After listening to Ruan Mianmian's words, the old Marquis was silent for a moment, and he had to say that Xiao Naituanzi's analysis was reasonable.
"That makes some sense. Anyway, leave this matter to me. Grandpa will arrange it." Ruan Geng stroked his beard, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has gone, Ruan Xiao must also go, plus you brothers and sisters
Three…….”
Ruan Mianmian interrupted Ruan Geng: "Grandpa, I made a mistake. It was four brothers plus me."
"Will Ruan Jin go too?"
"Of course the eldest brother wants to go together. It's not good to leave him alone in Motunzhai. He will think too much. Everyone takes care of each other, so it shouldn't affect his study."
"Let me consider this matter carefully." Ruan Geng did not agree immediately.
Ruan Mianmian was not in a hurry. Anyway, her grandfather did not refuse on the spot, so there was hope. As for the opportunity, there would be one sooner or later.
Unknowingly, the ten-day deadline agreed between Lin Bingying and Lin Shilang arrived, and Ruan Jin came to Yanlongyuan to see her off.
The two of them were speechless, but there was reluctance in their eyes.
"Sister Lin, there is no need to be sad. The Lin family is in the capital. Everyone knows that you are on good terms with me. Won't you be able to see my eldest brother when we go over occasionally to have a get-together?"
"Mianmian is right." Lin Bingying suddenly felt less sad as she thought about seeing each other again in the future.
Ruan Jin looked at Lin Bingying and couldn't help lowering her head: "After all, I can't help you. If I delay it for another three years, I might miss you. If there is a suitable candidate..."
"No." Lin Bingying interrupted Ruan Jin firmly.
"Bingying, it's been three years after all." Ruan Jin looked at Lin Bingying and sighed.
Ruan Jingang lost his mother and had to observe mourning for three years. Naturally, he could not get married within three years.
Now that I think about it, it is a good thing that Ruan Jin failed to win the exam. If he had to observe filial piety after winning the exam, wouldn't he lose the advantage of showing his face in front of the emperor? Who knows what will happen if he fails to keep filial piety?
"Brother, are you stupid?" Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but say.
Facing Ruan Jin with a look of astonishment on her face, Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "In a year and a half, if nothing happens between you and Sister Lin, ask your grandmother to come to propose marriage and settle the marriage between you and Sister Lin. Wait until you observe filial piety.
It won’t be a mistake to get married later.”
"My sister is right." Ruan Jin finally smiled, "But I thought too little."
"Sister Lin is relieved now." Ruan Mianmian joked.
After talking about this, Lin Bingying felt embarrassed. She said goodbye with a blushing face and left in a hurry.
"Big brother." Ruan Mianmian called him with a snicker as Ruan Jin stared at Lin Bingying's back.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Jin came back to his senses and couldn't help but blush when he saw the half-smiling expression on the little breast dumpling.
Ruan Mianmian stopped teasing Ruan Jin: "My mother's embroidery workshop will open tomorrow. Do you want to come with me to watch the excitement?"
"Okay." Ruan Jin agreed.
"If the fourth brother is free, please call him too." Ruan Mianmian said again.
"Okay." After Ruan Jin finished speaking, he looked a little lonely.
Ruan Zhao and Ruan Chen went to the academy. Ruan Xiao was Li Yu's study companion and often went to the palace to listen to Taifu Ji's lectures. Ruan Jin didn't feel it before studying hard behind closed doors, but after the scientific examination, he suddenly felt at a loss and bored.
The next day, Zhou Yunning's embroidery shop opened. She didn't want to announce it, so she didn't say it was the shop of the third wife of the Marquis of Ding'an.
However, with the Zhou brothers supporting the place, and Ruan Mianmian's plan to cut the ribbon for the opening and invite people to perform a lion dance, it became extremely lively.
There were a lot of people coming in and out. Although the amount of transactions was not large, the eyes of the rich ladies looking at the wedding dresses were almost shining.
Zhou Hong and Zhou Yun couldn't help but secretly admire their niece. From today on, every prominent family in the capital will think of this place when they get married.
Zhou Yunning stood on the attic, watching the people coming and going in the store, and felt great satisfaction in her heart.
When Ruan Qi disappeared, Zhou Yunning once felt as if the sky was falling. If it weren't for Mianmian, she might not be able to hold on.
Looking back, Zhou Yunning somewhat understood the importance of Ruan Mianmian telling her to find her own self-worth. At this moment, she seemed to have hope and lived for herself, not for others.
Ruan Mianmian stood on the street in front of Xiufang, with Ruan Jin and Ruan Xiao guarding her behind her. The three siblings planned to go out for a walk.
Suddenly, officers and soldiers opened the way, and all the people were rushed to the roadside. Ruan Mianmian was very surprised, who was causing such a grand scene?
Jiu'er came over and took Ruan Mianmian and the three of them to the alley: "Princess, the young masters stay here, it's crowded outside, let's go out later."
"Who is he?" Ruan Mianmian looked outside curiously.
Ruan Xiao grabbed Ruan Mianmian, who was about to go out to watch the excitement: "Don't look at it, I know who he is."
"Fourth brother, please tell me quickly?" Ruan Mianmian urged.
"Today is the day when the eldest princess and her husband leave the capital."
"Li Ling is finally leaving." Ruan Mianmian made no secret of her gloating expression.
Ruan Jin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in confusion: "How could such a legitimate princess end up in such a situation?"
"Eldest brother, fourth brother, you go back first, I will go into the palace to see my little brother."
Ruan Xiao advised: "You should stop interfering. Besides, the embroidery workshop is opening today, and everyone will go to Juweiju to celebrate together later."
Ruan Mianmian thought that it was not appropriate to enter the palace at this time, so she let go and said, "Okay, let's go another day."
Just as the wedding team left the capital, in the palace, in Kunyi Palace, the Queen fell on the bed and burst into tears. After all, she was wrong. She did not teach Ling'er well, and she committed the unforgivable crime.
.
Murdering the eldest prince and framing the prince, such a ruthless plan to kill two birds with one stone, the queen could not believe that it was the baby daughter she held in the palm of her hand who did it. It was not until she went to Lingfang Palace to meet Li Ling alone that she suddenly realized it.
Unexpectedly, her pampering would pamper Li Ling to such an extent that the queen couldn't believe her ears when she heard that she actually wanted that position.
From that day on, the empress did not see Li Ling. Even if she asked to see her before her wedding, she did not go to see her.
It's not that the queen is too cruel, but that she is trapped in self-blame and cannot face Li Ling like this.
"The Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."
Suddenly hearing that Li Yu was coming, the queen was stunned for a moment and then lost control and shouted: "What is he here for?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he came to pay your respects."
Sitting up, the expression on the queen's face kept changing. After a while, she spoke: "Let him wait while you help me dress and dress."
Li Yu sat in the hall of Kunyi Palace and then stood up and walked out of the gate. He stood at the door and looked at the direction where Li Ling was leaving the city.
He had changed and became cruel and ruthless, but when he looked back and thought about it, Li Yu felt that compared to Li Ling, he was still kind, at least he didn't think about taking her life.
