Chapter 991 Are you willing to go all out?
Seeing the meaningful look in his wife's eyes, Chu Junting was somewhat expectant. It seemed that... today's event would be quite lively.
"Now that the Prince of Liang has arrived, Wu Yue'er must have come as well."
Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly. She had noticed the change in Liang Wang's appearance when she first saw him. Just by looking at the blackness between his eyebrows, she knew that he was going to have a bad day!
What kind of chosen one?
Without Master Xuanyang by his side, he was completely powerless to fight back.
In the original novel, the Qi family helped the Liang King a lot, but in the end, Qi Qingyi did not become empress, and naturally, the Qi family did not have a good outcome either.
The first sword coming ashore is to kill the person you want first.
In the end, the Qi family was merely used by King Liang. Kings are adept at discarding those who have served their purpose, not to mention the Qi family, who were spoiled and arrogant and were never good people to begin with.
Relying on his merits in helping the King of Liang, he acted recklessly, which quickly aroused public anger, and in the end, his entire family was wiped out.
In truth, their current fate is not much different from their previous one.
The moment Chu Junting heard that Wu Yue'er had arrived, he knew that something was bound to happen today; wherever that woman was, trouble was sure to follow.
Many people noticed the appearance of the Prince of Liang and couldn't help but exchange glances, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.
"Isn't the Prince of Liang currently under house arrest? Why is he attending the banquet?"
"He must have received the Emperor's permission, otherwise he would never have been able to come out."
Everyone still clearly remembers the Emperor's furious outburst that led to the confinement of Prince Liang, not to mention the many troubles that have befallen Princess Liang, and now the Qi family has been removed from the capital.
For so many years, Prince Liang had been relatively unknown, but this year he finally started making more public appearances. However, things turned out worse than if he hadn't shown up at all. One thing after another has happened, and it seems he's about to follow in the footsteps of the Second Prince.
The thought of this possibility filled everyone with unease. Fortunately, they hadn't taken sides among the princes beforehand; otherwise, if they had chosen the wrong side, they would have been doomed!
King Liang noticed the gazes around him, and his face darkened. The officials who had previously tried to curry favor with him were now eager to distance themselves from him after the Qi family's downfall.
In just two short months, leaving the Prince's Mansion felt like stepping into another world; everything had changed.
damn it!
Bu Qingyao walked shyly to Xiao Wang's side, her beautiful face carrying just the right amount of expectation and joy. Her thoughts were clear at a glance, yet she wasn't too frivolous. It was a state that made men feel very comfortable at first glance.
Of course, all of this was on the premise that he had not seen Bu Qingyao's methods before.
His biggest worry now is that the household will be in turmoil. If he marries such a troublemaker, there will be no peace in the household.
In the past, he thought it was fine to be a playboy; a man who isn't a playboy in his youth is wasting his life, especially since he was a prince. But now, seeing that his third son only has Song Ruozhen as his wife after getting married and hasn't taken any concubines, the inner quarters are peaceful, and his wife can help him.
It feels quite pleasant to be rid of all the troublesome jealousy and resentment.
"Miss Bu, are your eyesight poor?"
Seeing Bu Qingyao blinking her eyes, King Xiao spoke up directly.
Bu Qingyao has always been very confident in her charm. Over the years, she has captivated a large number of men. She knows exactly what tricks these men like and knows how to manipulate them.
However, her expression froze the moment she heard what King Xiao said.
What do you mean by "her eyesight is bad"?
I had always heard that Prince Xiao was very chivalrous towards women, but now he's acting like a complete straight man. How could he say something like that?
"If your eyes aren't feeling well, go see a doctor or take a break."
After saying this, Xiao Wang left first. He wanted to stay away from trouble, in case people who didn't know the situation thought he liked Bu Qingyao, that would be troublesome.
With this in mind, he decided to go and talk to his mother first to clarify things, so as to avoid her making unwarranted matchmakers.
Seeing how Xiao Wang avoided her, Bu Qingyao's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, unable to suppress her anger.
This wasn't how Prince Xiao had treated her before; now, he avoids her like the plague!
She's not some monster, it must be because of what happened before!
Seeing that Prince Xiao was avoiding Bu Qingyao like this, Wen Miaozhu knew in her heart that there was no hope for her to become Prince Xiao's consort.
"Qingyao, did Prince Xiao see what happened before and now he has a bad impression of you?"
Bu Qingyao naturally guessed this as well, but being told it outright by Wen Miaozhu made her feel even more humiliated. Most importantly, Prince Xiao was her only chance!
If she can't marry Prince Xiao, she won't have the chance to marry into the royal family, and she'll only be able to marry a scion of a noble family in the future. How can that be acceptable?
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't provoked Meng Qin before, none of this would have happened!"
Wen Miaozhu was somewhat displeased after being reprimanded by Bu Qingyao, but she could only swallow her anger and say:
"I always thought that Meng Qin and you didn't get along. She stole your sweetheart, so she should owe you something no matter what."
Who would have thought that not only did she not feel indebted at all, but she even sought help from the Crown Princess and Princess Yun? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to exclude you and prevent you from having any opportunities.
Bu Qingyao couldn't help but feel anxious, "It's all over now. With Prince Xiao's attitude towards me, I definitely have no chance."
Seeing Xiao Wang walk away in the direction behind him, with many girls' eyes fixed on him, clearly trying to get closer, Wen Miaozhu couldn't help but say:
"Qingyao, if you've really made up your mind, then you'll have to put in a lot more effort."
Sometimes, if you just go all out, everything becomes possible. Ultimately, it all comes down to whether you can muster the courage to fight.
Upon hearing Wen Miaozhu's words, Bu Qingyao was taken aback, her expression first showing confusion, then turning into disbelief.
She had never even considered such a thing. This was more than just risking everything. If it succeeded, then there would be no need to say more. But if it failed, not only would she lose all her future prospects, but she would also lose her reputation.
She didn't have that kind of courage.
Wen Miaozhu could tell from Bu Qingyao's expression that she wasn't going to go all out, and a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes as she said:
"I knew you wouldn't take the plunge. If you had just been a little bolder all these years, you would have succeeded long ago."
Meng Qin had been quietly accomplishing great things without making a fuss. Didn't you ever consider that she had absolutely no relationship with Prince Yang before, so why did he suddenly marry her?
Bu Qingyao was slightly taken aback. After thinking about what he said carefully, she asked in surprise, "You mean Meng Qin, she..."
“Even if such a thing happened, they wouldn’t say it. The royal family would never have such a scandal,” Moon Myo-joo said.
