Sailing is the most boring thing. Even on an official ship, the space is limited.

To put it aside, Jiang Heng would rather travel day and night and ride on horseback than wait in a boat with his hands and feet tied up.

But this time,

The same boring time on the boat seemed to become a little unusual because my parents were by my side.

The space on the ship is limited, and the people we see are even more limited. Those who come and go are those accompanying us.

No one interrupted their family's conversation, nor did an inexplicable edict suddenly come from nowhere and separate their family thousands of miles apart;

There are no official documents and military affairs that can never be completed, no court battles and intrigues that need to be carefully considered at all times;

There are just fathers, mothers and sons.

Sometimes father and son play chess, with Su watching from the sidelines, but the fight between father and son often goes beyond fighting on the chessboard to verbal rivalry;

Sometimes it’s just simple gossip, talking about Jiang Heng’s childhood, talking about the relatives in the family who recently had a baby. Jiang Weicheng will also ask in a sour tone when he will be able to hold his grandson, and talk about Jiang Lingyi who is thousands of miles away. It's okay...

Sometimes, no one talks at all, and the three of them each hold a book and read their own things. Doing nothing is an indescribable harmony and tranquility.

……

Prince Ningdi's Mansion

The prince's palace is actually a smaller palace, with grand regulations, majestic style and extraordinary splendor.

However, although the palace occupies a large area, these noble vassal kings often have many wives and concubines and many children. For example, King Zhou and King Qi have repeatedly applied to expand the palace on the grounds that the palace has a large number of people and the palace regulations do not allow it.

While the palaces of other vassal princes could not accommodate them, Prince Ning simply could not accommodate so many rooms in his residence.

Without him, Prince Ning’s harem is too clean.

Not a single extra female fly is clean.

If he were a prince in the capital, he might even be nagged by the courtiers and reprimanded by the emperor's father for this;

But the vassal king, Emperor Tiangao, was far away from the emperor, and the emperor was busy with affairs, so naturally he had no time to care about the few women in his son's backyard who were thousands of miles away.

but--

I have to say that sometimes, some ministers really worry more than their own father.

In the study

Jiang Lingyi sat in front of the desk, quietly looking at the so-called "beauty pageant" proposal handed over by Ning's ministers. Prince Ning himself stood quietly beside him, glancing at his wife's face from time to time.

The more Jiang Lingyi looked at it, the more he felt,

These ministers are really attentive. I don’t know if they really have nothing else to do, or if Prince Ning’s backyard is really an eyesore to them;

This beauty pageant's excerpt is filled with every word and word of advice, and it seems that it will not give up until it achieves its goal.

"Ah--"

This chuckle that was neither light nor serious, full of mockery and displeasure, made King Ning on the side weak in the knees and almost lost his balance.

"As you can see, they are all those ignorant ministers. I have absolutely no intention of taking a concubine and doing a beauty pageant."

The man didn't hesitate for a moment. Seeing his wife's unkind look, he immediately started to defend himself.

Jiang Lingyi glanced at him angrily, "I was in a very good mood when I received a letter from my father today, but now... I have been ruined by your men."

The man deliberately changed the subject and responded, "Well, what did my father-in-law say in his letter?"

Jiang Lingyi's tone was full of envy, "My parents took Yanqing and the three of them went down to the south of the Yangtze River together."

"Going to Jiangnan?"

Xiao Qiyu said suspiciously.

"Counting the days, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will return to the capital soon. Why didn't they take a good rest at the house and instead went to Jiangnan so suddenly?"

The woman's beautiful eyes turned and she couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so stupid? Isn't it obvious who you will think of first when talking about Jiangnan?"

"You mean that girl from the Meng family, Meng Xian?"

"Who else could it be for?"

Xiao Qiyu found this a bit unbelievable, "Is it possible that Jiang Yanqing and this Miss Meng have reached the point of discussing marriage?"

"This is a little too fast."

Jiang Lingyi didn't think it was that it had been almost a year since the two of them had known each other, which wasn't too fast. "

Xiao Qiyu was obviously thinking deeper, "Can my father-in-law and mother-in-law really agree to this marriage?"

