The good marriage that the queen had been looking forward to for a long time was ruthlessly ended by the prince. The queen was extremely depressed and glared at the prince. After he turned away, she sat back in her chair weakly.

The youngest son doesn't even have a woman by his side now. He doesn't want any of them, whether they are his principal wife or concubine. The eldest son's principal wife position is also vacant. Even though one cannot bear to blame her because Yan Yiming died saving the prince, the prince is now pushing away such a noble princess. How can this be?

Although I found the princess to be cheerful and easy to talk to during my chat with her just now, I wonder if the Princess Lin'an will feel resentful because of the prince's decisive refusal, and cause His Majesty to blame the prince.

The queen was worried, but the prince did not explain too much to her. He just said, "Don't worry, mother," and strode away.

Except for those who are really brainless or don't care about their lives, no one dares to take the Princess Lin'an for the time being. However, for the queen mother who doesn't care about state affairs, the twists and turns are too complicated. It's the willful reasons that convince her and make her helpless.

In the East Palace, Jiang Yi sat in the prince's study and sipped tea leisurely. The fragrance was elegant and fresh. It was the first tea of ​​early March, the Qingming Biluochun.

I heard that the prince didn't like Biluochun at first, but since the Crown Princess passed away, he only drinks the Crown Princess' favorite tea.

Jiang Yi didn't change his taste later like the prince, but he liked this tea from the beginning, or was more accustomed to it. He met A Ming when he was still a child who didn't know how to appreciate tea. From then on, he followed her preferences in clothing and food. She liked Biluochun, so he also liked it naturally. In fact, he had never even tasted any other tea.

Now, seven years have passed and it has become a habit.

When Nangong Xuan returned to the East Palace, Jiang Yi had just finished sipping a cup. Nangong Xuan signaled that there was no need to be polite and told the maid to go out and not to disturb him.

Jiang Yi casually poured a cup and handed it to Nangong Xuan, "It seems that the Queen has indeed asked Your Highness to meet Princess Lin'an."

Nangong Xuan hummed helplessly and said, "My mother still thinks this matter is too simple."

The status of Prince Jiangxia was so high that the identity of Princess Lin'an pales in comparison to the noble ladies in the capital. Prince Jiangxia also promoted the idea of ​​marrying off his daughter, so naturally some people would be tempted to make a move.

Nangong Xuan was most worried that the Queen would also have to get involved in this flood, but as expected, Princess Lin'an took action on the first day after arriving in Beijing.

Nangong Xuan understood the queen's good intentions, but she did not comprehend the changes in the court and the emperor's thoughts.

No matter how powerful the Prince of Jiangxia was, he was more of a threat to the emperor. The fact that the emperor had never taken the initiative to mention the marriage between Princess Lin'an and any of the princes was enough to show the emperor's attitude.

Whether King Jiangxia is actively seeking peace and really marrying his daughter off or has other purposes, everything is still shrouded in mystery. Therefore, before everything is confirmed, Nangong Xuan will not have any relationship with the Princess Lin'an. The right thing to do is to find a way to temporarily avoid her.

Jiang Yi saw the uncontrollable unhappiness on Nangong Xuan's face, and smiled and said, "Your Highness's affection for the Crown Princess is still touching. It is even better that you can take this opportunity to reject Princess Lin'an. His Majesty will not argue with Your Highness too much for the Crown Princess's sake. However, since you have already gotten out of this matter, why is Your Highness still so angry?"

The person who could discuss these private matters with Nangong Xuan was Jian Yuyan. However, four years ago, Jian Yuyan became decadent and left the court because of an actor. Nangong Xuan had repeatedly advised him and even scolded him for not doing his job for a woman. Jian Yuyan looked at Nangong Xuan coldly and said, "If it was the Crown Princess..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nangong Xuan, who asked how could a mere actor be compared with the Crown Princess.

So the two of them parted unhappily. Later, Nangong Xuan regretted that he had spoken too impulsively that day. After all, that person was the apple of Jian Yuyan's eye no matter what. But he also felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. An actor had a low status, and comparing her with the Crown Princess was an insult.

