Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 108 Birthday Gift

Although Chu Lian didn't know why Princess Wei cared for her so much, she knew that Princess Wei was being genuine.

Chu Lian and Royal Princess Duanjia chatted happily together in Songtao Court. When Chu Lian noticed that it was about time, she led Royal Princess Duanjia over to Matriarch He's Qingxi Hall.

The moment they reached Qingxi Hall's entrance, they could hear the pleasant buzz of women chattering away.

Royal Princess Duanjia glanced curiously towards Qingxi Hall before tugging at Chu Lian's sleeve and asking, "It sounds like there are a lot of young ladies inside."

A sly glint shone in Chu Lian's eyes. She covered the mischievous smile on her lips and replied, "Royal Princess, didn't you see my Second Brother today? I'm afraid Grandmother's using this chance to help him look for a bride!"

Ah?

He Changjue was looking for a bride?

For some reason, Royal Princess Duanjia's spirits fell upon hearing this piece of news.

Chu Lian assumed Royal Princess Duanjia didn’t know the context for this, so she continued to explain the current state of the Jing’an Household. "Princess, I'm sure you don't know this, but my Second Brother doesn't come home often. Even Grandmother can't do anything about him. However, as a legitimate son of House Jing'an, he can't stay single forever. So Grandmother is using Mother's birthday banquet as an excuse to invite more noble families over with their eligible daughters."

He Changjue was already twenty four this year. At this age, he could be considered an old bachelor in the capital.

However, considering House Jing'an's good reputation and noble family status, coupled with He Changjue's looks, character, and position in the Dragon Guards, there were still many families looking to marry their daughters to him, even though he was slightly older than the usual age of a bachelor.

Thus, there were quite a few noble madams and ladies in attendance today.

The sweet and charming ladies here were all waiting for the chance to meet He Erlang later on when it was time to wish Countess Jing'an a happy birthday.

Royal Princess Duanjia had actually heard some rumours about the He Family's second son before. However, they had still been complete strangers at that time, so she had just treated them as some funny stories to listen to. Now that Chu Lian was talking about it to her directly, there was a strange feeling in her heart.

Was He Erlang really going to choose a wife?

Chu Lian pulled Royal Princess Duanjia along with her into the courtyard and headed towards the heated room.

Chu Lian had gotten the chance to marry into House Jing'an thanks to that peculiar reputation the ladies of House Ying had. Later on, she had made a name for herself at House Dingyuan. Almost right after that, the Emperor had personally given her the title Honoured Lady Jinyi, and then she had opened a restaurant that seemed to be growing more and more popular each day.

Any one of these events would be enough to fuel the capital's gossip mills for a while. However, they were all centered around the same person and had happened one after another. The group of noble madams and ladies gathered around Matriarch He were eagerly waiting to meet the Honoured Lady Jinyi, who had somehow gone from a nobody to the talk of the town right after marrying into House Jing’an.
