The word "Ying'er" made Meng Niaoniao bite her lip awkwardly. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was eerily quiet.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath, their eyes fixed on the curtain, curious or jealous about what kind of person would walk out from behind.
She could actually charm Prince Yan, who is not interested in women, to this extent!
Then, in full view of the public, something even more shocking happened:
That is, Prince Yan stretched out his hand to receive the person, but was hit back.
A slender woman in a crimson dress got down from the carriage gracefully. Her facial features were bright and charming, and she was extremely beautiful.
For a moment, it seemed as if the world had lost its color. Even Meng Niaoniao, who was dressed extremely seductively, seemed to be a foil to her.
The eyes of some people present flashed, and they seemed to understand a little bit, why Yan Zhuo could go to such lengths for a mistress?
It is really pleasing to the eyes and a feast for the eyes.
I am happy to have such a concubine.
"Hmph!" Meng Niaoniao was unwilling to be outdone, and snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Ying turned a blind eye and simply held out her hand for her son. "Your Highness, if you can't hold the child anymore, you can give him to me. With me as his mother, other people should not try to take the child. It would be foolish."
With just one sentence, Meng Niaoniao's face turned pale.
How dare she want to take the position of stepmother right away? Does she think her biological mother is dead?
The last time I saw her at the gate of Prince Qin’s Mansion, I thought she was brainless. When I saw her again today, her brain capacity seemed to be even smaller!
[That's right, my mother's scolding was good, it was brilliant! How dare you think of taking advantage of me?]
[Slightly, slightly, slightly...]
Little Yan Zhi bared his teeth and spit at Meng Niaoniao, but the distance was too far and the spit didn't hit Meng Niaoniao, but instead a lot of saliva foam sprayed on Yan Zhuo's hand.
Yan Zhuo, "..."
He held his youngest son tightly with his left hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his right hand and directly took Jiang Ying's left hand that was stretched in the air, and pulled Jiang Ying around Meng Niaoniao and walked forward.
Jiang Ying struggled subconsciously, and Yan Zhuo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Accompany me to act out a play and I will grant you a wish."
As he said this, he took her hand and interlocked their fingers.
Jiang Ying was slightly speechless. But if it was just a wish... she grinned and bared her teeth, asking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your Highness is so generous. Can you grant any wish?"
As if he had already anticipated what she would say, Yan Zhuo looked straight ahead and walked slowly towards the gate of the Qinwang Mansion with Jiang Ying. His voice was low but contained an irresistible tone, "Can't cancel the engagement, can't divorce."
Jiang Ying rolled her eyes, knowing that the Dog Prince was very shrewd and would not give her such an obvious loophole.
Before reaching the door, a group of people came out of the mansion.
It’s Yan Zhuo’s good stepmother!
With a large group of stewards and servants, he smiled before speaking. "When I heard the commotion outside, I thought it must be Zhuo'er who has returned. Today is the big day for the Duke and Little Yanzhi, and it's just the right time. Hurry up and go in. Your father and his colleagues have been waiting for a long time and can't wait to see your eldest son."
Tong Shi emphasized the three words "illegitimate eldest son" particularly strongly.
His gaze then fell on Jiang Ying's face. The smile was still the same, but it gave people a cold feeling that the smile did not reach his eyes.
Jiang Ying also noticed that Tong looked haggard and tired under her gorgeous attire.
Even with thick powder applied, the blue circles under the eyes were still visible.
It can be seen that I haven’t had a good rest these days!
Tong gritted her teeth while laughing. Of course she felt bad. She had lost something and was frightened by the snakes, insects, rats and ants all over the yard. She couldn't sleep at all.
Even if I finally fall asleep, I will wake up from a nightmare.
Originally, Tong didn't think that this matter had anything to do with Jiang Ying. After all, the incident happened a long time after she came to the door. But when she saw Jiang Ying's half-smile, she had an intuition in her heart that it must be related to this bitch!
"Jiang, you're here too." Tong said with a look of contempt.
Jiang Ying was about to answer, but Yan Zhuo had already taken the lead, holding her hand as if to claim his sovereignty, "It was I who wanted her to come, mother, please don't make things difficult for her!"
How could he not know that Tong disliked Jiang Ying?
Tong has been used to being a noble lady for many years. Not only has she forgotten her own birthplace, but she has also suppressed people who were like her in the past.
This alone made it impossible for her to like Jiang Ying, not to mention the fact that Jiang Ying had snatched the eldest grandson from the palace from her husband. This made Tong, who was devoted to Yan Shan and wanted him to inherit the palace, feel like there was a thorn in her eye.
The clearer Yan Zhuo understood, the less he wanted to give Tong face, and he continued to pull Jiang Ying over the threshold and into the palace.
Tong was completely ignored and was almost embarrassed.
But when she saw so many guests today, including important court officials and ladies from aristocratic families, she twisted her handkerchief in her sleeve, looked up again, and her smile was as warm as spring breeze again.
"Why are you all still standing? Please come in quickly. Today is called the Hundred Days Banquet, but in fact, we haven't been out and about much on weekdays. The King Qin asked this princess to invite everyone to come and have some fun."
Tong tried her best to appear generous and approachable.
One of her purposes was to watch the joke at the Hundred Days Banquet, and her second purpose was to take this opportunity to find a good wife for her son Yanshan.
Waves of guests filed in, all of them were prominent figures in the capital, accompanied by their legitimate sons and daughters. They were so dazzling and beautiful, it was impossible to tell who was who.
However, Tong had already had alternative candidates. The ones she had her eyes on were two of the four great talented women in the capital, Su Yilan, the only daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, and Mu Wanbai, the granddaughter of a cabinet elder.
Su Yilan is also the niece of the Empress Dowager, and Mu Wanbai's maternal grandfather's family is a jade merchant in Jiangnan. She is a powerful lady in the capital, and a well-rounded player with both literary and financial power.
