Chapter 462 Response
Zhuge Congfeng put down the flute in his hand, looked in the direction Qin Huiyin left and said, "If Huan'er was still alive, she should be this age, right?"
Puyang Qiubai looked over sharply and said, "Of course Huan'er is here."
"Yes, I mean, have you ever thought about what Huan'er will look like? Your father is a famous handsome man, the most handsome man in the world, anyone who sees him can't walk, and even you have only inherited 50% of his true beauty. Your mother is also a famous beauty. The child born from the two of them should not be worse than this little girl. I remember that Huan'er, who was just over one year old, was already a beauty praised by everyone."
"I wish she wasn't so beautiful. If she was too beautiful and had no one to protect her, it would be a disaster."
If it was the former Puyang family, they would certainly have raised her with great care, protected her under their wings, and married her to Zhuge Congfeng, who was of equal status, when she came of age. However, the Puyang family was gone, and the Zhuge family was gone too. She became a floating duckweed without a master, and no one knew where she had drifted to.
In the years when no one protected her, she could only hope that she would look ordinary and not become a prey to greedy people.
"It would be great if she was Huan'er." Zhuge Congfeng said.
"How could she be Huan'er?" Puyang Qiubai frowned.
"If she is Huan'er, it means that our Huan'er is growing up well, with people loving her, protecting her, and accompanying her. Isn't that great?"
Puyang Qiubai lowered his eyes: "Yes, but how can there be such a lucky and beautiful thing in this world?"
Before Qin Huiyin even approached the lobby, she heard Princess Yuanying's voice making things difficult for the servants.
"Master Tang is at least a fourth-rank official. Don't you even have decent tea in your house? Or are you deliberately neglecting this princess?"
"Princess, calm down." Qin Huiyin walked into the hall. "My humble abode is simple and cannot compare to Prince Zhong's mansion. The tea they drink in the mansion is given by the emperor. If we in the Tang Mansion had that, we would probably be targeted by the people of the Censorate."
Princess Yuanying looked gloomily at Qin Huiyin opposite her.
Ever since she became disabled, she couldn't help but want to destroy these glamorous and beautiful girls of her age.
In terms of status, she is the daughter of heaven. Why is she living such a miserable life, while those women who are not as good as her are so full of vitality and sunshine?
Especially this Qin Huiyin, for some reason, I just want to tear this face off.
When she marries into the Tang family and becomes her sister-in-law, she will make sure that this face never smiles again.
"My princess, I'm honored to see you. What can I do for you?" Qin Huiyin sat down next to Princess Yuanying.
"How dare you!" Princess Yuanying's maid shouted angrily. "How dare you sit down when the princess hasn't told you to?"
Qin Huiyin looked around and said in surprise: "Isn't this my home? I have to get other people's permission before I can sit down in my own home. Isn't this against the rules? What do you call this? Well, the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest."
"You..." The maid was furious. "Princess, the second young lady of the Tang family is really rude."
"Her last name is Qin, not Tang, so of course there are no rules." Princess Yuanying looked at Qin Huiyin coldly, "Miss Qin, I have already made an engagement with your brother. When I marry you, you have to respect me as your sister-in-law. From now on, not only will I have a higher status than you, but I will also have a higher generation than you. Whether you can sit down or not really depends on whether I agree."
"The princess came here specially to announce this news, so don't worry, our whole family has received the imperial edict. Does the princess have any other instructions?"
"Since I have an imperial marriage contract with Mr. Tang from your mansion, I am the mistress of the Tang Mansion. Your shabby mansion must be renovated, otherwise how can it be worthy of my status?" Princess Yuanying said, putting a blueprint on the table. "This is the blueprint I asked the Ministry of Works to design. You should renovate the Tang Mansion according to this blueprint. When the renovation is completed, my bridal sedan can be carried into the Tang Mansion."
Qin Huiyin didn't answer.
She held the cup and took a sip of tea.
If she didn't drink the tea, she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress her anger.
Although the imperial marriage contract had been concluded, the Tang family had not yet said they wanted to marry her, but she was eager to interfere in the Tang family's life.
"Are you unwilling?" Princess Yuanying saw that she didn't accept it, her eyes were full of anger. "I heard that your Tang family is quite wealthy, and repairing the mansion is not a big deal for you businessmen who are full of money, right? Or are you dissatisfied with this imperial marriage and unwilling to repair the mansion according to my wishes?"
"Your Highness, you are too kind. This mansion is not my brother's official residence, so there is no need to renovate it. If the princess marries you, she will definitely arrange a bigger and better mansion for you. From now on, this mansion will be where my mother and my brother's father live. For the two of them, this mansion is barely livable, and they don't need to spend any more time and money."
"You mean to say that this county lady married here and will not live with her mother-in-law and father-in-law, but will live alone with Lord Tang?"
"That's right. Newlyweds should have their own little space. Although you are a princess, you still have to pay respects to your mother-in-law and respect your parents-in-law when you marry into the Tang family. If your mother-in-law and father-in-law are dissatisfied with something, you, as a daughter-in-law, have to find the reason in yourself. Isn't it inconvenient to think about it this way?"
Princess Yuanying was somewhat tempted.
Yes! Although she can suppress the Tang family with her status as a princess, they will also suppress her as her parents-in-law. If it gets out that the daughter-in-law is disrespectful to her parents-in-law, even if she is a princess, she will still be criticized by others.
Her father has been warning her recently to stop causing any more trouble, lest Prince Zhong's Mansion become too ostentatious and make the person in the palace unhappy, which would then implicate her brother at the border.
The empress dowager in the palace also warned her that the emperor's agreement to the marriage was a sign of his love for her. Tang Yichen had a bright future and was so handsome. She was infertile and had a disability. Now only a princess could be worthy of him.
It was because of these words that she knew that marrying into the Tang family was a foregone conclusion. Even if she looked down on the Tang family's humble commoner origins, she could only accept her fate.
Apart from other things, the Tang family is wealthy. Such a large food street is run by the Tang family. As the hostess of the Tang family, that money will sooner or later fall into her pocket.
Thinking of this, she wanted to renovate the Tang house as soon as possible so that she could live comfortably when she got married.
"Which house do you plan to use as my wedding house?" Princess Yuanying said, "I will choose it myself. If you are not satisfied, you will have to rebuild it for me."
"You are right, Princess." Qin Huiyin's eyes flashed with a strange color. "You are a princess, we must find a good place to live with you. Don't worry, Princess, we will find a place that will satisfy you."
It would be better if she didn't get married!
It just so happens that they don’t know how to postpone the wedding date. Isn’t this a ready-made excuse?
