SFS Chapter 141 Wen Chuyao Comes
Chapter 141 Wen Chuyao Comes
The banquet was boring, and there was a family across the street that kept casting disgusting glances at him. Yu Tingwan was annoyed and decided to go out for some fresh air.
"I'm going to get some air."
Shen Chenli nodded and asked Qingzhu to follow.
As they walked out of the hall, the noise inside gradually disappeared. Yu Tingwan saw a pavilion not far away and walked over with Qingzhu.
"It's cold at night, Princess. How about I get you a cloak?"
Yu Tingwan shook his head, "Qingzhu, you can't be too far away from me."
This puzzled Qingzhu, "Why?"
“This is the law!”
Yu Tingwan smiled mysteriously, "I'm coming out of the banquet. Those who don't like me will probably come to frame me or kill me in a little while!"
Seeing Qingzhu suddenly looking a little nervous, Yu Tingwan laughed.
"Okay, look how nervous you are. I was just teasing you, but this kind of thing could really happen."
It’s not like we haven’t watched TV series, right?
Qing Zhu frowned, "We didn't have any female relatives in our palace before, and the prince is not often in the capital. I don't really know much about the methods of the noble ladies in the capital. I just know that these people never stop, which is very annoying."
Yu Tingwan highly agreed with this statement, and she was also annoyed by it.
I just hope that no one will be so stupid as to provoke me.
"Meet the Princess of Chen."
"..."
Yu Tingwan rolled her eyes at the lake and curled her lips at Qingzhu who was standing beside her. Qingzhu almost laughed out loud.
The princess is really as predictable as a god!
Turning around, Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows at the person in front of her. As soon as she heard the voice, she knew it was not Shen Jingyi, who hated her to the core recently, nor was it Yu Tinglin, who wanted to come and get beaten for no reason, but she didn't expect it to be her.
"What's the matter, Miss Wen?"
Wen Chuyao watched Yu Tingwan leave the palace. After struggling for a long time, she finally followed him out.
"Princess, Chu Yao has something to say to you."
Then what do you say?
Seeing her embarrassment, Yu Tingwan's mouth twitched, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:
"You won't take this opportunity to jump into the lake?"
"Ah?" Wen Chuyao was a little dazed. "What did the princess say? Why did Chuyao jump into the lake?"
Wen Chuyao looked at the lake beside her, then at Yu Tingwan, and suddenly she understood.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. The Wen family can't afford to lose this person."
"Sorry, I have to take precautions."
Waving his hand to let Qingzhu leave first, Yu Tingwan quietly waited for Miss Wen to say something to him.
She still remembered that this man had a crush on Shen Chenli, although the confession in the carriage was indeed a misunderstanding!
Wen Chuyao looked at the person in front of her, took a few deep breaths, and said what she had always wanted to say.
"The princess must have heard rumors in the capital that I... like the prince."
Wen Chuyao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that she nodded without much reaction.
"Does the princess mind?"
"What do you mind?"
Yu Tingwan was puzzled, "Do you mind that you liked him? You weren't with him. There are so many women in the capital who like him. If I care about them one by one, I will be exhausted!"
If they really had a relationship before, Yu Tingwan might still mind, but this...
Thinking about what they told her and Ma Che's wrong confession, Yu Tingwan felt that if this person didn't like Shen Chenli, she would have sympathized with her!
"You're very different."
Wen Chuyao looked at Yu Tingwan with envy, "I once admired the prince and even confessed my feelings to him. However, when I returned to the mansion, my father, the current Prime Minister Wen, who loved me the most, beat me in front of everyone in the mansion and said that I... had no sense of shame!"
Yu Tingwan frowned. Although she felt sorry for him, why did he say this to her?
"Later, my aunt summoned me to the palace and told me that every woman in the Wen family must contribute to the family. My aunt became the concubine of the previous emperor and continued the glory of the Wen family for generations. Later, my sister also became the queen, and I was naturally prepared to be the next queen."
Yu Tingwan was completely confused.
Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Wen family? How come the queen is her elder sister?
And is Miss Wen really stupid or is she just pretending? In the inner court of the imperial palace, what's the difference between telling her who the next empress will be and telling her who the next emperor will be?
Also, how did the Wen family know to whom the late emperor was going to pass the throne?
She didn't dare to think about these things too much. Looking at the person in front of her who was still mumbling, Yu Tingwan wondered if she should observe a moment of silence for Prime Minister Wen?
Is this daughter really the candidate they have carefully groomed to be the next queen?
"Miss Wen, may I ask what you meant by saying so much?"
Wen Chuyao frowned, "You didn't understand what I meant?"
"No," Yu Tingwan shook his head honestly, "So, Miss Wen, can you just speak frankly?"
It seemed that Yu Tingwan had angered Wen Chuyao. After thinking about it, her eyes became moist.
"I just want to tell Princess that I will not compete with you for the prince. I have my own mission to do. I am destined to be a member of the harem. So, Prince Chen, please treat him well. Chu Yao cannot be with him in this life."
"..."
Is she sick?
"Why don't you just tell the prince?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Chuyao shook her head like a rattle.
"No, I can't. My father has warned me not to meet other men alone anymore, so I went to find the princess."
"Oh," Yu Tingwan stared at the person who was wiping tears.
"Has Miss Wen finished talking?"
Wen Chuyao was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go back then. Miss Wen, you should also hurry back, otherwise Prime Minister Wen will send someone to look for you soon."
Wen Chuyao nodded again, then hesitated and said, "Princess, can you keep Chuyao's words a secret today?"
I didn't expect that my love rival would come to me to complain and I would have to hide it for her. This is really a strange thing!
He nodded to her and agreed that he would keep it a secret for her, then signaled her that she could go back.
Seeing Yu Tingwan's intention, Wen Chuyao had no choice but to leave the pavilion first.
Yu Tingwan frowned as he looked at the person leaving.
She still didn't understand why this person came to see her. Was it just to put an end to her lost youth?
Confused, Yu Tingwan decided to go back, in case another one comes, she couldn't stand it.
Yu Tingwan walked back to the main hall, but found it silent. He exchanged a glance with Qingzhu, and they slowly walked to their seats. Yu Tingwan patted Shen Chenli's arm lightly.
"what happened?"
When Shen Chenli saw her coming back, his slightly frowned brows relaxed and he explained to her in a low voice:
"Prince Hong asked for Princess Jingyi's hand in marriage in public. Yu Tinglin was so angry that he stood up and slapped Princess Jingyi. Later, he was beaten back by Princess Jingyi. Minister Yu and Prince Rui were both furious."
Uh... so exciting?
Yu Tingwan quickly looked down, and sure enough, Prince Rui was standing in front of Shen Jingming, and behind him stood Shen Jingyi, who had an angry but a little shy look on her face.
Looking at Shen Jingming, Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly. Didn't Prince Hong like Yu Tinglin the most? Now he wanted to abandon her for power?