Afterwards, Jian Yuyan completely resigned from his official position, and spent his days painting and reading as if he had become an idle person. It was said that Prime Minister Jian was so angry that he even used family rules but failed to make him change his mind. Nangong Xuan finally gave up the idea of ​​bringing Jian Yuyan back to the right path.

Later, he became familiar with Jiang Yi. Compared with Jian Yuyan, although they did not grow up together, Jiang Yi was the person he admired most. Although he was young, he was knowledgeable and talented. Nangong Xuan even praised him for his talent. Later, seeing that he had not married for many years, he praised him for being a rare and loyal person like himself, so he admired him even more.

Now, several years have passed, and Nangong Xuan and Jiang Yi, the king and the minister, have become as harmonious as friends. Apart from court affairs, they often talk about other things.

Nangong Xuan had been so angry about Yan Yiming that he had been holding it in until now. Now that Jiang Yi mentioned it, his handsome face was instantly filled with anger as he said, "I have never seen such a shameless woman who doesn't know her place in society. She only has a red mole at the end of her eye and she wants to compare herself with the Crown Princess. How despicable!"

Jiang Yi was a little dazed when the word "red mole" was suddenly mentioned.

He had seen Princess Lin'an, and had also heard that the Crown Princess had a red mole at the corner of her eye, but he didn't care about these. He just remembered that person, who also had a red mole at the corner of his eye.

What a sad coincidence, exactly the same location, exactly the same features, and yes, exactly the same preference, both like Biluochun.

I don’t know whether Princess Lin’an likes Biluochun.

Jiang Yi sighed inaudibly, took another sip of tea and found that it had already cooled down. He put the cup on the table as if he had never recalled those memories. He continued the prince's words, his handsome eyebrows and eyes seemed to have a hint of ridicule as he chuckled, "It's rare to see His Highness so angry. It seems that the princess did say something terrible."

Nangong Xuan then told Jiang Yi what he had said during his meeting with Yan Yiming today. Perhaps it was because of his personal emotions, his description of Yan Yiming was even more confusing than the actual scene at that time.

Jiang Yi was slightly surprised after hearing this. If he had not really met Princess Lin'an, he would have thought that Princess Lin'an was as brainless and shameless as the prince said.

Jiang Yi had only known Princess Lin'an for more than ten days, and they had only spoken a few words to each other. He discovered that Princess Lin'an did not like to be served by anyone, and she had not spoken a few words to Lord Wei who came with her. This showed that she was a taciturn and serious person.

Jiang Yi had never seen the female general that was mentioned in the legend many years ago, but when he saw the indifferent yet oppressive eyes of Princess Lin'an, he thought that the female general should look like this.

At that time, Jiang Yi just thought that this Princess Lin'an had probably led troops under King Jiangxia. Otherwise, how could she have such an unconcealable murderous aura?

But His Highness said that she was very talkative and even took the initiative to compare herself to the future Crown Princess. Could it be that she really admires the Crown Prince and is so proactive?

It’s not that he was saying anything bad about the prince, but Jiang Yi couldn’t match Princess Lin’an with the person the prince mentioned.

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy; when a person is acting out of his normal state, there must be something fishy. Princess Lin'an must have other reasons for being so proactive, perhaps she is trying to cover up something, or perhaps she has some other purpose.

Or maybe, she had deliberately led the topic to the Crown Princess step by step, and had deliberately said such things to anger the Crown Prince, and her ultimate goal was the current situation - to reject this marriage.

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

She was well aware of the taboos between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince, and took the initiative to lure the Crown Prince into her trap. In the end, she achieved her goal without making a fuss and even put the blame on the Crown Prince. If this was true, the Crown Prince would have suffered a loss right away. This Princess Lin'an was really not a simple person.

Jiang Yi glanced at Nangong Xuan, who was still furious, and did not say these words.

Now everything is just speculation. If it is really as he guessed, after this incident, Princess Lin'an will definitely take advantage of the Queen's guilt to stay in the capital instead of rebelling against Guangdong and Guangxi after being rejected by the "deeply in love" prince.

If it is really what he thought, then the person that Princess Lin'an contacted later must be the real purpose of her trip to Beijing this time.

Jiang Yi couldn't confirm whether he was the eldest prince or the third prince.

But it doesn’t matter, after a long time, everything will be exposed.

He is not in a hurry at all.
