Hua Fushu looked at Qin Youran, somewhat puzzled. Why did he come to the Kong family?
He has no dealings with the Kong family at all. Isn't he afraid of being suspected?
Qin Youran noticed Hua Fushu's confusion and said to the crowd, "Old Master Kong is highly respected and hospitable. He invited almost everyone involved in the plague relief efforts to attend his great-grandson's full moon banquet. He also invited me. When I came in, I saw Doctor Li and Imperial Physician Liu. Seeing that you were talking happily, I came in to check on you. I hope it won't be a bother."
Ling Zhiheng said happily: "Your Highness has come at the perfect time. Yu Shi and I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time."
Ye Zelin glanced at Ling Zhiheng calmly. Hearing his excited tone, it seemed as if he and the King of Qin were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Zhiheng and the King of Qin had only known each other for a short time, so why was he so enthusiastic?
Ke Zhiheng is just like this. He can get along with almost anyone as long as they catch his eye.
Hua Fushu said, "Don't bother me."
Ling Zhiheng had always admired the King of Qin's superb polo skills. When a plague broke out in the capital, the King of Qin formulated appropriate methods to treat the epidemic and quickly controlled the spread of the plague. Ling Zhiheng looked at the King of Qin with even more respect and had long regarded the King of Qin as his friend. He was extremely happy to see the King of Qin.
"Your Highness, have you set a date for your wedding with Princess Jiakang?"
Qin Youran said nonchalantly, "Not yet. His Majesty and the Queen Mother want to arrange the marriage between my eighth brother and Fourth Miss Rong first. My marriage to the Lu family should be next year."
Hua Fushu said, "The wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Miss Rong Si is scheduled for the sixth day of next month. The Duke of Rong's Mansion has sent an invitation to the Ye family, inviting us to attend the Duke of Rong's Mansion's wedding banquet."
Qin Youran said calmly, "My eighth brother's wedding to Fourth Miss Rong is scheduled for the sixth day of next month. Yesterday, my eighth brother came to me and asked me to be the best man at his wedding banquet. He not only asked me, but also my fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, as well as several young masters from aristocratic families."
Ling Zhiheng chuckled and said, "With three princes and a duke as best man, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's wedding banquet will surely be a lively one."
Qin Youran smiled and said, "Mr. Ling, if you want to attend my eighth brother's wedding banquet, I'll have my eighth brother send you an invitation."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Ling Zhiheng said, "I love lively places the most."
"Mr. Ling, we have known each other for a while and can be considered friends." Although Qin Youran and Ling Zhiheng had only known each other for a short time and had not interacted much, she was very envious of Ling Zhiheng's free and easy-going personality.
When the carefree Young Master Ling heard the King of Qin say that he considered him a friend, he immediately burst into joy. "I have also considered Your Highness a friend for a long time. Your Highness, please call me Zhiheng. Calling me Young Master Ling is too formal."
Qin Youran agreed immediately, "Zhi Heng."
Ling Zhiheng bared his white teeth and called out the King of Qin's name, "Zhao Youran."
Ye Zelin gently nudged Ling Zhiheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Zhiheng, are you planning to follow the ancients' example and make friends with everyone?"
Ling Zhiheng put his arm around Ye Zelin's shoulders and said, "Why not? You are also one of the people I have made friends with."
Ye Zelin pinched Ling Zhiheng's wrist and shook off Ling Zhiheng's hand with disdain, "I'm different from you in making friends with the world."
"Yes, you are different. We have known each other since we were young and grew up together. We are childhood sweethearts."
Ye Zelin looked at Ling Zhiheng with disdain, "Do you know how to use words? If it gets out, don't forget to say you're the master's disciple. It's embarrassing."
"I'm happy to." Ling Zhiheng didn't care about losing face.
Hua Fushu looked at the two good brothers playing together, lowered his eyes, sighed silently, and thought to himself, "You two should just be a couple!"
Qin Youran took two steps over and said to Hua Fushu, "Mr. Wan from Kaihua County admires your character very much. He's hosting a banquet at Lefeng Tower tomorrow and invited you."
Hua Fushu asked, "That Wan family member who sold you the herbs at a low price?"
"It's that Wan Dongjia." Qin Youran nodded. "He heard that you and I are friends, so he asked me to introduce you to him."
Hua Fushu suddenly looked at Qin Youran and stared at him straight.
Qin Youran was frightened by Hua Fushu's cold eyes.
Hua Fushu suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Wan is a businessman, he wouldn't lower the price for no reason. Are you selling me out just to buy medicine?"
Qin Youran felt a little uneasy and lowered her voice slightly, "No, it's nothing."
Upon hearing Qin Youran's words, Hua Fushu understood everything. She grinned and said, "Qin Youran, you really did sell me out. It seems I sold my status and position to you."
Qin Youran whispered flatteringly, "Little Flower, just consider it a favor for me. I'll give you a snow lotus later."
For Xuelian, Hua Fushu compromised and said, "Deal."
At this moment, a sharp and somewhat harsh voice sounded, "Zhao Yingyi, as the son-in-law of the Lu family, you are whispering with a married woman in public. This is not appropriate."
Who is this person?
He actually called the prince by his name?
Qin Youran and Hua Fushu looked in the direction of the sound almost at the same time.
Ye Zelin and Ling Zhiheng also looked over.
The man standing in front of them was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a green robe and dressed like a student.
All four of them knew this student. He was the third son of the Lu family, the young and promising son of the Shangshu Ling.
Qin Youran looked at Lu San coldly, "Lu Sanlang, who allowed you to call me by my name?"
Lu San glanced at Qin Youran and Hua Fushu with disdain, and said righteously, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin has done things that are unacceptable to others."
Hearing this, Qin Youran was extremely displeased.
Lu San glanced at Hua Fushu calmly, saying, "You're flirting with someone shameless."
Ye Zelin quickly stepped forward to Hua Fushu's side and said unhappily, "Lu San, keep your mouth shut!"
Hua Fushu was also unhappy at this. He didn't care whether Lu San was the son of Shang Shuling or not. He directly retorted, "Who I talk to is none of your business!"
Lu San found Hua Fushu's foul language very unpleasant to the ear. "Vulgar."
Hua Fushu replied, "Pedantic."
Qin Youran glanced at Lu San calmly and said to Hua Fushu, "Junior sister, be careful and don't lose your reputation."
Hua Fushu continued tactfully, "Brother is right. I will not lower my status."
Ling Zhiheng looked at Hua Fushu, then at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. He was really surprised. Are these two senior and junior brothers and sisters?
Sister Hua is the disciple of the Lord of Lanling City. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is also the disciple of the Lord of Lanling City?
He nudged Ye Zelin's arm with his elbow and looked at Lu San, who had the same expression as him. "Are my sister-in-law and the King of Qin brothers and sisters?"
Ye Zelin said: "Yes."
Ling Zhiheng asked again, "Sister-in-law and King Qin are both disciples of the Lanling City Lord?"
Ye Zelin replied, "Yes."
Ling Zhiheng asked again, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
"I know." Ye Zelin said.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Ye Zelin glanced at him sideways, "You didn't ask."
Lu San's face turned pale and he felt extremely embarrassed. He could never have imagined that King Qin Zhao Yingyi and Ye Zelin's wife were actually senior and junior brothers and sisters.
