If it weren't for the emperor's poor health and the increasingly fierce struggle for the throne, she and her brother would probably have married long ago.
"What's wrong, Ge'er?" Qin Huaiyu asked, a hint of confusion in her eyes when she noticed the other person staring at her.
Wan Ge shook her head: "I just think my sister-in-law is beautiful."
The other person playfully flicked her nose: "You have such a sweet tongue."
"I'm just telling the truth," Wan Ge said, then leaned against her again.
Qin Huaiyu lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Prime Minister's residence.
Yes, she simply couldn't let go of Jiang Wanqing.
However, the Marquis's family could not possibly participate in the struggle for the throne. This was because her mother was the Eldest Princess, and her father was the Marquis of Ding'an.
Because of her marriage to the eldest princess, her father had long since returned military power, and her brothers were originally supposed to inherit titles but not enter the court.
But unfortunately, her mother only gave birth to her, and after witnessing her mother's near-death experience during childbirth, her father decided not to have any more children.
The estates of the Marquis's mansion and the Princess's mansion had long been given to her; they were absolutely neutral and no one would try to win them over. No matter which prince ascended the throne, the Princess would still be the Princess, the new emperor's aunt, and she would still be the young princess, the emperor's cousin.
However, the Prime Minister's residence is different. Although the Prime Minister's residence is currently in a neutral state, there are many people who want to win them over.
Although they haven't taken sides yet, they will have to sooner or later, otherwise whoever goes up will definitely be purged. The prime minister has been looking for someone for all these years.
The reason for not allowing Wan Ge to get engaged to the Crown Prince was twofold: firstly, they felt Wan Ge was still young and needed to consider things further; secondly, they didn't want her to take sides so quickly. The person the Prime Minister actually wanted to see was never the Crown Prince.
Unfortunately, his daughter had too much affection for the Crown Prince, so he wanted to wait and see, hoping that one day his daughter might regret it.
…
Qin Huaiyu knew that Jiang Wanqing was actually thinking of her. As long as she didn't marry into the Prime Minister's mansion, even if the Prime Minister's mansion lost the battle, it wouldn't affect her.
However, if she marries into the Prime Minister's mansion, according to the system of this era, even if she doesn't die, even if she divorces and returns home, she will still have an impact on him.
Jiang Wanqing liked and cherished her, so she didn't want her to get involved in this struggle.
However, Qin Huaiyu also liked Jiang Wanqing and cherished him, so she wanted to be with him no matter what they faced, even if they were exiled together or beheaded in the future, she still wanted to be with him.
But Jiang Wanqing refused. Although she was angry, there was nothing she could do.
In fact, Qin Huaiyu had asked Wan Ge for help before, but even if Wan Ge was innocent and naive, she knew that there were some things that should not be done.
Although she didn't know why her brother was still unwilling to marry his sister-in-law, she knew that her father and brother must have their reasons for doing so.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
But every time he sees Qin Huaiyu, he still happily calls her "sister-in-law".
…
Qin Huaiyu quickly took him to the flower viewing party outside the city. Every year at this time, when the flowers bloom outside the city, many people would come to enjoy the flowers.
Many literary figures and scholars would also exchange ideas here.
Many young women also go out at this time to enjoy the spring scenery, flowers, and tea.
Qin Huaiyu invited Wan Ge to go out together because she noticed that Wan Ge hadn't been out for a long time.
When Wan Ge arrived, she couldn't help but look in one direction.
The other person was lying quietly resting on a relatively high peach tree, with their clothes and hair hanging down slightly, and they seemed very serene.
But against the backdrop of peach blossoms, that stunningly beautiful face looked even more breathtaking.
Despite being such a beautiful person, his location, though not particularly conspicuous, was still quite eye-catching. Yet, it seemed that no one else noticed him except her.
Wan Ge found this a bit strange. The other person was so good-looking, there should be quite a few people who noticed him and liked him. With his appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the most handsome man. However, no one had ever mentioned him.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Huaiyu noticed that the person next to her was looking in a certain direction, and she subconsciously looked up as well.
Qin Huaiyu could only see a slightly obscured profile. The person was dressed in clothes that matched the peach blossoms, and their demeanor was serene and peaceful. However, since the person's aura was not strong, it was normal that Qin Huaiyu did not notice them.
"You know him?" Her eyesight is so good, how can she see clearly from this far away?
Qin Huaiyu began to wonder if she had been studying too late into the night and ruined her eyesight, which was why her vision was blurry. However, she could still see things clearly at normal distances, or perhaps Wan Ge's eyesight was just extraordinary.
Wan Ge nodded gently: "Sister-in-law, I'll go say hello to him first. We'll meet at the pavilion ahead in half an hour."
Qin Huaiyu instinctively grabbed her wrist and looked at the person in front of him, speaking softly: "Wange, you are still a young lady in your boudoir, and it is not appropriate for you to have contact with men outside the home."
Wan Ge looked at Qin Huaiyu in front of her, surprised for a moment, and then smiled at her: "He is the person I like, it's okay."
"Is that the Crown Prince?" That shouldn't be the case. The other person's clothes look like they are made of silk, and some gold threads are faintly shimmering in the light, but the Crown Prince shouldn't wear clothes of this color.
Wan Ge shook her head: "No, no, no, I haven't liked the Crown Prince for a long time. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."
Qin Huaiyu looked on with suspicion. Had he already disliked the Crown Prince? But just half a month ago, when the Crown Prince was mentioned to her, she was still full of joy. Now he was saying he hadn't liked him for a long time?
