Prince’s Mansion, study.

"I'm getting married."

"I'm getting married."

"I'm getting married."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were discussing important matters when Pei Chen suddenly rushed in as he did this afternoon, and then repeated loudly three times!

Pei Chen's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.

He couldn't stop for a second. After he finished speaking, he walked around the study happily, not giving Xiao Ji and Xie Yao any chance to interrupt.

He grabbed Xiao Ji's shoulders and said, "Your Highness, I'm getting married. I'm finally getting married."

Xiao Ji: "...With whom?"

Pei Chen's expression changed immediately, "Who else could it be? Of course it's Yingying! Yingying has agreed to marry me!"

"Your Highness, I will be your cousin-in-law from now on. Come, call me cousin-in-law."

Xiao Ji thought Pei Chen was crazy and was extremely happy.

"Have you told your aunt about this?" Xiao Ji asked. "After all, marriage requires three letters and six ceremonies, so I'll have to ask my aunt to take care of it for you."

Pei Chen's body stiffened slightly, and he turned and walked out, "I'll go now."

He was really crazy with joy.

After leaving, he didn't even close the study door.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji and said, "I want to talk to Sister Ying."

"Okay." Xiao Ji nodded.

……

Princess Yongle's Mansion.

Pei Chen returned to the Princess's Mansion excitedly, suppressed the joy on his face, and told the Princess that he wanted to marry Zhao Ying.

Princess Yongle sat at the top, looking at Pei Chen on the side.

There was obvious joy on his face and his eyes were full of anticipation. With just one glance, the princess was sure: Pei Chen loved him very much.

"You know that His Majesty intends to arrange a marriage for you?" the eldest princess asked in a deep voice.

Pei Chen tried hard to suppress the smile on his face, but was not very successful. He said, "Mother, I heard about it, but I already have someone I love."

"The girl from the Zhao family," said Princess Yongle.

Pei Chen looked up in surprise, his eyes full of shock. How did his mother know?

Princess Yongle glanced at him and said, "I am your mother, so I naturally know."

"You should know her identity... Have you made up your mind?"

Princess Yongle asked with deep meaning, "Do you know that if you marry her, your future life will be very difficult?"

The emperor obviously favors the third prince, and Pei Chen married the cousin of the crown princess. Even if he has no intention of taking sides, he will become a member of the crown prince's party in the eyes of everyone.

This was undoubtedly going against the emperor, and even with her being the eldest princess as her mother, it was inevitable that she would be disliked by the emperor.

"Son, I'm not afraid." Pei Chen said immediately, "Besides, she was already on the path you chose. You and I have always been on the same path."

He doesn't need to take sides.

He was originally a princeling.

He and Yingying are a perfect match!

Pei Chen's eyes were filled with sincerity. "Mother, I only want to marry her. Please grant my wish."

……

The next day.

Before Xie Yao went out to look for Zhao Ying, an uninvited guest arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

"Aunt." Xie Yao personally welcomed Princess Yongle into the house and bowed respectfully.

Princess Yongle followed Xie Yao into the room and said, "I came here today because I have a few questions to ask."

what?

Xie Yao was puzzled. At this moment, the steward's voice came from outside the door, "Crown Princess, Miss Zhao requests to see you."

Princess Yongle looked at Xie Yao and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Here she comes."

Xie Yao understood that the princess' question was directed at Sister Ying. She said, "Please come in."

Zhao Ying was quickly brought in.

Seeing Princess Yongle, Zhao Ying was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed, "I greet the Princess, and I greet the Crown Princess."

"No need for formalities." Princess Yongle did not make things difficult for Zhao Ying. She quickly asked her to stand up and then asked all the servants to leave.

Princess Yongle's eyes fell on Zhao Ying, her eyes were deep and full of oppression: "Miss Zhao."

"You didn't want to get married before, so why are you suddenly willing to get married now? Do you have other motives?"

Princess Yongle had been in charge of government affairs in the past and had a very strong aura. At this moment, she stared at Zhao Ying as if she could see through her soul.

Zhao Ying came to the Prince's Mansion today just to talk about this matter with Xie Yao, but she didn't expect that Princess Yongle would be one step faster.

Zhao Ying was silent for only a moment, then she said, "To answer the Princess, I really didn't want to get married before."

"I admit that I agreed to the marriage... but I did have other motives. I am the Crown Princess's cousin, and I really don't want to become an enemy of Pei Chen."

"But more importantly, it's because of him. To be honest, Princess, after I proposed marriage... I regretted it for a moment."

"But Pei Chen, he's always wanted to marry me. He could have used marrying me to avoid the arranged marriage. But he still gave me the chance to regret it. He was afraid that I would be impulsive, afraid that I would regret it, afraid that I would feel wronged."

The corners of Zhao Ying's lips curled up, and a look of happiness that anyone with a discerning eye could see on her face said, "I don't want to get married."

"But Pei Chen is an exception."

Princess Yongle looked at Zhao Ying with burning eyes, but she only saw sincerity on her face.

What she said was true.

Suddenly, Princess Yongle laughed, "Not bad."
