Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 69 She Hasn't Fallen in Love with Him Yet

Mrs. Wen was very angry when her own daughter, who was only a few years old, stared at her with resentment.

When she found out that her husband and sons didn't like Wan'er, she wanted to find fault with her own daughter even more.

She was determined to prove that it was her daughter's fault, and not that she, as a mother, was biased.

The more she wanted to prove it, the less she could, because her daughter was really outstanding and she did well in whatever she asked her to learn.

No one could find fault with her, so she simply gave up finding fault and openly favored Pearl.

She didn't know when it started, but the gap between mother and daughter became wider and wider. Her daughter avoided her, and she didn't have the energy to take care of her.

But she never dreamed that they would end up breaking off the relationship between mother and daughter!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen looked up at her biological daughter who was sitting in the front seat. She was shocked by the sight.

Her face is so delicate and charming, and the light makeup just outlines her perfect features, making everyone intoxicated by her.

How many years has it been since she last looked at Wan'er straight in the eye!
Wan'er's temperament is so outstanding that even her elder sister, whom she has envied, jealous of and hated for most of her life, is not half as good as her.

The eldest sister is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is worthy of being the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. Her temperament alone makes those concubines' daughters far behind.

I don’t know how much money and effort her stepmother spent to cultivate her temperament.

But her daughter had somehow become more outstanding in temperament than the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How come she didn't notice it?

No wonder the legendary serial killer treated her like a treasure. From his eyes, it was clear that he liked her very much.

At this time, everyone was standing and waiting for the emperor, but she could sit there and eat the snacks fed by the murderer.

She really didn't know that the murderer was so handsome, especially his straight eyebrows, high nose bridge, and the doting look he gave his daughter.

Her elder sister married the crown prince and became his princess consort. Unfortunately, the crown prince did not eventually take that position, and the prime minister's mansion also declined when the new emperor ascended the throne.

The year she gave birth to her second son, her father retired and returned to his hometown with his beloved concubine, while her stepmother lived in Shangjing City with her stepbrother and was unwilling to return to the countryside.

Her legitimate brother only held an idle position, so she had a hard time in the Wen family later on. Even their own daughter was not even dared to show any favoritism.

No one from her family came to attend today's palace banquet, so these people dared to be so disrespectful to her.

Just as Madam Wen wanted to loudly clarify once again that Wen Qingwan was her biological daughter, the eunuch sang loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

"The Second Prince has arrived, the Third Prince..."

Wen Qingwan quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up at the old acquaintances behind the prince, only to find that they looked very different from what she remembered.

In her previous life, with her as a punching bag in the Eastern Palace, the lives of Crown Princess Shen Ru, Concubine Li, and those concubines must have been so much easier.

With Wen Mingzhu, his true love, by his side in this life, the prince’s life will not be any easier than theirs.

You can imagine it from the fatigue that cannot be concealed even by several thick layers of foundation.

Concubine Li's beautiful fox eyes revealed endless sadness and despair, as if the whole world was collapsing.

The Crown Princess was half a step behind the Crown Prince, and Concubine Li was half a step behind the Crown Princess. However, Wen Mingzhu smiled and walked with the Crown Prince, holding his arm.

Only Wen Mingzhu could embarrass the Crown Princess in public, and do so with a smug look on her face.

Wen Qingwan could guess with her toes that Wen Mingzhu had exchanged a lot of favorability cards to confuse the prince.

But she didn't want to waste her mind-reading talisman listening to her inner drama. It was all messed up nonsense that was out of tune with this era.

In her previous life, Wen Qingwan really didn't know that Wen Mingzhu had traveled from another world. She just thought that Wen Mingzhu was spoiled by her father and brother and became rebellious.

Although the Crown Princess was not the prettiest in the East Palace, she was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family after all, and her temperament alone was unmatched. It was said that when the Crown Prince asked to marry her, it caused a sensation, and their love was once a good story.

The Crown Princess was also the Crown Prince's beloved for several years. It can be seen from the fact that she gave birth to two sons and one daughter that the Crown Prince once liked the Crown Princess.

Although the prince at that time was also sentimental, he had no true love in his heart, and the backyard of the East Palace was relatively harmonious.

Concubine Li also gave birth to a daughter and a son, several concubines in the Eastern Palace gave birth to sons and daughters, and the concubines also gave birth to children.

Ever since the Crown Prince fell in love with Wen Mingzhu, he has become increasingly cold towards the Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince's indifference also made the Crown Princess realize one thing: it is not bad to treat each other with respect throughout your life.

So she cut off the prince's offspring, and it was impossible for Wen Mingzhu to have children in this life.

This was what the Crown Princess told Wen Qingwan before her death. Since she married into the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince had never given birth to a child.

Wen Qingwan thought that the prince was unable to have children because of excessive indulgence. After all, it was common for him to favor several beauties in one night.

One day, when Wen Mingzhu runs out of favor cards and the prince removes the skin of the favor cards, everything beautiful will be shattered...

Wen Qingwan was looking forward to that time. She had to earn more merit points so that she could enjoy the big melon.

She looked away and saw Minister Wen and his family looking at their daughter (sister) eagerly.

Unfortunately, Wen Mingzhu didn't even glance at them, she was busy acting coquettishly with the prince.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"The Empress is here."

"The royal concubine has arrived."

After the emperor said a few polite words, the banquet officially began. The court band played melodious music, and the beautiful music echoed in the palace banquet hall.

The food served at the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet is even more mouth-watering, with all kinds of delicacies filling the banquet table.

There are roast duck, glutinous rice, rice dumplings, mugwort chicken, etc., which are delicious and appetizing.

It was the first time that Wen Qingwan saw the emperor in a healthy state. Although she was also a concubine in her previous life, the prince hated her.

The prince would rather bring his concubine than her to any palace banquet, and even the tea-serving ceremony would be skipped, not to mention the royal family banquet.

The only time she saw the emperor's face was when he passed away. At that time, she was second only to the emperor in the Eastern Palace and above everyone else.

When the emperor was young, he was a famous and romantic figure in the capital. Even though he is old now, he has not gained weight and is still slim.

Although he has a beard, it cannot hide the angularity of his facial features. His every move and gesture is full of the elegance of a scholar, and he can still charm millions of girls.

No wonder, every three years there are many young ladies who have just come of age and are willing to enter the palace to be the emperor's women.

After the emperor sat down, he glanced at Xiao Jin vaguely. He was gently helping his wife peel rice dumplings.

I still remember what Xiao Jin said when he asked for the imperial decree to grant marriage: "She is the love of my life. I love her very much. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

When he looked at her, his features were gentle and affectionate, with deep affection hidden in his eyes. When the woman looked at him, her beautiful eyes were also gentle.

Such an outstanding man, any girl would like him very much!
If Xiao Jin knew what the emperor was thinking, he would definitely object that she had not fallen in love with him yet.
