Chapter 1114: Wang Po Selling Gourds, Boasting About Themsel

onk”The Marquis nodded. “Not only that, I will have people send the corn and potatoes there in advance, then arrange for a ship blown ashore by a hurricane, with a sick foreign monk...” 。Then, when yo...Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone the harem. Thirteen women vying for the prince's attention is simply a Shura field.

Wherever the prince might appear, these concubines and beautiful maids would occupy the place.

In just one day, the Crown Prince encountered two people who sprained their ankles and three who fainted from heatstroke.

It's just going out for a stroll in the evening, walking around casually, and there are always two dancing under the moon...

Later, the emperor noticed that the prince's eyes were bloodshot and dark circles appeared, not because he was tired from being a groom for the first time, but because he was bothered by the women surrounding him.

Then, he decisively sent an elderly eunuch to the prince's side, specifically responsible for arranging the prince's daily schedule.

Of course, including which woman served by his bedside each night.

If someone were to gain the prince's favor, it would also be permitted for him to summon a beautiful woman during the day to add fragrance.

That depends on your abilities!

For a time, the esteemed Crown Prince Tianwu was reduced to a mere tool for lineage continuation.

He was also a tool man that made all the men in Tianwu envious.

However, I doubt the Crown Prince was feeling very happy.

After all, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, occasionally running off to Zhilan Palace to seek some peace and quiet.

Some families are joyful, while others are sorrowful.

The noblewomen who entered the palace strived to cultivate a good relationship with the crown prince for their family's sake and their own future. But those who were not chosen could not simply end up lonely in their old age.

Although, being unsuccessful doesn't sound good, it's not that embarrassing.

But being able to enter the shortlist is enough proof that their family background and status are exceptionally distinguished.

So, a new wave of betrothal swept through the New Capital quietly.

Those who were pampered and valued by their families mostly had a backup plan.

That is to say, they were almost all well-matched, but none of them had been betrothed.

Now, things progressed naturally. The betrothal and engagement were quickly and efficiently completed, concluding this major life event.

But there are exceptions, namely those who have ruined their reputation through self-inflicted harm and yet believe themselves to be victims of fate, intending a desperate comeback.

For example, the young lady in Chen Shilang's household...

Mrs. Liu went out today to attend a banquet and have some celebratory wine.

She has a close friend she's known for many years. After marrying into a wealthy family, she has spent many years as a daughter-in-law and finally became the mistress of the house.

And his daughter even went into the palace and became a beauty!

Such joyful occasions, even if the royal family keeps a low profile, the household still has to celebrate with a feast.

But all the guests who came were relatives and friends who kept moving about.

Of course, Mrs. Liu was happy for her friend. Others might just say that, but because of the relationship with the county princess, she often went to Bai Gu Yuan and Bai Yun Guan and had met the crown prince several times.

Although the prince was still under the control of his elders at that time, he looked very mature and intelligent. Most importantly, he was handsome, the type favored by the elders, calm and dashing.

At this moment, she was holding onto her friend Mrs. Wang's hand and whispering about trivial matters she had encountered with the prince in the past.

A woman's heart is delicate, and she often judges people based on small details. But it has to be said, that is also more accurate.

Mrs. Wang was a doting mother, and these past few days she hadn't been able to eat or sleep properly because of worry.

If it weren't for the family, the daughter would be quite proud. She really doesn't want her daughter to enter the palace.

Now that her friend had explained things to her little by little, she could finally feel half the weight on her heart lift.

As long as the prince is a good person and the girl doesn't cause trouble, if they have a child after a year and a half, that means they'll be firmly established. At least for the rest of their lives, they won't have to worry about anything.

Thinking this way, she became even happier to have Liu Fu as a friend and urged, "Ruolan, I heard that the Crown Prince is very close to the Li family. If the Li family holds any banquets in the future, you must bring me along."

