Chapter 630: Gossip Continues

It was the He family who conspired together to murder her mother and almost ruined her life.

It would be hard to forgive anyone, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan raised his head and glanced at Pei Chuyan beside him.

It's all thanks to Pei Chuyan. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid He Yuyao would have a hard time saving her.

Tonight's palace banquet was supposed to be a gathering for everyone, and the Great Chu Emperor simply asked that the ladies and daughters of each family be able to move around on their own, while he himself, on the pretext of having something to do, went to Yu's study with the Crown Prince.

Although he wanted to stay and listen to Wanwan's inner thoughts, his presence made everyone uncomfortable.

He would rather give Wanwan some space and let her investigate the matter carefully.

Lu Xingwan looked over and saw that the lady from the Duan family was already standing in front of Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan had indeed not seen the Duan family's wife for a long time.

Naturally, the two of them huddled together and talked affectionately.

Lu Xingwan leaned towards Jinxin again and said, "Sister Jinxin, is Guan Langshi here too?"

The princess suddenly asked the man's name, which surprised Jinxin.

They hadn't mentioned the name Guan Langshi for a long time in Qingyun Palace.

Then he subconsciously turned his head to look at the empress, only to see the lady from the Duan family talking to her.

After the lady from the Duan family came back from the empress, she twice requested permission to go to the palace to talk to the empress. Jinxin and Jinyu now have a very good impression of her.

At least it's much better than Guan Langshi who couldn't even lift it.

In their eyes, they felt that it was fortunate for the queen that she did not marry Guan Lang, and only a man like His Majesty who was gifted by heaven was worthy of their queen.

Although His Majesty has many concubines in the harem, but...

Alas! This kind of thing is still hard to say.

Jin Xin shook her head at the princess: "Maybe he's outside!"

Since His Majesty has spoken just now, this palace is stuffy after all, and it is snowing today.

"I've seen quite a few young men and women go out to enjoy the snow." Thinking of this, Jin Xin looked at Lu Xingwan with excitement, "Princess, do you want to go?"

Lu Xingwan hurriedly shook his head.

She had been frozen in the north and didn't want to be frozen again.

Now that she was back in the palace, she had to stay in this warm room and never go out.

Don't even think about getting close to the wind and snow.

Her little eyes continued to wander around the hall, and her gaze fell on Jia Jin who was standing next to her eldest sister. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw her second sister who was next to her eldest sister and talking to her.

Lu Xingwan came up to Jinxin again and said, "Sister Jinxin, I haven't seen my second sister for a long time."

It seemed that ever since my second sister left the palace to get married, she rarely returned to the palace.

You can only see it at palace banquets.

"Has the second sister given birth to a baby?" In the storybooks that Lu Xingwan had read, the women in these storybooks would probably give birth to babies not long after getting married.

Unless you are not feeling well.

Jinxin was still serving food to the princess: "Not yet!"

There was no worry in her tone, only joy: "The second princess's in-laws are really a very reasonable family. They don't even rush the second princess!"

"Princess, you may not know that the Second Princess is now a very powerful businessman in the capital!"

"The second princess is busy with her own affairs and has not taken care of the child."

"Under the guidance of the eldest princess, the second princess even had dealings with the Qin family and managed her own shop very well."

"His Majesty has said it himself, the Second Princess has a talent for business!"

You know, among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are always the lowest in this world. It is already very good that His Majesty has agreed to let the Second Princess go into business. I didn't expect to receive praise.

"Is the emperor willing to let my second sister go into business?" Lu Xingwan asked in surprise.

After all, no matter what is described in the storybook or the father that Lu Xingwan knows, he is a person who attaches great importance to face.

Even if they are sometimes more lenient with their children, this is only limited to sometimes.

Jin Xin didn't expect the princess to say that. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the princess in front of her suspiciously.

Pei Chuyan spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty has many princesses. If they can shine in all walks of life, that would be amazing!"

It turned out that it was to save the emperor's face.

"I wonder if my second sister has a gold shop. I'll go buy one someday..."

"Maybe my second sister will sell it to me at a lower price."

Lu Xingwan muttered to himself, which made Jinxin beside him laugh.

The princess couldn't move when she mentioned gold.

Seeing that Pei Chuyan seemed to know something about these things, Lu Xingwan approached him again and asked softly, "Prince Pei, have you heard from your father whether to recall the former Minister of Revenue Guo Ping back to the capital?"

I heard that during this period, Guo Ping managed Jinhu County in an orderly manner.

Lu Xingwan had seen the embroidery workshop of his daughter Guo Yueshao. She managed the workshop very well and provided livelihood for many women.

Although Guo Yueshao lived quite well in Jinhu County, he always felt that the place was remote.

Most importantly, Guo Yueshao once said that if given the opportunity, she would like to return to the capital to open an embroidery workshop.

Why are you all suddenly starting a business?

It seems that I have seen through it all. You can make money by doing business.

But if Guo Yueshao returned to the capital, she would inevitably be criticized by some big families. It would be better for her to be as comfortable as she is in Jinhu County.

Lu Xingwan also became entangled.

Pei Chuyan seemed to know in advance that Lu Xingwan would ask this question. He smiled and took a step forward to stand in front of Lu Xingwan. “A few days ago, I heard from the Crown Prince that His Majesty once mentioned Guo Ping.”

"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he doesn't know what His Majesty means yet."

While Lu Xingwan was enthusiastically asking Xiang Jinxin and Pei Chuyan beside him for information.

The Sixth Princess had long been unable to sit still in her seat. She glanced vaguely at Shang Zhi who was not far away, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

The Sixth Princess is indeed older and more sensible now.

If it were in the past, she would have rushed forward hastily and ordered Shang Zhiyi around, but now she has learned to be patient.

Lu Xingwan glanced in the direction of Lu Xinghui and continued talking.

Indeed, many people did not show up at this palace banquet.

At least, Lu Xingwan did not see anyone from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

As if he had noticed that the princess was searching for someone, Pei Chuyan approached Lu Xingwan and whispered, "Princess, the queen said that she would take the princess back to Dingguo Marquis' Mansion in two days, so Dingguo Marquis' Mansion has requested permission and will not attend this palace banquet."

Lu Xingwan looked up at Pei Chuyan in front of him, with some confusion in her eyes.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

[Could it be possible that Pei Chuyan could actually read minds? ]

[How many times? ]

【He always catches his own thoughts.】
