Chapter 448: Chapter 448, reluctant to part
After they had agreed on how to leave the Prince’s mansion, Qian Qingyu was reluctant to part with the Prince’s mansion.
She was most reluctant to part with Lu Ang.
It had only been ten days since Tang Yuanyuan’s wedding. Qian qingyu almost did not want to leave Lu ang at all times. It would be great if he was willing to give himself an identity.
Lu Ang was very pleased to see Qian qingyu sticking to him like this.
Qiao Ruohan, who was married today, held a flower feast in her residence. She invited the handsome young masters of Chang ‘an city and the daughters of various manors.
Lu Ang also received an invitation. He had to stick to Qian qingyu like this, so he also brought Qian Qingyu with him.
Tang Yuanyuan heard that there was a flower feast, so he also wanted to attend it. “Brother Ang, can you take me with you? I heard that the peonies in Chang ‘an are very beautiful. Unfortunately, there are no peonies in Lin ‘an city, not even peonies.”
Lu ang said, “You’re about to get married, and you’re still the new wife. It’s not good to go out rashly, right?”
Tang Yuanyuan said, “Then I’ll treat you as Sister Qingyu’s maid. I’m dying of boredom.”
Lu ang said, “Alright, just in time. There will inevitably be places that I can’t take care of at the banquet later. Help me protect Qingyu.”
Tang Yuanyuan nodded. “Yes, yes, okay.”
The butler of the Qian family who sent Tang Yuanyuan over was already very helpless. According to the rules of Lin ‘an, after marrying a brother from a distant family, the rest of the relatives were not allowed to send him off. Tang Yuanyuan’s seniority was low and he did not have a brother.
The butler of the Qian family could not care about Tang Yuanyuan at all. He only told Tang Yuanyuan about the appearance of Zhou Gu. Today, Qiao Ruohan invited all the young talents in Chang ‘an. Zhou Gu might also be at the banquet.
......
There were many people attending Qiao Ruohan’s flower feast today. Firstly, Qiao Ruohan’s status was high. Secondly, the Emperor and the second prince were not married yet, and the empress dowager was not in Chang ‘an.
Qiao Ruohan was the Empress Dowager’s youngest sister, and the emperor was also her nephew. Perhaps the flower feast was organized for the Emperor.
Therefore, not only did the people who sent out the invitations all come, but there were also many young ladies who specifically begged the people who had the invitations to come to Qiao Ruohan’s banquet.
As the name suggested, the reason why Qiao Ruohan held the flower feast was really to enjoy the flowers. She had loved flowers and plants since she was young. This year, there was a purple peony that had actually grown a deep purple and gradually turning black du Dan Flower. This was a rare sight in the world.
As soon as Lu ang arrived, he was called away by a few princes from the royal family. Qian Qingyu was very observant and did not go over. Just as Tang Yuanyuan had said, there were no peonies in Lin ‘an city.
She was determined to leave and had to see more of the magnificent peonies here.
It was the first time Tang Yuanyuan saw so many varieties of peonies. She said, “No wonder everyone says that peonies are beautiful and graceful. Today, when I saw the peonies, I was indeed very generous. I wonder if I can make a dish with peonies?”
Qian qingyu smiled lightly. Tang Yuanyuan seemed to be able to think of anything better than cooking.
While the two of them were admiring the flowers, the voices of a few people could be heard.
“Lian ‘er, your brother’s wedding date is approaching, right? It should be less than ten days, right?”
Zhou Lian ‘er said, “Yes, I’m almost annoyed to death when I talk about this. That Tang Yuanyuan might be the daughter of the Wu royal family, but her father is just a small constable. He hasn’t made much progress after so many years.
“I heard that she has been learning to cook these two years and has been following her mother to show her face in the restaurant. She doesn’t have the self-awareness of the future Prime Minister’s wife at all.”
The young sisters beside Zhou Lian ‘er said, “Lord Zhou Gu is already the top scholar in high school at such a young age. Over the past few years, there have been many matchmakers who have proposed to Lord Zhou Gu. Indeed, they are not suitable for the women of the common people.”
Zhou Lian ‘er sighed and said, “When I think about how my brother has a bright future ahead of him but wants to marry Tang Yuanyuan, that woman who is nothing, I feel extremely depressed. My Brother is an auspicious scholar, the prime minister in the future.”
