Chapter 479: No Two Sugarcanes Are Sweeter

Chapter 479: No Two Sugarcanes Are Sweeter

Princess Rui looked at herself threatening to commit suicide but to no avail, and a feeling of despair welled up in her heart.

At this time, King Rui quickly pulled her back, with an embarrassed look on his face, and whispered: "Okay, don't do this, so many people are watching!"

Seeing this, the servants around lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at this family farce that was about to get out of control. The air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Song Ming also watched all this with a worried look on his face.

He was really afraid that Shen Xia would give up on them brothers for Gu Zizhan.

After all, everyone knew how much she liked Gu Zizhan back then.

But Song Yun and Song Jin were not worried.

We have been together for so many years, and it's not like we don't have feelings for each other.

Princess Rui looked at Shen Xia and said, "Princess Anping, you have had several husbands. Shouldn't a woman be faithful to one man?"

Shen Xia raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Women are never faithful to one man, what does it have to do with me?"

Princess Rui asked, "Are you still treating everyone equally?"

"That's not impossible."

Princess Rui was almost pissed off by Shen Xia.

Gu Yichen looked at the farce in front of him.

I don't know when, Concubine Yi had stood up and walked ahead.

Xiyue also watched this farce.

She frequently winked at her mother. Of course, she hoped that Princess Anping could be with Gu Zizhan.

Then Song Yun would marry someone else, and that would not be a great opportunity.

Concubine Yi watched the farce and said, "Okay, I won't waste your time on family matters. His Majesty is also inside, let's go in and talk."

Prince Rui went in with Princess Rui.

The princess looked at everyone in the courtyard and said, "Okay, sorry for interrupting everyone's meal. Let's eat first!"

Then he turned and entered the main hall.

When Steward Ming saw that His Majesty had arrived, he set up the banquet in the main hall.

King Rui and Princess Rui.

Song Jin, Song Yun and Song Ming all followed Shen Xia in, and Gu Zizhan also came in.

Gu Yichen looked at Gu Zizhan and everyone else: "Everyone, please sit down!"

The princess said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat. We can open another table next to you."

Gu Yichen looked at everyone and said, "We are not in the palace, so there is no need to be so reserved."

The princess hesitated for a moment and looked at Butler Ming: "Set the table."

"Yes, Your Highness."

There was just one table full of people.

"What is the relationship between Lord Song and Mr. Song?" Gu Yichen looked at Song Ming curiously.

Song Ming cupped his hands and said, "I am Song Yun's second brother."

Gu Yichen smiled and said, "Your Song family is really full of talented people!"

Song Ming said modestly: "Fortunately, Xia Xia can teach me."

Gu Yichen heard the word Xia Xia, which was Gu Yuan's previous name.

I couldn't help but look at Shen Xia again.

Gu Yichen said: "Well. Let's eat first, and we can talk later if there is anything else."

The princess nodded: "Okay."

Everyone had their meal together, but no one was used to eating with the emperor.

Shen Xia's clothes are so inconvenient.

So Song Jin and Gu Zizhan took care of her throughout the whole process.

Because on Shen Xia's left is Song Jin and on her right is Gu Zizhan.

Princess Xiyue has been looking at Song Yun.

But Song Yun never looked up at her.

Shen Xia was already hungry.

So I don't care about others.

Moreover, Steward Zhao and Concubine Yi beside His Majesty will take good care of Gu Yichen.

Everyone at the table had something on their mind and their appetite was not very good.

Finally the meal was over and everyone was drinking tea in the main hall.

Everything outside was arranged by Butler Ming.

After everyone finished their meal, many people did not leave and watched the performance in front of the yard.

Gu Yichen took a sip of tea and looked at Gu Zizhan: "Zizhan knows that Anping is married, right?"

Gu Zizhan nodded: "Well, yes."

"Then you still want to marry Anping."

"Yes."

Gu Yichen looked at Shen Xia: "Is Anping willing to give up the Song family for Zizhan?"

Your Majesty, this is the way you ask.

The three Song brothers standing next to them were all trembling in their hearts.

Shen Xia glanced at Song Yun and the others beside her and shook her head, "I have given birth to three children in the past few years. It is impossible for me to be separated from them."

Gu Yichen frowned: "What are your plans then?"

Shen Xia glanced at Gu Zizhan and said, "Zizhan and I were in love back then, and it was Princess Rui who came to Wuyang County to break us up. So now Zizhan must have me, not me who must snatch the child from Princess Rui."

Princess Xiyue, who was standing next to her, heard this and said, "Princess Anping wants all of them."

Shen Xia glanced at Xiyue: "Why not?"

Xiyue smiled and said, "Princess Anping, are you disregarding etiquette and shame?"

After hearing this, Song Yun and the others, as well as Gu Zizhan and the eldest princess beside them, all looked unhappy.

Concubine Yi next to her glanced at the eldest princess who looked unhappy.

He quickly said, "Xiyue, children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Xiyue retorted: "That's right. Aren't women supposed to be faithful to one man? Princess Anping, what do you think?"

Shen Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Xiyue. She was not very old, probably about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Just now when we were eating, I saw her looking at Song Yun from time to time.

He should like Song Yun.

The princess likes the talented man, this is a true plot in the storybook.

Shen Xia did not answer her question, but asked in return: "Princess, do you think women are inferior to men?"

Xiyue immediately retorted after hearing this: "How can women be inferior to men?"

"That's right! Since women are not inferior to men, why can men have three wives and four concubines, but women cannot have three husbands and four mistresses?"

Xiyue choked and said after a while: "Is this different?"

"Why is it different?"

"If you do this, what if they don't like you anymore in the future?"

"Does it matter?"

Xiyue was puzzled: "How can this not be important?"

Shen Xia looked at Song Yun and the others with a smile on her face: "If he truly loves me, I will treat him with my heart. If he finds a new love in the future, I will let him go. When I get it, I cherish it. When I lose it, I will face it calmly. Not many things in the world have a happy ending. I believe that the process is more important than the result."

Then he looked at Xiyue and said, "The one who gets my attention must be very outstanding, so it is inevitable that some people want to poach her. I won't stop them. If they really want to, I can't stop them. It's your ability to poach her."

Xiyue looked at Shen Xia with embarrassment on her face and said angrily, "Who wants to steal your girl?"

"I didn't say anything about you, why are you so anxious to refute? Who doesn't like excellent people? It's normal!" Shen Xia said with a smile.

Xiyue: “You——”

I couldn't speak for a long time.

Yes!

She was right. Why could men have three wives and four concubines, but women could not have three husbands and four mistresses?

Xiyue continued: "Then what do you think is a good relationship?"

"Sugarcane is not sweet at both ends. Each has its own merits. You should ask yourself what kind of relationship you want instead of looking at others." Shen Xia answered sincerely.

"Oh."

Then she glanced at Song Yun. She had always thought that Song Yun might have chosen Princess Anping because of her status.

But now, she discovered that it seemed that in his eyes, there was only Princess Anping from beginning to end, and no one else could catch his eye.

She is a princess, there is no need for her to chase after someone who doesn't love her.
