Ye Jingyan was also present when Ji Huaisi was talking about these things. She didn't say anything, but occasionally she would look at him with a strange look.
"Do you like him?" Ye Jingchen asked Ye Jingyan after Ji Huaisi left.
Ye Jingyan thought for a moment and said, "I don't dislike it."
“If you just don’t dislike them, there’s no need to rush into a decision. Although your father hopes you can get married soon, he won’t just arrange a marriage for you two,” Ye Jingchen advised.
"It's okay, I still quite like the feeling of protecting him."
“I think he’s a bit like me in the past,” Ye Jingyan said with a smile.
picture?
Where does it resemble?
When Ye Jingchen recalled Ye Jingyan's childhood, he only remembered that she was very timid and cried a lot.
Does Ji Huaisi, a grown man, also like to cry and whine?
Seeing Ye Jingchen's strange expression, Ye Jingyan knew he had misunderstood.
"When I said 'like,' I meant that he was out of place in his surroundings," Ye Jingyan explained.
“He’s an honest man, and his parents are honest men too. They both like me a lot and are somewhat dependent on me, which is great. There aren’t any families like that among the noble families in the capital,” Ye Jingyan said.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ye Jingchen didn't say anything more.
Since Ye Jingyan is willing, let's give it a try. If she doesn't like it in the end, we can always get a divorce.
Could his sister really be bound by a marriage contract?
The Ji family won over the emperor with their sincerity, and in the end, the emperor agreed to the marriage.
The wedding was held at the princess's residence in the imperial city. After the marriage, Ye Jingyan would go to Yongzhou with them, but the emperor required that she stay in the imperial city for at least three months every year.
The Ji family readily agreed.
Business in Yongzhou is thriving, and many girls' schools have been opened. Someone needs to be there to oversee things. Even without this marriage, Ye Jingyan had planned to return to Yongzhou after the New Year.
No one expected that the timid, delicate, and beautiful little girl would grow up to fall in love with the rugged Yongzhou.
Ji Wushuang has always been in charge of Ye Jingyu's marriage.
After she revealed her intention to choose a prince consort for Ye Jingyu, the entire imperial city, and even the noble families and nobles of the entire Dayuan, were all fascinated by Ye Jingyu, and the number of portraits of noble ladies sent to Ji Wushuang was so great that it could overwhelm her.
Ji Wushuang realized that she had suffered from being too love-struck when she was young, ignoring her family's objections and plunging headlong into the deep palace. Now, she was naturally very careful in choosing a prince consort for Ye Jingyu.
She used the Ji family's intelligence network to investigate information about these noble ladies from three generations, conducting an investigation even more thoroughly than the emperor had done before.
After a thorough investigation, it was found that all of these candidates had various problems, and none of them were suitable.
Although she was anxious, she adhered to the principle of "better to have none than a bad one" and did not lower her standards for choosing a daughter-in-law at all.
But before she could find someone she liked, Ye Jingyu had already met a suitor.
That girl was a friend of Ye Jingyan's; they met while they were gossiping together.
After getting to know each other, they discovered that their interests were highly compatible. They both enjoyed reading storybooks, gossiping, and listening to operas, and they also liked to admire handsome men. Before long, they became good friends.
One day, two young girls agreed to meet at a teahouse opposite the government office to listen to a storyteller.
Sitting in a private room on the second floor facing the street, you can listen to storytelling while watching pedestrians pass by through the window.
Just then, Ye Jingming, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Jingyu passed by the window together. Ye Jingyan leaned against the window to greet her three brothers. When the three looked up, the little girl was hit by a triple beauty attack and was immediately stunned.
All three princes were very handsome and had distinctive features.
Ye Jingming is mature and steady, Ye Jingyu is gentle and refined, but Ye Jingyu's smile is the most beautiful when he sees Ye Jingyan.
The little girl's heart was pounding as she was captivated by Ye Jingyu's smile.
The young girl had previously known Ye Jingyan only because they shared similar interests. She had never inquired about Ye Jingyan's identity, nor had she revealed her own. However, after taking a liking to Ye Jingyu at first sight, the young girl introduced herself.
The girl's surname was Lin and her given name was Ruochu. She said that although her family was not a wealthy or noble family and no one in her family held official positions in the government, they were still quite well-off and had no worries about food and drink.
Ye Jingyan did not reveal her princess identity to Lin Ruochu at the time, saying that she needed to go home and ask her brother before making a decision.
She then told Ye Jingchen about it.
Ye Jingyan really liked this gossip netizen, so she spoke highly of her in front of Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingchen had no say in Ye Jingyu's marriage, but since he had heard that someone liked Ye Jingyu, he had someone investigate.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that this girl surnamed Lin had some connection with him.
Because Lin Ruochu's grandfather was actually the younger brother of the Duke of Anguo, Lin Ruochu was his cousin.
Over the years, Ji Wushuang's attitude towards the siblings has softened somewhat, and she no longer dislikes them as much as she did when they were children. However, it's impossible for her to like them. If her cousin wants to pursue Ye Jingyu, she'll probably face some difficulties.
When Ye Jingchen investigated Lin Ruochu, he naturally also investigated her family situation.
Logically speaking, her grandfather was the younger brother of the Duke of Anguo and the uncle of the Empress. He should have been a very powerful and influential noble family in the capital. However, their family was very low-key, even more so than the Duke of Anguo's family. People who were not very familiar with the Lin family would not know about their relationship.
Moreover, Duke Anguo and his younger brother actually had a good relationship, and the two families had always maintained close ties.
The Lin family's family traditions are undoubtedly excellent. Lin Ruochu comes from a clean family background with no messy relationships. She is very beautiful and has a lively personality. Apart from her relationship with her siblings, she meets all of Ji Wushuang's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law.
I just don't know if Ji Wushuang can accept her identity.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Jingyu has to like her.
"The next time you see your friend, you can tell him about Jingyu's identity. You can also tell her that the Imperial Concubine is choosing a princess for Jingyu. As for whether to take on the challenge or give up the idea, let her decide for herself," Ye Jingchen said to Ye Jingyan.
Ye Jingyan also learned about Lin Ruochu's identity, and she thought more highly of Lin Ruochu than Ye Jingchen did.
She felt that, given Lin Ruochu's personality, the Imperial Concubine would definitely like her if she met her.
Although the Imperial Concubine is an elder, according to Ye Jingyan's observation, the Imperial Concubine also likes storybooks, enjoys listening to storytelling, and likes watching plays. The Imperial Concubine's personality is different from the other concubines in the palace; she has a lively and charming personality that is not suitable for her age.
Ye Jingyan made up her mind that if Guayou still wanted to marry the Third Prince after learning his identity, she would take Guayou to the palace to play with the Imperial Concubine, win over her future mother-in-law first, and then get to know the innocent Third Prince. Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
