Lan Qichen saw that everyone in the room was staring at him, and he felt his ears burning, but he didn't want to delay the matter any longer.
He gritted his teeth and continued:
"That day, at Ningjiu Villa, I met Miss He once.
But I don’t know whether she has been betrothed or not, nor do I know whether Miss He has found someone she likes.
This is just my wishful thinking.
This matter still requires the help of mother, two aunts, and sister Xing!"
When they heard it was Miss He, Shen Linhan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she’s not the Eighth Princess, it’s fine!
When Si Jinxing heard about Ningjiu Villa, she remembered.
Before, Qi Moli invited many relatives and friends to Ningjiu Villa in order to propose to her.
Unexpectedly, my cousin fell in love with He Zhaoyue at first sight!
She immediately said:
"Zhao Yue is not engaged, nor does she have a man she likes. Cousin, there is still a chance!"
She was really happy at this moment. Zhaoyue was gentle, dignified and polite. She was the most suitable person to be her sister-in-law!
When Lan Qichen heard this, his eyes lit up and a smile suddenly appeared on his face!
He clasped his hands together towards Si Jinxing and said:
"Sister Xing, thank you for letting me know!"
Shen slowly sat back in her chair and said:
“I asked you before, but you didn’t say a word!
We all looked at you and thought, you are a rough man, you are probably not picky about women!
All I need to do is to help you check your character and do some screening!
After your father discussed with your grandfather, they decided on Miss Xia.
Now, I have asked a matchmaker to go and present the gift, and even your birth date and time have been sent to the Xia family!
As long as the Xia family is interested in marriage, this matter will probably be done!
At this juncture, you suddenly told me you wanted to change people. This is really embarrassing for your mother!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qichen hurried forward, poured a cup of tea himself, handed it to Shen, and said:
"Mother, please think of a solution."
Han looked at the tea that Lan Qichen handed over, and mercilessly exposed him, saying:
"Chen'er, the tea is completely cold!"
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said:
"Three letters and six ceremonies, after asking for your name, there are still four more ceremonies waiting for you!
If anything goes wrong in any link, the marriage will not be possible!
It's okay, Chen'er, with Auntie San here, this matter will be easy!"
Lin disagreed and said, "The Xia family is not an ordinary family. We need to think about this matter carefully!"
Seeing this, Si Jinxing had no choice but to tell her about what he saw Miss Xia from the Xia family on the street two days ago.
When the people in the room heard this for the first time, they were a little bit unbelieving!
Han was impatient, and she asked anxiously:
"Xing'er, did you really see it clearly? That's Master Xia's legitimate daughter!
Are you so unruly?"
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "Of course I can see it clearly."
Lin frowned and said:
"If this is true, there's no need for us to tamper with the ceremonies later on!
We in the Lan family don’t dare to accept such an unclean woman!
It will bring bad atmosphere to the family!"
Shen looked at Si Jinxing and said:
"So, when you came to the mansion two days ago, looking for your cousin, it was to check if the person drinking tea with Miss Xia was Chen'er?"
That day, she and Si Jinxing came out of the palace and met Si Junshan on the road. She got off Si Jinxing's carriage and returned to the Lan Mansion on her own.
But I never thought that not long after, the child would come back to the house again.
When I came to your house, I just walked around and then left.
Now that I think about it, this kid was afraid of making a mistake, so he came to confirm it in person!
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "Exactly! After all, I didn't know what my cousin meant at the time.
If they are attracted to each other, it would be fine for two people who are planning to get married to drink tea and chat together."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen and said:
"Since my cousin has made up his mind, why don't you let me handle Miss Xia's situation?"
Lan Qichen frowned upon hearing this and said:
"Sister Xing, you are a woman, so let mother handle this matter!"
Si Jinxing said:
"Don't worry, cousin. Ever since I saw her a few days ago, I've been having people secretly investigate.
Believe me, there will be an opportunity soon!
This matter originally happened to the Xia family, and we are not the ones who should be worried about it."
Shen and Han looked at each other and said:
"Xing'er, since you want to play, then I'll leave it to you!
There is just one thing, if you need my aunt to help, you must speak up!
How could our Lan family be insulted like this by the Xia family? "
At the same time, some people were talking about the Xia family!
“The Xia family is really good at picking people!
I was only two days late, yet Xia Yunchi got there first!
My royal brother, Xuan Ning is your niece, you have to be more supportive of her!
You should issue an imperial decree to arrange a marriage between Xuan Ning and the eldest son of the Lan family!"
The one who said this was Princess Chang'an!
After she finished speaking, she turned around and sat in a chair beside her, looking very unreasonable!
Emperor Chongde closed the memorial in his hand, then picked up the next one and opened it!
He didn't even look at Princess Chang'an, but said in a cold tone:
"Everything must be done in a first-come, first-served manner. Although I am the emperor, I cannot arbitrarily interfere in the marriages of my subjects!
Xuan Ning is a good child, I will definitely find another talented young man for her!
If there is nothing else, you can go back first!"
Princess Chang'an was defeated and had to leave the palace.
This matter soon spread to Concubine Luo's Yichun Palace.
