The Yu family and the Xuanyang Palace had a tacit understanding that whenever they met, they would almost always let the two of them be alone together.
Prince Xuanyang and his wife actually didn’t understand why, it was just what Guo Muhuai wanted.
The Yu family didn't mind, so they naturally didn't ask too many questions.
They could vaguely feel that this little kid from the Yu family was not an ordinary person.
Every time her son met her, he felt much better and his expression became clearer.
Now, apart from being quiet, Guo Muhuai is basically no different from an ordinary person.
This is enough for them.
Jiang Qingwan and Guo Muhuai were practicing in the house, while Princess Xuanyang and Yu Shulan were sitting outside talking.
"Is your eldest son getting married soon?"
Jiang Chuyuan and Ye Ronger have been engaged for almost a year. Jiang Chuyuan is not young anymore, so it’s time to put the marriage on the agenda.
"That's what we meant, but we don't know what the Ye family thinks. I was just about to send a matchmaker to ask them. It's time to finalize it."
Now that they have separated, I believe the Ye family will not object.
The two children love each other, so it would be good to settle down as soon as possible.
"Your Chu Yuan has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Chu Yuan has found a place to stay, but the Crown Prince is worried."
Princess Xuanyang's brows were tinged with worry. "Yesterday, the Queen summoned me to the palace, saying that she wanted to choose a concubine for the Crown Prince."
"But the Crown Prince seemed unwilling to do so and even had a quarrel with the Empress over this."
Princess Xuan Yang did not expect that the usually gentle prince would have such an impulsive side. She was a little dumbfounded at the time.
Hearing these words, Yu Shulan lowered her eyes. She already knew that the person the prince liked was her daughter Jiang Qingluo.
In the past, Jiang Qingluo and Song Yu were planning to get married, and no matter from which angle, he could only hide his feelings.
Now that he is no longer bound by an engagement, he might have that intention.
But the emperor and empress may not agree. After all, the status of the Yu family is too high now. If another empress appears, the emperor will inevitably think too much.
And their family has no intention of getting close to them.
Thinking of this, Yu Shulan frowned. The prince was a stubborn man, and according to Jiang Qingwan, he had already fallen deeply in love with Qingluo.
In his previous life, he never married because of her.
But she knew her daughter's personality very well and knew she was not suitable for the palace at all.
"Whose families does the Queen choose for the Crown Prince?"
Since the Queen asked Princess Xuanyang about this matter, she must have a candidate and wanted someone to help her with some advice.
"The Empress did choose a few people: the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Danyang, the second daughter of the Imperial Censor, and the daughter of the Minister of Justice."
The people Princess Xuanyang mentioned are indeed very suitable, with outstanding talents and looks, and are among the most noble ladies in the capital.
The identities are also very suitable.
"Of course the Queen's choice is correct."
Princess Xuanyang shook her head helplessly, "But what's the point of us being optimistic? If the Crown Prince doesn't want to, we can't force him to marry the Crown Princess."
"I hope the Crown Prince can understand the Queen's good intentions."
Yu Shulan sighed. The prince was also her relative, and she also hoped that he could be happy.
Don't go down the same path as in your previous life.
The person who tied the bell must untie it, and this matter probably requires Qingluo to untie the knot in the prince's heart.
As expected, within two days, the prince came to Yu Mansion and said he wanted to look for Jiang Chuyuan.
But he asked Jiang Qingluo if she was there before he said anything, saying he had something to tell her.
Jiang Chuyuan poured him a cup of tea and said, "Prince, please wait a moment. I will go and call my sister over."
After calling Jiang Qingluo, Jiang Chuyuan left the room. Although it was not reasonable, the two of them needed some space to be alone together.
Ever since Jiang Qingluo knew the prince's intentions, she has been deliberately avoiding him because she doesn't know how to face him.
In her heart, the prince has always had the same status as Jiang Chuyuan, and they are both brothers who love her very much.
She never thought about it in other ways, and she had no special feelings for the prince.
But her mother told her that the prince had deep feelings for her, and even if she didn't love him, she couldn't escape.
"Lolo, how have you been lately?"
Seeing that she lowered her head and remained silent, the prince spoke first.
"It's pretty good."
Ever since she broke off her engagement and stopped chasing after that man, she felt that the world had become wider.
She has a family that she loves and goals that she wants to work towards. She is now living completely for herself.
"That's good."
The prince whispered, "My mother wants to find me a princess."
"Then congratulations, Crown Prince. It's time for you to have a Crown Princess. Someone worthy of you must be a woman of both talent and beauty, and a virtuous and kind woman."
When the prince heard Jiang Qingluo's words, his heart ached.
He raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, "Lolo, look up at me."
Jiang Qingluo slowly raised his head and forced a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know that I like you?"
The prince was very smart and he clearly noticed that Jiang Qingluo's attitude towards him had changed.
He couldn't find any other excuse except discovering his feelings.
"Uh...I guessed it."
Jiang Qingluo nodded in acknowledgment, her cheeks flushed. Although she was very bold when pursuing Song Yu, she could also express her love in front of everyone without any hesitation.
But for the prince who was like a brother to her, she still found it difficult to face the fact that there was a relationship between them other than family affection.
Seeing her dodging like a quail, the prince sighed.
"Don't feel pressured. I came to you today just to hear your thoughts and to let go of all hope."
In fact, even if he didn't say it, the prince probably understood her feelings. She was a brave woman, and if she was interested in him, she would never be in this state now.
"Brother Crown Prince, you are a very good person. I am very grateful to you, but I only regard you as a brother and have never thought of marrying you."
Jiang Qingluo said slowly.
"Besides, you are the crown prince. If I become your concubine, I will be destined to stay in that palace forever. And you know what I like most is freedom."
"I know, that's why I don't want to force you."
The prince frowned. In fact, if he had been firm, his father would have issued an edict on his behalf to make Jiang Qingluo the crown princess.
By that time, Jiang Qingluo would have no choice but to marry him even if she didn't want to, but he didn't want that.
This is the girl he has taken care of since she was a child. He just wants to see her happy and can't bear to make her sad.
"Brother Crown Prince, you deserve a better woman. I am not worth your waiting. Go find your own happiness."
Now that Jiang Qingluo has found her goal, she no longer wants to get married.
"You are the best in my heart." The prince looked at her with eyes full of affection.
"But you're right. I should be more open-minded and find my own happiness."
