Spring Drunk Chang'an

——With me in Chang'an, I will never suffer any injustice in the future?

What does the prince mean by this?

Changan... no matter how you look at it, she's just His Highness's cousin, just like Chinen!!

His Highness has never said that Chinen will not be wronged because of him?

Because the Song family had no intention of becoming the Eastern Palace, His Highness would consciously keep a distance from Chinian in the past, never spending time with her alone, and rarely mentioning her?

But Changan...

Old Lady Song suddenly recalled every little detail between His Highness and Chang'an in the past, their verbal interactions, their eye contact, and even the expressions in their eyebrows and eyes!

its not right! !

She instantly realized something, but surprisingly, she wasn't shocked. She just frowned slightly, then pondered for a moment, thinking about her words. Finally, she asked directly, "Your Highness just said that, you are..."

"Are you interested in Chang'an?"

Xiao Chuo was slightly stunned, then he curled his thin lips and smiled.

"Not bad!"

He admitted it.

Old Madam Song frowned even more tightly, her cloudy yet shrewd eyes fixed on Xiao Chuo. She said, "Your Highness, you are interested in Chang'an... The Cheng'en Mansion is extremely honored. But, alas, Zhilan was foolish, and we, as the elders, were also careless, causing the child to suffer misfortune and great hardship since childhood. Now that we have finally recognized her, we have no other extravagant hopes. We just want her to live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life, and not be controlled or regulated by others..."

Jurisdiction!

Rectify!

These four simple words clearly meant something. Even though the Crown Prince had chosen Chang'an, even though this prince was her own grandson and the future support of the Cheng'en Mansion, even though Liu Chang'an had just been recognized, but...

She would not agree to Liu Changan being her mistress!

She doesn't want that child, because she has a mistress above her who can rule over her!

Old Lady Song conveyed this idea to the prince in a roundabout way.

After all, even if she was recognized as the eldest granddaughter of the Song family by the Cheng'en Mansion, Liu Chang'an's 17 years of lowly slavery could not be changed. If she entered the Eastern Palace, she could be a Liang Di Liang Yuan who did not need to come forward to entertain the nobles and royal family, but being a Crown Princess...

Think about the past, when the young lady and young master of the Liu family celebrated their birthdays, they also invited many guests and friends, including countless noble ladies. Chang'an had served at the banquet. At that time, the noble ladies treated her as a maid, but in the blink of an eye, she became the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, the future master's wife!

In the royal backyard, there are inevitably various halls during daily solar terms, and the Eastern Palace also needs female relatives to socialize. Those noble ladies and lords would probably laugh to death when facing Liu Changan, Your Highness!

Without much effort, Old Mrs. Song could imagine what kind of rumors would be spread at that time.

— The crown prince of the Eastern Palace, after so many years of being picky, ended up marrying a slave girl!

This is the most common.

Old Madam Song could think of something even more unpleasant, but if she had to make Chang'an her mistress because of this, she wouldn't want to do it either. It would be better to just forget it...

"Grandmother, I am truly devoted to Chang'an and want to welcome her into the Eastern Palace to be the Crown Princess!"

Before Old Lady Song could say no, Xiao Chuo earnestly assured her, "Don't worry, I will treat Chang'an well and will never let anyone bully her."

"You raised Mother, too. You certainly know her temper. Besides, she and my aunt are very close sisters. Knowing Chang'an's situation, she feels nothing but pity and love for her. How could she be willing to control her?"

Xiao Chuo said softly.

He directly expressed his feelings and guaranteed that Liu Changan would not have an 'evil mother-in-law' in the future!

"Uh... Your Highness, I naturally believe that you and the Empress wouldn't find fault with Chang'an. However, the royal family is different from ordinary people's families. It's not like they can just shut themselves off and live their own lives. The Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, the future Queen Mother, has countless eyes watching her every word and action. Even the most impeccable lady can have hundreds or thousands of faults, let alone Chang'an."

"Her appearance, character, and temperament are naturally excellent, but..."

Old Mrs. Song sighed.

The words are not finished, but the meaning is clear.

More than ten years of life as a lowly slave was Liu Changan's fatal weakness.

After all, what people say is scary.

Chang'an had suffered so much, and finally found her way back. Old Madam Song wanted to raise her and Zhilan well in the mansion, pampering them, holding them in her arms for a few years. When she was old enough, she would choose a kind and tolerant family and find a gentle, considerate, and beautiful child...

She wanted Chang'an to marry her.

In that case, with the Cheng'en Mansion around, that family would never dare to treat Chang'an badly. None of the "foolish eunuch, shrewish mother-in-law, gossipy sister-in-law, and ungrateful husband" would appear. They would just hold Chang'an in their hands like a phoenix egg.

Chang'an lives happily for the rest of her life. Isn't that better than marrying into a wealthy family and being gossiped about?

She and the old man had never thought of another queen coming out of the Cheng'en Mansion. Even with someone as gifted as Zhinian, her family didn't want to push her up, so why bother making things difficult for Chang'an?

It’s not that easy to be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace!

Old Mrs. Song wanted to refuse tactfully.

then……

"Grandmother, I am the Crown Prince. My Crown Princess, no matter what her previous status was, will become the future Queen Mother after marrying me. So, where do I rank among men? And where do my wives rank among women?"

Xiao Chuo really didn't understand what Old Lady Song meant at all. In her heart, she and Chang'an loved each other and were a perfect match made in heaven, destined to be together again.

"What rumors? Who dares to say a word while I'm here? I'll take care of it myself." He raised his eyebrows and sneered at first, but then his eyes softened. "Grandmother, I've already decided on Chang'an and I won't change my mind. Besides, the fact that Chang'an and I can meet, fall in love, and get to know each other is a match made in heaven!"

"I supported Liu Chengjin to become an official because I wanted to give Chang'an a family background. It's extremely difficult for the adopted sister of a sixth-rank official to become the principal wife of the Crown Prince. I was just having a headache, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. Chang'an is actually my cousin, my aunt's daughter!"

"The daughter of Duke Cheng'en's family is a perfect match for me in terms of status. Isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?"

"Grandma, Chang'an and I are destined to be together!"

Xiao Chuo spoke very seriously.

Old Lady Song suddenly understood. No wonder Liu Chengjin, a young boy who came from a book boy family, was able to pass the imperial examinations and become a Jinshi in just a few years. Moreover, there was a vacancy right after he passed, and that vacancy was for an official position in Beijing, which was quite a lucrative position. Such luck was difficult for a family of upright officials to have after several generations. It turned out that it was the secret support of the prince.

That makes sense.

Unexpectedly, His Highness has already set his sights on Chang'an, and it seems that he is deeply in love with her and is willing to spend time on her. In that case, it would be really hard to refuse!

Old Mrs. Song lowered her eyes and thought carefully.
