Inside the Shangshu Mansion's study

Jiang Xiaochuan's face grew heavier when he heard what his wife said.

"But really?"

Madam Jiang nodded solemnly, "I've asked people to investigate. There are quite a few people near the lake, but a few still recognized the prince."

"But...if it's as Yao'er said, and the prince really has some intentions, what should we do?"

Jiang Xiaochuan lowered his head in thought. The situation in the court was not stable now, and the outcome was still unknown, so he couldn't take sides rashly.

"Miss, no!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Yao, with a pale face, pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Xiaochuan frowned. His eldest daughter had been spoiled since she was a child, and now she was becoming less and less polite.

Mrs. Jiang noticed Jiang Xiaochuan's expression and immediately stepped forward with a cry of pain.

"My Yao'er, you fell into the water and haven't recovered yet, so why are you running here?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan relaxed a little after seeing Jiang Yao's pale face.

Jiang Yao avoided Madam Jiang's hand and knelt on the ground.

Mrs. Jiang saw this and hurried forward: "Hey, kid, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yao remained unmoved and simply kowtowed to Jiang Xiaochuan.

"Yao'er has always admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Daddy, please help Yao'er."

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Xiaochuan slammed the table and stood up, looking at the person on the ground with a look of disappointment.

The prince hasn't even expressed his opinion yet, but his daughter is already looking at him eagerly.

Jiang Yao stepped forward, took Jiang Xiaochuan's hand, and begged, "Father, the Crown Prince is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager, and is also highly favored. If my daughter can marry His Highness, she might even become Empress in the future."

Thinking of what the prince said to her yesterday, Jiang Yao's face flushed slightly and she became more determined.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang immediately stepped forward and scolded: "Be careful with your words!"

However, Jiang Xiaochuan fell into deep thought. Although the prince's abilities were not outstanding, he was the most beloved by the emperor and had the support of the queen's mother's family.

Seeing this, Jiang Yao immediately stepped forward, took Jiang Xiaochuan's hand, and acted coquettishly. Then, she blushed slightly as she thought of something. "Dad, I had a very pleasant conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday. And...it was the Crown Prince who saved my daughter."

Jiang Xiaochuan hesitated when he heard this: "Really?"

If he was not interested in Yao'er, why would the prince take the initiative to rescue her?

Jiang Yao nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true."

Jiang Xiaochuan sighed upon seeing this: "Well, forget it, let's wait until we hear from the Crown Prince before we discuss this matter."

Alas, how could I not feel sorry for my daughter whom I have loved since she was a child?

Cining Palace

The empress dowager, who was majestic in public, now took Song Qinian's hand with a kind face and asked him about his life.

Song Qinian looked helpless: "Aunt, my nephew has not yet planned to get married."

The Queen Mother Song disagreed: "Your mother and I want to find you a good girl first, and then we can start a family in two years. What's wrong with that?"

"Aunt, please don't let your nephew bother those girls."

"That's a waste of time. There are women everywhere who want to marry into our Song family."

Song Qinian shook his head, stood up, and casually bowed to the Queen Mother Song. He said seriously, "Aunt, I will take my leave first. Da Huang in the mansion is about to give birth, and I am worried that no one will take care of it."

After saying this, he ran away before Empress Dowager Song could speak.

"........."

Queen Mother Song looked at his back and shook her head, looking disappointed.

At this moment, the nanny standing by said softly with a smile on her face: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, the young general is both talented and handsome, even more handsome than Pan An, there is no need to worry about his marriage."

The Queen Mother Song nodded slightly, gently reached out and picked up the exquisite teacup placed beside the table, gracefully used her fingers to push away the floating tea leaves, and then carefully took a small sip of the fragrant tea.

She put down the teacup and said slowly, "This Qinian is very talented, but his personality is erratic and unpredictable. Just like the Song family, which has been civil servants for generations, he chose to join the army and even earned the title of Major General."

"I have always hoped that he would become more stable after getting married," said the Queen Mother Song, sighing softly.

He is the only child in the Song family. How can she not worry about him?

Unitary time

On the streets of Chang'an, two young men with extraordinary looks and temperament were walking on the street.

At a corner, Song Qinian just took a step when he realized something was wrong. He raised his hand and put it on the scabbard at his waist. The next second, a cold light flashed, and a sword was placed across his body.

"what!"

Although Jiang Wan knew that the male protagonist was good at martial arts, she didn't expect him to be so sharp, which scared her to death.

Then he covered his chest with his hands and fell to the ground with a frightened look on his face.

When she raised her head again, her eyes were already tearful, and she looked particularly pitiful.

"Xiaoxian... No, young lady, are you okay?"

Seeing the fairy-like person being scared and crying, Pei Jingyang felt heartbroken instantly.

Jiang Wan didn't move, but looked at the person beside her, her pink lips slightly parted: "Young Master..."

Song Qinian paused, looked at the person who fell to the ground, and stood there in a daze for a moment.

is her?

Pei Jingyang immediately stepped forward attentively, "Miss, don't bother with him, he is just...ahhhhhh!"

It hurts! Pei Jingyang looked at people with dissatisfaction.

Song Qinian released his hand and coughed softly, "You go first."

Pei Jingyang looked at Song Qinian in surprise, then looked at Jiang Wan on the ground, and instantly gave him an ambiguous look.

This guy definitely wants to be alone with the little fairy.

So he nodded in understanding and left, looking back every few steps.

"..."

"Son..."

The girl on the ground had moist almond-shaped eyes and tears on her face. She looked up at him quietly and then quickly lowered her head. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like the fragile wings of a cicada.

It was a little wild cat a few days ago, but today it has become a poor little thing.

Song Qinian ignored the strange feeling in his heart, bent down and extended his hand to her.

She raised her timid eyes and took a look, then a white, slender hand came up.

So small, so soft.

This was Song Qinian's first feeling. He felt that if he squeezed it lightly, the little hand might break.

With a little effort, the person who wanted to stand up stood up with the force.

Jiang Wan withdrew her hand instantly, but her feet felt numb and her body softened. The moment she fell, a big hand held her waist firmly.

At this moment, a light laugh came from above my head.

Jiang Wan's face flushed slightly and she stood up straight.

"Sorry, my...my legs are numb."

Song Qinian didn't know why his first reaction was to hug her. His heart was beating violently. Could it be that he really fell in love with her at first sight... no, second sight, as the book said?

Looking at the person in front of him who lowered his head and dared not look at him.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself, does he look scary?

That shouldn’t be the case. Isn’t he known as the most handsome man in the capital?

"Thank you for today, sir."

Before he could think more, the person in front of him thanked him and limped towards him. His thin and frail body seemed like he was about to fall down in the next second.

Song Qinian's eyebrows twitched when he saw this. He was timid but loved to show off.

"and many more."

The figure in front of him stopped instantly and turned to look at him in confusion.

Seeing this, Song Qinian strode towards her without hesitation, put one arm around her waist, and with the other hand passed through her knees, picked her up horizontally. His movements were smooth and natural, as if it was not the first time.

Jiang Wan exclaimed softly, her arms naturally wrapping around his neck.
