When Jiang Xueyi heard that Jiang Yunxi had returned, she waited at the gate of the Cining Palace early.

Jiang Yunxi saw Jiang Xueyi, lifted her skirt and trotted, running straight into Jiang Xueyi's arms.

"Grandma..." Jiang Yunxi deliberately used an aggrieved voice, "...Yunxi was willful."

"You little monkey, why are you running around?" Jiang Xueyi pretended to pat Jiang Yunxi on the back, but in fact the force was lighter than tickling.

Jiang Xueyi hugged Jiang Yunxi, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

Jiang Xueyi's eyes were already red.

Jiang Yunxi then affectionately took Jiang Xueyi's hand and helped her into the hall and sat down.

Jiang Yunxi tapped Jiang Xueyi's legs gently, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good child, I know you don't want to give your father an adopted son. Well, then don't adopt him. In the future, I will think of a way to transfer this title to your husband. After the child is born, he will have the same surname as you, Jiang, and the position will be passed to him."

Jiang Yunxi's movements suddenly paused, "Grandma, what are you talking about? I don't want to get married."

"I have already talked about it with Madam Changsun. I will find a suitable time and talk to His Majesty to settle your matter as soon as possible." Jiang Xueyi had a smile on her face, and seemed very satisfied with the arrangement.

"I..." Jiang Yunxi's face showed no joy.

"You don't want to?" Jiang Xueyi chased her and asked, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I heard that the eldest prince has a new little princess?" Jiang Yunxi wanted to change the subject. "Although she is a little princess, she is at least the first child of your majesty's grandchildren."

"Yes, this is the first grandson of the emperor." Jiang Yi spoke briefly, but his face suddenly became gloomy.

Because of this little princess, Emperor Zhao Changta has already planned to set up a palace for the eldest prince and make him a king.

According to convention, a prince should not be crowned king before he comes of age.

This shows Zhao Changta's bias.

Jiang Xueyi said calmly, "Have you thought about the gift for the first birthday party?"

"Can I do some embroidery? Or, grandma, is there anything you want me to give you?" Jiang Yunxi blinked, with a hint of mischief in her tone.

As long as it doesn't talk about marriage, she can say anything.

"Your embroidery has always been outstanding. I am not worried." Jiang Xueyi paused, "But I heard that Concubine Xian also invited Wanwan to go, which made me a little worried for a while."

Jiang Yunxi thought that his information was indeed released in a timely manner.

Let Concubine Xian know the irreconcilable hatred between Jiang Wanwan and Zhao Ya.

Over the years, Concubine Xian has been challenging the Queen's position.

Now, she was eager to watch the fun, and in order to see the Queen's daughters Zhao Ya and Jiang Wanwan make a fool of themselves, she specially called both of them.

Jiang Yunxi's lips curled up slightly, and she thought, "This way, I don't have to ask Jiang Wanwan to enter the palace."

"I heard that the Third Prince is very popular among the people because of his work in curing the epidemic. I think he will be able to open a government office soon, right?"

Jiang Yunxi looked at Jiang Xueyi with a smile.

"Don't listen to those gossips." Jiang Xueyi sneered, "He just completed two tasks, but the people praised him so highly. They said he was comparable to the emperor and could inherit the throne. How could His Majesty not be wary of such a lack of tact? How could he not provoke hatred?"

Anyone with a bit of vision can see that the third prince Zhao Zheyong is experiencing both fortune and disaster this time.

Only Zhao Zheyong and Jiang Wanwan and their group were unaware of the situation and thought they had made a huge contribution.

--------

Jiang Yunxi, Nan Nan and Zhen Zhen were playing shuttlecock in the yard.

Nan Nan is good at martial arts and can always catch the shuttlecock that flies everywhere; Zhen Zhen has played it many times and is naturally familiar with it.

It just so happened that Jiang Yunxi, who was weak when he was a child and had never played shuttlecock, could not kick the ball repeatedly, but kept trying despite repeated failures.

Jiang Yunxi saw that they played well and applauded them.

Seeing that Jiang Yunxi was having a hard time catching the shuttlecock, Nan Nan deliberately pushed the shuttlecock towards her feet.

Jiang Yunxi caught it with his foot and kicked it a few times, then an innocent smile appeared on his face.

Nanny Yue ran over with a look of joy on her face, "Princess, the Queen Mother is affectionate."

"Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Yunxi didn't stop moving.

Nanny Yue couldn't hold back her smile, "You'll know when you get there, Princess."

"Grandma..." Jiang Yunxi changed into a light pink outer dress embroidered with peacock patterns and ran to Jiang Xueyi's palace with a smile.

Jiang Xueyi looked at Jiang Yunxi with a smile and patted the seat next to her, "Come, come to grandma."

Jiang Yunxi sat down as he was told.

"You have any contact with the Third Prince?"

Jiang Yunxi would not mention the fact that she had met Zhao Zheyong in Ningzhou. She looked innocent and thought for a while. "I don't think we had any contact. The last time I saw him was when I went to burn incense for my parents. He was leading a search at that time, and I saw him from a distance."

Jiang Xueyi thought carefully, "He mentioned it to His Majesty, saying that he wanted to marry you. His Majesty asked me what I thought about it. I had never thought about it before, so I came to ask you what you thought about it."

Jiang Yunxi looked a little embarrassed, "Yunxi really hasn't thought about this. Why did he suddenly ask to marry me?"

Nan Nan watched Jiang Yunxi's acting skills from the side and gave her a thumbs up in her heart.

It was as if the person who did business with Zhao Zheyong a few days ago was not Jiang Yunxi.

"I am indeed a little nervous. I never thought it would be like this." Jiang Yunxi pursed her lips, "Grandmother, you also said before that the Third Prince was a bit high-profile in helping the Emperor. I am also worried that you and I will be implicated by him because of this."

"Moreover, I just think that he wants to marry me because he is eyeing the position of the Duke of Zhenguo held by the Jiang family. He wants to arrange people in the court, and the path of the Duke of Zhenguo is the simplest and most direct."

"It's better to choose the Changsun family. At least you don't have to worry about being persecuted."

"But in this world, there are gains and losses." Jiang Xueyi did not belittle Zhao Zheyong this time, but advised Jiang Yunxi, "If he wants to move up a level, he must go through this, and if you can go through this with him, you will be qualified to sit in a higher position."

"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help someone in need. If I wait until he succeeds before marrying him, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Although Jiang Yi did not say it explicitly, Jiang Yunxi understood what Jiang Yi meant.

Jiang Yunxi thought of everything in his previous life and couldn't help but sneer, "Not necessarily."

Zhao Zheyong had no heart, and Jiang Yunxi sacrificed everything to help him get to the top.

All that was left for her was death.

"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Yunxi doesn't dare to make the decision on her own and listens to grandma." Jiang Yunxi lowered her head, "But Yunxi hopes that grandma can postpone this matter for the time being."

"After all, this is the first time that the Third Prince has undertaken such a big task, and he has done such a good job. Now there is an excellent marriage for him. I always worry that things will backfire."
