Chapter 984 The Crown Prince is not the only choice
"OK."
Jiang Wan readily agreed and mentioned Shi Yuan again, "By the way, Shi Yuan..."
"She is really strange. She has no relationship with the prince, but she is inseparable from him."
Gan Ze thought about how his father was not surprised by anything today, and felt that this family was a little abnormal.
"Um."
Jiang Wan returned to her room with something on her mind, and she felt uneasy when she slept that night.
In the second half of the night, Song Jiuyuan realized that she might be having a nightmare, so he held her in his arms.
Jiang Wan then gradually calmed down.
Even so, Jiang Wan was still not in a good mood the next day, so much so that when Gan Ze saw her, he said:
"Master, you didn't get enough rest, so I'll go see the emperor sister by myself?"
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Jiang Wan waved her hand to refuse, and the third princess asked them to meet in a restaurant.
Gan Ze took them to the reserved private room, and after a while, the door between the two private rooms was opened.
The two private rooms were merged into one, and Jiang Wan clearly saw an elegant and graceful woman sitting in the private room next to it.
This woman was not wearing any gold or silver, but she gave people an aura of utmost respect. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Zer, I thought we were just reminiscing about the past."
She has a cold temperament, but when facing Gan Ze, a hint of tenderness appears in her eyes.
"Royal sister."
Gan Ze's eyes were moved, "These are my master, father, and sister, and I think we are all family.
So I'll take you to meet them. Your brother is out there, and they've taken care of him."
"I see."
The third princess' eyes fell on Jiang Wan and Mu Xiang, and she glanced at Song Jiuyuan, who had a noble air.
Obviously, she had done her homework and investigated their identities.
"Thank you all for taking care of my brother. I am very grateful."
The Third Princess spoke sincerely, and Jiang Wan smiled faintly, "Gan Ze is my apprentice, and it is my duty to take care of him."
Everyone had their own thoughts and after a while of talking to each other, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan stopped talking.
The third princess was reminiscing about the past with Gan Ze.
She said in a gentle tone, "Fourth brother, you came back at a wrong time this time. The prince is treating you as a thorn in his side."
"If I don't come back, he will still send people to assassinate me."
Gan Ze sighed sarcastically, "Father's health is not as good as before, so he has to go through it."
"Do you have any idea about that position?"
When the third princess asked this question, her fingertips slightly tightened the cup in her hand, and Jiang Wan saw it clearly.
After Gan Ze shook his head, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know, sister, I have never been interested in that position."
Gan Ze shook his head and said, "I came back this time because the prince forced me to do so."
"Fourth brother, if you have any ideas about that position, I will always stand by you."
The third princess spoke in a serious tone, as if she was serious. Gan Ze was stunned for a few seconds before saying:
"Thank you, sister. I am a loner and not good at handling these trivial matters. I am not suitable for that position."
In fact, Gan Ze already knew his own limitations. He did not want to and was unwilling to change himself to adapt to that position.
Hearing this, the Third Princess sighed, "Sister knows that you always have your own ideas.
If you don't want to, I will find a way to protect you."
She had a majestic look to begin with, and when she smiled, Jiang Wan felt a little flustered.
She was not the kind of person who was born and raised without the courage to think, so she saw through the third princess's thoughts at a glance.
Gan Ze seemed to have not yet realized that he also had true feelings for the third princess.
"My sister is already in an awkward situation in the palace. You should protect yourself first. If my sister is willing, you can leave Nanchuan with me."
The third princess's mother has long passed away, and no matter who succeeds to the throne, no one will treat her well.
The better ones can choose a prince consort of their choice in the capital, while the worse ones may just be sent to marry a foreign prince.
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, the third princess smiled even brighter.
"Fourth brother, you don't stay in the capital often, so you don't know much about the current situation in Nanchuan.
My sister is living a pretty good life now and has no plans to leave for the time being."
Her tone was gentle, as if she was comforting Gan Ze after he was bullied as a child.
Gan Ze's eyes reddened as he recalled the days when they depended on each other in the harem.
"Your Highness."
A heroic female subordinate suddenly appeared. She whispered a few words in the third princess' ear, and the third princess's face changed.
"Third brother, you haven't been home for a long time. I'll ask someone to serve some hometown dishes. Please treat the chef well.
I have something urgent to do, let's meet next time."
"If you have something to do, go and do it first, sister."
Gan Ze was not angry with her. They saw the third princess leave from the dark room in the adjacent private room.
Soon the private room was pulled up again, as if the scene just now was an illusion.
Mu Xiang sighed slightly, "Gan Ze, your sister doesn't even try to avoid you.
This restaurant is her property, right? She treats you well."
“She’s changed a lot.”
Gan Ze sat there in a daze. Although his former imperial sister protected him forcefully, there was no murderous aura around her.
Even though she had been very gentle to him today, Gan Ze still noticed the changes in the third princess.
Fortunately, she still treated him as the timid brother he used to be.
"It's normal for people to change after not seeing each other for a few years."
Jiang Wan interrupted Gan Ze and said, "Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises this time when I come back."
She and Song Jiuyuan looked into each other's eyes, and he instantly understood what she meant.
Instead, Muxiang and Ganze were confused. Ganze asked doubtfully, "Master, is there something wrong with my sister?"
"The prince is not the only choice."
Jiang Wan smiled evilly, "You don't want to be in that position, maybe you can support someone who treats you well..."
"You mean the Imperial Sister?!"
Gan Ze's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously said, "But my sister is a woman, since ancient times..."
"Men have always been doctors since ancient times. Didn't your senior sister and I become doctors as well?"
Jiang Wan interrupted Gan Ze unhappily, "You shouldn't refute based on gender.
If your sister is capable enough, support her and you won't have to worry about anything in the future."
Jiang Wan's words seemed to clear away the fog that had been shrouding Gan Ze's head for a long time, and his mind gradually became clear.
"Master is right. My sister is the only one who treats me sincerely. But what if my sister has no intention of taking that position?"
"If she had no intention, she wouldn't have revealed her extraordinary side just now."
Jiang Wan secretly sighed that her two disciples were really inexperienced. Could a truly helpless princess quietly avoid all the people who were monitoring Gan Ze and see him?
Even what they say now may reach the ears of the third princess.
Jiang Wan didn't mind her knowing this, she curled her eyes and said, "Okay, don't think too much.
I have never tasted the specialties of Nanchuan. Please have a good meal with me."
"good."
Gan Ze's voice was hoarse, and Mu Xiang finally came back to her senses. They were both shocked by Jiang Wan's shocking words.
I ate this meal absentmindedly.
However, Jiang Wan was very satisfied with the meal served by Song Jiuyuan. The food was light in taste, which suited her current appetite.
