Chapter 157: Do you really not like it?
When passing by the second house's courtyard, Liang Moyuan happened to see Huo Siyuan coming out of Liang Shanyu's house with a happy look on his face, and raised his eyebrows.
It was such a mess yesterday, but so joyful today.
It seems that Liang Shanyu and her husband can never have a peaceful day.
When they arrived at the front hall, Liang Moyuan had just asked Zhushu to prepare the tea and fruits that Princess An Ning liked when a voice came from outside.
"Princess An Ning has arrived—"
Liang Moyuan quickly stood up to greet him.
"Let's not get into all this nonsense between you and me." Princess An Ning exempted Liang Moyuan from the formalities before she even stepped into the hall.
Liang Moyuan still insisted on completing the ceremony.
It was one thing that Princess An Ning didn't want her to perform the ceremony, but she couldn't really exempt herself from it. If it got out, it would mean that she didn't know etiquette.
If you really want to, you can also try to link it to Huo Jinjian and the Liang family, but it really doesn't make it worth it.
Princess An Ning entered the hall and saw Huo Jinjian behind Liang Moyuan. The corners of her mouth that had been grinning just now immediately retracted, and she nodded solemnly towards Huo Jinjian.
"Your humble servant greets Princess An Ning."
Huo Jin could tell at a glance that Princess An Ning had come here to tell Liang Moyuan something private.
If he stayed here, he would become disliked.
Huo Jin approached Liang Moyuan and lowered his voice: "I'll go outside first and not disturb you and the princess."
Looking at Huo Jinjian's departing back, Princess An Ning remembered what the eldest princess had told her before she left.
"The eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion is in poor health. Please don't say rude words and offend him."
Princess An Ning originally thought that he was a hunchbacked sickly man, and she felt unfair, wondering how a man like that could be worthy of Liang Moyuan.
Now that I see it with my own eyes, Huo Jin does not look as sickly as his mother said.
He is clearly tall and straight, handsome, and possesses a character that other generals do not have.
Standing next to Liang Moyuan, they are an indescribable match.
"Princess, have some tea first." Liang Moyuan handed the brewed scented agarwood tea to Princess An Ning.
Princess An Ning withdrew her gaze from examining Huo Jinjian's back and winked at Liang Moyuan: "Your husband is quite different from what was rumored."
Liang Moyuan pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Huo Jinjian who was standing outside the hall without leaving a trace, and her eyes fell on the face of Princess An Ning.
"Your Highness, you didn't come to see me specifically to see my husband, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Princess An Ning's expression fell.
She sighed deeply, her expression annoyed yet helpless as she said, "This time, Mother insisted that I marry Anan. No matter how I tried to persuade her, she ignored me. She also said that she wanted you to go with her to see the place today."
Liang Moyuan was stunned.
The eldest princess was really worried about her daughter, but looking at Princess An Ning's pouting and frowning face, she obviously did not want to accept this marriage.
"Sister, what do you think, should I get married?" Princess An Ning looked expectant and conflicted.
Liang Moyuan chuckled. She had already seen through Princess An Ning's thoughts, but she did not point it out.
"The princess doesn't like him?"
That day, Liang Shanyu mentioned the young Prince of Nanshan at the banquet, which made the eldest princess angry. Liang Moyuan went to inquire about it when she learned about it.
The young Prince of Nanshan is named Gu Chengyan, and he also has military merits.
His literary talent was not particularly outstanding, but he was able to read and use ink, and wrote some clever poems.
I heard he looks pretty good too.
But with such conditions, and since she and Princess An Ning are childhood sweethearts, why wouldn't she like it?
After hearing Liang Moyuan's question, Princess An Ning twisted her handkerchief and it was obvious that she was also upset.
"I, I don't like him."
Listening to Princess An Ning's unconvincing answer, Liang Moyuan chuckled inwardly, but kept it a secret. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If the princess wants me to help persuade the princess, it's not impossible."
Princess An Ning's eyes suddenly lit up and she grabbed Liang Moyuan's hand.
"If my sister can persuade mother, that would be the best."
But Liang Moyuan shook her head slightly and continued her words softly.
"But Princess, the young prince and you are childhood sweethearts. I believe you two still have some friendship. You must understand your inner thoughts. Do you really dislike him, or is it because of the pressure from the princess?"
After Liang Moyuan finished speaking, she carefully observed Princess An Ning's expression.
Confusion and hesitation appeared on her pretty little face.
It seems she guessed right.
