Remarry 9,000 Years Old

When Ning Su brought the little prince back home, the female guests had already arrived and were ready to eat.

Shen Nanqiao is very good at dealing with people and he manages to keep everyone in good stead.

Even the eldest princess, who was known for her picky nature, was being served by two great martial artists who had just debuted. She felt very comfortable and had an expression of approval on her face.

This kind of banquet usually lasts from noon to evening. After the meal, everyone goes out to have fun. When the ladies get together, they just gossip.

Whose family has married a concubine? Whose family has kept a mistress?

Shen Nanqiao was well aware of the things going on in the rear quarters, so he came up with something unique and specially set up a place to vent his grievances.

These ladies finally found a channel to vent their emotions. They felt like fish in water and treated her like a family member.

Shen Nanqiao was naturally well prepared. Based on his memory of each family's backyard from his previous life, he taught the ladies how to deal with it one by one.

"The concubine is pregnant? That's fine. Isn't there a favored concubine in your house who has no children? Just adopt the child into the concubine's name. And you don't have to show up in person. Let the concubine go by herself. You can just sit back and watch the fight."

"Master, you have taken a fancy to a prostitute? Her background is not worthy of being in a noble house. When you return home today, tell your master that I heard a rumor that the emperor intends to promote her, so at this critical moment, it is better to stop all the mess outside."

"You want to make my aunt a noble concubine? According to the laws of the Great Chu, any concubine who has not made any achievements cannot be made a noble concubine. Just because she has no children, you can forget about it. Why are you worrying about it?"

After this round of negotiations, many mistresses became very open with Shen Nanqiao and treated her like a close friend.

"Mrs. Pingyang is indeed very knowledgeable. Her words have enlightened us."

Originally, they were only 50% friends because of face, but now they were 100% friends, so they kept talking to her.

At this time, Madam Liu quietly reported that Ning Su had brought the prince, so Shen Nanqiao temporarily slipped out under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Although it is still midwinter, the weather is nice today. The sky is bright and the warm sunlight shines on my face. For no reason, I feel a bit like it is spring.

The little prince was being bored in the study room. When he saw Shen Nanqiao coming in through the curtain, his eyes lit up.

"Is there anything delicious or fun?"

Shen Nanqiao turned around and told Madam Liu to get some food.

"As for food and drink, there is nothing in the palace. Why bother coming to my house?" Because of their familiarity, Shen Nanqiao spoke without so many taboos. "Aren't you here to see the future Crown Princess today?"

The prince was young after all, and his ears turned red when he heard this, but he still remained stubborn.

"Who said that? This is the first time the Otomo family has hosted a banquet in recent years. I just came here to have a free meal."

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but tease him.

"But the guests I'm inviting today are all female. Since the prince is here to eat, it wouldn't be appropriate to arrange for you to sit at the table with the children, right?" She smiled a rare heartfelt smile in the past two days. "They are all little girls."

The prince had dealt with her several times before and knew she was cunning, so he was neither anxious nor annoyed.

"I heard that the Grand Princess is here too, so what's wrong with me coming to pay my respects?"

Shen Nanqiao subconsciously recalled what the Grand Princess was doing at the moment and immediately stopped her.

"Just let us two do the harm and stop bothering her."

The prince raised his chin with pride. Ning Su watched them back and forth with cold eyes, feeling as if he was watching two children bickering.

He turned his face away calmly and drove away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that the prince was in a good mood, Shen Nanqiao told the truth.

"Miss Lin is tied up at home, so I'm afraid she won't be able to come today."

Although the prince was shy, he was still very sensible. He knew that his father wanted him to make the final confirmation today.

The position of Crown Princess is of great importance, involving two factions in the court, so it must be handled with caution.

So when I suddenly heard that the other protagonist would not come today, I was immediately a little dissatisfied.

"How come she is more arrogant than me?"

Shen Nanqiao naturally wouldn't allow the two of them to have any grudges against each other, so he immediately explained what he had heard and deliberately exaggerated it at the end.

"I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo invited two matchmakers to propose marriage to Miss Lin. I'm afraid that's why I can't come today." He sighed deeply, "Actually, there's no need to do that. Miss Lin is outstanding in appearance and cheerful in character. How could she not get married?"

The prince thought of their previous meeting and felt a subtle bitterness in his heart, but he pretended to be tough.

"She's not that stunningly beautiful, just average looking. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone proposed marriage to her family in all these years?"

Shen Nanqiao suppressed the smile on his lips and spoke nonsense seriously.

"Your Highness, you are joking. Since Miss Lin returned to the city, several young masters have been looking for her openly or secretly. The reason why no one was interested before was that she was not old enough and there were not many candidates at the border."

This seemed to make sense, and the prince began to feel a little anxious.

"At the last palace banquet, can't these people tell the difference between good and bad?"

When Shen Nanqiao saw that he had taken the bait, his expression became more and more realistic.

"What do you mean by high or low? You told me that you didn't fancy her. Besides, you haven't asked for marriage, and you haven't ordered her to marry. If one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will ask for her. Why can't you let them see her?"

The prince looked at Ning Su for help, but Ning Su immediately turned his head to the other side, pretending not to see it.

The prince had no choice but to soften his voice and ask Shen Nanqiao for help.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Shen Nanqiao had originally guessed that he had some feelings for the girl, and now he was even more certain in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be embarrassed.

"Unless you issue an order to get there first, what else can you do?"

It was impossible to issue an edict before it was confirmed. The prince stood up suddenly, which scared Shen Nanqiao.

"The decree must be approved by the Ministry of Rites, and the date must be set by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Water from afar cannot quench a nearby fire."

"How about the prince?"

The prince gritted his teeth, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"There is no other way. I will have to go there myself."
