Chapter 606: Qing Xiu's Fate

For a moment, the ladies had only one thought in their minds:

No wonder so many people in Beijing were trying so hard to marry into the Yu family.

Zhu Yaoxu suddenly noticed something and said, "Huh?" "... Future Third Sister-in-law? Wait, Mr. Xiang, did your Third Brother say anything about her?"

Princess Qing'an couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Xing Xing said openly, "I haven't said anything about him yet. But my third brother always has his own ideas. As family members, we just support him and don't know anything else."

Zhu Yaoxu said "Oh" and looked thoughtful.

Princess Qing'an began to feel uneasy again.

Should she...urge her mother to quickly arrange this marriage?

She is not the only one in Beijing who wants to marry Yu Yongliu.

Princess Qing'an blushed and her heart beat fast when she thought of this, and then she felt a little worried when she thought of that.

It can be said to be a girl's thoughts, like wind, mist and clouds.

Perhaps it was the cat's eye stone jewelry that opened up the atmosphere, and the noble ladies asked Xing Xing if they could take a closer look at the cat's eye stone.

Xing Xing was very generous. She simply took off both earrings and handed them to the ladies who were very interested in the cat's eye stone.

The ladies were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

While the noble ladies were gathered together to carefully observe the cat-eye stone earrings, Princess Qing'an, like a thief, suppressed her blushing face and asked Xingxing in a soft, cat-like voice, pretending to be natural: "...Did your third brother tell you anything else?"

Asking this question was like asking a thief, and Princess Qing'an blushed and her heart beat fast.

Xing Xing also leaned close to Princess Qing'an's ear and whispered, "My third brother didn't say anything else, he just told the princess to wait for him."

Princess Qing'an's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt. She stood up suddenly, fanned her face with her hands, and muttered, "This weather is too hot..."

The man took a few steps toward the ice chest.

After admiring the cat's-eye stone earrings, the noble ladies reluctantly returned them to Xing Xing.

"It's just like the eyes of a fox slave. It can change color in the sunlight." A noble lady said excitedly.

A noblewoman suddenly started to tease Zhu Yaoxu, and said with a smile, "Yaoxu, you just asked the county lord whether her third brother had said he would marry her. Do you want to be the county lord's third sister-in-law so that you can get those cat's eye stone jewelry?"

Although Zhu Yaoxu was lively and cheerful, she was still a girl after all. When she heard people teasing her like this, especially when it touched a secret corner of her heart, her face suddenly turned red, and she stamped her feet and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'll tear your mouth to pieces!"

As he said this, he chased after the young lady and started playing and laughing with her.

Everyone was having a great time when a maid came to report that the cousin had arrived. He came over to say hello to Princess Qing'an and then left.

Princess Qing'an smiled and nodded, explaining to everyone: "Cousin Sheng has been traveling outside for some time and has not returned to Beijing yet. He passed by here and heard that my mother was vacationing at this manor, so he came to say hello to us."

The ladies understood.

Although there are strict rules for sex now, the capital city is actually quite open-minded. Sometimes, as long as a man and a woman are not alone in a closed space, other things don't matter so much.

What's more, with so many people here, it's not something we need to be "on guard against" at all.

Not long after, a handsome young man in blue came walking over. He was very handsome, even more delicate than many of the girls.

Especially there is a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, which adds a touch of charm and mystery to his appearance.

Several noble ladies and even Zhu Yaoxu were stunned.

"I have met the princess."

This young man in green looked amorous, but his voice was not frivolous at all, but rather very pure and upright.

Princess Qing'an obviously liked this cousin very much and said with a smile, "Cousin Sheng is being polite to me again."

Sheng Kairan smiled slightly, and then bowed modestly to the noble ladies under the awning: "Hello, ladies. Sorry to bother you."

When he saluted, his eyes were always looking downwards, avoiding the ladies, and he did not look around randomly. He was very polite and considerate.

The noble ladies returned the gifts one after another, saying that the young master was very polite.

It can be seen that Princess Qing'an has a very good relationship with Sheng Kairan. The two chatted for a while before Sheng Kairan left.

Just now everyone was making fun of Zhu Yaoxu and Yu Yongliu. At this moment, Zhu Yaoxu rolled his eyes and joked with a smile: "Mr. Sheng is really handsome, Princess~"

She raised the last syllable of her voice and smiled with an attitude that everyone understands.

Princess Qing'an said helplessly: "Yao Xu, stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Yaoxu tilted his head and said, "Princess, I didn't say anything."

Seeing that Princess Qing'an was upset, she chuckled and surrendered: "Okay, don't worry, Princess. It's my fault for making jokes."

Princess Qing'an said helplessly, "I'm not upset. My cousin had a fortune-teller tell him since he was a child that he has no marriage destiny and is destined to live a life of seclusion. That's why my aunt and my mother both feel sorry for my cousin. So let's forget about some jokes."

When Zhu Yaoxu heard this, she felt guilty and apologetic, saying, "I'm sorry. I was too frivolous. I won't say that again next time."

Another noblewoman exclaimed, "This fate is somewhat similar to that of Miss Wei Er."

She couldn't help but look at Xing Xing. According to the legend, the fate-changing tower of the "killed by the lonely phoenix" Miss Wei II suffered a backlash, and it was Lord Fusui and her master who helped to turn the danger into safety. It can be said that they saved the entire family of the Prince Jiping's Mansion.

When the noble lady mentioned Wei Shuangyan, Princess Qing'an also sighed.

That’s right. After all, Wei Shuangyan is also her cousin.

Her cousin Gu Luan was killed, and her cousin lived a life of seclusion, which was not easy for both of them.

"By the way, I seem to have heard a few days ago that the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Xin is currently arranging a marriage for the Second Young Master Yu?" A noble lady sighed and could not help but look at Princess Qing'an.

Princess Qing'an naturally sided with Wei Shuangyan. Her eyebrows were raised: "Ah? Is this true?"

The noblewoman nodded repeatedly: "That's right. The person I met was my cousin from my mother's family, but I don't know what happened afterwards..."

Princess Qing'an's brows furrowed even deeper: "What is Second Master Yu's attitude?"

Princess Qing'an had naturally heard about the affair between Yu Chong'en and Wei Shuangyan.

Wei Shuangyan will never be able to get married in her lifetime. Yu Chongen has waited for her for five years. Now that it is impossible for her to get married, it is only natural for him to look for someone else.

But... no matter what, Princess Qing'an still found it hard to accept emotionally. After all... Wei Shuangyan was too miserable.

The noblewoman shook her head: "I don't know what Mr. Yu's attitude is. However, since the two of them can no longer be together, it is reasonable for Mr. Yu to discuss marriage again."
