Nanling did not refuse marriage just because she became a female official, which made Yongchang very happy.
Yongchang actively negotiated with the Prince of Ruyang's residence and arranged a time and place for the meeting.
It's already May, early summer, and the lotus flowers in the lake outside the city are in bloom.
So some young ladies and gentlemen would ride horses to enjoy the spring scenery or go boating on the lake to admire the flowers.
Yongchang simply arranged the "blind date" event at Lotus Lake outside the city.
"Helian Qi greets Princess Nanling!"
Helian Qi appeared to be in his early twenties, with the deep-set eyes characteristic of the Helian family.
With his tall and slender figure and gentle demeanor, he looked even more like a dignified gentleman in his moon-white robe.
Upon meeting Nanling, he politely bowed.
Be neither arrogant nor humble, neither unfamiliar nor impolite.
Even with Nanling's critical mindset, he couldn't find any fault with Helian Qi.
"Nanling greets the Crown Prince!"
Helian Qi has rules, and Nanling will certainly not be impolite.
"Oh, we're all family, no need to be so polite."
Yongchang couldn't bear to see the two young people being so unfamiliar with each other, so he deliberately pointed out their kinship.
Princess Ruyang was also very enthusiastic, echoing Yongchang, "That's right! They're all cousins, you even studied together in the palace when you were little!"
They are relatives and childhood sweethearts.
These days, getting together for a blind date is definitely a "match made in heaven"!
Helian Qi remained as gentle and refined as ever, but the blush on the tips of his ears revealed that he was not truly indifferent.
Nanling, on the other hand, acted more assertively.
She showed no shame, nor did she lower her head; instead, she held her head high.
Nanling's thinking was simple: she wouldn't deliberately act virtuous, gentle, or considerate in front of men.
She's a strong woman who's determined to pursue her career.
Even after marriage, she would still appear in court. (Reading...)
She would clearly convey this meaning to the man during the blind date.
If the other party is tolerant or willing to support, then proceed to the next step.
If the other party cannot tolerate it, then it's best to part ways amicably!
Nanling's pride prevented her from resorting to deception.
Helian Qi: ...
Seeing Nanling, who looked like a little fighting rooster, his smile grew even brighter.
The tenderness in his eyes was almost too intense to be concealed.
Helian Qi knew Nanling, but in his memory, Nanling had always been a timid and cowardly young girl.
The Nanling before us seems to have been reborn, becoming bright and vibrant from the inside out.
It was only at this moment that Helian Qi realized that Nanling, who had been keeping her head down, was actually very beautiful.
She possessed the striking features of the Helian royal family, as well as the petite and delicate features inherited from her aristocratic father and grandfather.
She embodies the best of both royalty and aristocratic families.
Thump! Thump thump!
Helian Qi seemed to hear his own heart pounding faster and faster.
Nanling felt Helian Qi's increasingly intense gaze, and she finally felt a little uncomfortable.
"I... I'm not a conventional 'virtuous wife and loving mother.' I enjoy math, and I enjoy standing in the imperial court..."
Nanling was afraid that her performance would not convey her thoughts, so she suppressed her shyness and spoke frankly.
“Aqing, I am the heir apparent of the Prince of Ruyang, and I also hold the honorary title of Qianniu Guard. I also attend court.”
Helian Qi remained as gentle as ever, and said softly, "Every time I attend court, I witness the spectacular scene of Zheng Shizhong's debate with the Ministry of Revenue."
When Helian Qi said the word "wonderful," his eyes and brows were filled with a smile.
He wasn't being sarcastic or mocking Nanling; he genuinely admired and appreciated her.
Nanling: ...
This man actually admires me!
This is far more moving to Nanling than any liking or admiration.
What she needs is never a superficial man, but a soulmate.
Just like Helian Jue and the Empress.
Although Nanling always believed that Helian Jue, with his bad temper and even worse mouth, was not worthy of the Empress at all.
However, Helian Jue has many flaws, but one major advantage: he is not fickle or promiscuous!
Whether he was genuinely observing mourning or merely putting on an act, he never showed any intimacy with other women after ascending the throne.
His eyes are only for the Empress!
Based on this alone, Nanling felt that Helian Jue had finally not let the Empress down!
Furthermore, Helian Jue actually allowed the Empress to oversee the country, setting a precedent for all dynasties. This was not just a matter of deep affection, but rather a recognition of the Empress from the depths of his soul!
Nanling felt somewhat envious.
When Yongchang was urging her to go on blind dates, Nanling thought to herself: If I am to get married, I must find someone who is compatible with me in terms of mindset.
Even if they can't be soulmates like the emperor and empress, the other person can still understand and tolerate her!
Instead of becoming a burden that holds us back!
"You really think it's 'wonderful'?"
"Absolutely fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed it!"
A young couple, one gentle and the other shy, were inexplicably harmonious.
Yongchang and Princess Ruyang watched from afar, their faces beaming with joy.
Hey!
It's done!
...
Good news is coming soon in Nanling, and another "happy event" has also been put on the agenda.
only--
"Mu Shao?"
Xie Yuan had a headache.
When Helian Jue went on the expedition, he took Helian Chen with him.
Before leaving the capital, Helian Chen specifically entrusted his birth mother, Hu Ji, and his younger sister, Helian Yan, to her care.
Helian Chen also asked Xie Yuan to at least find a reliable husband for Helian Yan.
Xie Yuan had a good impression of Helian Yan. They had all gone to Lingnan together and spent three years together in Yuezhou.
