Chapter 32: Talented Scholar and Beautiful Lady
He Yuyao thought that since she had not contacted her cousin in these years, he should not care about her. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered the anniversary of her mother's death. She hurriedly said, "In Mingjing Temple."
The Great Chu Emperor nodded and said, "It is right. Duke Anguo died for the Great Chu State, so I should also show some consideration. Jin Yao, you should go with Chu Yan that day."
The prince quickly stood up and responded.
The second prince also stood up and said, "Father, they are all gone, why not let me go with them?"
The Emperor of Great Chu now saw that his second son liked to follow the Crown Prince and acted as if he was following the Crown Prince's lead. Naturally, he liked the harmony between the two brothers and agreed immediately.
He Yuyao was deeply moved and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
Rong Wenmiao and Han Xiyue, who were standing by, exchanged glances when they saw this. They were naturally happy for He Yuyao.
When Lu Xingwan saw the scene, he couldn't help but start mumbling again.
[Look at these talented and beautiful couples. The Crown Prince and Miss Han have been arranged to be married by their father. I think they will get married soon after Miss Han reaches the age of 15.]
[According to the story, Rong Wenmiao finally helped his second brother to build the great cause, deposed the third prince and ascended the throne as emperor, then married Rong's elder sister as empress.]
[It's really not easy for the two of them along the way, but the male and female protagonists of the story will always have to go through some twists and turns. ]
[But the situation is different now. Father is alive and well, and Prince Rong can no longer cause any trouble. As long as Father doesn't get stupid and pass the throne to the third prince, my second brother won't have to live such a hard life.]
"Cough, cough, cough..." Concubine Chen Guifei was slapped suddenly, and thought to herself: I hope that when Wanwan opens her mouth, she won't say such outrageous words all the time.
The Great Chu Emperor was no longer surprised by now. He would let it go and not care about the fact that his precious daughter couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Lu Xingwan was not affected by the two of them and was still muttering in his heart.
[But who is Pei Chuyan's official partner? I don't remember it being mentioned in the storybook.]
[Could it be He Yuyao? He saw that He Yuyao and Rong Wenzhou were in love with each other, so he took the initiative to withdraw and live a lonely life? ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful! What a foolish man! ]
Seeing that she was getting more and more absurd, Concubine Chen interrupted her: "Girls, why don't you let Jin Yao take you to the front to play? I see there are some activities like throwing pots, which is worse than staying here with me and His Majesty."
The Great Chu Emperor also stood up and said, "That's enough. I'm going back to the palace too."
After saying that, he looked at Concubine Chen Gui and said, "If you are tired, go back earlier and don't tire yourself out."
A few people saw off the Emperor of Great Chu before saying goodbye and leaving.
Pei Chuyan took a few steps but stopped: "I won't go."
When the prince saw him like this, he turned around and looked at him.
"Your Highness, I will stay with the Queen." Pei Chuyan explained.
Concubine Chen Guifei naturally refused and just let them have fun. She brought a few secret guards named Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum with her today, so she was safe.
After a few people left for a while.
Rong Wenmiao whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and then the maid turned around and went back to the Rong family's audience stand.
"Sir, the girl said that the prince wants to go to the front with a few girls to throw the pot, so she asked me to invite you to go with them." The maid ran straight to Rong Wenzhou.
Rong Wenmiao could see that her brother liked He Yuyao very much, so she usually tried her best to create more opportunities for the two of them. Such a big occasion as the polo match was even more rare, so she naturally wanted her brother to spend more time with He Yuyao.
Rong Wenzhou turned around and looked at his mother, and asked tentatively: "Mother, should I go then?"
"Go, go, you young people should get together and have more fun." Mrs. Rong naturally knew what Rong Wenzhou was thinking.
Although she disliked Lord He and his current wife, Mrs. Lin, she had met the old Duke of An's daughter, Pei Xian, several times when she was young. Pei Xian had always had a very good reputation among the nobles, but she didn't know how she ended up marrying into a family like the He family.
Although her daughter was being bullied by Lin in the family, she was a strong-willed girl and she liked her very much.
Although it seemed from Lin's implicit meaning that she wanted to bring Zhou Ge'er together with her biological daughter He Yunyao, she was naturally unwilling to do so.
Naturally, she knew what her daughter meant, so as soon as the maid beside her daughter came, she knew what it meant.
Watching them leave from afar, besides Shen Baoshuang, He Yunyao was also angry.
I don't know how my sister managed to convince Brother Wenzhou to play polo for her at today's polo match, causing me to lose.
Now he has even gotten in touch with the prince and his entourage, which is really infuriating.
Without thinking twice, he chased after him.
Rong Wenmiao, however, did not like her: "Just now I invited the second young lady of the He family to play with me, but you ignored me. Now you come here by yourself. I wonder whose charm is this?"
"Rong Wenmiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here, so stop talking nonsense." He Yunyao was naturally harsh in her words.
Rong Wenmiao glanced at her and stopped talking.
There are indeed many distinguished people present today, so I should say less and cause less trouble for Yu Yao.
The Second Prince turned his head and looked towards Rong Wenmiao. The last time he heard his mother talk about Rong Wenmiao's battle with Concubine De, he really admired this woman's courage.
The person I'm facing today is just a little girl from a noble family, but she remains silent?
When He Yunyao saw the Second Prince looking at his position, he even thought that the Second Prince had some thoughts about him.
She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince, I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, He Yunyao."
The prince did not turn around, but just walked forward and responded casually: "Yeah."
The second prince turned around and looked at her and smiled, but there was more sneer in that smile, and then he quickly followed the eldest prince's steps.
He Yuyao was whispering something to Pei Chuyan, not paying any attention to He Yunyao beside her.
Although He Yunyao felt ignored, she still gritted her teeth and followed.
Concubine Chen Gui, who was far away, saw this group of people walking forward happily and couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at this group of young people, I feel that I am old."
Jinyu on the side laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Madam? You are still young and beautiful now!"
Lu Xingwan naturally started to grumble as well.
[My mother is not even 30 years old yet. When I was in the Immortal Cultivation World, I was already over 300 years old. My master and the others still treated me like a child!]
Concubine Chen Guifei just looked into the room and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, he felt tired, so he said, "Jinyu, let's go back to the palace. Jinxin, tell the prince to let them have fun. It's okay to go back later."
He then instructed: "Let Chu Yan just have fun, I have someone by his side."
