I've never seen anyone calculate this way, it's quite new.

Chu Yan laughed, "Girl, are you bargaining with me?"

"I dare not! But if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. My status is not equal to Jiang Ruwei's. Even if I want to persuade her, I don't even have the qualifications to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. Besides, as for the matter of Princess Mu Hui, I can never have a conversation with her on an equal footing, so it is very difficult. So just think of it as borrowing an identity from Your Majesty!" Su Bei said with a serious expression.

You know what, this girl always says shocking things, probably because she is very outspoken.

The corners of Chu Yan's lips curled up slightly, "Accurate!"

Chu Younan breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming out of the imperial study, Su Bei remained silent all the way until he got on the carriage. Ling Xiao then heard Su Bei complaining to Chu Younan: "Mu Hui's matter will never work out. Are we going to force her to break off the engagement? Since she likes me, why won't she say it? Forget it, Chu Younan, marrying you is too much trouble. I'm still fine being alone and free!"

Ling Xiao was shocked. The prince was deeply in love with Abei. It would be such a pity if they couldn't get married because of this!

What can he do? Su Bei was in a bad mood and moved into the backyard of the snack shop again. Chu Younan also moved in. Ling Xiao wandered in the yard for a long time and finally made up his mind to knock on Song Zhu's door.

The girl saw him knocking on the door, and said calmly, "Guard Ling, you are looking for me so late at night, is there something wrong?"

Ling Xiao stood at the door awkwardly and said, "Can I talk to you for a few words?"

"You wait." Song Zhu closed the door and went in. After a while, she opened the door. She did not invite Ling Xiao in, but walked out.

The courtyard was silent as the two men stood facing each other under the osmanthus tree.

"Ms. Song, I heard that you are engaged to Ling Ziyou?" Ling Xiao asked.

Song Zhu looked up and smiled helplessly, "Are you trying to lobby for the princess?"

As if his thoughts were seen through, Ling Xiao was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether to agree or deny.

Song Zhu waited for a while but got no reply, so he said to himself, "In fact, I didn't just notice it today. I occasionally saw the princess before, and every time she looked at my cousin, she was so happy and excited, so I had already noticed it. But my cousin has done me a favor, and I can't take the initiative to cancel his engagement, which would embarrass him."

Ling Xiao was shocked. "You've already figured it out? In that case, why don't we just part ways so that Ah Bei doesn't have to be so embarrassed."

"Abei? Why is she in such a dilemma?" Song Zhu looked puzzled.

This matter shouldn't have been told to her, but Ling Xiao made up his mind and pointed to the stone bench under the tree and said, "Miss, please sit down! Let me tell you in detail."

The summer breeze blew down some osmanthus flowers. Ling Xiao told her about Su Bei's three tests, and also mentioned a few things about Chu Younan and Su Bei, expressing his deep regret that the two could not get married.

Song Zhu was quite shocked, and after a long while he said, "But Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't say it clearly. If I cancel my cousin's engagement, and she refuses to marry me, then won't my cousin be laughed at by others?"

"Are you willing to break off the engagement with him?!" Ling Xiao was extremely surprised and smiled.

His heroic face seemed a little softer because of this smile, not as cold and hard as before.

Song Zhu chuckled, "I just wanted to repay a favor. If he can be my consort, why wouldn't I agree?"

Sweet osmanthus flowers were falling, and two of them were stuck to the girl's hair, making her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Ling Xiao suddenly lowered his head, his ears slightly red, "If that's the case, I'll thank the young lady on behalf of Ah Bei first. Once she is sure of the princess's intention, if the princess is willing to take him as her consort, then please..."

"Wait..." Song Zhu said solemnly, "We can't just look at the princess's feelings. Don't we have to ask my cousin if he agrees?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Xiao responded repeatedly, "Thank you, young lady!"

Tonight, the osmanthus smells sweet.

On the way to court the next day, Ling Xiao told Chu Younan about this matter. Chu Younan suddenly got an unexpected surprise and patted him on the shoulder twice, "You kid! It's really beyond my expectation!"

"I have been looking forward to the prince marrying Ah Bei, but I can't think of any good way, so I can only ask directly."

Ling Xiao seemed calm on the surface, but Chu Younan actually heard him secretly complaining: If Song Zhufei is not happy, he would take the risk to flirt with the girl and then marry her!

Chu Younan glanced sideways, it was true that a marriage destined by heaven could not be broken up. Anyway, Ling Xiao and Song Zhu’s relationship was set in stone.

After the court was dismissed, Wang Zhuo and Chu Younan went together, and an imperial edict was read out at the Nanbei Dim Sum Shop.

The girls in the snack shop were all excited. Their girl Abei was named the Princess of Huicheng. She was a role model for common women! Wang Zhuo handed the imperial edict to Su Bei and said with a smile, "Princess, don't underestimate this third-rank position. You are a princess with a fiefdom. His Majesty has also personally granted you a mansion. This standard is comparable to that of a first-rank position!"

"No, no, thank you so much!" Su Bei chuckled, "It's just that the threshold of Prince Su's Mansion is high, even a third-rank official can't get in. I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night!"

As she spoke, she stuffed a few silver ingots that she had prepared earlier into Wang Zhuo's hands.

Wang Zhuo smiled faintly, "My princess, you are joking. You look so radiant, you don't look like you haven't slept at all. From now on, everything will go smoothly."

"Thank you for your good words!"

After sending Wang Zhuo away, Su Bei stood in front of Chu Younan with her chest and head held high, and said with her chin raised: "My princess is now in a good position, and suddenly I don't want to marry you so much!"

Chu Younan naturally knew that she was just talking nonsense, but he still smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's not you who is pushing me. I want to marry you."

"It's good that you know!" Su Bei rolled his eyes at him. "My life is miserable enough. I have to risk my life, be a matchmaker, and treat depression. If we talk about who has the highest threshold, it must be Su Wang Chu Younan!"

"Don't worry." Chu Younan raised his eyebrows at her. "Wait, I'll take care of it right away!"

Having said that, he turned and walked out, heading towards the next shop.

He solved it? He was able to solve it after just a nap? Su Bei was puzzled.

In the deserted shop, Ling Ziyou, Zhang Ganzhu and Xiao Han sat separately, no one talking to each other. Ling Ziyou was making a hairy monkey, Zhang Ganzhu was reading a medical book, and Xiao Han seemed to be fiddling with some medicine powder.

The three of them stood up and saluted when they saw him. Chu Younan nodded and said, "Ling Ziyou, I want to have a private conversation with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ganzhu and Xiao Han hurriedly stood up and avoided it.

Chu Younan sat down at the table and glanced at the monkey that Ling Ziyou was making. It was a lifelike scene of the wedding chamber with the groom lifting the veil.

He said in a deep voice: "Ling Ziyou, I want to ask you, what do you think of Mu Hui?"
