Remarry 9,000 Years Old

After the initial surprise, the old lady was furious!

Pingyuan Hou had no choice but to lower his voice and explain to his old mother that if Shen Jingyi was gone, this lineage would be extinct.

The old lady obviously didn't believe in evil.

"Nonsense, my Yu'er is in good health, how could he not have many children? Hurry up and find him a wife. He has two children in three years, and he still needs a son?"

Pingyuan Hou was a mute who ate Coptis chinensis.

Seeing that it didn't work, the old lady immediately changed her expression and cried about the difficulties she had faced as a unemployed widow over the years. Her words implied that she wanted to take back the promise she had made in the red book.

Ning Su remained unmoved.

This is originally a matter between Pingyuan Hou and his son. There is no need for me to interfere.

Whether it succeeds or not is something they should figure out behind closed doors.

But he had more important things to do right now, so he turned to look at the prince.

The prince was shocked.

With years of experience together, he immediately sensed something was wrong, and his survival instinct made him move quickly to Shen Nanqiao's side, and he spoke in a serious tone.

"By the way, I left the palace this time because I have something to discuss with you."

Shen Nanqiao raised her eyebrows. She had felt something was odd from the beginning. In her previous life, the prince lived deep in the palace and rarely showed up.

This time he actually came to my house on his own initiative, there must be something fishy going on.

However, for Shen Nanqiao, who was trying to prepare for the future and avoid a hostile relationship between Ning Su and the prince, this was actually a good thing.

After all, only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you achieve your goal. Thinking of this, she generously gave up the opportunity.

"Prince, are you here to collect the bill from the day before yesterday?" She smiled gently, "I promised to treat you to a meal at the night market, but it seems I haven't done it yet."

This clearly shows that the two of them have a close relationship!

Everyone present had their own ulterior motives, wondering when Shen Nanqiao had found such a backer.

Before the prince could think about that, he received a cold gaze.

He didn't even dare to look up at Otomo. He waved his hands hastily to deny it while racking his brains to think of an excuse.

"No, no, I came... came... to see what injustice you have suffered! Right!"

This reason was so far-fetched that even Shen Nanqiao couldn't stand it.

"Everything has been fine since I got married. My husband has been very good to me and I have never suffered any injustice."

The prince thought to himself, of course I know he treats you well.

He takes out his temper on other people, so of course he'll treat you badly when he gets home.

But he could not find any reasonable reason to explain his leaving the palace today. As he was hesitating, he heard Ning Su speak indifferently behind him.

"The prince came here today to ask you to help him choose a concubine."

The words were not spoken loudly, but everyone present heard them.

Shen Jingyi couldn't believe her ears. If it weren't for the pain in her waist and hips stimulating her nerves, she would almost suspect that she was dreaming.

Choosing a concubine? Asking Shen Nanqiao to help? How could she be so worthy!

Pingyuan Hou considered more. Although Ning Su was the emperor's confidant, the selection of the Crown Princess involved the foundation of the country and was by no means a trivial matter.

To hand it over to Shen Nanqiao like this, isn't this clearly giving her the opportunity to take advantage of something?

If she was more selfish and recommended her own confidants, then when the prince ascended the throne in the future, the court and the harem would be controlled by her and her husband.

Thinking of this, his already heavy mood became even worse.

However, the most surprised person among the group was the prince: Why didn’t I get any news when they asked me to choose a concubine?

Shen Nanqiao was no less surprised than him. She blinked and spoke with obvious suspicion.

"Let me choose? Didn't the Queen Mother already..."

He had just said half of his words when he realized that the emperor must have a disagreement with the empress dowager on this matter.

However, due to the big hat of filial piety, it is difficult to refute directly. As a confidant of Emperor Ming, Ning Su naturally became the only choice to be entrusted with the important task.

But how could he, a mere official, act as a matchmaker?

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao suddenly felt that he not only had to take on this hot potato, but also had to do it beautifully.

So she immediately changed the subject.

