The first time I met You Ran was at my third uncle’s Tingzhuxuan.

At that time, my third uncle was my husband, but he was quite busy on weekdays, so I saw my third aunt more often than him.

My third aunt was a very powerful woman. My mother said that it was my third aunt who saved my mother and me when I was born.

Mu Youran is the niece of my third aunt. She is as gentle and beautiful as my third aunt. At that time, I didn’t know that for some people, one look and you’ll be in love for life.

Youran and I studied together in the school opened by my grandfather and grew up together. Youran is very smart.

Later, as I grew older, Youran's every move touched my heart, but I clearly felt that Youran was avoiding me.

She no longer wanted to go out with me alone, and when she couldn't refuse, she would bring her cousin Wen Zhi along.

When it was my turn to choose the Crown Princess, my mother called me to her palace and asked me if I had a woman I liked. I told her that I liked Mu Youran from the General's Mansion.

My mother was very happy. She and my father loved each other very much. She said she hoped I could also find a woman I liked.

After knowing that the woman I liked was Mu You, my mother wanted to make arrangements for me, but I refused.

Because I don't know how she feels, and if she doesn't want to, I can't make things difficult for her just because I like her, so I decided to ask her clearly.

After coming out of my mother’s palace, I went straight to my grandfather’s house to find my cousin Wen Zhi.

If we were to ask who knows Youran best, it would be none other than cousin Wen Zhi.

When I arrived at the Wen Mansion, my cousin Wen Zhi was sparring with her cousins. Naturally, they were no match for sister Zhi'er, who was proficient in both literature and martial arts.

When she saw me come in, Sister Zhier attacked me directly. We had a sparring match and ended in a draw.

"Brother Prince, why are you here at this hour?" Sister Zhier threw the whip in her hand to her second cousin.

"I need help with something, cousin?"

Sister Zhier is a direct person. You never have to beat around the bush when talking to her. She is also a warm-hearted person.

"Go to my Mingyue Garden and tell it to me. I will definitely help my brother, the prince."

The little girl took me to her Mingyue Garden, which is the best courtyard in the Wen Mansion.

When we arrived at Mingyue Garden, the servant served us tea, which was my favorite new tea of ​​this year.

"Brother Prince, you haven't told me what you want Zhier to help with?" the little girl asked me curiously.

"Sister Zhi'er, mother is selecting a princess for me. I have a favorite girl, but I don't know if she likes me?"

"Then why don't you just go and ask, Prince?"

"Brother Prince thinks it's not a good idea to ask a woman about this directly."

"So Prince Brother wants Zhier to help ask?" Sister Zhier finally reacted, and I nodded quickly.

"Then can you tell me, Prince? Which family does this lady come from?" Wen Zhi was very confused. On weekdays, the women that Prince had the most contact with were her and her cousin.

"Zhi'er, it's actually your cousin Youran!"

"It turns out that the person that the prince likes is Sister Youran. The prince has good taste. I'll leave this matter to Zhier."

When Wen Zhi heard that Jun Ao liked her cousin Mu Youran, she was instantly excited. If she remembered correctly, her aunt came to her house to see her mother yesterday and talked about her cousin's marriage.

Because she had something on her mind, Wen Zhi didn't even have time to eat lunch and went straight to the General's Mansion to find Mu Youran.

Murong Shu didn't see Wen Zhi at lunch, and only then did he learn from Xiao Tao that his daughter had hurried to the general's mansion.

Wen Zhi went straight to Mu Youran's yard today. When the servants saw that it was Wen Zhi, they let her in.

Mu Youran loves and takes good care of this little cousin from her aunt's family. The two have had a good relationship since childhood. In the general's mansion, Wen Zhi is also very favored.

Seeing Wen Zhi coming to see him at almost dinner time, Murong Shu was very surprised. "Sister Zhier, why are you so anxious?"

"Sister Youran, the Crown Prince said he has a girl he likes!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Youran was shocked at first, then angry.

"Sister Zhier, I know you like the prince, but he is not worthy of you. You deserve the best. My aunt said that love is when two people are in love with each other. We should not be so obsessed with love."

Mu Youran’s words confused Wen Zhi. She liked the Crown Prince, but not in the way that she wanted to marry him!

"Sister Youran, I don't like my brother the Crown Prince!"

Mu Youran thought Wen Zhi was sad and said that out of anger, so she echoed, "Yes, we won't like him anymore in the future!"

"no!"

"Zhi'er, don't be sad!"

When Wen Zhi heard that cousin Youran had misunderstood her again, she quickly explained, "It's okay if Zhi'er doesn't like him, but cousin has to like him, because the person the prince likes is cousin."

Mu Youran was stunned for a while before she reacted. She said firmly, "I don't like anyone who makes Zhi'er unhappy."

"Cousin Youran, no, I really don't like the Crown Prince. Mother said that close relatives will give birth to idiots. The Crown Prince is always my brother."

Smart Wen Zhi now understands that cousin Youran has always thought that she likes the prince.

"Zhi'er, aren't you the designated Crown Princess?" This time it was Mu Youran's turn to be surprised.

"Sister Youran, who spread the rumor?" Wen Zhi was angry.

"I heard from my second grandfather once, or maybe my cousin heard it wrongly. Zhi'er, please don't go to see my second grandfather, okay?"

Mu Youran was afraid that Wen Zhi would get angry and go to Mu Si to settle the score, and then the whole mansion would be in chaos.

"So Sister Youran thought Zhi'er liked the Crown Prince, so she was hiding from him, right?"

Wen Zhi finally figured everything out, and Mu Youran nodded.

Wen Zhi knew that her cousin loved and protected her, but she didn't expect that she would even give in to someone she liked.

"Sister Youran, do you like the prince?" Wen Zhi wanted to know her cousin's true thoughts.

Knowing that her cousin didn't like the prince, Mu Youran was actually a little happy. If it wasn't for her cousin, she would be willing to give it a try and fight for it.

My aunt said that you should be brave when facing someone you like. The worst that can happen is being rejected.

"Sister Zhier, I like the prince and have liked him since I was a child. If that girl is not you, I am willing to fight for her."

Wen Zhi laughed out loud when she heard this, "Silly Sister Youran, you are not confident at all!"

"Didn't Sister Zhier say that the prince has a favorite girl?"

"Yes, Prince, you have a girl you like. Why can't this girl be Sister Youran? Sister Youran is so outstanding."

"How come?"

"Of course not. Today, the Crown Prince came to your house to ask for Zhi'er's help and to inquire about Sister Youran's feelings. The woman he likes is Sister Youran."

Mu Youran's expression was surprise, then delight, and finally a little shy.

"Did the prince really say that?"

"When did Zhi'er ever lie to Sister Youran?"

"It's hard for Zhi'er to make this trip, and I am also pleased with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
