Chapter 344 Guiyuan Cannot Marry into the Feng Family
Interrupted like this, the second sister naturally withdrew her hand and did not take the lantern.
Yu Wangong was also somewhat stunned and did not move for a moment.
Du Zhirong was overjoyed and stepped forward to embrace Yu Wangong, saying with a smile, "Brother Wangong, Xiaoxia likes this lamp. You wouldn't be reluctant to give it to her, would you?"
"How could that be?" Yu Wangong reacted quickly. "Xiaoxia likes it? Then your uncle will give you the lamp. What else do you like? Tell your uncle, okay?"
Xiaoxia was overjoyed to receive the lamp and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle. You're the best, Uncle."
Du Zhirong's originally happy face suddenly darkened.
Oh no, he was here first, but it seems that Yu Wangong has not only won over Miss Si's heart, but also made her daughter happy.
Oh no, he's at a disadvantage now.
The two young men on the other side tried their best to make their second sister and Xiaoxia happy.
Over there, Si Muyan was helping Princess Roushu speak, and they heard that they would be leaving the capital in a few days.
Princess Roushu handed her the completed letter of introduction: "Just give it to your supervisor."
Si Muyan thanked her and said, "They will also be returning in a few days, and they happen to be going in the same direction. I wonder if it would be convenient for the Princess's caravan to bring a few more people and cars?"
“That’s convenient,” Princess Roushu said with a smile. “That’s perfect. When we get back to Yuncheng, they can go directly to choose a site. If they have any questions, they can just ask your brother-in-law.”
Si Muyan was very happy.
Having run a business before, she knew that any merchant, no matter where they were, would find it difficult to grow their business without powerful backers. This was true even in familiar places, let alone for Zhu Lao Er and his group, who were going to Yuncheng, a place they knew nothing about.
Du Shangge handed Xiaoxia'er over to Du Zhirong, and was then pulled behind by his younger sister to whisper something.
"Shangge, let me ask you something." The younger sister touched her face. "Why do all the young men like my second sister? Is it because my eldest sister and I aren't pretty enough?"
Upon hearing this, Du Shangge couldn't help but burst into laughter, pinching her younger sister's cheek: "Aren't you beautiful enough? The women of the Si family are known as the Three Beauties of Kyoto, how could you not be beautiful? Although your second sister is the most outstanding, you are triplets, so you're naturally quite similar."
The younger sister pouted: "But whether it's the young master or the lady sending invitations to our house, they always ask the second sister the most."
Du Shangge's eyes darted around: "Mu Wan, are you lovesick? Let me tell you, my fifth brother isn't married yet. He's my own brother. Are you happy about that? If you are, I'll go back and talk to my aunt and mother..."
"Oh dear, I don't want to." The younger sister quickly covered her mouth, muttering in dissatisfaction, "I was just saying, I don't want to get married at all, marriage is too much trouble."
Du Shangge didn't dwell on whether she wanted to or not, but said with the same helplessness, "I think the same way you do, I don't want to get married either. But I know that my aunt has already found someone for me. When my mother came back this time, my aunt brought out a lot of portraits of potential husbands for her to choose from..."
The younger sister was taken aback: "So eager for you to get married?"
Du Shangge nodded: "Yes. That's why I'm actually quite envious of you. You don't have any elders to restrict you, so you can choose any kind of husband you like. By the way, have you ever thought about what kind of husband you like?"
The younger sister feigned ignorance and shook her head: "I haven't thought about it... As long as the person has good character and a decent family background, that should be fine, right?"
"you're right."
The younger sister was just giving a perfunctory answer; she didn't really mean it that way.
She felt that men meant nothing, love was fleeting, and power was the most nourishing thing for a woman!
She had to marry the most powerful man in order to get what she wanted.
The group of people walked along the road in three separate groups, strolling leisurely without getting tired.
Guiyuan followed behind Guishan, listening to the Crown Prince and Guishan's casual conversation. In the past, she would have definitely played the supporting role and been a good backer for her sister, so that the Crown Prince would look at her sister with even more admiration.
But today she had something on her mind, and she kept glancing up, wondering if her mother had informed the Feng family or what arrangements they had made.
The Crown Prince and Gui Shan chatted amiably. Every now and then, he would glance at Gui Yuan and ask, "Second Miss, is something the matter? Why do you seem so distracted?"
"Oh? No." Gui Yuan quickly said, then smiled, "I just overheard His Highness and my sister talking and felt that you two seemed to be on the same wavelength, so I was too embarrassed to disturb you."
Her sweet words pleased the Crown Prince considerably.
Just then, Feng Zizhou walked over from the intersection and happened to see them.
He greeted them warmly: "Your Highness, Miss Gui, Miss Gui, you've come to admire the lanterns too?"
He was naturally outgoing, and having grown close to Guiyuan lately, he felt completely at ease. He walked over to Guiyuan, looked her over, and asked, "Are you going to follow them to the lantern festival? Wouldn't that be boring?"
Gui Yuan smiled and said, "What Fourth Young Master Feng said is right, but it's not quite appropriate for me to be alone. I wonder if Fourth Young Master has time to accompany me?"
She was poised and confident, without the slightest hint of embarrassment, as if she had genuinely only asked the Crown Prince and her sister to stroll through the lantern displays alone.
Feng Zizhou, without any suspicion, nodded and said, "Of course."
But sometimes, his mouth beat his brain, and he even asked the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, why haven't I seen you accompanying Miss Zuo to the lantern festival?"
One sentence made all three people present extremely embarrassed.
The Crown Prince's primary wife is destined to be Zuo Xiangwan. Even if Gui Shan is by the Crown Prince's side right now, Gui Shan can only be a secondary wife.
Everyone knew the truth, but no one wanted to bring it up. At least for now, the Crown Prince was happy to stay by Gui Shan's side, and Gui Shan was the apple of his eye at that moment.
Seeing the Crown Prince's dark expression and her sister's embarrassment, Gui Yuan quickly coughed and said, "Fourth Young Master, I heard there's a lantern riddle guessing game over there, with good prizes. Shall we go and try it?"
Feng Zizhou immediately realized his mistake after speaking, regretting that he had spoken too quickly and couldn't keep things to himself. Now that Gui Yuan was giving him a way out, he was naturally happy to accept it.
He immediately bid farewell to the Crown Prince and left with Gui Yuan.
Watching their retreating figures, the Crown Prince hesitated before asking, "Does the Gui family want to form a marriage alliance with the Feng family?"
Gui Shan smiled and said, "My parents have this idea, but it's not confirmed yet. Young Master Feng is quite lively, so we'll have to listen to his own opinion."
The Crown Prince frowned: "The Feng family are loyal subjects; there's no need to win them over."
Upon hearing this, Gui Shan lost all color in her face.
Since the Crown Prince said that, he must have already decided on his sister's marriage. Otherwise, what business is it of his who his sister marries?
Gui Shan quickly adjusted her mindset and said gently but firmly, "His Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent and has no need to win over anyone. It should be said that the court officials know how to assess the situation and will take the initiative to surrender."
The Crown Prince was clearly pleased by her words, but still said, "Guiyuan cannot marry into the Feng family."
