Chapter 314 What exactly do you like about me?
Xiao Huaijin gave the set of writing implements to the youngest granddaughter of the Lin family, which made everyone sigh.
Looks like he didn't like any of them again!
However, they did learn that the Lin family's youngest granddaughter might marry the Crown Prince in the future.
...
Xiao Huaijin left Luomei Pavilion in a good mood.
Heh, so what if you dug a pit and set a trap for me? I still managed to defuse it, didn't I? These are all things that come easily to me.
Xiao Huaijin strode towards Fengwu Palace with his hands behind his back.
My eldest sister has finished her postpartum confinement these past two days, so I don't need to hide behind the screen when I talk to her anymore. It's a good opportunity to go and see how she's feeling now.
As soon as Xiao Huaijin arrived at the entrance of Fengwu Palace, the eunuch immediately came to greet him.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is discussing matters with Lady Song!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huaijin immediately quickened his pace, eager to hear if Song Zhimin would have anything to say about what happened today!
...
Inside the Phoenix Palace, Ye Yunshu was dressed in casual clothes. There were plenty of charcoal braziers and fire pits in the hall, so no one felt cold at all.
Song Zhimian was only wearing a padded jacket, while Da Mao's clothes were placed aside.
Ye Yunshu was wearing a cloak, and in front of the two of them was a large fire pit filled with high-quality silver wire charcoal that burned without smoke or odor. Song Zhimian soon felt warm all over.
"Lin Xiang has already sent another batch of grain to the north."
The concern was that the heavy snow in the north this winter might cause food shortages and result in the Weiyuan Army suffering.
"Lian Qiao has returned to the North with that batch of herbs and has already sent a letter. Your Majesty need not worry." Song Zhimian said, referring to the matter that Ye Yunshu was concerned about.
Ye Yunshu nodded, then reached out and warmed her hand by the fire pit.
"Do you know about what happened with Lao Qi?" Ye Yunshu asked with a smile.
Song Zhimian was taken aback, then remembered that today was a large matchmaking banquet organized by Consort Wu and the Lady of the Han State...
"So? Who has the Regent taken a fancy to? Aren't all the young ladies vying to outshine each other?" Song Zhimian suddenly perked up.
Ye Yunshu shook her head.
"No, that's not true! I originally gave him a set of writing implements and told him to give it to whoever he took a fancy to."
As a result, after looking around and seeing all the young ladies' masterpieces, he gave the writing set to the youngest granddaughter of the Lin family, who was only seven years old and had only written two characters.
"Tell me..." Ye Yunshu said, sighing as she spoke.
Song Zhimian...
She hadn't realized Xiao Huaijin had this side to him!
"Could it be that the words written by the youngest granddaughter of the Lin family have a deeper meaning? Or is the Regent Prince trying to buy time by waiting for the youngest granddaughter of the Lin family to grow up?" Song Zhimian asked subconsciously.
Ye Yunshu...
"It doesn't mean anything! He just simply didn't like anyone."
As for Lin Xiang's little granddaughter... he probably wants to arrange a marriage for Jue Ge'er!
Forget it, I don't want to talk about this anymore. He did it on purpose. Zhimian, what do you think we should do next?
"We can't just... ignore everything like this!" Ye Yunshu sighed.
Song Zhimian said "oh" and glanced at Ye Yunshu, feeling that the empress in front of her was quite fond of her younger brother.
If it were any other emperor...
Hehe, from the perspective of the interests of Dayu, the stability of the court, and the consolidation of imperial power, they would definitely just grant the marriage directly, without caring about anything else!
But His Majesty still hoped that his younger brother could marry someone he had his eye on, someone he liked a little bit...
"It's alright, Your Majesty. The Regent probably didn't understand the situation at first."
The plum blossom viewing banquet is over, but it's already started snowing! I heard the snow will continue for a few more days, and we'll hold another snow viewing banquet in a few days.
The snow appreciation banquet is over, and the New Year is not far away. You can hold another banquet in the palace for the officials and their families.
The printing is about to begin after the New Year, and you can also…
"That's great. There are constant banquets in the palace, and the revelry every night is quite nice!" Xiao Huaijin strode into the main hall and interrupted Song Zhimin.
Song Zhimian quickly stood up and respectfully bowed deeply.
Xiao Huaijin snorted and turned to sit down on the stool where Song Zhimin had just been sitting.
Song Zhimian dared not speak and could only lower her head.
"Someone, give Consort Song a seat, next to me!" Ye Yunshu still felt sorry for Song Zhimian.
...
Seeing Song Zhimian sit down below Ye Yunshu, Xiao Huaijin snorted.
"It's alright, it would be good if you held more of these banquets in the palace."
Wasn't this one arranged for Juege'er? Next time, we'll arrange another one for Prince Jin.
And the next time, let's see if we can arrange for them to have two more concubines or something.
Eldest sister, I think you don't just need to focus on the girls in the capital. You should also gather all the young masters in the capital for a banquet.
Who knows, it might even help find some great husbands for both Lan Qian and Mu Xiao!
Even if all else fails... you still have Princess Changqing. Wouldn't you have to summon all the young princes and nobles from the capital to the palace for a visit?
"If we decide on a few potential husbands early on, we won't be caught off guard later, right?" Xiao Huaijin said angrily.
Song Zhimian was taken aback at first, but then she was overjoyed.
All the young masters of the capital gathered together... that scene would surely be a feast for the eyes!
“That’s a great idea! Princess Yongxin and Princess Shoukang will definitely love it!” Song Zhimian blurted out.
Xiao Huaijin immediately thought of what Song Zhimian had said while drunk...
Ye Yunshu also thought Xiao Huaijin's idea was good.
"That's right! Your idea is great. From now on, Changqing's mind will definitely be on the Censorate. He won't have time to think about finding a consort!"
Those men... hardly any of them pay attention to me!
I might as well raise a few child princes in the palace sooner rather than later. That's a good idea!
Zhimian, I'll leave this matter to you. You, Mu Xiao, and Lan Qian should discuss what kind of banquet would be appropriate.
This is a big deal! Let's skip Luomei Pavilion; there's also Cuizhu Pavilion in the palace, we can stay there!
"I'll go take a look that day too!" Ye Yunshu was so happy she almost slapped her thigh.
Xiao Huaijin...
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Huaijin stood up.
"Elder sister, I take my leave! Song Zhimian, come out here for a moment, I have something to say to you!" After saying that, Xiao Huaijin stood up.
Song Zhimian was still immersed in the scene of a group of worldly young masters standing together...
"Song Zhimian, come out!" Xiao Huaijin called out again.
Song Zhimian glanced at Ye Yunshu before slowly standing up.
...
"Song Zhimian, do you really look down on me that much? Is there something wrong with me?"
Furthermore, I have no relation whatsoever with that Kachin woman named Dana.
"Danna has many male lovers with them!" Xiao Huaijin said angrily as he walked out of Fengwu Palace.
Song Zhimian...
After taking a deep breath, Song Zhimian asked a question.
"Your Highness, why do you insist on marrying me? What do you like about me? Or what do you see in me?" Song Zhimian was also a little puzzled.
Xiao Huaijin actually explained it to Song Zhimian in a very serious manner.
