Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 99

What I said was too blatant, I just said directly that you should choose me to be the wife of your Guan family, I am the most suitable.

Seeing that Princess Duanning's cheeks were flushed, Hui'an wanted to say no to that, making her already outstanding appearance even more charming, making people's heart flutter, even she felt itchy when she looked at it.

Hui An instinctively went to look at Guan Yuanhe, but seeing that he still had that ice face, and he didn't even look at Duanning, the corners of Hui An's mouth twitched.

In fact, Dahui's restrictions on son-in-laws are the most lenient in all dynasties, and the consorts of the Princess Shang are not like some dynasties where they can only hold empty positions in the court.Dahui's son-in-law does not stick to any official position, like Princess Chaoyang's son-in-law is now serving as the first-rank official minister of ceremonies and security, and can be called the emperor's confidant.

The children of the aristocratic families in the past dynasties were reluctant to honor the princess, mostly because they did not need to invite a princess back to support their facade, and if they came to honor the princess's children, it would be tantamount to cutting off their official career.But Dahui's son-in-law didn't have such worries, and the princess would make his official career smooth sailing, which also made Dahui's princess more popular than ever before.

Princess Duanning is so favored, anyone who wants to marry her can predict that she will be able to rise to the top of the official career, besides, Princess Duanning is outstanding in appearance, glamorous and charming, and all her thoughts are devoted to Guan Yuanhe, but he He was completely unmoved.This person is really a little heartless, Hui An secretly slandered him.

"According to the auspicious words of the princess, the third brother should marry me a noble and good-looking sister-in-law as soon as possible." Guan Lijie, the third girl of the Guan family, Guan Yuanhe's stepmother and younger sister, smiled.

As she spoke, she blinked at Princess Duanning pointingly. Princess Duanning glared at her, and quickly cast her eyes at Guan Baize's second wife, Cui Mingyue, seeing that her eyes were downcast all the time. As if he didn't hear what he said just now, he lowered his head in disappointment.

Seeing this, Hui'an couldn't help pursing her lips, thinking that the Cui family was originally the stepwife, not Guan Yuanhe's biological mother. If Guan Yuanhe welcomes another princess back to the mansion, she will not have the airs of a mother-in-law to put on. It still depends on the face of the daughter-in-law, Cui Shi might not want Duanning to marry into the Guan Mansion just because of this.

Mrs. Dingguo had a clear insight into Princess Duanning's thoughts, but she didn't reply when she heard the words, she just smiled and said.

"Okay, I don't care about you young ones today, I know you can't sit still, let's find a place to have fun, Sister Jie greets the princess and Miss Shen well."

"We are all very filial and virtuous women, and we are the most able to sit still. Grandma wants to chat privately with His Highness the Princess, and thinks we are an eyesore, so she wants to drive us away, but arranges for us. Sister Jie refuses. After Mrs. Dingguo finished speaking, Guan Lijie answered with a grin.

She is the concubine's daughter of the head of the Guan family. She has always been favored. She is pretty and fair.Now he looks annoyed, and his eyes are full of cuteness, which makes Mrs. Dingguo and Princess Tai laugh.

"Look at this girl who has such a temper, even grandma dares to complain to her face." Mrs. Dingguo smiled, but her face was full of doting.

"This girl is relying on her mother to dote on her, which makes her even more dishonest." Cui said with a smile.

Guan Lijie was talking, but she stood up, and the ladies of the Guan residence also got up one after another, and amidst laughter, they saluted and left.

Guan Lijie walked towards Hui'an after paying her respects, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Shen is a rare visitor, but the third princess often comes here, only you, this is the first time I have come back, last time I held a flower viewing banquet in the mansion I even posted a post for you, my sister didn't give me face, I have to ask for an explanation today."

"This is really wronged. It's not because An Niang didn't give my sister face. My sister should have heard that I am a rough person. The elegant things of viewing flowers have nothing to do with me. I don't want to insult my sister's beautiful flowers. Sister And forgive me this time, the next time my sister posts another post, and I will definitely come to bother you..."

Hui'an entered the Imperial College at the age of eight, and in the first year she was keen to attend various gatherings of ladies in Beijing, but she was illiterate and bad at piano and chess. Speaking ill of Shen Qing, angrily smashing the host's table, and almost hurting people, after getting a rough name, Hui'an lost interest in participating in flower clubs, poetry clubs and the like.

Seeing that Guan Lijie is a smart and generous person now, he smiled back and shook her hand begging for mercy.The two walked out, followed by Guan Lizhen, the fourth girl from the second room of the Guan Mansion, accompanied by Princess Duanning, followed by several concubine girls from the Guan Mansion.

Out of the hall, Guan Lijie smiled and said: "The sun looks bright today, but it's not warm. If not, we can go fishing in the garden, or go to the third brother's Qifengyuan for a couple of laps. It’s wonderful, but it’s a pity that the weather is not beautiful. It’s cold and chilly today. How about going to my yard to have a cup of hot tea and talk? I just got [-] baht old-fashioned pumpkins for tea from the old lady yesterday. , Let me borrow flowers and present Buddha as a host today. Eighth princess, sister Shen, how do you think?"

The pumpkin tea is a tribute tea. It is picked by young girls from Xijiao Mountain, such as the top Pu'er on Wufeng, and it is all first-class tooth tea. Due to the special environment of Wufeng, this kind of tea has a unique taste. , redder and brighter than ordinary Pu-erh soup, the aroma is more unique and fragrant, and the taste is more mellow and sweet.It is the best tea, and it is said that it can only produce two catties a year, which is very rare to see.Because this kind of bud tea will turn golden yellow after long-term storage, it is called pumpkin tea.

Even if she is as honorable as a queen, she can only get two taels of gourds for tea a year according to the harem quota, but Guan Lijie has half a tael of tea, which is enough to show her favored status in the Guan mansion.

Princess Duanning is the queen's favorite daughter, so she doesn't care for this tea. In addition, Guan Yuanhe stayed in the house to talk to Princess Tai and Mrs. Dingguo. Her words made her lose face, and she was too embarrassed to hang on.At this moment, I was already disappointed and annoyed, I didn't have the mind to play, I just nodded absent-mindedly when I heard Guan Lijie's words.

Hui'an is not a tea-savvy person either, thinking that Nanny Fang is probably teaching Sun Xinci the rules in the Qiulan Courtyard, she is a little worried about fear of accidents, and wants to go back home early, and she really doesn't want to drink pumpkin tea.But she saw that Guan Lijie wanted to show off that Princess Ning didn't want to give face. If she would lose face, she would definitely offend Guan Lijie.
