At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

As time went by, the poetry reading gradually came to an end.

Everyone stood up and said goodbye. As the guests left, the garden became a little deserted.

"Sister, aren't we leaving yet?" Zheng Jiacheng asked when he saw that Jinbao had no intention of leaving.

"Wait until big brother comes back, then we'll go together." Jin Bao leaned on Yu Yan and played with the jade pendant around his waist.

Zheng Jiacheng looked around and realized that someone was missing. "I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me. Where did Xiaoxiang go?"

"There." Xiao Lin lazily lay on the table and raised his hand to point in a direction.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Xiaoxiang walking towards them with a smile on his face.

Zheng Jiacheng went up to him, put his arm on his shoulder, and asked curiously: "What are you laughing at? Did you find the silver?"

"I guess he picked up a beautiful wife."

Look at his smug look, he must have won the heart of a beautiful woman.

Yu Yan secretly gave him a thumbs up, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She would be the princess's aunt in the future, how could she not be happy.

"Let's go home first. We'll talk about anything when we get back."

Although Jinbao really wanted to know what happened between the two, he also knew that this was not a good place to have a conversation.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly left Prince Gong's Mansion.

When they returned to the Princess's Mansion, the whole family was waiting in the front hall, all of them looked worried, afraid that something might happen to them in Prince Gong's Mansion.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw several people coming back talking and laughing.

"Jinbao, I hope nothing happened to you in Prince Gong's Mansion today." Zhou asked, holding Jinbao's hand.

"Don't worry, grandma. We are all fine. It's just that my eldest brother encountered a little accident." Jinbao smiled mischievously and looked at Xiaoxiang.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiaoxiang with questioning eyes.

Xiaoxiang blushed a little and didn't know where to start, so he could only ask his sister for help.

Jin Bao received his pleading look and said with a smile without beating around the bush: "Big brother has run into someone new today, so the wedding is coming soon. I will have a sister-in-law soon."

"Sister-in-law?"

Wan Niang paused, then showed a look of joy, walked quickly to Xiao Xiang, and said anxiously: "Son, is what your sister said true? Which girl do you like? I will find someone to propose marriage to you right away."

Zhou and the others also looked at him expectantly, wishing they could help him settle his marriage right away.

The Zheng family is large and prosperous, with many sons and even more grandchildren.

The family is now wealthy and has no shortage of money, but in their hearts, the top priority is for their children to marry their loved ones.

Seeing that everyone was surrounding him, Xiaoxiang's face turned red again. He couldn't help but think of Mengyao's courageous, resolute, and fearless appearance when he met her today.

She is not afraid even though she is a princess, so what should I worry about as a man?

"Mother, grandmother, I ran into the Sixth Princess at Prince Gong's Mansion today and fell in love with her at first sight. Can you help me propose marriage?"

After saying this, he looked at them eagerly, his eyes full of earnestness.

When Jinbao and Yuyan heard him say this, they smiled at each other and understood what he meant.

Originally, they were worried that Xiaoxiang was too straightforward, but they didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. It seemed that he was really attracted to the Sixth Princess.

"Ahem...what did you say? Sixth Princess? Ahem...are you daydreaming?"

Boss Zheng had just taken a sip of tea and almost choked himself to death when he heard his words clearly.

After living half his life, he finally understood what it meant to be a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

The sad thing is that this toad is actually his eldest son, and he actually wants to marry the princess. I don’t know who gave him the courage.

Wan Niang also put away the joy on her face and looked at her son with an indescribable look, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

If her son had his eyes on a lady from a noble family, she could still try harder, but if it was a princess, then there would really be no hope at all.

"Xiao Xiang, are you sure that person is the Sixth Princess? Did you recognize the wrong person?" Zhou asked.

The princess lives in the palace and cannot leave the palace easily, so how could she appear in Prince Gong's Mansion?

Xiao Xiang shook his head, his face firm, "I am not mistaken, she is the Sixth Princess Long Mengyao."

The Sixth Princess told him that herself, so how could he admit his mistake?

Zhou was silent. He even knew the name, so it seemed that he had not recognized the wrong person.

She also wanted her eldest grandson to marry his sweetheart, but she was the sixth princess, so how could she marry a commoner?

The atmosphere became a little solemn. Something that should have been a cause for joy turned out not to be a cause for joy.

Seeing this, Jinbao walked over to Zhou, took her arm, leaned against her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry. Big brother and the Sixth Princess love each other. With the help of Brother Long, the Emperor will allow them to be together."

Although the eldest brother has no official title, he is no worse than those young masters from aristocratic families. As long as the emperor truly loves the Sixth Princess, he will not refuse their marriage.

Love each other?

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiaoxiang again.

Wan Niang looked at him in disbelief, "Son, when did you and the Sixth Princess fall in love with each other?"

Xiaoxiang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Today at Prince Gong's Mansion, I expressed my feelings to Mengyao, and Mengyao agreed."

Although this answer was contrary to the facts, for the sake of the Sixth Princess's reputation, he could not let anyone else know, not even his family.

Anyway, as long as the two of them are together, it doesn't matter who takes the initiative.

Everyone's heads were buzzing after hearing this. Who could have thought that by attending a poetry reading he could kidnap a princess to be his wife? This guy actually achieved something he never dared to dream of.

Boss Zheng thought about it and couldn't help but express his concerns, "Even if your marriage with the princess is successful, will you marry into the princess's mansion? Or will the princess marry into our family?"

To him, both situations were not optimistic. He did not want his son to marry into the princess's family, but he was also afraid that his son would marry the princess and have to kowtow to her every day.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this issue. As long as the emperor agrees to their marriage, everything else can be discussed." Jinbao advised.

The princess will definitely have her own mansion after she gets married, but where to live is up to them to decide. She believes that since the Sixth Princess has chosen the eldest brother, she must have considered the future.

Xiaoxiang then explained, "Mengyao said that although her current identity is a princess, her identity after marriage is only my wife."

This is also what touched him the most. He will definitely be extra nice to Mengyao in the future and live up to her feelings.

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much for now. No matter what, it's a good thing that Xiaoxiang has met his true love, and we should be happy." Zhou smiled and patted Xiaoxiang's shoulder.

Lian Jinbao supports the marriage between his eldest grandson and the sixth princess, so they have nothing to worry about. The emperor might issue an edict to grant the marriage one day.
