Chapter 54: The elder sister is very beautiful

The news of the Prince Yan  leaving the capital spread quickly.

Although ordinary people did not pay much attention to this matter, the nobles were particularly concerned.

For example, the several people in the imperial palace were all speculating about Xiao Jin's purpose for going to Qingzhou.

But the one who was most concerned at the moment was the governor of Qingzhou.

Governor Xu had been in the officialdom for many years, and a few years ago, he had a great chance of being promoted to the position of the Minister of the Taichang Temple, which was a third-rank official position.

Unfortunately, he offended a nobleman he should not have offended, who had been secretly obstructing him. As a result, he was demoted to the position of a fourth-rank county governor.

Governor Xu thought that his official career was most likely to end here, but he did not expect that the extremely noble Prince Yan  from the capital would come to Qingzhou.

No one knew what the Prince  Yan  was thinking, including Governor Xu himself.

Although Governor Xu did not know the purpose of the Prince Yan's visit with her wife to Qingzhou, since he had received the news, he had to serve them carefully.

He was a smart person, so early in the morning, he stood outside the city gate, assuming a respectful and cautious attitude.

Despite waiting for the whole morning, Governor Xu's legs were getting numb from standing, but he still did not see the Prince Yan's figure.

Listening to one piece of news after another, he couldn't help but feel his fake smile strained.

"The Prince Yan  left the capital by boat, passing through the cities of Huiye, Huqiu, and Nanjia. Many people were standing by the city moat, watching the ship sail away..."

Governor Xu squinted his eyes. The Prince Yan's reputation had always been bad, and people had always been afraid of her. How could they just watch her sail away?

The food server who was announcing the news seemed to notice that Governor Xu's expression was not right, so he leaned in and whispered, "My lord, you may not know this, but ever since the Prince Yan  snatched her bride in public, her reputation has gradually improved. People say that although the Prince Yan's behavior was domineering, the rumors of her acting out of love and righteousness have given her some positive light."

Governor Xu was somewhat surprised that things could develop this way.

The food server smiled and continued, "In addition, there have been some rumors in the palace recently, saying that on the day when the Princess hosted a banquet, the Fourth Prince did not attend because he invited the Prince Yan's wife to his residence and was then beaten by the Prince Yan!"

"Really beaten?" Governor Xu asked in surprise.

"Yes, not only was he really beaten, but it was also at the Fourth Prince's residence. It is said that after that day, the Fourth Prince did not leave his residence for several days, presumably because he was beaten too badly and did not dare to show his face to people."

Governor Xu felt very pleased in his heart. After all, a few years ago, he had offended Prime Minister Mu and ended up in this situation.

However, he had to hold back his laughter since he was still standing at the city gate.

Although he wanted to applaud for Xiao Jin, he had to ask in a serious tone, "Isn't it more intimidating for the people that the Crown Prince has beaten the Fourth Prince? "
