Chapter 44 The Crown Prince and Several Princes Will Be Present

Gu Nianchu was a little amused: "Is the old lady threatening me? If I don't invite all the families in Kyoto City to see Shen Jiao, will you divorce me?"

"The old lady can try."

Seeing Gu Nianchu's stubborn attitude, Old Madam Shen was almost mad to death.

Just at this moment the doorman brought a reply, and Nanny Li took it and was so happy that she forgot the rules.

"Madam, great news! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has sent an invitation and agreed to attend the banquet!"

Old Madam Shen was overjoyed: "Great, really great! Quick, spread the news!"

Even the extremely powerful Prince Qi, His Royal Highness Zhou Yuchen, is coming to the banquet, so other families have to consider their own weight!

Gu Nianchu knew exactly why Zhou Yuchen came. She had been avoiding Zhou Yuchen these days, and this guy took the opportunity to come to her.

Rolling his eyes, Gu Nianchu stood up and left.

Back at Haitang Garden, Gu Nianchu called Han Chan: "Go ask His Royal Highness Prince Qi what he wants to do. Is he deliberately trying to go against me?"

Han Chan waved her hands repeatedly: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will definitely not deliberately go against you. He must have his own considerations. Don't worry, I will go right away."

Han Chan left, and Gu Nianchu's face looked a little ugly.

Aunt Tian calmed her down: "Miss, don't be angry, when the time comes we will..."

She lowered her voice and spoke to Gu Nianchu, who smiled: "Madam Tian, ​​you are really thoughtful."

Chilling came back soon.

"My lady, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi said that he agreed to come to the banquet to give you a great gift. You just need to watch the show when the time comes."

Han Chan reported with an expressionless face. She almost cursed the Prince of Qi in her heart. Wouldn't this just make her eldest daughter's guess anxious?
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi deserves to lose the eldest lady’s favor.

Gu Nianchu nodded and let Han Chan go down to rest.

Han Chan was a little confused. After she left Gu Nianchu's room, she couldn't help but pull Chunlan to ask, "Sister Chunlan, what does the young lady mean by this? Does she believe it or not?"

Chunlan smiled and said, "Han Chan, our eldest lady naturally believes in His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

After getting confirmation from Chunlan, Han Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Chan muttered, "I was originally a secret guard, but now I have to be responsible for my master's love affairs. If I say something wrong and make the young lady unhappy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will not forgive me."

The General's Mansion sent someone to pick up Gu Nianchu and bring him back to the mansion. Gu Nianchu packed up and went back with everyone.

Mrs. Gu hugged Gu Nianchu and treated her with affection for a long time before she sat down and talked properly.

"The Marquis' Mansion wants to show Shen Jiaoxiang a family?"

Madam Gu asked Gu Nianchu, and Gu Nianchu nodded: "Yes, they have high aspirations."

Mrs. Gu and her daughters-in-law all burst into laughter.

"Your mother-in-law is really a fool. How dare a poor family covet the prince? What can their family do to help the prince?"

Gu Nianchu said disdainfully, “Who knows, they might promise that if I marry their daughter, the General’s Mansion and the Duke’s Mansion will help me in the future.”

This is something that someone from the Marquis' Mansion could do.

The three daughters-in-law of the Gu family all expressed their opinions that they would never go to their parents' homes and would not give the Marquis' Mansion this face.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law two, sister-in-law three, please ask the three sisters-in-law to invite the family members to come to the Marquis' Mansion to watch the show when the time comes."

Gu Nianchu bowed to the three sisters-in-law, who hesitated for a moment before responding: "Sister, are you planning to teach them a lesson?" Gu Nianchu shook her head. Liu was in charge of the general's household, and she was the first to react: "Sister, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will be at the banquet, right?"

Before Gu Nianchu could say anything, Madam Gu said, "Well, since Chu'er invited you to the Marquis' Mansion to watch a play, then go."

It's just a banquet anyway, there's no need to give gifts.

Duke Xie's Mansion also sent people to ask Gu Nianchu's opinion, and Gu Nianchu naturally invited them to watch the show.

The Shen family has been in high spirits these past two days.

Ever since they knew that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi would come to the Marquis's Mansion for a banquet, many mansions sent invitations again, indicating that they would come to the banquet at that time.

Old Madam Shen arranged for Xu Yan to make clothes and jewelry for Shen Jiao, making sure that Shen Jiao would be the most beautiful among all the other girls and catch the prince's eye. In the future, she would be the prince's consort and could be called the queen.

"Yan'er, help your sister more. When the time comes, we will have Jiaojiao to support our mansion, and we won't have to consider the faces of the Gu family and the Xie family. When the time comes, we will divorce Gu, and you will be Ling'er's legal wife. Let's see who dares to look down on you!"

Old Madam Shen was very proud of herself. A hint of disdain flashed across Xu Yan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"Yes, mother."

Old Marquis Shen and Shen Ling have dared to go out for social events in recent days. Everyone has been very flattering to them for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

Some people even secretly inquired whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi really wanted to marry Shen Jiao.

If the Zhenbei Marquisate becomes the in-laws of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, then there will definitely be a place for the Marquisate in the capital city in the future.

Xie Yuan and Xie Jinghong accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to drink tea.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said sternly, "Third brother, what are you going to do in the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion?"

Zhou Yuchen nonchalantly played with the teacup in his hand: "If you want to make someone make a mistake, you have to make him crazy. The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has been suppressed too much by the General's Mansion these days, so I naturally have to give them some confidence."

Xie Jinghong was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yuchen's words: "Your Highness Prince Qi, you actually want to help the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"

The prince was very calm: "Jinghong, the third brother must have his considerations, you don't have to worry."

He knew very well how the third brother felt about the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

Now that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is still in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, the third prince is getting a little restless.

Xie Jinghong frowned: "Does my cousin know about this?"

Zhou Yuchen said seriously: "The eldest lady has already sent someone to ask this king."

Since his cousin knew about this, he didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Jinghong stood up and bowed to Zhou Yuchen: "Your Highness Prince Qi, I am sorry for my offense. Please forgive me."

Zhou Yuchen took his arm and sat down: "Jinghong, no need to be polite."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought for a moment and said, "I also want to watch the show. Third brother, do you mind if I go as well? Don't worry, Third brother, I will bring Jinghong with me when the time comes."

Zhou Yuchen laughed out loud: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going too, it really gives face to the Zhenbei Marquisate. I think the Zhenbei Marquisate will definitely be very happy."

The Shen family was very busy because they received another piece of news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to the Marquis' Mansion in person for a banquet.

When the Shen family heard the news, they almost went crazy with joy.

They were even speculating what the Crown Prince's purpose was in attending the banquet. They didn't dare to think about the position of Crown Princess, but they thought that even the position of concubine would be acceptable.
