Chapter 240: The meeting failed
Ruan Wanwan didn't expect Bei Liangye to say that, so she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Bei Liangye curiously.
Bei Liangye naturally felt Ruan Wanwan's gaze. He turned around, looked at Ruan Wanwan, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Wanwan shook his head: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to say that, so I'm a little surprised."
"I wonder what happened to my princess?" Beiliangye said to her funny.
"I didn't know who ordered me to do this or that before." Ruan Wanwan stabbed him slightly.
Bei Liangye naturally knew that she was a little dissatisfied because she had left all the matters in the prince's house to Ruan Wanwan.
In addition, I am going out to attend a banquet now, and something like this will happen. It is so stressful, and it is normal to be unhappy.
Bei Liangye quickly took a few steps forward and held Ruan Wanwan in his arms, comforting him in a low voice: "Isn't it time for me to come back and help you solve these things?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. You don't have to worry too much. Just stay in the house and take good care of yourself. Wait for me to come back."
When Ruan Wanwan heard what he said, most of her anger was gone, so she nodded obediently, nestled in his arms, and enjoyed this rare warmth.
Then Ruan Wanwan left and returned to her room, leaving Bei Liangye alone in the study and letting him do his own thing. After all, Bei Liangye was also a prince, so she could rest assured that she didn't need to say anything.
Bei Liangye watched Ruan Wanwan leave, with her warmth still in his arms.
He shook hands and began to think about the news Ruan Wanwan had told him.
So Bei Liangye walked behind the table, sat down, and wrote a letter to the prince.
"Your Majesty, someone from the Prince's Mansion has sent a letter. Please read it!" A guard in the Fifth Prince's Mansion handed the letter to the Fifth Prince.
"What? A letter sent by someone from the prince's residence?" The fifth prince was a little surprised when he heard this. He had not had any contact with Bei Liangye recently, so how could he receive a letter from the prince?
He took the letter in a delicate paper envelope from the attendant in surprise, dismissed everyone, returned to the study table, and opened the envelope.
The words that Bei Liangye read on the back of the paper came into focus. The Fifth Prince skimmed it for a while, and the general content was that after the court tomorrow, I would like to have a chat with him in a restaurant.
The letter did not clearly state what the purpose of the meeting was, but the relationship between the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion had always been mediocre, neither good nor bad.
Maybe it's not a bad thing, but just an ordinary desire to discuss, right? The fifth prince didn't dare to confirm, so he made a guess and comforted himself. If this was the case, then it wouldn't hurt to go and see him for this meeting.
Then he picked up a pen and wrote a reply, and ordered the book boy next to him to send it to the prince's residence, which was a reply to Bei Liangye.
Bei Liangye knew that the Fifth Prince would come to keep the appointment, so he sent the letter out, and then sat leisurely in the study drinking tea, waiting for the Fifth Prince's reply.
Sure enough, a while after the letter was delivered to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, his book boy outside immediately walked in quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, this is your reply from the Fifth Prince."
"Leave it alone, I'll take a look at it later." Bei Liangye said casually.
The bookboy came quickly, placed it respectfully on the fine nanmu table, and then left.
Bei Liangye gently clasped his fingers on the table, thinking about his meeting with the Fifth Prince tomorrow.
Time passed quickly and it was after court the next day.
The Fifth Prince was the first to arrive at the place agreed upon with Bei Liangye, which was the best restaurant in the capital - Zhaixiang Pavilion.
Zhaixiangge is famous for its delicious food and wine, and its service attitude is as outstanding as the scenery upstairs.
From the private room upstairs, you can directly overlook the river that runs through the capital. The river is sparkling, there are many boats, and the river is full of people and very lively.
It was not good for Beiliangye to appear in the same place with the Fifth Prince, as that would arouse suspicion, so he delayed for a while before going to Zhaixiang Pavilion.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Bei Liangye: "Oh? Isn't this the Crown Prince? What a coincidence?"
When Beiliangye heard this voice, he thought it was not good. He was afraid that the meeting with the fifth prince would have to go through some twists and turns.
He turned around, and it turned out to be the Sixth Prince. Although Bei Liangye understood in his heart, he still pretended to have just discovered it: "The Sixth Prince is here too?"
"No, I'm a regular customer of Zhaixiang Pavilion. Has the prince made an appointment with someone? Do you mind taking me to meet him?" The sixth prince said nonchalantly.
Bei Liangye frowned, but soon returned to normal. He slowly refused: "I'm afraid it's not convenient today. If there is a chance, I will introduce it to you next time."
The Sixth Prince sighed deeply, looking very regretful, and said, "Well, you guys have a good time, and I will leave first."
Seeing him like this, Bei Liangye felt relieved and went to the private room he had reserved earlier.
What he didn't know was that the Sixth Prince, who had already gone downstairs, secretly remembered the location of Yajian and made up his mind to go to Beiliangye for a "surprise".
Bei Liangye had just entered the house and was about to discuss it with the Fifth Prince when suddenly there was a knock on the door. The person outside the house did not even ask for advice and went straight into the house.
"Oh, I asked which friend the prince was meeting with. It turned out to be the fifth brother. Really, I'm interrupting you. Let's go now."
When the fifth prince saw the sixth prince coming in, he was very angry. What did the prince do to expose this matter? How should he deal with it now?
He made a serious note in his mind, snorted coldly, said nothing, left a table of delicious food, turned around and left.
Bei Liangye was also angry because he didn't expect the Sixth Prince to be so unreasonable.
"What on earth is wrong with you that keeps pestering me?"
"Prince, please don't be angry. I just want to ask how your smart princess is doing. Didn't she have a miscarriage not long ago? Oh, she is really miserable."
The Sixth Prince said angrily, poking at Bei Liangye's pain point.
"That's my king's concubine, what does it have to do with you?" Bei Liangye shouted.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I just asked. If the prince doesn't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, I will have plenty of time to ask Ruan Wanwan when I meet her next time."
"You!" Bei Liangye felt that his things were coveted by others, and his heart was filled with unknown anger, and his face turned cold.
But Bei Liangye calmed down immediately and said nonchalantly: "Then you can ask her next time. I always like to let her go out to relax, just so she can meet her friends."
The Sixth Prince could naturally hear his sarcasm, but he smiled indifferently, turned around and left.
Bei Liangye suppressed his anger over the failure of the meeting and being provoked, and returned to his mansion. The first thing he did after getting off the carriage was to go to Ruan Wanwan's house.
Ruan Wanwan went somewhere unknown, and there was no one in the house.
There was only one maid quietly doing the cleaning work.
