Prince An's Mansion.
Zhou Xuanning has been back in Beijing for more than a month, and recently his father, Prince An, has talked most about marriage in front of him.
He has accumulated a lot of money over the years and recruited soldiers in Qingzhou to hide his tracks.
A few years ago, Prince An arranged a marriage for him with the eldest daughter of the general's family.
Jiang Yingying, the young lady of the general's mansion, has been pestering him since she saw him at the Spring Banquet.
He always maintained the appearance of a handsome young man in the capital, so he treated people with courtesy, but in fact he was very annoyed.
Thinking of the throne, he held back.
He had never had a woman he liked in the past, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
Now the person he loves is Yan'er, and the person he wants to marry is also Yan'er, but this engagement is not so easy to cancel.
His father would not agree to it either, because they wanted to win over the General's Mansion in the first place.
The Jiang family has only this one legitimate daughter, and Jiang Ting dotes on her very much, holding her in his hands for fear that she will melt.
If this marriage proposal was made by Prince An's Mansion, it would not only fail to win over the General's Mansion, but would also offend him.
If this matter were to be reported to the palace, it would attract attention.
In order to act secretly, he only held an idle position in the palace, just to make the palace think that Prince An's Mansion had no ambitions.
Before Zhou Xuanning could come up with a solution, Jiang Yingying sent him a letter, inviting him to go boating on the lake.
They were already engaged, so going out for a boat trip on the lake was not considered inappropriate, but it was usually the man who asked the woman out, and it was rare for the woman to ask the man out.
If the woman didn't like the man so much, she wouldn't be so proactive.
By the lake.
A woman wearing a green dress, with a slim figure, looks like a beauty from the back.
Jiang Yingying clutched her handkerchief, feeling somewhat nervous. She had heard that Brother Xuanning had been back in Beijing for a long time, and had wanted to go look for him on the first day, but her mother said it was not good for a woman to be so impatient, and that the man should take the initiative to invite her out, so that she could test his sincerity.
So she counted the days on her fingers, but Brother Xuanning still didn't come to look for her. It must be that there were too many things to do in the palace and he couldn't get away.
Zhou Xuanning rode his horse over at a certain time and saw a figure by the lake, a bit like Yan'er. When he looked closer, he realized it was Jiang Yingying.
It seemed that ever since he said he didn't like her wearing a red dress last time, she had been wearing plain clothes.
But she is trying too hard to imitate others. The clothes don't look as good on her as they do on Yan'er.
"Brother Xuanning." When Jiang Yingying saw Zhou Xuanning coming, her eyes lit up and her voice became much louder. She slowly lowered her raised steps and walked towards the man.
As the two were walking by the lake, many people looked at them. After all, Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion had an engagement, and everyone in the capital knew about it. When people saw the handsome man and beautiful woman, they felt that the wedding was approaching.
Zhou Xuanning was not happy about coming to the appointment, and after listening to what the people around him said, he could hardly control his expression.
Jiang Yingying was even happier because the man she loved was by her side, and she didn't notice Zhou Xuanning's expression when she heard the people talking about their engagement.
"You must be tired after walking for so long. Let's go to the restaurant over there and rest for a while." Zhou Xuanning put on a gentle smile and said to Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying, of course, obeyed Zhou Xuanning's words and went to the restaurant together.
Zhou Xuanning's steps were also much longer. In order to keep up with him, Jiang Yingying had to jog all the way and pay attention to her posture. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and she looked very embarrassed.
I originally thought that the lotus flowers by the lake were blooming and the scenery was very beautiful.
