"I'm reading the Records of the Secret Forest Zhaishi. What book did you read it from?"

Although the young man in front of him has lost his youthfulness and his face has become more angular, everything seems to have never changed.

Su Xin knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yes." She just said.

He said yes but he gave such a great gift.

"The girl taught by the Zhang family really knows etiquette." Looking at the maid who exited, Eunuch Jing couldn't help but say.

She is a girl from the Zhang family, not Cheng Jiaoniang.

Prince Jin'an smiled.

"If you think others know etiquette, you are just following your own will." He said, "Those who know etiquette or not are just their own opinions. In fact, they are not qualified to judge."

Eunuch Jing was stunned for a moment, and then became a little sullen again.

After all, he was protecting that woman...

"A Jing, actually, I was rude." Prince Jin'an said, sighing, "I followed my own wishes, but for her, she had a different wish."

Eunuch Jing was stunned for a moment and then understood.

It is a very gratifying and good thing for Prince Jin'an to be able to marry a crown prince who does not dislike him and can treat him well. This is the joy that a relative of the prince should have, but for the relatives of the crown prince,

For example, it is not a happy thing to let the child you care about and love marry a fool, even if he has a noble status.

And compared to the prince, Cheng Jiaoniang is closer to Chen Danniang.

"This is not decided by His Highness."

Eunuch Jing said a little aggrievedly, "Seeing as His Highness can think of her so much, why can't she?"

He actually walked away with such a face-off.

This is done in front of your servants. It really doesn't save any face for His Highness. It's too much.

"Besides, can't His Highness be happy?"

"Of course I can be happy." Prince Jin'an said, "Then how can I be harsh on her and not be happy?"

……………………………………………

In the study, Cheng Jiaoniang's expression remained as usual, but her handwriting was a little thicker than usual.

Banqin, who was sitting on her knees beside her, was a little dazed. Tears suddenly fell down. She was shocked out of her wits and wiped them away hurriedly, as if she was afraid of being seen.

"If you can't cry even if you want to, how can you still be called home?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Banqin's tears dropped like threads.

"Madam, why would Mr. Chen agree to let Dan Niang marry the prince?" she cried.

Cheng Jiaoniang stopped the pen in her hand.

"I don't think he agreed to it," she said.

Banqin was stunned for a moment and looked up at her.

Isn't it? Didn't Eunuch Jing just say that the Chen family asked Dan Niang to enter the palace when the prince was choosing a concubine? Then of course it was intentional.

Why didn't it turn out to be the case?

Banqin couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Then, Dan Niang doesn't have to get married, right?" She asked with a bit of hope, "Master Chen will definitely not agree, right?"

Cheng Jiaoniang didn't look at her, but looked at the words on the paper.

"I think he would agree," she said slowly.

Banqin was stunned.

It’s not that he didn’t agree to it, so why do you say he would agree to it?

How can Mr. Chen agree? That’s Dan Niang!

Banqin couldn't help but sit up and hold her hands, tears overflowing in her eyes.

……………………………………………

In the courtyard of the Chen family, the incense table was still placed, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the ground with a layer of bright red.

The chamberlain holding the edict in his hand had sweat on his forehead and looked at Chen Shao, who had been kneeling in front of him for a long time.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" he said, "You have to say something. What kind of decency is it to do this?"

Chen Shao raised his head, and the setting sun on the horizon had put away the last trace of its afterglow, but his eyes still seemed to be hurt by the sting, and he couldn't help but close them slightly.

When he opened it again, his expression returned to solemnity, and he seemed to have made a decision.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother, I cannot obey the order." He said, leaning down.

After saying these words, Mrs. Chen, who was kneeling behind, couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, blocking the cry on her lips, and she seemed to have been drained of strength and leaned down.

The eunuch who announced the decree did not look surprised, as if he had already expected it.

"Really?" he said in a long voice and raised his eyebrows, his eyes falling condescendingly on Chen Shao, "Mr. Chen, you said this after thinking about it, right?"
