Jing Chen, who was far away in the capital, encountered something that made him furious.
The reason is that the eldest prince's wedding is imminent, and the queen is afraid that the officials will talk behind her back about her only worrying about the lifelong affairs of her own son and ignoring the other two princes. At this time, she must treat them equally so that others cannot find fault with her.
Even though Jingchen is not yet of marriageable age, we should arrange the marriage first so that he can get married when he is of the right age.
Although Jingchen has a second elder brother, he has dark spots on his face and has done nothing. Compared with the eldest prince and the beloved third prince, he seems much more ordinary.
For this reason, Jing Chen's face has been not very good these days. The emperor did not object. It is not appropriate for a father to stare at the daughter of a minister and study her children's marriage all day long, not to mention that he is the current emperor.
However, the final decision on which girl to be betrothed to still requires his permission, so he thought of letting the Queen choose first. Even if the Queen dislikes Jing Chen, she must be openly acceptable. The girl chosen must be one of the best and must be worthy of the status of the prince's principal wife.
"Father, I don't want to get married now!" Jing Chen said seriously.
Ye Fenglan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Jingchen, put down the Wolf Howl Pen in his hand and said:
"I was wondering why you suddenly came to see me in the Imperial Study today. It turns out it's because of this matter. Men and women should get married when they are old enough. How could you possibly not plan to get married for the rest of your life?"
Jing Chen said: "My marriage is naturally my own decision, it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere."
Ye Fenglan said, "I know you have a stubborn personality, but you were born into a royal family, so this marriage is destined not to be decided by you alone."
Jing Chen stared at Ye Fenglan intently, and said in a firm tone: "No one can decide my affairs, and no one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
Seeing his son's stubborn and determined eyes, Ye Fenglan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The father and son were deadlocked for a while, and Ye Fenglan finally opened his mouth and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to, you are only thirteen years old this year, you can still delay it for a few more years. But you have to understand that your status is here. If you want to make your own decision, you have to show enough strength to shut others up."
Jing Chen said nothing and turned to walk out of the imperial study.
Ye Fenglan looked at Jing Chen's back, shook his head and sighed.
Not long after Jing Chen went out, he ran into Ye Feiyu who was walking towards the imperial study, and the two faced each other.
"Hello, Third Brother. Are you here to see father as well?" Ye Feiyu's attitude was different from before. Now, he had a gentle smile on his face and looked very polite.
Jing Chen still ignored him and walked past Ye Feiyu without saying a word.
Watching Jing Chen walk away, Ye Feiyu raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "I hope you can continue to maintain such a high and mighty attitude!"
Jingchen went straight to the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother had already made some guesses when she asked him to do so.
"Going to see your father?"
"Yes!" Jing Chen said without hiding it.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Is it because of the girl you mentioned last time?"
Jing Chen said: "Not entirely, grandson just doesn't want others to interfere in my private affairs."
"My child! None of the royal heirs are your private affairs, including your marriage. So many eyes are watching you!" said the Queen Mother earnestly.
"They are not looking at me, they are looking at who will eventually sit in that position!" Jing Chen said.
The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "However, if you choose a girl from a good family to be your principal wife, it will be of great help to you. As for the girl you like, how about Grandmother make her a concubine?"
Jing Chen raised his head and said, "No! Grandma, she is different from other women. Her pride will never allow herself to be someone else's concubine, and her grandson doesn't want to either!"
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "What a hot-tempered girl! Could it be that being a prince's concubine has wronged her?"
Jing Chen shook his head and said, "Grandma, it's my grandson who is not worthy of her!"
The Queen Mother's face darkened and she said, "Chen'er, aren't you going too far? You are the legitimate Third Prince of my Dragon Soul Nation. What kind of woman is unworthy of you? Could she be a fairy from heaven?"
The Queen Mother never imagined that her grandson, who had been aloof since childhood, would one day say with his own mouth that he was not worthy of a woman. In her mind, no one could compare to the grandson she had raised. It could be said that she loved him from the bottom of her heart and would never allow anyone to say that Jingchen was inferior to anyone else, including Jingchen himself.
Jing Chen shook his head and said, "Grandma, you haven't seen that girl, so you don't know how outstanding she is. Grandma, do you still remember how your illness was cured?"
The Queen Mother asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the ginseng you and that kid from the Su family found?"
Jing Chen shook his head and said, "Grandma, you only know one side of the story. This ginseng was given to me by that girl. All the things you like to eat, grandma, are made by her. And the vegetables in my cousin's restaurant are all because of her!"
The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "Is it that girl who saved my life? Chen'er, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Jing Chen said: "No, grandma, you know I never lie!"
The Queen Mother believed this. Jing Chen had never lied since he was a child. She asked this question just to confirm it.
