Ji Ruyan waited for a long time but still didn't hear Shilang Zhong's reply, so she smiled and said, "Master Zhong, do you want to discuss it with Mrs. Zhong? After all, it concerns Miss Zhong's reputation, and I can't say anything as an outsider.
”
Her words made Zhong Shilang look at her gratefully, knowing that she was giving her time to think about it, and she didn't mean any danger.
"The princess will have some tea in the study first. I'll come back when I go."
"Lord Zhong, do whatever you want."
Ji Ruyan smiled calmly.
Watching Shilang Zhong leave the study, Ji Ruyan casually rummaged through the books on the bookshelf and looked at the essays written here and there.
……
In Zhong Qiao's boudoir, Mrs. Zhong caressed Zhong Qiao's face lovingly, "Qiao'er, have you told the princess?"
"Mother, I have already told the princess that I like the prince."
Zhong Qiao held her hand and spoke softly.
Mrs. Zhong smiled knowingly, "As long as you are happy, then follow your heart. Happiness must be held in your hands, that is true happiness."
"Mother..."
Zhong Qiao felt like she wanted to cry. Her mother had given birth to a few gray hairs these days because of her.
My father was so anxious that he didn't sleep well for several days, and the corners of his mouth were blistered.
They are all anxious and angry because of their own affairs.
While mother and daughter were saying some thoughtful words, Mr. Zhong rushed in hurriedly.
"Qiao'er! Madam? Since you are here, I don't need to look for you anymore. Just listen to me. The princess just told me a way, but the matter is very important. I think I still need to discuss it with you."
Decision."
As soon as Mr. Zhong came in, he immediately whispered the princess's words to the two daughters.
Mrs. Zhong was silent, while Zhong Qiao blushed.
Seeing the mother and daughter, Zhong Shilang didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help asking anxiously, "What do you think? If you don't agree, I can go back to the princess."
Mrs. Zhong did not look at Minister Zhong, but looked at her daughter, "Qiao'er, what do you think?"
"I do!"
There is determination in Zhong Qiao's eyes.
Zhong Shilang said from the side, "In case Prince Yan doesn't want to marry you, then you can..."
Zhong Qiao's eyes were clear, "Father, if the prince doesn't want to marry me, it is also my daughter's fate. Rather than being manipulated into becoming a concubine in the royal family, my daughter would rather give it a try! However, this approach makes her parents look ugly.
Guang, my daughter is unfilial!"
Mrs. Zhong hugged her gently and said, "Silly daughter, you are our daughter, how can we blame you? It's your parents' incompetence that put you in such a predicament."
The implication is that I blame myself for not being able to protect her throughout her life.
Zhong Shilang felt a pang in his heart. His wife's words were not the bitterness in his heart.
On the surface, he is a respectable minister, but in front of the royal family, he is at the mercy of others.
Zhong Shilang comforted him, "Qiao'er, don't think too much. As long as you are willing, your father will definitely help you! Besides, the princess also said that as long as you are willing to fake a pregnancy to escape the draft, you will definitely be successful as you wish."
Marry into Prince Yan's palace and become the royal concubine of Prince Yan."
"Father..."
Zhong Qiao cried, feeling even more guilty for her feelings towards her two elders.
For their own affairs, parents can be said to be heartbroken.
Zhong Shilang stepped forward and patted her shoulder, "Okay, since you all agree, then I will go back to the princess to discuss how to arrange it. The draft will be in a few days. If you don't hurry up
I have to do it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hurry up.”
