"Cousin means that I am the best candidate for his side concubine?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"Yes, before he asked his mother's good sister Concubine Yan to go to the emperor to talk about the marriage, the emperor did not agree to him to choose Luo Yi, that is the protection of the prince, but if he mentions you at this moment, the emperor should not object, and will give marriage immediately." Jiang Qingchen said.

"Is it because my officialdom has no backer?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"It's not entirely right, the emperor's positioning of the Seven Princes is that of an idle prince, and whoever meets this condition, the Seven Princes will agree to any request." Jiang Qingchen said.

"But according to the royal rules, isn't there a main concubine before a side concubine?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"Yes, the emperor actually has already selected the concubines of the seven princes, and when he establishes the mansion next year, they will be decided together." Jiang Qingchen said.

In fact, Jiang Qingchen already knew the emperor's candidate, that is, Wang Jiaying, the daughter of the Ministry of Works, and Meng Yunuo, the granddaughter of Yienhou, but it has not yet been decided, so Jiang Qingchen did not mention this matter to Yun Xiangrong.

It is said that the daughter of the squire of the Ministry of Industry is assigned to the Seventh Prince as a concubine, even if the Seventh Prince's position is an idle prince, but it doesn't seem to be very suitable, in fact, the emperor has already considered this matter, and there will be big moves in the court recently. The Ministry of Works' squire will be entrusted with important duties.

But I am also afraid that the Seventh Prince will not agree, so there will be Meng Yunuo as a substitute.

"Hey." Yun Xiangrong sighed and lowered his head.

Yun Xiangrong grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, and many things are not as complicated as the capital, after entering Beijing, he feels that he is just a chess piece, the imperial power is on top, and people want to do whatever they want from you, and they will not be like my cousin to myself, everything has a discussion.

There was a little helplessness in my heart.

Jiang Qingchen saw that Yun Xiangrong was depressed, touched Yun Xiangrong's head and said, "Actually, the emperor also has a headache about my marriage. Because my identity is more embarrassing, it is more important for him to win over and guard against it, this time I will take the first step and go to the queen to propose marriage, if the emperor knows that it is you, he should be very happy. Don't be unhappy, I've been waiting for you to agree for so long, you just agreed, why is it like this. ”

"Cousin, I don't blame you for this, I just think that there are so many twists and turns in a marriage, and I will face more in the future, and I feel a little sad in my heart." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Baby, you don't have to worry, everything has me, and I will accompany you through everything." Jiang Qingchen said.

Yun Xiangrong suddenly looked up at Jiang Qingchen and said, "You just said that we must ask the queen to marry immediately, it seems that the reason is very sufficient, there are your reasons and my reasons, but why do I think there are some things, you still haven't said it?" ”

Jiang Qingchen's first reaction was the noon incident, Lord Chen came to find him, saying that he was the best son-in-law candidate in his mind, and he didn't want to tell Yun Xiangrong about this, for fear that she would be embarrassed to see Luo Yi later. After all, the two will inevitably meet in the capital in the future.

As far as Jiang Qingchen's judgment is concerned, Lord Luo will not tell Luo Yi about this matter, as if this incident never happened, okay.

Yun Xiangrong saw that Jiang Qingchen didn't speak, as if he was thoughtful, he felt that he must have guessed correctly this time, so he said: "You have explained all the reasons now, I am generous, I don't care, if you don't say it, don't think about my cooperation." ”

Jiang Qingchen suddenly understood what Yun Xiangrong was referring to, so he said, "Is it okay if people are difficult to dismantle?" You have to make it clear to me how stingy and shameless I am. ”

"I have to say." Yun Xiangrong insisted.

"Isn't it that Zhao Xinyan still has to stay in the capital for a few days? I want him to know that you and I have been given marriage before leaving the capital, so that he will die early. Jiang Qingchen tilted his head and whispered this.

"That's the main reason why you want to get married right away, right? Something like the Seven Princes isn't the main reason, right? Yun Xiangrong said questioningly.

"Yes, I don't care about being embarrassed anyway, I've said everything." Jiang Qingchen said.

"I really think you're so small-minded, the things between me and Zhao Xinyan are all clear to you, there is really nothing, I never cared about you having a roommate, you and I calculate this?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"Am I small-minded? He entered the Houfu that day and said that he had a marriage contract with you and was your future husband, did he not wake up from a daydream? I have to wake him up. Jiang Qingchen said.

"He told me about this, because he was afraid that the porter would not let him in. What's there to worry about, are you going to worry about the rumors in the market? Yun Xiangrong said.

Jiang Qingchen sat on the stone bench and didn't speak, anyway, his face was full of unhappiness.

Yun Xiangrong felt that it was not worth destroying the relationship between the two people as an outsider, anyway, he always had to wait for the royal marriage, just a month earlier, it was not a big deal, he had to wait until he officially got married, and the process was completed, and the fastest was half a year later.

So he said, "Cousin, let's make an appointment." Don't mention the people and things before, such as Zhao Xinyan and Wisteria, although I think I'm a bit of a loss in this exchange, but I'm generous and don't care about you. If you don't agree, that's fine, there's so much you can say. ”

Jiang Qingchen immediately said: "Deal." ”

It's almost like Yun Xiangrong regrets his exchange decision a little.

