[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"Hey, is Wu Mingyu looking at us?"

This sentence rang in Rong Enqing's ears like thunder.

This sentence was said by Princess Lingchuan.

Rong Enqing thought that it was her illusion that she saw Wu Mingyu looking over here. Unexpectedly, Princess Lingchuan also saw it!

Then it wasn't her illusion.

But why did Wu Mingyu look this way?

Is it because Princess Lingchuan is sitting here? Or is it because of Princess Anyang?

Coupled with Wu Mingyu's fake smile... Rong Enqing couldn't help but have an absurd idea in his mind.

Just when Rong Enqing was laughing and crying at his ridiculous thoughts, he heard the Princess of Anyang County sneer disdainfully: "Are you blind? Which eye saw him looking over here? Besides, when he looked over here, was he looking at you? Or at me? Tsk!"

"Xie Huan, do you really have to talk to me like this?"

Princess Lingchuan stared at Princess Anyang angrily. She just said something casually. Did this woman have to be so harsh on her? Besides, she really saw the groom looking at them!

Princess Anyang wanted to say something, but Rong Enqing stopped her by shaking his head.

They then turned their attention to the newlyweds in the field again.

At this time, Liang Yulan and Wu Mingyu were already kneeling in front of the Liang couple, listening to their teachings.

Mr. Liang said only a few words, but Cui said a lot, and even wiped away her tears while speaking.

The distance was too far, so Rong Enqing didn't hear what the Liang couple said, but when he thought about it, it was nothing more than those words.

Soon, the two stood up and began to walk out, just as they had come, neither hurried nor slow.

Just as the two were about to step out of the lobby, Wu Mingyu tilted his head slightly and glanced in the direction of Rong Enqing and the others again.

This time, Princess Lingchuan didn't see it, and Princess Anyang didn't see it, but Rong Enqing, who had been paying attention to Wu Mingyu from beginning to end, saw it clearly.

Although it was just a quick glance, Rong Enqing could see infinite attachment and deep sorrow in those eyes.

Did she over-interpret it? Or was it that Wu Mingyu had no choice but to break off the engagement and marry Liang Yulan?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Rong Enqing couldn't help but deny it.

If Wu Mingyu had not been in love with Liang Yulan, given the relationship between the Wu family and the Xie family and the Yang family, why would the Wu family break off the engagement with Princess Anyang?

If it wasn't because of love, why would Wu Mingyu choose Liang Yulan instead of Princess Anyang?

In terms of appearance, the bright and elegant Princess Anyang beats the little white flower Liang Yulan. In terms of wealth, Princess Anyang, who owns the entire inheritance of the former General Weiyuan and his wife, has a hair thicker than Liang Yulan's waist.

If we have to say what Liang Yulan has that makes her better than Princess Anyang, it is that Liang Yulan has both parents and an aunt who is a royal concubine and can help Wu Mingyu in his official career.

But, can this really be the reason why Wu Mingyu chose Liang Yulan?

Rong Enqing couldn't understand.

Turning his head to look at Princess Anyang, who was staring at Princess Lingchuan and didn't take Wu Mingyu seriously at all, Rong Enqing couldn't help but smile with relief. Princess Anyang didn't care about Wu Mingyu anymore, so why was she still paying attention to Wu Mingyu?

***

In the Wu family's wedding procession, a plump, white man with smooth skin winked at his companions with a lewd look on his face: "Did you see the Princess of Anyang just now?"

The companion glanced at Wu Mingyu who was riding in front of him, and seeing that he did not notice the situation behind him, he lowered his voice to respond to the fat white man: "I saw it. Wow, it's hard not to see the jewels all over his body."

At this moment, the person walking in front of the two turned around and said, "When I saw Princess Anyang's tacky outfit, I suddenly understood Brother Mingyu. If it were me, I would choose Miss Liang too."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled.

But the fat white man who spoke first refuted the two of them, saying, "If you ask me, the county lord is better! The county lord has a title, which is a symbol of identity and status. The county lord has a fortune, so much that she can't spend it all on eating, drinking and having fun for a lifetime.

"Think about it, if you marry the county lady, you will have status, position, and money, and you can just lie down and enjoy your life! Wouldn't that mean you can just enjoy yourself? Why would you still have to work hard?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two people burst into laughter.

"You? You still want to marry a rich and prestigious county lady? Hahaha, oh no, I'm dying of laughter!"

"Zhou Changlin, are you dreaming in broad daylight? If you want to rely on women to support you, you have to look like Brother Mingyu!"

Facing his companions' ridicule, the fat white man curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal about marrying the county lady? Have you seen the man next to Anyang County Lady?"

The two looked at the fat white man Zhou Changlin strangely.

There were two people sitting next to Princess Anyang, one of them was an old woman. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be Lady Rong, the Dowager Lady of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, who was on good terms with Princess Anyang.

A young lady of the same age, dressed elegantly, who looked like a rich girl from some wealthy family.

However, Zhou Changlin suddenly asked these two people what their intentions were?

"The one next to Princess Anyang is Princess Lingchuan! The daughter of Concubine Liang and the sister of the third prince! That's the woman I want to marry!" Zhou Changlin said proudly, blinking his squinting eyes that were squeezed together by flesh.

The two were stunned by Zhou Changlin's words. When they came to their senses, they couldn't help laughing.

"Just you? And you want to marry a princess?"

"Hahaha, you're making me laugh to death! I just found out today that Brother Changlin is so funny!"

"Is he being funny? I think he's crazy! He's risking his life!"

……

The three of them were making a mess, causing Wu Mingyu, who was on horseback in front, to look back frequently.

"Forget it. You won't believe me even if I tell you now. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, your jaws will drop to the ground and you won't be able to pick them up again!"

Zhou Changlin looked at his two companions and curled his lips in dissatisfaction. My buddies are excellent in every way except that they are not very good-looking, okay?

Born into a Jiangnan family, he is rich, powerful, and has a strong background. He is a second-class Jinshi in this year's imperial examination and is employed by the Hanlin Academy. He is talented and knowledgeable.

Given his conditions, Princess Shang is only hindering his bright future, okay?

However, he doesn't care about his future! Eating, drinking, having fun, and lying down for the rest of his life are his ultimate goals!

In the palace, Concubine Liang personally poured a cup of ginseng tea and presented it to Emperor Taihe.

After Emperor Taihe took the teacup, Concubine Liang asked, "Your Majesty, what have you thought about the matter I requested the other day?"

Emperor Taihe took a sip of ginseng tea and said calmly, "Have you thought it through? If the marriage is settled, it cannot be changed."

"I have thought it through. Lingchuan will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If we don't settle the marriage, we will be criticized." Concubine Liang said firmly: "I have seen Changlin twice. He is well-educated and has a good personality. The more I see him, the more satisfied I am. He is a perfect match for Lingchuan."
