Jiang Xiancao asked someone to deliver the gift and took the opportunity to leave, but he had only taken two steps when he bumped into the prince again.
The prince did not come alone, he was accompanied by several princes.
He smiled gently as soon as he saw Jiang Xiancao, but Jiang Xiancao didn't buy it at all and still maintained a lukewarm attitude.
Her arrogance actually reduced the prince's doubts about her.
Because the Shen Tingsi he was familiar with was such a person.
"Ninth brother, I heard that the Empress Dowager is going to use Wen Yi's birthday banquet to arrange your marriage. Mother is also very worried about you." He was not afraid of being rejected and asked with a smile, "Do you have a woman you like?"
Jiang Xiancao raised the corner of his lips, "Yes."
The expressions of the princes next to him changed slightly.
The love triangle between Chen Tingsi and the two young ladies of the Wen Ning Marquis's Mansion ended in such a tragic way. Not only did Miss Jiang, who was once known as the most talented woman in the capital, die, but she also died as a woman guilty of treason.
And judging from the intentions of the Imperial Grandmother and the Emperor, it was impossible for Shen Tingsi to marry the Second Young Lady as his concubine.
But who in the capital doesn’t know that these two people are having an affair?
Previously, in order to support Miss Jiang Er, Shen Tingsi not only offended the entire Wen Ning Marquis Mansion, but also forcibly abducted her to live in the palace.
This is because he is favored. If they had done something that damaged the royal reputation, they would have been punished long ago.
Now, he actually dared to say that he had a woman he liked. Was he determined to go against the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and marry Miss Jiang Er?
Is this guy out of his mind?
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a disapproving tone:
"Ninth brother, you answered so decisively, perhaps you are still thinking about Miss Jiang Er. I advise you, the Royal Grandmother will never agree to let you marry a woman from the Jiang family. You should sever ties with her as soon as possible and stop doing anything that would embarrass the Royal Grandmother and Father."
Jiang Xiancao listened to him patiently, then said with a joking smile:
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. The woman I like now is not Miss Jiang Er."
Upon hearing this, all the princes showed surprised expressions.
Even the prince was stunned for a moment, and after a pause he chuckled again:
"Seeing how devotedly you were protecting Miss Jiang, I thought you had fallen in love with her. It turns out I misunderstood. It's good that you've fallen in love so quickly. Tell us, which girl are you eyeing this time?"
Jiang Xiancao listened to the undercurrent beneath his gentle tone and replied calmly:
"Who else could it be? Of course it's Miss Chu from Jiangnan."
