Chapter 86: Making her look bad in public again!
At this moment, Yao Biwu, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up to smooth things over: "The tea that Madam Liang prepared is truly fragrant. Princess, please try it while it's hot."
Qu Rumei also quickly said, "Yes, everyone, stop talking and have some tea and snacks."
Sun Manying suppressed her anger, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the flower hall became quiet for a while.
Yao Biwu was sitting right next to Ruan Yunsheng. She opened her mouth several times and seemed to have something to say.
Yao Biwu is a few years younger than Ruan Yunsheng. Five years ago, she was not old enough to go out to attend parties, so Ruan Yunsheng was not familiar with her.
Therefore, even if she found out that Yao Biwu had something to say, she had no intention of asking.
Yao Biwu, however, couldn't help herself after drinking half a cup of tea and whispered, "Princess, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has been recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion recently. I wonder if His Royal Highness is feeling better now?"
Ruan Yunsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Previously, when Xie Yan was injured on his palm in the waterside pavilion in the palace, Yao Biwu was very concerned about Xie Yan. Later, in the villa of Prince An's mansion, Yao Biwu's eyes were always on Xie Yan.
At that time, Xie Yan went on stage to dance with a sword for the first time. She thought Xie Yan was dancing with a sword for Yao Biwu to see, but the two had no contact during this period.
Or maybe they have a private relationship and she doesn't know about it?
She was so busy searching for the Sun and Moon Jade Bi that she had forgotten about Yao Biwu. She hadn't expected Yao Biwu to still care so much about Xie Yan.
Ruan Yunsheng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "If Miss Yao is worried about King Xuan, you can go and visit him in person."
Yao Biwu smiled awkwardly. How could she, an unmarried young lady, take the initiative to visit the prince?
Bai Ruowei had been paying attention to what was happening on Ruan Yunsheng's side. After hearing the conversation between the two, she finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
She hated Ruan Yunsheng immensely. Ever since Ruan Yunsheng came back, bad luck had been happening to her one after another!
First, Ruan Yunbo was instigated by Ruan Yunsheng to stop being her backup. Later, because of the incident in Prince An's villa, she was severely punished by her stepmother. She had no choice but to be Prince Duan's concubine.
Fortunately, Prince Duan still values her, and Sun Manying is fooled by her.
As long as the plot develops according to the original novel, when Prince Duan ascends the throne and the current Princess Duan dies of illness, she will still be the queen!
However, Xie Yan, the villain in the original novel, died early due to the lack of Hanxiang Feiyun Grass as a medicine guide and the poison given by Ruan Yunzhu. Therefore, Prince Duan easily became the crown prince and ascended the throne in a natural way.
But if Xie Yan had not died of illness, would the plot have changed again?
Therefore, she not only wants to kill Ruan Yunsheng, but also cannot let Xie Yan go!
Prince Duan had already told her about Xie Yan's feelings for Ruan Yunsheng, and Xie Yan really didn't care about his life for Ruan Yunsheng.
As long as we sow discord between these two people, Xie Yan's side will collapse on its own!
Thinking of this, Bai Ruowei smiled and said, "I saw Miss Yao and His Royal Highness Prince Xuan standing together in the villa of Prince An's Mansion before. They are truly a match made in heaven."
Yao Biwu blushed and said quickly, "Miss Bai, don't talk nonsense."
Bai Ruowei smiled and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. A few days ago, His Royal Highness Prince Duan brought me to the palace to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine herself said that His Majesty intends to arrange a marriage for the Prince."
Although she did not specify who the emperor wanted to marry King Xuan, her words made it easy for people to imagine that His Majesty wanted to marry King Xuan and Yao Biwu.
Yao Biwu immediately showed an expression of surprise. She had mentioned this several times in front of her sister, Concubine Li, and wanted her sister to have the opportunity to mention this matter in front of the emperor, but her sister had already stood on the side of Concubine Hui and Prince Duan, so she had always been against it.
It seems that her sister still loves her, otherwise why would the emperor have this idea?
Even the Imperial Concubine already knows about this, it seems the imperial decree granting the marriage is not far away!
The noble ladies around teased Yao Biwu, jokingly saying that she was about to become the Princess of Xuan.
Yao Biwu was overjoyed, but out of reserve she kept quiet. She simply blushed, lowered her head, and said in a whisper, "It's still a completely unresolved matter. Don't talk nonsense."
Bai Ruowei smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here. It's just a private conversation between sisters. What is there to be shy about, Miss Yao?"
As she spoke, she looked at Ruan Yunsheng, "Although His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is not the princess's biological brother, the prince and the princess grew up together, and their relationship is definitely closer than that of siblings."
"The prince is now recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion. He must have never forgotten the Marquis's kindness in raising him and has treated the Marquis' Mansion as his own home."
"When Miss Yao marries His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, she will be the princess's sister-in-law, and you two will be a family from now on."
Sun Manying quickly replied, "Yes, no wonder Miss Yao was so considerate to invite the princess to have tea just now. It turns out she was trying to please her sister-in-law in advance."
Yao Biwu blushed and said, "How could I..."
Bai Ruowei looked at Ruan Yunsheng and asked, "I wonder if the princess is satisfied with Miss Yao, her sister-in-law?"
Ruan Yunsheng put down his teacup and said indifferently, "Miss Bai, be careful with your words. Prince Xuan is a royal family member and is no longer the adopted son of the Zhenguo Marquisate, let alone a family member. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they might think that our Zhenguo Marquisate is ignorant and is trying to establish a relationship with the royal family."
"Since Prince Xuan is not my brother, his princess is not my sister-in-law. No matter who the prince marries in the future, I have no right to express dissatisfaction."
"Also, Miss Bai, please don't joke with Miss Yao's reputation before the imperial decree comes down. What if the Emperor chooses someone else for Prince Xuan to marry? How will Miss Yao cope with this?"
She looked at Bai Ruowei with a cold gaze, "Miss Bai, please be more polite, lest you ruin Miss Yao's reputation because of a joke!"
The blush on Yao Biwu's face slowly faded away.
Yes, even if the emperor intends to grant her a marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, everything is uncertain until the imperial decree is issued.
What if the emperor arranged for Prince Xuan to marry someone else? How would she cope with the situation in the future?
Yao Biwu calmed down and said to Bai Ruowei, "Miss Bai, I have never offended you before. Please don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation!"
Several ladies nearby also shook their heads secretly. Previously, in the villa of Prince An's mansion, Bai Ruowei had made trouble out of nothing and spread rumors that Princess Mingyi seduced Prince Duan, and was taken back to the mansion by the Shangshu's wife for discipline.
I didn't expect that she would not change her bad habits and was making fun of Miss Yao again.
With such outspokenness, no one would respect her even if she became the concubine of Prince Duan.
On the other hand, the princess spoke clearly and logically. She did not try to establish a relationship with King Xuan without knowing the limits, and she stopped the matter in time to prevent it from getting out of hand, thus preserving Yao Biwu's reputation.
A lady beside her said, "The princess is right. Miss Bai should be more careful with her words and actions in the future."
Bai Ruowei gritted her teeth and dug her nails deep into her palms.
Damn Ruan Yunsheng, he made her look bad in public again!
