Chapter 64 I have a crush on someone

Hearing Concubine Chen say this, the already fragile Shen Baoshuang burst into tears.

"Ms. Shen can see that the prince has no intention of marrying you. Even if you are promised to the prince in the future, you will just be lonely in the harem for the rest of your life." Concubine Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It would be better to choose a good husband and live together for the rest of your life."

"A lifetime together as a couple?" Shen Baoshuang widened her eyes.

Concubine Chen sighed: "Although it is hard to find, it is much better than the current situation, isn't it?"

"Ms. Shen is still young, and the prince is not your ideal man."

After saying this, Concubine Chen Gui stopped talking.

Shen Baoshuang, who was standing aside, also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Shen Baoshuang finally stopped and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will go find Sister Han and explain everything to her. What do you think?"

Seeing that her impetuous temper was very similar to her own, Concubine Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Go!"

After Shen Baoshuang left, Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to be a woman!"

[Yes, yes, who said it wasn't true? I think Shen Baoshuang is a pitiful person, but big brother is also right. Who doesn't want to be with the person they like? ]

[Fortunately, my mother was wise and chose the Korean sister for my eldest brother. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei complained in her heart: What a pity for my little Wanwan!

Han Xiyue and a few others were chatting idly here when they saw Shen Baoshuang coming. Rong Wenmiao on the side gently touched Han Xiyue and motioned her to look over.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Shen Baoshuang encouraged herself, took a breath, and walked forward again: "Sister Han, I wonder if I can say a few words to you."

Han Xiyue nodded in agreement.

The two of them left the pavilion together, and Shen Baoshuang finally spoke: "Sister Han, I was the one who bothered you before."

Seeing her like this, Han Xiyue was startled again. Could it be that since she didn't die just now, she wanted to try again? She quickly replied, "Sister, you don't have to be like this. If you really like His Royal Highness, in the future..."

Shen Baoshuang heard that Han Xiyue had misunderstood her meaning, and hurriedly spoke up to stop her from continuing: "Sister Han, you misunderstood me. I wanted to say that I have given up on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying this, she let out a long sigh and looked at Han Xiyue with a smile.

"His Royal Highness is indeed handsome and has the appearance of an immortal, but there is more than one man in the world. Since His Royal Highness has no interest in me, why should I bother to get involved with him?"

After these words were spoken, Han Xiyue was stunned for a moment.

Shen Baoshuang pulled her hand again, her eyes full of sincerity: "Sister Han, I wish you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a happy marriage."

Seeing her like this, Han Xiyue blushed, but she pulled Shen Baoshuang's hand and said, "Sister, you can figure it out. Congratulations to you."

But Shen Baoshuang had already seen Shen Baoyan in the distance.

Then he smiled and looked at Han Xiyue: "Then I won't talk to Sister Han. My sister is here, and I'm sure she must be very worried now."

Han Xiyue knew that her brother liked Shen Baoyan, so she quickly said, "Sister, go quickly!"

He looked at Shen Baoshuang's back as she ran towards Shen Baoyan, and saw the two sisters hugging each other, crying and laughing, and he couldn't help but laugh along.

"What are you doing here alone, Sister Han? You've made Yuyao and I wait for you." Rong Wenmiao saw Shen Baoshuang running towards her sister, so she brought He Yuyao to Han Xiyue's side.

Han Xiyue just smiled and said nothing. She turned around and took their arms and said, "Let's go and enjoy the flowers. The Yu Garden has such a beautiful view. If we don't take a good look at it, it would be a waste of Concubine Chen's kindness."

Although Rong Wenmiao and He Yuyao were puzzled, the Han sister, who was worried just now, seemed to relax suddenly after meeting Shen Baoshuang.

After they left, a master and servant came out from the path behind them. They were Concubine Ning and her servant.

"My queen, it looks like Miss Han has reconciled with Miss Shen II," said the maid.

Concubine Ning was still smiling, playing with a small object in her hand, and whispered, "It has relieved Concubine Chen Gui's worries."

A few days after the Spring Banquet, Concubine Chen invited the eldest princess and the second princess to her palace.

Lu Xingwan also got up early in the morning. Naturally, she had to participate in this important occasion where her mother served as a matchmaker.

"Did you gain anything from the Spring Banquet?" Concubine Chen asked the two sisters.

"Of course I didn't notice it," the eldest princess was now lazily leaning on the couch, eating snacks from Concubine Chen Gui's palace, and jokingly asked the second princess: "What about your sister? Do you have a boy you like?"

The second princess couldn't help but blush: "My sister is teasing me again."

Full of coquettishness and anger.

Concubine Chen Gui smiled and said, "I have my eyes on someone, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department, Lin Zizhou. He is only seventeen years old this year, which is the right age."

"His grandfather was Taifu Lin. Although Taifu Lin has retired and returned to his hometown, Lin Zizhou's father also holds an official position."

"Lin Zizhou has been taught by Master Lin in the past, so he must be good."

At this point, Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, the marriage of our sons and daughters should not be decided by you, but I think that after all, it is you who want to spend your life with that man, so I still have to ask you first."

The eldest princess laughed and said, "We have to thank Lady Chen for taking care of it for us. If it were someone else, my second sister and I would not be so lucky. I have met Lin Zizhou before, and he is quite a handsome man."

When the Second Princess heard Consort Chen say this, she stopped being shy and just replied, "I think it's great. Thank you, Consort Chen."

At the morning court a few days later, the Minister of Revenue Guo Ping reported: "Your Majesty, according to the instructions of the Crown Prince, the notice of tax reduction and exemption has been posted in all county offices. Now the people are all excited and praise Your Majesty for his wisdom."

Guo Ping wanted to praise His Majesty, but unexpectedly the Emperor of Chu was unmoved.

He continued, "As for the statistics of local officials, they have now been compiled and sent to the Ministry of Revenue. Your Majesty, would you like to check them?"

"No need, just leave it to the prince." The Great Chu Emperor knew in his heart that if he suddenly intervened, he would be at a loss. It would be better to give all the power to the prince, which would show his trust in the prince.

After saying that, he looked at the prince again: "Prince, do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should arrange some officials to patrol the local areas from now on." The prince stepped forward and answered.

The Great Chu Emperor nodded and stood up: "Is there anyone willing to go?"

This was a new assignment and no one dared to respond, for fear that something might go wrong and bring disaster upon themselves.

When the Emperor of Great Chu saw that his ministers remained silent, he immediately became angry.

The prince stood up quickly and said, "I am willing to go."
