Chapter 289: Banquet at Shouwang Mansion



The people in the general's mansion came forward and helped Shen Zhihua back.

No one expected this to happen. His results in the provincial examination were better than An Mingbo's, so how could he fail?

"It's not fair..." Shen Zhihua shouted, "There must be someone behind this."

People didn't take it seriously. How many people failed the exam every year? Besides, who would do something behind his back?

Fang, of course, stood on her son's side. She also shouted, "God damn it! Why don't you have eyes? Why are you blind?"

Mrs. Chu advised him, "Take the exam again in four years. You still have a chance. Maybe it's just because he didn't perform well on the spot. Mingbo is usually average. Even in the exam room, he can do essays that he normally wouldn't be able to do. But he was able to rank 15th this year, which was really beyond my expectation. It seems that my son is blessed by his ancestors."

She was really good at persuading people, and she almost made Fang so angry that she started to scold her. But after thinking about it, she suppressed her anger. Since she lived here, she should not accuse them.

No one in this general's mansion is easy to mess with.

Shen Zhihua returned to his room and threw himself on the bed, as if he had lost his soul.

He refused to listen to anyone's calls and Fang kept shouting that it was unfair.

Qiaojie's heart sank. She had thought that Shen Zhihua could win fame and honor in one fell swoop, and she would not have to leave the capital again, after all, her mother was there. But now it seemed that she had no choice but to go with them.

Even if there is a chance, I have to wait four years.

Beiyuan.

Chu was happy for her son.

Everyone temporarily forgot about the old lady's matter, and Chu was still thinking about how to celebrate.

An Ranyue was naturally happy too.

No matter what, my brother will become an official. At that time, he may be more powerful than my father and can help me.

An Qingran had a premonition that Shen Zhihua would fail the exam. When the prince found out that he had proposed to him, his face looked very unhappy and he said that such a person had a bad heart and the country would not use him.

Could it be that the prince was behind this?

No matter what, An Qingran felt that his failure in the exam was a good thing for the country and the people.

There is an evil look in his eyes and he is too self-righteous. He deserves a lesson.

She was really happy that An Mingbo passed the imperial examination.

She had a good impression of this cousin.

Therefore, the old lady's first day of hunger strike did not attract much attention.

Of course, she also knew about An Mingbo's affairs and felt that her grandson was quite promising.

That's why she wanted to do more for them.

Beiyuan did not celebrate after all, because An Zhongyuan still remembered that his mother was on a hunger strike.

Shen Zhiyun was a little sad about her brother's failure in the exam, but she didn't care too much because An Qingran was going to take her to a party tomorrow.

That was hosted by Dongfang Ruoxue. She had long wanted to see the three best of the capital.

She heard that she would most likely meet the princes of Dongfang Run, and she didn't know how to dress up. She wanted to ask her mother for advice, but she was embarrassed because of her brother's matter, so she came to Qiwuyuan.

An Qingran was not overly prepared. Although she was looking forward to the lotus viewing conference held by Dongfang Ruoxue, she could not show that much excitement because she had too many things to do at home.

"Qingran, do you think this dress will look a little plain if I wear it tomorrow?" Shen Zhiyun had no idea.

An Qingran looked at the sky blue dress in her hand and gave her opinion. The two talked for a while before she left satisfied.

The next day, the old lady continued her hunger strike.

An Qingran and Shen Zhiyun went to the meeting, riding in the same carriage. An Qingran did not react much, but Shen Zhiyun was different. She looked left and right, asked questions left and right, all the way to Prince Shou's Mansion.

There is a lotus pond in the Shouwang Mansion. At this time, the lotus leaves are lush and the lotus flowers are swaying. Originally, Dongfang Ruoxue held this party for her brother. He wanted to meet An Qingran, but couldn't find an excuse. However, he prepared for the party. As a result, An Qingran was married to Dongfang Jin. Dongfang Ruoxue knew very well that her brother would have no chance to meet An Qingran in this life. She no longer expected her to become her sister-in-law. This party can be regarded as a final farewell to her brother, right?

There were many guests at the party, and the female guests and male guests were separated by a curtain. But occasionally when the curtain was blown by the wind, one could clearly see the beauty or gentleman next door.

An Qingran had been chatting with Dongfang Ruoxue and Lou Wanyue, while An Yanran and An Ranyue also came. Dongfang Ruoxue acted prudently, and even if she had a bad impression of An Yanran and the others, she would not lose face for the general, so they also came.

The two people's eyes were involuntarily looking for Dongfang Ye. An Qingran brought Shen Zhiyun and introduced many people to her. In the last life, she got together with An Yanran and others. In this life, she would still help her. No, it should be to help them.

It must be God's blessing that Shen Zhiyun fell in love with Dongfang Ye at first sight and asked her shyly who that person was.

This was exactly what An Qingran wanted, so she told him that it was Prince Kang, a prince whom the emperor admired very much and who was also very handsome and romantic.

Shen Zhiyun naturally knew about Prince Kang, and there were two concubines in the general's mansion. At that time, she didn't understand why these two women would like this man at the same time, and what was so good about him. Now, at first sight, she felt her heart pounding and was attracted to him involuntarily. There were also wealthy and powerful families who came to propose marriage before, but compared with Dongfang Ye, those people were all clay pigs and clay dogs. This was a real noble son.

An Qingran looked at her expression and laughed in her heart. In this case, the possibility of her becoming friends with An Yanran and others was zero.

She could rest assured that she would be sent to him when there was an opportunity.

She doesn't mind making an enemy for herself.

After An Qingran changed her clothes, she walked along the garden and found that the garden of the Shouwang Mansion was much more beautiful than that of the General's Mansion. She drank a little wine and was a little drunk, so she leaned on the rockery to rest, looking at the lotus field. The wind brought coolness across the water, and she felt comfortable. She couldn't help but close her eyes...

Suddenly she felt something strange and opened her eyes, only to see Dongfang Run looking at her not far away. When he saw her wake up, his face softened slightly and he did not walk away but walked towards her instead.

An Qingran had a very good impression of Dongfang Run. Without any hesitation, she approached him and said hello: "Prince Dongfang..."

"Miss An, how are you?" Dongfang Run's face was elegant.

"Everything is fine." An Qingran was not a very friendly person. She looked at him and couldn't find the words for a moment.

Dongfang Run said, "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you."

"Thanks."

Dongfang Run smiled at her, with a hint of bitterness in that smile, then he turned and left. The man in white gradually walked away. An Qingran looked at his back. She didn't know why she felt that his back seemed very lonely. She shook her head in confusion and left.
