Chapter 253

Chen Yanni glanced at the people around her calmly, especially those outside. Many people couldn't help but look here.

This Li Wanjuan insulted a fool by calling her stupid!

The daughter of the Grand Tutor, why is she so ignorant!

She used to think that she was quite simple, but she never thought that this Li Wanjuan was so stupid living in the capital.

It's disgusting to be disgusting, but she still played tricks on people. After all, if she married the prince in the future, she would encounter many things, so she should be practicing.

Chen Yanni sighed, and said: "Miss Li, I have only met you a few times, and there is no holiday, why do you insist on making things difficult for me!"

"What do you mean there is no festival? If it weren't for you, the position of the crown prince's side concubine would be mine." Li Wanjuan spoke so fast that the maid beside her had no time to react.

Chen Yanni was startled, she covered her mouth with the handkerchief, and said, "Miss Li, the position of the crown prince and side concubine was ordered by the emperor, and I cannot control it."

"Don't say that again in the future." As he spoke, he said to the people in the shop: "Everyone, please forget what you saw today." As he spoke, he bowed to the people around him.

Seeing Chen Yanni being so polite, the people around all smiled kindly and said:

"Miss Chen said so."

"Yes, yes, we haven't heard anything today."

"Yes, we just came to buy jewelry."

But what she thinks in her heart is beyond Chen Yanni's control.

Chen Yanni smiled and saluted everyone again, then pulled Gu Yao away.

As for Li Wanjuan, luckily she wasn't so stupid that she shut her mouth when she realized what she said was wrong. Although she still resented Chen Yanni's subsequent actions, she was already at a disadvantage right now.

It's better to go home as soon as possible and find her mother to find a solution.

Leaving the jewelry shop, Gu Yao hesitated to speak along the way, Chen Yanni understood what Gu Yao wanted to ask.

So he dragged her to the restaurant box that had been reserved earlier, and after the two maids had gone out and they were the only ones left in the private room, he said: "When I returned to the capital, my grandmother and I went to the palace to attend the palace banquet."

"I saw the prince in the palace, but I didn't say anything, just greeted each other, after all, the other party is the prince, who knows, the next day, a decree came from the palace, and I was given to be the prince's side concubine."

Gu Yao pursed her lips and said: "But your mother is a married woman after all, can't you let the prince's child marry your uncle's child in the future?"

It's not that she doesn't speak up for her brother-in-law, but as far as the moment is concerned, the so-called brother-in-law is just a stranger to her, but Chen Yanni is different.

They are friends and good sisters. As a friend and a sister, she only wants each other to be happy.

Although she is the prince's side concubine, she is not a concubine to put it bluntly, but just a royal person.

Chen Yanni shrugged her shoulders after hearing Gu Yao's words, and said helplessly, "My grandmother gave birth to my mother and my uncle."

"My uncle and my mother are so different in age. If they change their age, maybe I won't be the one who married into the Prince's Mansion, but this is just a hypothesis!"

"As a matter of fact, my uncle is not married yet, and the Xuanyuan family doesn't have any daughters in the current direct line, but the Chen family is different."

"My mother is pregnant again now, even if she gives birth to a daughter, it will still leave a future for the Chen family. As the granddaughter of the head of the Xuanyuan family, my status is enough to marry the prince as a side concubine. "

Chen Yanni said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the Xuanyuan family has been able to become an imperial merchant, in addition to the talent in business, there is also a marriage with the royal family."

"Without the drive of profit, why does the Xuanyuan family occupy the position of the imperial merchant?" These were actually told by the old lady Xuanyuan after Chen Yanni came to the Xuanyuan family.

At that time, she was sad for a long time when she knew about it, but what could she do? The imperial decree had been issued, and she could only wait until Jiji's time to marry.

Now she can only hope that the prince is a good one, and that she can give birth to a child by then, other things are not extravagant.

Gu Yao thought about it, and the fact is indeed like this.

If you don't have enough interests, why give you all the support!
"Sister Yanni, don't worry, even if you marry the prince, as long as I am here, I will never let him bully you." Gu Yao held Chen Yanni's hand and said firmly.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yanni was instantly moved, she held Gu Yao's hand instead, and said, "Sister Yao, you are so kind to me."

"You are my good friend and sister, of course I treat you well." Gu Yao said with a smile, in fact, she felt a little guilty in her heart.

After all, she is now a peasant girl. Even if she and the prince are of the same mother, but they haven't seen each other for many years, who knows what the prince thinks about this sister!

Chen Yanni held Gu Yao's hand, her face was touched, she felt that this friend was worth looking for!

