Chapter 159: Mutual Love
Gu Chengyan was wearing a green suit and a black waist belt, making him look slender yet powerful.
His eyes were clear and bright, and his every move and gesture showed the demeanor of a noble family. He was obviously a man of great passion and emotion.
Just looking at it this way, he is more suitable for Princess An Ning than that scholar.
Liang Moyuan and Gu Chengyan looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Since they are all guests of honor of the eldest princess, they do not need to be treated with ordinary etiquette.
"That girl An Ning said she was going to wash and dress, but she hasn't come yet. Go and urge her."
When the princess saw that Gu Chengyan had already taken his seat but Princess An Ning was still not here, she frowned and instructed the maid beside her.
Hearing this, Gu Chengyan smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to rush. An Ning is a girl after all, so it's normal for her to spend some time on her makeup and dressing. The lake is beautiful today, and the king and the first lady can take the opportunity to enjoy it for a while."
As he spoke, Gu Chengyan looked at Liang Moyuan.
Liang Moyuan nodded in agreement, but in her heart she sighed that Gu Chengyan was very perceptive and his words were very precise in protecting Princess An Ning.
Thinking of Princess An Ning's resistance before, Liang Moyuan couldn't help but be curious about why she didn't like Gu Chengyan.
Liang Moyuan was confused and secretly observed Gu Chengyan.
After Gu Chengyan sat down, he put a few cushions on the seat next to him and moved the dishes.
Before Liang Moyuan understood his intention, Princess An Ning arrived.
The eldest princess looked at him reproachfully: "How did Nanny teach you the rules? Being late for a banquet is so unbecoming."
Liang Moyuan thought that Gu Chengyan would protect Princess An Ning like he did just now, but she didn't expect him to just purse his lips and say nothing.
This is a bit strange.
But at the moment, Gu Chengyan didn't say anything, so Liang Moyuan had to help him out.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry with the princess. Young girls are shy and always need to dress up properly. Besides, the prince just said he doesn't mind."
Gu Chengyan didn't expect Liang Moyuan to mention him. His eyes were obviously panicked and he subconsciously looked towards Princess An Ning.
When Gu Chengyan realized that Princess An Ning was not looking at him, a hint of loss flashed across his face.
Liang Moyuan saw all these changes in emotions.
She raised her eyebrows, as if she understood something.
This young prince is not indifferent to Princess An Ning, but Princess An Ning probably just doesn't seem to like him on a daily basis.
Boys and girls at this age are at their best when it comes to appearances.
Since Princess An Ning is so unhappy, even if he really has feelings for her, he will keep it to himself.
Thinking of this, Liang Moyuan couldn't help but find it interesting.
Princess An Ning's seat was right next to Gu Chengyan.
As soon as she sat down, Liang Moyuan knew what Gu Chengyan had been doing.
Princess An Ning is petite, and the tables, chairs, and benches at the banquet outside are mostly the same size, so she will feel shorter when she sits.
But Gu Chengyan had already laid out the mat, which was just right for Princess An Ning to sit on.
Liang Moyuan glanced around and saw Princess An Ning naturally raised her left hand to pick up the teacup that should have been placed on her right.
This is also the position where Gu Chengyan just replaced himself.
It seems that Gu Chengyan really understands Princess An Ning.
Liang Moyuan couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
When she raised her eyes, she found that the eldest princess was staring at her.
"I think the children will feel uncomfortable if I am here, so I will go to the next door."
Liang Moyuan understood what the princess meant, and after she left, she followed her. Liang Moyuan followed the princess and sat down in the next room.
The sound of stringed instruments and bamboo music covered up the conversation between the eldest princess and Liang Moyuan.
"What does Madam think of the young prince?" The eldest princess took a sip of tea and glanced sideways at Liang Moyuan who was sitting on the right.
Liang Moyuan chuckled and said, "The young prince has achieved military merit at a young age. He is naturally a young prodigy. He has handsome features and his every move reveals his extraordinary bearing. He was brought up in a very strict family. He even spoke up for the princess just now..."
After listening to Liang Moyuan's words, the eldest princess just looked indifferent, without any emotional changes.
Liang Moyuan knew that the eldest princess was choosing a husband for her daughter not to hear Gu Chengyan's praise.
So she paused deliberately before continuing, "He's still young, and a bit arrogant. He doesn't look like someone who would bow down easily, and he lacks some literary talent. But compared to the average military commander, he's already pretty good."
"No one is perfect, and the young prince is already a rare young talent."
Only then did the eldest princess show a hint of satisfaction.
Yes.
If Liang Moyuan just kept praising him, it was just because she guessed that she was satisfied with Gu Chengyan and was saying nice things to him.
Now that the advantages and disadvantages are mentioned together, it just shows that Liang Moyuan is really helping Princess An Ning to make a choice and takes this matter to heart.
No wonder An Ning likes him. The eldest princess also thinks that Liang Moyuan is indeed a person with a true temperament and is worthy of close friendship.
Seeing the smile and satisfaction in the eldest princess' eyes, Liang Moyuan knew that she had said nothing wrong.
However, no matter how satisfied the princess is, it ultimately depends on Princess An Ning herself.
Liang Moyuan then said, "Your Highness, I personally think that when a princess is choosing a husband, talent, appearance, and the like are not the most important things."
