Song Jingwen and Song Yichen came back from the academy and went directly to the backyard.
Mrs. Song was holding Song Jingyan's hand and instructing her.
Song Yichen smiled and said: "Mom, eldest sister, what are you two talking about? Are you so happy?"
Song Jingyan stood up with a smile, "Dad, little brother, are you back? Go and wash up, I'll let the servants prepare the food."
Song Yichen touched his belly and acted coquettishly with his sister, "Sister, go and get ready. I'm already hungry."
Song Jingyan smiled and nodded, then went down to give instructions.
Song Jingwen looked at his daughter with a beautiful smile and sighed slightly in his heart.
He originally planned to find a reliable marriage for Song Jingyan in two years. But she didn't expect that she would have been in love with Prince Liang for a long time.
He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Jingyan marry Prince Liang, but seeing that his daughter was so happy, it must be right.
But he was also worried that Li Yunhang was interested in the Song family's connections and status and would take advantage of his daughter.
Jingyan has already been hurt once. If she finds another in-law who takes advantage of her this time, it will be a devastating blow to her.
After dinner, he waved his hand and asked all the servants to leave, and then looked at Song Jingyan seriously.
Asked: "Jingyan, have you really considered it? Do you really want to marry that guy Li Yunhang?"
Song Jingyan nodded solemnly, "Father, mother, I have thought about it. If I get married again in this life, that person can only be Li Yunhang."
Mrs. Song glanced at her man, then held her daughter's hand distressedly and said:
"Jingyan, since you like him so much, your family will not stop you. Your parents will prepare a generous dowry for you so that you can marry in style."
Song Jingwen was silent for a moment, but finally spoke out, "Jingyan, you want to marry Prince Liang, and our family supports you. But there is one thing that dad wants to make clear to you.
I have already written a letter to the Crown Prince, telling him about you and Li Yunhang, and also stating the Song family's position.
I also want to tell you today, even if you marry Prince Liang’s son, our family will never support Prince Liang’s rebellion. "
Song Jingwen glanced at his daughter and saw that she was smiling and not looking angry, so he continued:
"Jingyan, don't blame dad. His Highness has saved our whole family. Our family will never do such treacherous things.
And the most important thing is, even if His Highness has not met you.
The Song family would not support a ruthless prince who did not care about the life and death of the people and only wanted to rebel. "
Song Jingyan looked at her parents and younger brother with a smile, "Dad, Li Yunhang is different from Prince Liang. He has no interest in that position and has never wanted to be an emperor.
He and I also made it clear that if he wanted to marry me, he would never compete for that position. He agreed and said he would help stop King Liang. "
After hearing what his daughter said, Song Jingwen's expression softened, but he was still skeptical in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't trust his daughter, it's that he doesn't trust Prince Liang and doesn't understand Li Yunhang's character.
I used to see him often when I was in the capital, but then he and his wife returned to Fengcheng and I rarely saw him.
I have rarely heard from him in the past few years. I only met him once when I sent Jingyan back some time ago. The person seems to have no desires and desires, and only Jingyan is in his eyes.
But he didn't know if he was pretending on purpose. Without in-depth contact, it was difficult to judge a person's personality and ambition.
But he knew that King Liang was ambitious and would never give up the rebellion.
There will definitely be a head-to-head confrontation with Ping An on the battlefield in the future.
He sighed in his heart, now he only hoped that Li Yunhang would treat Jingyan sincerely.
And like he said, he's not interested in that position.
Song Yichen looked at his father, then at his eldest sister, but said nothing.
He didn't tell the two of them that he chased after Li Yunhang when he left, and the two talked for a long time outside the city.
He knew all the past events between his sister and Li Yunhang.
It seemed that Li Yunhang knew what he was worried about and gave him a guarantee.
He said that he would be good to his sister and would never compete with the benefactor of the Song family for that position.
Song Yichen saw that he was sincere and chose to believe him for once.
Prince Liang's Mansion
Li Yunhang just got off the carriage and without going back to wash up, he asked the servants in the mansion, "Are the prince and princess in the mansion?"
The servant said respectfully: "My lord, the prince, the second young master and the third young lady are in the study room in the front yard, and the princess is in the small Buddhist hall in the backyard."
"Go and talk to the prince and princess. When they are free, come to the Lihua Hall. I will wait for them there."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant hurriedly went to report.
In Prince Liang's Mansion, except for the prince who dared to ask the prince and princess to come to see him, who else had the courage?
Even the third young lady, whom the prince regards as the apple of his eye, and the favored second young master, have never dared to talk to the prince like this.
King Liang was discussing this year's taxes with several staff and a pair of children in his study, when he saw his personal entourage pushing open the door and entering.
He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is back. He said he has something important to discuss with you and the princess. He is waiting at Lihua Pavilion now."
Prince Liang smiled, "Hang'er is back. Is he feeling better? I'll go over and have a look."
Then he said to several staff members: "Gentlemen, please go back and rest first. There is still some time before the autumn harvest. Just discuss this matter slowly. There is no rush."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several staff members bowed their hands and left the study.
Li Yunrui and Li Baozhu were very disdainful in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.
Fortunately, the sick man was in poor health and fell ill several times a year.
They didn't interfere much with matters in the mansion and the military camp, which suited the brother and sister's wishes.
If Li Yunhang was ignorant and wanted to interfere in the affairs of the military camp, then the mansion would not be as peaceful as it is now.
Li Baozhu pretended to be very happy and said: "Father, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time. I still miss him. I'll go with you."
Li Yunrui also said quickly: "Father, I'm going too. I want to tell my elder brother what happened in the military camp recently and ask him for advice."
Prince Liang laughed, "Let's go, let's go together and see what good things your elder brother wants to do with me."
When the three of them arrived, Princess Liang came over with several nuns and maids.
Li Yuhang was drinking tea and frowned slightly when he saw Li Yunrui and Li Baozhu coming over.
He stood up, cupped his hands towards Prince Liang and Princess Liang, and said calmly:
"Father, mother, concubine, I have fallen in love with a girl. Please make preparations and help me propose marriage. Remember to prepare a thicker betrothal gift."
The few people who just came in stayed where they were when they heard what he said.
In the past two years, Prince Liang and Princess Liang have found no less than ten girls for him. Regardless of family background, beauty and talent, they are all top-notch.
But he didn't even see them, and rejected them all, saying that he didn't want to get married, and didn't even bother to find a decent excuse.
I've been living in Zhuangzi for a while, but why have I fallen in love with a girl?
The happiest person here was Princess Liang. She walked up to her son and asked happily:
"Hang'er, who do you like? Who is the girl from? My mother-in-law will ask someone to recruit her for you."
Speaking of his beloved girl, Li Yunhang smiled a little, "It's Song Jingyan, the eldest lady of the Song family in Fengcheng."
When Princess Liang heard the name he said, she didn't react at first.
After remembering it, she looked at him blankly, "Hang'er, who are you talking about? Jingyan? Wasn't she married a long time ago?"
Li Yunhang nodded, "She is married, but she returned home with Li last year. Mother, please go and prepare the betrothal gift. I want to marry her as soon as possible."
