Chapter 99 You and He Are a Match Made in Heaven
Although there are not hundreds of flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden in spring, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.
All kinds of precious flowers cultivated in the greenhouse were moved out. In this cool early spring, the Imperial Garden seemed like a carefully crafted beautiful painting.
The wives of officials and young ladies from wealthy families gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing about something, but if you listened carefully you could tell that they were just flattering each other and inadvertently showing off what jewelry or fabrics they had recently acquired.
When you hear a compliment from others, you smile with satisfaction, and then continue to compliment others with false words.
Just a polite jealousy.
The moment Qiao Wanyan appeared in the Imperial Garden, everyone looked over. Without exception, there was a look of amazement in their eyes.
It's not that everyone present had never seen the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Although her mother was just a merchant girl, the daughter of an imperial merchant was barely worthy of her attention.
Such an identity is nothing in the eyes of these wealthy families and is not worth making friends with.
It just so happens that Qiao Wanyan's father is not only the Minister of Revenue who holds real power, but also the head of a century-old family.
When it comes to noble ladies in the capital, I'm afraid no one can compare to her.
When Qiao Wanyan was still young, everyone speculated that she would become the queen in the future.
But who would have thought that He Yanli, who was most likely to become the crown prince at that time, would be implicated because of his mother's family, and now the crown prince happens to like her elder sister, which is really a joke in the whole capital.
Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Yihuan, who seldom attended banquets. During this period, she was accompanied by the Tenth Princess, so many people had seen her.
But even though everyone in the capital knew that the prince liked Qiao Yihuan, no one took the initiative to talk to Qiao Yihuan. Instead, they all gathered around Qiao Wanyan, pushing Qiao Yihuan, who was supposed to be by her side, to the periphery.
Whether Qiao Yihuan can become the Crown Princess in the future is still a variable. If the Crown Prince is willing and the Emperor and Empress put pressure on her, how could the Crown Princess be a concubine's daughter born outside the marriage?
Qiao Wanyan raised her head slightly and greeted everyone gracefully. Her gaze fell precisely on Qiao Yihuan, who looked a little embarrassed and at a loss, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
It seemed that she was not planning to act out a sisterly love, pull her over to comfort her, and introduce her to everyone.
Just saying silently:
See, this is the difference between you and me.
But Qiao Wanyan also found it ironic. Everyone knew that the prince liked Qiao Yihuan, but no one thought that Qiao Yihuan would really become the prince's consort.
In this situation, no one wants to waste time making friends with "useless people".
If she had not read the storybook, she would have thought that Qiao Yihuan was just having a short and sweet dream.
Things in this world are so absurd and bizarre, anything can happen.
"Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Shu." Someone bowed and greeted. Everyone looked in the direction of the gaze and saw that the leader also bowed and greeted.
Concubine Shu glanced at the movements in the Imperial Garden, and finally her eyes fell on Qiao Wanyan.
He looked her up and down, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but in an instant he put on a kind smile and walked towards her.
"Wanyan is here too. The last time I saw you was a year ago. You look so beautiful after not seeing you for so long. I wonder who will be so lucky to marry you in the future."
Qiao Wanyan said calmly: "Of course he is a blessed person."
The tone, which was neither cold nor gentle, stunned Shu Fei for a moment, as if she didn't expect that she would be so ungrateful.
I am now the emperor's concubine, but she is so arrogant in front of me.
But Concubine Shu did not turn cold directly. She had not forgotten what her mother had told her. For the prosperity of the family, she had to do her best to let Yue'er marry Qiao Wanyan.
In this way, if Yue'er marries Qiao Wanyan, she will be able to get the help of Minister Qiao. Will she still be afraid of being stepped on by that bastard in the future?
Anyway, the Crown Prince doesn't like her either. Even though he saved her life, he has no intention of marrying her as the Crown Princess. So there is still hope for their Situ family!
"You are absolutely right. When I was still a girl, I liked you very much. I have always wondered what kind of person you would marry in the future to live a happy life."
Concubine Shu paused and continued, "I think a delicate girl like you should marry a man who loves you wholeheartedly, listens to you and cares about you. Only then can it be considered a happy life."
A young woman nearby said with a smile, "I heard that Concubine Shu's brother has not yet married, and he is also a handsome and talented young man."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone heard them.
Concubine Shu wants to bring her own brother and Qiao Wanyan together.
The Sixth Young Master of the Earl of Pingyang's Mansion was a man that the noble ladies of the capital would rather marry than a dog.
Empress Shufei is really bold.
It’s just that Concubine Shu is now the emperor’s favorite concubine. She is young, beautiful, and can please the emperor. No one wants to offend such a person.
Qiao Yihuan watched all this silently. All those people who had just surrounded her and flattered her were now speechless.
Everyone's eyes were on her, but most of them were there to laugh at her.
Qiao Yihuan looked at them coldly. These so-called noble ladies were nothing more than that.
Hypocritical and cold-hearted at heart.
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "I have heard that the Sixth Young Master of the Earl of Pingyang has not yet married."
Seeing that she understood, Concubine Shu smiled with satisfaction, "Now that you two are the same age, you two can meet and get to know each other better if you have the chance in the future. You two people of the same age will have a lot of topics to talk about."
Qiao Wanyan smiled obediently, but the words she said were not at all obedient.
"But the Sixth Young Master should have no shortage of people to chat with, right? If the Sixth Young Master needs to chat, let alone the concubines in the backyard, even if he sees anyone he likes on the street, he can invite her home to chat slowly."
Shu Fei's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Wanyan was surprised and said, "Oh, Your Majesty doesn't know yet? A few days ago, the Sixth Young Master forcibly took a girl into the mansion and beat up the girl's brother. It was because the brother came to the house to ask for the girl that the Sixth Young Master was unhappy, so he beat him up."
She sighed and said, "Sixth Master is very busy, how can he have time to chat with me?"
The smile on Shu Fei's lips could no longer be smiled.
Zi Yuan lowered her head and pursed her lips, not daring to smile, and pressed the corners of her lips tightly.
The lady's naughty look is so cute.
It's what she deserves. It's Concubine Shu who put the young lady there, mentioning such things in front of so many people, making it impossible for the young lady to refuse or accept, and deliberately making things difficult for her.
Qiao Wanyan looked at the other person who was trying hard to suppress his anger and spoke again slowly.
"Speaking of which, I know that girl. She is my friend. After careful investigation, I found out that she didn't want to be my concubine, so I asked my father to take her out of the Earl of Pingyang's mansion. Now she is working in the imperial kitchen."
Qiao Wanyan smiled as she finished speaking, "Your Majesty may be able to enjoy her cooking in the future, but as a generous person like Your Majesty, you will naturally take good care of the poor little girl who was bullied by your own brother, isn't that right, Your Majesty?"
