Chapter 300: Random Matchmaking

On September 20th, the queen held a flower-viewing banquet in the palace and invited the rich officials to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers.

Although the invitation was in the name of flower viewing, everyone knew who this flower viewing party was for.

The princess had just come back. She was not familiar with everything in the Kingdom of Jin, and she didn't have any friends around her that she could talk to.

The Queen Mother is doing this to establish a good relationship between the noble daughter of the aristocratic family and the princess.

Jiang Yi received Ling Ning and the distinguished guests from the Kingdom of Mu at the Qinzheng Palace, while Yan Li only brought one Nanny Pan to the Royal Garden.

"I heard that the Second Highness has fallen in love with Miss Chu and plans to send someone to the Chu family to propose marriage. I wonder if Miss Chu knows about this?"

A group of young girls were sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden. They were wearing thick autumn clothes. Each of them was accompanied by a maid. They were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

"I have never heard my father mention this matter." A woman wearing an apricot-colored coat and skirt smiled warmly, as if she didn't know anything about it, "But my father doesn't really want me to marry the prince, so this matter It should be just a rumor." Tianlai Novel Network.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in blue across from him frowned and said, "I think the second prince is steady, progressive, responsible, and good-looking. He is a rare man."

The woman in an apricot coat and skirt smiled faintly: "I stay at home all year round and never leave the house. I don't know what the second prince looks like. Naturally, I have no way of knowing whether he is worthy or not."

"What Miss Chu said, are you trying to distance yourself from the second prince?" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl looked displeased, "The second prince is so talented, so many noble ladies in Kyoto admire him, so why does Miss Chu still look so disgusted? What does it look like?”

The woman in Xingyi's smile faded slightly: "Miss Rong should know how important the reputation of a daughter's family is. If you just talk nonsense here without saying a word about it, is it you who messed up the rules, or do I dislike the second prince?"

The face of the woman called Miss Rong turned cold: "Chu Qinqin, why are you so noble?"

"Elder princess, this woman is the daughter of General Rong." At the entrance of the garden, the nanny stood beside Yan Li and introduced the identities of several noble ladies to her. "She said these words to Miss Chu today because she wanted to represent the second prince. Testing the attitude of the Chu family, he even tried his best to bring the second prince and Miss Chu together. "

The defense between men and women in Jin State was very serious.

Once word spreads that the Second Prince is interested in Miss Chu, others will subconsciously think that there must be something between them, even if Miss Chu is nothing.

It just so happens that the prince has a noble status and is a man. In this kind of thing, it is usually the woman who suffers.

"The woman in blue clothes is called Qi Yao. She is the daughter of the official Qi Shangshu family. She is engaged to the eldest prince." Mammy's eyes fell on another woman in the pavilion. "The official department is an official who supports the eldest prince. Miss Qi and Miss Rong are still friends.”

Yan Li was silent for a moment: "The eldest prince and the second prince are competitors, but Miss Rong and Miss Qi are good friends?"

"Friendship between girls does not affect their stance." Nanny Pan said with a smile, "Who gets along well with someone depends purely on their temperament and whether they have a common goal."

Such as the current situation.

The common goal of Qi Yao and Rong Ning is Chu Qinqin.

Yan Li was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Furthermore, the Minister of Staff is Mrs. Kang's cousin." Mother Pan said calmly, "Although the Kang family is the backing of the second prince, the Minister of Staff did not turn to the second prince because of Mrs. Kang's relationship. What they supported was The eldest prince."

Therefore, relatives belong to relatives, and positions belong to positions.

But Yan Li heard one thing clearly. She brought down the Kang family in Yanling. Not only did she offend General Rong's family, but Master Qi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, would definitely hate her to death if he had a deep relationship with Mrs. Kang.

So the Qi family naturally didn't like her, the eldest princess.

Yan Li couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

Okay, it shouldn’t be a surprise.

After all, the forces between the DPRK and China are intertwined, and there are many nepotistic in-laws.

Bringing down a family will affect more than just this family.

I'm afraid there are countless people secretly waiting to teach her a lesson.

Yan Li walked towards the pavilion, with several thoughts running through her mind.

There is no unreasonable dislike between people, let alone between officials and their daughters.

Because today's enemy may be tomorrow's friend.

Before getting to know a person, it is naturally impossible to make a correct judgment based on superficial phenomena, so Yan Li does not intend to judge, but faces them head-on, and gets to know these noble ladies from aristocratic families who will definitely be involved with her in the future.

Yan Li walked up to the pavilion.

Several women sitting in the pavilion turned their heads and looked over, with a somewhat appraising look in their eyes.

"The eldest princess has arrived, are you ladies still sitting down?" Nanny Pan's expression darkened and she spoke coldly.

As soon as the words fell, several women stood up and said, "I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."

"No courtesy." Yan Li sat down at the head seat at the table, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Outside the pavilion, a maid came over with tea cups and placed refreshments in front of each woman.

Yan Li raised her eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "I just heard you talking about Miss Chu. Who is Miss Chu?"

Chu Qinqin stood up gracefully and bowed her knees: "My daughter, Chu Qinqin, is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Yan Li said in a gentle tone: "Miss Chu, there is no need to be polite."

"Reporting to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Chu Qinqin continued, "The marriage of the daughter's family follows the orders of her parents and the matchmaker. It cannot be accomplished by just a few little daughters talking together. I hope Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will understand clearly."

Miss Rong's face turned cold: "Chu Qinqin, what do you mean? Do you want to say that I criticize your marriage?"

"Miss Rong knows whether she means to criticize intentionally." Chu Qinqin said in a calm tone, neither humble nor overbearing, "If Miss Rong thinks that the second prince is a talented person, she can marry him herself, and don't involve me."

Rong Ning's expression changed: "Chu Qinqin, you——"

"That's enough!" Mother Pan's voice was cold, and she glanced at Rong Ning with a stern gaze, "The eldest princess is here, and Miss Rong is still yelling like this. How is it inappropriate?"

Rong Ning was reprimanded in public and was obviously very dissatisfied: "I used to speak in this tone. If I scared the eldest princess, I will apologize to Her Highness the eldest princess."

As he said this, he bowed his knees in a very perfunctory manner.

"Did you always speak like this before?" Yan Li held a tea cup in hand and smiled casually, "I can see that Miss Rong has a charming personality and speaks in an informal way."

As soon as these words came out, several other women looked at Yan Li with different expressions. They all looked at Yan Li, but they looked away for a moment. Some lowered their heads to drink tea, while others turned their heads to admire the scenery.

Rong Ning's expression froze and he looked at Yan Li in disbelief.

Eclectic?

Is this a good thing to say?

It clearly means that she doesn't understand the rules and is uneducated.

Because of the incident involving the Yanling Kang family, Rong Ning had preconceived hostility towards Yan Li and even wanted to give her a blow. Unexpectedly, he failed and was ridiculed by the newly returned eldest princess.

Rong Ning held a grudge in her heart, but she remembered that she was in the palace now, and it would not be good for her to make a big fuss.

Gritting her teeth, she suppressed her disdain and said humbly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, for the compliment. I dare not."

"The eldest princess is different from what we imagined." Qi Yao had a smile on her face, and there was a trace of undetectable contempt in her eyes, "I heard that the eldest princess knows some boxing and kicking skills, and Rong Ning happened to be from a general's palace. , I have been fond of wielding swords and guns since I was a child. I wonder if Her Royal Highness is better than Miss Rong? "
