Chapter 430: Family Banquet Humiliation
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan wanted to laugh, but she held back, deliberately asking, "So the Princess Consort’s intention is for her niece to enter the Eastern Palace as a minor concubine?"
The nanny choked abruptly, mouth opening and closing, unsure of how to reply when Leng Yu Yan continued, "The Crown Prince has become blind and frail, and previously no one was willing to marry him. But ever since the issue with the Abolished Crown Prince came to light, and the Crown Prince reclaimed his position as Crown Prince, many noble daughters have been clamoring to marry him."
"As the betrothed of His Highness, I’ve heard that many women want to marry him, and for some reason, I find it quite pleasing."
"This shows that my future husband is truly outstanding, making many women eagerly offer their hearts. Like Lady Zheng of Prime Minister Zheng’s Mansion, who begged His Highness more than once."
"And now the niece of the Princess Consort also wants to marry..." Leng Yu Yan paused, then added with a smile, "I cannot decide on this matter, please ask the nanny to return and speak well to the Princess Consort, and let her ask the Crown Prince herself."
The nanny thought, could the Commandery Princess possibly be unaware of Miss Sisi’s past with the Crown Prince?
"Princess, it’s not the situation you think."
Leng Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What situation is it then?"
The nanny, not expecting the young Leng Yu Yan before her to be so imposing, said with a slight panic, "The niece from the Princess Consort’s maternal family is named Hu Sisi. She died a few years ago from eating a pastry gifted by His Highness."
Leng Yu Yan impatiently pinched her own fingers. Was she really supposed to be scared off by a dead person?
Miao Zhu stepped forward, "Just speak plainly, nanny. My lady has many things to do today."
