"Can I say that I guessed you would come, so I didn't call you? Look, the dishes and chopsticks you are using now, weren't they prepared for you in advance and would have been there?"
Jing Yuchen looked at it in astonishment. This...
Ni Yueshan raised an eyebrow at him, and Jing Yuchen shook his head helplessly: "Well, my princess will know that I will come by counting on her fingers, so there is no need to notify me..."
No matter how Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan's identities changed, the way they got along with each other never changed, which always made Ni Gaofei feel very gratified.
After dinner, Jing Yuchen and Ni Gaofei drank tea together, while Ni Yueshan accompanied Guo for a walk in the yard.
Ni Yueshan asked curiously, "Mom, how long until your due date? Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
Guo lowered her eyes and took a look, then reached out and touched her abdomen: "Maybe it's a girl? But I hope it's a boy?"
"Why?"
"Because your father has no sons!" This statement came from the bottom of Guo's heart, and there was no reason to favor boys over girls.
Ni Yueshan thought so too. If one didn’t have a son, wouldn’t one be incomplete and flawed in the eyes of these ancient people?
Feeling depressed, Ni Yueshan still agreed, "Yes, if it's a girl, then she'll be Dad's little cotton-padded jacket, very heartwarming! If it's a boy, then she can help Dad and share the burden of the family!"
Mrs. Guo was stroking her belly and laughing, and her expression was so happy.
But as if she had thought of something, she hesitated and said, "Thank you so much for your rebellious son before, but he is not young anymore. Now that his father is gone, he has to take care of all the affairs of the family, big or small, and he also has business outside the house. He is always too busy to talk to me..."
"If I could find him a wife, I believe he wouldn't be so busy. Yueshan, you have good taste, right? Will you choose?"
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched. Could this be interpreted as asking her to be a matchmaker?
"Ahem, well... I don't know many women, so I don't have anyone to introduce to. Unless I go through a matchmaker, I'd still be wrong. Isn't he doing business out there?"
"Then let him find the daughters of his business partners? I believe they can... become a perfect match?"
What Ni Yueshan said made sense and was possible to a certain extent. After walking for a while, Guo and Ni Yueshan were tired and went back to rest.
Ni Yueshan was walking towards the study, but unexpectedly, he was actually in the study.
"Dad." Ni Yueshan called out and walked over. "Didn't we say we were going to have some tea together to cool down? How did it become a discussion?"
Ni Yueshan took the initiative to fill the tea cups for the two of them, with a slight smile on her lips, and pushed the teacup towards Jing Yuchen, not forgetting to raise an eyebrow at Jing Yuchen.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Jing Yuchen's face. In front of Ni Gaofei, he even winked at him. This must be because he had never been beaten before...
"These past few days, in the court, between the Regent and the Prince..."
"Wait, Prince? Shao Lecheng?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Ni Gaofei strangely, wondering why he was called a prince.
"The Queen Mother has already conferred upon him the title of Prince, but you should not call him Shao Lecheng from now on. This is ultimately unreasonable..."
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen, and their gazes met, which was equivalent to verbal communication.
"So, the Queen Mother's opinion of Jing Lecheng has changed a little bit. Perhaps in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he is already her man? Then we still need to work harder!"
"As long as Jing Lecheng truly becomes the Queen Mother's man, it will be much easier to do things in the future!"
Ni Yueshan's words made Ni Gaofei frown. "So, you guys really are in cahoots...acting right under the Queen Mother's nose!"
Ni Yueshan walked to the study door, looked around, and saw no one else was there. After closing the door, he spoke, "Dad, don't you think that the Queen Mother's words are no longer true after she took over the government?"
Ni Gaofei stroked his beard in silence. Ni Yueshan continued helplessly, "She said that as a woman, she wouldn't dare interfere in government. But now, she has the final say. And with the Miao family's status in the capital, I'm afraid it won't be long before it far surpasses that of the Jing family!"
Jing Yuchen drummed his fingers on the table and then said, "Yueshan, you hit the nail on the head. If you want to strike her down, it's best to let people see this clearly in time!"
"What do you mean? What are you planning to do?" Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen steadily. She felt that Jing Yuchen was up to something bad. Did he have a plan in mind?
"I have an idea. Let's deal a heavy blow to the Miao clan!"
Although the words were spoken calmly, Ni Yueshan was deeply impressed...
"Tell me about it?" Ni Yueshan's eyes gradually glowed as he looked at Jing Yuchen, as if he admired Jing Yuchen very much.
But Jing Yuchen raised his eyebrows and had no intention of saying it out loud.
"Didn't you just express your idea?"
Ni Yueshan was stunned. Did she have it?
Hesitant in his heart, Ni Gaofei smiled aside and said, "You two, if I had realized that you are such a good match earlier, I would not have thought of Zou Yangyao..."
This sentence instantly destroyed the atmosphere on the scene.
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched: "Zou Yangyao, in fact, if it weren't for him, there really wouldn't be who I am today..."
Ni Yueshan frowned: "Dad, the prince and I will go back first."
"Sit a little longer?" Ni Gaofei was a little surprised.
Ni Yueshan had already grabbed Jing Yuchen's hand and walked out: "If we take too long, who knows if the Queen Mother's people will talk nonsense. Let's go!"
In the end, Ni Gaofei did not say anything to stop them and let the two leave.
After Ni Yueshan dragged Jing Yuchen out of the Prime Minister's Residence and boarded the carriage, he spoke, "Do you know any girls?"
Jing Yuchen thought Ni Yueshan would definitely ask the question he had just asked at the Prime Minister's Residence, but this...
"Do you want to introduce him to Zou Yangyao?"
Ni Yueshan was puzzled: "Why introduce him?"
"...I'm mistaken. What are you asking girls for?"
"My stepmother's son has no wife or concubine."
Ni Yueshan stared at Jing Yuchen intently, as if expecting an answer, but Jing Yuchen snorted, "I don't know..."
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen. How could she not know him? She just didn’t dare to say it.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to show everyone that the Jing family is not as good as the Miao family? I'll take care of this. How about you take my brother on a blind date and find him a lady from a wealthy family, or a beautiful girl from a humble family?"
Ni Yueshan is really weird...
Why don't you do simple things and choose something more difficult?
