"Miss, please slow down." The carriage had just stopped, but before it had completely come to a stop and the driver hadn't had time to get the stool, Hu Shanxiang got off the carriage and walked into the door at a quick pace.

Hu Shanxiang had been thinking for a long time on the way, but she couldn't figure out why Zhu Zhanji came to Jining. She only had an immature idea: he couldn't possibly come to see her, right? Impossible, impossible, he and Sun Ruoji were deeply in love, and Sun Ruoji had also entered the palace, so let's just lock them up together, why did he come here?

"Miss, this is a letter from Miss He."

"When did you arrive?" Hu Shanxiang took it.

"Just delivered."

Hu Shanxiang opened it and took a look. There was a line of words on it, "I don't know what happened in the palace. Sun Ruoji was suddenly given to the second son of the King of Han, His Royal Highness Qi. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell seriously ill. The East Palace announced that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to rest and has not been seen for a long time."

Hu Shanxiang complained in her heart, what is the point of resting? Now people are not in the capital, and they come to Jining. Wait, who is Sun Ruoji marrying? The son of the King of Han, isn't that Zhu Zhanji's cousin? Such explosive news.

Could it be that Zhu Zhanji's wife was robbed by his cousin? Hahahaha, let her laugh for a while. After Hu Shanxiang was happy, she thought carefully. Could it be that Zhu Zhanji ran here because he was hurt by love? Sun Ruoji ran away and came to her, what a scumbag.

Lingzhi looked at Hu Shanxiang's expression, which was sometimes happy and sometimes disgusted. She wondered if the girl was possessed.

"Lingzhi, take the pastries for grandma and go visit her." After calming down, Hu Shanxiang prepared to tell her grandmother what happened today.

"Yes." Lingzhi realized that the person she met today was not the attendant of the strange young man she met in the capital before. When she came back, the girl asked her to find the things that the young man had given her before. Later, those things were not seen. How did they come to Jining?

"Grandma, I bought the cakes you asked me to buy. Can you see if they are these?"

"Yes, this is the taste." Mrs. Hu nodded, picked it up and tasted it, "Hurry up and sit down."

"That's good." Hu Shanxiang sat next to the old lady.

"Have the things been returned?" asked the old lady.

"Well, I went back."

"You look like you are worried about something. What happened?" The old lady saw that Hu Shanxiang was a little depressed.

"I have indeed encountered some problems and I don't know what to do. So I came to my grandmother for help." Hu Shanxiang said as the old lady said.

"Oh, is there really something? Then tell me." The old lady just guessed it, but she didn't expect that there really was something.

Hu Shanxiang looked around, and the old lady understood and asked everyone to leave.

"You can say it now."

Hu Shanxiang showed the letter she had just received to the old lady. "This... is indeed unexpected. Didn't you say before that this Miss Sun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are... How could this be possible?"

"I don't know either. According to my granddaughter's previous experience, although Sun did not become the Crown Prince's Consort directly, she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a long-term affection for each other and their love was extremely deep. But the current situation is too different from before, so I don't know what's going on?" Hu Shanxiang did not expect that in history, Zhu Zhanji was extremely infatuated with Sun Ruoji, which was a preference that had to be acknowledged in history books. Could it be that she had traveled to a fake Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruoji were no longer together? Then she didn't know what would happen next.

"Fortunately we are back, these things..."

"This is another thing my granddaughter wants to tell you. On my way to the Du Mansion today, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He came to Jining and seemed to live next door to the Du family."

"What?" The old lady looked even more surprised than when she read the letter just now. She should have been thankful that they were back, as they were so far away from the capital and would be less involved. But why did they come here, at this critical juncture when the Du family was proposing marriage, and live next door? It gave her a headache just thinking about it.

"He came to see you, did he say anything to you?"

"No, I didn't see him in person, but his personal eunuch greeted me and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also here."

The old lady thought for a long time and said something that Hu Shanxiang had never thought of before, "Xu'er, do you think it is possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has started over again just like you?"

"No way..." Hu Shanxiang said unconfidently.

"How do you explain these differences from your experience?"

"Grandmother is right. It's not impossible. But even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could start over, he should stop me from entering the palace and make up for his regret by letting Sun Ruoji become the Crown Prince's Consort."

"That's true. It's weird anyway."

"The main thing is that we don't know what the Crown Prince is doing in Jining?"

"If, grandma means if, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here for you, and now there is no Sun family standing between you, would you?"

"I..." Hu Shanxiang was suddenly asked this question and didn't know how to answer for a moment. If she knew before that Zhu Zhanji had a lover in his heart, Sun Ruoji, who was incomparable to anyone, she would definitely not be willing. But if Sun Ruoji was not in the middle, "If there is no Sun, there will be someone else. He is the Crown Prince, and his identity is destined to have a whole harem."

"That means they are longing to be together for the rest of their lives." The old lady grasped the key point at once.

"That's too difficult. There is no man in the world who is not fickle. Being together for life is just a foolish dream. I just hope that at least I can get the respect of my husband and treat him with respect." In a feudal dynasty, Hu Shanxiang would not have such a naive idea of ​​being together for life. She also did not think that she had the ability to make an ancient man do this.

"It's not impossible. The eldest son of the Du family is a very good candidate. You may have heard that the Du family has sent people to propose marriage several times. It's a great opportunity. Tell me what you think." The old lady wanted to hear what she thought.

"Grandmother, do you agree with the Du family?"

"The Du family is a good choice, but I don't know if your father will agree. You know, he still wants you to marry into the rich family. But if you think it's okay, grandma will help you."

"The family tradition of the Du family is indeed very attractive to me, but this still depends on what Mr. Du is like. I have only met him once, but the impression I had was okay. I can't comment on the rest."

"So if I let you two spend more time together, do you think it's feasible?"

"Aren't these unmarried men and women a bit inappropriate?" Hu Shanxiang always felt that in this era, blind marriages arranged by parents and matchmakers could still get along.

"What's wrong with this? It's just a matter of meeting more often. There will always be an elder to take care of them, so there won't be any trouble."

“That’s not impossible.” Isn’t this just the ancient version of blind date?
