Chapter 323: Encounter in the Suburbs
Yun Lan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, his lips slightly curved, and he looked at Yun Que with a teasing look.
"Second brother, it's such a beautiful season, there are many beauties boating on the lake here, you didn't come here just for these beauties, did you?"
Yunque nodded in acknowledgement.
"Ah."
"what?"
Yun Que’s attitude made Yun Lan stunned for a moment.
She was just joking, but it turned out to be true?
Second brother, do you have someone you like?
Isn't he the kind of iceberg man who remains as cold as ice for thousands of years?
How could he be interested in women?
"Really? Which girl have you taken a fancy to?"
"Which young lady is so capable that she could attract the attention of the Second Emperor?"
Yun Que looked directly at Yun Qian who was approaching him and uttered in a low voice.
"The eldest daughter of the general's mansion."
Yun Lan's expression changed, and Yun Qian's expression behind him also changed instantly.
what?
The eldest daughter of the general's family?
How could it be her?
Yun Lan pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and his smile seemed a little forced.
"As expected of the Second Brother, your vision is truly... unique!"
Little did she know that the female thief had hooked up with the second prince.
Haha, when did you hook up?
How long have you been here? Has the iceberg melted before your eyes?
Is this the law of time travel, that women who travel through time will be pursued by all men?
Whether it is because of interests, because of love, or some other purpose.
This female thief who traveled through time is very popular!
It's a pity that her eldest brother also took a fancy to the identity of the eldest daughter of the general's mansion.
He wanted to capture this female thief and use her to win over the Xie family.
Originally, the Queen Mother did not agree, but things are different now. Because of Concubine Rou’s incident, the Fourth Prince and the Queen Mother have become enemies.
That Duke of Yu is now an enemy rather than a friend.
I'm afraid he has already joined the Fourth Brother's camp and is trying to dethrone the First Brother from the position of Crown Prince.
She was also not very happy about her eldest brother getting close to Jin Tiantian.
But she thought of Rong Yin again.
Doesn’t Rong Yin also want to use Jin Tiantian to gain benefits for them?
In fact, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
If the eldest prince could take down Jin Tiantian, then Jin Tiantian would be standing on their side and could help Rong Yin.
She struggled for a long time, but finally decided to be rational, endure a little grievance for the sake of Rong Yin and her elder brother, and make peace with Jin Tiantian.
Besides, the position of the eldest prince’s wife was not reserved for Jin Tiantian.
Looking at her vulgar character, at most she would be married in as a concubine.
What is a concubine?
Thinking of this, Yun Lan began to feel a little gloating.
If Jin Tiantian really became the eldest prince's concubine, then the days of jealousy would surely be very suitable for this time-traveling female thief.
She traveled from a monogamous world and could not accept that her husband had three wives and four concubines.
What's more, I am still that concubine?
It would be boring to just kill her. Wouldn't it be much more interesting to watch her live a life worse than death and suffer every day?
Yun Qian smiled warmly, but hostility grew in his heart.
"Second brother, since we have met here by chance today, why don't we have some fun together? Learn from the carefree behavior of the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and go to the lakeside for a picnic and enjoy the fun of it?"
Yunque has always been a loner. He doesn't like making friends or chatting with others over drinks.
But today he came here just to meet the eldest daughter of the general's mansion.
It's nice to experience some of her fun.
"Very good."
Two royal pleasure boats were parked at the lakeshore. It was said to be a picnic, but the food and drinks were all exquisite. Chefs were brought along, and the dishes were prepared according to royal standards, so the food and drinks were very sumptuous.
Meat dishes: roasted lamb chops, salt duck, chicken in sauce, goose with five-flavor apricot cheese sauce.
Food and snacks: Brahman light noodles, imperial concubine red, longevity porridge, single basket golden milk pastry, Mantuo-style sandwich.
Vegetarian dishes: wild lotus root, fried tofu, grasshopper, leek and eggplant.
Dishes and soups: Tonghua soft beef intestines, Guangming roasted shrimp, Bailongyao, West Lake whitebait soup.
Drinks: Jasmine soup, mung bean soup, ginger honey water, yam soup and bean water.
Drinks: pear wine, rice wine, jujube wine, grape wine, and viburnum dew.
Side dishes: five-spice fermented black beans, dried radish, mixed cucumber, fermented tofu, and fried broad beans.
Candied fruits: fried cherries, candied kumquats, candied grapes, candied melon strips.
Jiang Qinghe also came along with Yunlan to join in the fun.
Ever since the last relationship between the Third Prince Yunlong and Princess Rongxi of Beiliang ended in failure, her relationship with Yunlong came to nothing.
The emperor had no intention of granting them a marriage.
The Queen disliked Jiang Qinghe even more.
Don’t you look at your own status? How can you be worthy of his son?
She is just a concubine's daughter in the mansion of Master Jiang.
Even if my son likes her very much, the worst that can happen is that after he gets married, he can bring Jiang Qinghe in as a concubine.
In the eyes of the Queen, Jiang Qinghe was absolutely not worthy of being a candidate for the third imperial consort.
Although their marriage was over, Jiang Qinghe and Yunlong were still very affectionate in private.
They will still be together, but Yunlong is not in a hurry.
He no longer had any thoughts of marrying Jiang Qinghe as soon as possible.
He was determined to marry Princess Rongxi of Beiliang just for Jiang Qinghe.
But Rong Xi didn't like him and actually married him to the seventh prince of Nanhuang Kingdom.
She is not married yet, but she is engaged.
Naturally, his marriage with Rong Xi fell through.
This incident made him angry for a while.
Even now, what happened between Rong Xi and him is still like a thorn in his heart.
He couldn't really explain what that feeling was.
He clearly looked down on Rong Xi, but he was unwilling to accept the result.
Why am I inferior to the Seventh Prince of Nanhuang?
She actually chose the Seventh Prince of Nanhuang instead of him!
Finally, he had to vent the anger that was pent up in his heart. A few days ago, he couldn't help but run to Nanhuang to see the Seventh Prince of Nanhuang with his own eyes.
He planned to resolve his own knot before Rong Xi and the Seventh Prince of Nanhuang got married.
The wedding is approaching, and there is only one month left.
Yunlong rushed to Nanhuang.
Now that the Second Prince Yunlong is away, Jiang Qinghe has been following Yunlan for the past two days, trying to find out where Yunlong has gone.
Yunlong did not tell Jiang Qinghe about his departure.
Yunlan went ashore and flew a kite.
Jiang Qinghe came over gracefully.
"Seventh Princess, it's time for lunch. The food has been prepared in the pleasure boat."
"Got it." Yun Lan was reeling in the kite string when he heard Jiang Qinghe sighing beside him.
"It was a coincidence that I came here this time. I actually ran into the Second Prince and the Third Prince of Beiliang boating on the lake together."