When Tang Yuanyuan heard Zhou Lian ‘er’s words, he was extremely angry. He stood out and said, “So what if I’m a Cook? If it wasn’t for the engagement back then, I wouldn’t have been willing to marry your brother. Who would be willing to marry into your Zhou family!”
Zhou Lian ‘er recognized Tang Yuanyuan, who had grown up. She did not expect that her looks had improved a lot after not seeing her for a few years, “Tang Yuanyuan, your wedding date is approaching. Why are you at this banquet instead of waiting at the Courier Station to get married? And you’re even with a fake.”
Zhou Lian ‘er saw Qian qingyu, who had a slightly bulging stomach beside Tang Yuanyuan. “You’re about to get married to my brother. Before your marriage, you were so close to the descendant of a brothel lady. It’s a disgrace to our Zhou family.”
Tang Yuanyuan said, “It’s the most shameful thing for the Zhou family to have you.”
Zhou Lian ‘er pointed at Tang Yuanyuan and said, “You!”
Zhou Gu saw the change and quickly came over. “Lian ‘er, did you cause trouble again?”
Zhou Lian ‘er said, “Elder brother, it was Tang Yuanyuan who came to scold me.”
Zhou Gu looked at Tang Yuanyuan. In his memory, she was still a delicate child, but now she was a young girl. Zhou Gu looked at Tang Yuanyuan’s appearance and said, “Yuanyuan, Lian ‘er is young and insensible. Don’t be angry.”
Tang Yuanyuan lowered her head and said quietly, “She is even older than me.”
Zhou Gu said to Tang yuanyuan, “Why did you come to the banquet today? Do you want me to send you back to the Courier Station?”
The Qian family of the Tang family had set off early so that Tang Yuanyuan would not have to travel on the road. Therefore, they had arrived in Chang ‘an half a month earlier.
They could not get married before the auspicious day. Zhou Gu did not know that Tang Yuanyuan was in the Prince’s mansion and had always thought that she was in the courier station.
Tang Yuanyuan took a look at Zhou Gu. When he was young, Brother Zhou was handsome in Lin ‘an city, but when he came to Chang ‘an, she felt that Zhou Gu’s appearance was too ordinary..
Tang Yuanyuan replied, “No need. I have been living in the Prince’s mansion in Pingliang recently.”
“The Prince’s Mansion?”Zhou Gu was stunned.
Tang yuanyuan nodded and said, “It was brother Lu Xi who let me live in the Prince’s Mansion.”
When Zhou Gu heard Lu Xi’s name, he immediately said respectfully, “Shh, You Can’t Call His Majesty by his first name.”
Tang Yuanyuan did not want to talk to Zhou Gu anymore. She said to Qian qingyu, “I think there are more beautiful peonies ahead. Let’s go over there!”
Qian qingyu replied, “Okay.”
On the way, Qian Qingyu looked at Tang yuanyuan guiltily and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Tang. It’s all because of me that you were ridiculed by the Zhou family’s miss...”
Tang Yuanyuan said, “Zhou Lian ‘er has the face of a villain who has achieved success. Just ignore her.”
On the other side, Zhou Lian ‘er said to Zhou Gu, “Brother, you’re actually helping Tang Yuanyuan?”
Zhou Gu said with slight annoyance, “Zhou Lian ‘er, are you brainless?”? Tang Yuanyuan was the eldest cousin of the Wu royal family. Her mother used to be the empress dowager’s maidservant. If you dare to ruin my marriage with Yuanyuan and ruin my future, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”
“Brother, if you marry Tang Yuanyuan, what will happen to cousin?”Zhou Lian ‘er asked. “You are the future prime minister. She doesn’t have much relationship with the Prince of Wu’s mansion.”
Zhou gu said, “You should show some respect to Tang Yuanyuan!”
Although the Prince of Shu had the title of prime minister, he might not be able to enter the cabinet.
Tang Yuanyuan lived in the Prince’s mansion when he came to Chang ‘an. It could be seen that his majesty and the Prince valued Tang Yuanyuan. Marrying Tang Yuanyuan would be beneficial to him in the future!
