Chapter 180 Yan Siyu: Sorry, I’m really good at scolding people

"…Your Highness, didn't you have lunch?"

The eldest prince burst into tears upon hearing this, "Cancan, you don't know, the people in the Imperial City Bureau are all animals!"

After hearing what the eldest prince said, Ye Can couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Yuwen has told you, why didn't you listen? I'll ask the small kitchen to make it and send it to you tomorrow."

"Hello, Cancan. Hello again."

Ye Can stretched out his hand to push the clinging man away, "Okay, let's eat."

The next day, Ye Can asked the small kitchen in their palace to prepare a lot of food and send it over. The eldest prince saw that there were too many things for him to finish, so he simply asked someone to send the food box to Yuwen Mu's duty room and eat with him.

After all, Yuwen Mubi is the commander, and the people on duty are much bigger than him.

When the eldest prince passed by, Yuwen Mu was writing something. When the eldest prince saw it, he blurted out: "Master Yuwen, you can still read!"

Yuwen Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness... Military commanders may not be good at martial arts, but they can still read."

"Look at what you said. How could I not know this? I was just kidding you." The eldest prince patted the food box and said with a smile, "Look, this is what our Cancan sent over. It's great for finding a wife. Lord Yuwen, you should find one as well. Or let our Cancan introduce one to you some other day?"

“No need.” Yuwen Mu stood up. He thought he should go to the cafeteria to eat, so as not to be angry to death.

"I'm here, don't leave." The eldest prince leaned over to grab Yuwen Mu, but happened to see what he had just written.

Yuwen Mu reacted and took the paper away, but he was still a step too late.

"A return gift for Miss Lu...Hey! Why did you take it away? It turns out you like Miss Lu."

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Miss Lu gave me a thank-you gift. The return gift is a courtesy and has no other meaning."

"I see. You like her but you don't dare to say it."

Yuwen Mu: ...He shouldn't have let the eldest prince enter this door.

--afternoon

"Shuyan——"

"Yuanyuan, Siyu, did you two meet at the door?"

Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes, I saw Siyu as soon as I got off the carriage."

Today is the old lady of the Zou family’s 70th birthday, and they all received the invitation and came to wish her a happy birthday.

"Let's go in."

Jiang Yunyi's wedding date is approaching, and he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors recently, so he didn't come today.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, we meet again. I haven't congratulated you on your engagement yet."

It was Madam Liang who came with her daughter. Shen Yuan bowed and said, "Meet Madam."

Liang Qingzi took her daughter in her arms and said to Shen Yuan and the other two, "Little Yuanyuan, can you do your aunt a favor and take my daughter Kui'er out to play today?"

Liang Qingzi couldn't bring her daughter with her at such a social occasion. Besides, her daughter had grown up and needed to play with people of the same age. It happened that she saw Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan was good, and she knew that the other two girls were good girls at a glance.

This was not a big deal. The three of them liked Liang Yingkui very much when they saw that she was such a lovely girl, so they all agreed.

Liang Qingzi said to her daughter gently, "Kui'er, you can play with these three sisters today."

According to the doctor, Liang Yingkui should be fifteen or sixteen years old this year, but because she was abused as a child and has been sick since her mother's womb, she is short in stature. Judging from her appearance, it is correct for her to call Shen Yuan and the other two her sisters.

Compared to last time, Liang Yingkui looked much better and had gained some weight, but perhaps out of habit, she still spoke in a soft voice.

"Hello, sisters. My name is Liang Yingkui."

Yan Siyu herself was a very strong-willed person, and when she saw a girl as gentle as Liang Yingkui, she became cautious, fearing that she would scare her.

Shen Yuan introduced Liang Yingkui with a smile, "My name is Shen Yuan." He pointed to the two people on his left and right, "Her name is Lu Shuyan, and she is Yan Siyu. We also have a sister named Jiang Yunyi, who is not here today. I will introduce her to you another day when I have the chance."

"good."

"Aoi, is that the same as sunflower? What a nice name for my sister."

Liang Yingkui blushed and nodded, "It's the sunflower in Chinese. My mother said that sunflowers face the sun and she hopes I can be like a sunflower."

She was in poor health and seldom had the opportunity to interact with people of her age. She felt a little embarrassed when Yan Siyu praised her.

Lu Shuyan smiled and said to Liang Yingkui, "You don't have to be embarrassed. She always says this to anyone she meets for the first time. She has no other words. But she is right. 'Born to face the sun' is a very good name."

Shen Yuan thought about it and it was true. When Yan Siyu first met her, she also said that her name was nice. It seems that she says that to everyone.

The wife of Marquis Xuanping brought back a child from outside, and the news spread throughout the capital. Later, the Liang family held a family recognition banquet and said that this was Liang's adopted child, and the news spread again in the capital.

However, when Yan Siyu saw Liang Yingkui, she felt that she wanted to take such a lovely girl home.

Shen Yuan still remembered that Liang Yingkui was not in good health, so he said to them, "It's so tiring to stand here, let's find a place to sit down."

The Zou family invited quite a few people today. The women talked together, and the unmarried girls who knew each other also talked in groups of three or four.

They searched for a while and happened to find a stone table and four round stools not far away, which was just right for the four of them to sit on.

There were a few girls sitting on the benches next to them. When Shen Yuan went over, she noticed that one of the girls was staring at her. When she saw it, she smiled at her openly.

This girl was covered in jewels and jade, and it was obvious that the people around her were praising her. She looked at people with arrogance, and when she saw Shen Yuan smiling at her, she rolled her eyes and said, "You don't look that good, you're not worthy of Master Xie."

So it was because of thanking her... Shen Yuan thought she looked familiar and guessed that he had seen her at the previous banquet. However, with so many families in the capital and so many banquets going back and forth, it would be strange if he hadn't seen her before.

Yan Siyu was furious when she heard this and rushed over to curse, "How can someone have such a stinky mouth? Did they not rinse their mouth after eating shit?"

Shen Yuan walked over and stared at her, then pointed at himself and asked her, "Are you talking about me?"

The other person's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that he was a coward, but he still insisted: "I'm talking about you, what do you think?"

"But the little Mr. Xie in your mouth compliments me on how pretty and cute I am every day. I don't know if you are blind or he is. Who do you think is blind?"

“You…you…you!!”

It seemed that he had never seen Shen Yuan so thick-skinned before, and the other party was speechless for a moment.

Shen Yuan then said to her: "Although you are not as good-looking as me, you are still okay. However, jealousy can make people ugly."

Seeing that her face turned red with anger, Shen Yuan said, "You will become ugly when you are angry."

Lu Shuyan stepped forward and said to her, "Miss Duan, Master Xie and Yuanyuan are already engaged. You are only showing your ugliness by saying such things now. You should apologize to Yuanyuan."

Even Liang Yingkui raised his voice and said with a fierce expression: "Yuanyuan is much prettier than you!"

Duan? Shen Yuan remembered the book he had read before, about a family with the surname Duan in the capital, the Anping Marquis Mansion.

The girl from the Duan family didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to pick on a soft persimmon this time. She couldn't scold them enough. One or two of them actually didn't take the Anping Marquis' Mansion seriously. She pouted and ran away crying, which made Shen Yuandun feel bored.

A little girl beside her hurriedly chased after her, not forgetting to swear, "Just wait! Wanwan is the daughter of the Marquis of Anping, can you compare with her?!"

Yan Siyu rolled her eyes and cursed back, "What's wrong with Anping Marquis' Mansion? If I cursed, you can ask Anping Marquis' Mansion to beat me up! They are teenagers, and they quarrel and cry to their parents. It's really boring."
