Chapter 238 Good people are bullied
Changluo City is divided into two cities, north and south!
The South City is inhabited by common people, nobles and officials!
And those who live in the North City, close to the Palace and the Imperial City, are the real power core figures of this empire.
In this different world, the palace refers to two areas.
The Imperial City is where the emperor and the various government offices handle government affairs. On both sides of the city live important officials of the court, relatives of the emperor, and noble families! The residence of Fufeng Earl Liu Jingang is in this area.
The palace is where the emperor, his concubines and his underage children live, and on both sides of it live the emperor’s adult children and brothers and uncles!
On the east side of the palace, Prince Ping’s palace!
The gardens within the palace are now filled with lanterns and crowded with visitors!
Young men and women in their best clothes gathered and dispersed in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, what a pleasant scene!
There are numerous exquisite cottages and pavilions scattered in every corner of the garden, providing a place for visitors to rest.
This garden is really too big. It is only half smaller than the Imperial Garden in the palace!
In one of the three-story buildings, two men and one woman were laughing and drinking at night!
Although the three of them were all smiling, they were not exactly the same. One of them was smiling with satisfaction, while the other two were smiling with flattery!
"How is it! Have you made all the arrangements? If you can satisfy me, I will not forget your kindness!"
"My young prince! I have already arranged everything! Just wait and enjoy the pleasure of love!"
"Yes! Little Prince! That little bitch would never have thought that I would put Yin Yang Hehe Powder in her food! Who told her to be so honest and kind? She never thought that I was going to scheme against her! After a while, when the Yin medicine in the Hehe Powder takes effect, I will take her to the riverside building and coax her into taking the other half of the Yang medicine! By then, it won't be long before she begs you, Little Prince, to favor her!"
"Oh! That's great! Hahahaha! Originally, I wanted to give her the title of concubine, but she and her father didn't want to! How shameless! In that case! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Your Highness is right! That little bitch thought she had made some small achievements in martial arts, and she really thought she had turned from a wild chicken into a phoenix! His pedantic father is even more inflexible and stubborn! It's time for my He family to change its head!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The position of the Patriarch! It should be held by the capable! Once we have your support, my father will be absolutely certain to become the new Patriarch of the He Family! By then, our He Family will follow the lead of the Prince Ping's Mansion!"
"Hahaha! Well said! You all really are people who know how to act. Then hurry up and do it! Remember not to keep me waiting too long!"
"Yes! My Lord!"
He Qingqing walked aimlessly with the other girls in the garden! She followed them wherever they went. She just agreed with them whatever they talked about. She was completely absent-minded.
"I say, Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you today? Are you not feeling well?" Her abnormality quickly attracted the attention of her companions!
"That's right! Ever since I saw you today, I noticed that you didn't look very well! Are you really sick?"
"Sick? I think! She is not sick physically, but mentally! She is suffering from lovesickness! I heard that! Ever since she returned home, the He family has arranged blind dates for her! I'm afraid she has someone in her heart! Hehehehe!"
He Qingqing just smiled helplessly, "Third brother! You said it as if your Qi family didn't let you go to those places! I may have caught a cold and feel a little uncomfortable! You guys have your own fun, don't worry about me! Just find a place to rest and rest for a while!"
"What if I go? It's a waste of time! Those so-called young talents! How many of them are worth my attention? Anyway, as long as I don't like them, it's useless no matter how much my family urges me! I don't want to marry myself off casually! Alas! They say that Changluo City is a place where talented people gather! But after walking around for a long time, I haven't seen many people with real abilities! It seems! We have been deceived by the boss again! Don't you think so?"
"Who is saying bad things about me behind my back? It's you, Qi Ruoyan, the Third Brother, right? Check your conscience and tell the truth! Is there any place in the world where there are more handsome men than here? Isn't it big enough for me and my brothers and cousins? There are people we can't invite! You can take your time to choose!"
Before Qi Ruoyan finished speaking, Gu Qingya, who came with several princes and young princes, said with a smile.
"Big Sister! You just bully me! We, the Five Illusion Moon Fairies, are like sisters. You can't be partial to one and ignore the other! You can only bully me!"
"Okay, okay! You're the only one who talks too much! Look! My brothers and sisters heard that you were coming! They begged me to introduce you to each other! Introduce you! Later, you can get your friends over to meet and chat! Maybe we can really get a few couples together tonight!"
Gu Qingya continued to smile, and then began to introduce the two parties to each other.
This kind of blind date meeting, called the Lantern Festival, is actually conducted in the form of friends introducing friends. After a brief introduction by a middleman, a group of men and a group of women usually chat for a few minutes. If there are people who get along well, they will leave the crowd and find a corner to get to know each other better. But generally, the two people will not chat alone for more than a quarter of an hour before returning to the crowd again.
After a blind date meeting, a person will often chat with other people individually several times. If the man has a favorite candidate, he will naturally invite someone to the woman's home after the meeting to informally ask her about her willingness! The woman will also express her attitude to her family based on her initial understanding of the man, and his parents will make a formal response.
Although in most cases the final decision still has to be made by the parents, it is at least much more humane than the ancient Zhuxia in another time and space where people didn't even know what their partner looked like before getting married.
Several princes were accompanied by more than a dozen young men, while Qi Ruoyan, He Qingqing and other four Fairies of the Moon Magic were accompanied by more than a dozen women! After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, they started the group chat mode. Soon, some people started chatting alone in pairs.
After He Qingqing rejected several people's invitations for private chats, he retreated to the edge of the crowd and leaned against a tree, his expression becoming even uglier.
At this time, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came hurriedly. After looking around, she found He Qingqing and said worriedly, "Sister! What's wrong? You feel even worse! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let you eat with me and made you suffer with me! I was also feeling very uncomfortable just now. I had to ask the people in the palace for some hot soup and lay down in a small room for a while before I felt better! Why don't you go and drink some hot soup and rest for a while! When you feel better, we'll go back! As for the lanterns! Let's not watch them!"
