Yun Shu still stood there in a daze until Jiang Shi gently and carefully helped Yu Tanqi onto the carriage of Wu'an Marquis Mansion and drove away.
Most of the guests at Prince Yun's Mansion had already arrived, so there were only some coachmen and servants waiting for their master to come out at the door. They lowered their heads, not daring to look at the expression of the most beautiful woman in the capital.
They were all servants of powerful families, so they naturally knew that Princess Yun had been infatuated with Prince Jiang for many years. It was a pity that the goddess had feelings for him, but Prince Xiang was ruthless.
When Yun Xuan came out, he saw Yun Shu's distraught look, sighed softly, and reached out to rub her head.
"Today is your birthday, be happy."
Yun Shu looked up at him, her delicately made-up face unable to hide her disappointment and sadness. "Brother, I don't understand. Jiang Shi and I have known each other for many years, but I can't compare to Yu Tanqi, who I have only known for a short time. Is it because they are engaged?"
Yun Shu felt upset when she thought that Jiang Shi only had eyes for Yu Tanqi.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth, feeling very unwilling.
"I knew Jiang Shi first, but I don't believe he fell in love with Yu Tanqi so quickly."
Yun Xuan sighed softly, "Prince Jiang is a man who keeps his promises. You should have known this a long time ago. He has always said that he has a fiancée and will only have one wife in the future."
Because of this, Yun Shu became even more determined to get Jiang Shi.
Apart from her brother Yunxuan, in the huge capital city, any man with a little money and status would want to take a few concubines, let alone the sons of powerful and wealthy people.
"That's why I like him so much. Only a man who is so chaste is worthy of being my husband."
Yun Shu looked at Yun Xuan with pleading eyes: "You must help me, I just want to marry Jiang Shi. If I can't marry him, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
Yun Xuan smiled slightly and said lovingly, "You are my only sister, so I will naturally help you."
Yun Shu finally smiled. Since she was a child, her brother had always promised her that there was almost nothing he couldn't do, so she trusted him very much.
Yun Xuan said, "Okay, today is your birthday. Put aside your worries. You will definitely get what you want. Let's go in."
"Um!"
Yun Xuan asked Yun Shu to go back first. He turned around and looked in the direction where the carriage of Marquis Wu'an's Mansion left, his eyes deep.
Everyone thinks that the Prince of Wu'an is a fool, but Yun Xuan doesn't think so.
If Jiang Shi was really a fool, he would not have survived until now.
The Prince Yun's Mansion was bustling with activity. Many people were still discussing why Prince Jiang suddenly took his fiancée away. When they saw Yun Xuan and his sister walk in, they changed the subject in time.
Yun Shu raised her snow-white and slender chin, and there was no trace of gloom on her beautiful and delicate face. She was still the proud and ostentatious Princess Yun.
Many men felt a little excited when they saw her like this, and couldn't help but whisper to their companions.
"Princess Yun is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital. She is becoming even more beautiful."
"If I could be lucky enough to marry her, I would be willing to spend the whole day with her eating, drinking and having fun."
"You really don't want to suffer any loss."
"Hahaha……"
"But Princess Yun only has eyes for Prince Jiang. I guess we don't stand a chance."
"Doesn't Crown Prince Jiang have a fiancée? And it seems Crown Prince Jiang loves his fiancée very much. And there's no way Princess Yun would marry him as a concubine. There's definitely no chance for them."
"I think it's quite possible for Princess Yun and I..."
"Are you worthy enough?"
A male voice suddenly rang out. Several people frowned and looked up, only to see a young man in bright yellow brocade clothes looking at them unexpectedly. Startled, they quickly bowed in a flattering manner.
"Greetings, Sixth Prince."
Gao Yan said coldly, "A gentleman should be careful with his words and actions. You guys are talking about Princess Yun here. Your behavior is truly shameful."
The orange-clad man who had said he wanted to marry Yun Shu felt a pang of anxiety in his heart. He slapped his cheek and said, "I was confused. I drank a little and said nonsense when I was drunk. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."
Others also apologized sincerely.
These noblemen who usually acted arrogantly, spoke without restraint and behaved eccentrically had to bow down in front of the real emperors, for fear of being hated.
The Sixth Prince is the Emperor's most beloved prince. If he turns around and says something to the Emperor, causing their father's family to be angered, they will be in trouble.
"If I hear any more gossip..." Gao Yan gave them a cold look.
Several people tensed up instantly and nodded and bowed quickly.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will not speak nonsense again."
Gao Yan turned away and left.
Several people looked at his back cautiously, and the man in orange couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is truly arrogant and domineering."
The other few people slowly straightened up and returned to their previous arrogant and unruly appearance.
"That's right, it's just that he has a good father." It's really enviable, why didn't they reincarnate into the royal family?
…
In the carriage, Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi.
The girl sat relaxed, her brows relaxed, her soft lips as red as petals.
Because she was going to a banquet, she put on a layer of lip balm before going out today to make her face look better.
Jiang Shi suddenly asked, "What did Prince Yun say to you?"
Yu Tanqi said truthfully, "He asked me why I came to the capital and whether I was afraid of you. I told him that we were engaged since childhood and that I'm not afraid of you because you're really nice."
She would always defend him unconditionally and firmly.
But is he really as good as she says?
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Prince Yun?"
"What?" Yu Tanqi was a little confused.
Jiang Shi's Adam's apple rolled, but he finally lowered his eyes and said, "Nothing."
The boy's pale lips were bitten unconsciously, leaving a white mark.
Yu Tanqi said subconsciously: "I didn't even look at him carefully, I don't remember what he looks like."
Jiang Shi loosened his lips, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his expression softened.
Yu Tanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that this might be an inexplicable contest between the hero and the villain.
No matter how gentle and kind Jiang Shi is, he is still the male protagonist Long Aotian, and he has the strange desire to win that all men have.
Men’s psychology is like that of children. They are easy to coax. Just praise them.
But don't praise too much, otherwise the flattering corners of your mouth will not look good.
The carriage that was moving smoothly suddenly began to shake and the carriage became turbulent.
Yu Tanqi was unstable and about to fall down. Jiang Shi quickly reached out and held her in his arms.
"What's going on?" he asked in a deep voice, frowning.
Danqing, who was sitting in front of the carriage, immediately replied: "Master, this horse suddenly became disobedient."
He took the reins from the coachman and tried to rein in the brown horse that had inexplicably started running wildly.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Yu Tanqi was held tightly in Jiang Shi's arms, trying to think calmly about the original plot.
But in the original novel, the male protagonist did not go to Princess Yun’s sixteenth birthday party, and there was no plot during this period.
Yu Tanqi's heart was beating fast and his face was pale.
