Chapter 566 Waiting in the Flower Hall
After hearing what his father said, Xie Yunzhou slowly calmed down. He also knew that he was impulsive.
Because he heard from the servants that Prime Minister Yun was coming, he immediately thought of what he had investigated and the grievances suffered by his cousin Meng Yue.
However, he did not hold any official position. After all, Yun Zhengzhi was the prime minister of a country. Even though he was the second son of the royal family, he could not scold Yun Zhengzhi to his face.
With his father coming forward, he had nothing to worry about. He believed that his father would make Prime Minister Yun suffer in silence.
Thinking of this, he immediately followed his father's footsteps.
"Dad, wait for me. Why are you walking so fast? Let Yun Zhengzhi wait."
Prince An's quick steps stopped instantly.
"Yun Zhou, you are right. Why should I be in such a hurry to meet Yun Zhengzhi? Let's go slowly and let him wait."
"Hey, Yunzhou, do you think Mengyue's baby is a boy or a girl?"
"How would I know that? I haven't seen cousin Mengyue for a long time."
"You little brat, you just haven't seen me for a long time. I haven't seen you at all."
"Can you blame me for not meeting her? When my cousin was in the capital, you had so many opportunities, but you didn't take the initiative to meet her. Why are you regretting it now?"
"Oh, can you blame me for this? How could I know that the daughter of the prime minister's family is Wan'er's daughter? If I had known earlier, I would have brought her to the mansion earlier. I would not have let anyone abuse her like this."
When Prince An thought about the suffering and pain his niece had endured, he hated Yun Zhengzhi so much that his teeth were itching.
This side of the flower hall.
Led by the servants of Prince An's Mansion, Prime Minister Yun and Yun Ran followed to the flower hall to wait for Prince An.
Two incense sticks passed, Prime Minister Yun drank two cups of tea, but there was no sign of Prince An.
A quarter of an hour passed, and after two more cups of tea, still no one came.
"Have you told Prince An that I came to visit with my daughter?"
"Prime Minister Yun, I have explained everything clearly. The prince said he knows and will come over soon."
Yun Zhengzhi knew that the servants in the flower hall would not lie about this matter. He waited for a quarter of an hour for tea and had drunk four cups of tea, but Prince An still did not come. This made him nervous.
He had wanted to contact Prince An's Mansion before, but Prince An was like a stone in a pit of toilet, smelly and hard, and he ignored him at all.
He didn't have high hopes when he brought his daughter here this time, but he was delighted when he entered Prince An's Mansion.
But when he arrived at the mansion, the treatment he received was completely different from what he had imagined.
Even though he was angry, he didn't dare to vent it on the servants in the palace.
After all, when beating a dog, one has to look at the owner first. After all, he is a servant of the palace. Even if he is the prime minister, he has no reason to beat or scold the servants of the palace.
Prime Minister Yun's impatience did not show on his face, and he still looked amiable.
Yun Ran was not like that. She went to the Prince An's mansion with full confidence, thinking that once she announced her name, she would be invited in respectfully.
When she meets Prince An and tells him that she is Xie Wan'er's adopted daughter, Prince An will be very excited and will immediately call Xie Wan'er out, acknowledge her identity, write her name in the family tree of Prince An's Mansion, and she will become the legitimate cousin of Prince An's Mansion.
But the reality was completely different from what she had imagined. Not only was she not treated warmly by the palace, but she and her father were taken to the flower hall and left there alone. They kept serving her tea, and she said she didn't know anything she asked.
"Dad, I think the servants in Prince An's Mansion are really unruly. We have been sitting here for such a long time, and no one has come out to greet us. I think we should leave. This is the cousin of Prince An's Mansion, and I can't afford her."
As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, someone outside the hall burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this lady is right. The identity of a lady from Prince An's Mansion is indeed beyond your reach."
Prime Minister Yun and Yun Ran turned their heads to look outside at the same time. Prime Minister Yun immediately stood up and walked forward.
"An upright greeting to King An."
Prince An acted as if he didn't see it. He continued to walk to the main seat and sat down without even looking at Yun Ran.
Yun Ran was ignored and was very angry. He said arrogantly, "Prince An, right? I am Xie Wan'er's daughter. Please have someone call her out. I have something to say to her."
"How dare you! Someone, throw this barking thing out."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
The servant standing outside the flower hall heard his young master's order, and quickly carried Yun Ran and walked out.
"Let me go, Miss. Do you know who I am? Take your dirty hands away and don't touch me."
Of course the servants in the palace knew who they were pulling. Wasn't she the daughter of the prime minister's family? She didn't have a very high status, but she dared to shout and yell in the palace. Anyone could call her "aunt". She must be so tired of living.
Seeing Yun Ran was about to be dragged away, Yun Zhengzhi didn't care whether Prince An called him to get up or not. He turned around and said dissatisfiedly: "Prince, my little girl is ignorant. You are a magnanimous person. You won't bother with a little girl, right?"
"Oh, what do you mean, Prime Minister Yun? It's not my order, and you can't pin the blame on me for no reason."
Prime Minister Yun was so angry about this that he fell backwards, but he could not refute it. The order was indeed not issued by Prince An, but what was the difference between what Xie Yunzhou said and what Prince An said? Everyone in the capital knew that this father and son were of the same mind.
Yun Zhengzhi knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. However, the purpose of his visit to Prince An's Mansion had not yet been achieved, and he could not be driven away in disgrace like this.
"Prince An, my daughter is the cousin of the prince's mansion. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Wait."
Prince An asked his servants to stop, and Yun Ran had been released.
"Prime Minister Yun, what do you mean by this?"
Faced with Prince An's questioning, Yun Zhengzhi did not answer immediately. Instead, he straightened his clothes and found a seat closest to him and sat down.
Xie Yunzhou couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Yun Zhengzhi pretending to be so pretentious. He truly deserved to be the most pretentious prime minister in the court.
Yun Zhengzhi did not notice Xie Yunzhou's disdainful expression. He was only thinking about how to make Prince An recognize Yun Ran.
As long as his daughter can successfully become the cousin of Prince An's Mansion, then he and Prince An's Mansion will be relatives, and they will be considered as relatives.
In the future, if he uses the name of Prince An’s Mansion when he goes out, many people will believe him.
In addition to the status of Prince An's Mansion in the Great Zhou, he will definitely be able to quickly win over more court officials and make them stand on the side of the Second Prince in the shortest possible time, which will greatly increase the chances of the Prince's success.
At that time, as long as the second prince becomes the crown prince, after the emperor passes away, the second prince will ascend the throne and his daughter will be the queen.
Since he is both the prime minister and the emperor's father-in-law, his power will definitely reach its peak. Those who curry favor with him in the capital will probably be able to circle the capital several times.
Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
