Chapter 122: It takes two more people to beat her
Li Yueran stood up to greet him and said with a smile.
"But sister, what are you talking about? I just arrived and haven't been waiting for long."
Xu Keke took Li Yueran's hand and sat down together.
"After all, it's my fault for making Sister Ran wait."
After the two of them sat down, the maids hurriedly added tea for Xu Keke and the others.
Several maids had played pitching pots together when they were at the Xu family.
They were no strangers to each other and soon became lively in their conversation.
Li Yueran held Xu Keke's hand, looked at him carefully for a while, and asked with concern.
"But sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How is your married life with the prince?"
"Ah, it's hard to put it into words! To be honest, the prince is very good to me, and there are no troubles in the mansion. It's just that my status restricts me, and I lack the free and easy style of a girl."
Xu Ke took a sip of the tea. It was pretty good, but not as good as the one in the palace.
Li Yueran was not idle either. She ate snacks and looked at her with a smile.
"But sister, you are so lucky! It's rare that the prince is so devoted to you. Didn't you notice it when you married into the royal family?
The other princes all have numerous wives and concubines, but none of them enjoys the exclusive blessings like Sister Ke does."
Xu Ke was stunned when he heard this, and when he thought about it carefully, it was true.
Not to mention those in the palace, they are all concubines left by the previous emperor who have given birth to children.
Only the princes’ wives were allowed into the palace to attend the royal family banquets, and she didn’t think there were that many of them at the time.
But the last time she went to mourn Prince Shou's funeral, all the concubines knelt on the ground.
There are so many concubines, concubines, concubines, and beauties...
Well, no wonder Prince Shou passed away so early. No one can bear this!
Xu Ke, who thought he had figured out the truth, planned to give Chu Musheng an ideological education class after returning.
Let him check himself.
Well, Prince Shou is a lesson for us.
"Sister Ran, have you been very busy recently? Why didn't you come to see me at Prince Sheng's Mansion? When I was at my parents' house before, you would come to visit me in person."
When Li Yueran heard Xu Keke ask this, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face, but she didn't hide it.
Said frankly.
"But sister, you are blaming me wrongly. It's not that I don't want to visit you.
But sister, you are now the Princess of Sheng. If I go to the Prince Sheng’s Mansion and the Prince is also there, I’m afraid he will be unhappy.
If others find out, they might think too much about it, so it’s better to avoid such gossip.”
Xu Keke was slightly stunned, then he laughed.
Her mother and Aunt Ding had also reminded her of this concern.
"It was I who was inconsiderate, my sister was. But we can't let this alienate our sisterhood."
Li Yueran nodded.
"Don't worry, sister. Our friendship will never change because of this. I am still waiting to be married.
When I get married, I can visit you openly."
Xu Ke likes Li Yueran's personality of being able to say anything.
Nowadays, it is uncommon for a girl to talk about her future after marriage before she even gets married.
She moved closer to Li Yueran and asked in a low voice.
"Didn't Sister Ran say she's attracted to Prince Ning? Is there a follow-up?"
Li Yueran glanced at the maids, who were discussing how to serve their mistress well.
It seems that he has no time to eavesdrop on their conversation.
So Li Yueran told Xu Ke the details.
"But sister, I told my mother about my feelings, but she didn't agree.
It is said that Prince Ning was indeed a good person, and he and Princess Jianning divorced under the order of the Regent.
But Princess Jianning was only banished to the cold palace, not dead. I'm just afraid that one day she'll regain power and seek revenge on me. After all, no matter how destitute she is, she's still a royal princess."
Xu Ke snorted a few times, feeling a little disgusted with the Prime Minister's wife's cowardice.
Couldn't help but say.
"Sister Ran, your mother is the Prime Minister's wife after all. How could she be intimidated by the power of a princess in the cold palace?"
Li Yueran shook his head and continued.
"That's just one of the reasons. Mother's main objection is because Prince Ning was my eldest sister's sweetheart in her early years. Mother said I should have a better choice."
This is true, Xu Ke nodded in agreement.
As the daughter of the prime minister, Li Yueran has many young talents who are well-matched with her.
"So, sister, are you giving up now?"
Xu Ke asked casually while eating snacks.
Li Yueran immediately responded.
"How can that be! If my family doesn't agree, I'll start with Prince Ning. I'll ask the servants in the mansion to go out and inquire.
I just realized that the threshold of the Ningguo Mansion has been almost broken down by matchmakers these days. I am so anxious too!
If Prince Ning gets married, I will have even less hope. These days I have been planning how to get close to Prince Ning.
Then I deliberately fell in front of him, and when he helped me up, I took the opportunity to hold him responsible.
It would be better if I fell into the water and he rescued me, that would make more sense."
Xu Ke was stunned.
How dare you think.
He took a sip of tea and swallowed the pastry in his mouth.
Xu Ke said cautiously.
"Sister Ran, there's nothing wrong with bravely pursuing your own happiness, but doing so carries risks!
Let’s take an example. If you jump into the water in front of Prince Ning, what if he can’t swim?
Not only will he fail to save you, but you will also misunderstand him as cold-blooded and heartless.
Or maybe he asked his servant to go into the water to save you, and after you were rescued, did you say, "Prince Ning, your servant saved me, so I have to marry you?"
Li Yueran listened carefully to what Xu Ke said, then nodded seriously.
"But sister's analysis makes sense. It seems that diving is the only way to go. Do you think pretending to faint in Prince Ning's arms would work?"
License can...
Isn’t this the ancient version of "pengci" (bumping into a car)?
Could it be that she gained insights from her past experiences with the prince?
Xu Keke did not answer her question, but pulled Li Yueran up and walked to the window.
"Sister Ran, I asked you to meet here today because I wanted to tell you that I was forced to retreat from this window. Look at this height. If nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen soon."
Li Yueran stood by the window, looked down, and took a breath of cold air.
"This wish is really vicious. She wants to kill my sister!"
The three maids also ran over and attacked Xu Yuanyuan with a common hatred.
Li Yueran's maid: "How evil! How could there be such a cousin?"
Dingdang: "Please don't let me see this wish again. I will beat her every time I see her."
Anxiang: "Isn't that what we see? Isn't the person standing in front of that stall the one making wishes?"
"what?"
Several people looked in the direction of Anxiang's finger.
Sure enough, I saw Xu Yuanyuan. She was standing on the roadside bargaining with a vendor, as if she wanted to buy something.
Dingdang turned around and looked at Xu Keke.
"Miss, you don't have to do anything. Anxiang and I will go and beat her up."
Subtle fragrance...
Do we need two more people to beat her?
Xu Ke squinted his eyes.
"You two go and drag her up here. I want her to feel what it's like to fall from the third floor."