Because of serving food, the door of the private room opened a small crack, so that Gu Yao and Chen Yanni heard it.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Long time no see!" Gu Yao and Chen Yanni were very familiar with this voice, it was Xuanyuanqiu.

The two looked at each other, got up and lay down at the door to look out.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in brocade clothes turned his back to them, accompanied by a few guards, while Xuanyuanqiu, who was smiling, faced them sideways, with Ada at his side.

"So it's Young Master Xuanyuan. It's been a long time. My Highness remembers that the last time we met was half a year ago!" His Royal Highness, Gu Yuze said to Xuanyuanqiu with a smile.

"That's right, it's really been a long time. By the way, has His Royal Highness finished his meal or just came here?" Xuanyuanqiu said with a smile, "If I just came here, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to dinner." !"

"Then His Highness is disrespectful." Gu Yuze still had a smile on his face.

No matter who he is, Gu Yuze always has a smile on his face. Of course, he is His Royal Highness after all, and his emotions cannot be shown on the surface.

Expression management is very important.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Xuanyuanqiu said, before leaving, he glanced at the private room of Gu Yao and Chen Yanni calmly, and then took Gu Yuze to the private room next door.

It was understandable for Xuanyuanqiu to look at Gu Yao and Chen Yanni's private room, after all, the two maids standing at the door were by his niece's side.

He just didn't expect such a coincidence.

Gu Yao and Chen Yanni returned to their seats, Gu Yao bit her chopsticks and said, "The one just now is the crown prince. He has always turned his back to our side, and he didn't see what he looks like."

"I've met him once before, and he looks good." Chen Yanni ate a piece of fish and was shocked. She really didn't expect to meet His Highness the Crown Prince here.

Speaking of which, she had never seen each other since that palace banquet.

Gu Yao looked at Chen Yanni with a smile, and said with a teasing smile: "Sister Yanni, you must be tempted by His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What are you talking about!" Chen Yanni glared at Gu Yao, but her face was slightly hot.

"What did I say, I'm telling the truth!" Gu Yao said, "Look at your current appearance, you seem to have moved your heart."

Chen Yanni stopped talking immediately, touched her face, and then asked suspiciously: "Is it really similar?" But she doesn't seem to like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Gu Yao also saw Chen Yanni's confusion, so she said: "Sister Yanni, you are the side concubine of the crown prince, and there is another crown princess above you."

"If you really fall in love with the prince, you will suffer a lot. Of course, if His Royal Highness likes you very much, there is no problem."

Suddenly, Gu Yao thought of a question and said, "Who is this princess?" If this princess is difficult to get along with, sister Yanni will suffer a lot.

Chen Yanni thought for a while, and said: "The Crown Princess is the daughter of the Great General Zhen Guo, and she married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last year. I heard that they grew up together and have a very good relationship. I don't know if it is true."

"Could it be that these are folk rumors?" Gu Yao asked curiously with wide eyes.

Chen Yanni nodded and said, "Well, I heard about it from the mouths of other noble girls who attended a few parties with my grandmother before."

"But I don't know exactly what's going on." After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't seem to know where I heard that this princess is not favored in the General Zhenguo's residence, and she went to other places in the outskirts of the city." lived in the hospital for a while."

"That's right, there are rumors that the Crown Princess is not the one the Crown Prince is willing to marry. It is said that marrying this Crown Princess is only because of the forces behind her."

Gu Yao was confused, and asked: "Why do your rumors sound contradictory, one moment you say that the princess and the prince grew up together, and they have a good relationship, but the next moment you say that you didn't want it, but you just fancy the forces behind it. "

"It also means that the princess is not favored at home, so the forces behind this will not be on the side of the prince. Isn't it useless to marry?"

Chen Yanni shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who knows, I heard it from several places, and after getting it all together, I was confused, so whoever it is."

"Sister Yanni, you are going to marry into the Prince's Mansion next year, okay?" Gu Yao said helplessly, "Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win every battle!"

"Although the Prince's Mansion is not a battlefield, I feel that it is not much different from a battlefield. You must know more about it!" This way you won't be caught blind by then!

Chen Yanni sighed, powerlessly put down the chopsticks in her hands, and said, "Even if the rumors are all false, but the mansion of the General Zhen Guo is standing behind the Crown Princess Ren, so the Xuanyuan family can't compare to it!"

Gu Yao disagreed, and said: "There is no comparison, the general is good at fighting, but without the support from behind, how can he fight without food or drink!"

"Xuanyuan's family is an imperial merchant, and what they have the most is silver." Gu Yao took a sip of tea and continued, "As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around, right?"

Chen Yanni nodded, indicating that Gu Yao was right.
