Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Yuan Shanjian is truly blessed. He waited until he was almost thirty to get married, but unexpectedly, he encountered such great fortune.

Poor third brother, he's already an old man. The most beautiful woman in the world has already married Yuan Shen. What noble lady can he possibly choose as the crown princess?

I don't think I'll ever see your third brother get married in my lifetime!

No sooner had these words been spoken than Crown Prince Wen Ziduan entered to pay his respects to his mother.

"Mother is becoming more and more concerned with these superficial things. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will eventually become nothing more than a skeleton in the face of adornment."

Empress Yue scoffed.

"Hmph! You've never seen a real beauty."

Wen Ziduan didn't take it to heart. He only found most beauties in the world to be noisy and stupid.

After leaving Empress Yue's palace, Wen Ziduan, accompanied by his attendants, took a detour to the garden.

Coincidentally, Tang Yu was collecting plant data from the palace in the garden.

After all, there are many rare and exotic plants in the palace. Absorbing some energy and collecting data is just a routine task.

She rarely goes out, so whenever she has the chance to go out, Tang Yu always tries to do some work and study the surrounding plants and trees.

Who's lingering here?

Judging from her attire, she didn't look like an ordinary palace maid, so Wen Ziduan asked her directly in a cold voice.

Tang Yu felt a little embarrassed, as she actually had palace maids with her.

The palace maid just said she had a stomachache and needed to relieve herself, so Tang Yu stayed here longer.

Being suddenly questioned in such a cold tone clearly indicates that the other party is of high status.

Tang Yu slowly turned around and bowed.

"I, Yuan, the wife of the clan, came to take a look because I was curious about the plum blossoms in the garden."

The woman's figure was graceful; as she slowly turned to bow, her slender waist was so delicate it could be encircled by a single hand.

Even when wearing a heavy winter coat, her curves are still on full display, exuding an indescribable allure.

Wen Ziduan did not want to view Yuan Shen's wife with a man's eyes.

But for some reason, even though she was already a married woman, she still had the innocence and charm of a young girl, looking so delicate, pitiful and adorable.

This emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and Wen Ziduan's face instantly darkened.

"In that case, Madam Yuan, what are you still doing here? Why don't you leave immediately?"

Chapter 24: Starry Sky 24

Tang Yu was in a bad mood after being suddenly reprimanded, even though she hadn't done anything impolite.

Just then, a palace maid returned, and after being reminded by someone nearby, she realized that the man was the Crown Prince.

Tang Yu quickly bowed and turned to leave.

Before long, the palace banquet had begun.

Tang Yu sat in his seat, and Yuan Shen returned at that moment.

The couple sat together, their heads close together, talking intimately.

"Has no one made things difficult for you, Madam?"

Tang Yu recounted her visit to Empress Yue, and how the entire process went smoothly, with the Empress seeming to like her quite a bit.

But after what happened to her in the garden, Tang Yu spoke up indignantly.

"My lord, the Crown Prince is indeed as the rumors say: impartial, cold-hearted, and incorruptible."

Fortunately, the Crown Prince didn't marry a Crown Princess. Anyone who did would probably be driven mad with anger every day and would have to endure it all, since he's the Crown Prince.

If you married a husband like that in modern times, you'd probably get breast hyperplasia every day, and then breast cancer. It's such a tragedy.

It was rare to see his young wife with such a vivid expression, and as a staunch loyalist of the Crown Prince, Yuan Shen couldn't help but smile with ill intent.

“If it were purely for power, some people would be willing to marry the crown prince.”

However, if the noble ladies in Kyoto wanted to marry a good husband, they weren't so desperate.

Therefore, the concubines in the Crown Prince's harem were mainly women of low status.

I remember someone gossiping before, saying that the Crown Prince had more than ten women in his harem, so does that mean he loves beauty or not?

Are we just used as tools to have children?

