The little princess lowered her head, looking at her toes, her tone shy yet firm: "From this moment on, I've made up my mind that I must find a virtuous gentleman like Young Master Pei."
"Later, Young Master Pei got married. At that time, I didn't know what love was. I just felt a little disappointed."
"I ran into Young Master Pei again recently, and I realized that I still like him."
"I feel inexplicably happy when I see him, and I can't help but laugh out loud. I want to see him every day."
"I think this is what liking something is, right?"
"I didn't have the chance to meet Young Master Pei, but I don't want to miss him again."
"Sister-in-law, can you help me think of a solution?"
"I know that the Empress Dowager is very likely to oppose this marriage, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor trust you very much. As long as you persuade her, the Empress Dowager will definitely agree."
Su Yujiao sighed helplessly. It turned out that she knew everything in her heart, but she couldn't control her emotions.
“Princess, I know it’s not appropriate to say some things now, but I think it’s better for you to know some things later than earlier.”
“Sister-in-law, please speak. I respect you as an elder, and there is nothing you cannot say.”
Su Yujiao organized her thoughts: "Princess, you only considered that the Empress might disagree. Have you considered that Young Master Pei and the Pei family might also disagree?"
"As far as I know, Young Master Pei had a deep affection for the late Madam Pei. Madam Pei passed away less than a year ago, so it would be difficult for him to accept a new relationship in such a short time."
"Moreover, the eldest son of the Pei family is paralyzed in bed, and the entire Pei clan places their hopes on him."
"If he becomes the emperor's son-in-law, he can only be a minor official with no real power, and the hope of the Pei family will be extinguished."
"Moreover, any talented man has his own ideals and ambitions, and he should not want to live a mediocre life."
"Therefore, for men, love only occupies a very small part of their lives, and they will not abandon their careers and families for a woman."
"So even if you bravely confess your feelings to Young Master Pei, it will be difficult for him to respond to you."
As Chu Qingyin listened to Su Yujiao's words, her eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Sister-in-law, I know all that you're saying, but... but..."
"Waaaaah..."
The little princess cried very sadly, but she really liked Young Master Pei.
Su Yujiao comforted her, "Alright, you're still young."
"It's normal to fall in love with your savior when you're just starting to experience romantic feelings. It's admiration and gratitude, and it might not be love."
"When you grow up a bit more, you might meet someone you truly like."
"The Empress and the Crown Prince love you very much, and they will definitely choose a good husband for you."
"Don't be sad over these unrealistic things."
Chu Qingyin cried for a while: "Sister-in-law, although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still want to express my feelings to him."
"Whether he responds or not, at least I can have no regrets."
"Sister-in-law, can you help me?"
Su Yujiao looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't bear to refuse her.
"Okay, I'll help you think of a way."
"The old lady of the Pei family came to me for treatment some time ago. I will go to the Pei family for a follow-up visit after the New Year. You can come with me and find a chance to talk to her."
"Yes, thank you, cousin-in-law."
Knock knock knock.
"Jiaojiao, what are you talking about? Are you out playing mahjong?"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Chu Qingyin immediately wiped away her tears, not wanting to be laughed at.
After the New Year, Su Yujiao went to the Pei family and arranged a follow-up appointment with the old lady.
"Will Young Master Pei be home in three days?"
The old lady was taken aback, then seemed to understand, and immediately beamed with joy: "He's here, he's right here. Does the county princess have something to discuss with him?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked Su Yujiao up and down, and became more and more satisfied with her.
The grandson shouldn't remain wallowing in grief forever; it's time for him to find a second wife.
She felt that the girl in front of her was perfect; she was beautiful, skilled in medicine, and had a cheerful and generous personality—just her type.
Su Yujiao knew that the old lady had misunderstood, so she immediately explained, "It's not that I want to see Young Master Pei, it's that a friend of mine wants to see him."
"My friend will be coming with me in three days. I hope you can pass on this message to me, Madam."
"Okay, okay."
The old lady smiled and agreed, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
However, she felt there was still a chance, and maybe she could even try to bring them together.
She'll ask her grandson's opinion first; if he's willing, she'll definitely try her best to bring them together.
Three days later, Chu Qingyin, dressed plainly and wearing a veil, entered the Pei residence with Su Yujiao.
When the old lady saw that Su Yujiao was accompanied by a young girl, her eyes lit up.
What a pretty young girl! Is she going to see her grandson?
The old lady asked, "Your Highness, who is this young lady?"
Su Yujiao replied, "She is my friend, and it is not convenient for me to reveal her identity at the moment."
The old lady understood; it was just as she had thought—it was indeed this young girl who wanted to see her grandson.
"Someone, go and call the Second Young Master."
"yes."
When Pei Yuanshao learned that the old lady was looking for him, he thought his grandmother was seriously ill, so he hurriedly went to the backyard.
"Grandmother, are you feeling unwell?"
The old lady smiled and said, "I'm fine. This young lady has something to discuss with you."
“I’ve already had Aunt Chen send everyone out of the courtyard. You can go and chat in the courtyard.”
Pei Yuanshao glanced at the girl. The girl was wearing a veil and kept her head down, so her face could not be seen.
