Chapter 29 Shen Lianyi, the most beautiful woman in Beijing
There is no point in saying more now. Judging from Song Lingxin's appearance, she is quite satisfied with Chen Zhao.
Also, if she didn't want to, Mrs. Cen would not force her to marry.
Naturally, Song Lingxin would not reject Chaoli's idea. The two of them walked towards a path, followed by two maids from a distance.
Guo Mansion was not very big, and they had already reached the corner after walking for a short time. Naturally, the two of them could not leave any further, so they planned to find a place to sit casually.
It hasn't snowed in the past ten days, and it's not too cold even when sitting outside.
The two sisters chatted for a while, until Chao Wan came to ask them to eat, and then they returned to the dining room.
After some polite words from Guo Kai, it was time to celebrate his birthday.
There was not much movement in the inner courtyard where the female guests were, and almost no sound could be heard. On the contrary, the front courtyard was more lively, and booing could be heard from time to time.
Suddenly, two loud singing sounds came.
"King Rui has arrived!"
"Prince Li is here!"
Everyone stood up immediately and said hello respectfully.
"I have met His Highness Prince Rui, and I have met His Highness Prince Li."
Chaoli also saluted with everyone, but his mind was thinking that these two princes also came in the previous life, but at that time Chaoli didn't know who was behind Gu Hanzhang.
It can be said that these two princes are the most popular nowadays.
King Rui is the son of the queen. He is the legitimate son, but he is not the eldest son. He is kind to others and has a good reputation.
Thirty percent of the ministers in the court supported him, and they asked the emperor to appoint his legitimate son as the crown prince. King Rui had the most righteous blood and was a well-deserved candidate for the crown prince.
King Li was the eldest son, and his biological mother was the emperor's first concubine during the prince's period. She had a deep affection for him, and the emperor was partial to him.
Probably because of the emperor's attitude, 30% of the ministers still sided with King Li.
The emperor is also a human being, and his palms and backs are all flesh. He loves both of his sons very much, so he doesn't know which one to make the prince.
As for the other princes, even if they want to compete for the position of crown prince, they don't have the ability.
The other 40% of the ministers are scattered among the various princes. The situation is now relatively stable and there is no major chaos.
Of course, there are also those who are neutral, such as Zhenbei Houfu.
But no one thought that Zhenbei Houfu, which no one supported on the surface, had actually reached a consensus with a prince to compete for that position.
If successful, it will be the result of following the dragon, and the title of prince will be just around the corner.
There was something strange happening in the whole court, and the princes tried their best to please the man on the throne. Everyone knew what was going on, but no one pointed out.
But Chaoli knew very well that neither King Rui nor King Li could become the crown prince in the end.
The person who truly became the crown prince was something no one expected.
In his previous life, Chaoli watched the person behind Gu Hanzhang appear in front of everyone step by step, and finally defeated King Rui and King Li and became the crown prince.
Behind all this, Gu Hanzhang is indispensable for his advice. No matter how King Rui and King Li compete with each other now, in the end they will make the wedding dress for that one.
Gu Hanzhang was a very deep man in the city, and he was also that person's confidant.
The bustle in the front hall subsided, no one dared to be arrogant in front of the two princes, and everyone paid attention to their behavior.
After King Rui and King Li took their seats, a woman dressed in white walked in.
Her skin is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks at her, she has an elegant and noble temperament that makes people take pictures of her, making her feel ashamed and not daring to blaspheme.
The moment he saw her, Chao Lixuxu shook his right hand.
Shen Lianyi!
The most beautiful woman in the capital is the person in Gu Hanzhang's heart.
With such a beauty, there is nothing wrong with her stepping on Gu Hanzhang's heart.
Chaoli ignored the displeasure in his heart and followed Shen Lianyi's figure with his eyes like everyone else.
"I'm sorry, Madam Guo. My daughter is late. Her father was summoned to the palace and cannot come. Madam, please don't worry about it."
Shen Lianyi's movements were smooth and her every move and smile were just right. Even if she arrived a little late, her generous attitude would not displease anyone.
Mrs. Guo smiled heartily, "I'm not late, the banquet has not started yet, Miss Shen is already an honor for me to come, how can I think it's too late for me to come."
Everyone knew very well that Shen Lianyi's words were just words, and it was naturally impossible for her father to condescend to attend Mrs. Guo's seventieth birthday.
After all, Shen Lianyi's father is Shen Fang, the Minister of Military Aircraft.
As we all know, it is true that the prime minister has great power, but the minister of military aircraft is in control of the military and political affairs.
The current emperor is quite wise, so the Minister of Military and Aircraft is truly one person inferior to ten thousand people, and even the Prime Minister is not allowed to look directly at his superiority.
Therefore, the fact that Shen Lianyi can come has completely given Guo Kai, the Minister of Household Affairs, a good reputation.
Guo Kai has not made his position clear yet, so both King Rui and King Li came.
Chaoli did not know which prince Shen Fang was standing behind. In his previous life, Gu Hanzhang would not talk to her about matters in the court, or maybe he was unwilling to talk to her because of Shen Lianyi.
When Shen Lianyi sat down at the table, the ladies all gathered around her, and the backyard became lively.
Chaoli sat there without moving. She knew very well that even if she didn't go there, Shen Lianyi would still come to find her later.
Sometimes she doesn't quite understand why, even though Shen Lianyi and Gu Hanzhang are in love, why haven't they been together for three years, and why Shen Lianyi hasn't even discussed getting married at the age of nineteen?
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour passed, Shen Lianyi walked towards Chaoli's table.
"My little girl has met Princess Dessau."
Princess Dessau smiled kindly and said, "Don't be too polite. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the ripples are getting more and more exciting."
Shen Lianyi's face turned red with embarrassment, "The princess is so complimentary, Miss Gu is the most beautiful."
"Compared to Miss Shen, I'm far behind." Gu Xiyue also smiled happily.
The female family members of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were sitting together. Shen Lianyi came over to greet Princess Desshao first, and then greeted Gu Xiyue with a very familiar gesture.
Compared to her familiarity, Chaoli seemed like an outsider.
The people around her were not fools, and everyone could see that Princess Desao had a much better attitude towards Shen Lianyi than her own daughter-in-law.
Come to think of it, his status is not low.
If you really want to talk about it, Chaoli's family background and status are completely inferior to Shen Lianyi's.
"Is this the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? The eldest concubine is really good-looking, but she has been raised in a boudoir all these years and has not been known to anyone. If I had met the eldest concubine earlier, her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital would have been lost. Not with me." Shen Lianyi smiled and said to Chao Li.
"Miss Shen, don't say that. Maybe tomorrow it will be reported that I shamelessly compete for the title of the most beautiful woman. I am really ashamed of myself." Chao Li covered his lips and smiled.
In the eyes of others, the two seemed to hit it off immediately and were smiling when they spoke.
Only the two of them understood that there was no need to pay attention to the other, since they were just acting.
