Tang Zhen didn't want to hide anything from Ye Zhen, so he told her about Lu Lingzhi's visit that day. Originally, he had retreated because he knew that the emperor had feelings for her. Later, with Lu Lingzhi's encouragement, he regained his confidence. ()
Ye Zhen listened to his words and nodded gently. "I see, then I'll go back first."
"Yao Yao …" Tang Zhen couldn't help but call out to her, "Are you … unwilling?"
"Brother Tang, I want to follow my master to practice medicine in a few days. When I come back … If you still want to marry me, then we can talk about it again." Ye Zhen said. Now, whether she agreed or not, Mo Rongzhan would not agree to let her marry anyone.
She also didn't want to implicate Tang Zhen when she was not sure.
Tang Zhen nodded gently, his mouth cracked into a smile. At least she didn't refuse him now, which proved that he still had a chance.
Ye Zhen, who planned to return to the Lu family to question Lu Lingzhi, did not know that Old Madam Lu was talking to the empress dowager about her marriage.
"… You mean Marquis Jingning and Yao Yao?" When the empress dowager heard Old Madam Lu say that Tang Zhen proposed marriage, she quickly put down the teacup in her hand. "Is this true?"
"It's just a test. It should be that young people like each other and are afraid that the elders will not agree. This official's wife wanted to ask you in these two days. Today is just the right opportunity." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
"Ai jia knows Tang Zhen. He has been with the emperor for several years. He is a very good young man."
Old Madam Lu said with a smile, "Yes, he and Yanzhi are good friends. We also have some understanding. What do you think, Empress Dowager?"
"That's good. Tomorrow, Ai jia will call him into the palace and take a closer look. If he really knows how to cherish, then Ai jia will give them a marriage." The empress dowager covered her mouth and smiled. She really loved Yao Yao and naturally hoped that she would have a good marriage.
"Empress Dowager, there is one more thing …" Old Madam Lu looked at the empress dowager with embarrassment.
The empress dowager said with a smile, "Old Madam, what else can't be said to Ai jia?"
"Although Yao Yao is already a princess, we all hope that she will marry Tang Zhen. We don't want her to …" Old Madam Lu was afraid that saying it would make the empress dowager unhappy, so she couldn't go on.
"Ai jia understands what you mean. The emperor put Tang Zhen in an important position. If he really knows how to cherish and love Yao Yao, Ai jia will let Yao marry him." The empress dowager said with a smile.
Old Madam Lu was very grateful. "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
The two then talked about Tang Zhen's family background and felt that it was more and more suitable for Yao Yao. The more they talked, the happier they were. They almost settled the marriage immediately.
When Old Madame Lu left the palace, the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to ask Aunt Cheng about Tang Zhen. If there were any servants or concubines in his family, she would definitely not agree to this marriage.
Aunt Cheng knew the emperor's thoughts about Ye Zhen, but she didn't have any thoughts now. After all, one was the emperor and the other was a princess. Even if she had such thoughts before, it was impossible now. It only took her less than half a day to find out the situation of Tang Zhen's family.
"Let alone a concubine, he doesn't even have a servant. The personal attendants are all manservants. Empress Dowager, this Marquis Jingning is clean and self-disciplined." Aunt Cheng said with a smile.
The empress dowager felt more and more satisfied. "Go and pass on Ai jia's words. Let Marquis Jingning come to see Ai jia tomorrow."
Aunt Cheng agreed with a smile.

… …
In the study room of the outer courtyard, Lu Lingzhi was reading when he heard the subtle sound of footsteps. He looked up and saw Ye Zhen walking slowly over.
His expression was in a trance for a moment, and the pain in the depths of his heart spread a little bit. There seemed to be two figures alternating in front of him. One was the beautiful Lu Yaoyao, the other was the beautiful Ye Zhen. In his memory, the two seemed to have similar expressions. Sometimes even the tone of voice was the same. He could hardly tell who was who.
Ye Zhen had already arrived in front of Lu Lingzhi, looking at him indifferently.
"Yao Yao?" Lu Lingzhi called out with some uncertainty.
"It seems that your poisoning is getting worse. Can't you even tell who I am?" Ye Zhen asked with a sneer.
Lu Lingzhi smiled bitterly. "Yao Yao, big brother is a little confused. What can I do for you?"
"Why did you mistake me for Ye Zhen? You can't forget her in your heart. Did you do something wrong to her? " Ye Zhen looked at Lu Lingzhi with a faint smile. She absolutely did not believe that he mistook Lu Yaoyao for Lu Yaoyao because he missed her. It must be because he killed her that he felt guilty in his heart. This time, the poisoning made him unable to calm down and control his will, causing him to mistake her for Ye Zhen several times.
"I do owe her." Lu Lingzhi sighed softly and looked up at Ye Zhen with gentle eyes. "Yao Yao, what can I do for you?"
Ye Zhen asked coldly. "That bastard mistook me for Ye Zhen in the carriage. Why did you ask Tang Zhen to propose marriage? Do you feel so uneasy that I live in the Lu Family? "
Lu Lingzhi chuckled. "Yao Yao, you misunderstood. It was Tang Zhen who had been interested in you for a long time. I just mentioned it to Third Uncle for him. He told me a few months ago, but … at that time, you had not yet gone to college, so it was not easy to talk about marriage."
"Whether this is the reason or not, you know very well in your heart." Ye Zhen said faintly. "Don't try to control my life. It's not up to you to marry whoever you want. You look at me every day, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"Yao Yao, what are you talking about?" Lu Lingzhi's gentle smile gradually became cold. He reached out and held Ye Zhen's shoulder. "How could I treat you like this? Don't let your imagination run wild."
Ye Zhen pushed his hand away in disgust. "Don't touch me."
Lu Lingzhi was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to make the little girl in front of him believe him. He wanted to marry her to Tang Zhen for his own good.
"Big brother!" Lu Xiangzhi's voice came from outside the study. Ye Zhen put away her indifferent expression and looked back, just to see Lu Xiangzhi coming in the door. He also saw her. "Hey, Yao Yao, why are you here?"
"Brother." Ye Zhen smiled sweetly. She hadn't met Lu Xiangzhi for many days and missed him a little.
Lu Xiangzhi rubbed Ye Zhen's head skillfully and looked at Lu Lingzhi. "Big brother, the teacher promised to see you tomorrow. Let's go to the Xu family together tomorrow."
Ye Zhen glanced at Lu Lingzhi, wondering why he was looking for Elder Xu at this time.
"Okay, fourth brother, I'll trouble you." Lu Lingzhi nodded with a smile.
Lu Xiangzhi waved his hand. "It's just a piece of cake. Big brother, I'll talk to you later. I have something to say to Yao Yao first."
"Go!" Lu Lingzhi nodded with a smile.
