I won't let the king succeed

Chapter 77 You Are a Gentleman, Why Are You a Thief"

"Old lady, his surname is Zhang." Zhang Zhen'er's eyes were red, and she never thought that the old lady would attack her natal family.

"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If it weren't for the surname you said Zhang, grandma would have killed you with a stick to save face." Ms. Chen added a knife-like sentence, remembering what the Zhang sisters said at the beginning. I don't have any grudges against my tutors, so I am very happy!
Concubine Zhang Guifei's face was livid and ugly, she gave them a cold look and hurried away.

"Farewell!" The second prince hurriedly saluted and Zhang Zhen'er followed closely.

"Come here," the old lady didn't care about their departure, the aunt smiled and looked at An Mengjie: "You're making a fuss, you girl should let the old man take a closer look."

An Mengjie smiled, and went forward to bow deeply. From the old lady's rumors, she had long felt sincere admiration for this woman in the feudal dynasty who was able to defy the imperial power and control her own destiny.

"When is the bright moon, ask the blue sky for wine, you wrote it?" The old lady stepped forward and took her hand, with surprise in her eyes.

An Mengjie shook her head in embarrassment. Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair

.The old lady in front of her proved the point of view that time has never been a beauty, she is still elegant and calm, with the same eyebrows and eyes.

"It's quite modest." The old lady patted her hand lovingly: "Heroic and generous. I am really happy to meet a girl like you in my lifetime!"

"I'm far behind. The old lady is too good, like the moonlight, it's so bright that it blinds my eyes." An Mengjie smiled.

"Yo, little Y is very good at talking." The old lady couldn't help laughing.

"Mother, look at grandma, she doesn't have such a thing. With the little princess, she doesn't even have her own granddaughter in her eyes." Ms. Chen joked with a smile.

"Hehe...you are the only one who is jealous, come on..." The old lady waved to Miss Li and Miss Guo enthusiastically: "Come here, children, come to me with Jiaer."

"It makes mother happy." Mrs. Chen said with a smile to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu.

"Yes, it seems that the old lady likes them very much." Mrs. Li looked at her daughter happily.

"Yes, being with them makes me feel younger." Madam Liu pursed her lips.

"Mother." Master Chen stood up a little awkwardly: "I still have things to do, so I'll go out first."

"Go, go, business is important..." The old lady waved her hand.

Master Chen nodded to everyone and walked out.

The old lady glanced at the shy Miss Li who was about to say something: "Suxin, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu, you should go too, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, are you all gone? They don't feel at ease when you are here."

"How old are you? Are you sure?" Seeing them walking away, the old lady held Miss Li's hand again with interest: "These two girls are pretty good."

"Old Ancestor, I..." Miss Li blushed so much that she seemed to be pinching water.

"Grandmother, you are here again. When you see the little girl, you are about to propose marriage. You turned around and scared away Miss Li and the little princess." Miss Chen said angrily.

"Okay, I won't mention it... I won't mention it." The old lady smiled, "The little princess and Miss Li sit on both sides of me, Jiaer, you and Miss Guo sit here, closer to the old man..."

"This little girl is not bad." The old lady's expression was very happy, and she ordered people to bring over plates of exquisite pastries: "Eat them all, you are welcome, I don't want to go home when I am full!"

"Old ancestor, I'm not a child." Ms. Chen pouted.

"Why are you not a child, and you can't stop your mouth from eating?" The old lady glared at her intentionally and angrily.

"Grandmother, you are really bullying me..." Ms. Chen pretended to stomp her little feet.

A burst of laughter came from the warm pavilion.

"Old lady, it's time to rest." The girl Linglong said.

"It's rare to be happy today, so don't spoil the fun." The old lady said.

Miss Li next to her was careful, she was afraid of delaying the old lady's rest, so she had an excuse to have something to do with An Mengjie and Miss Chen, so they left together first.

An Mengjie thought that the banquet would end in such a hurry, so she followed everyone out of the warm pavilion.Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the stairs, he heard a loud voice calling from behind: "Little princess, please stay."

Although she only called "Little Princess" to stay behind, everyone stayed behind and turned their heads together.

Mr. Lian walked over with a clear demeanor, gentle and elegant, and personable.With a slender and tall figure, as if he didn't care about so many eyes on him, he walked straight to An Mengjie and smiled slightly: "Little princess, if you don't mind, would you like to accompany me down the corridor for a walk?"

Not to mention that this noble son of the well-known General Lian Po, even if he is just an ordinary man, there is no reason to refuse such a request. An Mengjie took a look at him, and whispered something to the ladies in a low voice. After saying a word, he accompanied Mr. Lian to the corridor outside the pavilion room.

As soon as he arrived at the corner, Mr. Lian gave a deep salute suddenly, and said sincerely: "My little princess, I have been waiting for you at Duke Chen's mansion for a long time."

"What are you waiting for me?" An Mengjie was taken aback. Mr. Lian, who was usually looked down upon by everyone, was suddenly so solemn. Could something have happened?
Mr. Lian's deep gaze focused on An Mengjie's face, "I didn't see Princess Rui in the Duke's Mansion today, isn't it strange, little princess?"

"If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. It's quite strange." An Mengjie thought about it, without giving the slightest explanation for what others said.

Mr. Lian's expression became colder and colder, "The last time the Empress Dowager held a banquet for Concubine Chun, Concubine Ning was punished. I'm afraid of Princess Rui. So I ask the little princess to help me find out."

"Just asking, Mr. Lian has great powers, why do you ask me?" An Mengjie said in surprise.

"Because of your poems, your words, your views that are different from others, and my feelings for Rui'er... I'm afraid of being criticized." Mr. Lian blushed a little on his cheeks.

"If you don't know lovesickness in your life, you will only love it, and you will hurt lovesickness." An Mengjie didn't expect that this Mr. Lian would be in such a mess, that he would ask herself to be a matchmaker.

Shocked, he glared at her.

"Am I wrong?" An Mengjie said.

"If you don't know lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will suffer from lovesickness?" He forced a smile at her: "That's really good."

"That's right, so last time you deliberately let the Chen residence hold a banquet just for your lovesickness?" An Mengjie sighed: "You are a gentleman, why are you a thief?"

"You gentleman has become a thief?" Suddenly a man came out, clapping his hands and laughing.

"I just said that the little princess is a temperamental person." Another man said, shaking his fan.
