Yan Xi's long eyelashes trembled, she took a sip of tea, raised her eyes, and said softly.
"Why don't Mr. Li try to communicate with the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister's Office should not need any help now, not to mention His Highness the Fifth Prince is not bad at all. This marriage should be a good match."
He paused for a while and expressed his opinion.
"If His Highness the Fifth Prince comes to ask for marriage, I don't think the Prime Minister will refuse."
Mr. Li sighed when he heard this, looking troubled.
"This matter is not as simple as you think."
He and the Fifth Highness liked each other, and his mother also knew about this, so she wanted to get something from the Fifth Highness.
But His Highness the Fifth Prince is just an idle prince, with limited rights and assets, and there are other concubines in the palace, so it is impossible to favor him so openly.
Those who can marry their children into the palace have a high family status.
For example, there is a concubine room in the harem of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who is the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites. Although he is a bit short of being a real monarch, he is clearly a noble concubine.
After every man gets married, he represents the interests of his family. It would be fine if he married him according to the specifications of the official husband, but handing over some of his rights like the mother said is really too much.
But having enjoyed fine clothing and food since he was a child, he had no right to raise dissatisfaction with his mother.
Without the family, he is nothing.
Thinking of this, Mr. Li looked a little depressed.
Yan Xi took his expression into consideration and lowered her eyes calmly. Thinking that the little girl seemed to care about their relationship, she planned to go back and talk to her in the evening.
Just as he was chanting, there was a small commotion around him.
The people sitting nearby looked towards them, and then their eyes fell on him teasingly.
"Mr. Yan, your Royal Highness is here to pick you up."
I had heard before that every time Young Master Yan went out to attend a banquet, the Crown Princess would pick him up personally if she was free. I didn't expect this to be true.
Nowadays, no one in the capital knows about the love between the two. Many noble sons have proposed to marry the Crown Princess, even as a concubine. In the end, of course, they were rejected by their respective heads of family.
They only care about the little girl respecting and loving her husband, but the officials see more than what they see.
Judging from several conversations, it was clear that this person was not ready to take a concubine now.
No one dared to persuade. The imperial court had just bloodbathed a wave of officials. Now the people taking office are all under the influence of the Crown Princess. Who dares to touch this bad luck.
You have to wait at least half a year to a year.
When the time comes, the concubine of the family will be sent to the palace, and the legitimate son will naturally be kept to marry other officials.
The calculations in their minds were going on, and the officials never thought about what they would do if the little girl did not take a concubine in the future.
After all, in their opinion, no one would dislike having too many servants in the house.
Hearing the voice, Yan Xi subconsciously raised her eyes and caught sight of the small figure walking not far away.
Gardenia was wearing a blue and white dress today, and it was obviously the same piece of fabric as the one he was wearing. Just by looking at it, you could tell that the two were a couple.
Her black hair was tied up high with a crown of jade, and the tail of her hair fell down to her waist, revealing her delicate, soft and white face.
There was a slight wind blowing in the air, and her hair swayed along with her skirt, which looked almost unreal.
The noble gentlemen attending the banquet could not help but peek over, their faces a little red.
But when his eyes fell on the sachet she wore around her waist, she felt a little discouraged.
Why was someone else taking the lead?
The Crown Princess has rarely been in the capital these years, and the nobles of the aristocratic families don't know her well, and many people have even barely seen her.
Even though they heard that Her Highness had a kind personality and was the best among all the princesses, everyone did not take it to heart. Instead, they preferred the beautiful Fifth Highness.
