Chapter 264 Huangfu, what's going on with her?
Chapter 264 Huangfu Qian, what's going on with her?
“I’m from the same village as Anjia Township Lord,” Ma Yiyi said, her lips twitching. If she could, she would never want to say that she came from the countryside, but… she had to listen to the comments on the live stream system; she wanted to establish a relationship with Xia Mo.
"So, Madam Wei San is also from a place called Anjia Village," the young mistress sitting at the next table to Ma Yiyi said, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing, her eyes full of mockery.
“Our place is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery,” Ma Yiyi paused, took a deep breath, and maintained her gentle smile, then continued, “Look at me, I married Master Wei, and my good friend Momo became a village head with a fief. What small place could produce two such people all at once?”
Upon hearing this, the young mistress next to Ma Yiyi felt that Ma Yiyi's words made some sense, and said, "Is your hometown very beautiful? I thought you would feel inferior, but I didn't expect you to openly admit your birthplace. I feel a bit more favorably towards you. Let's keep in touch by letter from now on."
The young mistress next to Ma Yiyi implied that she was willing to associate with Ma Yiyi, but since they were married, it was not appropriate for them to leave the mansion at will, although they could exchange letters frequently.
“Okay,” Ma Yiyi smiled sincerely when she heard that the other party was willing to associate with her.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to observe Ma Yiyi's subtle actions and sneered inwardly, thinking, "She wants to use me to build more connections."
dream!
The banquet progressed to the point where the men and women from both sides were allowed to move around freely. This step was crucial in determining whether the blind date would be successful.
Xia Mo sat motionless next to the eldest princess, and the young people at the banquet dared not approach her.
But... the eldest princess's two precious sons are not afraid.
“Lord Anjia,” Young Master He stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting to Xia Mo.
Young Master He also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I never expected to meet the Township Head. It is the greatest fortune of my life."
Young Master He was somewhat annoyed; why couldn't he be as eloquent as his younger brother? However, when it comes to marriage, the order of seniority is naturally followed!
"Ahem," the eldest princess coughed lightly, reminding her two sons that their mother was still here.
"Mother," the second young master of the He family immediately surrounded the eldest princess, calling out in a slightly coquettish tone.
The eldest princess was clearly pleased and returned a smile to the second young master He.
"Mother!" Young Master He called out seriously, but couldn't let go of his airs and acted coquettishly, which startled the eldest princess.
"Lord Anjia, you can forget about it," the eldest princess smiled apologetically at Xia Mo, her eyes indicating that she would handle it.
"Although the Princess of Anjia grew up in the countryside, Mother, look at her demeanor and bearing. In what way does she lose to the children of the capital?!" Young Master He glanced at Xia Mo and immediately began to flatter her.
"You should put away your thoughts," the eldest princess shook her head again.
Just as He Da and He Er were about to say something more, the steward's loud chanting came from outside the door.
"His Highness Prince Jiang has arrived!"
This chant also serves as a reminder to those present not to be impolite.
Summer's end brought a sudden burst of light.
She remembered that Ma Yiyi still didn't know that Huangfu Qian was the Prince of Jiang, and had even given Huangfu Qian a beating!
Wait a minute, what a sight it will be when Ma Yiyi sees Huangfu Qian!
Upon hearing that Huangfu Qian had arrived, the men and women at the banquet immediately fell silent and all looked respectfully toward the courtyard gate.
His tall and slender figure, exuding a rare air of authority among men of the capital, strode in.
The moment everyone present saw Huangfu Qian's handsome appearance, which was second to none, the banquet hall fell silent instantly, so silent that you could hear the wind.
When Ma Yiyi saw Huangfu Qian's face clearly and recognized him, her eyes widened and her breathing became rapid. All she could hear was her own disordered breathing.
This person is King Jiang!
When Ma Yiyi thought of how she had deliberately driven Huangfu Qian away when she was in Anping County, her face turned pale, then red, then pale, and then flushed. She felt flustered, short of breath, and broke out in a cold sweat.
King Jiang, how could it be this person!
"Seventh Prince," the eldest princess hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Although she was an elder, her status as a princess who married out of the country was inferior to that of a prince.
"Great Aunt," Huangfu Qian bowed expressionlessly.
"What are you doing here..." The eldest princess wanted to ask, "Why have you come here?" But the moment her gaze swept over Xia Mo, she seemed to understand something. Shock and disbelief flashed through her mind.
She was certain: Huangfu Qian had come for Xia Mo!
"My mother sent me here to relax," Huangfu Qianmian said, seemingly oblivious to everyone else. His gaze was fixed on the eldest princess, and he didn't look at anyone else.
The eldest princess nodded in agreement: "Haha, your aunt will arrange a seat for you right away!"
The purpose of Consort Wei in inviting Huangfu Qian was simple: to let Huangfu Qian meet the noble lady she had designated, and perhaps Huangfu Qian would take a liking to her.
“Well, you don’t need to worry about me,” Huangfu Qian said, sitting down in the seat arranged for him by the eldest princess.
"Hehe," the eldest princess laughed with a hint of helplessness.
Her two sons have both fallen for the wrong people—her precious daughter…and she's fallen for the wrong people too! As a mother, she's really…in a difficult position!
"Greetings, Seventh Cousin," Princess He stepped forward and curtsied to Huangfu Qianying.
Princess He thought Huangfu Qian would respond, but in reality...
Huangfu Qian stared thoughtfully at the food table in front of him, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him, completely ignoring him.
Princess He's greeting went unanswered, and her expression darkened. She looked at the eldest princess with distress, hoping the princess would say a word or two on her behalf to seek some justice.
The eldest princess: "..."
The eldest princess said, "Don't bother your seventh cousin. You should hurry up and play with the other young ladies."
What kind of person is Huangfu Qian? He doesn't even give the old emperor face. Apart from what Consort Wei says, he might listen to a little. As for others... it depends on his mood.
Princess He's eyes reddened with grievance, and she refused to leave, stubbornly looking at Huangfu Qian, demanding a response from him.
The eldest princess couldn't bear to see her daughter lose face so badly, but similarly, she couldn't directly confront Huangfu Qian.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jiang," Xia Mo said to Huangfu Qian, raising his voice and clasping his hands in greeting.
Huangfu Qiancai seemed to have heard a sound, looked up at Xia Mo, then lowered his head and stared blankly at the food table in front of him.
As summer faded, she turned and met Princess He's angry gaze. She said softly, "If you want His Highness Prince Jiang to give you a look, you can't call him Seventh Cousin. You don't trust people. I'll learn from you and try it."
The eldest princess wanted to cover her face; it was too embarrassing.
Princess He actually followed suit, cupping her fists to Huangfu Qian and loudly saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jiang!"
Huangfu Qian then looked up and gave Princess He a glance.
After her initial surprise, Princess He's eyes lit up like a child who had just received candy, but then she turned her hostile gaze towards Xia Mo.
Xia Mo's eyebrows curved into a happy smile. Huangfu Qian, what's he up to with her?
