The servants in the Prince's Mansion are all well-trained and keep their mouths shut. No one would dare to reveal the "private affair" between the two.
He held her in his arms and walked through the corridors until they arrived at the dining area.
The table was already filled with her favorite meals.
Su Jingyao sat on the chair and ate in small bites.
Jun Zechen seemed to suddenly remember something and frowned slightly.
"Has Minghui been bullying you these past two years? Is she planning to hit you today?"
Minghui used to act pitiful in front of her mother, and acted recklessly outside the palace by relying on her status.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and Jun Zechen was quite good at pleasing his mother, so he turned a blind eye.
"Princess Minghui is Brother Zechen's sister. How could she bully me? It's my fault."
Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly so that Jun Zechen couldn't see her expression, and started chatting again.
When Jun Zechen heard the familiar tone, he felt a little confused and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Didn't I give you a token? Don't let others bully you without knowing how to fight back."
"If I use the Crown Prince's token to rebel against Princess Minghui, and Princess Minghui complains to the Empress, I'll be in big trouble. If I then go to His Majesty, he will surely help his daughter. How could a mere woman like me dare to rebel against the princess?"
"Unlike the princess, I don't have a brother like you, the Crown Prince, and the Empress and His Majesty as my backers. Since you are not in the capital, I can only let the princess bully me."
Su Jingyao raised her head, her eyes filled with grievance.
Jun Zechen stared in deep thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.
What Yaoyao said made sense. He came back too late.
Minghui is old enough, it's time for her to get married.
"In a few days, have your mother hold a wedding banquet for Minghui to recruit a husband. She's sixteen or seventeen years old now. Finding a husband will help her calm down and have him discipline her properly."
Jun Zechen's tone was firm and his eyes revealed decisiveness.
The prince consort controls the princess? Can he?
"Okay, Brother Zechen is really a 'good brother'."
"However, if the Queen Mother organizes this banquet, it will most likely be held in the Imperial Palace, and the young men and women of the aristocratic families will also be invited."
His eyes were deep as he pondered the details of the banquet.
Although the purpose is to select a consort for the princess, it is naturally impossible to just let these young men from noble families stand in a row at a banquet and let the princess choose. That would be too embarrassing for these young men.
"Will I go too?"
Jun Zechen naturally didn't want her to go. If she went to the banquet, wouldn't those men today also be there, except Yan Shuhan who was transferred by him?
But the Queen Mother would definitely invite the Su family. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
If he didn't let her go, she probably wouldn't agree.
He added, "I will go there when the time comes."
"Doesn't Brother Zechen dislike attending banquets?"
"I don't like attending a party without you."
Su Jingyao lowered her head shyly, but another idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
He asked tentatively, "Does Miss Qi, who followed Brother Zechen today, like Brother Zechen?"
Jun Zechen also thought of Qi Wanyin because of her question.
Or should Qi Wanyin and Minghui choose their husbands together to avoid any trouble in the future?
"There are many women who like me, but I only like you. Qi Wanyin is about the same age as Minghui. I will ask my mother to prepare for both of them."
Su Jingyao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
If Jun Zechen had taken the initiative to choose a husband for Qi Wanyin, the Queen would probably not have wanted to grant a marriage between Qi Wanyin and Jun Zechen.
But my brother won't be back in Beijing for another month, so he might not be able to attend...
