Jiang Zixi's cousin's family has a tradition of never serving as officials in the imperial court. This is their family's ancestral motto. Everyone in their family is exceptionally talented and resourceful, but they will never serve as officials in the imperial court.
For this reason, Prime Minister Jiang really wanted his son to marry the other party.
Wan Ge's identity is too special. Not to mention that she is still a high-ranking princess in the eyes of the people. Even if she falls on hard times and is demoted to a commoner, she will still be regarded as a person of royal blood by others.
Even though she was a prime minister whose power was effectively usurped, more than half of the civil officials, led by her, still listened to her.
If these two situations were to be on the same side, it would make the Empress feel threatened, so no matter what, her son could not be with her.
"Please allow me to consider this, Mother." Jiang Zixi knew that his mother always respected his opinions, and he also knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, but he still didn't want to be known as someone else's fiancé, even if this time it was fake, just to avoid the talent show.
"Alright, think it over carefully. To be honest, your cousin is really well-off. She has good looks, a good family background, good education, and a stable life. These are things that others can't compare to."
The Jun family has always been kind to others. One talented person after another has studied under them. They do not serve as officials in the court or interfere in national affairs. Even though many of their disciples eventually become officials, this does not change the fact that they have no enemies.
More importantly, the emperor would not suspect them, because their family members would never serve as officials or interfere in court affairs. This was a family precept and a well-known fact.
If any of them were to enter the imperial court as officials, the emperor could use the pretext of their family's ancestral precepts to dismiss them from their posts or use the pretext of their family's current ambitions to exterminate the entire clan.
No matter who the emperor suspects, he would never suspect the Jun family. His son would indeed be very safe and secure if he married there.

Jiang Zixi spent two days at home agonizing over whether or not she should talk to Wan Ge about this matter.
He felt he should listen to her opinion, and he was also very curious to know what Wan Ge really thought.
After hesitating for a while, he put on his straw hat and went to the Prince's mansion without anyone noticing.
After looking around, he found Wan Ge in the study. Just as he was about to go there, he overheard her conversation with the guard.
Wan Ge stood before the table, seemingly painting, while the guard knelt on one knee: "Master, Young Master Yin has left the capital and moved to Jiangnan."
"Go to Jiangnan? That's fine." Going to Jiangnan will save us from encountering that scoundrel emperor in the temples of the capital.
The guard coughed softly and slowly said, "Actually, I don't think Young Master Yin really wanted to go to Jiangnan. He was leaving not long after talking with Young Master Jiang that day, which is very strange."
The other party definitely had no intention of going to Jiangnan, otherwise why would he still be at Qianwei Pavilion? It's obvious that he only decided to go to Jiangnan after talking to Young Master Jiang that day.
Wan Ge chuckled when she heard what he said. In fact, she already knew it when the guard spoke: "Little jealousy, this is the kind of reaction he should have."
"Isn't Your Highness angry?" The guard actually felt that Wan Ge had feelings for the other party, otherwise why would he redeem him, protect his safety, or monitor him?