"Choosing a concubine is a major event in life. It is said that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are no different. It is an unspoken rule of noble families that the legitimate wife should not be divorced, otherwise it is easy to become a laughing stock. This is the case for the rich and powerful, let alone the royal family." At this point, she glanced meaningfully at the people in the Marquis' Mansion, "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to the husband. The selection of the Crown Princess is related to the foundation of the country, so naturally we have to compare many options."

Although the prince did not yet understand matters between men and women, the sincerity in Shen Nanqiao's words inexplicably made him feel at ease.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Mrs. Changchen is right. Marriage is indeed something that should be handled with extreme caution."

This confirmed that the selection of the concubine was indeed entrusted to Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao thought about it carefully. If he remembered correctly, the little prince married Lin Jingshu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, in his previous life.

He is two years older than the prince, so he is fifteen years old.

The Lin family has been a military family for generations. The Duke of Zhenguo originally guarded Datong Prefecture and was only transferred back to the capital in the past two years.

Lin Jingshu was a girl who rode horses and played with arrows. In her previous life, she had never been able to fit into the circle of noble ladies.

Because they were in different circles, she didn't remember what the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was like.

I think they were very respectful to each other, otherwise the story of the emperor and empress living in harmony would have been spread.

Shen Nanqiao was still thinking to himself, and when he raised his eyes, he met the prince's face full of longing.

"What kind of girl does the prince like?"

Even though he's still a teenager, he shouldn't be completely unconcerned about marriage, right?

The prince was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Pingyuan Marquis and his family kneeling on the ground, and immediately kept silent.

"Some people don't understand the principle of not listening to inappropriate things. Let's go to Otomo's study."

After saying that, he raised his leg and walked away.

Ning Su gave a few instructions, asking the factory guards to clean up the mess, and followed them.

He was tall and had long legs, so one of his steps was equivalent to two of Shen Nanqiao's, so he deliberately slowed down and walked slowly with her.

"The selection of a concubine for the crown prince was decided by the emperor, and it has not been made public yet. Once the court officials know about it, they will definitely try every means to send their daughter's portrait to the palace."

This is not surprising.

The Crown Prince is definitely going to be the future emperor, especially since his mother's family does not have deep roots, so there are many people eyeing the position of Crown Princess.

Once you are selected, it will be a great opportunity to rise to the top.

What could be faster than pillow talk? In the previous life, there was a rift between Ning Su and the Crown Prince. How could we know that there was no such relationship?

"Will it be handed over to the Emperor or the Crown Prince?" She looked up at him and found his profile particularly delicate.

Ning Su pursed his lips and sneered.

"If this governor doesn't want, their portraits won't even be allowed into the harem."

Shen Nanqiao knew that he had absolute power in the palace. If those so-called important officials wanted to bypass Ning Su and act alone, they would most likely fail.

It is precisely because of this that it is easier to make enemies.

Ning Su saw that she was frowning and thought that she was worried that someone would make things difficult for her because of the selection of a concubine, so he took a half step forward and stood in front of her.

"Whatever ideas you have, just go for it. I'll be there for you."

Shen Nanqiao said nothing, just blinked her big eyes at him.

He leaned forward slightly, so that his eyes were level with the little girl, as if he was coaxing a child.

"Who do you want to be the Crown Princess?"

His tone was so confident, as if he could do it if she said a name.

She knew he had the ability, especially at the peak of his career.

Shen Nanqiao's gaze passed Ning Su and fell on the little prince in front of him.

"The child you raised deserves a life together as a couple." She turned her gaze back, "So I will do my best."

Ning Su said nothing and remained silent for a moment.

"The East Factory holds the knife, and the Imperial Household Department holds the power. You can use them to your advantage. Don't worry."

Shen Nanqiao nodded solemnly.

Husband and wife are one, especially in the imperial family. If the queen really came from her hands, anyone with a conscience would definitely remember this love.

If one day, Ning Su and the little prince become enemies like they did in the previous life, at least he would have one more card in his hand.

As I was still thinking, I heard a clear young voice coming from the front.

"Can you walk faster? It's freezing cold. Why don't we go to a house with a ground dragon to talk?"

The tenderness Ning Su had just shown towards Shen Nanqiao was like a flash in the pan, and the look he gave the little prince made people shudder for no reason.
