"Since you can't come out to play often, I can go to Wu'an Marquis Mansion to find you..."
"Princess."
Yan Qingyu suddenly interrupted Gao Xianyue, "You'll be eighteen this year. His Majesty once told me about your marriage and asked me to help you choose a prince consort. Does the princess have anyone in mind?"
Gao Xianyue's face froze, and she said calmly, "I don't want to get married yet. I want to stay with my mother for a while longer. Besides, my mother and my father, the emperor and the empress, will take care of my marriage. There's no need to trouble Empress Hui."
Yu Tanqi was listening from the side and naturally knew what Gao Xianyue was planning.
As the person who owned the script, she knew Gao Xianyue's thoughts too well.
Gao Xianyue has now set her sights on Jiang Shi and wants to achieve her goal of gaining power by marrying him.
She is a very ambitious woman.
However, Yu Tanqi didn't want to lose her status as the male protagonist's fiancée, so her plan was destined to fail.
Gao Xianyue did not tell Yan Qingyu that she wanted to choose a prince consort, so Yan Qingyu did not say much, but looked at Yu Tanqi.
"When does Miss Yu plan to marry Prince Jiang?" She seemed to be talking casually.
Yu Tanqi said, "My humble servant is not feeling well. My grandmother once told me and the prince to wait until my health improves before getting married and having children, so as to avoid premature marriage and having children that could cause health problems."
This was the advice that Old Lady Xie personally gave to Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi, and it was also one of the reasons why Jiang Shi refused the emperor's immediate marriage grant yesterday.
When Old Madam Xie was young, she and Old Master Xie were very close. She gave birth to her first child in the first year of her marriage at the age of sixteen. After that, she became pregnant and gave birth every year, almost without stopping.
Others envied Madam Xie for her fertility and blessing of many children. However, they did not know that the continuous pregnancies and childbirths had seriously damaged Madam Xie's health. Not only was she bedridden for many years, but most of the children she gave birth to also died young.
The pain of losing a son and the pain of seeing a young person die made Mrs. Xie live in regret for almost the rest of her life.
Mrs. Xie had only one daughter, Xie Lin, who she raised with great difficulty. She was always sick with major and minor illnesses and had to take medicine all the time.
Xie Lin was in poor health, and the original owner of her child also had a weakness brought from the womb, which made Mrs. Xie feel very guilty.
Old Madam Xie didn't want Xie Lin to marry far away, and her daughter died before her. She was heartbroken and loved her only grandson like a treasure.
At first, she didn't want the original owner to fulfill her engagement with the male protagonist. In her opinion, marrying out of Chen County meant marrying far away.
In the end, he couldn't persuade the original owner and didn't cancel the engagement immediately.
If the male protagonist had not come to Chenjun in person to greet Yu Tanqi because of the letter she wrote, I'm afraid that Madam Xie would have cancelled their engagement no matter what.
However, although Mrs. Xie agreed to let Yu Tanqi follow the male protagonist to leave Chen County, she did not allow them to get married immediately.
Yu Tanqi knew that Madam Xie must have other requirements for the male protagonist. Although the male protagonist did not say it, she could probably guess that there was probably a time limit.
She also felt that there was no need to rush into marriage now. She would not turn seventeen until the second half of this year, so she would have to be eighteen at the latest before she could get married.
Yu Tanqi blinked, and the scene of her getting married to the male lead...
It’s a bit hard to imagine.
Gao Xianyue looked at Yu Tanqi and said slowly, "The feng shui of the capital is good for health. Miss Yu, your complexion is even more rosy than when we first met. I think it's because Prince Jiang has taken good care of you. Perhaps soon, we will hear good news about you and Prince Jiang."
The girl's eyebrows were curved, and when she mentioned her fiancé, her fair cheeks were naturally rosy, shy and charming.
"The prince really treats me very well." Yu Tanqi said sincerely.
In this era, how many men are willing to cook for women?
What's more, he is the prince of a marquisate who has lived a life of luxury since childhood.
The reason why Jiang Shi learned to cook was because Old Madam Jiang wanted to train her only son, so she had to learn an extra skill so that he could survive even if he was alone.
Jiang Shi was a gifted man with a keen sense of intelligence and filial piety. When Mrs. Jiang had a poor appetite, he devised a way to prepare medicinal food for her and coax her into eating it.
Xu Mubai also praised Jiang Shi. If he had not thought of ways to make medicinal food for Old Madam Jiang to recuperate, Old Madam Jiang would not have been able to spend the years when she was seriously ill and bedridden peacefully.
Who can not be moved by such a gentle and beautiful boy?
Yan Qingyu looked at Yu Tanqi's clear eyes, feeling a little bitter in his heart, but more of a sense of relief.
"Miss Yu and Prince Jiang are a match made in heaven. I wish you will be together forever and live happily ever after." She gave her sincere blessing in a warm voice.
"Thank you, Empress Hui."
Yu Tanqi felt that her eyes looked a little sad, and he wondered if it was his illusion.
Looking at the emperor in front of her, Yu Tanqi thought that she might have also thought of "I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him until we are old."
Unfortunately, her status does not allow it.
Gao Xianyue frowned as she looked at them. She was very unhappy that Yan Qingyu interrupted her. However, Yu Tanqi actually cooperated and started chatting with Yan Qingyu, so she couldn't get a word in at all.
Damn it.
Gao Xianyue was a little annoyed.
She had to go through Yu Tanqi to get closer to Jiang Shi.
However, Yu Tanqi looked timid and refused to listen. He was indeed a man who was taught by the old lady of the Xie family in Chenjun. He was very careful with his words.
Gao Xianyue was unwilling and wanted to say something, but they had already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so she had to shut her mouth and watch as the civil and military officials and their families knelt and kowtowed to the emperor and empress.
Gao Xianyue calmed herself down. Today was the first day of the new year, and Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi would not be able to leave the palace until the second day. She still had time and opportunity.
Let her think carefully about what to do.
Yan Qingyu glanced at Gao Xianyue.
The two have known each other since childhood, and Yan Qingyu knows very well what kind of person Gao Xianyue is.
This royal princess has been arrogant since childhood and never pays attention to girls below the third rank officials. She only pays attention to those who are beneficial to her.
She suddenly approached Yu Tanqi, and she must have had bad intentions.
After the court meeting ended, Yan Qingyu immediately called Yu Tanqi away. Gao Xianyue was so angry that she pinched her waist and cursed under her breath.
"Yan Qingyu, don't think you're great just because you're Consort Hui. Just wait for me."
If anyone dares to ruin her good deeds, she will not let her go.
Yan Qingyu took Yu Tanqi to a corner, looked at her seriously and said, "Miss Yu, the Fourth Princess and I have known each other since childhood. The Fourth Princess is quite scheming. You must be careful with her and don't get too close to her."
Yu Tanqi blinked her eyes and acted innocently. Although she was surprised, she nodded and said obediently, "Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty. I will pay attention to it."
Yan Qingyu was about to say something when Jiang Shi's voice suddenly rang out.
"Tan Qi." The young man in green quickly walked to Yu Tan Qi's side and looked at her with an extremely gentle expression. "Why are you here?"
