Lover
I hadn't seen this at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Perhaps her arrival changed many things.
Xiao Yunxi felt a little annoyed when she noticed Qin Wanying staring at her.
She already disliked the people from the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, so she said irritably, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Jiye frowned and said to Xiao Yunxi, "Yunxi, Wanying is a distinguished guest of my household. You must not be rude."
Xiao Yunxi was still somewhat wary of this crown prince, so she composed herself and replied, "Yes."
Qin Wanying said, "Your Highness, I know a little about fortune telling. May I tell your fortune?"
Xiao Yunxi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Isn't Qin Wanying the second daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei? How come she can tell fortunes?
However, with both she and the Crown Prince present, she wouldn't dare to lie.
Xiao Yunxi looked up at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince smiled at her: "Yunxi, Wanying's divination is very accurate. It is a fortunate thing to have Wanying's divination today."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunxi became even more curious.
What level of skill does someone possess that would earn such high praise from the Crown Prince?
"Okay, go ahead and calculate it," Xiao Yunxi said. "Should I give you your birth date and time?"
Qin Wanying smiled slightly; she couldn't understand that stuff at all.
"No need, nothing is required."
Xiao Yunxi was even more surprised.
What kind of fortune teller doesn't use birth date and time? That's outrageous!
Is he truly a master, or a fraud?
Qin Wanying turned to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, there are some matters concerning women's private affairs. May I speak with the Fifth Princess alone?"
The crown prince paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright."
After saying this, he left the guest hall with all his servants.
Xiao Yunxi stared at Qin Wanying, wondering what she was going to say.
"Your Highness is currently facing a romantic entanglement," Qin Wanying said calmly.
Xiao Yunxi's pupils dilated.
Peach Blossom...A Calamity?
She knew she was destined to be involved in romantic entanglements, but she never imagined it would turn into a calamity.
"Tell me more," Xiao Yunxi said, taking a sip of tea.
"Your Highness recently met a man. You first met this man in a teahouse. He deliberately came over to chat with you, and you felt that you had known each other for a long time."
Xiao Yunxi's mouth dropped open.
For a moment, Xiao Yunxi was even a little dazed.
She even began to suspect that Qin Wanying had sent someone to spy on her.
On second thought, Qin Wanying was just the daughter of a marquis, and she had been living in the Crown Prince's residence these days. How could he possibly send someone to monitor her?
However, Qin Wanying actually knew so much!
If it was calculated, Qin Wanying's calculations are incredibly accurate!
Princesses are not allowed to leave the palace at will. The reason she left the palace that time was to attend a poetry gathering outside the palace.
She really wanted to go out of the palace, so she pretended to be sick at the poetry gathering and went to rest. In reality, she secretly slipped away, changed her clothes, strolled around the market, and finally sneaked into a teahouse.
In that teahouse, she saw Ge Jiayou. He was handsome, elegant, and had a scholarly air about him. She immediately took a liking to him.
The two chatted in the teahouse. Xiao Yunxi saw that Ge Jiayou was knowledgeable and talented, and she couldn't help but secretly fall in love with him.
She didn't tell Ge Jiayou that she was a princess, thinking that if she did, it might affect their relationship.
Since Xiao Yunxi couldn't leave the palace often, she asked Ge Jiayou for his address, thinking she would come to find him whenever she left the palace.
Xiao Yunxi would secretly run out to see Ge Jiayou whenever there was a poetry gathering or temple fair.
Among the princesses, only Xiao Yunxi dared to do this because she relied on the emperor's favor.
During their last meeting, Ge Jiayou expressed his affection for Wang Moyai, and Xiao Yunxi thought of getting an authentic work by Wang Moyai to give to her lover.
"But Your Highness, what you don't know is that this person has been deceiving you all along," Qin Wanying continued.
“Lies to me? Impossible! How could Ge Lang lie to me!” Xiao Yunxi blurted out, her breathing becoming rapid.
"I swear on my life that everything I have said is true, without a single falsehood," Qin Wanying said solemnly.
"Then tell me, how did Ge Lang deceive this princess?" Xiao Yunxi asked hurriedly. "If you can't give a reasonable explanation, this princess will definitely hold you accountable!"
Qin Wanying spoke calmly and slowly: "This man actually has a wife and daughter. He once falsely accused his wife of having an affair with another man, and as a result, his wife was drowned in a pig cage."
"He was also a gambler; he even sold his daughter to pay off his gambling debts."
“He approached Your Highness because he thought you were a noblewoman from a wealthy family and wanted your money.”
Xiao Yunxi shook her head: "Impossible, this is impossible!"
Ge Lang clearly loves her, how could he be a liar? He already has a wife and daughter, why would he lie to her?
And such an inhuman person!
Moreover, she did give Ge Jiayou some valuable items...
Xiao Yunxi grew up in the palace and had never met anyone she liked.
This was the first time in her life that she had truly fallen in love with a man.
When she was lost in thought, all she could think about was Ge Jiayou; she even dreamed about him at night.
Whenever she was in the palace, she would lose her appetite and long for the day she could go out and see Ge Jiayou.
Every time we meet, I'm so happy that I can't sleep for several nights.
Ge Jiayou came from a humble background, and she felt that her father would not allow them to be together. She even thought about eloping with Ge Lang to another country.
But now, Qin Wanying tells her that Ge Lang, whom she has been longing for day and night, is a liar. He was only with her for her money.
If it were true, Xiao Yunxi would rather die!
"Do you know what the consequences are for deceiving this princess?" Xiao Yunxi still couldn't believe it; she would rather Qin Wanying had lied to her.
"If I have uttered even the slightest falsehood, Your Highness may decide my fate," Qin Wanying said. "This man's background is not difficult to investigate. His hometown is in Yuanzhou, and his past can be easily found out."
After Qin Wanying finished speaking, Xiao Yunxi was already more than half convinced.
A normal person wouldn't risk their head just to fool her.
She felt her hands and feet were ice cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Qin Wanying felt a pang of pity seeing her pale face.
She knew that Xiao Yunxi loved Ge Jiayou to death.
However, I still decided to tell her what was next: "This man has seduced other women besides you."
"You agree to meet this person in three days. On that day, go to the teahouse where you met half an hour in advance and keep an eye on things. You will definitely see him being intimate with another woman."
Xiao Yunxi's face turned ashen, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Ge Jiayou actually seduced other women?
And what about me? What am I then?
Xiao Yunxi left, her face pale.
He bowed to the Crown Prince as he left.
The Crown Prince was somewhat surprised to see her pale face, wondering what Qin Wanying had said to her.
Suddenly remembering that Xiao Yunxi hadn't received the original, he reminded her.
Xiao Yunxi accepted Wang Moya's original calligraphy, gave the Crown Prince a bitter smile, and then walked away absentmindedly.
She decided to investigate her lover thoroughly to see if he was really as Qin Wanying had described.
