Jiang Wan said, "Your Highness, Miss Xu comes from a distinguished family. If you could form a marriage alliance with the Imperial Censor's household, it would be of great benefit to you. Have you really thought this through?"
"This is unbelievable! You're saying exactly the same thing as my mother!" Pei Xi said impatiently. "You haven't seen her like that. She's a total tomboy! Even if she were a fairy, let alone the daughter of an imperial censor, I would never marry her!"
His expression didn't seem fake; it appeared he genuinely disliked Miss Xu.
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and did not try to persuade her further.
Everyone knows that forced relationships are never sweet, and she has no time to be a matchmaker.
Moreover, Song Yu will receive Pei Xuan's protection in the future. Although Pei Xi has no intention of vying for power, Consort Yun is quite ambitious.
If Consort Yun could gain the support of the Imperial Censorate, it would not be a good thing for Pei Xuan.
"So, have you come up with a plan yet?"
Pei Xi urged.
"Should we do what we did last time and catch a poisonous insect or spider to scare her away? Oh, or maybe we could put some kind of powder in her food to teach her a lesson and show her what happens if she dares to covet this prince!"
Jiang Wan glanced at him helplessly: "How can you drug someone at a royal banquet? If it's discovered, it's a capital offense."
She turned to leave.
"I understand what Your Highness means. Please allow me to think about it first."
Pei Xi followed after him, relentlessly saying, "How long do you want to think about it? Pei Tang's birthday is just around the corner. Are you trying to fool this prince?"
"Telling you won't hurt. My mother has secrets about the Song family! If you cooperate well, I might consider making a deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks: "What?"
Pei Xi snorted: "Just a while ago, Madam Gu sent someone to deliver a message to Mother Consort, saying that Song Lin had obtained the General's Mansion's secrets, and she wanted Mother Consort to help her in exchange for this."
"She had mentioned this to my mother before, but my mother did not agree immediately. Last night, she sent something over, and her tone was very anxious. I suppose Gu Shi has been having a hard time lately."
Gu Yurong had just broken ties with Song Ziyu, so life was naturally difficult for her.
No wonder she was in such a hurry to send a message to Consort Yun.
Jiang Wan asked, "What is it?"
"I don't know." Pei Xi pouted and muttered, "My mother saw it herself, and she didn't even keep it from me. I only vaguely heard that it seemed to be related to the matriarch of the Yuan family."
"However, since Mother Consort has already agreed to save the Gu family, it must be something useful."
Pei Xi raised his head.
“You must first demonstrate your sincerity at Pei Tang’s birthday banquet before I will consider inquiring about this matter for you.”
"good."
Jiang Wan looked at him and smiled slowly.
"It's a deal."
