Zhong Wanyue sneered disdainfully: "This is the first time I've heard of someone who dares to make a list when asking for something. He's really asking for more."

Zhong Wanyue obviously looked down on Shen Ning. It was not because of any grudge or targeting her, she just looked down on her.

Shen Ning looked at her for a few times. Although she could always turn her enemies into customers, it also depended on her mood.

For example, she didn't want to earn a penny from Lu Shuying and Li Kun, mainly because she felt annoyed.

It’s not that she can’t win the heart of Zhong Wanyue, and so far she hasn’t done anything that is unacceptable to her, but she likes Li Kun.

It's already very strange that someone still likes Li Kun even though they know about his relationship with Lu Shuying. The most important thing is that she will become the Crown Prince's Consort in the future, uh...

Never mind. She doesn't need such a client.

As soon as she saw that the little flatterer fell silent, Princess Changle knew that she didn't like Zhong Wanyue. This was strange. Before, those noble ladies had been so blatantly trying to bully her, but she could still join in with a smile and then turn those people into her clients. Why couldn't Zhong Wanyue do that?

At the end, she also secretly revealed to Shen Ning: "My grandparents are not short of money, don't you have anything you can sell to her family?"

Shen Ning laughed: "You also know that's your tenant's house?"

If someone doesn't know, they would think you are Shen Ning's spy.

Princess Changle chuckled and said, "I have accepted your favor, so naturally I have to be a little more favorable to you. Besides, they are paying for things, not giving money away for free."

Shen Ning smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Princess Changle looked at her deeply, and seeing that she really didn't want to talk about this topic, she let it go.

The three of them couldn't just sit there together, so Princess Changle took Shen Ning to see her residence. Zhong Wanyue didn't want to go, so she went back to rest.

When they got to the empty attic, Princess Changle finally relaxed and fell onto a chair. "I haven't been out for almost a month. I'm dying of suffocation."

Shen Ning laughed. Indeed, Princess Changle liked to go out riding and shooting arrows, and to play with people everywhere. It was really hard for her to stay at home for a month.

"Don't relax too early. There is still a tough battle tomorrow. The wedding is the most tiring."

Princess Changle sighed, "Forget it, just this once, I just have to get through it."

Shen Ning sat next to her.

Princess Changle tilted her head and looked at her: "What about you, when are you going to get married?"

Shen Ning opened her eyes blankly: "Ah, who are you going to marry?"

Princess Changle stood up and said, "My mother has a booklet that contains detailed information about the young talents of the right age in the capital. It contains their appearance, family background, temperament, and the number of people in the backyard. It is updated at any time. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

Shen Ning was shocked: "Why is the princess doing this? Are you a full-time matchmaker?"

Princess Changle waved her hand and said, "It's just basic information needs. Ladies of their age sit together and talk about the marriages of their juniors, which families haven't gotten married yet, and which daughters can get married. My mother does that so that she won't be clueless when she's chatting, and she can also check for families with character problems."

Shen Ning understood that he didn't have to use it, but he had to know that appearing to be out of place was one thing, but the main thing was being fooled by others and saying the wrong things or praising the wrong people, which would be a loss of face.

Shen Ning didn't want to respond after hearing the gossip, but Princess Changle didn't let her go and just looked at her. Helplessly, she could only shake her head: "I don't want to get married now."

Princess Changle thought about her debts. Although some people might mind, it was not a big problem. Someone could afford the bride price of ten thousand taels of gold, and she herself was able to make money. With the Princess of Qi as a guarantor and her support as a princess and the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would not marry badly.

Shen Ning knew what she was thinking: "It's not about money. I personally don't care about marriage, and I don't want to live with a man. If you must get married, then wait until it's absolutely necessary..."

Anyway, just avoid it if you can, and hide for a while.

Princess Changle thought about her previous marriage and felt so scared after being bitten that she was completely disappointed with marriage.

It was all because of her fiancé and sister. The good girl was traumatized by their anger.

In the evening, a banquet was held in Prince Qi's mansion. Today's banquet was for everyone in the mansion, from top to bottom, including the host family and some close relatives who came to help. The maids in the mansion could also have a reward meal today, after all, they would be busy all day tomorrow.

The bride was not allowed to go out, so the food was delivered to the house. Shen Ning and Zhong Wanyue naturally stayed here to eat with Changle.

Zhong Wanyue didn't hide the fact that she looked down on Shen Ning at all, but she was also very well-mannered. She said, "I look down on you, but I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

During the meal, he only spoke to Princess Changle and didn't even glance at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning was also able to sit still, eating quietly and listening to the two people chatting casually, like an invisible person.

Shen Ning was about 70% full and was about to put down his bowl and chopsticks when someone outside shouted that the prince had arrived.

Shen Ning raised his eyes to look at Princess Changle, then glanced to the left, and saw that the man who had just looked listless and had lost his appetite suddenly sat up straight. His eyes, which were always filled with impatience and arrogance, suddenly brightened surprisingly, with a light full of expectation, and instantly became full of vitality.

Then she nervously adjusted her collar, with visibly shy face.

Li Kun came in quickly, his voice quite cheerful: "Changle, have you had your meal? His Majesty has given me the imperial meal, and my father asked me to bring it to you."

As soon as Li Kun appeared, Zhong Wanyue stood up. When the person came closer, she nervously grabbed her handkerchief and her face was excited, showing her shyness and helplessness when she saw her lover.

"Cousin...cousin..." He stuttered.

Li Kun glanced at her and greeted her perfunctorily: "Ah, Wanyue, you are here too."

Then he glanced at Shen Ning, his face slightly gloomy, and passed by.

Princess Changle stood up to receive the gift from the emperor. Li Kun took the box and opened it. Inside were five dumplings of different colors.

Zhong Wanyue said in surprise: "It's Wufu meatballs."

Five colors and five kinds of fillings symbolize the five blessings and harmony. It is obvious that it was specially given to Princess Changle.

Although it was Li Kun who brought him in, there was a man with a feminine face and holding a dustpan standing at the door, who must be a eunuch in the palace.

Princess Changle bowed to the door and said, "Changle thanks your majesty for the reward."

Li Kun handed her the Wufu meatballs: "Okay, eat this quickly."

This had to be eaten in public, so Princess Changle picked up the bowl and ate all five meatballs very seriously, even drinking the soup.

Li Kun then had the bowls collected, and waved his hand: "Okay, I'm going back."

After walking two steps outside, he turned back and said earnestly, "Changle, you will be an adult after you get married. It is better to be a little wary of others. Don't be fooled by those with ulterior motives."

Shen Ning:...These words are hitting her in the face.

Princess Changle's face turned cold instantly: "I also say this to my brother. You can't judge a person by his appearance, so don't let others sell you out and help them count their money."

Li Kun didn't expect that he could fight back, and his face turned green with anger: "You really are... I am doing this for your own good, don't you understand what is good and what is bad?"

Princess Changle retorted: "Can your parents harm you?"

Li Kun was so angry: "How can this be the same?"

Princess Changle: "Of course it's different. Aning didn't plan to marry me, didn't force my parents to have my child, and didn't covet my wealth. Naturally, she can't compare."

Li Kun was so angry that he fell backwards, and Shen Ning couldn't help but cover his face, "My Lord Princess, although I know you just want to confront your brother, you can't say anything!!!"
