Chapter 401 Father and Prime Minister He went to have a drink
This little incident involving Shao Guanming and his sister did not affect the continuation of the polo banquet.
Shen Sui'an and Liang returned to the stands hand in hand.
The eldest princess glanced at Ruan Zhaoxia and saw that she looked normal with sparkling eyes, as if she was not affected by the broken engagement at all.
She had already learned from Huang Bizhu the reason why the Ruan and Shao families broke off their engagement.
I just feel incredible.
He wanted to cancel the engagement just because of such a small matter.
That cousin had no one to rely on. Even if she became a concubine in the future, the power of life and death would be in Ruan Zhaoxia's hands, so she wanted to cancel the engagement.
"The child is just playing around, why do you adults follow him and do such an impulsive thing? The Shao family is a good in-law family." The eldest princess whispered to Liang earnestly.
Liang smiled and said, "Girls in our Ruan family never force anything. Young Master Shao has someone he loves, and we are willing to help him. Besides, marriage is a lifelong thing, and we don't want our two families to become enemies because of the children."
The eldest princess frowned, thinking that Liang was not in a clear mind and would definitely regret it in the future.
"The Queen and I are close friends, so I am willing to advise you to think twice," said the eldest princess.
Liang's face was filled with a grateful smile. "How could I not know your Highness's good intentions? However, the engagement has already been called off, so there is no reason to break your promise."
"If you feel you can't bring yourself to do this, I will talk to the Shao family on your behalf. After you get married, you can bring the girl into the family." said the eldest princess.
"If your Ruan family is willing to take a step back and allow concubines to enter at the same time, then..."
The teacup in Shen Suian's hand fell on the table with a clatter.
She tilted her head and looked at the eldest princess with a half-smile, "When Princess Jinyun gets married in the future, are you willing to marry your concubine at the same time?"
"Can Princess Jinyun accept that her husband has a loving cousin before he gets married?"
The eldest princess's face turned red and white for a while, and she said after a while, "It's Miss Ruan's marriage, how did it involve Jinyun?"
Shen Sui'an turned his head and looked at the exciting competition on the racecourse again.
I saw a girl from an unknown family stand up on the horse, swing her cane vigorously, and score a goal.
"Well done." Shen Suian applauded.
"Women should learn how to ride and shoot, keep fit and look heroic."
She said to Qingsu, "Let's add another element of excitement. I see that the girls here today are all good at playing polo. There will be a game to watch later."
"Yes, princess."
The eldest princess had never been ignored before, and her face darkened.
"Princess Chen, according to what you said, if Prince Chen marries a concubine in the future, do you still want to divorce?"
"Why should I get a divorce?" Shen Suian looked at the eldest princess in confusion.
"You thought the Prince would stay with you for the rest of his life." The eldest princess sneered.
Shen Sui'an took a sip of tea and said, "Doesn't the King of Chen want to protect me alone? Do I have to die?"
"Whether a woman lives a good life or not is determined by herself, not by others."
"I believe the girls in the Ruan family all think so too."
Ruan Zhaoxia leaned against Shen Sui'an's arm and said, "Cousin, men in the Ruan family never take concubines."
Prince Chen also has Ruan family blood, and must be the same as the men in the Ruan family.
The eldest princess's mouth twitched, thinking of how Ruan Xinglin was considered the most noble young man in the Southern Dynasty when he was young, and how many women wanted to marry him, but in the end, he didn't even have a concubine, let alone a maid.
She once thought about marrying Ruan Xinglin.
However, Ruan Xinglin rejected her.
Liang raised Ruan Zhaoxia's forehead and said, "Sit still, don't be too disrespectful."
Ruan Zhaoxia stuck out her pink tongue and sat obediently next to Shen Suian.
"Princess Chen, we just met a girl. She said she was your sister and was looking for you everywhere, so we brought her here." Jinyun raised the corners of his mouth high, his eyes hiding the gloating look of watching a good show.
Shen Suian looked over with sharp eyes and saw Shen Siyi standing behind Jinyun and Huang Bizhu, pretending to be weak.
"Sister." Shen Siyi took light steps and came in front of Shen Sui'an.
"Father knows that my sister is holding a polo party today, so he asked me to help you entertain the guests." Shen Siyi said.
Shen Sui'an didn't even ask anyone to tell Shen Jianglin about today's polo banquet.
How did they know?
"Add a chair for Miss Shen." Shen Sui'an ordered calmly.
Shen Siyi turned around and gave Jinyun a grateful smile, "Thank you, Princess."
Jinyun raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't know the grudge between Shen Suian and her sister, she keenly realized that they had big problems.
Otherwise, Shen Suian had invited almost all the women in the royal capital to the polo club he organized, so why didn't he bring his own sister?
"Let's go play polo." Jinyun pulled Huang Bizhu.
"Princess Jinyun, you have to take the prize too." Ruan Zhaoxia said with a smile.
Jinyun snorted lightly. Sooner or later, she would have a fight with Ruan Zhaoxia.
"Sister, don't you even ask me who sent me here?" Shen Siyi asked in a low voice.
Shen Sui'an just glanced at her lazily, "Even if you are here, what does it mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, but I think that if word gets out that a princess treats her concubine's sister harshly, it will not be a good reputation." Shen Siyi was a little proud.
"Shen Siyi, what do you think you can threaten me with? Do you really think I don't dare to have someone throw you out right now?" I don't know where this confidence comes from.
Shen Siyi didn't dare to say anything more, she was really afraid of being thrown out.
"Prime Minister He sent someone to bring me here." Shen Siyi raised the corners of her mouth.
"Who?" Shen Suian raised his eyebrows.
"It's Prime Minister He who has been to Yong Dynasty. He invited my father to a drink today. Otherwise, how would I know you are here?" Shen Siyi said.
Shen Sui'an took a deep breath.
Every time she thought Shen Jianglin had gone as far as he could, he would continue to do stupid things that would not surprise her.
"He Zhiyuan invited him to a dinner, and he went?" Shen Suian asked coldly.
Shen Siyi snorted coldly, "Well, what else can I do? My daughter doesn't care about him, so my father has to find a way out for himself."
"Okay, very good." Shen Sui'an was so angry that he couldn't speak.
She turned and glanced at Fuqiu.
Fuqiu had just heard what Shen Siyi said, and was cursing Shen Jianglin in her heart for being irresponsible.
Everyone knew that He Zhiyuan was targeting the prince everywhere in the court. As his father-in-law, he was living in the house arranged for him by the prince, but he actually went to drink with He Zhiyuan.
What kind of wine is a must to try?
Fuqiu immediately went to find Shi Qing and asked him to find a capable servant to go to the Pacification Office and tell the prince about this matter first.
Although there was a small accident at today's polo banquet, it finally ended successfully.
Shen Sui'an finally had a general impression of the officials' wives and ladies in the royal capital.
Based on the family tree she had memorized, she could roughly know which people were worth interacting with more and which ones were just acquaintances.
