"Jin You?"
Imperial Concubine Li chuckled, "Child, I was wondering who it was to make you so angry. It's not like you don't understand what sort of background Jin You has. He's the child of a palace maid, and he's not doted on by His Majesty. What sort of trouble could he cause?"
"Son understands, but I'm just angry."
"What's there to be angry about. Listen to mother. Your father Emperor has eight sons, and any one of them has a chance of ascending to the throne. Only Jin You is impossible.
As long as you can obtain the support of the general, it's the same as obtaining the position of crown prince.
But this general is famous for being loyal to His Majesty. That's why that Zheng Shuxian is the most important. As long as you can marry Zheng Shuxian, you will be able to sit firmly as crown prince. Regardless of whether or not you're happy right now, you need to properly curry favor with that Zheng Shuxian. Do you understand? "
"Son is a prince; however, you want me to lower myself to curry favor with that Zheng Shuxian. It's truly infuriating."
"What's so difficult about that?" Imperial Concubine Li unhappily poked the third prince's head, "Silly child, if you can obtain the position of crown prince by currying favor with Zheng Shuxian, do you still not know what's more important?"
Thinking of the position of crown prince, the third prince could only nod and say, "Son understands."
For the sake of the position of crown prince, even if he did not like Zheng Shuxian, so what?
Seeing the third prince's sullen appearance, Imperial Concubine Li, as his mother, felt uncomfortable, thus she added, "After you ascend to the throne, you will be the most respected man in the world. What sort of woman can you not have? Why do you need to mind a single Zheng Shuxian?"
Imperial Concubine Li's words were hinting that after the third prince ascended to the throne, he could do whatever he wanted with Zheng Shuxian.
The third prince immediately came to a realization, and a smile appeared on his face, "Imperial Mother, don't worry. Son will definitely properly curry favor with that Zheng Shuxian."
So what if he did curry favor now. When he ascended to the throne and became the emperor, it would be time for him to hold his head high.
During the half a month that she was grounded, Jiujiu obediently stayed at home to learn the four arts. She also learned embroidery, giving everyone in the family a pouch.
When he received Jiujiu's pouch, General Zheng only felt that his heart had melted into a puddle of water because of his youngest daughter.
General Zheng only felt that there was no girl more adorable, sensible, and well-behaved than his youngest daughter on this dead street.
In fact, a month ago, he had said that his youngest daughter was unbearably naughty and didn't act like a girl at all.
Sure enough, the filter of familial love was the most fatal.
Jiujiu had just been released by General Zheng for two days when she received an invitation from Commandery Princess Chang 'an to attend the spring banquet.
Coincidentally, in his previous life, Commandery Princess Chang 'an was Zheng Wei' an's wife.
Although Zheng Wei 'an was a straight man, he was the same as General Zheng when it came to doting on his wife. He had a very good relationship with Commandery Princess Chang' an. They were the famous model couple in the capital.
Because Zheng Wei 'an doted on Zheng Shuxian, his younger sister, Commandery Princess Chang' an, as his sister-in-law, naturally doted on Zheng Shuxian as well.
Commandery Princess Chang 'an could choose Zheng Wei' an, a straight man, among countless suitors, which showed that she had sharp eyes.
Therefore, after seeing Zheng Shuxian get along with the Third Prince once, Commandery Princess Chang 'an told Zheng Shuxian that the Third Prince was not interested in her, and she and the Third Prince would suffer sooner or later.
However, at that time, Zheng Shuxian's heart was devoted to the Third Prince. How could she tolerate other things in her eyes?
Commandery Princess Chang 'an's kind advice became a harsh sound in her ears. She didn't listen to it, but gradually alienated Commandery Princess Chang' an.
Commandery Princess Chang 'an only had a sister-in-law's affection for Zheng Shuxian. She had already persuaded Zheng Shuxian with kind words. Since Zheng Shuxian didn't listen to it, she couldn't blame her.
What happened later also showed Commandery Princess Chang 'an's vision.
Commandery Princess Chang 'an also sent an invitation to Zheng Shuxian, but at that time, Zheng Shuxian was intimate with the Third Prince, so she didn't attend the banquet.
This time, it was Jiujiu. She naturally wanted to see her future sister-in-law.
Because Zheng Wei 'an and Commandery Princess Chang' an would get married one year later in the previous life, Jiujiu wanted to speed up her progress, so she specially asked Zheng Wei 'an to send her.
To attend the banquet, of course, they couldn't ride a horse. Zheng Wei 'an specially asked the housekeeper to prepare a comfortable carriage, which was filled with Jiujiu's favorite snacks and tea. He personally drove the carriage to send her to attend the banquet.
The banquet was held in a yard, and there were some Misses and Childes invited by Commandery Princess Chang 'an.
Although there was a strict rule for men and women, if two people liked each other, they could leave a keepsake and directly bring the keepsake from the other party to propose marriage.
The banquet almost attracted all the young talents in the capital. Therefore, there were beautiful women of the right age chatting with men in low voices everywhere, and occasionally there would be one or two chuckles.
And when Zheng Wei 'an saw those men talking to women at the banquet, he was instantly alarmed. He suddenly realized that the banquet was not only a place to chat with friends, but also a place to go on blind dates.
When he thought that his cute, sensible, and beautiful little sister might be cheated by those unknown men, Zheng Wei 'an's eyes widened.
Originally, Zheng Wei 'an only wanted to send Jiujiu to the banquet and then go to the martial arts field, but he immediately turned into the most loyal guard, standing beside Jiujiu.
Once a man wanted to strike up a conversation with Jiujiu, he would be stared away by Zheng Wei 'an's man-eating eyes.
Jiujiu, "…"
As the host of this banquet, Commandery Princess Chang 'an was naturally responsible for the task of receiving everyone.
Seeing Jiujiu coming, Commandery Princess Chang 'an immediately smiled and greeted her. Looking at Jiujiu, she said, "You must be Miss Zheng."
Jiujiu smiled slightly, "Hello, Commandery Princess."
Commandery Princess Chang 'an chuckled, "You can just call me Zhiyuan."
Commandery Princess Chang 'an's maiden name, Mo Zhiyuan.
Commandery Princess Chang 'an was her future sister-in-law, so how could Jiujiu directly call her Zhiyuan? She smiled and said, "Commandery Princess Chang' an is older than me, so I will call you Sister Zhiyuan."
Commandery Princess Chang 'an chuckled, "Miss Zheng's mouth really knows how to scare people. This is?"
Mo Zhiyuan looked at Zheng Wei 'an who was standing beside Jiujiu, her beautiful eyes flashing with curiosity.
From the moment Jiujiu entered the banquet, she had noticed Zheng Wei 'an. Tall stature, a face full of righteousness, and a pair of sharp eyes. Compared to those romantic writers outside who were thinner than women, Zheng Wei' an was more attractive to her.
Hearing Mo Zhiyuan ask about her elder brother, Jiujiu hurriedly pointed at Zheng Wei 'an and introduced him to Mo Zhiyuan, "Replying to Commandery Princess, this is my elder brother."
Zheng Wei 'an was usually the most impatient of girls beating around the bush. Hearing Jiujiu introduce him to Mo Zhiyuan, Zheng Wei' an instantly had a headache. Originally, he wanted to stay by Jiujiu's side to guard against those who wanted to strike up a conversation with Jiujiu, but he immediately said, "Well, I am going to the martial arts field, I will come to pick you up later."