"I'll join the fun and have a word with the princess. Just in case my girl, Zhu'er, has any trouble in the palace, at least I can ask the princess for help."

Mrs. Liu didn't take charge, she just smiled and said, "Alright, if you want to join in the fun, come with me. Don't worry about Zhu'er, she is very clever. You might even benefit from her later on. When that happens, don't forget about me!"

"Of course not." Mrs. Wang was coaxed into a smile, her words and expressions revealing her great delight.

The two of them chose a small tea room, sitting for a while to rest and chat.

To our surprise, someone else found out and joined in.

Seeing Chen Shi Lang's wife walk in and sit down on her own, both of them felt a bit displeased.

But Mrs. Wang was the mistress of the house and it wouldn't do to drive people away, so she asked Mrs. Chen to have some tea.

Mrs. Liu, using the excuse of changing her clothes, was about to leave.

But Mrs. Chen stopped her, insisting on speaking together.

Mrs. Liu guessed that she had something on her mind, so she halfheartedly sat back down.

After only a few words, Madam Chen began to praise her own daughter.

"My Yuehua, she's proficient in everything from qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She's knowledgeable, well-mannered, and graceful. She'd be the perfect daughter-in-law. Whoever marries her would be incredibly fortunate."

Mrs. Liu nearly choked on her tea when she heard this. Let's not talk about how dignified and composed it sounds, just the fact that "knowledgeable and well-mannered" can be applied to any young lady but definitely not Miss Chen!

After all, at the summer resort banquet, Miss Chen lost a poetry contest to the county princess and was slapped hard.

This is the whole new city, something everyone knows.

Mrs. Wang also smiled dryly, not knowing how to respond.

Facts can be exaggerated, but they cannot be made out of thin air!

Mrs. Chen saw that both of them were silent and became a little unhappy.

She fixed her gaze on Mrs. Wang, signaling for her to chime in and bridge the gap.

Mrs. Wang was bewildered and a little annoyed.

If Madam Chen really has something to tell Madam Liu and needs her as an intermediary, she should at least let me know in advance.

At this moment, she was just blinking her eyelids non-stop. Who could guess what was going on

After all, not everyone is born with mind reading abilities!

Mrs. Chen waited for a long time, but Mrs. Wang didn't help her out. Helplessly, she could only grit her teeth and speak up herself.

"Speaking of which, Master Liu's eldest son is also at the marrying age, isn't he I wonder if there are any suitable candidates"

Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat, she finally knew what Mrs. Chen was up to.

She was immediately furious, wishing she could throw the tea in her hand over his head.

Zhimin is her eldest son, and he will be the one to support the family in the future. Naturally, when choosing a wife for him, she must choose carefully.

The woman doesn't have to be beautiful or come from a wealthy family, but she must definitely be of good character, responsible, filial, and sensible.

It's obvious that Miss Chen lacks everything.

Moreover, people like them, even if they intend to get married, would have to go through acquaintances to deliver messages. Both families must agree, and then find a prestigious matchmaker to go through the motions.

It's all about having a proper demeanor and following the rules.

I don't want to, Madam Chen actually asked this directly in front of everyone!

A mother personally promoting her own daughter Even a pauper wouldn't do such a thing!

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen, for your kind concern. Our son is still young, and we don't have any plans for marriage within the next two or three years. As for the future, it's all about fate."

This refusal is already very clear, but Mrs. Chen apparently doesn't want to give up.

She immediately spoke with a reproachful tone, advising, "Madam Liu, that's not right. It doesn't matter if she is young; you can first set the betrothal and marry her in a few years. If this goes on for too long, all the good girls will be betrothed."

"Just like my daughter Yuehua, these days countless people have come to inquire about her. But I look down on all those families. Instead, I think your eldest son is quite good!"ow this hidden danger has fully erupted.Li Yong also came out after a falling out with his family. He felt deeply for Mr. Wen's current situation and sighed, "Mr. Wen is truly heartbroken, otherwise h...
