"That makes a lot of sense!"
"Indeed!"
"Who is that?"
"The legitimate daughter from the Third Branch of the Marquis Residence!"
"No wonder!"
When Nalan Mingzhu returned, she heard people discussing Nalan Jinlian, all saying she was truly bold, yet also very intelligent.
Nalan Mingzhu wanted to ask what had happened, but she saw several young ladies approaching and talking to Nalan Jinlian.
They were polite and courteous.
So of them she had greeted before, but they didn’t really pay her any attention.
Now, however, they were all smiles for Nalan Jinlian.
Nalan Mingyi eventually sent a maid to invite Nalan Changlin, and even went to invite Zhou Yunshen.
Once the maid left, the young ladies imdiately quieted down, constantly tidying up their appearances. So even left to redo their makeup, or even changed their clothes.
Nalan Jinlian watched, a bit puzzled.
Is the Crown Prince really that deserving of such concern from these young ladies?
Or are they more concerned about his identity as Crown Prince, the future sovereign?
Nalan Changlin didn’t expect Nalan Mingyi to send a maid to invite him, and even more, to invite the Crown Prince.
After so thought, he said, "You head back first, I’ll go invite the Crown Prince!"
However, now that Prince Rui, Chu Yu, was also in the Marquis Residence, he couldn’t invite the Crown Prince without also inviting Prince Rui.
So he first went to Chu Yu’s courtyard, "Your Highness Prince Rui, today is my family’s fifth younger sister’s coming-of-age ceremony. The Crown Prince has already sent a gift, and my fifth younger sister sent soone to invite you for a small drink, would you like to join?"
Chu Yu, having been worried about how to legitimately enter the rear courtyard of the Marquis Residence, couldn’t possibly refuse now that the opportunity was brought to him.
"Alright!"
He instructed Anyi to prepare a gift and also changed into a different outfit.
"Then I’ll wait for you outside, Your Highness; I’ll go over to the Crown Prince now!"
"Alright!"
Chu Yu responded coolly.
Nalan Changlin breathed a sigh of relief.
Dealing with soone so hard to get along with, it’s hard to withstand the pressure.
When Nalan Changlin arrived, Zhou Yunshen was talking with Teng Fei, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Why have you co?" Zhou Yunshen asked indifferently.
"Replying to Your Highness, it’s because the fifth younger sister sent soone to invite you over for a small drink, and I thought that since Prince Rui is also at the Marquis Residence, I invited Prince Rui as well!"
Zhou Yunshen’s expression changed imdiately upon hearing this, "What did you say? Who else did you invite?"
"Prince Rui!" Nalan Changlin whispered, not understanding what he did wrong.
What could have made the Crown Prince so angry?
Zhou Yunshen pointed at Nalan Changlin, "You, you fool, quickly send soone over and lead your sixth younger sister away. Make sure Prince Rui doesn’t see her!"
"..."
Though Nalan Changlin didn’t understand, he didn’t dare delay. He imdiately told the servant beside him, "Go right away and say mother invites the sixth younger sister over to talk, and quickly go give mother a heads up!"
"Yes!"
The servant took the order and ran off imdiately.
Zhou Yunshen looked at Nalan Changlin, not knowing what to say.
Teng Fei’s expression was also sowhat unpleasant. He followed Zhou Yunshen out of the courtyard and saw Nalan Changlin still standing there, pale. He went up and gave him a pull, "These matters are difficult to explain now, but rember, under no circumstances can Prince Rui et your sixth younger sister!"
That’s all that could be said; whether Nalan Changlin could figure it out wasn’t sothing he could elaborate on further.
Though Nalan Changlin didn’t fully understand why, he didn’t dare risk being seen by Prince Rui in this state.
He took a few deep breaths, patted his face a few tis, and hurriedly followed after them.
