Chapter 342: Handsome Man? She suspected she was in the wrong place
"Nianran, don't be nervous, just stay by your mother's side." Chen Shuhua took her hand and patted it, signaling her not to be afraid. Shen Youran, who was standing by, saw the deep love between mother and daughter and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. Once upon a time, all this love belonged to her, but everything changed since that bitch came back.
However, thinking that if she offended the eldest princess today, the consequences would not be as simple as a reprimand, her mood quickly calmed down and she agreed, "Yes, sister, don't worry, I'm here!"
After that, the group walked towards the Princess's Mansion. The main gate of the Princess's Mansion was red and solemn, with exquisitely carved door beams and simple copper door knockers. The stone lions on both sides were majestic, guarding the peace in the mansion. The wide stone steps extended, showing the royal style.
After they walked over, a maid came up to greet them immediately. It was Aunt Mei who served the eldest princess. She greeted the two of them first: "Lord Shen, Madam Shen, I have been waiting for you here on the orders of the eldest princess since early morning. Please come in." The maid smiled amiably and stepped aside to invite her into the house.
"There's Aunt Laumei."
"This is Miss Shen, right? She is indeed dignified and beautiful, with a graceful demeanor."
"Aunt Mei, you're too kind."
"The eldest princess wants to see you. Let me take you and the eldest lady to her place first."
Aunt Mei was talking about inviting Chen Shuhua and that bitch, but didn't mention her. Shen Youran was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Chen Shuhua and her husband exchanged a few words with Aunt Mei and went back to the mansion. Shen Wenting went to find his colleagues first, while Shen Youran went to the banquet hall to find her sisters. They separated at the gate, and Aunt Mei took the mother and daughter to meet the eldest princess.
Walking into the princess's mansion, they saw a deep courtyard with lush flowers and trees. Pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly manner, and the corridors were winding. Every building showed the royal style and refinement. They followed the footsteps of the maid, passed through the archways, and came to the gate of the princess's courtyard.
"Madam Shen, please wait here." The maid went in to report and came out after a while: "Madam Shen, please."
After thanking the nanny, Chen Shuhua led them inside. When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Princess Yue'an sitting quietly on a stool, holding a book. Her expression was serene and indifferent. Beside her stood four or five handsome men, all of whom were handsome. Some massaged her shoulders and back, and some served her tea and water. Yao Qingnian even suspected that she had come to the wrong place, but the nanny beside the princess brought them here personally, so how could it be fake?
The sun shone on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of golden light. As she got closer, she saw a scar, which looked out of place on her smooth and fair face. Seeing someone coming, the eldest princess put down the book in her hand and smiled at them. That smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts.
"Greetings to Princess Yue'an." Chen Shuhua saluted to the princess. Yao Qingnian came to his senses and followed suit.
"Shuhua, you're here. There's no outsider here. Don't be so polite. Get up quickly!" The eldest princess personally helped her up.
"Thank you, Princess." Although the princess said this, Chen Shuhua was still very well-behaved and there was nothing wrong with her. Aunt Mei beside her nodded with satisfaction. She was worthy of being a girl from the Duke's Mansion. Her manners were dignified, elegant and generous.
Princess Yue'an noticed the girl behind her: "You should get up too, Shuhua. Is this your daughter who just came back?"
"Princess, this is my daughter Nianran. She was sent to another place for some reasons and just came back a few days ago." Chen Shuhua asked her to come forward: "Nianran, meet the princess."
"Good luck, Princess." It was the first time that Yao Qingnian had formal contact with the royal family since she traveled through time. She bowed again, imitating Chen Shuhua's example.
"Look up and let me see."
Yao Qingnian slowly raised his head, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, neither humble nor arrogant.
"It's exactly the same as your mother's when she was young. Here, this is the gift I give you." The eldest princess asked the nanny to take out a glittering golden hairpin and handed it to her. It was made of gold, but it didn't look rustic. Instead, it looked playful and cute. It was obviously the style of a little girl.
"Thank you, Princess." Yao Qingnian accepted the things and thanked her.
"It must be tiring to keep thanking me. Well, just accept the things. You don't have to carry them like your mother did. Come, everyone, come and sit down!" The eldest princess waved her hand and asked the attendants around her to find seats for them.
"Shuhua, I heard a few days ago that Shen Wenting favored the maids and was fooling around. Is that true? In my opinion, a man like him is not worthy of you. He is just a good-looking man. I have many such men here. Any one of them is no better than him.
If you want to divorce, just tell me. This princess will definitely help you. Look at me. Although I am married, my husband never interferes with me. There are so many good-looking men. How about I call a few out for you to choose from?!" The eldest princess joked.
"..."Why is this eldest princess so casual? It's so different from what she imagined. But she has an easy-going personality.
"Princess, please don't make fun of me." Chen Shuhua felt a little embarrassed by her teasing and her face turned red.
"Haha, okay, this princess is just teasing you! But life is short, enjoy it while you can, and don't put yourself in a difficult position. You are my sister who grew up with me, and I know your temper best. Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Come here today and chat with me." Princess Yue'an took Chen Shuhua to sit in the yard, and the two of them talked and laughed.
"Look, this little girl has such good skin. No matter how well we older people take care of ourselves, we can't compare to those young people!" The eldest princess didn't care about the scars on her face at all, and said calmly to Yao Qingnian.
"Princess, your skin is not bad at all. Ordinary girls can't compare to you."
"Oh, girl, your mouth is so sweet, you must have eaten honey just now." The eldest princess covered her mouth and laughed secretly, how could she not know what was going on.
"You must think that I say this just to cheer you up, but I'm not saying nice things to fool you. If you don't believe me, let me try. I guarantee you'll look ten years younger." A noble lady like the eldest princess, who has never been involved in menial work, uses the best skin care products and beauty elixirs. There is no sign of aging on her face, and her skin is really good. Moreover, the eldest princess is the kind of woman who is pleasing to the eye, with distinct facial features and big eyes.
"Oh? Are you serious?" The princess initially thought that this girl was a sensible and opinionated person, but she didn't expect that she would be so pushy. Shen Youran was like this before, which was why the princess disliked her.
