Are you willing to be my Crown Prince's Consort
Su Yao was of little consequence. She had never heard any sweeter love words in her past and present lives.
I like you, but I am also willing to respect you, and I solemnly ask you if you can be my Crown Prince's Consort.
Su Yao likes Xiao Heng. In fact, she has been aware of this since the time in the paddock. However, for someone like Su Yao who values face above all else, she has to make up her mind to ask Xiao Heng's opinion because Xiao Heng respects her.
From the previous life to this life, no matter when or what happened, Xiao Heng always stood on her side, believed in her and respected her.
She suppressed her joy and looked up at him: "But I am not a good candidate for the Crown Prince's Consort in the eyes of the elders."
"So you mean, are you willing to be my Crown Prince's Consort?" Xiao Heng stared at her nervously. Although he always had a cold face and there was no difference at this moment, the surprise in his beautiful peach blossom eyes could not help but show out. He accurately grasped the key point - with Su Yao's personality, she would not be willing and would only say that she didn't want to and didn't like it.
She would never bring up the fact that her elders don't like her temper.
The corners of his lips curved up, and when he saw Su Yao glaring at him in embarrassment, he immediately laughed: "That's my business, I will definitely ask you to be my Crown Prince's Consort openly."
As night fell and a breeze blew on his face, Su Yao thought, it was a good thing that it was dark, otherwise how embarrassing it would be if he saw his red face.
She subconsciously loosened her clenched fists, and only then did she realize that her palms were already slippery and covered in cold sweat.
She hummed softly.
To Xiao Heng, this sound was the most beautiful sound in the world.
No matter how steady he was, he was actually just a young man. When he got the response, he was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He took Su Yao's hand and shook it tightly: "Don't worry."
All the promises he made will count.
Mrs. Ji was busy all night, sending all the wives away. She felt as if her body was not her own. Her waist and back ached badly. She couldn't help but sigh slightly, shook her head and smiled bitterly at Mother Ji: "What's the point of chasing wealth? In fact, no matter what level you reach, don't you still have to work hard?"
As long as people are alive, there will be endless things to worry about.
Mother Ji helped her down the stairs gently. She couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Madam, what you said is true. However, after you marry a daughter-in-law, you won't have to be so tired."
Mrs. Ji immediately understood what Mother Ji meant.
Yes, if Yun Ting could really marry the county lady, it goes without saying that with the county lady’s appearance, one can already know that marrying her would be able to support the family.
Mrs. Ji quickened her pace. Most of the other officials had already left. Lord Liao and his wife had gone back to the Governor's Mansion to take care of business. Su Yao and Mrs. Yuan had not left yet. She wanted to talk to Su Yao for a while before he left.
Of course, I can't directly tell the county lady about the Ji family's intentions, but it never hurts to get closer to them.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but feel that her son was good in every way except that he was not tactful or good at speaking. He had clearly discussed several important matters with the county lady, but he didn't know how to behave himself and was still busy at the front.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ji walked to the arch bridge outside Su Yao's courtyard. Just as she was about to quicken her pace, she saw several figures in front of her with the help of the lantern in Ji's mother's hand, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Su Yao also noticed someone behind him. He turned around and saw Mrs. Ji and the others. Thinking that Mrs. Ji must have come to help them pack their things, he greeted Mrs. Ji with a smile.
During the days here, the Ji family, except for the second wife who was not very smart, the rest of the Ji family were very nice and bright. Mrs. Ji had a broader vision than the average wife of an official, and Su Yao had a good impression of her.
Mrs. Ji also hurriedly responded with a smile, and bowed to Xiao Heng who was beside Su Yao. She felt a little puzzled, wondering why Xiao Heng came back with Su Yao.
Even if Su Yao was really helping His Highness, there were always differences between men and women, and he should still avoid certain things that should be avoided, right
She was a little confused, but she quickly put it aside and said to Su Yao with a smile: "I just wanted to come here to ask you if there is anything else you want us to do."
Su Yao shook his head and said softly, "Thanks to your care these past few days, everything is fine and there is nothing wrong. Madam Yuan and my maid have also helped to pack my things. I will leave now."
Those wives of officials all said that Su Yao was arrogant and difficult to get along with, but according to Mrs. Ji, if Su Yao was difficult to get along with, then those wives of officials would be even more difficult to approach.
She shook her head sincerely: "County Lady, please stop talking like that. I've caused you so much trouble, it's rare that you don't blame me."
What they said were all trivial things between women. In the end, most of them were nothing more than, please forgive me for the poor hospitality, and please come again if you have the chance next time. Even ordinary men could not stand it and felt annoyed. However, Xiao Heng just stood aside with a smile on his face.
If she didn't know that this was the Crown Prince, Mrs. Ji would really have thought that this was the county lady's fiancé, and that they were an engaged couple who had just returned from the temple fair.
The moonlight was like flowing water, and the silver light flowed quietly all over the ground. Mrs. Ji watched Su Yao enter the yard, and suddenly she sighed softly.
Mother Ji saw that she was so happy when she came, but suddenly showed such a melancholy look, so she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, Madam? I see that the county lady is very close to you and is not spoiled."
Mrs. Ji smiled bitterly. She was not being pampered, but this flower on the mountain was probably already taken.
These thoughts just flashed through her mind. Mrs. Ji did not say them out loud. She just waved her hand listlessly and left with Ji's mother.
That night, Master Ji came back from work outside excitedly and called out Madam Ji's maiden name happily: "Ah Xing! His Highness asked my father to go with me to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to discuss matters, and asked my father to come forward and invite all the gentry in the city!"
How much do they value the Ji family
All the old man has been thinking about all his life is the revival of his family. Now that the momentum is so good, how can he remain calm
Mrs. Ji was also happy to hear this, and then she said softly: "This is good, even if he fails to marry the county lady, Yun Ting has made a name for himself, and there is someone who can match him."
