The prince doesn't want to marry Xinru, he just needs to reject the Li family, so why go to all the trouble to say these things to her? There is still something fishy!
Chiyang then said: "Master Li can't reach the Prince's Mansion, so I'm afraid he will have to choose another high branch."
The implication is that Li Xinru will still be given as a gift.
Mrs. Su suddenly realized that this was the case, but a new doubt arose.
The prince doesn't look like a nosy person, so why should he worry about whether his son and Xinru can be together?
Chiyang finally understood how Li Jing's behavior could "see" that she was scolding him in her heart. Mrs. Su didn't say a word, but she wrote all her thoughts on her face. Even someone like her who was not good at observing words and emotions Anyone can see it at a glance.
"Although the Prince's Mansion does not want to be tied to Minister Li, it does not want to have another enemy, so it is especially hoped that the Young Master can finally get married to Miss Li."
Of course, there is another purpose - to show favor to the Su family and recruit Su Zhuo!
Mrs. Su's face was no longer confused this time.
"But Mr. Li and Mrs. Li don't like Quanzi. It's not like Quanzi can marry him if he wants to."
"Madam, don't worry. After today, Shilang Li will definitely welcome the Su family to come to propose marriage."
Madam Su was startled, as if she understood something, and Fu Shen said, "My wife, I would like to thank the Crown Princess for her kindness!"
She is extremely happy about this marriage, and it is natural that she would like to have a noble person to help her.
Chiyangxu gave him a hand.
"It's a trivial matter, Madam, you don't need to be polite. As the night is long and you have many dreams, Madam will discuss it with Mr. Su and Mr. Su and come to propose marriage as soon as possible."
"My wife obeys your orders!"
After the matter was settled, Chiyang went back home without staying.
Mrs. Su was impatient, so she sent Chiyang away and immediately sent someone outside to look for her son.
When Chiyang met Mrs. Su, Li Jingxing also took the time to meet Li Shilang in the restaurant.
When Li Yi learned that Li Jingxing had made an appointment with him, thinking that he was going to discuss marrying his daughter as his concubine, he happily opened the door to the private room.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness."
After Li Jingxing Deng Li Yi performed a full salute, he said slowly: "Get up."
Li Yi stood up, but did not hear Li Jingxing asking him to take a seat, so he had to stand aside with his head lowered, feeling a little confused about the prince's intention.
"Master Li, I heard that your first wife made a marriage arrangement for your eldest daughter when she was still alive."
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly: "That's just a woman's verbal joke, it can't be taken seriously."
"Ke Gu heard that your eldest daughter has been getting along with that Mr. Su day and night. They have been in love with each other for a long time. They were already talking about getting married."
Li Yi became a little panicked and carefully said: "Mrs. Su is very close to my daughter and often invites her to her house as a guest. My daughter has always been cautious in her words and deeds and has not done anything out of the ordinary with the Su family boy. As for talking about marriage, the Su family The boy does admire the girl, but the girl has no interest in him, so my wife refused the marriage."
Li Jingxing took a sip of tea and said, neither lightly nor seriously: "Master Li knows well whether we are in love or not. Gu is neither deaf nor blind. Some things can be known just by asking. If Master Li deliberately conceals it, what will happen to Gu?" Okay?"
Li Yi's knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
Li Jingxing glanced at Li Yi, who was trembling with fear, and thought that it was ridiculous for such a weakling to be able to sit in the position of minister of the Ministry of War, and to dream of being the leader of a department.
"Since your love and the young master of the Su family are in love, Gu thinks there is no need to break up the lovers. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Yi was covered in cold sweat and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Highness is right, and I also think that my daughter and the boy from the Su family are a good match!"
Li Yi thought that Li Jingxing was angry because he concealed his daughter's affair with Su Zhuo, but he never expected that Li Jingxing's real purpose was to win over Su Zhuo.
The Su family acted quickly. On the third day, they sent an official matchmaker to propose marriage, and also asked Li Xinru's mother's aunt to be the matchmaker.
Li Xinru's biological mother's brother was a local governor, and his rank was half a rank higher than Li Yi's. The Li family couldn't make a mistake, and they were afraid of Li Jingxing's threat, so they accepted the marriage with tears.
Su Zhuo didn't expect that things could turn around, and he was overjoyed. After calming down, he quickly came to his senses, thought over and over again, and asked to see Li Jingxing in private.
Three days later, Li Jingxing told Chiyang that he had recruited Su Zhuo under his command.
Five days later, Li Jingxing told Chiyang another funny thing.
Li Yi saw that Li Jingxing "disgusted" that his eldest daughter had an affair with a man, so he proposed to send the younger daughter to the prince's mansion after she had grown hair.
In order to stabilize Li Yi, Li Jingxing gave an ambiguous answer. Li Yi thought there was still something to be done, so he became complacent again.
Soon the birthday of Princess Anyang came. Li Jingxing was on duty that day, so Chiyang went to Andinghou Mansion alone.
She had a distinguished status and did not hang out with other aristocratic wives. When she arrived, she was led to Princess Anyang and stayed with a room full of ladies who were more or less related to the royal family.
Although Chiyang doesn't like socializing, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to socialize. She chats and laughs with a group of ladies and handles it with ease.
Chiyang met with Princess Shisun and Mrs. Shisun of Prince Duan's Mansion.
The latter was fine, but the former obviously had a grudge against her, but after all, this was Princess Anyang's place, and she didn't dare to make the favored princess unhappy, so she didn't find trouble with Chiyang.
The Chi family was also invited, but only the Chi family wanted to keep a distance from the royal family, so they made excuses not to come.
After Chiyang dealt with it for a while, he made an excuse to leave and find a relatively secluded place to hide and relax.
Not long after, Wei Lingxi led Gu Qingluan to find her.
"Lingxi has met the Crown Princess."
"My daughter has met the Crown Princess."
Chiyang returned a half salute to Wei Lingxi.
Seeing Wei Lingxi and Gu Qingluan approaching, the noble girls and young wives who were originally surrounding Chiyang moved away.
Wei Lingxi didn't care at all. He came over and took Chiyang's arm intimately, and said familiarly: "Can I call you cousin-in-law?"
The incident at Zhenbaofang and the refusal of Mrs. Duanwangfu's request to be a mediator made Wei Lingxi very fond of Chiyang.
She has always been pampered by her parents and loved by the emperor. She has developed an attitude of being fearless towards anyone and anything. Naturally, she is not afraid of Chiyang's status as the crown princess.
Chiyang said with a smile: "Originally, the princess can scream whenever she wants."
Seeing Chiyang's open and generous attitude, Wei Lingxi became even more fond of her.
"Does your cousin know that Gu Qingzhi is here too?"
Chiyang pretended to be surprised: "I don't know."
Logically speaking, as Gu Qingzhi's concubine, she is not qualified to attend such a top-notch banquet.
Wei Lingxi said proudly: "Qingluan told me that the prince's cousin liked Gu Qingzhi before. I will vent my anger on my cousin's behalf later."
