Su'er left the palace and returned home, then went to Prince Jingnan.

Prince Jingnan's leg injury was serious, so he is still in bed.

"Father, although my husband said that I should handle this matter completely, I still think I need to discuss it with you." Su'er said as she poured him a cup of tea.

Prince Jingnan waved his hand and said, "You can make the decisions about all matters in the palace."

Su Er nodded, "That's fine, since father said so, I'll make the decision. I think Miss Ruan Qingyue from the Ruan family is pretty good."

Prince Jingnan was a little puzzled, "This matter... you decide for yourself..."

He was quite puzzled. Su'er and Cheng Shi seemed to have a good relationship, but she actually took the initiative to give Cheng Shi a concubine? Su'er was also quite puzzled. Su Bei said that he wanted to match King Jingnan and the princess, but King Jingnan didn't seem to have any interest in the princess. How could he let her handle such a big matter on her own? "Then... I will prepare to go to the Ruan family to propose marriage?" Su'er probed.

"Propose a marriage? Propose a marriage for a concubine?" King Jingnan was even more puzzled. He looked at Su'er as if she were a fool.

Isn't she too virtuous? Isn't she afraid that her concubines will overwhelm her in the future?

"Take a concubine? But I'm afraid Miss Ruan will not agree..." Su'er was very surprised. No wonder King Jingnan gave her full authority. It turned out that he had no plan to get married, but just wanted to take a concubine.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. But do you have to have her?" Prince Jingnan frowned.

Oh, it seems that he is not so satisfied with Ruan Qingyue either.

"Then I'll look at someone else. Actually, there are many girls coming to the mansion recently. I think Ruan Qingyue is the best." Su'er was a little unwilling to give up. Finding a stepmother for yourself is not a trivial matter. If you don't find a good one, it will cause trouble for yourself.

King Jingnan agreed.

Su'er returned to her own yard.

Coincidentally, Bei Danzhu came to visit her again.

As soon as they met, Bei Danzhu knew that Su'er had a crush on Ruan Qingyue, which was exactly what she wanted. After a few pleasantries, Bei Danzhu got to the point.

"Princess, I'll tell you a secret." Bei Danzhu said mysteriously, "After returning that day, Qingyue told me that she has always admired the reputation of King Jingnan."

After that, she also warned: "Don't tell anyone else about this, otherwise she will be too embarrassed to see anyone."

"This is a bit difficult..." Su'er frowned slightly.

Bei Danzhu heard all her thoughts.

Prince Jingnan was not very satisfied with Ruan Qingyue, but Bei Danzhu could not be friends with every girl in the capital, so she was determined to send Ruan Qingyue to Prince Jingnan's palace.

Outsiders did not know about their private discussions, but that did not stop Bei Danzhu from leaking the news.

"Prince Jingnan is considering remarrying, and seems to be interested in Ruan Qingyue." She asked someone to spread the message.

As the news spread, it began to change.

"Prince Jingnan and Ruan Qingyue are interested in each other, so good things will happen."

"Prince Jingnan was injured because he saved Ruan Qingyue. Ruan Qingyue planned to marry him, and the two of them have already decided to spend their lives together."

"The Jingnan Palace is already preparing the betrothal gifts and is just waiting for a good day to propose marriage to the Ruan family."

What was originally a vague thing became a foregone conclusion after being spread for three days.

Prince Jingnan was recuperating in the backyard and was unaware of the rumors outside, but this did not prevent the news from spreading to the Princess's Mansion.

Chu Ruzhi had been accompanying the ancient Buddha with a lonely lamp for more than ten years as King of Jingnan. When he suddenly heard the news, he was like a bolt from the blue.

Thinking back to when Su Bei came to visit her two days ago and tried to test her feelings towards Prince Jingnan in his words, she seemed to understand something.

Su Bei must have known some inside information, so he wanted to test her. She should have explained this to Su Bei at that time, and it would have been best to let the emperor grant the marriage!

But that day she was so stubborn that she insisted that she had no interest in Prince Jingnan...

Now that’s good, Prince Jingnan is going to propose marriage soon!

Chu Ruzhi was like an ant on the hot pan when she was struck by a bolt from the blue. When she was strolling in her house, she heard two little maids chatting.

"Have you heard? The day when Prince Jingnan proposes marriage is in three days."

"I also heard that the Crown Prince's Consort has been shopping for betrothal gifts recently!"

"Ah! What's wrong with Prince Jingnan? The eldest princess is of the same age as him and looks suitable for him. Why does he fall for Ruan Qingyue?"

"Yes, I have seen the young lady of the Ruan family. I think she is inferior to the eldest princess in every way. Prince Jingnan really needs to get treatment for his eyes!"

Although Chu Ruzhi was angry, he was also happy that the people in the mansion were on his side.

She simply changed out of her monk's robes and put on ordinary clothes to enter the palace.

She was going to look for Chu Younan today with a thick face. King Jingnan said that he would never marry, so he had to fulfill his promise! The carriage was on the road and suddenly stopped.

"The Nanbei Jewelry Store up ahead is having a sale, so there are a lot of people. Let's take a detour," said the driver.

Chu Ruzhi nodded.

But when the carriage turned around, she heard people chatting outside.

"Look, people are not talking nonsense. I just saw the Princess of Jingnan enter the jewelry shop. She must be going to buy betrothal gifts!" The voice belonged to Bei Danzhu.

Ruan Qingyue's voice was very low, "What are you talking about? People outside are spreading rumors, and you are following suit!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Just wait patiently. It won't take more than a few days."

Bei Danzhu was very confident because she had just listened to Su'er's inner voice. These rumors could not be stopped and the Jingnan Palace was really planning to take action.

It will only be a few days later.

Chu Ruzhi in the carriage was almost furious. Prince Jingnan had said in public that he would never marry. If he really married, where would she put her face?

"Princess, this road is not congested, we will be able to enter the palace soon..."

"Not going into the palace! Let's go to Prince Jingnan's Mansion!" Chu Ruzhi said angrily.

She is going to meet King Jingnan today! Outside the carriage, Bei Danzhu heard her voice, and then looked at her carriage, and knew who was in the carriage.

As soon as Bei Danzhu heard her thoughts, his eyes widened immediately.

It was this old woman again! She was going to ruin her plan again! She had to use some tricks! "Qingyue, let's go this way!" Bei Danzhu led her to a secluded alley.

As she walked, she whispered instructions to the maid beside her.

In less than a moment, Ruan Qingyue was kidnapped by the masked man. Bei Danzhu then said calmly: "Go find Zipin. I'll wait for her at the Jingnan Palace. Just say that Ruan Qingyue was kidnapped. I watched her enter the Jingnan Palace!"

Seeing that the rice was about to be cooked, she had to add some firewood. Even if the rice was burnt, it had to be burnt in Prince Jingnan's Palace!

Ruan Qingyue was of course very confused, but Prince Jingnan was even more confused than her.

He was just basking in the sun in the yard when a girl fell from the sky and happened to hit him. His leg, which had just healed a little, now hurt as if it was broken.

That was nothing. Why did Chu Ruzhi come in at this time and look at him angrily? !
