After a while, Zang Yan walked out of Longxiang Palace in shock.
"how so?"
"How could he be the son of a merchant?"
"It's fine if it's just a merchant nearby. At worst, I can be given a Zhima official position and still be able to enter the princess's mansion..."
But it happened to be the Shang family of Yanchu Kingdom who had no official position but was able to open shops in all the cities.
In Yanchu, merchants also had their children enter the court as officials, but most of them were in the overseas half of the country.
It is said that those who stayed here have not had any children marry into the royal family for decades.
Therefore, even if the Supreme Emperor could persuade the new emperor to grant a marriage and snatch Bo Jiming away from Qin Jiaoxi, if the Shang family did not agree, he would not be able to enter the princess's mansion.
However, if she is willing to marry into a businessman, there may be some hope.
Thinking of this, Zang Yan gritted her teeth and returned to the Queen Mother, telling her Bo Jiming's identity.
"What should I do, Queen Mother? Jiu'er is so sad. From childhood to adulthood, Jiu'er has really grown so big before he finally likes someone. Who would have expected..."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and touched her head kindly: "Don't worry, don't worry Jiu'er, the Queen Mother will help you!"
He's not just a young man.
So what if they are business people?#@$&
The merchant relied on his ability to make a living, and over the years he paid less and less attention to members of the royal family.
A few years ago, the eldest prince fell in love with the legitimate daughter of a branch of the merchant, but she was unwilling to marry her.
For a mere side branch to dare to be so arrogant is a problem that the late emperor was accustomed to.
Now that the previous emperor has been dead for several years, the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, and the new emperor is not familiar with Yanchu's situation, isn't it a good time to deal with that business?
Just a young man, even if he is the legitimate son and future head of the family, is it possible that he can be more powerful than the emperor?%&(&
The next day.
The Ninth Princess did not bother me again.
Qin Jiaoxi was discussing with Bo Jiming whether to take time to return to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
Suddenly, Han Zhan rushed over like a gust of wind: "Hey, boy, come with me!"
When Bo saw clearly that he did not call Qin Jiaoxi, he judged that the matter was not an emergency such as a medical condition.
Looking at the solemn expression on Han Zhan's face, he thought about how troublesome this matter was, and immediately thought of the Ninth Princess.
So he stood up calmly: "What? It's a matter of my life?"
Korean War Conditioning: “How do you know?”
Then he was stunned: "You stinky boy, it seems that this matter is really the trouble you caused yourself? Fortunately, I am worried for you, I didn't expect..."
Bo Jiming interrupted him: "Uncle Han, don't you know me yet?"
He glanced at Qin Jiaoxi calmly before continuing: "Now that I have finally settled down, what trouble can I cause?"
Han Zhan naturally knew what he was thinking about Qin Jiaoxi, even after thinking about it carefully.
What's more, the ninth princess is not a stunning beauty, and the beauty on her face is all supported by the delicious food and drinks in the palace.
If this person were born in an ordinary family and had to do some menial work, I am afraid that even a beautiful girl would not be able to choose that kind of person.
So he calmed down and hummed: "Then it's your face that attracts bees and butterflies!"
Her angry look made her look like a mother-in-law who was defending her daughter against injustice.
Qin Jiaoxi also guessed something at this moment and stood up: "Let's go, I'll go with you!"
Han Zhan was stunned: "Well, girl, just wait here, it's not too much trouble, we'll go back as soon as we go!"
Qin Jiaoxi smoothed his sleeves and said calmly: "Since it's not troublesome, we can go for a walk together when I have nothing to do."
"If it's really troublesome, then I, the princess, can't avoid it, lest others think I'm easy to bully!"
It seems that Bo Jiming was right as he said before. The Ninth Princess will not be able to live up to the title of Ninth Princess if she doesn't make a fuss!
So what has she committed in her life that makes her even harder to get through with the Ninth Princess?
The group followed Han Zhan to Longxi Palace.
When he stepped into the imperial study, he saw the Supreme Emperor sitting at the table playing chess with Meng Yinqin.
The Ninth Princess was very busy serving tea, pouring water and wiping fruits.
When she originally raised her head and saw Han Zhan and Bo Jiming coming over, she raised her little face and smiled sweetly at Bo Jiming.
But the next second, the smile froze when he saw Qin Jiaoxi.
"Why is she here?"
Zang Yan stood up straight and said confidently: "Qin Jiaoxi, this is the royal study, and women in the harem are not allowed to enter!"
Qin Jiaoxi calmly crossed the threshold and asked, "Did my cousin change her gender and become a man?"
Zang Yan's eyes were full of smoke: "What this princess means is that you are not allowed to enter the imperial study without the emperor's summons!"
Just now, the Supreme Emperor clearly asked Doctor Han to invite Bo Jiming, but who asked Qin Jiaoxi to follow him here shamelessly?
Qin Jiaoxi raised her eyebrows: "Summoning? This princess never needs to summon her when she meets her father!"
At the same time, Meng Yinqin also said: "Xi'er doesn't need to be summoned. If she wants to go anywhere, I allow it!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and said kindly to Qin Jiaoxi: "My princess is in this palace, and all she needs is this face as permission to pass. She can go wherever she likes!"
Although he knew that Meng Yinqin's words were meant to silence the Ninth Princess, Qin Jiaoxi was still deeply moved at this moment.
"Father!"
Meng Yinqin waved to her: "Come here Xi'er!"
While pointing at the chess game, he said: "Hurry and help dad take a look at this chess game. Your imperial uncle is so powerful. Dad is no match for him!"
Qin Jiaoxi leaned forward with a smile: "If dad is not your opponent, Xi'er will definitely not be able to do anything either. In this chess game, I'm afraid I have to wait for mom to come to save you!"
Meng Yinqin thought for a while and nodded: "That's true, my Xi'er has been delayed for several years, and there is no one to teach me about my chess skills!"
"When dad is finished with his duties at court, I will make an appointment with Xi'er and come to dad's place to learn something every day!"
The father and daughter started singing and chatting, leaving the Supreme Emperor and the Ninth Princess aside.
The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard as if thinking about the chess game, but in fact he was quite shocked inside.
He also dotes on his daughters. The ninth princess and the eleventh princess have always been able to break one or two rules in front of him.
But that's just the innocuous part.
If they were allowed to go wherever they wanted in the palace, what would happen?
And playing chess is even more impossible.
He could occasionally play a game of chess with the Ninth Princess, and he felt that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
But it is absolutely impossible to teach them chess in person.
With that little time, he might as well go around the harem a few more times and have more sons.
The Ninth Princess stared blankly at the interaction between Meng Yinqin and Qin Jiaoxi. It was an emotion she had never seen before.
It was like complete trust and dependence, but also more like mindless dialogue without any calculation. In short, even if she was alone with her father, she would never be able to speak so freely.
Especially the sound of "Dad" made her feel all sorts of emotions welling up in her heart.
For a moment I didn't know whether I was shocked or jealous.
