The prince came back to his senses with a smile, and said under the influence of wine: "It's a happy and harmonious atmosphere, which is what every household longs for. I also envy Mr. An."
The prince suddenly thought of An Xiyue's drunken rhetoric last time. The daughters of An's house seemed to have their own merits.
Nangong Yuanyi also drank a little too much. He really couldn't understand what the prince's intention was when he came here tonight.
There was no more snow in the sky, and at night it was still very cold.
An Yuxiao also drank too much, but still insisted on coming out to see the prince and the prince off.
In the darkness, suddenly there was a pair of eyes watching the scene in front of An Mansion.
"Jun'er, we must send the prince back to his residence safely." An Yuxiao instructed.
"Dad, please come into the house and rest quickly." An Tingjun said.
An Xiyue and Nangong Yuanyi also said goodbye to the prince before getting into the carriage.
I could only hear the wheels creaking against the snow, and the driver was driving very slowly.
Seeing that he drank a little too much, An Xiyue asked with concern: "Is it uncomfortable to drink so much?"
Nangong Yuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to collapse. An Xiyue quickly caught him and put him on her lap: "Don't stay for dinner next time you come back, so as not to make them uncomfortable."
"It's because the prince is here that I feel uncomfortable." Nangong Yuanyi replied with his eyes closed to rest.
"For no reason, why is the prince here?" An Xiyue asked.
Nangong Yuanyi took her hand and said, "I want to marry the daughter of An Mansion."
An Xiyue opened her eyes wide and exclaimed: "Except for Xiu'er, who is about to get married, the rest of our sisters are still young. Xiu'er has broken off the engagement, so it's impossible for the imperial concubine to take notice of her."
"Yan'er from the second uncle's family, that girl has not been accustomed to rules since she was a child, and she doesn't like to study. There is only Yuan'er from the third uncle's family. However, the second uncle and the third uncle's official positions are not high, and I am afraid that she will not be able to sit in the position of crown princess. "
"If the crown princess can't do it, the concubine can do it."
"My grandmother will never allow An's daughter to be a concubine. She would rather be a poor family's wife than a rich man's concubine." An Xiyue said.
"The crown prince's concubine's status is not low either." Nangong Yuanyi pointed out.
An Xiyue was so angry that she tugged on his ears, "No matter how low the status is, she is still a concubine, and she is competing with many women for a man. My grandfather was a county magistrate back then, but he only had my grandmother as his wife."
Nangong Yuanyi immediately jumped up from her lap, "I finally know who you got this temper from, it's your grandmother."
"What's wrong with my grandmother? She is the most sensible person." An Xiyue said: "She wanted to marry me to her good sister's grandson, but she didn't want me to marry into the palace because she was afraid that I would suffer in the palace. "
"Zou Heng, the only grandson of the Zou family in Pingcheng, has already passed the examination at the age of twenty. It is indeed remarkable. If he works harder, he should be in the top three before the age of twenty-five." Nangong Yuanyi said directly.
"So you're investigating people."
"This is called knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle." Nangong Yuanyi became shameless again: "Otherwise, how would you win a beautiful woman?"
An Xiyue blushed and glared at him, "The prince wants to marry him, but our family has no daughter to marry him."
"Maybe there is. Everyone is flirting with each other, but you are the only one who doesn't see it."
An Xiyue carefully recalled who was different at today's dinner table, and exclaimed: "Is it really Yuan'er?"
"My wife is so smart that she will make her husband happy with her."
Nangong Yuanyi gently lifted An Xiyue and placed him on his lap, holding An Xiyue's hand tightly.
An Xiyue opened him and murmured: "The prince really thinks long term. Whether he is from the second or third uncle's family, Yuan'er is also named An. Has he also begun to win over the courtiers? If her father is not appreciated by the emperor, An The government probably won’t be pushed to the forefront, which is really a blessing and a curse.”
