"The prince went to Bu Mansion?" Xiao Changmin received the news right after Xiao Huayong left. He asked the subordinate who came to report, "Who did he take with him?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I only brought one eunuch and one guard." The subordinate replied respectfully.
Xiao Changmin seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he ordered, "Go and ask General Yu to come over."
Although Pingyao Hou is gone, Yu Xiang is still the general of Jingjiwei.
The subordinate responded and was about to leave when Xiao Changmin called him back, "Wait, let General Yu bring Madam Yu with him."
The last time he sacrificed the pawn to save the king and withdrew in time, it was Yu Sangning who told Yu Xiang, and Yu Xiang went to persuade Xiao Changmin, but Yu Xiang did not take the credit. He also hoped that his daughter would be looked up to by Xiao Changmin in the future, so he told Xiao Changmin the whole story.
Afterwards, she avoided a storm. Most of the things were just as Yu Sangning had expected. Xiao Changmin really admired Yu Sangning. The sons of the Xiao family did not look down on the girl's self-righteousness. They did not mention the heroines in the past, but only said that there would be one in the East Palace soon
Therefore, he was also willing to treat Yu Sangning as an adviser. The two would be married soon. Since Yu Sangning had such talent, why couldn't he give her more opportunities
Red silk was flying in the Zhao Palace, the residence of the Sixteenth Prince, indicating that a big wedding was approaching. Yu Sangning and Xiao Changmin were an engaged couple, and their wedding day was less than a month away, but Yu Xiang still asked Yu Sangning to dress up as a servant and follow him to the palace.
"Your Highness." The father and daughter greeted each other.
Xiao Changmin hurriedly gave him a fake hand and said, "General, there's no need to be polite. We will soon be a family."
As he said this, he winked at his confidant, asking him to send everyone away and close the door, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Yu Xiang's expression became serious: "If your Highness has any important matters, just give me the order."
Xiao Changmin smiled gently, "General, you are worrying too much. I have nothing to trouble you with, but I want to talk to someone about something. You and the second lady will be my close friends in the future, so I invited you to come here. Please take a seat, General and the second lady."
As he spoke, Xiao Changmin invited everyone to sit in front of the round wooden table, which was already filled with tea, dried fruits and pastries. Xiao Changmin wanted to pour the tea himself, but Yu Sangning took the lead: "In terms of seniority, it's my turn."
Xiao Changmin did not argue with her, but smiled at her, then looked at Yu Xiang politely: "General, I got a piece of news, Prince Bu is actually a girl."
Not knowing how shocked Yu Xiang was, even Yu Sangning's hands were shaking. Fortunately, she had excellent self-control and did not let the tea splash out. She quickly calmed down and handed the first cup of tea to Xiao Changmin.
She was able to stabilize herself quickly. Xiao Changmin praised her and took the tea bowl with both hands.
"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. Is the news credible?" Yu Xiang quickly came back to his senses and asked solemnly.
"The source of the news is credible. This person will never lie to the prince. It's just that... he is only 70% to 80% sure that Master Bu is a girl. He is not sure." Xiao Changmin certainly would not tell Yu Xiang about his brothel. "These days, the prince has secretly sent people to investigate Master Bu, but still found nothing."
"If Prince Bu is really a girl, she has grown up under your Majesty's nose for so many years, it is impossible for her to hide it so well." Yu Xiang still had some doubts.
