Chapter 082: The Ignorant Village Woman Only Wants Money
Chu Yan's expression was pale, and his left hand resting on his knee had been clenched into a fist.
Her eyes were fixed on the food on the table. When she realized that Xi Yunnuo had been looking at her, she immediately looked up.
The two people's eyes met, and Chu Yan looked ignorant and innocent.
Xiyunnuo seemed to be startled for a moment, then quickly raised the corner of his mouth and raised his wine glass in her direction.
However, Chu Yan shifted his gaze and pulled Chang Zhe, who had returned beside him, "Who is that person?"
She asked innocently.
Chang Zhe raised his eyes and looked over, with an unhappy look on his face, "It's Xian Guo's proton, Xi Yunnuo."
"Oh, she looks so beautiful."
Chu Yan said lightly, and Chang Zhe looked over again, this time with a knife in his eyes, which made Xi Yunnuo stunned for a moment.
Chang Zhe gave him a warning look and said to Chu Yan again, "This person looks innocent, but in fact he is very evil. You should not have too much contact with him."
"okay."
Chu Yan agreed and just ate the snacks in front of him boredly.
Many of the dignitaries here seemed familiar to her. In her previous life, she had often seen them whether she was with Xi Yunnuo or Xiao Yi.
Now she has to pretend that she doesn't know them.
It's a pity that no one from Prince Jin's Mansion came.
The banquet has lost half of its appeal.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Imperial Master has arrived."
When the boy's voice came, everyone was startled.
"The Imperial Master would come to a place like this. He has never attended a banquet before!"
"I heard that I have a good relationship with the prince. Maybe it's for the prince's sake."
"Stop talking, here we come."
The whispers nearby suddenly disappeared, and there was silence all around.
Chu Yan was kneeling on the ground like everyone else, and all he could see was their footsteps passing by in a hurry.
"No need to be polite, everyone, please sit down. It's just an ordinary family dinner."
Xiao Tong's voice was gentle.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thanked him and rustled back to their seats.
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this banquet. In the past, on the battlefield, General Chang..."
Xiao Tong stood on the main seat, holding a wine cup in his hand, and expressed what happened on the battlefield in a concise and concise manner, expressing his gratitude to Chang Zhe and speaking sincerely.
Everyone looked at Chang Zhe with envy. This kind of honor had never been seen in other generals.
There was only one person who was very special. Yu Lian's eyes in the crowd almost bulged out, and her eyes fell resentfully on Chu Yan who was next to Chang Zhe.
Yesterday Changzhe came to her specifically just to tell her that it was impossible for them.
This man's stiff face is still lingering in Yu Lian's mind. She hates everything now. It must be something Chu Yan said to Chang Zhe when she went back.
As someone who has been around Chang Zhe all year round, Yu Lian knew that his heart had been moved.
Especially when she gave in and told him that she was willing to be his concubine, Chang Zhe must have been interested.
It’s all Chu Yan!
"Miss Yan also helped a lot in Fengshou Town. If you need Gu's help in the future, you can come to the Prince's Mansion to find Gu."
Xiao Tong's eyes suddenly fell on Chu Yan again.
She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked over.
A pair of bright eyes were full of surprise.
The people around her looked at Chu Yan differently, and some even began to compliment her, saying, "Miss Yan is indeed someone who is close to the general. She is not inferior to men."
"Yes, don't be offended, girl. When I first met her, I thought she was just a weak woman."
"awesome."
Chu Yan put away her emotions and put a decent smile on her face. She bent her knees slightly, spoke calmly and gracefully, and her voice was clear and bright.
"Your Highness is very grateful. It is an honor for a daughter of the people to be able to help His Highness take care of his worries."
"It's just a small favor, it's nothing important."
"A girl is modest."
Xiao Tong said with a smile, waved his hand, and a maid immediately appeared in front of her with a brocade box.
The brocade box was opened by the maid, and inside was a set of priceless jewelry.
"The treasure of Cuiyulou! It's worth tens of thousands of gold, and the prince actually gave it to her?"
"It's so good, so beautiful. I've never seen it so close."
"The green color of the bamboo leaves really suits her. I don't know how gorgeous she will look when she wears it. I really want to see it!"
"Girl, please accept it quickly."
Someone on the side reminded him, and Chu Yan finally came back to his senses from his memories.
This thing is really destined.
It was in her hands in the previous life, but it was bought by Xiao Yi. The so-called beauty smiles after all the money is spent, this is what he said to himself at that time.
I didn't expect that Xiao Tong would give it to me in this life.
Chu Yan was in a trance just now.
She knelt on the ground and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, can I not take the daughter of the common people?"
"Is she crazy!?"
Before Xiao Tong could say anything, someone couldn't help but say something.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
Even Xiao Tong's face looked a little gloomy.
No one in this world can refuse what the prince sends.
"Oh? You're a very interesting little girl, why not?"
Wen Yan, who had been sitting next to Xiao Tong, suddenly put down his wine glass and looked over lazily.
As soon as he spoke, the people who were discussing stopped involuntarily and looked over almost subconsciously.
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment and looked at Wen Yan suspiciously. A strange look flashed in his eyes. He quickly looked at Chu Yan and suddenly smiled.
In an instant, the gloomy color on his body disappeared.
Chu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and whispered, "First of all, civilian girls are of low status and are not worthy of such good things. Secondly, civilian girls now have no wealth. When they first arrive in the capital, what they need most is not such gorgeous and noble jewelry."
, on the contrary, it is the most direct thing. A common woman dare not deceive His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive you."
Her voice was humble and there was nothing inappropriate about it.
Xiao Tong smiled a little and said thoughtfully, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
"I am a common woman and I dare to ask His Highness to reward you with silver."
"Haha... what a vulgar woman! If you don't want such a fine jade, you have to insist on something that smells like copper. She is indeed an ignorant village woman and cannot be put on the stage."
As soon as Chu Yan finished speaking, he heard someone scorning him.
But she didn't take it to heart.
These people all speak better than they sing. They don't know the suffering in the world, and she doesn't want to argue with them.
Chang Zhe's face was a little confused. He squatted down and said in Chu Yan's ear, "You must think clearly. If you want money, just tell me. No one has ever been so disobedient to receive something from the prince."
He couldn't understand Chu Yan's thoughts.
At this time, Xiao Tong asked again, "Do you really think so?"
"The daughter of the people really thinks so, and I would like to ask Your Highness to grant it. The girls of the people live in a barren land and have suffered from hunger and cold since childhood. In the eyes of the women of the people, money that can buy rice is more valuable than expensive and gorgeous decorations. Please also ask the prince.
Your Highness, please forgive me."
When Chu Yan said these words, the people who had just despised and scolded her were stunned for a moment, because they suddenly realized that there seemed to be something about this vulgar woman in front of her.
