Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

The news that the emperor wanted to help the princes choose concubines quickly spread throughout the capital.

The date is set on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The news reached the Marquis' Mansion.

In Wanxiang Courtyard.

The old lady summoned Mrs. Lan, Lan Weiwei and Lan Kexin over.

She looked at the two granddaughters in front of her.

"The Emperor has issued a decree that all of you who have reached the age of marriage and have not yet been engaged must participate in the selection.

You are not allowed to make excuses for anything; this is the Emperor's order to all prefectures."

The old lady looked at Lan Kexin specifically.

"Big girl, I hope you can be more obedient during this period of time."

Lan Kexin, who was specifically named, was speechless.

She has always been fine, so why would she be restless?

The truly restless person should be Lan Weiwei, right?

Thinking of Luoluo’s nervous expression yesterday.

I’m afraid something might happen to Lan Weiwei.

"Don't worry, old lady. Although my ideas may be different from others, I will never go beyond the limit."

Hear these words.

Lan Weiwei subconsciously looked at Lan Kexin.

I always feel like she seems to know something?

The old lady looked at the two granddaughters in front of her.

He said seriously, "The most important thing about the selection is that you must be a virgin. If you are not, don't go. Be careful not to get into trouble. If you do, your entire family will be implicated."

The old lady kept looking at them.

Lan Kexin looked at Lan Weiwei curiously.

She is usually very active and will take the initiative to respond no matter what the old lady says.

Why did you become a little mute today?

Whether she said it or not, Lan Kexin didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Madam, besides these, is there anything else?"

The old lady had an inexplicable anger.

She was impatient to be in the Courtyard of Evening Fragrance, and she was not happy to be in the Courtyard of Evening Fragrance.

He waved his hand to signal Lan Kexin that she could leave.

Looking at the back of the departing figure.

The old lady frowned and told Mrs. Lan:

"You have to keep a close eye on the eldest girl these days. Don't let her run around outside all day."

Mrs. Lan smiled bitterly. Her daughter didn't like her at all, so how could she let her people get close to her?

The old lady just said one sentence.

He then fixed his gaze on Lan Weiwei.

"Wei'er, this matter concerns your lifelong affairs, as well as the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

The old lady paused and spoke again carefully:

"Your father and grandmother planned to observe for a while longer, but now, we can no longer observe. We must make a clear choice."

Lan Weiwei responded obediently:

"Grandma, Wei'er always follows your arrangements. I wonder who your favorite person is?"

Although Lan Weiwei asked this, her heart was pounding.

Afraid of hearing the result that is not what you want.

The old lady liked her obedience very much.

"Since ancient times, inheritance in other families has always been inherited by the eldest son. However, the royal family is different. It is inherited by those who are capable and have the means."

The old lady stopped talking here and asked tentatively:

"Wei'er, among the princes, which one do you like the most?"

Lan looked at the old lady in some surprise.

She asked in return, "Grandma, will you agree to Wei'er's choice?"

The old lady pondered and spoke softly.

"Tell me, who did you choose? Let your grandmother and your mother see your vision."

Lan Weiwei did not directly say the Fourth Prince's name.

Instead, analyze it with them slowly.

"Grandmother, although the First and Second Princes have some abilities, they are not legitimate sons, and the Emperor doesn't particularly favor them unless they can take an unusual path."

As Lan Weiwei spoke, she carefully examined the expression on the old lady's face.

The old lady just nodded and had no other expression.

She continued, "The Third Prince has a casual and laid-back personality, and he has never thought about fighting for the throne.

However, Wei'er didn't know whether there was any private competition, so the chances of him getting promoted were slim.

My granddaughter never wanted to be with the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction and motioned for Lan Weiwei to continue.

Encouraged, Lan Weiwei's voice became a little lighter.

“As for the Sixth Prince, he has the ability, but he has no mother behind him to plan for him. He only has an eldest princess, so the chance is only 50%.

As for the Fourth Prince, he doesn't have that ability, but he has the Queen behind him to give him advice.

She and the Sixth Prince can be said to be the best candidates."

When Lan Weiwei said this, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Grandmother, you also know that the Sixth Prince is not interested in women at all, and your granddaughter cannot get close to him at all.

Even if he knew about the existence of the prophecy, he never expressed it."

Lan Weiwei stopped here and said nothing more.

But the old lady understood what she meant.

"So, you chose the Fourth Prince, right?"

"Grandmother, besides the Fourth Prince, who else can I choose?"

The old lady nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, the Fourth Prince is a good choice. Grandmother and your father also like the Fourth Prince."

The old lady looked at Madam Lan:

"Someday, you can go to the palace with a sign and meet the Queen to find out what she has to say.

Let's also reveal our intentions. As for the Fourth Prince, let Feng'er test it out."

"Wei'er, stay in the mansion and cultivate your character during this period of time, and practice your talents well."

"Yes, grandma." Lan Weiwei was very well-behaved.

At the moment, she did not place her hopes on Mrs. Lan and her grandmother.

Put all your hopes on the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince said that he would go to the palace to ask for permission to marry.

She must go see the Fourth Prince again.

Let him get the imperial decree granting marriage as soon as possible.

She can only feel at ease when something is set in stone.

As for the Fourth Prince’s verbal promise.

……

She walked out of Wanxiangyuan nervously.

Walking carelessly on the road.

As you pass through the garden, look toward the path leading to the gate.

"Luluo, should we go and urge the Fourth Prince to speed up?"

"Miss, let's give the Fourth Prince two days. Don't be too anxious, or you'll annoy others."

I don’t know when Lan Kexin appeared behind them.

"What have you done to make the Fourth Prince dislike you?"

The sound startled both the master and the servant.

Lan Weiwei patted her chest vigorously.

"Why are you walking without making any sound? Don't you know you'll scare people to death?"

Seeing Lan Weiwei’s pale face.

Lan Kexin smiled sarcastically:

"Lan Weiwei, when did you become so timid? Did you do something wrong? Or something shameful? That's why..."

Lan Kexin hadn't finished speaking yet.

Lan Weiwei immediately jumped up and roared:

"You just did something shameful, get out of here!"

Lan Weiwei looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

The reaction was so intense.

Lan Kexin frowned suspiciously.

Lan Weiwei felt a chill when she stared at her from behind.

I don't want to be with this annoying person.

"Green ivy, let's go."

I saw Lan Weiwei walking out.

Lan Kexin touched her chin.

He muttered quietly, "There must be something fishy going on."
