If there wasn't affection between them, why would the prince devote so much attention to one man? It must be that he treats him the same way he treats Young Master Jiang—he wants to marry both of them.
Why should I be angry?
"Because...because Young Master Jiang drove him away," the guard whispered again.
Wan Ge's smile deepened, and she slowly said, "If he doesn't drive him away but instead tries to keep him, then I will be angry. I don't like Yin Qingxiu, so it doesn't matter to me where he is, as long as he is safe."
"Why does the prince protect him and care about him if he doesn't like him?"
"You don't need to ask so many questions. Just send people to protect his safety. There's no need to interfere with his normal life. As long as there's no danger, there's no need to interfere. By the way, if any strange women appear around him, especially those he rescued, be sure to tell me."
"Ah? Yes." The guard obediently answered, then suddenly sensed an unfamiliar presence: "Who is it?"
In less than two seconds, the guard appeared in front of Jiang Zixi. The familiar face startled the guard: "So it's Young Master Jiang. The prince is in the study. Are you here to see him?"
Jiang Zixi nodded, and the guard spoke softly again, "Then you should go quickly."
After he finished speaking, the guard disappeared. When Jiang Zixi looked up, he saw Wan Ge looking at him with a smile.
Wan Ge put down her pen and slowly walked towards the person: "Why did you suddenly come over?"
Jiang Zixi looked at Wan Ge with slightly reddened eyes.
Wan Ge panicked instantly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
He must have overheard his conversation with the bodyguard and should know that he doesn't like Yin Qingxiu. So why was he crying? The other person didn't seem happy either, so it couldn't be tears of joy. So he must have been wronged.
Jiang Zixi looked at Wan Ge and said, "The Empress Selection will be held soon. My mother wants me to avoid it and instead arrange for me to get engaged to my cousin."
Wan Ge paused slightly. Actually, she knew it was a good idea, but she knew she didn't want to because the other person was asking her. Wan Ge also knew very well that if she agreed, the jealous girl in front of her would be very upset, not to mention that she wasn't really willing either.
Hilarious! How could anyone agree to their beloved getting engaged to someone else? Even if it's just for show, it's unacceptable. What if the other person actually falls for your sweetheart and tries something untoward? Wouldn't that create a rival for your affections?
"Don't worry, I'll handle this. I won't let you get engaged to anyone else, okay?"
Jiang Zixi nodded, looked at the person in front of her, and finally smiled: "I believe you."
Wan Ge kissed him on the forehead, then said, "The grapes planted at the Prince's manor are ripe recently. Would you like to try some?"
"Okay." Jiang Zixi nodded.
Then Wan Ge led him to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, where Jiang Zixi discovered that the backyard was planted with various fruit trees, including grapes.
Now that it's this season, all the grapes on the vines have turned purple, each one is crystal clear and plump, and they look especially sweet.
The original owner became a leisurely prince who planted flowers and fruits and occasionally studied calligraphy and painting. The original owner was not a reckless man, so even if he did not go to the battlefield or worry about court affairs, he would not feel extremely bored.
If she weren't worried about arousing the Empress's suspicion and being unsuitable to associate with too many literati, she might have attended some poetry gatherings or something.
