All five of them wanted more. The last piece was deliberately given to Prince Wei because he was present.

After all, they were in the prince's residence. The young prince coughed twice and the maidservant beside him hurriedly bent down to ask in a low voice.

Lu Tai lowered his voice and said, "How can you be so blind? Can't you see that all the dishes on the table are empty?"

When he said this, the maidservant's face turned bitter and she explained in a low voice, "Your Highness, we only made two in total. They're all here …"

What!

She specially made food, but she made so little. It wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

Lu Tai really wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet. He would definitely teach his younger sister a lesson later.

Since the kitchen was empty, Lu Tai could only wave his hand at the maidservant to dismiss her.

His eyes unconsciously drifted to his mother's table. When he saw it, he was so jealous that he wanted to bite his little handkerchief.

The three women ate until their mouths were full of grease and there was still half of the food left on the two plates.

If it wasn't for the fact that his lord father was still here, he would definitely have gone to his lady mother's table to eat roast duck.

Princess Wei usually didn't eat greasy dishes, but the roast duck made by Chu Lian was fat but not greasy. It was crispy and tender. Even she couldn't help but eat a bit and was full of praise for Chu Lian's roast duck.

When there was no more food, the men at the other table regained their poise.

Prince Wei picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a small sip. He first said, "I like the roast duck made by Jinyi. In the future, I will visit the prince's residence often."

After hearing this, Chu Lian quickly stood up and bowed slightly, agreeing.

Prince Wei continued, this time facing Xiao Bojian and He Changjue.

"I heard that the two of you are talking about marriage. Do you have a suitable family?

Although I don't care about court politics, I still have some say in the capital. "

Xiao Bojian paused. He clearly didn't expect Prince Wei to ask such a question. He didn't immediately answer Prince Wei. Instead, he glanced at Chu Lian from the corner of his eyes. There was still a gloomy expression on his face. It was as if a big event like marriage couldn't make him happy.

He secretly clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his emotions. He respectfully replied Wei Wang, "Your Highness, I am talking about marriage. I no longer have any blood relatives in this world, so this matter has always been handled by my master. It's just that there is no progress yet."

Xiao Bojian was obviously lying through his teeth. The old British Duke had mentioned to him many times that he wanted to marry his granddaughter to him, but he had never relented.

Wei Wang only said, "Since the Old Duke is in charge, there is no need for me to worry."

When he finished speaking, he looked at He Changjue. His meaning was clear.

He Erlang's ears suddenly reddened. "Reporting to Wangye, although my grandmother has not chosen a good family for this junior, this junior's heart already belongs to someone."

Oh?

Wei Wang did not expect He Changjue to give him such an answer. His eyebrows twitched. A metal tree in Shengjing had actually blossomed?

"In that case, I wish you a smooth marriage. If you have any difficulties, come find me. I will help you."

Wei Wang rarely interfered with the affairs of the aristocratic families in Shengjing. Unexpectedly, he was willing to help He Changjue's marriage this time. It was clear that Wei Wang liked this junior very much.

He Changjue was overjoyed after hearing this. He did not care about the situation and immediately stood up to bow. "This junior thanks Your Highness."

Wei Wang waved his hand amicably. He had no idea that his words had sold the apple of his eye.

Chu Lian's eyes widened as she watched from the side. She did not expect that her usually dull second brother would grasp the opportunity so well. If he was really interested in Princess Duanjia and wanted to marry her, the biggest obstacle would naturally be Wei Wang and his wife. With this promise, Wei Wang was settled. Perhaps the two of them would really become a couple.

The smile on Chu Lian's lips deepened. She knew that Princess Duanjia was also interested in He Changjue. Although the current dynasty was more civilized than the previous dynasty and women could go out and visit friends at will, in the path of marriage, most people still followed the ancient teachings that the parents' words were the matchmaker.

If one was born in an aristocratic family with a certain level of power and status, the marriage between children would become a sacrifice for profit.

Therefore, in the upper class aristocratic families, it was rare for a man and a woman to fall in love and tie the knot before marriage.

Now that she saw that He Erlang and Princess Duanjia could become such a couple, Chu Lian was naturally happy for them.

But Princess Duanjia, who had been happily watching He Erlang from time to time, suddenly paled. Her large eyes were suddenly filled with disappointment and sadness. In order to hide her emotions, she quickly lowered her head.

Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia sat on either side of Princess Wei and did not notice the strange change in Princess Duanjia's emotions.

Wei Wang had called a few juniors over for a simple meal. It was really just a meal …

During the meal, other than talking about the recent strange and interesting things in the capital and asking about Xiao Bojian and He Erlang's marriage, they did not say anything else.

Because there were three women sitting at Chu Lian's table, they naturally spoke even less. In addition, Princess Duanjia, the chatterbox, was not in a good mood, so they were almost silent the entire time.

After the meal, Prince Wei sent them back to their manors.

When they left, He Erlang was still rubbing his head with a silly smile on his face, which made Princess Duanjia even angrier.

Chu Lian followed He Changdi to the second door. Beside her, Princess Wei's trusted aide, Lan mama, had already arranged the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Laiyue had already led Fanyun over.

After He Changdi helped his wife onto the carriage, he stood by the side of the carriage with his hands behind his back. He turned to look at the handsome man standing not far behind him. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled. He refused the reins that Laiyue handed over and stepped on the pedal to enter his wife's carriage.

When Xiao Bojian saw this scene, his hands under his cloak tightened. His eyes were filled with malice and jealousy.

Wei Jia saw the look in his master's eyes and did not dare to say another word. He could only remind him in a small voice, "Master, it is getting late. We should also return. The old Duke said that he wants to meet you in the study tonight."

Xiao Bojian stood next to a crabapple tree. The cold spring air was chilly, but the crabapple tree was still bare, not even a little green bud had sprouted. The cold wind lifted his bleak clothes, just like Xiao Bojian's cold and disappointed heart.

He Changdi's blatant flaunting and disdain made him want to tear this man into pieces.

"Go!"

He gave a hoarse order and disappeared into the darkness of the Wei Wang fu in a short while.

The carriage quickly left the Wei Wang fu. Chu Lian had played in the fu for a day, taught Princess Duanjia how to roast duck and teased Princess Wei. Now that she returned to her own carriage, she was indeed tired.

The carriage had been decorated very comfortably by Gui mama. On the outside, it looked no different from the carriages used by aristocratic families. However, there were many mechanisms inside.

The inside of the carriage was covered with a complicated Ross carpet. To keep warm, the walls of the carriage were covered with a flannelette that was a specialty of the Northern Region.

The seats in the carriage were covered with soft and comfortable large pillows. As soon as one sat on them, one couldn't help but relax.

Just as Chu Lian leaned against the large pillow, she felt an invading cold aura coming straight at her.
