Chapter 150 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 14
Chu Yuan took his golf club and followed the princess into the court.
Princess Jiayi is the daughter of the Queen. She grew up with her brothers and is very proficient in polo and chuiwan.
But Chu Yuan was not far behind. This Chui Wan was very similar to modern golf. In her previous world, she had paid a lot of membership fees to the golf club, and many deals were done on the golf course.
So she can be said to be very good at this sport.
The two players take turns swinging the club to hit the ball, and the one who hits more holes wins.
After several rounds, Chu Yuan took the lead by one goal and won the victory.
Princess Jiayi patted her shoulder and said, "Yutong is right. You are really amazing. Even I am defeated by you. I really want you to compete with my brothers to see who is better."
Chu Yuan didn't dare to respond. It was already an honor for her to compete with the princess. Just now, she actually wanted to end the battle with the princess in a draw.
But this kind of sport also depends on luck. She was just too lucky. She wanted to hit the last ball off target, but a gust of wind blew it in.
Princess Haozao doesn't care about winning or losing.
However, if she were asked to fight against the prince, she would never dare to do so, as it could easily cost her her head.
However, the opposite happened. Before she could reply, she heard a voice coming from afar.
"Jiayi, what bad things are you saying about us behind our backs again?"
"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, why are you here?"
It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince. There were two familiar faces among them, Huo Yucheng and Changsun Yizhong.
"Why, you are allowed to come and have fun, but the brothers can't come and kill some time? Which girl did you admire so much just now?"
Chu Yuan was about to hide when she paused: "I am Chu Yuan, your humble daughter. I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince."
"A commoner woman? I am quite curious. How about you compete with my fifth brother?"
The fifth prince also echoed: "Yes, I don't believe that a commoner woman's Chui Wan skills can be better than Sister Jiayi's."
Chu Yuan was in a difficult situation at this moment. She couldn't refuse the Crown Prince's request.
Just when she didn't know how to respond, a tall figure blocked her way.
"Your Highness, she is just a woman, how can she be qualified to compete with the prince? Why not let me compete with the fifth prince?"
It’s him, Huo Yucheng.
"Haha, it seems like Yucheng is itching to show off his skills. That's good, then you will be the one holding the club in the next round."
A crisis was resolved quietly like this, and Chu Yuan rarely went out since then.
Du Yutong and Yang Zhiyan even came to her house to apologize to her for what happened last time.
"Yuanyuan, last time we were too competitive and pushed you out without considering the consequences. Luckily nothing happened to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sleep well."
"Yes, luckily Huo Yucheng came out to help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Chu Yuan didn't mean to blame them. After all, no one knew that the prince would appear there.
But this incident made her more alert. At least, she would never go to such occasions as that day again.
A few people chatted for a while, and gradually the topic shifted to other places.
Du Yutong started to complain first, saying that all the men her family had arranged for her to meet were ugly.
Later, Yang Zhiyan also agreed, and her family supported her in finding a man of her choice.
But her lover, the young Master Yan, avoided her as if she were some kind of monster.
Chu Yuan was helpless in this matter, as she did not know much about the young talents in Shangjing City.
But both of them are only 16 this year, one year younger than her. Why are their families so anxious for them to get married?
Speaking of this, Du Yutong became angry. The Fourth Prince once visited her father and expressed his desire to marry into her family.
But her father didn't want her to marry into the royal family. Her love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had become known to everyone, and her father had no choice but to make arrangements for her.
Now that the prince has married, his father specifically called her to the study and told her to give up this idea.
In fact, her father was really worrying too much. No matter how much she liked him, she would never lower her status to become someone else's concubine.
But it was obvious that everyone in the Marquis's Mansion was scared of her, so they wanted to find a good family to arrange her marriage as soon as possible.
Yang Zhiyan's situation is similar. In two years, it will be time for the talent show again, and she won't be able to decide her own marriage by then.
Speaking of the beauty pageant, Chu Yuan was also within the scope of the selection. With her status, she was likely to be sent to a palace to be a maid.
Both ladies were very worried about her and hoped that she could find her ideal husband as soon as possible.
Chu Yuan himself was not too worried, as there were many possibilities of being eliminated from the draft.
If she developed a rash on her face or a bad body odor, she would be sent home, with the possible damage to her reputation.
However, in ancient times when imperial power was supreme, not getting married was definitely impossible.
Even if she herself doesn't care about people's criticism, Chu Yang is going to pursue a career in politics in the future, and Chu Yuan can't let herself become the reason for him to be criticized.
If she were lucky enough to meet someone with whom she could hold hands for the rest of her life, Chu Yuan would naturally not refuse. If she couldn't meet that person, she would be prepared.
When she first came to this world, she also threw a puppet into the world. Its identity was set to be a traveling doctor named Qu Daocheng, who was now traveling around to diagnose people.
If her marriage is still not settled by then, she will call him back to the capital and they can work together to pretend to be together.
She has already left a way out for herself, so she is not too concerned about marriage.
But when fate comes, it cannot be stopped.
Not long after, Chu Yuan saw something that didn't belong here in his home, a pot of orchid.
"Chun Tao, where did this orchid come from?"
"Miss, it was sent by the new neighbor next door, saying it was to celebrate the new house."
Chu Yuan found it a little strange. Who would give gifts to others when moving to a new house? However, the gift had already been received and could not be returned.
So he ordered the maid: "In this case, go to the storehouse and choose some suitable return gifts to send over."
This variety of orchid was one that Chu Yuan had never seen before. It had pink stamens and yellow petals, with a hint of white in the center of the petals. The fragrance it exuded was very pleasant.
Judging from its appearance and smelling its odor, it seemed that no one had tampered with it. She also dug up the soil in the pot and found nothing unusual.
Chu Yuan ordered people to transplant it to the garden and take good care of it, and also dripped half a drop of spiritual spring water on the roots to keep it alive.
The next morning, she had to go to the teahouse to keep an appointment. Today the storyteller was going to tell a new story.
As soon as I went out, I met my new neighbor coming out from next door.
