Chapter 335: Banquet at the Royal Palace (3)
Seeing the princess looking at her again, the purple-clothed girl was delighted. "Princess, we are full. There are too many choices in the buffet and we easily overeat. So we are taking a walk to digest our food. Why are you here, Princess? Did you try the barbecued vegetable skewers? They were served last and they were so delicious!"
The girl in red next to him also said, "Yes, yes, yes! And the charcoal-grilled fish balls are also very delicious. I never thought that fish meat could be made into such a shape. It's really, so good!"
"Yes, there's also that Jianbing Guozi!! I love it so much!! Unfortunately, I'm full!" The chubby girl in yellow had a look of regret on her face, and it was obvious that she was truly in love.
Wow, it turns out they are also a group of foodies?
Shen Yu immediately became alert and started talking to them directly. She knew the buffet menu by heart and even named some new dishes that were not at the banquet just now, which made the foodie girls wail in delight. In this way, everyone became closer.
They had only one thought in their minds: Princess Zhuo turned out to be so easy to get along with.
Shen Yu also knew whose children these were. The girl in purple was Qin Mengzhen, the daughter of the Qin family; the girl in red was Li Ni from the Li family; the girl in yellow was Cai Yun, the daughter of the magistrate of Xi County; and as for the girl in white... it didn't matter.
Tan Fuyao, who was originally surrounded by the crowd, stood at the outermost edge with a gentle smile on her face while listening to their conversation, but she was very disdainful in her heart. How dare Princess Zhuo bring out those smelly foods to entertain guests? Oh, it was really ridiculous, and it was really not worthy of being on the stage.
But this feeling of being almost completely ignored was unfamiliar to her. In previous banquets, as long as she was willing to show up, she would definitely be the focus of everyone. The current situation of being left aside was unprecedented, and she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with the few little fans around her.
Shen Yu was chatting with these girls, and of course he could see the stiff smile of the girl in white. This kind of acting was really not good. She obviously didn't like him, but she pretended to be kind. Besides, she and Tan Daixue had always been following Mrs. Tan. Who cares who is the real daughter of the Tan family? Anyway, all the girls of the Yun family are on her blacklist!
At this time, another noble lady came over. She should be over 40 years old, but her well-maintained face still looked beautiful. But of course, as she approached, she knew she was a strong woman by looking at her eyebrows and eyes. Shen Yu stood up and nodded politely to greet her, "Mrs. Gu."
"Greetings, Princess Zhuo. May I have a word with you?" Her face was filled with a loving smile, and she was apologetic towards the girls, which was very different from her distant behavior outside just now.
The person who came was the wife of the deceased former Border Guard General Gu Ning, and also the mother of Gu Liu and Gu Chen.
Just now, he saw that she was not very enthusiastic about him, and she did not take the initiative to acknowledge Ye Muan, the future daughter-in-law, and even seemed to be a bit risk-averse. He thought that she might be dissatisfied with this marriage, so she came to him... Could it be that she wanted to help Wu Chen break off the engagement! ?
"Of course." Shen Yu's thoughts kept turning over and over in his mind, but he still answered with a smile.
The few women who had just come left tactfully, but before leaving they all said nice things to Shen Yu and promised to cook new delicacies for them next time.
Tan Fuyao, who had already walked far away, turned back and looked at the two people over there thoughtfully... For the two brothers of the Gu family, it would be a good choice to marry their daughter's half-sister to them.
While Shen Yu was looking at Madam Gu, he knew that she was also looking at him. He only heard her praise: "You are worthy of being a descendant of the Su family. No wonder Wu Chen and Wu Liu have been praising the princess to me, saying that they received a lot of care from the princess when they were in Luocheng. As a mother, I just want to thank her in person and thank the princess for her care." After saying that, she stood up and bowed slightly.
"Madam Gu, there is no need to be so polite. Wu Chen and Wu Liu have helped me a lot. Besides, they are the prince's people and are one as one. The prince and I are not the kind of people who treat our subordinates harshly." Shen Yu sat as steady as a rock. She was first Princess Zhuo, then Wu Chen's master, and even more so Ye Mu'an's family. She could afford this courtesy.
Seeing her magnanimity, Madam Gu was even more satisfied, so she took off the bracelet in her hand and placed it in front of her, "Princess, please pass this item to Miss Ye for me, it is not convenient for us to meet now."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, didn't answer, and didn't say anything.
Madam Gu was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that she might have misunderstood. She laughed softly for a while, and then said, "Princess, don't misunderstand me. I am naturally very satisfied with Miss Ye as my daughter-in-law. As early as when we were in Luocheng, Wu Chen sent more than ten letters urging me to help organize the wedding banquet, but how can I do that? It would be disrespectful to the girl's family to do it in such a hurry."
Hearing her say this, Shen Yu's arrogant aura finally dissipated, and he said a little embarrassedly, "It turned out that I misunderstood, Madam, please don't blame me."
Madam Gu took her hand, leaned close and whispered, "Princess Zhuo, my mother's family is in the south of the Yangtze River... We came here from Zhuo City in trouble. My ancestors were once favored by the Cao family. I will not neglect a young lady from the Cao Gang family." After she finished speaking, she stepped back, as if she had never said anything, but her smile seemed to be more intimate.
"Ah?" She was completely confused by this. After talking for a long time, it turned out that Ye Muan's biggest backer was here! !
She understood that this was a pavilion, and some things were inconvenient to say, but since this was the premise, she felt relieved when Ye Muan married there, but...
"Does Wu Chen know?" Shen Yu asked. She wanted to be sure whether she was marrying An An to repay a favor or out of true love.
"Of course I don't know... But I will tell them when I go back this time." Mrs. Gu was all smiles. She could naturally see the princess's character. No wonder the prince doted on her so much. A woman who had such a clear distinction between love and hate and was affectionate and righteous was worthy of being the mistress of the palace. She was also happy for her future daughter-in-law to have such a friend to protect her. The princess really cared about Ye Muan.
After getting a definite answer, Shen Yu felt relieved, and then he spoke, "Aunt Ye asked the prince to help find someone to buy a mansion here. Ye Muan's second brother Ye Xiuyong is also here, and they live in..."
"I know, it's on the last street after the palace..." Mrs. Gu showed a bright smile, "I helped find that palace, and the Gu Mansion is across the street. They can come to my house often in the future. I have always wanted a daughter. Don't worry, Princess, if Wu Chen dares to bully her, I will beat him to death." After saying this, she rolled her eyes playfully, as if she understood me.
Shen Yu, "......"
Well, I feel like Ye Muan will be spoiled to the point of being lawless after marriage. Her future mother-in-law also has the potential to be a daughter-obsessed person, and she will probably have a lot to talk about with the people in the Ye family.
