That's right, Wei Wangqing was thinking of setting a wedding date with the Chen family.
However, she didn't have a suitable elder on her side. She had originally thought of asking Prince An for help, but then she remembered that his son had confessed his feelings to her—that wouldn't do!
Having no other choice, Wei Wangqing finally decided to go by himself.
After the court session, Wei Wangqing was about to leave when he was stopped by Lord Yao.
"Sixth Prince, may I go with you to the prison to interrogate that prisoner?"
"No rush, let her wait a couple of days. Oh, and Lord Yao, remember to tell her that the presiding judge has been changed to me."
"Of course." Lord Yao asked no further questions.
But in my heart, I felt that this sixth princess seemed to have more poise and elegance than the crown princess.
He seems somewhat unfathomable.
No, Wei Wangqing was just in a hurry to visit her husband's family.
In Wei Wangqing's eyes, this was the first time he had met his parents, so he was naturally a little nervous.
After receiving the visiting card, the Chen family was on high alert, their tension no less than that of the Sixth Princess.
She is, after all, a princess, and she is going to visit their residence in person. She is also the future wife of their son, so of course she must be treated with utmost care.
Wei Wangqing brought her steward with her this time, so that the steward could give her some pointers if she didn't understand anything.
The main hall of the Chen residence.
"Lord Chen, my daughter has come to discuss marriage with your household." Wei Wangqing made sure to adopt the demeanor of a junior rather than a princess.
Chen Min was indeed quite surprised; it seemed that the Sixth Princess really cared about her son.
Chen Zhiyan, who was eavesdropping behind the screen, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Chen's father glanced at his son, then at the Sixth Princess. Indeed, rumors are unreliable. Only by seeing a person for yourself can you truly judge them.
"Oh? Does Your Highness have any requests?"
"No, that's not it. My daughter mainly wants to discuss the wedding date with you."
"What date does Your Highness think would be suitable?" Chen Min thought the Sixth Princess was really impatient.
Chen Zhiyan also felt that this person was a bit too impatient, but he was still more pleased than anything else.
"I consulted the Imperial Observatory, and they have calculated that there are auspicious days for marriage in July and October of next year. What do you think, Lord Chen?"
Lord Chen thought to himself that he had been overthinking things. The other party was not in a hurry to get married. There was still more than a year to go, but it would be awkward for the man to choose an earlier date, as if they were in a hurry to marry off their son.
"October would be better. There would be more time to prepare."
"good."
Chen Zhiyan, however, felt that his joy had vanished in an instant, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, chilling him to the bone.
Why did she postpone the marriage so long? Did she dislike him?
It's not that women stop appreciating what they have, but did she lose interest before she even got it?
She wasn't thinking about anything right now, which meant he had no idea what she was thinking.
But then he felt that she wasn't that kind of person, and he should believe her.
"I'll help my mother see the Sixth Princess off." Lord Chen wasn't too lenient; after all, the wedding was still over a year away, and he couldn't let the two of them grow distant. Besides, it wouldn't be a problem for an engaged couple to spend more time together, since they were already engaged.
Chen Zhiyan was lost in his own thoughts and didn't hear what the two were saying afterward, so he simply saw them off.
I'm a little reluctant to part ways, as I don't know when we'll meet again.
But he could only walk to the screen and bow to the sixth princess.
"Your Highness, please come with me."
When they reached a secluded spot, Wei Wangqing stopped.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Chen Zhiyan asked, puzzled.
You don't seem very happy.
Chen Zhiyan was pleased that she could keenly perceive his emotions, which meant that she cared about him, but he also felt that his worries were somewhat difficult to express.
Seeing Chen Zhiyan's troubled expression, Wei Wangqing thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But if it's about me, I hope you can tell me what you think. After all, people have different ideas, and I don't want you to misunderstand me because of any rumors."
"Communication is very important. I want to tell you everything about me personally." Wei Wangqing said these words first. Perhaps he had been too influenced by those TV dramas in the past, and he was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding between them, and that they would suffer to the point of death if they didn't talk to each other.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyan felt extremely ashamed, realizing that he had really overthought things.
Where could one find such a wonderful woman? She spoke to him so gently, making him believe in her. Chen Zhiyan felt that it was really too much of a mistake for him to have doubted her before.
She found it hard to voice her own thoughts, but she mustered her courage and said, "You set the wedding date so late, I thought you were tired of me."
He lowered his head as he spoke, his voice growing softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong.
Wei Wangqing was both amused and exasperated; it really was because of him!
Fortunately, she said those words, otherwise it would have been a mistake to misunderstand.
Chen Zhiyan wholeheartedly agreed at this point.
Wei Wangqing comforted her, saying, "I don't want to get married too soon. I want to spend more time with you. I can't adapt to it right away."
It's true that I didn't consider everything. The young men here are thoughtful and insecure, so I need to be more understanding.
So after thinking for a moment, he said, "But don't worry, now that we're engaged, I definitely won't go out and have affairs."
Then, remembering his past record, he could only say, "Those were just rumors, don't believe them."
Chen Zhiyan chuckled.
It's good that you're laughing; it seems the misunderstanding has been cleared up. I'm really a master at romance.
