Huo Changhe burned the note.

"The Ninth Princess's team has arrived at the border and will go through customs clearance procedures in the next two days."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "So fast?"

"Dacheng's purpose of coming here this time is clear, at least on the surface, he is here for marriage. The itinerary is simple and he can go quickly."

Huo Changhe tapped the edge of the table with his fingers: "If we keep this pace, we will be able to reach the capital in the summer. If nothing special happens during this period, I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse Prince Yong's marriage."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "A sincere marriage is something the court wants, and the emperor is happy to see it happen. If he sacrifices a son in exchange for peace, he will only think it is a good deal."

Huo Changhe laughed to himself: "Business, this word is used well. In the eyes of our emperor, it is indeed a transaction, but it is not just a sale."

Yan Ruyu knew that he was angry and gently held his hand: "What if King Yong is in poor health and cannot support the wedding?"

Huo Changhe looked at her and understood what she was thinking. He thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I'm afraid not. Once the emperor intends to get Prince Yong to marry him, no reason can be established. Prince Yong's health has not been very good. The emperor knows this. When the time comes, he should send the imperial hospital. Several imperial doctors will take turns to be in the palace. Let him make any mistakes."

"Even if...there is something," Huo Changhe whispered, "the emperor will not give up because of this. The ninth princess has arrived in Beijing at that time. Even if he has a breath, he must make peace."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, and did not say anything about the Ninth Princess not being pitiful. The matter had come to this, and it was a foregone conclusion that they could come and get married.

"But, King Yong wrote to us to help, what should we do?" Yan Ruyu was a little embarrassed.

This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.

Huo Changhe held her hand in his hand and said, "I'll handle it. Let's find a way first to let her stay at the border for a longer period of time. The longer the time and the later she arrives in the capital, the greater the variables will be."

Yan Ruyu was noncommittal. At present, this was the only way.

She thought about it, first find out who this ninth princess is, and then talk about it.

If she was just a poor little girl who had left her hometown and was forced to marry far away, it would be unbearable to attack her again.

If there is any other purpose, then let it be another matter.

"Leave these things to me, don't think about it," Huo Changhe took her into his arms, "I have been worried and tired these days. Can I go with you to look at the lights? Have some fun and relax."

The Lantern Festival is the most lively. The first two days already have a festive atmosphere, and the sweet smell of glutinous rice balls is in the air.

Just as Yan Ruyu was about to agree, the voices of Linlang and San Xiaozhi rang out in the yard.

"Fairy sister-in-law, mother asked us to invite you over to eat glutinous rice balls!"

"Here we come," Yan Ruyu promised, picked up the prepared snack box and went out.

The three little ones rushed up to her, chattering around her, and suddenly said the posture of three hundred people.

Yan Ruyu didn't find it annoying, but lively and interesting, and listened patiently to what they said.

Rui Geer has grown a lot taller and is also very talkative. Although it is still a bit unclear, there is no problem in expressing himself.

Yan Ruyu followed them out and called Linlang: "You come and have a taste too, and bring a bowl back to the boss."

"Yes!"

Linlang was very happy. She hadn't eaten glutinous rice balls yet.

In Yan Ruyu's eyes, Linlang is also a child.

When I reached the Moon Gate, I was about to go to the Madam's Courtyard when someone hurried over from the other direction.

"Beibei?" Yan Ruyu's heart sank when she saw Beibei looking in a hurry and coming from the front yard, "What happened?"

"Master..." Before Beibei could finish speaking, someone followed him in the direction he came from.

"Brother, brother, don't leave."

Yan Ruyu was surprised. She looked up and saw two people. The one in front was an old man in his fifties, wearing a blue cotton coat. Behind him was a girl in her twenties, wearing a blue dress. Her black hair was neatly combed and her head was wrapped. Wearing a cloth towel of the same color, with a shy expression, not to mention how beautiful she is, but still pretty.

Yan Ruyu didn't know why, so she looked at Beibei.

Beibei's face turned red, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. It was obvious that she was very embarrassed.

Linlang grabbed Beibei's collar: "Have you bullied another girl?"

Beibei shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, how dare I? Follow the master and the most important thing for me is to follow the rules."

This is true, those of them who are running around outside are, without exception, very polite and never bully others outside.

The old man also followed, panting and pointing at Linlang: "You...let go, I am a good person, please let go."

Linlang let go of his hand and touched his nose.

"Brother, this granddaughter of mine is the most virtuous and does little work. If you marry her, I guarantee that you will have two babies in three years..."

Yan Ruyu was confused and asked with eyes. Beibei took a step back and said quickly: "Old man, we are talking about business. I will give you sugar cubes and you give up the shop. Once the matter is done, our business is over. There is no other way." of."

The old man still wanted to say, but Beibei quickly said: "How about if you don't do this, I will give you another thirty taels of silver as compensation?"

The old man did not hesitate: "I don't want money, I want you to marry my granddaughter."

Beibei waved his hands repeatedly: "This is really not good."

"Why, do you think we are poor and look down on us?"

"No, no, how can I? I am just a servant myself, running errands for my master. How can I dislike you?"

Beibei looked at Yan Ruyu with a look of help.

Yan Ruyu understood clearly that this old man was the original owner of the small sugar shop next to Qian's pharmacy. Because Beibei brought two sugar cubes to talk about things, the old man fell in love with Beibei.

It is still unknown whether he fell in love with Beibei or because he thought he had a recipe that could bring endless wealth.

The old man looked at Yan Ruyu and saw that she looked noble. He took two steps back and the girl behind him stood beside him.

"Old man, what are you..."

The old man rubbed his hands on his pants: "I...I am a candy seller, and I think this guy is very good. My granddaughter doesn't have a husband yet, so I want him to marry my granddaughter."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the girl, who lowered her head and bit her lip in silence.

"Then have you asked your granddaughter? Is she happy? Marriage is a matter between two people, and they must both be happy before they can say it. Besides..."

Beibei clasped her hands together and begged Yan Ruyu silently.

"I don't think our little brother has any thoughts of marrying for the time being."

The old man blinked, looked at Yan Ruyu, and then at Beibei: "You..."

As soon as he spoke, Linlang suddenly grabbed Beibei and said, "Didn't you say that I would be responsible for you before? Why did someone come out now? How dare you lie to me?"

Beibei quickly explained: "I didn't. This... I don't know why it happened like this."

"Okay, if you say no, then no, I believe you," Linlang put her arm around Beibei's shoulders, proudly saying, "This man is mine!"
