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

Yun Shu was embarrassed, knowing that she had said something wrong, and quickly changed the subject: "Hey, county lady, what do you think of my makeup? I always feel that my face is too red, like I'm in an opera. But the nanny insisted that this is festive. Can you help me take a look?"

Princess Anyang looked left and right, then nodded with a smile, "I think it's good. I must charm the groom to death when I get back."

"County lady, you are teasing me again." Yun Shu blushed shyly. But at least the previous topic was brought to an end.

Li Qingyun, Liang Yulan and others also came forward to express their gratitude.

The atmosphere in the room became lively again.

Not long after, someone came outside to report that the Xu family's bridal sedan was about to arrive.

Rong Enqing gave Yun Shu a few instructions and then left with everyone.

By the time Yun Shu left, Rong Enqing's banquet was about to begin.

"County Lady, can I sit at the same table with you?" Liang Yulan took the initiative to approach County Lady Anyang.

Princess Anyang was slightly stunned, but still nodded.

So Liang Yulan sat down next to Princess Anyang.

Also sitting at the same table were Rong Enqing and Cao's mother.

Because they expected that there would not be many guests today, Cao had asked Rong Enqing in advance and prepared square tables for four people. With only a few people sitting at each table, they managed to fit five tables.

Seeing Liang Yulan sitting next to Princess Anyang, Rong Enqing was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything.

But she always felt it was very awkward when she saw Liang Yulan leaning close to Anyang County Lady and talking to her in an intimate manner.

"County Lady, I actually came here with a mission today." Liang Yulan smiled embarrassedly, "My aunt said that she hasn't seen you for a long time and missed you very much. She asked you when you would be free to come to the palace and talk to her."

Princess Anyang pursed her lips and said in a sullen tone: "I'll go to the palace when I'm free." These words were obviously perfunctory.

Liang Yulan looked at Anyang County Lady with a sad face and said in a wronged tone: "County Lady, if you don't give me a definite answer, I won't be able to explain to my aunt when I go back."

Princess Anyang frowned and was about to get impatient when Liang Yulan suddenly changed her expression and chuckled, "Hahaha, I was just kidding."

"Don't take it seriously, County Lady. I'm just delivering a message for my aunt." Liang Yulan moved closer to Anyang County Lady and said in a low voice, "I want to be friends with you now. I don't want to get involved in the affairs between you and my cousin."

Princess Anyang turned to look at Liang Yulan in surprise.

Liang Yulan's expression, tone, and intimate behavior...it was as if she had been a good friend of hers for many years.

But, they clearly started out as enemies! Even if the grudge was resolved now, Liang Yulan shouldn't be so close to her.

Liang Yulan seemed to see through what Anyang County Lady was thinking, and said with a smile: "I am now the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. The Wu family, the county lady's family, and the county lady's adoptive father, General Yang's family, are all old friends. I think it's not that difficult to understand that I can be on good terms with the county lady, right?

"Besides, what happened in the past was just the recklessness of youth, and the past is the past. Besides, haven't we already reconciled our differences?"

Princess Anyang nodded, "You are right. What's past is past."

"So we are friends now, right?" Liang Yulan looked at Princess Anyang with a smile.

Princess Anyang smiled stiffly, not giving Liang Yulan too much face, and nodded slightly, "I guess so."

Although Anyang County Lord's words were ambiguous, Liang Yulan immediately became happy, "I will be a good friend of the county lord in the future."

Then, he picked up the cup in front of him and said, "I toast to the county lady."

Princess Anyang raised her glass and clinked it with hers.

At the same time, Wang Xueyao and Liu Ruowei at another table stared at Princess Anyang and Liang Yulan's every move with frosty faces.

"Okay, stop looking." Li Qingyun reminded quietly, "If you look again, Miss Liang will not regard you as more important than the county lady. I advise you to think more about your future and stop following Miss Liang around.

"We are all the same age. Miss Liang is already married. I am also engaged. But what about you? Are you still dreaming?

"You don't still think that Miss Liang will help you become the Third Prince's consort, do you?

"Haha, you have been following her for more than a year or two. If she wanted to help, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

At first, Li Qingyun was one of the dreamers. However, after she and Liang Yulan parted ways at the beginning of last year, she saw the truth clearly.

No matter who they are, it is impossible for them to marry the third prince.

Because their status was not enough to be the Third Prince's principal wife, and it was impossible for Concubine Liang to marry a concubine for the Third Prince before he married a principal wife.

Therefore, it was impossible for them to marry the Third Prince during these two years when they were of the right age to marry.

When the Third Prince marries a wife and has a legitimate son, and can take concubines, they will have already become old maids. How can they possibly become concubines?

No matter what, their dreams will always be just dreams.

The fact is, Liang Yulan was just using her cousin as bait to keep them hooked.

If they really think Liang Yulan will help and bring them together with the Third Prince, then they are truly foolish.

Wang Xueyao retracted her gaze and glared at Li Qingyun fiercely, "Yulan and I are the best sisters! What's Xie Huan? She even beat Yulan in public! How could Yulan value her?"

Liu Ruowei also looked at Li Qingyun with a bad face, "You traitor, what qualifications do you have to talk to us?"

Wang Xueyao also nodded in agreement: "That's right! Do you think you can sow discord between us and Yulan with just a few words? Oh, we are not like you! A two-faced fence-sitter!"

Li Qingyun shook her head. She had said everything she needed to say. If they didn't believe her, she could do nothing about it.

In the beginning, Liang Yulan had been so hostile to Princess Anyang because of Wu Mingyu, and Princess Anyang had made her lose face in public! But now, she has lowered her attitude and taken the initiative to make friends with Princess Anyang.

Isn't it easy for such a scheming person to tease and control simple people like Wang Xueyao and Liu Ruowei?

She subconsciously glanced over there. Should she find an opportunity to remind Princess Anyang?

She always felt that Liang Yulan had ulterior motives in deliberately befriending Princess Anyang.

Rong Enqing and Li Qingyun had the same idea.

So, after the banquet was over, Rong Enqing kept Princess Anyang alone to talk and reminded her to be careful with Liang Yulan.

Princess Anyang waved her hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam, I know what's going on and I will be on guard against her in the future."

"It's good that you know what's going on." Rong Enqing felt relieved. "But what's going on with Liang Yulan? Why is she always staring at you? Didn't she marry Wu Mingyu as she wished?"

Princess Anyang was also innocent. "Who knows? Forget it, let's not talk about her."
