Chapter 147
It was the fourth prince who was waiting for guests in the front yard. He saw that the faces of the guests at the door were a little strange, so he walked over curiously. He happened to see Su Chengying whispering something to Dongfang Yuebai, who was leaning over. Listening.

Just by the tall and slightly bent figure, I don’t know how many female relatives from Beijing were staring at her inside and outside.

The fourth prince looked at this scene, not to mention how dazzling it was.

Are you blocking the door to thwart him?

"In public, even if you don't consider your own feelings, you should also consider the feelings of others." The fourth prince did not mention his name, but everyone knew who he was targeting.

Dongfang Yuebai straightened up following the sound, glanced at the fourth prince at the door with his faint eyes, and smiled lightly, "The emperor is still in his prime now, why does the fourth prince always look so old-fashioned?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a deathly silence in front of the fourth prince's mansion!

They had long heard that this young master never paid attention to any rules and etiquette, but no one expected him to be so bold and say that he was older than his father in front of the fourth prince...

You don't know how to avoid suspicion when you curse, right?
The fourth prince prided himself on his noble bloodline and never bothered to argue with people outside the royal family, but at this moment, he was so angry at Dongfang Yuebai that he almost trembled on the spot, "Dongfang Yuebai, you are so brave!"

Dongfang Yuebai seemed to have a headache from the fourth prince's powerful voice. He stroked his forehead slightly for a moment and then said, "Your Highness is so ridiculous."

Fourth Prince, "..."

Who said he was praising him!

The old lady walked forward a few steps and said, "My grandson has been spoiled by me, and he has no sense of propriety all day long. I hope that His Highness, the Fourth Highness, will not be on the same level as him."

"Auntie Huang's words are serious. It's not that big of a deal in the first place." The fourth prince lowered his voice.

The old lady married into the Duke's palace when the late emperor was still in power. Although the current princes only know the old lady's identity but have no feelings for her, they still have to give her the face they deserve.

The old lady looked at Dongfang Yuebai and said, "Okay, the people have been delivered, you can go and do your work."

Dongfang Yuebai nodded, then turned around and left, not even intending to say a polite word to the fourth prince.

The old lady had a distinguished status and could not stay at the door for a long time. She nodded to the fourth prince and took Su Chengying through the door first.

The fourth prince was left standing alone at the door, calming his breath, and others with dark faces did not dare to approach.

Su Chengying followed the old lady through the front yard, and as soon as she stepped into the backyard, the fourth prince and concubine, who was dealing with other female guests, came up to her with a smile.

"I've met my cousin." The fourth prince's concubine said with a respectful smile, but her haggard face could not be covered up even with thick powder.

Su Chengying was stunned. The fourth prince's call to the old lady as aunt must have come from the emperor, and the fourth prince's concubine obviously had some other relationship with the old lady.

The old lady looked at the fourth prince's concubine with a somewhat loving look, "You have worked hard to run the fourth prince's mansion these years. If your grandfather and grandmother saw it, they would definitely be pleased."

The fourth princess lowered her eyes and said, "Although my grandfather and grandmother are from a branch, they have never wanted to stray too far from the main clan. No matter how many invitations I have made over the years, my grandfather and grandmother have never wanted to leave Chengzhou." If Su Chengying remembers it correctly. , Chengzhou is where the old lady’s family is.

It seems that the old lady's father accidentally saved the life of the late emperor who was on patrol incognito. The late emperor was very grateful and selected the old lady from among his daughters and brought her into the palace to be canonized as a princess.

Su Chengying looked at the fourth princess again, never expecting that she was from a branch of the old lady's family.

Of course, Su Chengying didn't think this was a coincidence. The fourth prince's mother-in-law had always been a minion of Concubine Liu Ren. The fourth prince married someone from the old lady's lineage. Even if they were distant relatives, they were still related to the old lady. In addition, the eldest lady Liu has already married into the Duke's mansion...

It is clear that he wants to take the Duke's Mansion into his hands bit by bit.

However, the mother-in-law of the fourth prince would never have such a mind to prepare for a rainy day. I am afraid that all this was done step by step by Concubine Liu Ren.

But there was one thing that Su Chengying couldn't figure out. Today's Guogong Mansion has long lost its glory. Why did Concubine Liu Ren make such a careful plan for an empty nobleman?

In the back garden, other guests kept coming in. As today's host, the fourth prince and concubine couldn't be careless. After saying a few words to the old lady, they were busy receiving other guests. .

Su Chengying glanced at the back of the fourth princess, and saw that her thin body was only a little wide at the waist. Although it was not obvious under the thick coat, she couldn't hide the clumsiness of her walking.

Su Chengying's heart sank slightly, and she felt like something was wrong.

"I said, why does it look so familiar? It turns out to be Princess Ya Rong!" A harsh laughter sounded, and then an old woman in her sixties was seen slowly walking around surrounded by a group of noble ladies. Come.

The old lady frowned slightly. It had been many years since she heard someone calling her to close her account. She looked at the person and said calmly, "Old Madam of the Hu family."

On the contrary, the old lady of the Hu family held her hand in an unusually cordial manner, looked up and down for a moment, and then looked at Su Chengying aside, "I heard that Princess Yarong came to the banquet with her grandson daughter-in-law today. I want to come to this place." Is she the princess from the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

Su Chengying didn't respond when her name was called on her. She smiled and nodded. Unexpectedly, the next second, Mrs. Hu's old lady stretched out her hand.

"I have long heard that Princess Shengtang has superb medical skills. Since I have the fate to meet Princess Shengtang here today, I have to let Princess Shengtang diagnose my pulse. I have been having a bad appetite recently and I can't cheer up..."

This old lady from the Hu family was really very rude. She didn't even ask Su Chengying if she wanted to, and just talked about her condition. She had a posture of saying that since I stretched out my hand, you must show it to me.

The old lady's brows furrowed even more, "If the Hu family's old lady wants to seek medical advice, she can just go to my Dongfang family's shop."

The old lady of the Hu family made a smile and said, "If I go to an unknown pharmacy for consultation with my status, wouldn't I be laughed at? Princess Yarong won't be so stingy that she won't even let your grandson-in-law check my pulse, right?"

During the late emperor's reign, the Hu family had a favored noble concubine. Although she died of illness without giving birth to an heir to the late emperor due to poor health, the late emperor had always missed the noble concubine and specifically awarded the Hu family a title before his death.

Although the old lady is a princess, she is only the adopted daughter of the late emperor. Now that Mrs. Hu has a noble concubine in her family, she has no fear even against the old lady.
