It seems that the Prince Qin has ulterior motives for coming to the Great Chu to select a Princess Qin.
Su Ruojin nodded. "This is indeed a good opportunity, but you'll be very busy."
Xiao Yanchu smiled and said, "We don't know his real purpose for coming here yet. The Prince of Qin has not made any move. We can only wait for the fox to show its tail first."
"Alright, let's not talk about others for now. Ah Jin, my mother and I have discussed it. After the Lunar New Year, I will ask the Lady of Anguo to propose marriage. We will get engaged first, and then we will get married as soon as Grandmother returns to Da Chu. Is that alright?"
When he said this, Xiao Yanchu's eyes were clearly filled with tension. He stared straight at Su Ruojin, as if afraid that she would say "no".
Su Ruojin was taken aback at first, but then she saw the tension in Xiao Yanchu's eyes and her heart softened.
She had already agreed to marry him, so he could simply send someone to propose marriage at a later time; she would never refuse.
But Xiao Yanchu still came specifically to ask for her opinion, which is a sign of respect for her.
Su Ruojin smiled and nodded generously, "Okay."
I had already decided to marry Xiao Yanchu, so what difference does it make if it's sooner or later?
Upon hearing Su Ruojin's words, the tension in Xiao Yanchu's eyes completely vanished, and his smile widened, revealing his teeth.
Su Ruojin couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. His silly grin made him look nothing like the regent who struck fear into the hearts of others. She was too embarrassed to look at him.
Unexpectedly, the smile on her face never disappeared.

Yaohua Palace.
Yao Lan was in a good mood. "Aya, you did a good job this time."
She instructed Aya to find an opportunity to approach Wei Yingshuang and cast a seductive spell on her, which could only be removed by touching a man, and then to summon the Imperial Uncle.
I thought this matter would have some twists and turns, but it went so smoothly.
The Imperial Uncle appeared by Wei Yingshuang's side without her having to send anyone to inform him, and everything that followed fell into place naturally.
In particular, Aya cleverly used a charm spell on the Duke of Dingguo, so he no longer cared about Wei Yinshuang's affairs.
Aya knelt on the ground, looking at Yaolan with some anticipation.
Yao Lan beckoned, and a palace maid came over with a small box.
"Give it to her," Yao Lan said.
The palace maid brought the small box to Aya.
Aya excitedly opened the box, inside was the red beaded bracelet from before. She treasured it and put it on her wrist, then kowtowed to Yaolan.
"I keep my word. If you accomplish something for me, I will reward you. I heard you mention before that your brother wanted to join the army. When my uncle returns this time, I will let your brother enter the army for training. Whether he can succeed or not will depend on his own abilities."
Upon hearing this, Aya's eyes widened in surprise, and she kowtowed three more times to Yaolan.
"Get up. As long as you are loyal to me and serve me well, I will not treat you unfairly. But if you dare to betray me, you should know the consequences."
Aya nodded repeatedly, stood aside, and gently rubbed the beads on her wrist.
As long as my brother is well, everything is worth it.
At this moment, a palace maid reported that Qin was requesting an audience with the king.
The palace maid's voice had barely faded when the Prince Qin walked in, smiling.
"Little Lan'er, your royal uncle has come to see you."
Yao Lan concealed the disgust in her eyes, waved her hand to dismiss the palace servants, leaving only two of Bei Li's trusted maids, and then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Imperial Uncle, on winning the heart of your beauty."
Qin Wang sat down and took a sip of tea. "It's Xiao Lan'er who knows how to care for her royal uncle. The beauty she arranged for him is indeed quite good. Her figure and voice are completely different from those of the women from Bei Li."
At this point, Qin Wang still seemed a little unsatisfied.
Yao Lan smiled gently, "She is the most beautiful woman in the Great Chu. Only a beauty like her is worthy of the Imperial Uncle."
"It's a pity that the Great Chu has too many rules. Before the marriage, I can't even see my queen." The Prince of Qin said with some dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, don't be impatient. There's a saying in the Great Chu that good things come to those who wait. She's already yours, so it's okay to wait a little longer."
"Alright, Xiao Lan'er, tell me, how should I treat this princess?"
“Then it is up to Imperial Uncle’s wishes. However, Lan’er heard that although Princess Fengxi is already Imperial Uncle’s woman, she is still making a scene in the mansion, threatening to hang herself, and refusing to marry him. This forced the Duke of Dingguo to go to the palace to plead with the Empress Dowager, hoping that the Emperor would withdraw his decree.” Yao Lan said casually.
Some things, once the seed is planted, will naturally blossom in the future.
