Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 386 Where does happiness come from

Zhao Manqing smiled. "General Dongli's heroic spirit of fighting on the battlefield and guarding the frontier for his entire life has won the admiration of countless people. I, Manqing, am not talented, but I hope to follow General Dongli's example. I don't seek to fight on the battlefield or defend my country, but I just hope to have a good life of my own."

Du Mengyao sneered, "Only Miss Zhao would have such unrealistic ambitions, right? In my opinion, you'd better find someone to marry early and take care of your husband and children. After all, your Zhao Mansion is no longer the same as before."

"So what? Even if our Zhao family is not as prosperous as before, we can still live openly and honestly without relying on anyone. I, Zhao Manqing, even more disdain to become the kind of woman who sacrifices her life to cling to the rich and powerful."

Kang Minmin said, "Sister, you are too kind. Mengyao means well. She doesn't want you to suffer too much in the future. It's better to find a good man and live in harmony with him, just like the Second Prince's wife and the Second Prince, who are so loving and enviable."

Ye Xun smiled slightly but said nothing.

Du Mengyao's eyes turned and she continued, "The story between the princess and His Highness is indeed a good one, but you don't have to be envious. With your talent and beauty, there are many good men who admire you."

Kang Minmin's eyes moved, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face. "I don't ask for others' admiration, I just want to marry the person I love."

Hearing this, everyone's ears pricked up. Everyone knew that Kang Minmin liked Gu Qinglan, but Gu Qinglan's sweetheart was right at the table.

Xue Huang had a calm expression as she savored the food in front of her, her every move and gesture full of elegance.

Du Mengyao continued: "Minmin, there is no need to be modest. You are both talented and beautiful, and you are so infatuated. What reason does Master Gu have to reject you?"

Zhao Manqing glanced at Xuehuang's face, then looked at Zhao Manqing with a bad face, "Miss Du, my grandfather's mourning period has not yet passed, it is inappropriate for you to talk about marriage at the banquet."

"Then let's talk about something happy," Du Mengyao became more and more proud, "I heard that the Hanxi Palace is about to give birth to an heir. I would like to congratulate Princess Changle first."

Zhao Manqing looked at Xuehuang in surprise, "Princess, are you pregnant?"

To be honest, Xue Huang was a little confused. With Du Mengyao and Kang Minmin singing the same tune here, it would be strange if she wasn't angry.

But she soon figured it out that the offspring Du Mengyao was referring to should be Cui Jinyu.

Cui Jinyu was pregnant, which surprised her a little.

But what does it have to do with her?

Du Mengyao looked even more surprised, "Don't you know yet? It's Concubine Cui from the Hanxi Palace! She's been pregnant for more than a month."

The women present frowned unconsciously, and looked at Du Mengyao with complicated eyes.

Because she is simply too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Xue Huang put down her wine glass, and her clear eyes fell on Du Mengyao and Kang Minmin, instantly making people feel a chill all over their bodies.

It was because her eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and seemed to contain unfathomable murderous intent.

Xue Huang was unwilling to pay attention to people like Du Mengyao who was stupid and Kang Minmin who was deep-minded.

But since it was linked to her, Wei Xuehuang was not someone who would swallow her anger.

She just said lightly, "I just happen to have a happy event to congratulate Miss Du. I heard that Miss Du and General Shen's son are already engaged. I wish Miss Du a happy marriage, and love and affection with General Shen for the rest of their lives."
