After Jiang Nanyan came out of Prince Jing's Mansion, he went directly back to Prince Jiang's Mansion!
As soon as they entered the gate of the palace, there were servants waiting at the door, "Welcome the Crown Prince back to the palace. The princess invites the Crown Prince to go to the front hall after he returns to the palace!"
Jiang Nanyan said calmly: "I know!"
After he returned to Beijing from overseas, he was busy with official duties and did not have much time to stay in the mansion. It was not easy for his mother to even see him. She actually sent someone to wait here early today!
It was late spring, and Jiangnan Wild Geese were strolling along the royal palace passageway where purple flowers were blooming. Thinking of the scene just now in Prince Jing's Mansion, Prince Jing actually did not hide his doting on Jingwan in front of him. He thought of Jing Jing.
My lord, I naturally thought of Xinyue. Jiangnan Yanjun's eyes darkened slightly. He should explain some things to Xinyue. As Xinyue's brother, he couldn't let Xinyue sink like this!
In the midst of her thoughts, she had already arrived at the front hall. Princess Jiang was extremely happy to see Jiang Nanyan returning, "Yan'er, you are finally free to see mother today!"
Jiang Nanyan smiled slightly and glanced at the two people next to her mother. One was about the same age as her mother. She was elegant and dressed in a high bun. There was also a girl next to her who was about the same age as Xinyue Jingwan. She was dressed in purple and had bright eyes.
The water is as green as clouds.
Princess Jiang smiled when she saw this, "Yan'er, I'm here to introduce you, this one is the wife of the Minister of Ming Dynasty, and this one is the daughter of the Minister of Ming Dynasty, Ming Sifan!"
It turned out to be the wife and daughter of Mingzhi, the Minister of Rites. Jiangnan Yan nodded slightly and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Mrs. Ming, Miss Ming!" He was busy with official duties and was not very familiar with the families of these important ministers, but he had heard of Ming Sifan.
A beautiful woman with a noble temperament and famous for her wonderful paintings.
Ming Sifan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Ming Sifan has met the prince!"
Jiang Nanyan nodded gently, "Miss Ming, there is no need to be polite!"
When Jiang Nanyan saw them here, he naturally knew his mother's intention, but he didn't want to stay any longer. He said calmly: "Mother, I still have official duties. Mrs. Ming, Miss Ming, please excuse me!"
Princess Jiang saw that Yan'er had finally arrived and was about to leave after meeting her. She looked a little embarrassed and said, "Yan'er, your father has been away from the house all day. Now you are just like your father. The dragon has never seen its head or tail all day long. Come back."
It's been several days, and I haven't seen you much except after greeting my mother on the day I returned home. Today, my mother made an appointment with Mrs. Ming to come to the house for a gathering, so you can't have a meal with your mother?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nanyan's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. When Mrs. Ming saw this, she hurriedly said: "The prince is busy with official duties, unlike me and other women who have nothing to do. Princess, I think it is better for the prince to handle official duties first!"
Jiang Nanyan smiled slightly, "Mrs. Xie Ming is considerate, mother, I'm going out first!"
Princess Jiang had no choice but to agree. After Jiang Nanyan saluted, she slowly withdrew.
Mrs. Ming looked at Jiang Nanyan's beautiful figure as she left, and praised: "Princess Jiang is really well-educated. All the children of the Jiang family are top figures!"
Princess Jiang had an arrogant smile on her face, but her tone was a little helpless, "Mrs. Ming, thank you very much. This prince, like his father, only sees their government affairs. It is not easy for me, the mother, to meet him!"
"
Mrs. Ming consoled her: "Princess, please don't worry too much. A man should naturally put official affairs first. What's more, the prince is young and promising, and his future is limitless!"
Princess Jiang smiled and said: "Mrs. Xie Ming's good words!" But she felt a little sad in her heart. It was obvious that Yan'er saw her intention and didn't want to get too entangled, so she made excuses to avoid it!
Yan'er is getting older, but she has no intention of becoming a concubine. How can she, a mother, not be impatient?
Princes and grandsons of the same age as Yan'er in Beijing have long been surrounded by wives and concubines, with children around their knees. The sons born to concubines in Prince Jiang's palace have also been accompanied by beauties!
However, the most noble-born young master in the family is always alone. Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, not to mention the family of a prince, logically speaking, there is no need to obtain the consent of Yan'er himself, only the prince and her.
The mother can make the decision!
Princess Jiang only had such a son, so she had to put a lot of effort into it. After Yan'er came of age, although she had not yet appointed him as a concubine, she did not know how many innocent and beautiful women were sent to his room, but she never
Without getting Yan'er to look at her, they all rushed out coldly. Princess Jiang was secretly worried that Yan'er seemed to have a mysophobia towards women!
Princess Jiang could force him to marry regardless of his wishes, but how could she force him to do anything about Yan'er's room?
Furthermore, Yan'er has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he is very independent, and others may not be able to force him to do so. When he reaches adulthood, he is as tall as a tree, tall and handsome, as young as the moon, elegant and restrained, and is well-known as an elegant and noble son in the capital.
It’s like Prince Jiang’s style back then!
At that time, Prince Jiang was a passionate and noble son who was famous all over the capital. Yan'er was like his father in everything, but he did not inherit Prince Jiang's suave and merciful temperament. Otherwise, how could a quiet Wan appear out of nowhere now?
After Yan'er became an adult, she had wanted to give Yan'er a concubine several times, but Yan'er's attitude was always lukewarm and she didn't care. She didn't want to force Yan'er too much. Marriage was always a matter of love.
