In order to meet Mo Huaiyang properly, Yu Zizhen also attended the flower viewing banquet.
Because she was going, Fang Huaiying, who had originally not planned to attend, ended up going with her.
Xiao Yuanjin actually wanted to go with him, but thinking that he was still pretending to be unable to walk, even if he went, he would only be a drag on Yu Zizhen, so he bit his lower lip and looked at Yu Zizhen with eyes full of worry.
Chen Hushan and others who did not want to cause trouble shook their heads and waved their hands, expressing their firm attitude that they would never get close to Princess Anqing.
Yu Zizhen originally had no intention of taking anyone else with her. She smiled and comforted Xiao Yuanjin a few words, and then she tried to persuade Fang Huaiying again who insisted on going.
Fang Huaiying was adamant and insisted on going with them. He was doing this to protect Yu Zizhen, and Yu Zizhen had no choice but to force him not to go, so in the end, the only two people who went to the Anqing Princess's mansion for the banquet were Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying.
The two of them took the carriage of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion and arrived at the gate of Princess Anqing's Mansion at the same time.
As early as the day he decided to come, Fang Huaiying had already made up his mind to act together with Yu Zizhen. Meng is inseparable from Jiao, and Jiao is inseparable from Meng.
Yu Zizhen thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide the meeting with Mo Huaiyang from Fang Huaiying, so he did not object to Fang Huaiying's proposal.
After getting off the carriage in front of the main gate of Princess Anqing's mansion, Yu Zizhen squinted his eyes and looked at the people and cars around him.
After seeing this, Yu Zizhen quickly discovered that what the baby-voiced system said was absolutely correct. The guests at Princess Anqing's mansion today were all of impressive stature.
Look at who's here, and look at the fawning attitudes of the families of second- and third-rank officials towards Princess Anqing. Oh, and the girls Princess Anqing pays special attention to are all from the families of high-ranking dukes or first-rank officials.
"Tsk tsk," Yu Zizhen thought to himself, "The Empress Dowager and the Lu family are truly powerful. Otherwise, what family with any sense of propriety would be willing to marry a child of unknown origin born to a lunatic like Princess Anqing?"
But the current situation is that there are several young girls with good family backgrounds who are eligible to marry princes. Their parents and relatives all hope that they will marry into the Princess Anqing's mansion.
Yu Zizhen sighed in her heart and no longer paid attention to the female relatives. She and Fang Huaiying, led by the second son of Princess Anqing, went to the men's seats on the other side of the garden.
As soon as he turned around the heavy screen that separated the male and female guests, Yu Zizhen saw Mo Huaiyang sitting behind one of the low tables.
Normally, Mo Huaiyang, as the consort of Princess Anqing, could not attend a flower-viewing banquet like today's, which was mainly attended by female guests and children. However, thinking of the contemptuous attitude of Princess Anqing towards Mo Huaiyang, every guest who saw Mo Huaiyang sitting there stupidly quickly felt that his presence was a matter of course.
While everyone was sighing in their hearts that Princess Anqing really liked to humiliate Mo Huaiyang as always, they maintained basic etiquette and went over to greet Mo Huaiyang.
Mo Huaiyang was like a puppet. When someone came to greet him, he would respond. If no one came to greet him, he would just continue to sit there.
Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying, who were led here by Princess Anqing's second son, immediately greeted their elder Mo Huaiyang according to etiquette.
Mo Huaiyang was still the same as before. He mechanically responded to the disgusted gaze of Princess Anqing's second son, and then continued to sit there stupidly like a sculpture.
The second son of Princess Anqing turned around to greet other guests and did not notice the fleeting light in Mo Huaiyang's eyes when he saw Yu Zizhen.
Naturally, he didn't notice that Yu Zizhen didn't sit far away from Mo Huaiyang like the others.
After Princess Anqing's second son left, she pulled Fang Huaiying's sleeve and sat with him behind the low table next to Mo Huaiyang.
Taking advantage of the all-round shielding of the teacup and wide sleeves, Yu Zizhen greeted Mo Huaiyang in a low voice, "My Lord, long time no see."
Mo Huaiyang glanced at Fang Huaiying and saw that Yu Zizhen had no intention of being on guard against him. He couldn't help feeling confused and shocked.
If he remembered correctly, when the child introduced himself just now, he said "Fang Huaiying, the prince of Weiguo Duke", right?
How did the Prince of Weiguo and the Prince of Zhenbei get along so well? Aren't their families supposed to be competitors?
Mo Huaiyang didn't understand.
Yu Zizhen had no intention of clearing up Mo Huaiyang's confusion. She said, "The candidate for Princess Anqing's daughter-in-law is currently..."
After quickly and quietly announcing three names and their backgrounds, Yu Zizhen quickly announced two more. "These two really want to marry into Princess Anqing's residence, but they've already been immediately ruled out by Princess Anqing. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll make a final push at this flower viewing banquet."
The word "strive" sounded meaningful to her, and it was obvious that the other party's means of striving were not quite right.
Mo Huaiyang was so distracted by her words that he no longer cared about how Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying had developed such a trusting relationship. His expression was a little complicated. "The prince is still as well-informed as ever."
Yu Zizhen smiled but said nothing.
Mo Huaiyang returned the favor and told Yu Zizhen some important information about the Lu family.
Now he was able to completely control Princess Anqing in private, so many things that he should not have known, Princess Anqing told him in detail because she was under his control.
What he didn't know was that Yu Zizhen actually knew more detailed information about what he said than he and Princess Anqing knew, and Yu Zizhen didn't come here to really exchange information with him.
The reason why she was willing to make this trip was simply because she wanted to take this opportunity to test Mo Huaiyang's current attitude and see if Mo Huaiyang was still grateful to her and willing to achieve mutual benefit with her.
Yu Zizhen was very satisfied with the result of the test. In the following time, she provided Mo Huaiyang with some secret information about Princess Anqing and her children.
It was not until Princess Anqing's second son came here with other guests and enthusiastically suggested changing seats for Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying that the two followed his instructions and sat at a table across from Mo Huaiyang.
A banquet is not a good place to talk, so Fang Huaiying did not immediately ask how Yu Zizhen and Mo Huaiyang reached a mutually beneficial relationship. He accompanied Yu Zizhen to participate in the pitching pot, archery, and Cuju competitions with a helpless look on his face, watching her win many prizes from others.
