Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Invitation
I saw Liu Wanyan standing in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Nianru asked.
The corners of Liu Wanyan's mouth hooked up a smile, and she said a little proudly: "Naturally, I am waiting for the Seventh Prince here."
Concubine Yao supported Liu Wanyan and the Seven Princes together, but the Seven Princes didn't like Liu Wanyan. So on weekdays, even if Liu Wanyan went to find the Seventh Prince, he would be politely rejected by the Seventh Prince for various reasons.
Whether the twisted melon is sweet or not, of course, only you can know.
Seeing that she was arrogant and proud because of the Seventh Prince, Liu Nianru shouted loudly: "Seventh Prince, your fiancée has come to you, and she is blocking our way for this, please come and solve it."
Xiao Yan, who was originally behind the carriage, heard this, drove to the front of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw Liu Wanyan with a shy face.
"Seventh Prince, Wan Yan has been waiting for you here for a long time." Liu Wanyan looked delicate and lovely, and said to Xiao Yan.
She knew that the Seven Princes were busy, so she took advantage of the opportunity for the Seven Princes and the Northern Army to see them off, and waited on their inevitable path, just to be able to see Xiao Yan, so infatuated, it was really emotional.
Seeing her shyness, Liu Nianru couldn't stop rolling her eyes.
She closed the curtain angrily and said to Duan Bailan, "Is the ancient folk style so open now?" In broad daylight, he can actually stop the man he likes. ”
Duan Bailan was puzzled for a moment, and then said, "What is ancient times?" However, Da'an is prosperous and rich, and it is normal for the people to be open, both men and women can pursue their favorite objects, what does this have to do with gender? ”
Liu Nianru was a little surprised, this feudal dynasty is quite advancing with the times, Duan Bailan, as a powerful man, would think so.
She didn't believe that the modern society thousands of years later would be inferior to the ancient, so she asked, "Then you here, can a woman be an official?" Can a woman be in the army? Can a woman do business? ”
"What are you asking for?" Duan Bailan was a little unsure, but she still answered her well: "There are female officials in the palace, and female officials also have grades. As for whether a woman can join the army, you are not in charge of the Northern Army now, and you are also named the lord of the war forest. There are also those who are in business, and the female disciple of the musical instrument master Han Yuemeng, Han Xiaoxiao is a famous businessman in Kyoto, and almost controls the economic lifeline of Daan. ”
In his opinion, these are all things to be taken for granted.
Liu Nianru was shocked, she didn't expect Da'an to be so open, sure enough, the more developed the place, the more attention is paid to equality between men and women.
She thought that maybe she could train some women to be assassins, after all, although women were not as strong and explosive as men, they had more endurance than men.
If there can be such a group of women, who can be used by her, it will definitely be the sharpest sword under her hand.
When she returned to the palace, she would definitely try.
She was still pondering, and then she heard Liu Wanyan's delicate voice again: "The Seven Princes are the dragons and phoenixes among people, my father has long wanted to drink and talk with the Seven Princes, I don't know if the Seven Princes are willing to go to the General's Mansion to sit down and catch up with the old days?"
Xiao Yan just wanted to refuse, but the voice of the prince came from behind him.
"I said why did the seventh brother suddenly run to the front, it turned out that there was a beautiful girl waiting for him in front! Miss Liu Er, do you mind if this prince also goes to the General's Mansion to sit down? The beautiful lady he said was naturally Liu Wanyan.
Liu Wanyan's face changed slightly, she should have thought that the prince was here, she not only praised the Seventh Prince in front of the prince as a dragon and phoenix among people, but also invited the prince to the General's Mansion in a grand manner.
Who doesn't know that the DPRK and China are divided into two parties, one is the princeling party and the other is the Seven Princes' Party.
"Miss Liu Er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the real dragon and phoenix among people, as for the matter of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid I still have something to do, and it's inconvenient to go." Xiao Yan said thoughtfully.
Although he was very ambitious, he didn't want to expose it in front of the prince.
General Liu married his second daughter to him, and then invited him to the General's Mansion, which goes without saying that General Liu is going to stand in the party of the Seven Princes.
Liu Wanyan originally wanted to admit it, but when she heard Xiao Yan's words, she was suddenly a little unhappy, and pretended to be more charming: "It's me who is abrupt, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a talent, my father often praises him." It's just that in my heart, the Seventh Prince is the best in my heart. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand, as if he didn't care about the partisan disputes in the court, and said: "In a woman's heart, naturally her sweetheart is the best, and what I just did was just a joke."
Liu Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Prince Xie understands."
However, how could Liu Nianru easily let go of this opportunity to dig a pit for Liu Wanyan? She suddenly thought of what would happen if General Liu knew that Liu Wanyan had invited the crown prince and the seventh prince back to the mansion at the same time.
So she got out of the carriage and said loudly: "My father has also admired the prince for a long time, if the prince can come to the palace, he will definitely be able to make the general's mansion shine." Could it be that the crown prince and the seventh prince could bear to refuse the invitation of such a beautiful woman? ”
As soon as her words fell, Liu Wanyan's face immediately darkened.
She obviously didn't invite the prince, Liu Nianru actually dug a pit for her.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pondered for a moment and said to the Seventh Prince: "Seventh brother, what do you see? This Miss Liu Er is your fiancée, and General Liu is your father-in-law! ”
Xiao Yan was blocked for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Liu Nianru continued to strike while the iron was hot: "The Seventh Prince is sincere in his love for Wan, and he will definitely agree." Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my father is loyal to the Emperor, and so is you. Why don't you go to the General's Mansion and sit down, and you can also enhance the friendship between the monarch and the minister. ”
The prince's expression was a little moved. Liu Wanyan bit her lip and said, "Sister is really enthusiastic."
"How can I not think about my sister? After all, this is also a piece of my sister's kindness. Liu Nianru said with a smile.
She looked at Liu Wanyan's appearance and felt very happy.
"In that case, let's go." The prince said happily to Xiao Yan.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, so what else can Xiao Yan say, naturally he can only nod.
"Now that the matter has been settled, please give way, we are leaving." After Liu Nianru finished speaking, she didn't look at her face, and got into the carriage in a good mood.
However, as soon as she arrived at the carriage, she found that her waist was locked.
Duan Bailan pressed against her forehead and asked, "Is this king the best in your eyes?"
"Huh?" Liu Nianru didn't react for a while.
"In the eyes of the second young lady, the Seventh Prince is the best, so what about in your eyes? Isn't this king? Duan Bailan asked again.
His breath made her a little uneasy.
She stumbled and said, "How can this be the same? Liu Wanyan likes Xiao Yan, that's naturally the best, but I-"
"But what are you?" The man's breath suddenly hit, and Liu Nianru's eyes widened, looking at the handsome face in front of him who was only a stone's throw away from him.