Jiang Lingyi crossed his arms in front of his chest and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"

Realizing that his wife had a misunderstanding, Xiao Qiyu hurriedly explained: "I swear, I have no contempt for Miss Meng or the Meng family, but this has been the custom of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce for many years. Do you think Yanqing and Miss Meng How much success can be achieved?"

Jiang Lingyi seemed to understand something: "What do you mean? Is it possible that someone else in the court wants to make a fuss about Yan Qing's marriage?"

"No, Yan Qing is clearly your right-hand man in everyone's eyes. If he marries a wealthy family again, it will give you another wing, but... he shouldn't be so stupid, right?"

He here is naturally a prince.

Xiao Qiyu chuckled, "You also said that the prince is not that stupid."

"Then do you think he will allow me to get involved with the Meng family?"

Jiang Lingyi was shocked by these words. She had never thought of this before.

"This……"

Xiao Qiyu's expression was solemn, "Xiao Qisheng is as guarding against me as he is against thieves. I think it would be extremely difficult to place someone of his own in the Ministry of Household Affairs. How could he let me make friends with the Meng family, who is extremely wealthy?"

"To put it bluntly, in this world, money can make things go round. With money, what can't you do?"

Jiang Lingyi naturally understands this. "Are you saying that the prince will obstruct Yan Qing's marriage?"

"Whether it's obstruction or trouble, they have all the means to prevent this marriage from going smoothly."

Jiang Lingyi: "You mean...the prince will attack the Meng family?"

Xiao Qiyu shook his head, "The old tree is packed with roots. Even the prince of the Meng family cannot uproot this century-old tree; what's more, under the premise that the Meng family has no huge fault, he rashly touches a huge and well-known tree. No matter how the family looks at it, this is an extremely stupid thing, and the prince will not do this."

Jiang Lingyi gradually realized, "Yes, the Meng family is a piece of fat, and if it is used properly, it will be an inexhaustible cornucopia. How can the prince destroy it so easily."

Xiao Qiyu looked solemn, "So, the family is naturally happy to see the matter between Yan Qing and Meng Xian come to an end."

"But one is the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, and the other is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family in Jiangnan. There are too many people who are not happy with this marriage."

Jiang Lingyi had been thinking about the auspicious days of the zodiac, but when she heard what her husband said, she couldn't help but feel worried again.

Xiao Qiyu held his wife's hand and silently gave her strength and comfort.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are so smart. They must have thought of everything we can think of. And Jiang Yanqing, that guy is like a monkey. He can be frightened by anything."

"Furthermore, if we think that the prince's party can succeed so easily, we would be looking down on the Meng family too much."

Jiang Lingyi was thoughtful about the last sentence the man lowered his voice.

"hope so."

"Yanqing's temperament seems to have already taken Lianxiao into his heart. Anyone who dares to stop this marriage will do whatever it takes."

Xiao Qiyu: "I know, don't worry. In order to prevent this kid from getting emotional and losing his mind, I immediately wrote a letter to Jiang Yanqing and explained to him the great points one by one. He will understand."

Jiang Lingyi smiled helplessly, "That's not necessary, my brother is not that stupid."

"Hey, it's hard to say. Things that have nothing to do with you have always led to chaos. My husband can be said to have done everything right. Back then, I was set up by Xiao Qisheng for my marriage."

Recalling the past, Jiang Lingyi's face was full of tenderness and sweetness, "Okay, okay, I can't speak to you."

"Now I only hope that Yanqing and Lingxiao can be like us as soon as possible."

Xiao Qiyu took his wife into his arms, leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek, "I will."

"Now that the matter of Yan Qing is over, should the prince continue to explain this envelope?" Jiang Lingyi smiled sweetly and asked deliberately.

"Well...it's getting late, let's go to bed early and get ready."

After saying that, he picked up the person in his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

Jiang Lingyi blushed under the servant's gaze and struggled slightly, "Put me down and I'll go by myself."

"We are already an old married couple, why are you so shy?" The man disagreed.

And soon after, the movement from the dormitory proved that——

This old couple is not that old couple.
