The murderous look in Lu Yuan’s eyes finally dissipated, but he asked sowhat puzzled, "Why are you looking for a prince consort for her?"
"Because..."
ng Qianqian’s eyes darted around.
Stop.
I can’t talk about the imperial examination results yet. If things don’t go as planned, it would be a wasted excitent. If it works out, I can give him a surprise later.
"I know,"
Lu Yuan said coldly.
ng Qianqian was taken aback.
What do you know? Do you really know?
Lu Yuan said, "I didn’t expect you to care so much."
Upon hearing this, ng Qianqian realized he was overthinking again.
ng Qianqian smiled slightly, "Yes, I definitely care... I have to care! I can’t allow any woman to set her sights on my husband! I’ve decided to find this prince consort!"
After calmly speaking, ng Qianqian felt her flattery skills had reached perfection.
No, it should be said they had reached the pinnacle.
Lu Yuan coolly humd in agreent.
ng Qianqian breathed a silent sigh of relief and said to him, "So what do you think? Should I go to the autumn hunt, catch Luo San, and find a prince consort, killing two birds with one stone?"
Lu Yuan said coldly, "I’m afraid you’ll mistake Luo San for the prince consort and give him to Princess Wanping."
ng Qianqian frowned, "Am I that blind?"
Lu Yuan said, "Luo San is extrely good at deception. You haven’t dealt with him before, so it’s hard to see through his tricks."
Alright, ng Qianqian dared not be overconfident in this matter.
ng Qianqian then asked, "But how do you know he will definitely go to the autumn hunt?"
Lu Yuan looked at the fallen leaves in the courtyard and said slowly, "Last ti he failed, and the Ministry of Justice has unearthed so much evidence. Luo San is probably more anxious than anyone, and it’s not just us hunting during the autumn hunt; Luo San is a target too. If he can’t solve our problem, he can only let the Xun Family deal with him."
ng Qianqian found this reasonable: "So you’re saying..."
"We’ll go together,"
Lu Yuan said.
ng Qianqian’s expression relaxed.
She almost thought he would say he’d catch Luo San while she went to find a prince consort, but luckily he wasn’t that crazy.
Bai Yuwei ca up and said, "You’re all leaving, what about ? I don’t care! I want to go too! Grandfather said you both are to take care of , you can’t leave behind!"
An adorable pig charm dangled from her leg.
Bao Shu let go of her chubby hand, got off her leg, tugged at ng Qianqian’s hand, and looked up cutely, "Baby, go too!"
ng Qianqian patted Bao Shu’s head and looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan said to Bai Yuwei, "You have to listen to your sister-in-law."
"Fine, I’ll listen!"
Bai Yuwei agreed readily.
She had learned a thing or two about the cunning nature of people from the Central Plains, deciding to go first, then worry later.
What Bai Yuwei didn’t know was that there was a saying in the Central Plains: "As the Dao increases a foot, the devil increases by a yard."
That’s right, ng Qianqian was the devil.
Lu Yuan suddenly changed the subject, "I still think it’s inappropriate to take you."
Bai Yuwei got flustered, "Why!"
ng Qianqian instantly understood Lu Yuan’s intention; he was playing the bad guy to give her the chance to play the good guy.
ng Qianqian pretended to persuade, "Let’s take little sister along. She’s been cooped up at the mansion for quite so ti and needs to get out and relax."
Lu Yuan said, "What if she causes trouble again..."
ng Qianqian laughed, "She won’t. Little sister has matured a lot. Last ti, Bao Shu was saved thanks to her, right, little sister?"
Bai Yuwei said self-righteously, "Exactly! You didn’t see how well sister-in-law and I cooperated!"
Calling her sister-in-law now, isn’t she?
ng Qianqian suppressed a smile and continued to "persuade" Lu Yuan for quite a while.
Lu Yuan finally relented, "You’re the one taking her along, so if sothing happens, you take responsibility."
ng Qianqian said, "Alright, alright, I’ll take responsibility. And what about Zhaozhao?"
Lu Yuan said, "Bring him along. Leaving him here would just add to the ho’s troubles."
Treasure Piggy huffed and gave him a little punch.
You’re the trouble!
Your whole family is trouble!
Uh... seems like I insulted myself...
"When shall we leave?"
ng Qianqian asked.
Lu Yuan said, "In the next few days."
During this morning’s court session, the two most important topics were the progress of the Chu Family case and the schedule for the autumn hunt.
The autumn hunt was managed by the Ministry of War, and the Royal Hunting Ground was in full preparation mode.
After all, this was the first autumn hunt since Zong Zhengxi ascended the throne, and after defeating Beiliang and recapturing the Western Regions, it was the first chance to showcase the empire’s military strength to the citizens under the Emperor’s rule. There could be no room for error.
ng Qianqian found Yu Li and told him they would go to the autumn hunt in a few days.
Yu Li said considerately, "You and your brother-in-law are both going? Then I’ll move back to stay. I’ll accompany our great-grandmother."
ng Qianqian smiled gently, "Thank you, cousin."
Yu Li sheepishly pinched the scroll in his hand, "What are you thanking for? I’ve always troubled my cousin for taking care of in the Capital City, and the old lady takes good care of too. Go ahead, you and your brother-in-law. I’ll take good care of great-grandmother."
After speaking, he noticed his cousin staring at him intently, as if she could see right through him, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Cousin, why are you looking at like that?"
ng Qianqian sighed, "Forget it, cousin is still young, focus on your studies."
Yu Li listened, baffled.
ng Qianqian reviewed in her mind all the unmarried n she knew, realizing there weren’t many suitable ones: "It’s indeed hard! Back then, I focused on building connections with the ladies and forgot to et more young gentlen from the noble families!"
There were no sons in the Wang Family, the Lin Family’s son was about the sa age as her cousin, the Xing Family’s eldest son was married, the second son was engaged, and the third son was still clueless. As for other families, she wasn’t very familiar with them.
Princess Wanping was the Supre Emperor’s only legitimate daughter, and other princesses were simply appointed marriage partners, yet Princess Wanping remained unmarried into her late twenties. Does that not indicate the seriousness of the situation?
ng Qianqian bumped her head onto the table.
Finding a prince consort for Princess Wanping is harder than fighting a battle...
"Didn’t Chen Long remain unmarried? You’re not satisfied with his engagent to the Changning Marquis Mansion. Let him marry Wanping, killing two birds with one stone."
Lu Yuan’s voice suddenly sounded above ng Qianqian’s head.
ng Qianqian raised her head seriously, "I see you’re just jealous of Chen Long and want to send him away quickly."
Lu Yuan snorted coldly.
ng Qianqian understood her brother well; with his major vendetta unavenged, he wouldn’t consider marriage.
Moreover, since he was now the Pri Minister’s adopted son, the Supre Emperor would surely be out of his mind to marry his daughter into the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
If she dared to propose such a thing, the Supre Emperor would decapitate her on the spot.
Of course, she understood Lu Yuan was rely teasing her. If he truly wanted to match the two, he would have acted long ago.
"Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten those two?"
ng Qianqian thought quickly, a flash of inspiration ca, and she stood up brightly, tiptoed, and kissed Lu Yuan’s cheek, "Thank you for reminding , my husband! I’m going out!"
Lu Yuan’s cheeks burned bright, his nose filled with her fragrance, lost in thought for a long ti.
Two quarters of an hour later, ng Qianqian sat in Ji Li’s room, smiling at the two exceptionally handso young n across from her.
"You two aren’t married yet, are you?"
