Chapter 126 You and the Prince are the best match
Huaying continued to practice calligraphy with her head down, while Qinghe began to check the gifts for the prince's wife. When she saw the jade pendant that Prince Yan had given her some time ago, she looked at the young lady with a smile, "Miss, in my opinion, Prince Yan must be interested in you, otherwise he would come to send you gifts every few days, from flower seeds to daily paintings and calligraphy, and medicinal herbs for illnesses. He just likes our young lady," Qinghe said proudly.
Huaying dipped the pen in ink and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The prince is kind and just remembered the kindness I gave him in saving his life."
Qing He couldn't help but say, "Prince Yan is indeed an excellent person. Our young lady is so good, it's natural for the prince to like her."
Huaying, who was writing, smiled and looked up at Qinghe, and said, "Stop joking and check the gift for the prince's wife carefully." Qinghe then shut up and checked it carefully.
The sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day for getting married.
The streets of the entire Chang'an city were filled with a festive and lively atmosphere. People were talking about the eldest prince's marriage and looking forward to the grand wedding. At the same time, as the year was coming to an end, the whole country was celebrating, and everyone from officials to ordinary people were immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
At the same time, Huaying came to the door of the prince's mansion with carefully prepared gifts.
The guard respectfully took the invitation and verified it, then invited them in.
Led by a maid, Huaying came to a hall specially used to receive female relatives, and handed the gifts she brought to the nanny in charge.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Huaying, long time no see." Huaying turned around and saw Prince Yan standing in the flower hall not far away. He was wearing a dark brocade robe, which made him look even more handsome and elegant.
"Greetings, Prince." Huaying bowed slightly with her knees bent.
"No need to be so polite." Prince Yan said with a smile, "I heard that you were not feeling well some time ago, and I thought I would not be able to see you today."
"Sister Sumu and I are destined to be together. Even if I feel a little unwell, I should come to congratulate her on her wedding day." Huaying replied with a smile.
"You're not fully recovered yet. Go into the inner room." Prince Yan looked at Huaying deeply, with an imperceptible affection in his eyes. He turned around and ordered the maid in the mansion to bring Huaying a hand warmer.
"Huaying?" Another exclamation came from behind. Huaying turned around and saw that it was Princess Zijin. She ignored the doubts and anger in her eyes and saluted calmly, saying, "Hello, Princess!" She then said, "Just now I was waiting for the Princess at the alley entrance of the Prince's Mansion for a long time but she didn't come. After asking around, I found out that the Princess came early in the morning, which is why I'm late."
Huaying took the initiative to avoid giving her an excuse to cause trouble.
The princess came over quickly, took her hand and said, "Look at what you said. We are sisters, right? No one blames you. I went to see you some time ago and found out that you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"
Huaying raised her head and looked at the princess calmly. "After saying goodbye to the princess in front of the jewelry store a few days ago, I fell ill when I got home. Thanks to the princess, I have recovered now."
The princess still had a smile on her face, and said kindly: "Sister, you are so lucky! It's freezing outside, and you have just recovered from a serious illness. Let's go in early." Huaying glanced at the princess, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and nodded.
The princess took Huaying's arm affectionately and said to her in a low voice: "Huaying, I heard that the Prince of Yan will return to Yan in a year. The emperor seems to be arranging a marriage for him and us. The women in the capital all say that the prince is elegant and talented in both civil and military affairs, and is an ideal candidate for a husband. I saw you two standing together just now, you really match each other very well, don't let others snatch such a good man away from you."
Huaying's heart sank, and she naturally understood what the princess meant. But she didn't want to cause trouble at Su Mu's wedding, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "Princess, don't you know? Everyone says that you and the prince are the best match!"
When the princess heard this, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "I have someone I like. I will ask the emperor uncle to arrange a marriage for us someday. You also know this person."
Huaying was a little surprised that she said it so bluntly in public, but she still smiled and congratulated the princess.
At this moment, Fu Shiyan came over, bowed to the princess, looked at Huaying and said, "Miss Shen, my sister Shi Nuan has been looking for you everywhere. If she wants to talk to you, please follow me."
Huaying nodded, informed the princess, and followed Fu Shiyan into the banquet hall.
At this moment, the princess stared at Fu Shiyan's back, tearing the brocade handkerchief in her hand with all her strength, and said to the maid beside her with gritted teeth: "Go ask Master Zhang Tian if the jade pendant is finished, and ask him to send it to me quickly!"
