To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Qiu Man rubbed her hands nervously. She whispered in Jiusu's ear, "What should I do? I haven't confessed my feelings to Mr. Song yet. Is the crisis escalating?"

It feels like meeting each other's parents before we are even together.

Jiusu comforted him softly: "Wait and see what happens. Let's see what Lord Song says first."

Song Wang looked at the tea leaves standing upright in the cup, blew them cool, and took a sip. It was full of fragrance. He knew that everyone was waiting for his answer, and although he had countless answers in his mind, he finally confirmed only two sentences.

"Yes, I seem to like Miss Qiu."

Then, if it’s just a seeming thing, then are you proposing marriage?

"I have nothing to do with Miss Qiu."

Don't you want to be in a relationship? If you do, this sentence will ruin the relationship between the two of you.

He frowned slightly, looking calm, but his heart was already turbulent and stormy.

"Your Majesty..."

Qiu Shishu laughed dryly and complained in his heart, when did this kid become so slow? "Does Lord Song have any unspeakable secrets? Did my daughter do something to embarrass Lord Song?"

Song Wang shook his head: "No, it's because I'm not determined."

"Oh~" Qiu Shishu said, "Did Man'er tease you?"

Qiu Man blushed and wailed. How could a father expose his daughter like this? She wanted to seduce Lord Song, but she had the desire but not the courage. She stood up and walked to her father, tugging at his sleeve.

"Father, please don't scare Lord Song."

Qiu Shishu gave her a displeased look. She was really being ungrateful and didn't notice that he was helping her test the waters.

Song Wang said: "No, I want to say it."

He took a deep breath and said, "I am destined to be with Miss Qiu, but it has not yet reached the stage of being arranged by my parents or matchmakers. I have never liked anyone, so I don't know whether I like Miss Qiu or am just curious about her."

She was like a fire, breaking into his heart.

uncertain.

Really not sure.

But to Qiu Shishu, it sounded more and more confusing.

Jiusu asked with a smile: "Master Song said that if you want to be with Manman, you should take your time and not be so anxious. At least you should make sure that the two of you are truly in love. Is it too hasty to get engaged right now?"

Come to think of it, the speed was extremely fast in ancient times.

When they reach the marriageable age, as long as both parties are interested in each other, a matchmaker will come to propose marriage the next day, and they can’t wait to enter the bridal chamber.

Song Wang was also afraid that after marriage, he and she would not be suitable for each other, and Manman was just interested in and curious about him. If he regretted it, it would be embarrassing for both families.

Song Wang gave him a grateful look: "Yes, that's what I meant."

Seeing that he did not deny the possibility between them, Qiu Man said excitedly: "I know, this is dating first and then getting married. If it doesn't work out, we can break up."

Qiu Shishu frowned.

"I don't understand the affairs of you young people. You can do whatever you want, but one thing is, don't overdo it." After he gave the instructions, he stood up and said to Song Wang, "I hope to wait until the Song family proposes marriage."

Song Wang bowed: "The younger generation will definitely be wholeheartedly devoted."

Qiu Shishu looked at the expression on his face and suddenly smiled. He teased, "You kid, when I see you like this, I know you have feelings for my daughter. You only look serious when you are investigating a case."

"..."

In the afternoon, Qiu Man went to the Prince's Mansion and told her sister the news.

Qiu Ying gently stroked her belly and smiled, "It seems that the iron tree can really bloom."

"Sister." Qiu Man looked at the Crown Princess with a hint of sadness in her smile. She sat next to her, put her head on her shoulder and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties? Why do I feel that you are unhappy?"

Qiu Ying has not been happy since the incident with her mother.

Qiu Ying sighed, "I am not as lucky as you. It is a very sad thing to find a man who loves you wholeheartedly. The prince only has four women... Oh, no, five, which is considered a small number. These days, the envoys came to the court and the prince was busy preparing for the banquet. After returning to the mansion, he came to see me and then went to Rui Liangdi's room."

Qiu Man snorted softly and crossed her arms across her chest.

My impression of my brother-in-law has become much worse.

"Dear Rui Liang? This is the first time I heard that he took another concubine?"

Qiu Ying's eyes were red, and she wanted to laugh but couldn't. She choked and said, "It was a concubine's daughter sent by the Prime Minister. The Crown Prince didn't want to offend him, so he accepted her. I understand, but I just feel uncomfortable..."

Qiu Man hugged her sister lovingly and patted her back gently.

Just like I coaxed her sister when she was a child.

"Don't cry, don't cry. If you are unhappy, just go back to the Marquis' Mansion. You have your father and me here. You can eat and wear warm clothes. At worst, we won't be the Crown Princess anymore."

At the door, the two maids could more or less hear what the Crown Princess and the Young Lady said.

They looked around in fear, fearing that there were ears on the other side of the wall. Fortunately, they were all confidants, and they looked at each other and tacitly agreed to keep it a secret.

Qiu Ying cried for a while, then she looked at her grown-up sister and smiled. She said, "We sisters should just talk and laugh about this. We must not let outsiders hear it. The position of Crown Princess cannot be determined according to my wishes. Forget it, Man'er, remember to be happy for me."

Be happy for her, be free for her, and be happy for her.

She took out a small dressing box full of things and handed it to Qiu Man.

"You little girls like to wear them."

Qiu Man lowered her head, her eyes red, and touched the tassel of her hairpin, "You can wear it, too."

There was a noise in the yard, and Ziyin bowed: "This servant greets the prince, Miss Qiu is in the room."

She glanced at Liang Di behind the prince and sighed secretly. The prince's wife was already in a bad mood, and the prince actually brought her here. Isn't this just adding to the trouble? She opened the door and waited on the side with Zizhu.

Looking at the two ladies with red eyes.

Ziyin couldn't help feeling sad.

Zhou Ruier bowed: "I have met the Crown Princess and Miss Qiu."

Qiu Ying said calmly: "Get up."

After Zhou Ruier stood up, she stood beside the prince. Her eyes were full of love, but her body was tense. She secretly glanced at the Crown Princess from time to time, and seeing that her face was not good, she couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.

She likes the prince.

I like the feeling of going from a concubine's daughter to a prince's concubine. It's worth showing off.

Qiu Ying asked: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

As the crown prince, he could naturally sense that something was wrong here, especially Qiu Man, whose face, which usually had a constant smile, was now full of coldness. He didn't know what the two sisters were talking about.

But we must not let the Marquis's Mansion have any misunderstandings.

He said, "I heard my little sister is here, why don't you stay here for a few nights?"

Qiu Man shook her head and said in a cool and slightly raised tone, "No, I still have to go to the Ministry of War to help. Your Highness, I want to take my sister with me. It's boring in the mansion, so I'd like to relax."

Xu Qihuai raised his eyebrows. He had heard about the Ministry of War's affairs, but Qiu Man had changed from "brother-in-law" to "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".

There must be an explanation for this.

"Little sister, have I offended you in some way?"

Qiu Man clenched her fingers and pursed her lips and said, "No."

"It's really too boring in the mansion. Ying'er, I'll accompany you to the Ministry of War." Xu Qihuai knew what was going on. He said to his concubine beside him, "You go back first."

Zhou Ruier bowed obediently and left reluctantly.

"I'll wait for you."
