Chapter 291 Let's Talk It Out
The palace is a place where not just anyone can enter.
The fact that both she and the Second Prince are here shows that she has a close relationship with the Second Prince, otherwise the Second Prince would not have brought her to see the Queen Mother.
After taking a seat, Su Qianqian looked at Li Hongting and asked with a smile, "Cousin, who is this..."
Li Hongting turned to look at Lu Shian: "This is Lu Shian from Yongkang Marquis's Mansion."
Su Qianqian suddenly realized, "But she is the daughter of the eldest son who just came back recently?"
Lu Shian lowered his head and replied, "That's right, my father is the eldest son."
Both of them seemed to have forgotten that they had just met two days ago.
"Cousin, you are amazing. Miss Shi'an has just arrived in Anjing, but she has already become your confidant."
Lu Shian waved his hands quickly: "My princess, you misunderstood. I am not the Second Prince's confidant. I and the Second Prince..."
Lu Shian was speechless for a moment. She and the Second Prince really couldn't make it clear one sentence at a time: "I and the Second Prince are friends!"
The Queen Mother teased, "Yes, yes, they are friends now!"
When the princess met Lu Shian for the first time, she was surprised to see how graceful and elegant this girl was. After all, she was a country girl who had never seen the world. But she was not at all shy in front of the empress dowager!
The Queen Mother said to her daughter lovingly, "Do you know who invented the high-yield grain?"
The eldest princess suppressed her anger: "Could it be this girl?"
The Queen Mother couldn't hold back her smile: "My Hua'er is really smart. The high-yield grain was indeed developed by this girl!"
The princess has become accustomed to being praised by the Queen Mother and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it!
"Your name is Lu Shian?"
Lu Shian stood up and saluted: "Princess, yes!"
"How old is this year?"
"I am 16 this year!"
The eldest princess nodded: "Not bad!"
The Queen Mother seemed to have guessed her daughter's plan and said to the young man, "It seems that Shi'an has never been to the Imperial Garden. Ting'er, take her there for a look!"
"Qianqian, you can come with me. It's enough for your mother to stay here with me!"
After sending the young man away, the Queen Mother asked, "How has Ziming been these days?"
The eldest princess held her forehead with her hand. It really gave her a headache to have only this one precious son!
"The mark on his face is finally gone, but he has become famous in Anjing. He was a scoundrel to begin with, and now he is even more... I want to find him a powerful wife to take care of him, but there is no such a suitable one. There are only a few families with equal status, but who would be willing to marry their precious daughter to such a thing."
"I have told you before that you should not spoil your children too much, but you were unhappy about it and even got angry with your husband many times. Now you have tasted the bitter fruit."
"Mother, please stop lecturing me. I know I was wrong..."
"Are you interested in that girl?" The Queen Mother was of course referring to Lu Shian.
Just now, her daughter stared at Lu Shian and asked those questions, so as a mother, she naturally guessed something.
The eldest princess pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, do you think that girl can control Ziming?"
"This girl is amazing. Guan Ziming is naturally not a problem, but... this girl is not suitable."
"What's inappropriate about it? I don't mind her background, so what else is inappropriate about it?"
"You, you really are... She was brought here by Ting'er every time she came, and Ting'er always accompanied her. Guess why?"
The eldest princess looked bewildered: "That girl just said that they were just friends."
"You believe this? Did you see Ting'er's expression?"
"You also watched Ting'er grow up. He is always cold to everyone. The fact that he is willing to take this girl with him shows that she is special to him."
The princess felt quite sorry when she heard this: "Oh, it's so rare to meet such a powerful person!"
Royal Garden.
The three of them sat in the pavilion. It was already late autumn and there was nothing interesting to see in the Imperial Garden. Only the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and there was nothing else to see.
Li Hongting had a cold personality and was still quiet. Su Qianqian had gotten used to her being like this, which made things difficult for Lu Shian.
On one side was the unfamiliar Su Qianqian, and on the other was Li Hongting. She sat under the pavilion and exhaled heavily.
Seeing her bored look, Su Qianqian couldn't help but say, "Ms. Shi'an doesn't seem to like the Imperial Garden very much."
"I'm used to eating coarse grains, so I'm not used to this."
"Miss Shi'an is always good at joking. If you, who are used to eating coarse grains, can make the Royal Grandmother so happy, doesn't that mean that the Royal Grandmother also eats coarse grains?"
"You are joking, Princess. The Queen Mother is so noble. She has a big heart and is kind to the world. She is also sympathetic to the suffering of the people. How can a little village girl like me compare to her?"
"The way Miss Shi'an speaks and acts, you really can't tell she's a country girl."
"That's because the princess thinks highly of me."
Just then, a eunuch came over here quickly with his back bent. After he went up the steps and bowed to everyone, he whispered something in Li Hongting's ear.
After hearing this, Li Hongting said to him, "I understand. I will go there right now."
The eunuch got the answer and hunched over and retreated out of the pavilion.
Li Hongting said to Lu Shian, "I need to take care of something. If I can't come back in time, you will follow Princess Qianqian and leave the palace."
Lu Shian nodded: "Okay."
Li Hongting turned and left. Lu Shian smiled at Su Qianqian and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Princess Qianqian today."
Without outsiders around, Su Qianqian put away her humility and glanced at Lu Shian coldly.
"It's not a problem, I'm just afraid you don't dare."
Seeing that her tone and expression had changed, Lu Shian didn't give her a good look: "Why don't you pretend anymore, Princess?"
"You pretended very well just now!"
"It's still worse than a princess."
"Let's be frank. I want your followers. You can set the conditions as long as I can afford them!"
Lu Shian burst out laughing: "The princess has taken a fancy to the follower, this is a classic scene in storytelling!"
Su Qianqian didn't care about being laughed at: "You don't need to interfere in the affairs between this princess and him. I don't want to embarrass anyone. I only want him, as long as you are willing to give him to me. I am not interested in your affairs!"
"Since the princess has made it so clear, I will also make it clear to you. He is not my man. I helped him by coincidence before, and he promised to be my follower for a year. Now the time is up and he has left! You should solve the matter between him and you yourselves, and don't get me involved!"
"Do you think I will believe you when you say that?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Anyway, this is the way it is! I've made it very clear to you. If you have the ability to make him go with you, that would be the best. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Lu Shian, you are really cunning!"
"Really?" Lu Shian raised her eyebrows. No one had ever praised her like this before!
