Chapter 12 Being able to eat is a blessing
The man in blue leading the way was Su Huachang. He was slender with a handsome face, and his every move exuded a scholarly air.
Prince Rong, the Crown Prince, the eldest prince and several young masters followed closely behind, and after stopping, they greeted Old Lady Su one after another.
How could Old Madam Su really dare to accept the gift? She let her maid help her stand up and return the gift.
The ladies and young ladies present also bowed to them one after another. Prince Rong, dressed in a red robe, did not even look at the others and sat down on the armchair beside him first.
Yan Muxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Whether the rich kid in front of her was pretending or really didn't see her, the grudge between them should be completely over.
After calming down, she also had the mind to look at the others. Except for Su Huachang and Prince Rong, whom she had met before, the identities of the other gentlemen could only be distinguished from the way they greeted her.
The eldest prince was tall and strong, wearing a purple dragon robe and had a rebellious demeanor. Among the people present, the eldest prince was only somewhat polite to the old lady.
The one in the azure blue clothes is the prince. He has a gentle and scholarly air, and is somewhat similar to Su Huachang. His lychee eyes and smiling lips show that he is a good-tempered person.
At the end of the observation, Yan Muxi actually discovered that there was someone she had seen before.
The young man in black who followed Prince Rong that day was actually the third prince of the dynasty.
Compared with the noble and unruly first prince and the gentle and graceful crown prince, the third prince was far inferior. It was not that the third prince's appearance was mediocre, but he was not outstanding among the young masters who all had their own merits.
The princes of every dynasty have always been divided into high and low levels. Emperor Yuanjing ascended the throne at the age of 20 and has just entered his forties. He has a total of nine princes and five princesses. Currently, the only adult princes are the eldest prince, the crown prince and the third prince.
The eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, has been the most favored concubine in the harem for many years. His maternal grandfather, Marquis Weiyuan, holds military power in southern Xinjiang. He himself is the eldest prince and enjoys a unique dignity in Dafeng.
The prince is the legitimate heir to the throne. His mother is from the Xue family, a century-old aristocratic family. He has the support of upright scholars, so his position as crown prince is stable and not easy to be taken away.
The third prince's biological mother was of humble origin. She had spent nearly twenty years in the harem and gave birth to princes and princesses. Today, she is still an inconspicuous noblewoman.
With his mother out of favor and no capable relatives to rely on, the Third Prince was a nobody in the harem and the court and was rarely mentioned.
It was the same at this time. The Third Prince was dressed in plain black clothes. After the greeting, he stood aside without saying a word. At first glance, he looked like a servant.
The mistress of the Su family, Xue, is a sister of the current queen. Su Huachang and the prince are cousins. The prince studied in the Su family's mansion school when he was young, and has a childhood sweetheart friendship with Yan Muqing, who grew up in the Su family.
The prince couldn't take his eyes off Yan Muqing, who had grown into a graceful young lady after not seeing her for a year.
Yan Muqing stood obediently beside Old Madam Su, without even raising his eyelids.
She didn't dare to look, for fear that if she did, she would lose control of the tears that were being suppressed in her eyes.
Nor can she watch. The prince is now bright, wanton and high-spirited. He cannot be harmed by her anymore.
They will no longer meet in this life and will live their own lives well. The prince's life will definitely not end as miserably as in his previous life.
Old Madam Su coughed lightly, and the prince came back to his senses, realizing that he had just lost his composure, and his ears turned slightly red.
"Brother Chang, please entertain all the distinguished guests well and don't treat them badly." Old Lady Su said with a smile.
Su Huachang bowed in response and asked a few people to go out.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Yan Muqing. His eyesight was not good, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly because he was standing far away.
I thought I would see a blurry silhouette this time as before, but unexpectedly my cousin happened to look up at me.
When their eyes met, the cousin actually smiled at him, and her smile was several times more beautiful than the plum blossoms in the garden.
His heart seemed to be swinging back and forth and unable to return to its normal position, beating wildly "thump, thump, thump".
Old lady Su, who was old and wise, smiled as she saw everything.
Qing Jie'er was the child she raised herself. She knew how smart she was better than her own mother. If the girl didn't have that kind of intention towards Chang Ge'er, she would never do anything that would cause Chang Ge'er to misunderstand.
After watching them leave, the conversation and laughter in the hall resumed as before.
The core of every flower banquet is to find a date for one's own children of marriageable age. Among the three marriageable-age girls of the Yan family, only Yan Muqing is really popular.
Yan Muyun was a concubine's daughter and was too beautiful, so she did not meet the standards of various families for choosing a daughter-in-law.
Yan Muxi's in-laws are not presentable. People of higher status than the Yan family look down on her, and those of lower status cannot enter the Su family's banquets. It is not easy for them to get along with each other.
Since her own daughter would have no trouble finding a husband, Su thought that she would have to let her other two daughters show their abilities if they wanted to succeed.
Her eyes fell on Yan Muxi, but she couldn't think of any advantages of the second daughter.
Seeing that the topic was about fortune, Su Shi quickly took over the conversation, "Among the five girls in our Yan family, the second girl Xi Jie'er is the most fortunate one. She has a big heart and a good body. The other sisters can't compare to her."
Unexpectedly, someone actually started talking to her. Lady Yongchang replied with a smile, "That's right. Your second young lady has ears higher than her eyebrows and a plump figure. She looks like a blessed young lady. If a family marries your second young lady, it will be a great blessing to them!"
Yan Muxi shuddered and said quickly, "Yes, my daughter can eat and drink. She has at least three bowls of rice and two bowls of soup per meal. Isn't she very lucky!"
The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is just a Marquis' Mansion in name only, but now it is probably dilapidated and only an empty shell remains. It is obvious that they are interested in a descendant of a merchant like her because of her money.
Besides, there are only two adult males in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. The legitimate son has already married, and the illegitimate son is a notorious playboy who lives a life of debauchery. He has a bunch of illegitimate sons and daughters before he gets married. She would be stupid to become someone's stepmother.
The wife of the Yongchang Earl felt very uncomfortable, but she still responded, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Miss Yan's great blessing is still to come!"
Yan Muxi thanked him with a smile, ignored the gazes of others, reached out to take a piece of plum cake and started eating it.
Su's face flushed red. She glanced at Yan Muxi and completely gave up the idea of finding a date for her.
"Greetings, Old Madam Su!" Along with a high-pitched female voice, a tall girl in pink rushed in.
The maid behind him was panting, and beads of sweat appeared on her nose in the cold winter.
Old Lady Su was so frightened that her heart tightened. When she saw who was coming, she covered her chest and scolded with a smile: "Did the Gu family girl get chased by a dog? You are running so fast and you don't act like a girl! Where are your elders? Why didn't they come with you?"
"I'm following behind!" The person who came was Jiahe County Lady Gu Yuelan. She stuck out her tongue, bowed hurriedly, and jumped to Yan Muxi's side.
"Finally I see you. It's so boring to stay in the house. Come on, let's go out to the garden for a walk."
Yan Muxi originally wanted to say hello to Su before leaving, but before he could swallow the pastry in his mouth, his body was pulled far away.
When the two of them went out, they ran into the women of Dingbei Marquis's residence. Madam Gu laughed and scolded Gu Yuelan, "You naughty boy, where are you going now that you just walked in?"
"Ah~ I finally got to go out. Grandma, please don't nag me. I'll pick the most beautiful plum blossoms for you to put in a vase. Now let's go!"
The two of them jogged all the way, and only after they entered Merlin did Gu Yuelan slow down her pace.
Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and asked, "Yan Muxi, do you think it's a good idea to marry Su Huachang?"
