Chapter 986: The Delusion is Naive
"In what capacity do you make this guarantee?"
Jiang Wan twitched her lips speechlessly, "I heard that the Crown Princess is your elder sister.
You are not even the prince's man, why should we trust you?"
These words seemed to hurt her heart, and Shi Yuan, who had been trying to persuade her in a gentle voice, suddenly changed her expression.
"Now I am the prince's most trusted person."
Although she was not the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince had promised her that if he ascended the throne one day, she would be the only Queen.
She came from another world and absolutely could not share a husband with others.
This is also the reason why Shi Yuan has not helped the prince to get better after being in contact with him for such a long time.
"You have no name or status, who would believe you?"
Jiang Wan's words were the truth, which hurt Shi Yuan's heart again, but Jiang Wan didn't care. She said:
“If you look closely, you’ll see that Ganze never thought about competing for that position.
If the prince hadn't sent wave after wave of people to assassinate Gan Ze, we wouldn't have come to the capital.
Instead of trying to persuade us, you should try to persuade the prince to stop imagining things all day long."
"impossible!"
Shi Yuan didn't believe it. The prince had clearly promised her that he would never do anything wrong in the future.
Jiang Wan chuckled, "What's impossible? Sometimes you shouldn't take yourself too seriously.
Compared to that position, what is the position of others in his heart?"
She was sure that Shi Yuan was not a native, but as to whether he had traveled through time, traveled through a book, or was on a mission, she still didn't know.
But the prince obviously knew that she had some abilities and seemed to be taking advantage of her.
"I'll ask carefully."
Shi Yuan stared at Jiang Wan and said very seriously, "Madam, please persuade the Fourth Prince more."
"Oh, I'll convey your message."
As for persuading him, Jiang Wan was too lazy to do so, after all, Gan Ze didn't have such an idea in the first place.
When Song Jiuyuan came back after paying the bill, Shi Yuan had already left.
He asked Jiang Wan worriedly, "Wan Wan, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, she doesn't dare to embarrass me."
Jiang Wan thought that Shi Yuan might not have been in the other world for long, so the prince was not allowed to hurt anyone at will.
It seems a bit naive to pursue the prince's lifelong love.
"That's good."
Song Jiuyuan took Jiang Wan's hand and got on the carriage. Jiang Wan no longer had the interest to go shopping, so she simply went back home first.
She put all the amber ornaments she bought into the space. These were gifts for Mrs. Song and Song Jiuli.
After taking a short nap, when Jiang Wan woke up, she saw Song Jiuyuan sitting there with a frown on his face.
"What's that expression on your face?"
Jiang Wan was a little puzzled as to why Song Jiuyuan looked like he was being bullied.
Song Jiuyuan sighed softly, "The eunuch from the palace came just now and will hold a welcome banquet for Gan Ze tonight."
"Um?"
Jiang Wan took a sip of warm water and asked, "Has the old man finally lost all patience?"
Gan Ze is attending the banquet tonight. Isn't this a clear declaration of war by the princelings?
Jiang Wan rubbed his brows with a headache. Song Jiuyuan continued, "The old man also invited us."
"What?!!"
Jiang Wan was somewhat resistant. She didn't like this kind of occasion very much, not to mention that it was accompanied by a struggle for imperial power.
"He said he wanted to thank the Fourth Prince's master."
Song Jiuyuan patted her shoulder and said, "Wanwan, if you don't want to go, we can just find an excuse to postpone it."
“This is not in Dafeng.”
Jiang Wan was a little speechless, "At least we have to consider Gan Ze's situation. If we don't go, how can he survive?"
Song Jiuyuan was silent for a while. Even though Gan Ze was Wanwan's apprentice, he didn't want to make Wanwan do something she didn't want to do because of him.
"Forget it, we just happened to meet that dog emperor who is so partial to him."
Jiang Wan also happened to be looking at the Third Princess' current status in Nanchuan. There was no way she would allow her disciple to support someone who had no chance of success.
Seeing her say that, Song Jiuyuan naturally couldn't object. In the evening, Jiang Wan changed into a green dress.
She wore a simple plain hairpin on her head, and Song Jiuyuan was wearing the same clothes as her.
When she put on the veil and went out, Muxiang and Ganze also wore the uniform clothes of Yaowang Valley.
The four of them got into the spacious carriage. Mu Xiang said nervously:
"I don't think I was invited. Would it be inappropriate for me to go?"
Muxiang had never been to the palace since she was born, and she was a little nervous.
"What's wrong with that?"
Gan Ze snorted, "You are my senior sister, we are considered family, who dares to gossip?"
When he came back this time, many ministers had extended olive branches to him.
The truth is that the prince is not only physically disabled, but his daily behavior is also very disappointing, so many people place their hopes on him.
"Just follow me."
Jiang Wan was worried that Mu Xiang would be bullied. When the noble ladies in Nanchuan saw how close she was to Gan Ze, they would probably secretly make things difficult for her.
"Master, rest assured, I will never leave."
Muxiang didn't dare to run around, and the group arrived at the palace gate while talking and laughing.
Carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, so they had to get off the carriages and walk.
Song Jiuyuan supported Jiang Wan, and the two of them walked arm in arm through the noble ladies queuing in front.
"Who is that? Why is he walking with the Fourth Prince?"
"It is said that the Fourth Prince's master personally sent him back. I guess the masked man is the Fourth Prince's master."
"The one holding the woman's hairpin should be his master's wife, who is that girl?"
"No matter who she is, the Fourth Prince has the best chance of ascending to that position. Be smart. If you become the Fourth Prince's consort, everything will be easy."
“…”
As Gan Ze approached, everyone bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Fourth Prince."
"May the Fourth Prince be safe and sound."
“…”
"Everyone, stand up."
Gan Ze waved his hand lightly with a frown on his face. He never liked crowded places, so he waved his hand and walked away quickly.
But these people still think he is cool and stylish.
"His Highness the Fourth Prince has changed a lot after going out for training for a while. No wonder the Emperor is most optimistic about him."
"Keep your voice down. If the prince hears you, he will punish you."
"He's disabled and he won't let anyone know. I don't want to marry someone like that."
“…”
Mu Xiang, who was at the front, heard these people and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother has such a good reputation now."
"These people are just fence-sitters. They will approve of whoever the emperor says is good. They never even looked at me before."
Gan Ze could not forget the looks these people gave him when he was young, but now he wouldn't take it to heart even if they said he was a flower.
When they arrived at the banquet hall where the banquet was held, Eunuch Yuanbao hunched his body slightly.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is clamoring to see you."
"Master, I'll be back soon."
Gan Ze was also helpless. Although he disliked that man, he was his father after all.
He actually wanted to see him in pain, so that he could repay his dead mother.
As soon as Gan Ze left, Jiang Wan and the others were taken to a private room to rest for a while and then go to the banquet hall later.
Palace maids brought tea and snacks, and the service was quite attentive.
Mu Xiang was puzzled, "It's not like what Junior Brother said, generally no one cares about him."