"The women in the Crown Prince's harem must have a pretty miserable life. They're constantly being scolded, and they're probably even controlled when it comes to eating a few bites of food each day. Tsk tsk tsk..."

The couple seemed particularly happy talking badly about others, and their sweet and affectionate demeanor attracted the attention of those around them.

“Yuan Tingwei and his wife seem quite affectionate; they’ve been sitting here for so long and haven’t even noticed the people next to them.”

Suddenly, a strange, sarcastic voice came from across the street. The couple looked up and Tang Yu asked in a low voice.

"Who is it?"

I had a strange feeling that the visitor was up to no good.

"Princess Yuchang".

Hearing this soft reply, Tang Yu became even more puzzled.

"Someone who used to like you?"

"No, the princess used to be in love with General Huo."

After the couple finished exchanging information, Yuan Shen bowed to Princess Yuchang.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Princess. Since our marriage, I have not been able to bear to leave my new wife for even a day."

"I was just telling jokes with my bride and didn't notice you for a moment, Princess. Please forgive me."

Yu Chang's face darkened further; she had already married a new husband long ago.

However, she was dissatisfied with this marriage because she still harbored resentment about the past.

Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd, because Huo Buyi had arrived with his wife, Cheng Shaoshang.

This famous young couple in Kyoto remains a celebrity couple in the public eye to this day.

After all, the engagement was broken off, which involved several other famous figures in Kyoto.

Since Yuan Shen and Yu Chang happened to be both present today, everyone turned their gossipy attention to these two.

"It seems your story is quite famous; a lot of people are watching you."

This is clearly an ordinary statement.

But the next second, Yuan Shen's waist was pinched hard by his wife, which made his face twist. Sure enough, his wife was jealous.

"Madam, people in Kyoto just love to watch the excitement. Don't take what outsiders say to heart."

Tang Yu didn't really care that much, she was just inexplicably annoyed, probably because someone wanted to make her even more annoyed today.

Just then, another woman spoke up.

"Look, Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Yuan are wearing the same color clothes."

Unfortunately, Madam Huo is clearly pampered, while Madam Yuan is doomed to marry someone she already loves.

Chapter 25: Starry Sky 25

If you were to ask Tang Yu how he felt at this moment...

In short, speechless.

Does she look like a tragic supporting character? Don't give her too much screen time.

It's still this kind of pitiful, unlovable role.

"My husband, we are a perfect match, but some ugly people just don't have eyes."

It's lamentable that the medical facilities in Kyoto can't cure this eye disease, resulting in so many more people going blind in the world.

Upon hearing this, the people around burst into laughter, and the woman who had just spoken turned pale and then red in an instant.

"Madam Yuan, you'd better not be arrogant. Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you'll win your husband's favor."

As soon as he uttered these angry words, Yuan Shen immediately put his arm around his wife's slender waist and spoke.

"He's just a clown, madam, don't look at him, it'll hurt your eyes."

"Ugly people often cause trouble, that's for sure."

"It is precisely because she is not loved by her husband that she assumes that others are also living in misery."

The two were being all lovey-dovey in front of everyone, their words dripping with venom, which made the person who had just spoken turn ashen with anger.

Cheng Shaoshang, who was not far away, watched a good show.

"They're such a perfect couple, they have so many different ways of cursing, no wonder they became family."

Huo Buyi chuckled.

"If you are not a family, you will not enter the same family."

Because it was a palace banquet, aside from some verbal sparring, no one dared to cause trouble.

Therefore, the latter half of the banquet was spent congratulating the Emperor.

During this process, Tang Yu witnessed just how much Emperor Wen favored Huo Buyi and his wife.

"You dared to steal the emperor's adopted son's wife back then, you had a lot of guts."

As the palace banquet ended and the two of them stepped out of the palace gate, Tang Yu burst out laughing right next to Yuan Shen's ear.

Yuan Shen was somewhat speechless. Who hasn't been young and impetuous?

Besides, I genuinely liked him back then.
