The prince is very cruel

"Sister-in-law, you are truly a fairy!"

"If I could find such a beautiful wife, my father would jump out of his coffin with joy!"

puff……

Qin Yao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Guan Ning was even more amused and helpless: "You really are a genius."

"Given the attention you made at Shangyin Pavilion yesterday, I'm sure many young ladies will ask you out for a boat ride, right?"

"Hey, Brother Guan, you don't know this!" Chen Tu had a sad face, but he didn't show any shyness and just started to complain.

"I don't like those who like me."

"The ones I like, they don't like me."

"What about those who like each other?" Qin Yao asked curiously while massaging Guan Ning's shoulders.

"Then her parents will definitely look down on me." Chen Tu blurted out with a bitter look on his face, which made people laugh.

"Hiss, that's not right. I remember that your eldest sister wasn't a concubine in the harem? There should be a lot of people trying to curry favor with you. Besides, you've become a poet now, so why would they look down on you?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

Chen Tu said bitterly: "Brother Guan, although my sister is a concubine, there must be hundreds or even thousands of people like her in the harem."

"Besides, in the capital, it's not uncommon for a single brick to knock down a prince or nobleman."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning and the other fell silent.

What Chen Tu said was not without reason. The Emperor Wu of the Wu Dynasty had 3,000 concubines in his harem, which was more than enough. There were tens of thousands of them. According to their ranks, there were Empress, Imperial Noble Consort, Noble Consort, Zhaoyi, and Noble Consort...

An ordinary concubine would have no idea where to rank unless she was the only one favored by the emperor.

Noticing the silence in the atmosphere, Chen Tu forced a smile and appeared very optimistic.

"But anyway, after the poetry reading, my connections have improved a lot."

"By the way, Brother Guan."

"Take this. My eldest sister asked me to come and thank you. But don't worry, although she realized that the poem was not written by me and questioned you, I didn't tell you who you were specifically."

Qin Yao on the side was shocked. What does that mean?

Was the poem in Shangyin Pavilion that shook the capital written by Guan Ning? Her beautiful eyes widened.

Guan Ning took a look and saw that a large purse of gold beans was an astronomical figure.

But he immediately refused: "No, you take it back."

Chen Tu was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Brother Guan, why? Do you think it's not enough?"

"Or do you also look down on me, Chen Tu?"

Guan Ning shook his head: "I helped you, and you helped me. If you give me money again, it means you don't consider me a friend anymore."

"Take the money back. I absolutely cannot accept it."

Chen Tu frowned slightly when he heard this. He wanted to insist, but Guan Ning looked serious and said, "This... okay."

Guan Ning saw that he was worried, so he took the initiative to say: "Brother Chen, although we have just met not long ago, we can be regarded as friends who hit it off right away."

"If there's anything, you can just say it boldly."

Chen Tu was slightly surprised: "Brother Guan, can you even see this?"

Guan Ning smiled and thought that your forehead was full of hesitation to speak.

"Well, it seems that nothing can be hidden from Brother Guan. In fact, I came here this time to ask Brother Guan something."

"What's the matter?" Guan Ning felt that he was in a bad mood, and was not as proud as he was yesterday.

Chen Tu sighed: "Alas."

"Brother Guan, to be honest, my eldest sister is not doing well in the harem and wants me to have a better future, but I am not up to the task. After being summoned by His Majesty, there was no follow-up.

"I don't know what to do or who to talk to."

"After thinking about it, I can only find you, Brother Guan."

Guan Ning and Qin Yao looked at each other. It would be strange if they could have a good life in the harem. Few women in history were truly happy there.

Since ancient times, it has been the pinnacle stage for intrigue and scheming. You may be a darling yesterday, but when you wake up, you may find yourself dead in a deep well.

Although this was not Guan Ning's business, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when he saw Chen Tu, who cared about his sister, was so worried.

"Whether the harem is good or not is indeed related to the mother's family."

"If Brother Chen can achieve something, no one will dare to bully your elder sister. Even the emperor will give him some face."

Chen Tu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my eldest sister said the same thing."

"Brother Guan, I know you are not an ordinary person. Can you help me and see what I need to do?"
