In the capital, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and Jing Ran, who was instructed to do things before the trip, is naturally not idle.

Jing Ran was busy, Prince Heng was not idle, he was conspiring with Princess Heng at this time, "He is already a big man, what does it look like to be so idle all the time?" ”

Prince Heng didn't know that Jing Ran was secretly helping Jing Yu with his errands, and he loved and hated this only sister-in-law.

Princess Heng looked at Prince Heng, who looked helpless, and chuckled, "You, just say so on your lips, aren't you reluctant to push him in front of people in your heart?" ”

"Otherwise, how could you let him go for so long?"

"That's right, now that the situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, I, as Zongzheng, have been cautious and dare not take the lead, how can I be willing to put my son in front of others and become a target?" Prince Heng sighed, "It's just that he's not too young, do you think you should tell him about his family earlier?" If you have a wife and children, you won't be so lazy, so I can talk to him about political affairs? ”

When Princess Heng heard this, she also felt that it made sense.

Jing Ran is indeed not young, and it is time to talk about family affairs, but looking at it, which daughter in the entire capital is suitable?

"So what do you think? Is there a suitable candidate? Princess Heng asked Prince Heng what he meant.

"What can I think, old man?" Prince Heng glanced at Princess Heng, Princess Heng reached out and pinched Prince Heng's arm, Prince Heng begged for mercy again and again, "Madame, spare your life." Madame was merciful. Only then did Princess Heng put down her hand.

"Why don't you have a banquet for Madame? Invite all the unmarried and unmarried women in the capital to the mansion for a good inspection, what does Mrs. think? Prince Heng seemed to invite merit, and looked at Princess Heng with shining eyes, waiting for Princess Heng's praise.

"That's a good idea, then I've been preparing for the past two days, sending an invitation to these ladies in the capital, and inviting you to get together in the house." Princess Heng felt that this move was feasible and agreed with Prince Heng's proposal.

"Then it's decided." Prince Heng said with a smile.

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and the parties involved in this episode were still kept in the dark.

After two days, the most lively thing in the capital was nothing more than Prince Heng's invitation to the Beijing ladies to participate in the banquet. The envy and jealousy of not getting the invitation, while the person who got the invitation is sad.

Why?

Jing Ran's reputation is notoriously muddy in the capital, who wants to marry the daughter of the big family? Even if there is Prince Heng, an upright man, people don't want to.

And those who didn't receive the invitation letter are naturally small families, they don't care about Jing Ran's reputation, they only care about status, and they married Jing Ran, that is, the princess, they are relatives of the emperor, how can they not be moved?

For a while, the ladies in the capital either fell ill, or went out to the Zhuangzi Temple to hide.

And there are many relatives who have not been in touch for 800 years, and the distant families have gone to their own families in the capital to fight the autumn breeze, which is just in line with the wishes of these big families, and they are accepted by the boat, and the host of this banquet, Prince Heng, does not know about it.

On the contrary, after the well-informed Jing Ran found out, he was still wondering why the ladies in the capital suddenly had such an abnormality, and thought that there was something unusual about these big families, and ordered the people below to pay more attention.

On the third day, when it was time for Prince Heng to hold a banquet, Prince Heng got up early in the morning to prepare, and used a reason in advance to stop Jing Ran in the mansion and not let him go out. After an hour of breakfast, one after another, a daughter came to Prince Heng's mansion with posts.

Before the people arrived, Prince Heng naturally did not come back, and naturally did not know that the daughter who had arrived now was completely different from what she imagined.

It is worth mentioning that among the many invitations, only Zhang Qian's daughter Gu Yan came by herself, Gu Yan knew Jing Ran's thoughts, and she was very surprised to get the invitation from Prince Heng this time, Zhang Qian, Mrs. Hou, naturally knew Jing Ran's reputation, and she also wanted her daughter to say that she was sick and couldn't come, but Gu Yan was unwilling, helpless, Zhang Qian had to follow Gu Yan's wishes and let Gu Yan come to the banquet.

In addition, there is another person who is also in the invitation letter of Prince Heng, and he also came in person, that is, Fang Yuan's sister Fang Dai.

The moment Gu Yan saw Fang Dai, her eyes lit up, but Fang Dai was in her heart for a while, and greeted everyone with a smile on her face, among these ladies, Gu Yan only knew Fang Dai, and walked straight towards Fang Dai.

"You're here too." Gu Yan greeted warmly, and at this time, she didn't realize that the people who came here to participate in the banquet were all her competitors.

"Well, my sister is too." Fang Dai replied with a shallow smile.

"Let's go, let's go over there." Saying that, Gu Yan pulled Fang Dai to the place where she was sitting and asked Fang Dai to sit down, "I don't know what Prince Heng invited these people to do, I don't know any of them, fortunately you are here." ”

Fang Dai was a little surprised after listening to Gu Yan's words, how could Gu Yan say that she was also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and Princess Heng's intentions could obviously be guessed, why did she ask stupidly?

But after thinking about it, Fang Dai thought of her brother and said that this Gu Yan is very simple and simple under the protection of her family, she has no superfluous thoughts, and she will not figure out people's intentions, and it is precisely because of this temperament that Shang Liyuan treats her differently.

And Fang Dai absolutely admires Shang Liyuan, so no matter what kind of person Gu Yan is, Fang Dai will at least be polite and friendly to Gu Yan on the surface.

"I heard that Prince Heng is going to pick a princess for Ran Shizi. Sister doesn't know? Fang Dai raised her eyebrows and asked, as if surprised.

"What did you say?" When Gu Yan heard this, she raised her voice, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, Gu Yan looked around, smiled embarrassedly, and then whispered to Fang Dai again, "What you said is true?" ”

Fang Dai nodded, a little surprised by Gu Yan's reaction, she was just making up the numbers today, but Gu Yan didn't look like it, which made Fang Dai a little interested.

"However, how can the prince say that he is also the prince's son-in-law, how did he come here?" Gu Yan pointed to the daughters around her in confusion.

"My sister also knows that Ran Shizi's reputation in the city, if it is really all after the famous family, looking at the concubines of the family, it will be amazing." Fang Dai is not hidden.

Gu Yan thought about it, yes, how could Jing Ran be the first choice of a famous family?

"What about you?" Gu Yan suddenly looked at Fang Dai with strange eyes, and only then did she realize in her heart, this is a rival in love, it is her opponent, she unconsciously opened the distance between her and Fang Dai, although she likes her and wants to rub Fang Dai and her brother, but for so long, she has not had a chance, and now that she has come out together in Prince Heng's mansion, she naturally has to be on guard.
