The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

As time went by, carriages drove into Baxingfang and stopped near Yanlou. The people sitting in those carriages were naturally noble ladies from the capital. Because it was still early, they did not get off the carriages, but sat in the carriages with dignity, waiting.

"I wonder if Princess Mingyu will come?" Someone was discussing quietly in the crowd.

"That shouldn't be the case. Princess Mingyu is in poor health. She seems to have barely left the house since His Majesty ascended the throne."

The people were more curious about the high and mighty Princess Mingyu, but they did not dare to talk too much about it, after all, she was a member of the royal family.

During the succession struggle a few years ago, many members of the imperial family perished. Princess Mingyu's mother was the eldest princess, and it was said that the eldest princess died saving His Majesty. Therefore, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the rest of the imperial family was banished to their fiefdoms. Only Princess Mingyu was qualified to remain in the capital. Although she was nominally a princess, her treatment was no worse than that of the princesses...

Just as the people were talking about it, a carriage stopped directly in front of the main entrance of Yanlou. Then two figures, supported by maids, jumped out of the carriage briskly.

"Yu Rao, are we here too early?" The girl in the green dress looked at the locked door of Yanlou, then looked at the girl in the yellow dress next to her, and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice.

Hearing the words of the girl in green dress, Du Yurao just smiled faintly: "It's late, look, everyone is here, right? It's just that they don't want to come down."

A noble lady in the capital must behave with the reserve of a noble lady!

Du Yurao also understood, but she didn’t want to comply anymore. She wanted to be the first guest to enter Yanlou today!

"Yu Rao, then...should we go back to the car?" The girl in the green dress looked at the crowd around her and pulled Du Yu Rao's sleeve with some concern.

"Sisi, why don't you go back to the car first? I want to be the first customer anyway." Du Yurao's tone was very firm.

Ruan Chengsi, who was standing by, hesitated for a moment after hearing Du Yurao's words, but did not move.

She also wants to be among the first group to go in, that would be more interesting.

"I'll wait here with you. I guess the door will open soon." Ruan Chengsi answered with certainty.

Ruan Chengsi was born in the Annan Marquis Mansion. The Ruan family's ancestors were founding heroes of the Qingyun Kingdom, so the Ruan family's title was hereditary. However, by the generation of Ruan Chengsi's father, although he was still a marquis, this was the only title left, and he actually had no real power in the court.

Fortunately, the Ruan family had accumulated a lot of wealth over the generations and had in-laws with other large families. Ruan Chengsi's father was also a man of great social skills, so Ruan Chengsi was able to get along well in the capital...

After the two of them stopped at the entrance of Yanlou, the carriage behind them was driven to the entrance of a nearby alley by the coachman. The ladies in the other carriages were a little anxious at this time. They also wanted to get off, but they felt it was not good to be watched by others after getting off.

Just as everyone was hesitating, they saw a luxurious carriage with two rows of servants coming in...

"Princess Mingyu is here!"

Zhang Fulai rushed into Yanlou in a hurry and spoke nervously and excitedly.

"She really came?" Gu Yanhuan was stunned. She didn't expect that the princess would really come.

After all, this royal relative has always used the excuse of "being ill" to basically never leave the princess's mansion and never interact with other families in the capital.

This time, Yun Yue would be the first one to send her an invitation. In fact, she didn't expect Princess Mingyu to really show up. She just used it as a gimmick to help promote Yan Lou and increase its value.

Who would have thought that Princess Mingyu would be so considerate and actually come in person.

Princess Mingyu.

When Jiang Jiang heard the name again, she couldn't help but think of the story about Princess Mingyu in the original novel.

This one is really weak and cannot take care of herself.

When the eldest princess was still alive, Emperor Jianping was only the third prince. He often took Gu Yanqing to visit the eldest princess.

So Princess Mingyu and Gu Yanqing have known each other for many years.

But later, the eldest princess had an accident and her husband also died. Princess Mingyu lost two close relatives at once and was devastated. She has been ill ever since.

She didn't want to see anyone anymore, and gradually became estranged from Zhou Chen, who ascended the throne, not to mention Gu Yanqing, who helped Zhou Chen seize the throne.

There is not much description of this princess in the novel. Jiang Jiang only knows that she was a sick beauty who had little time left to live. After her death, Emperor Jianping buried her with the etiquette of a princess.

"It's almost time." Yun Yue looked at the hourglass behind her and said, "It's time for our Yanlou to open for business!"

Now that the princess has arrived, they naturally cannot keep her waiting.

**

Outside Yanlou.

The onlookers were very enthusiastic because Princess Mingyu really came. Not only did she come in person, but she also brought a lot of gifts!

This……

Could it be that Princess Mingyu has a close relationship with the owner of Yanlou?

Although there have been rumors among the people that Yanlou was opened by the Gu family, Prime Minister Gu... was too far away from the common people. They didn't know Gu Yanqing or Gu Yanhuan at all.

All they knew was that he was a big shot whom they could never afford to offend in their entire lives.

"Why is she here?"

Liu Ruyue also got off the carriage at this time. Seeing the luxurious carriage of Princess Mingyu slowly approaching, Liu Ruyue frowned slightly, but she soon returned to normal. Like everyone else, she raised a respectful smile on her face.

"It's really Princess Mingyu. I recognize the emblem of her mansion."

Ruan Chengsi pulled Du Yurao's arm and spoke excitedly.

Du Yurao naturally saw it as well. The position where they were standing actually gave them the clearest view.

But Du Yurao was curious. Could it be that Princess Mingyu was also a fan of Mr. Liao Zhai's books? Otherwise, why would she appear here?

"Crench."

At this moment, the door of Yanlou was slowly opened from the inside.

Just as the gate of Yanlou opened, Princess Mingyu's carriage arrived just outside the gate of Yanlou.

"Princess Mingyu has arrived."

A maid with sharp eyes spoke in a clear voice.

"I've met the princess."

The noble ladies around had already gotten off the car at this time, and everyone bowed their heads and saluted. At the gate of Yanlou, Yunyue, Gu Yanhuan and others naturally saluted as well.

Jiang Jiang mingled among the crowd, secretly raised his eyes, and looked at the woman who slowly walked down from the carriage.

Princess Mingyu got off the carriage with the help of her maid, her thin body seemed like she was about to collapse at any moment.

"Everyone, please don't be so formal."

A soft yet pleasant female voice slowly reached everyone's ears.

Jiang Jiang noticed that Princess Mingyu looked very pale. She had a small, oval face, and perhaps because she was too thin, her eyes looked very big.

She is really a sickly beauty, I feel pity for her.

"Today is the auspicious day for the opening of Yan Lou. I came here just to join in the fun and bring a small gift for... the younger sister of the Gu family."

Princess Mingyu's voice was still soft, but what she said surprised everyone.

Princess Mingyu and Gu Yanhuan have a personal relationship?

This...how come I've never heard anyone talk about it!
