Of course the Crown Princess did not believe such rhetoric.

But if you don’t believe it, what can you do?

As my son gets older, he has long been able to take charge of his own affairs and is very independent. As long as there is something he doesn't want to say, no matter how hard he presses, he won't say a word more.

The Crown Princess thought for a moment, then opened her mouth to test: "Are you still thinking about Ling Jingshu?"

As soon as Ling Jingshu heard these three words, a trace of pain flashed through the eyes of the emperor's grandson, and his expression soon returned to expressionless: "Mother and concubine are worried too much. I know my identity and what I should do. I won’t focus on the love between my children.”

That’s right.

The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief and said gently: "Ah Yao, it's great that you can think so. You were born in the royal family, and you are the grandson of the Zhou Dynasty. You are born with nobility, and the obligations and responsibilities you have to bear are far better than others. , you cannot be willful..."

yes!

He is the great grandson of the Zhou Dynasty. He wants to focus all his energy on government affairs. He wants to deal with the ambitious mother and son of Prince Yan. He wants to assist his father in ascending the throne and achieve the eternal emperor's legacy...

How could he have the qualifications to be willful like this? Where is the right to disregard everything?

If you want to gain something, you will always have to lose something else.

The world is in a dilemma! No one can do whatever they want.

Even though he has a noble status, he is no exception!

The emperor's grandson listened silently to the princess's chatter, with waves of bitterness flowing through his heart.

"...By the way, King Yan's marriage has been decided. In a few days at most, there will be a marriage decree from the palace. I heard that the wedding date has been set, at the end of the year." The Crown Princess quickly changed the subject: "Xu The queen is very calculating, and she specially chose such a marriage for King Yan. "

When she said the last sentence, the Crown Princess couldn't help but snorted coldly.

The emperor's grandson suppressed his complicated thoughts and said calmly: "The thoughts of their mother and son, except for the emperor's grandfather, are kept in the dark, and both the government and the public know about it. It can be considered a good intention to specially choose such a Princess Yan."

Marriage has always been the best way to win over important officials in the court.

As soon as the second Miss Wang married into Prince Yan's palace, everyone in Duke Ping's palace had no choice but to be tied to Prince Yan's ship and advance and retreat together.

The Crown Princess's face also darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, your marriage must not be lost to King Yan."

This is not only a matter of fighting for a while, but also affects the people's aspirations in the East Palace and Prince Yan's Mansion. Therefore, we must not take it lightly. From this point of view, Ling Jingshu is definitely not qualified to become the grand concubine.

The emperor's grandson heard the implication of the princess's words, and the bitterness in his heart almost overwhelmed him completely.

However, his rationality still suppressed the chaos in his heart, and he slowly opened his mouth and said: "What the mother said is true. I have been delaying choosing a concubine for betrothal, and it is really inappropriate. After the palace promulgated the decree of King Yan to grant the marriage, , my mother-in-law will take care of my marriage."

These words spoke to the heart of the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess's eyes lit up, and she smiled and nodded without thinking: "Okay, leave these matters to me, and I will definitely choose the most suitable and outstanding wife for you."

The emperor's grandson twitched his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The Crown Princess said enthusiastically: "To tell you the truth, your father and I have discussed the candidate for a long time. Although there are many famous ladies in the capital, there are not many who have outstanding talents and looks that can match yours. Su Ying is my biological niece and your cousin, with a gentle and elegant temperament. And Jiang Rongyue, who also grew up with you, has a lively and lovely temperament, and her family background is first-class. Choose one of them."

"This is your life-long event. You have to choose the one you like. Now tell me everything. Of these two, which one do you like more?"

The emperor's grandson frowned and said nothing.

He had no ill feelings towards either of them. Of course, I don’t particularly like it.

Since we want to choose the most "suitable" concubine, we also want to choose the one with a better family background and who can help consolidate the power of the East Palace...

"Just the cousin of the Jiang family!" When the emperor's grandson talked about his marriage, he showed no unnecessary expression, just as casually as choosing who to be his personal bodyguard.

The Crown Princess smiled and frowned slightly: "Ah Yao, Su Ying is your direct cousin. The Su family is also a scholarly and noble family, why don't you choose Su Ying?"

From the perspective of the princess, of course she prefers her niece.

The emperor's grandson raised his head and looked over: "Didn't my mother and concubine just say that I can't lose my marriage to King Yan? Although the Su family is good, they are noble civil servants of the Qing Dynasty and have a good reputation among civil servants. But the British Duke He has a lot of troops and is very popular among the noble generals. If he wants to surpass the Duke of Ping, it is of course more suitable to marry the legitimate daughter of the British Duke. "

Crown Princess: "..."

The Crown Princess was speechless, but she had to admit that what the Crown Prince said made sense.

"I remember that there are only a few days until the haircut ceremony for the cousin of the Jiang family. Then I will go to the British Duke's Mansion with my mother and concubine to congratulate her!" the emperor's grandson said calmly.

The Crown Princess finally came to her senses and nodded in agreement with a complicated expression.

"Let the mother and concubine discuss this matter with the father!" After the emperor's grandson finished speaking, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. The mother and concubine will go to bed and rest first, and the sons and ministers will leave."

After the emperor's grandson left, the princess sat on the chair with a gloomy expression, and sighed after a long time.

That’s it!

No matter how important your mother's family is, it is not as important as your son. Since he wants to marry Miss Jiang, just follow his wishes.

…

Two days later, the palace issued a decree for King Yan to marry him.

The news spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

After Ling Jingyan heard about this, she felt sad for a moment. She quickly cheered up and went to Ling Jingshu's house: "Ah Shu, I have big news to tell you. You will be happy after hearing it."

Ling Jingshu asked with a smile: "Oh? What's the news?"

"The palace has decreed a marriage for King Yan!" Ling Jingyan announced loudly: "The other party is the second Miss Wang from the Pingguo Palace. I heard that the wedding will be held at the end of the year!"

Ling Jingshu's reaction was rather cold: "Oh, I understand."

Ling Jingyan was a little dissatisfied: "Why do you react so indifferently? King Yan is about to get married and get a wife, and he will not harass you again in the future."

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly: "Have you forgotten my strange disease? Even if King Yan doesn't marry a wife, it has nothing to do with me."

Ling Jingyan secretly regretted her gaffe.

Knowing that Ling Jingshu was suffering from a strange disease, she was neither able nor willing to get close to any man. When she mentioned these things, she undoubtedly poked Ling Jingshu's scars.

Ling Jingyan coughed and quickly changed the topic: "It's really boring to be stuck in the house all day. Tomorrow is the birthday ceremony for Miss Jiang, the second daughter of the British Duke. The two of us will go back with my sister-in-law to congratulate her."

Jiang Rongyue will definitely go to Jiang Rongyue's hair-raising ceremony.

Ling Jingshu thought for a while and smiled: "Okay, then let's go out and relax."
