The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Chapter 581: The Prince's Wife

In the evening, the sun sets in the west and the setting sun shines.

Gu Jingxi entered the room, took off his official hat and handed it to the maid, then walked towards Meng Jinyao. Seeing that she was holding a note in her hand, he asked, "Ayao, whose note is this?"

"The invitation from the Wen family in the Ministry of Personnel invites me to attend the flower viewing banquet." Meng Jinyao said, put down the invitation in her hand, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup of fruit tea, "Husband, try it, this is the iced fruit tea made by Chunliu and Ningdong, it cools down and quenches thirst. I just drank a cup and it tastes good."

Gu Jingxi nodded, sat down beside her, and reminded her: "Don't get too close to the women of the Wen family when the time comes."

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, my husband. I know my limits."

The Fourth Prince's marriage was settled, and his wife was to be Wen Qinghan, the eldest granddaughter of Minister Wen. It was heard that the Fourth Prince fell in love with Wen Qinghan at first sight and was determined to marry her, so he asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

She had seen Wen Qinghan before. She was a beautiful, dignified and gentle woman with a good family background. The Wen family had great influence in the court. As long as the Fourth Prince married Wen Qinghan, he would gain more supporters and be one step closer to that position.

Therefore, whether the Fourth Prince fell in love with Wen Qinghan at first sight or with the status of the Wen family, only the Fourth Prince himself knows.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao asked in a low voice: "Husband, do you think the Fourth Prince wants to grab that position?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at his young wife with appreciation and replied, "Basically, there is no prince who does not want to sit in that position, unless he has mediocre qualifications and no support. He can see his position clearly, does not fight or compete, and does not make unnecessary efforts."

Meng Jinyao was silent. She didn't know if she was having a conspiracy theory. She felt that it was a coincidence that the Fourth Prince's health improved. Crown Prince Huizhao was assassinated and the Second Prince was deposed. The two people who were most likely to get that position were gone, but the Fourth Prince's health improved and he stood out among the court officials.

When he was still a sickly child, the Fourth Prince had always had a good reputation. He was intelligent and gentle, but it was a pity that he had poor health. Now that he has recovered, those ministers immediately sided with him.

She was curious and asked again, "My husband, I heard that the emperor's favorite son is the late Crown Prince Hui Zhao, and the second is the Sixth Prince. Between the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, who do you think the emperor prefers?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head: "The emperor's mind is hard to predict, how can I know this?"

"That's true." Meng Jinyao nodded and continued, "People say that the emperor prefers the Sixth Prince to be the crown prince because he is the second son of the Empress and is deeply loved by the Emperor and Empress. He has a better chance than the Fourth Prince. But judging from the outside support, the 18-year-old Fourth Prince, who has been gifted since childhood, has a stronger support than the 10-year-old Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince just has the advantage of being the legitimate son."

Gu Jingxi listened to her gossiping and laughed, "In the fight for the throne, you don't know who will win until the last moment."

-

Wenfu.

Meng Jinyao still accepted the invitation and arrived as scheduled.

The Wen family was already a well-known family, and now they had a potential consort for the Fourth Prince. Everyone knew that if the Fourth Prince could take that position in the future, the Wen family would have a queen. The Wen family was in the limelight for a while.

When Meng Jinyao arrived, many guests had already arrived. Her husband was a loyal minister, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Wen family. When she found an opportunity, she found a quiet corner to stay.

Not long after, Song Xinning, who also wanted to get some quiet time, saw her, and the two close friends gathered together to chat about family matters.

When talking about her children, Meng Jinyao sighed and said, "Aning, our Wanwan can finally talk and walk. I used to think he was stupid and Ayan's daughter might look down on him, but your son has a chance."

Song Xinning frowned and asked in a gloomy tone: "Ayao, have you forgotten the last name of my brat?"

Meng Jinyao didn't react for a moment, and followed her words and asked, "What's his last name?"

Song Xinning glared at her and laughed helplessly: "You are so jealous for no reason that you have even lost yourself?"

Meng Jinyao realized belatedly, "Oh, yes! His last name is Shen, so what?"

Hearing this, Song Xinning glared at her again, and said angrily and amusedly, "Ayan's daughter's surname is also Shen, and people with the same surname cannot marry each other. No matter if your Wanwan has a chance, my brat has no chance."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

Song Xinning: "..."

The two looked at each other in silence, the silence was deafening.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "I was so busy competing with you for my daughter-in-law that I forgot about this."

Song Xinning shook her head helplessly: "I don't know who said it before, the most important thing is that the child likes it, you can't get engaged without considering the child's wishes?"

Meng Jinyao replied, "If they have no intention of getting married, they will definitely not force the marriage. There are still more than ten years left. They have grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and maybe they will fall in love with each other." After that, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ayan's daughter is so cute. I like her no matter how I look at her. If they didn't forbid it, I would have taken her home."

Hearing this, Song Xinning suddenly realized and looked at her: "I think you are just simply envious of Ayan's daughter. If you like daughters so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself?"

Meng Jinyao said as a matter of course: "It takes ten months of pregnancy to give birth, how can it be easy to get it?"

Song Xinning was surprised: "You only care about other people's girls. Don't you and your Lord plan to have more children?"

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Well, we don't plan to have any more. Wanwan is enough for us."

Song Xinning asked: "Wanwan is the only child here, won't he be too lonely?"

Meng Jinyao disagreed: "He will have friends and a wife to accompany him in the future, how can he be lonely?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind them: "What do you mean by lonely or not lonely? Who are you talking about?"

They both turned around and saw Princess Jingning standing behind them, looking at them with a smile on her face and puzzled eyes.

Song Xinning replied, "Nothing. A Yao said she doesn't plan to give Wan Wan a brother or sister, but she plans to persuade Wan Wan to kidnap your daughter so that she can have a daughter."

When she said this, she hoped that Princess Jingning would have a sense of crisis. Unexpectedly, Princess Jingning not only did not feel a sense of crisis, but was delighted: "Ayao, do you really think so? The son you and your Lord have raised must be good. If they are destined to be together in the future, let my daughter marry your son, and you will be her mother-in-law, then I don't have to worry about her being wronged after getting married."

Song Xinning: "...Does Master Shen know that you think this way? Be careful that he gets angry with you."

Princess Jingning waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Shen Yunzhou can think whatever he wants. Even if he doesn't want to let his daughter go, he can't stop her from getting married in the future."
