A thought flashed through Xie Mingxi's mind. She was a little surprised at first, but soon it turned into a smile that disappeared in her eyes: "If you have anything to do, it doesn't matter if you say it."
Ye's mother then plucked up the courage and said, "Jingzhi is already twenty-one this year, and he has reached the age to get married. He has found someone he likes, and I want to ask the princess to be a matchmaker."
The smile in Xie Mingxi's eyes deepened, and she said slowly: "What a coincidence. Two days ago, Mr. Yang went to ask Master to marry Miss Yang. Unexpectedly, today you came to ask me to be a matchmaker for Ye Changshi."
Ye Mu: "..."
Mother Ye obviously didn't know that Mrs. Yang had gone to ask Mr. Gu, but Xie Mingxi suddenly revealed it, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Ye Qiuniang couldn't help but open her mouth again: "Mom, the princess already knows what's going on, so don't hesitate. Just open your mouth and ask the princess to protect your match."
This is true.
For the sake of her son's life-long event, Ye's mother couldn't care about anything else and bowed and bowed: "To be honest, Princess, Jing Zhi's lover is none other than Miss Yang."
"Miss Yang is smart, capable, and beautiful. The two of them met on the way to Shu. After arriving in Shu, they often had the opportunity to meet. As time went by, they developed feelings for each other."
"Jing Zhi is too shy to open his mouth to ask His Highness, King of Shu, to protect his matchmaking. As my own mother, I have no choice but to shamelessly come to ask for help from the princess today."
Ye Jingzhi, Yang Ningxue.
One is Xinke Tanhua, a fifth-rank feudal prince Changshi.
One is the master's daughter, and now she is also a master in Gu's academy.
In terms of background, the two of them are very similar. They both lost their fathers at a young age and came from poor families. In terms of age, Yang Ningxue is one year older than Ye Jingzhi, so they are considered compatible. In terms of looks, they are both very outstanding, so they are suitable.
The only thing that is inappropriate is...
"You all know what happened to Miss Yang back then." Xie Mingxi looked at Ye Qiuniang and her daughter with a calm expression: "Don't you mind at all?"
The news of Yang Ningxue being insulted by Xie Yuanting has not been spread out. But Ye Qiuniang knows it all. Presumably, Ye Mu and Ye Jingzhi have already learned about the past events from Ye Qiuniang.
Mother Ye had obviously thought about it many times, so she opened her mouth and said: "What happened back then is no wonder Miss Yang. It was all thanks to the eldest young master..."
After all, they are brothers and sisters. It is not appropriate to criticize Xie Yuanting in front of Princess Shu.
Ye Mu paused and was about to mumble, but Xie Mingxi had already taken over the words: "Xie Yuanting got interested and wanted to embarrass me and did such shameless things. Yang Ningxue is indeed innocent."
"Not many people know about this old incident. Now that we are in Shu, no one will mention it."
"It's just that once Ye Changshi and Yang Ningxue decide to get married, there's no guarantee that someone with a good tongue will tell old stories about the past. When the time comes, will you have any concerns in your hearts and vent your anger on Yang Ningxue?"
The last words are direct and sharp.
Ye Mu responded without hesitation: "I have already thought about what the princess said. Since I took the initiative to ask the princess to be a matchmaker today, I will not be afraid of any gossip."
Ye Qiuniang also said: "I asked my brother privately, and he has made it clear to me that he doesn't mind these old things and will not marry anyone other than Miss Yang."
"Please, Princess, make this couple happy!"
Xie Mingxi looked at Ye Qiuniang and her daughter intently for a moment, then said slowly: "Okay, you all remember what I said today. If Yang Ningxue is treated poorly because of this matter in the future, I will not sit idly by and ignore it."
This is a clear statement that he will support Yang Ningxue.
Yang Ningxue's natal family only has one biological mother, which is a bit weak. Now that she has the support of Princess Shu, it's different.
Ye Mu and Ye Qiuniang looked at each other, not worried but happy, and agreed together.
…
On this side, Master Yang also found Chief Gu in private and revealed the original commission of the matter.
"...I don't have the nerve to speak out in front of the princess. Ningxue's crush is Ye Changshi. The two of them are interested in each other, and Ye Changshi also knows about the past and doesn't mind."
Gu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Ming Xi was right. You really, honestly speaking, have nothing to hide."
Master Yang's face was slightly heated: "This marriage is a matter of Ningxue's high level. I'm afraid that if I tell you bluntly, the princess will look down on Ningxue."
Gu Shanchang couldn't stop laughing: "You just think too much. Mingxi is only happy to know about such a good thing."
After a pause, he smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, you are about to have a wonderful son-in-law."
Master Yang was extremely satisfied with this marriage. Hearing this, he smiled and rolled his eyes.
Ye Jingzhi achieved his ambition at a young age, but he was not arrogant at all and had a gentle and steady temperament.
My daughter has experienced many ups and downs. In the future, it is time for all the hardships to be over.
…
"What?" Sheng Hong was surprised when he heard this: "Ye Jingzhi and Yang Ningxue? They are actually interested in each other?"
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Actually, when Master Yang opened his mouth that day, I had a vague premonition. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right."
Sheng Hong thought for a while and also laughed: "Both of them have spent their time together. One is an old girl and the other is an old bachelor. If they see each other right, they will make a perfect couple."
The twenty-one-year-old Ye Jingzhi was lucky. It would be okay if the man was older, but Yang Ningxue was considered an "old girl" in everyone's eyes. This marriage was undoubtedly a high-end marriage for Yang Ningxue.
It is true that Ye Jingzhi was born in a poor family, but now he is a serious official. When Yang Ningxue married into the Ye family, she was a fifth-grade official.
"Such a good marriage cannot be missed." Xie Mingxi smiled knowingly: "That's why Mr. Yang risked his life to find the master."
Mrs. Yang loved her daughter as much as her life, so she simply sacrificed her face for the sake of Yang Ningxue's lifelong happiness.
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to secure a match and make a couple happy?"
"It feels pretty good." Xie Mingxi also raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I have been busy since I came to Shu. Now that there is such a happy event, it makes me feel quite good."
Isn't it?
It is always a joyful thing when lovers finally get married.
What's more, Ye Jingzhi, that silly boy, had always been secretly in love with Xie Mingxi and refused to get married. Now, he finally thought about it. He can also let go of this little thought.
Sheng Hong laughed happily.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong keenly: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Mingxi is smart and sharp, and has no choice. The only shortcoming is probably that she is quite slow towards her admirers. She never knows Ye Jingzhi's teenage thoughts.
Of course Sheng Hong refused to tell the truth and said casually: "How could this happen? We husband and wife are honest with each other and never have any secrets." Then he quickly changed the subject: "Let them settle the marriage first, and then let them settle down after we move into the palace."
