Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "In this case, if Gu doesn't get married early, it will delay Lord Shen's good marriage.
If you want me to get married as soon as possible, you need to share my worries and take control of the court so that I don’t have any worries, so that I can go to Nanyue to propose marriage with peace of mind."
Shen Huaiting rolled up his sleeves and bowed and said, "I will do my best to live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's expectations."
"alright."
Yuan Chen helped him up and said, "It's rare for you and Miss Wang to see each other, so I won't bother you to talk to each other."
With that said, he took Xiao Jialan's hand and left.
After leaving Shen's Mansion, Xiao Jialan said: "You really guessed it right. The Wang family really bet the honor and disgrace of the family on their daughter's marriage."
Yuan Chen said: "Not just the Wang family, who among the officials in the court is not like this?"
Xiao Jialan thought that the most important reason why Yuan Chen lost the hearts of all officials in his previous life was that he blocked the officials' desire to rely on their daughter to achieve success.
A decree not to establish a harem made the court officials quite dissatisfied with him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jialan couldn't help but become worried again. She looked at Yuan Chen and said: "How are you going to break their minds? Otherwise, they will lose their hearts like in the previous life."
Yuan Chen sighed, stretched out his hand to touch her head and said, "Why are you thinking so wildly again? You don't want me to lose my heart, do you want me to have a wide harem and hug you from left to right?"
"I don't allow it."
Xiao Jialan pouted and said in a domineering tone: "You can only be mine."
Yuan Chen suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Well, it's yours. If you dare to push me to others, see how I teach you a lesson."
He held the person in his arms and said: "Don't worry, I lost to Yuan Hao due to my incompetence in my previous life. Now Yuan Hao is dead and Han Yan's family has been eliminated.
The disobedient old ministers in the court have almost been dealt with, and of the remaining ones, I don’t think anyone who has the eyesight dares to find trouble with you?"
Listening to her protective words, Xiao Jialan felt comforted in her heart. She said: "August 15th. In our previous life, we were 10% relatives on August 15th."
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's still not too late."
Now that the grass is growing in March and the orioles are flying, there is still half a year left for him to go to Nanyue to ask for a wife, and he gets her married in a glorious manner.
A month later, everything in the court was settled, and Shen Huaiting was firmly seated as prime minister.
The news that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to Nanyue to propose marriage caused quite a stir in the capital.
Fortunately, all the officials knew what was going on and no one objected. On the day of the trip, there was a huge procession, all of which were betrothal gifts prepared by His Royal Highness.
This trip was escorted by Mu Rufeng, accompanied by Ye Jinming, and Shen Huaiting was responsible for all the affairs of the court.
The carriage left the capital under the escort of the people. Xiao Jialan sat in the carriage, feeling a little excited.
After waiting for two lifetimes, she can finally go home to meet her brother. I wonder if her brother will like the husband she has chosen?
On this trip, Xin Ruyi and Su Xinyue also accompanied them. The three girls were riding in a carriage, while Yuan Chen and others were riding horses.
Su Xinyue pulled Xiao Jialan to tell interesting stories about Nanyue, and Xin Ruyi listened with great interest.
The group of people seemed to be traveling, walking and stopping. On the fifth day, they finally arrived at the junction of Beichen and Nanyue, which was the southern border where Mu Rufeng's father guarded.
