Chapter 47: The Crown Prince Came with His Fiancée

Liu's words made Xu Yan and Old Madam Shen very angry. Old Madam Shen blurted out: "Madam Gu, who can bully the eldest daughter of your general's mansion? She beats her husband and her sister-in-law, and even I, the mother-in-law, speak ill of her at every turn..."

Shen Jiao rushed over and grabbed Madam Shen’s collar: “Mother, mother!”

Today is a good day for her to date. If she quarrels with the Gu family and ruins today's banquet, she will never be able to find a good family again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several princes will be here soon. Why is mother making trouble with them at this time?

When Old Madam Shen saw Shen Jiao's pleading eyes, she finally came to her senses. She couldn't fall into the Gu family's trap. She had to find a good future for Jiaojiao today. She was not angry!
Madam Shen swallowed her words abruptly. Seeing that the Gu family and the Xie family were about to argue with her, she bent down and apologized to them: "Oh, I am really old and confused. Nianchu is the daughter of a general, so she is naturally different from the daughter of a scholar. I am sorry, ladies. I hope you can forgive me."

The young ladies of the Gu family and the Xie family ignored her. They all looked at Gu Nianchu. As long as Gu Nianchu said a word, they would teach the Marquis' Mansion a lesson today!
Gu Nianchu apologized to the sisters-in-law and cousins ​​one by one: "Sisters-in-law, please take your seats. We won't listen to the barking of dogs."

Old Madam Shen was so angry that her upper and lower lips trembled constantly. This was calling her a dog in person.

Shen Jiao's fingernails dug into Old Madam Shen's palms, forcing her to smile and invite people to the table.

Only three young ladies from the Gu family came, and only two young ladies from the Xie family came. But even so, no one dared to underestimate them. Both their husband's families and their own families were enough to make people pay attention to them.

"Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi are here!"

Nanny Li ran over happily to report, and Old Madam Shen was overjoyed: "Jiaojiao, hurry up, go and welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Old Madam Shen looked Shen Jiao's appearance up and down, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, she let Shen Jiao go to receive the guests.

The women around immediately started sneering in front of Old Madam Shen.

"This Marquis's Mansion is really unrespectable. They actually let their own daughter openly go to meet a man from another family."

"This is not just a mad desire to climb the social ladder."

"I don't care about my face anymore."

Madam Shen naturally knew that this was against the rules, but so what? If she missed this opportunity, her beauty might be lost.

"What do you know? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king and we are all subjects. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi are here. What's wrong with us going to pay our respects?"

Old Madam Shen spoke very confidently. No matter what others said, she took Shen Jiao to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

The mistress of the eldest young master of the Xie family whispered in Gu Nianchu's ear: "They are destined to be disappointed. Xi Lan accompanied the Crown Prince."

This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.

The people from the Gu family and the Xie family were just waiting for the Shen mother and daughter to be embarrassed.

Soon, a message came from the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the prince's cold voice came in: "Ladies and young ladies, please don't be polite. I sent Miss Xie here. Please forgive me for disturbing you all."

"Lan Lan has a quiet personality. I am afraid that someone might bully her, so I came here specially to ask you to take care of her."

Zhou Yukun didn't think there was anything wrong with his lies, and everyone agreed in unison. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said to the aloof and noble Xie Xilan beside him: "Xilan, I will pick you up when you leave." "Your Highness, don't worry about me. I will go back with my two sisters-in-law."

Xie Xilan smiled lightly, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted: "Xilan, I brought you here from Madam Xie, so of course I have to send you back home."

The two of them started flirting in front of all the ladies in the courtyard. Who were they trying to slap in the face?
Don't talk about the difference between men and women at this time.

Madam Shen said it clearly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the monarch, so naturally whatever he does is right.

The eldest lady of the Xie family coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely take good care of Sister Xilan."

This is to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that that’s enough. This is the backyard. You should leave quickly.

Only then did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reluctantly leave with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

"Thank you, Madam Young Master. It looks like Miss Xilan's wedding is coming soon."

The ladies who were close to the Xie family started chatting with them with a smile. The wife of the eldest son of the Xie family said with a smile: "The Saint has already issued an order to grant marriage, and is waiting for Xi Lan to come of age before marrying him."

Before anyone could congratulate Xie Xilan, Shen Jiao suddenly rushed over and said, "Impossible! How could such a big thing not have any news leaked out!"

Everyone stared at Shen Jiao. Was the third young lady of the Shen family a fool?

"Miss Shen San, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning my false imperial decree? Besides, does the emperor have to tell you when he issues an imperial decree to grant the marriage? Who the hell are you?"

The mistress of the eldest son of the Xie family questioned Shen Jiao in a cold voice. Shen Jiao's eyes were blank. She glanced at everyone and said, "Madam Xie, that's not what I meant. I just think it's weird."

The ladies around were too embarrassed to look at her. Originally, a few ladies thought that the Marquis' Mansion at least had relatives like the Gu family and the Xie family to help, and they had thought of finding a wife for their second son. But now, seeing Shen Jiao's behavior, they gave up the idea.

Madam Shen stepped forward to make amends: "Madam Xie, please don't blame me. We really haven't heard of it. Jiaojiao is straightforward and just wants to ask for everyone. Please don't bother with Jiaojiao."

Madam Xie sneered, "Madam Hou, why don't you send a letter to the palace to ask the Queen?"

How could Madam Shen dare to do that? She apologized quickly.

Madam Xie did not argue with her any further. She smiled and said to the other ladies, "Ladies, the officials from the Ministry of Rites just came this morning to convey the decree that the Marquis' Mansion will hold a banquet today. After all, it is the in-laws of our sister Nianchu. We have not had time to hold a banquet to celebrate. Please forgive us."

Everyone thanked Xie Xilan in unison, and no one paid any attention to the Shen mother and daughter.

The blind date party that the Shen family had spent a lot of effort preparing for ended up being a celebration party for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xie Xilan.

Shen Jiao was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Old Madam Shen was afraid that she would say something that would make people laugh, so she hurriedly took her to her room and gave her some advice.

"Jiaojiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not someone you can dream of. Aren't His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and the Ninth Prince also here? Wait..."

Old Madam Shen leaned close to Shen Jiao's ear and whispered. Shen Jiao hesitated for a moment, biting her lower lip and said, "Mother, that Prince Qi is too old. I choose the Ninth Prince."

Madam Shen reached out and poked her head: "Jiaojiao, although His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is older, he is now extremely powerful. If you become the Princess of Qi, who would dare not give you face?"
