Yan Jinhua was wrong!
Shen Mingye was the prince of the current dynasty, and was forced by his mother to cultivate relationships with dozens of noble ladies. He had seen all kinds of tricks.
Pretend to be cute, pretend to be aloof, outgoing, introverted, lively, beautiful, kind...
He has seen all kinds of things.
When those people came in front of him, most of them were pretending, but he could see through it early on, and none of them were sincere.
Except...
Meng Yixuan!
When she saw him, her heart beat faster, her eyes were weak, her face was red, and even her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling slightly.
She could be happy for several days if she could say a few words to him.
besides……
She never dared to look at him.
There is never a shortage of beauties of all kinds in the palace, but what these few lack is sincerity.
Shen Mingye put his hands behind his back, bent down and looked at Meng Yixuan with a smile: "You came to the palace to see your mother a few days ago, and you said you were not feeling well and did not go to the Spring Banquet. Why are you here again today?"
I don't know if it was Meng Yixuan's misunderstanding, but she seemed to hear a bit of grievance in the prince's tone?
The girl looked up with wide eyes, looking at the prince who was a head taller than her in slight surprise, her heart almost beating out of her chest.
No, no, no, no...impossible, right?
Madam, Madam... Your Highness the Crown Prince... Do you like her?
impossible!
She choked on her own saliva and coughed violently, and everyone present looked over.
The prince patted Meng Yixuan's back and looked at her intently: "Did Gu scare you? Does Gu like you and make you so...scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid!"
Meng Yixuan explained while coughing: "I'm just too surprised. I...no...my daughter...my daughter also likes His Highness, I like him very much, I really like him very much!"
He was her dream, a dream that she thought would never be possible.
"Who is that?"
Why did an unexpectedly unpopular princess appear halfway?
"She seems to be the legitimate daughter of General Feilong. She performed a sword dance at last year's New Year's banquet and was praised by the emperor for being like her father."
"She! How do I remember that her mother used to be the personal maid of the Queen of Heaven? Can she also be a crown princess with such a lowly status?"
"It can't be said that Mrs. Meng's natal family has a younger brother who won the imperial examination and is already an official in the court. She is just a song played outside. She is also considered an official lady. You can't just think that she was the empress of heaven. As a maid, you feel that she can only be a maid for the rest of her life, and the children she gives birth to can only be slaves, right?"
"Meng Qingyu was not well-off before he got married! I think the most respected female official around the Queen of Heaven is worthy of General Feilong. Don't just scold others just because of jealousy, okay?"
Despicable?
At that time, Magpie was already a first-class royal wife, Meng Qingyu was also a general, and Meng Yixuan's family background was not low.
"Crown Princess? Isn't the Crown Princess Yan Qingqing from the Yan family? Where is Yan Qingqing?"
"Huh? Yes! Why didn't Yan Qingqing come?"
Everyone then looked around, and after confirming that they really did not see Yan Qingqing, many people came up with a conspiracy theory about the two sisters competing for the position of crown princess.
With a faint smile on Jiang Xinyue's lips, she watched her son hold Yu Ruyi, which represented the Crown Princess, to Meng Yixuan with both hands. Her smile grew bigger and bigger, and she couldn't hold it back no matter what.
Girl Yixuan has a kind heart and a gentle temperament, especially her whole heart is attached to the prince, which is the most rare thing.
She doesn't engage in arranged marriages. Who the children will live with in the future is the children's business.
"How is it possible? How could Meng Yixuan be the crown princess?"
"Why does she have it? What qualifications does she have to be a crown princess?"
Shen Mingye didn't care about that. He took Meng Yixuan and walked to Jiang Xinyue: "Mother, I would like to thank my mother for the marriage."
This brat!
No wonder there is a saying in later generations that you forget your mother after you marry your daughter-in-law.
This brat is a typical example. Before they got married, he helped his wife come to her mother to ask for a reward.
Jiang Xinyue gave him an angry look and took off a priceless purple jade bracelet from her wrist: "The emperor put this on me personally when I ascended the throne of phoenix, and now I give it to you. I hope you and Prince Qin Se will grow old together and be tolerant and considerate of each other throughout your life, and go hand in hand."
She said that she wanted Meng Yixuan and the prince to go hand in hand, because she hoped that after Meng Yixuan became the prince, she would not be immersed in the harem battles, but would use this position to exert her true power.
In this life, a woman does not need to be limited to a man's love. Only when she has value can her time be considered wasted.
Meng Yixuan was just shy, not stupid. She had been influenced by Jiang Xinyue in the palace since she was a child, and she immediately understood what Jiang Xinyue meant.
"Mother Xuan will obey the Queen Mother's will."
The bracelet is warm and moist to the touch, full of moisture, without any impurities. It has reached the level of imperial purple, so it is considered to be the best quality.
The Queen of Heaven just gave it to Meng Yixuan. Was she very satisfied with her daughter-in-law?
At night——
The entire royal garden fell into silence, but a low muffled sound came from the servants' room.
Yan Jinhua endured the pain in her body, but her mind was running rapidly.
The prince chose the princess, which did not surprise her.
But the choice of the Crown Princess surprised her very much.
Where did Meng Yixuan come from?
Wasn't there a rumor that the Crown Princess was Yan Qingqing?
If so, she would have to change her plan.
On the next day, a group of noble ladies who had been rejected from the position of crown princess went to Jiang Xinyue to be chosen by the third prince, the west prince, and the fifth prince.
but……
Neither the Third Prince nor the Fifth Prince came, only the West Prince. Compared to the "brothers working together" yesterday, he was the only one standing there "barely" today.
Jiang Xinyue did not expect this situation: "Where are the third prince and the fifth prince?"
Shuangjiang whispered a few words in her ear, and Jiang Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "If they don't want to choose a concubine now, I won't force them, but you send someone to pass the message, as long as they agree with which family If the girl is in love, she must tell me that regardless of status, as long as they are happy, I will marry them. "
After hearing this, Prince Xi's eyes lit up: "Mother, I have no intention of marrying a concubine now, why don't you wait a little longer?"
He twirled his fingers and carefully looked at Jiang Xinyue's expression, fearing that she would feel unhappy or impatient.
"That's it...then let's all disperse!"
Jiang Xinyue waved her hand and smiled at the Western Prince: "Actually, my mother also thinks that such a blind marriage is not good. None of you are willing to get married. You have to tell your father yourself."
"My son knows, thank you very much, Queen Mother."
He didn't want to build a prince's palace, nor did he want to be crowned a king, nor did he want to leave the capital to become a fiefdom. He just wanted to be with his mother, his younger brother, his seventh brother, and his third sister.
This is the happiness he understands.
