Chapter 1,145: Princess Ao Comes to Visit
News came out from the Xingguo Hou Mansion that the Tai Fu fell ill just after returning to the house, and Princess Chen also fell ill after she went to pick her up and came back!
The Xingguo Hou Mansion felt more and more in decline. The family who originally wanted to get married to the Xingguo Hou Mansion for the sake of Princess Chen hesitated again.
The two children of the third and eldest children of the Xingguohou Mansion are not close to each other. Needless to say, Princess Chen has not lived in the Xingguohou Mansion for more than a few days. As for the younger son of the Xingguohou Mansion, he is currently being raised in Ruian University. The relationship with the cousins in the eldest princess's mansion should be as light as water.
For a while, people who had some thoughts suppressed it and waited to see how the situation would change. However, the sudden trouble in Qingjun Prince's Mansion caused many people to turn their attention away.
Prince Qing had made a betrothal before, and I heard that the engagement was made early. The woman’s background was unknown, but Prince Qing didn’t want to give her up. Even during the talent show in the palace, those high-status show girls He didn't pick on any of them, he bluntly said that he already had a princess in the royal family, and just talking about this made people feel good, and they all felt that Prince Qing was not an ungrateful person.
After Princess Yao came to Beijing, everyone suddenly knew that Princess Yao seemed to be marrying Prince Qing. So what about the fiancée that Prince Qing had agreed upon before?
Many people think that the rumors are not credible, while others think that since they are said so, they must be true.
And this is not just a marriage, it is related to state affairs, so more people are concerned. Many people who still don't understand are staring at the house where the two princesses of Ao Kingdom are staying temporarily.
Some people also went to Qin Huaiyong to inquire about the news.
Compared with King Chen and King Qing, Qin Huaiyong is the best place to get information.
But after going there, everyone shook their heads, and Qin Huaiyong was tight-lipped, saying that everything was subject to the emperor's orders. Although everyone was spreading rumors, there was no official decree. Does this mean that everything is possible?
Shao Wanru did not expect that before the matter of Xingguo Hou Mansion was resolved, the princess of Aoguo came to visit.
Here are two princesses from the country of Ao, Princess Yutao and Princess Yuyan.
Upon hearing that the two princesses were visiting, Shao Wanru pondered for a moment and invited them in.
After being invited inside, I discovered that not only the two princesses from the Ao Kingdom were there, but Princess Yuanan was also there, which was a bit surprising.
"This is Princess Chen!" Princess Yuan'an walked at the front to guide the two princesses. When she saw Shao Wanru first stepped forward to salute, then stepped back and pointed at Shao Wanru to introduce to the two princesses.
"I've met Princess Chen." Princess Yutao looked Shao Wanru up and down with a bit of pickiness in her eyes. Although she couldn't marry Chu Liuchen, she felt in her heart that she was just destined to Chu Liuchen but not destined. If it was fate, When the time comes, Chu Liuchen will definitely want to marry her. She has always been very proud of her appearance.
But now that I saw Shao Wanru, I couldn't help but feel suffocated. The woman in front of me, no, in fact, it should be said to be a girl. Although she was dressed like a married woman, she still looked a bit childish and innocent. Beautiful facial features, not sharp but with the elegance and charm of a little daughter. The watery eyes are flowing, the eyes are sparkling, the skin is like snow, and the corners of the lips are delicate. Just one glance makes people stunned. How can I doubt this? A woman is like a fairy who has fallen into the Nine Heavens.
Princess Yutao had studied Chinese studies and had memorized many poems describing beautiful women in books. She originally thought that the names of those poems were too exaggerated.
However, the Princess Chen in front of her made her feel that these poems were too plain, and they could only describe a somewhat understanding meaning. The true beauty of the city could not be described clearly.
"Isn't it said that the most beautiful woman in the palace is Shao Baolin? Is it possible that she is more beautiful than Princess Chen?" Princess Yutao said in surprise after reading it.
As soon as she entered the capital, she sent someone out to inquire about things in the capital. She heard that the most outstanding woman in the capital was the eldest lady of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, Shao Yanru, who is now Baolin. It is precisely because of this saying that for Princess Chen, Yu Princess Peach is still full of confidence.
"Shao Baolin is more beautiful, I think, but Princess Chen is also stunningly beautiful." Princess Yuyan reacted quickly and said after seeing the ceremony with a smile.
There was a flash of jealousy in his eyes.
That day, she tried every possible means to seduce Chu Liuchen, but Chu Liuchen remained unmoved. She actually wanted to meet Princess Chen.
How could a woman who was not as tall as herself take the position of Princess Chen?
At this moment, there is nothing but jealousy. Why can this woman be so good-looking and marry such an outstanding husband as King Chen? I heard that the emperor also affirmed King Chen’s status, but Chu Qing is nothing. I thought She was getting more and more frustrated here. She didn't want to marry Chu Qing at all.
As long as it wasn't Chu Qing, she could actually be a concubine for King Chen.
Wasn't the mother-in-law the concubine who entered the house back then and now forced the queen to retreat three feet away!
It didn't matter whether it was the main room or the side room when she entered. Princess Yuyan felt that it was her future charm that mattered, so it didn't matter if she was so beautiful. The Queen of Ao Kingdom was also beautiful, but in the end she was stepped down by her mother and concubine.
