As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and said to her ear: "If it were in Nanyue, then I would be envious of Gu for marrying a good wife."
Xiao Jialan felt that what he said was quite reasonable. She no longer struggled with this issue and asked: "Shen Huaiting was named Prime Minister. Didn't the ministers in the court make things difficult for you?"
Yuan Chen held her hand and walked back and said: "How could they not be in trouble? It's just that I hold their handle in my hand, so they don't dare to come openly."
Xiao Jialan said: "If you don't dare to come openly, then come secretly. In other words, they may cause trouble for Shen Huaiting?"
Yuan Chen said: "If Shen Huaiting wants to secure this position, he must face it alone. Don't worry, he can handle it."
Xiao Jialan nodded and said, "You like Shen Huaiting not just because of his talent, right?
Actually, you don’t need to be in such a hurry, you can be promoted again in three to five years.”
Yuan Chen said: "Aren't I thinking about our son?
If the little girl he likes really becomes Shen Huaiting's daughter, as a father, I have to let his father-in-law occupy a high position.
Moreover, I plan to let Shen Huaiting be Yi'er's teacher in the future, so that he and the little girl will have many opportunities to get along, right?
Shen Huaiting can wait three to five years before becoming a marquis or prime minister, but do you think the Wang family can wait? If they don't give the Wang family some sweetness, they can't decide who to marry their daughter to?"
Xiao Jialan felt that Yuan Chen was really thoughtful. They didn't know whether the girl would be born in the Mu family or the Shen family, so Yuan Chen had already made preparations and paved the way for his son.
She was so moved that she asked Yuan Chen, "What if that girl is no longer here?"
"Jialan."
Yuan Chen held her hand and said seriously: "She will come back, and so will our Yi'er."
Xiao Jialan nodded and heard Yuan Chen say: "It's useless to think about this now. How to please my uncle and let him marry you to me is the most important thing.
You said Chu Heng wouldn’t be more jealous and say bad things about me when he goes back, right?”
Xiao Jialan was amused by him and said, "Why do you think my brother doesn't like you?"
Yuan Chen said: "How can my uncle look down on his brother-in-law? And I am the prince of Beichen. Your brother will definitely look down on me."
Xiao Jialan smiled and said: "As long as I like him, don't always think nonsense. The Yuan Chen I know has always been a confident person."
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right."
He said: "I gave Shen Huaiting three months. When he secures his position as prime minister, I will send you back, up to three months."
"good."
Xiao Jialan responded, and the two of them happily headed towards the Duke's Mansion.
Twilight time.
The number one scholar who was parading around the street came back. Shen Huaiting and Shen Chi got off their horses and saw Mu Rufeng smiling at them and cupping their hands and saying, "The two Masters Shen are really in a good mood today."
Shen Huaiting and Shen Chi hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "Brother Mu, please stop teasing us."
Mu Rufeng said: "Where is the joke? You two are now important ministers in the court, and we will be colleagues in the future."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and sat down and said, "Come on, my mother has prepared a banquet for you to celebrate."
When the two entered the house, they saw Mu Xuechu running over. She smiled and said, "Congratulations to both Masters Shen."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Chi, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Shen Chi looked at her, then reached out to take the flower branch from the official hat on his head, put it on Mu Xuechu's head and said, "I wanted to give this flower branch to you when we were on the street just now."