"I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning and ask the queen to give me a marriage, with my understanding of the queen, she will definitely want to see you, you have to prepare, although it is not a formal meeting, but a small gift should be prepared a little, it is not very valuable, it is good to have your heart." Jiang Qingchen said.

Yun Xiangrong knew that this was necessary, but he felt that he was going to enter the palace again, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Very reluctantly.

"You don't have to worry about it this time, I will accompany you into the palace together, because the palace has clear requirements for the time when men enter the palace, and we will stay in the palace for three hours at most, and then we will leave." Jiang Qingchen said.

"Oh." Yun Xiangrong said.

Jiang Qingchen felt that Yun Xiangrong was a little confused, shouldn't he ask himself now, what should he pay attention to after entering the palace? If you don't ask, then take the initiative to say it yourself.

"Rongrong, the values in the palace are not quite the same as the people, many times I can't help you even if I'm next to you, if I keep protecting you, it's not good for you, you enter the palace is a formality, please the queen or not, it doesn't matter, you can have enough respect." Jiang Qingchen said.

"Then if you can please the queen, won't you please it?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

Jiang Qingchen said in his heart, girl, you are real, of course it is right to please the queen, but how can the queen's temper be able to please casually, you have never been in contact with her, how can you do it, I am afraid that you will be under pressure.

"You be yourself, don't break the rules, don't care too much about anything else. I don't want my baby to be embarrassed. Jiang Qingchen said dotingly.

"Oh." Yun Xiangrong knew that Jiang Qingchen was comforting himself. In fact, Jiang Qingchen didn't have much confidence in himself.

Jiang Qingchen saw that Yun Xiangrong was not very interested, so he wanted to say something happy, and said: "On the way back just now, I saw the personal guards of the third prince, saying that it was the third prince the day after tomorrow, and he came back, to be precise, Ye Haiqing will also return to Beijing." ”

"Oh, do you know that? She must have been very happy if she knew. Yun Xiangrong said.

"I forgot to tell her just now, and I will tell her in a while, Haiqing will return to Beijing, you can go out, and I will accompany you, aren't you happy? Let's go to my other courtyard outside the capital for a few days. Jiang Qingchen said.

Jiang Qingchen knew that since he left the princess's mansion, his stepmother Yun Xue would not let Yun Xiangrong go out for safety, who wouldn't want to go out to play at this age?

"Happy. Are we going to the same Zhuangzi where my mother and cousin took a hot spring last time? "Thinking of being able to go out and play, Yun Xiangrong is of course happy. My mother also said that Zhuangzi was very good.

"That Zhuangzi can only soak in hot springs, suitable for elders, if you want to go, I'll take you there when I'm done with this, we are going to Dawn Villa this time, it is Xi'an to help me buy the property, the villa is on the top of the mountain, the sunrise and sunset are very beautiful, you will definitely like it very much." Jiang Qingchen said.

Jiang Xi'an is really discerning in business, and the geographical location of Dawn Villa is very suitable for growing high-grade medicinal materials, so he helped Jiang Qingchen buy the land on the top of the mountain, and then built Dawn Villa according to his own taste.

Originally, it was said that it costs a lot to raise a mountain villa, but the annual income of Dawn Mountain Villa is enough to raise three more similar mountain villas.

"Good. What else can be done there besides watching the sunrise? Yun Xiangrong asked curiously.

"Men should like to hunt hares, fish or something, we can do game barbecue. I can't say well about girls, last time I saw Xinxin make a lot of sachets with the herbs there, and she was very happy. The scenery over there is beautiful, and there are a lot of wild fruits, and the taste is also very good. Jiang Qingchen usually doesn't care much about girls, so the answer to this question is messy.

Although Yun Xiangrong was very curious about this villa, he felt that his question should be asked to Jiang Xinxin, so that he could get the answer he wanted. So I decided not to ask.

Yun Xiangrong adjusted his mentality, knowing that entering the palace this time was very important to him and Jiang Qingchen, so he said: "Cousin, you go and tell Xinxin, Brother Ye has returned to Beijing, I want to go back." ”

"What are you doing in such a hurry, let's talk again." Jiang Qingchen said.

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to do business, by the way, if you have any news about the exact time to enter the palace, you must notify me immediately, I'm going to prepare now." Yun Xiangrong said

After speaking, Yun Xiang put down the stone table and wanted to leave.

Jiang Qingchen was a little surprised and said, "What are you going to prepare?" ”

"I'm going to give a gift to the Queen." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll let the housekeeper open the storeroom, and I'll help you pick out the gifts together." Jiang Qingchen said.

"No need cousin, the queen of the Hou Mansion's gift will not like it. I've chosen this one, but I brought a lot of things into Beijing this time, and I need to look for it carefully. Yun Xiangrong said.

Jiang Qingchen knew that Yun Xiangrong was a measured girl, and the gift to Xibao was very good, seeing that Yun Xiangrong was very confident, let her go with her.