Appearance alone is not enough, he also knows the knowledge and interests, and he has the country of Ao behind him. These are just a few advantages. If he enters Prince Chen's Mansion, Prince Chen's Mansion will be his own.
Thinking of this, Princess Yuyan's face softened and she smiled kindly.
After several people had seen the ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down.
"Princess Chen, I am a little offended by coming here without permission. However, the princes came to visit Princess Chen first because Her Highness, Prince Chen, was the only one to get married. Please forgive me for being presumptuous!" Princess Yutao put down the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile, although she There was also some reluctance, but it was impossible for her and Chu Liuchen to be together, so this unwillingness was laughed off.
She is the future Queen of the Ao Kingdom, and the one she wants to marry can only be a noble son of the Ao Kingdom. She has no connection with His Highness King Chen, so it can only be regarded as a beautiful meeting.
After thinking about this clearly, he stabilized his position. Deep down in his heart, he had to admit that Chu Liuchen didn't like him at all. In fact, if he did, he might have another idea, and right now , all she wants is the throne of Ao Kingdom, and it is best to cooperate with Chu Liuchen.
"The two princesses heard that I have a good relationship with Princess Chen, so they specially invited me to come with them." Princess Yuan'an also explained with a smile.
Have a good relationship with Princess Yuanan? Shao Wanru frowned, if the one who is good should be Zhang Qilan!
"Actually, I invited Miss Zhang Xiang before, but I heard that Miss Zhang is ill." Princess Yutao explained with a smile.
Zhang Qilan is the future Princess Yue, and Princess Yuanan is the future Princess Zhou. Their identities will be equal to Shao Wanru's in the near future. Even because King Yue and King Zhou are so good at each other, Shao Wanru is here.
I was still overwhelmed when I saw it.
The two of them are indeed suitable candidates.
"Princess Yuan'an is a very kind person, so she asked someone to invite her, and she came immediately!" Princess Yuyan said, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Qilan.
When the two princesses of Ao Kingdom arrived in the capital, the situation was unclear for a while. How could Zhang Xiang let his daughter get involved? As for Princess Yuanan and Zhang Qilan, the situation was different.
"Princess Chen, has Miss Zhang been ill recently?" Princess Yuan'an asked with a smile.
"I... haven't been feeling well lately, so I don't know very well." Shao Wanru shook his head.
"Haven't Miss Zhang come to see you? I heard that Miss Zhang and Princess Chen were close friends when they were in the boudoir." Princess Yuan'an became curious, as if she didn't know that these words had a provocative meaning.
"She is also unwell, but I didn't know." Shao Wanru smiled faintly, "I was rude!"
"Princess Chen, in a few days, we would like to invite some distinguished guests from Beijing to the house. Could you please help Princess Chen provide some lists?" Princess Yutao said impatiently. She disliked this kind of female chatter the most. Can't we talk more directly to each other if we talk with words in it?
"This matter...why not invite the eldest princess Ruiping?" Shao Wanru suggested after looking at Princess Yuan'an.
"I want to invite some young ladies. We are all of the same age and are familiar with each other." Princess Yuyan explained, "Although the eldest princess Ruiping also knows a little about the younger ladies, she is always younger and more informed than Princess Buchen. Take care of yourself!"
This is because he wants Prince Chen’s Mansion to take the lead!
Shao Wanru sensed this keenly, the smile on his face was still gentle, and he refused lightly: "I'm afraid I really can't help the two princesses with this matter. I have only been in Beijing for three years, and I have basically been here for three years. I spent my time in Yu Hui'an and had little contact with the daughters of aristocratic families in the capital, unlike Princess Yuan'an who was originally one of the most talented and beautiful ladies in the capital, and besides, I'm not in good health now!"
The two princesses of Ao Kingdom had just arrived in the capital, and many people were watching. Shao Wanru did not want to interfere at this time.
The matter at the Marquis of Xingguo's Mansion is what she wants to solve the most right now. The matter about Princess Aoguo is probably more mysterious. Besides, she is not in good health, so she got better from her injuries, but now she is ill again.
Princess Yuan'an's eyes fell on Shao Wanru's face and found that her face was indeed not very good. There was some concern on her face: "Why did she suddenly become ill again? I heard that she went to the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion to pick her up. What happened when Mrs. Tai returned home?"
Princess Yuan'an did not find out what exactly happened that day at the Xingguo Hou Mansion. She only vaguely heard that the Tai Madam was related to Shao Wanru's illness.
"It's not serious, but it needs to be taken good care of, and you can't be too careful!" Shao Wanru said softly, then turned his head and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
Princess Yuyan suddenly felt that although the Princess Chen in front of her had a picturesque appearance, she looked like a short-lived one. She couldn't help but secretly despised her. In fact, she didn't necessarily need Shao Wanru, she was just curious and wanted to see this Princess Chen. Princess, Chu Liuchen rejected herself again and again, just for the sake of such a weak and useless woman in front of him?
But the next moment, the smile on her face froze, and she heard Princess Yutao ask: "Princess Chen, can you please trouble Prince Chen to invite Prince Qing? Since arriving here, Prince Qing has not been there even once." came!"