Yue is the best.
But she couldn't wait endlessly, so this time she changed her strategy. Instead of rushing to make Yan'er a concubine, she let Yan'er and Ming Sifan get in touch first!
Ming Sifan, the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ming Dynasty, was born with beauty, intelligence, elegance, and a graceful temperament. She was her chosen concubine of Prince Jiang's house. No matter in terms of wealth, temperament, or appearance, she was worthy of Princess Yan'er!
As long as we find opportunities for them to get in touch, given time, and as long as Yan'er doesn't object, then the marriage can be settled!
Although Yan'er had no obvious interest, Princess Jiang knew her son after all, and she soon felt relieved. It was not surprising that he had such an attitude for the first time, and said with a smile: "Yan'er is like this, he only has business matters in mind, nothing
Household affairs make you laugh!"
Mrs. Ming smiled and said: "Princess Jiang is really too modest. With a young master like Prince Jiang in the palace, she will wake up laughing in her dreams!"
Mrs. Ming and Princess Jiang had a tacit understanding, and Mrs. Ming was also very satisfied with Prince Jiang. Prince Jiang's palace was powerful, and Prince Jiang was one of the best among people. He was under the command of Prince Jing. If Sifan could become Prince Jiang's concubine, she would be considered a great concubine.
It fulfilled her wish to become a mother!
Ming Sifan lowered his eyebrows and remained shy!
Princess Jiang smiled and said, "Unconsciously, it's lunch time. I will arrange for them to pass the meal around. You guys wait a moment!"
Mrs. Ming smiled and said: "Then we will disturb the princess!"
After Princess Jiang left, Mrs. Ming saw Sifan's cheeks turned red and said nothing. She understood clearly in her heart. How could she not know what her daughter's family was thinking?
When Ming Sifan saw Princess Jiang go out, he bit his lip and said, "Mom, you said we came to Prince Jiang's Mansion just to get together with Princess Jiang. It turns out that the drunkard didn't care about drinking!" She is also an extremely smart woman.
The eye contact between her mother and Princess Jiang just now has fallen into her eyes.
Of course Mrs. Ming knew her daughter's noble personality, "Sifan, mother knows that you have always had a very high vision. Your father has chosen a good son-in-law for you several times, but you have rejected them. Mother only has a daughter like you. If you don't want to feel wronged,
How could you let me let you go?"
Ming Sifan thought of the elegant figure of the Crown Prince just now and lowered his eyes shyly!
Mrs. Ming saw it and was very happy. If this marriage between a talented man and a beautiful woman could come true, it would really be a match made in heaven!
★★★
Jiang Nanyan left the main hall and went directly to Jiang Xinyue's bedroom.
Jiang Xinyue was admiring the lotuses by the lotus pond. When she saw her brother coming, she was a little happy, but also a little guilty. Her brother was not in the capital during this period. I wonder if he knew about these things that happened in the capital?
After Jiang Nanyan sat down, before she could speak, Jiang Xinyue said angrily: "Brother, you finally came back, but it's still the same as before. You can't see anyone every day, and you don't know what you are busy with!"
Jiang Nanyan smiled faintly, "My brother has been away from Beijing for so long, and now that he is back, he will naturally be busy with affairs in the court, which your daughter's family will not be interested in!"
Jiang Xinyue asked the maid to bring tea to her brother and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard from the maids that the wife and young lady of Ming Shangshu Mansion came to our palace today!"
Jiang Nanyan smiled faintly and changed the subject without any trace, "Then why didn't you go to the front hall?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head and said, "Mother didn't let me go!"
Jiangnan Yan sipped tea lightly without paying any attention to it.
Seeing her brother's indifferent expression, Jiang Xinyue smiled and asked, "Has your brother visited Jingwan since he came back?"
Jiangnan Yan nodded gently and said calmly, "Been there!"
After the maid served the tea, she quietly retreated, leaving only Jiang Nanyan and Jiang Xinyue by the fragrant lotus pond.
Jiang Nanyan looked at Xinyue in front of her, Qiushui Yiren, who was extremely beautiful, delicate and charming, and finally made up her mind that it was time for Xinyue to get to know Jingwan. Xinyue's impression of Jingwan was still the same as before.
He believed that Jingwan was just an unlearned, ignorant and vulgar businesswoman, and that Prince Jing's love for Jingwan was only based on the wealth of Jinxiu Villa, which is the richest in the world!
Jiang Xinyue looked at her brother with a strange expression and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Nanyan stood up and stood by the pond, with a lonely back. Jiang Xinyue was startled. She had never seen such a brother before, so she couldn't help but follow her brother to the edge of the lotus pond. The clear waves vaguely illuminated the clothes of the two people.
"Brother, what do you want to say?" Jiang Xinyue keenly guessed that what her brother was going to say must be related to herself, and it must be related to Prince Jing!
Jiang Xinyue's heartbeat quickened and her lips pursed tightly. Although this older and brooding brother had always loved her very much, she had never been able to see through him!
Jiang Nanyan looked at the budding hibiscus flowers in front of her, and was silent for a long time before speaking lightly, "Xinyue, have you seen Jingwan recently?"
Jiang Xinyue felt a little guilty and said: "Not long ago, Zhilan and I went to Prince Jing's Mansion to visit Jingwan!"
Jiang Nanyan slowly turned around, stared into Jiang Xinyue's eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Then have you seen Prince Jing?"
