Prince An did have a maid who was his wife. After he came of age, Princess An specially assigned her to him in order to test whether he was a good man.
That time, his mother and concubine lit aphrodisiac incense in the house. He didn't want his mother and concubine to worry about him when she was worried about his father, so he made do with it and never went there again.
The first time I fell in love with Wu Jingmei, I thought I hadn't touched a woman for a long time. I originally wanted to find the maid to serve her, but then I saw her and thought of Wu Jingmei. I felt disgusted for no reason and had no desire, so I left directly. Got it!
After Wen Nuan gave him advice this morning, when he returned to Prince An, the Crown Prince asked his mother-in-law to find a good match for the maidservant and get married!
Wu Qihua didn't expect that Prince Duan would suddenly run in and make such a promise. He glanced at his wife, Ye Shi also looked at her husband-in-law, and then the two looked at Nuan Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled and said: "Whatever uncle wants to say, just say it. If the prince sincerely marries his cousin, he won't mind. If he is not sincere, I will not agree to my cousin marrying him!"
This means that there is no need to worry about offending Prince An's palace, she will take care of anything.
Even if she couldn't bear it, she believed Nalan Jinnian would help him carry it.
Besides, if Prince An dares to let Wu Jingmei down, Wen Nuan has a hundred ways to make him miserable.
Prince An nodded, then gave a junior salute to Wu Qihua, and said sincerely: "Princess Hui'an is right, Uncle Wu and Aunt Ye, if you want to know anything, just ask. I will tell you everything." I can’t say enough!”
Ye said: "We are from farmers. Jingmei's life has been going up the mountains to chop firewood, going down to the rivers to catch fish, and dealing with mud every day. She doesn't understand the royal rules, and she doesn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy or painting. I'm afraid You can't play the harp with the prince, nor add fragrance to your red sleeves. These princes may feel fresh now, but when the freshness passes, the prince may think she is vulgar and rude, and lose interest. Life is very long, and you are just She is a teenager and her life has just begun! Besides, Prince An, don’t blame the common woman for speaking so directly and marrying her daughter to the prince of such a high family. When the time comes, she will be wronged and we will have no way to support her! Me too It’s not that the prince will make her feel wronged, but sometimes some things are unpredictable.”
Prince An was not angry after hearing this, and replied very sincerely and politely: "Aunt Ye, if I want to marry a woman who knows how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and who has red sleeves to add fragrance, I will not marry a concubine to this day. I just want to marry someone with a temperament. A woman who is straightforward, true, and simple and kind-hearted at heart. Don’t be too crooked, scheming, hiding your heart, or too suspicious. I find it too tiring to get along with such a person.
I just want to live a peaceful and warm life with my future princess, where we can be of the same mind as husband and wife, treat each other honestly, and be at ease and warm. Prince An's Mansion is warm and harmonious, and I don't want to destroy this harmony by marrying the wrong person. Miss Wu is kind-hearted, straightforward, and will directly express any thoughts in her heart. She is the most ideal candidate for the Crown Princess in my heart. "
Mrs. Ye didn't say anything when she heard this, because in her heart, this is how husband and wife should be, and the home should be warm and harmonious.
She looked at Wu Qihua.
Wu Qihua was silent for a moment and added: "The prince has already had a marriage relationship before we got married. How can we believe that you will not? Life is very long, and you are only in your teens or 20s, and your life has just begun."
Prince An had already thought about how to answer this question. He said: "Uncle Wu is right, life is indeed very long. Only Miss Wu and I have gone through this life together can prove that what I say today is true." . Now I don’t know how to guarantee that I can make Uncle Wu believe that I will have the only concubine in my life, Miss Wu. But I can ask the emperor for a decree to grant marriage, and ask the emperor to add a clause in the decree. I can only do this in my life. As a woman like Miss Wu, I cannot take concubines, have intercourse with other people, have extramarital affairs, etc. If I disobey it, it will be considered as disobeying the emperor's order, and I will be beheaded!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Wu Qihua doesn't know what to say.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, Prince An bowed deeply: "I hope Uncle Wu and Aunt Ye can betroth Miss Wu to me! I dare to make a promise. One day when I am here, I will definitely do it." Protect Miss Wu for one day and prevent her from being wronged."
Everyone has said that this promise should be written down in the imperial edict. This is already showing the greatest sincerity in asking to marry one's daughter.
To be honest, both of them were a little touched.
But Wu Qihua knew that no one in the world could violate the imperial edict!
If you violate it, you will be beheaded, but if Prince An violates it, Wu Qihua does not believe that he will be beheaded.
At worst, the emperor would punish him, but his daughter would still be sad and aggrieved.
But if someone can do this, he is really sincere. Could it be that if he marries his daughter to another man, then the man can be so sincere and they can guarantee that the other person will protect his daughter for the rest of his life
In the past, in Ningyuan County, people from official families came to propose marriage, but the person who proposed marriage said that they had nothing to do for three years, so they must take a concubine, and the child would be given to Jingmei to raise or something.
So, since there is such a good candidate for son-in-law in front of him and he is so sincere in asking to marry his daughter, why doesn't he agree
Mrs. Ye glanced at Wu Qihua and saw that her husband-in-law had no objection, so she said: "If Jingmei is also willing to marry the prince, we as parents have no objection either."
Prince An was relieved. He really felt that they didn't want to agree to the marriage, and they didn't mean to take advantage of Qiao.
He bowed deeply: "Thank you, Uncle Wu and Aunt Ye, for making it possible."
When he marries Jingmei, they will be his parents, so he thinks it is appropriate for Prince An to give such a grand gift.
Wu Qihua couldn't help but add: "The imperial edict is not necessary, but I hope that the prince can really do what he said today for the rest of his life. If he violates it, please allow us to take Jingmei home."
Prince An hurriedly said: "Uncle Wu, please don't worry, it won't happen one day. I don't make promises easily, and I never break my promises!"

After Prince An and the Crown Prince left, Mrs. Ye went to Wu Jingmei's courtyard and told the Crown Prince what she had said.
Wu Jingmei didn't expect that he would do this.
"From this point of view, Prince An's eldest son is quite good. Who knows whether a man in this world is good or bad until the end of his life? So who to marry... Jingmei, do you want to marry the eldest son?" After chattering for a while, he finally asked.
Wu Jingmei's face felt a little hot when she heard this. She leaned her head on Ye's shoulder and whispered, "I listen to my parents."
Seeing her daughter's shy look, Mrs. Ye knew that she also liked the prince.
That's right, who doesn't like such a handsome and polite man
"Then my mother told your little girl that she would agree to the marriage."
