Chapter 487 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 14

Wang Xifeng did not take the encounter with Prince Beijing in Huangjue Temple to heart, but she did not know that Prince Beijing had become very interested in her just as she had guessed. After returning to Prince Beijing's Mansion that night, the first thing he did was to order his servants to find out Wang Xifeng's identity.

"This is the first time I've met such an interesting little girl. Not only is she pretty, but she's also very hot-tempered."

Wang Xifeng returned to the main hall to reunite with Zhen Shi, who was holding a fortune stick and waiting for the host to interpret it. Seeing Wang Xifeng coming over alone, she asked in dissatisfaction, "Where are the two maids who followed you?"

Zhen's dissatisfaction was not directed at Wang Xifeng, but at the fact that the maid who was supposed to follow the young lady closely disappeared without saying hello.

"Oh, Feng'er was called back by me to get the fan, and Le'er went to the wing room to make the bed in advance. I feel a little tired, so I want to go back to the wing room to rest first."

Wang Xifeng had no habit of shirking responsibility, so she would naturally help the two maids to explain. After hearing Wang Xifeng's answer, although Zhen's expression was still dissatisfied, she did not say anything about punishing the maids.

"Brother Feng, Auntie has told you that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. It is really not good for a little girl like you to go out alone."

"No matter what situation you encounter in the future, don't send everyone around you away. If you run into a bad person, it will be bad if something happens."

Zhen had good intentions and that's why she said all these things to Wang Xifeng in such earnest words. Wang Xifeng was not an ungrateful person, so she naturally listened to her. However, Wang Xifeng knew that she was not an ordinary girl, so she could only say sorry for Zhen's kind advice.

Wang Xifeng stayed with Zhen in Huangjue Temple for two days. She packed her luggage and went down the mountain early on the third day. At this time, the person who was ordered by King Beijing to find out Wang Xifeng's identity also successfully recognized Wang Xifeng.

"Is this the young lady the prince is looking for?"

The servants of Prince Beijing's mansion were a little uncertain. "The prince said that the girl was not very old, wearing a bright red skirt, with big round eyes, and was very pretty..."

After comparing one by one, the servant confirmed that Wang Xifeng was the daughter that Prince Beijing wanted to find. He waited secretly there, and when the carriage of the prince's mansion passed by, he quickly found the logo on the carriage. However, the Wang family no longer had the title in this life, and the carriage of the prince's mansion could only be of ordinary configuration, and no special logos were allowed. The servant used to follow Prince Beijing, and he had come into contact with powerful families such as princes and dukes who could use logos.

The servants never thought that the always arrogant Prince Beijing would suddenly become interested in a young lady from an ordinary family, so the servants' plan to use the carriage mark to identify the person failed.

He had no choice but to resort to traditional methods and spend money to bribe the novice monk of Huangjue Temple so as to take the opportunity to find out Wang Xifeng's identity.

There is indeed nothing in this world that money can't buy. After spending the money, the servant just mentioned that he was looking for someone beautiful, and the monk immediately thought of Wang Xifeng.

"I happen to know the person you are asking about, but the reputation of a girl is so important. As a monk, I cannot disclose her identity casually."

Although the novice monk of Huangjue Temple spoke in a high-sounding manner as if he was really a devout monk, when he saw the servant gritting his teeth and taking out a few silver grains from his arms, he quickly snatched them and stuffed them into his own arms. He took them all and kept signaling with his eyes for the servant to take more.

In the end, the servant spent another five cents of silver to find out Wang Xifeng's identity from the novice monk. After returning to Prince Beijing's mansion, the servant did not delay at all and hurried to Prince Beijing's residence to report.

"Your Majesty, I have found the girl you asked me to investigate a few days ago!"

Prince Beijing was not a playboy like Jia Lian. He had a lot of things to do all day long and had long forgotten the things he mentioned on a whim. He only remembered them when his servants came to report.

"Oh, that girl, did you find out?"

"Tell me, what is her identity and which family does she belong to?" Now that he had found out, Prince Beijing did not feel that his servants were disturbing him and decided to listen with interest.

"She is the young lady of the palace."

"The lady from the palace? That palace?"

Prince Beijing was impatient. This servant was obedient, but too stupid to tell him the key points.

"It's the palace of Lord Wang Ziteng, the Second Rank Governor of Jiu Province."

"Oh, so she is Lord Wang's niece!"

Judging from the character background of "Dream of Red Mansions", Prince Beijing is the leader of the group of four kings and eight dukes. Although he is young, he has great ambitions. On the surface, he is an idle prince, but in fact, he secretly recruits knowledgeable people as his staff in an attempt to seize power.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Wang Ziteng's name, he immediately knew Wang Xifeng's identity. King Beijing knew exactly who were the people in the major families in the Four Kings and Eight Dukes group, who were capable, and who were rich.

Today, the power of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes has declined. Although it is not obvious, they have hardly had the opportunity to appear in court since the failure of the late Crown Prince Yi Zhong. Wang Ziteng is one of the top figures in the entire Four Kings and Eight Dukes group, so Prince Beijing naturally pays close attention to him.

"Wang Ziteng's niece..."

Prince Beijing began to think about how much status Wang Xifeng had in Wang Ziteng's heart. If the aristocratic families wanted to unite, they had to go through marriage, and he was naturally no exception.

"It would be great if she was Wang Ziteng's biological daughter."

After all, Prince Beijing was still concerned that Wang Xifeng was only Wang Ziteng's niece and not his biological daughter, so he did not make up his mind.

Wang Ziteng didn't know that his long-cherished wish of marrying Wang Xifeng to Prince Beijing had been mostly fulfilled. He was still struggling with how to get close to Prince Beijing so that he, a second-rank official, would appear not to be too eager.

The former Wangxianbo, that is, Wang Ziteng's father, did have a good relationship with Beijing King's father, the old Beijing King. It should be said that the four kings and eight dukes at that time had close ties and good relations, and they all supported the faction of the former crown prince, Prince Yi Zhong.

However, he did not expect that Prince Yizhong's rebellion would fail. Although he saved most of his supporters with his own life, the emperor who had lost his beloved would not listen to reason with you. At most, he was spared from death, but he was punished or demoted.

As the second son, Wang Ziteng, like Jia Zheng, did not participate in it. It was not until Wang Xifeng's father had to withdraw like Jia She that he finally had a chance to stand out.

However, all the close connections he once had died or retreated, and Wang Ziteng’s relationship with the Four Kings and Eight Dukes became much more distant.

If he hadn't really had some ability and climbed up, he might not have been valued by King Beijing. The remaining second sons were not like Jia Zheng, who was able to stay in his position for decades even though Jia Daishan asked for a chance before his death.
