The old lady was such a shrewd person, she immediately understood what Fang Yueqing meant.

She originally thought that Fang Yueqing would have to think about it for a while, but she didn't expect that she would come up with this idea so quickly, and she was overjoyed.

Calculating time, Lin Yanming's injury should be healed. It seems that the matter of bringing the two together will be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The old lady smiled and said: "The third child's injury has almost healed. I think he will be able to move freely in the next few days. You don't have to worry. By the way, you haven't seen the third child yet, have you? You will be able to see him in a few days. Here we are, the third child is a filial person and will come to say hello to me every day unless there is anything special."

Fang Yueqing nodded when she heard this. The old lady was going to arrange a formal meeting for them and remind her to dress up properly.

Everything was going smoothly on Lin Qingyao's side, but Xiao Jingyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Concubine Ji Shu just came back from the Queen and brought back some not-so-good news.

Xiao Chenyu was very angry about what happened at the palace banquet that day, and asked the queen to choose a concubine for Xiao Jingyi as soon as possible, so that he could calm down and not be seduced by Hu Meizi.

With Xiao Jingyi's current reputation, it would not be a good idea for any girl from a good family to be willing to marry her.

Zhou Menglin didn't want to care about Xiao Jingyi's troubles, and she didn't want to be thanked for her efforts.

Zhou Menglin was thinking about how to evade the matter when she suddenly remembered that Xiao Chenyu had personally promised Xiao Jingyi that he would choose his own concubine.

Zhou Menglin used this as an excuse to push the matter out and let mother and son make their own choices.

In the past, Concubine Ji Shu would have been happy, but in this situation, no one would be willing to do so.

Originally, they thought that if they couldn't win over Lin Qingyao, her cousin Li Yaxuan was not bad either. After all, she was the only daughter of Marquis Wu'an.

But given the current situation, let alone Li Yaxuan, any girl from a better family background would be willing to marry the already famous Xiao Jingyi.

"Concubine, can you please help me think of a solution?"

Concubine Ji Shu sighed after hearing this, "It's not that my mother-in-law doesn't help you find a way. We have searched all over for suitable candidates these days, but no one is willing. Marriage must be something that others are willing to do, and we can't force them. Ah. What's more, we are interested in reputable people in the capital, and we can't force them."

Xiao Jingyi actually understood that his mother-in-law had tried his best, but now he had no choice but to ask her mother-in-law for help.

At first, he was thinking of using this method to get Lin Qingyao, but he didn't care about these details.

But now this person has become Lin Qingrou, and he has to marry a concubine with a powerful family background, but he didn't expect that his reputation would become a liability at this time.

Xiao Jingyi was resentful in his heart, these people were really snobbish.

In the past, everyone was vying to marry their daughter to him, but now they all avoid it.

"Mother and concubine, what else can we do now? Without Lin Qingyao, we have to choose someone with a similar family background. Otherwise, how can we succeed in our big plan?"

Concubine Ji Shu thought for a moment and sighed.

"For now, I can only go back and beg the queen. We don't have the ability to force others, but she does. You have seen how snobbish those people are. Even if you don't want to, the queen still has to give her face. This is Leave it to the Queen, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."

Xiao Jingyi became a little anxious when he heard this. How could he leave such an important matter in the hands of the enemy?

"Mother, are you confused? The queen has always disliked our mother and son. How could she properly choose a concubine for her son? Aren't you afraid that he would choose a crooked wife for his son? We can't object at that time. "

Concubine Ji Shu glared at Xiao Jingyi, "You kid, how can you talk to the concubine? The concubine is old, but she is not confused yet. Since your father proposed this matter, he will naturally check it for you. No matter you No matter what you do wrong, you are his son, and he will not allow the queen to act like this. Besides, the queen is not stupid, how could she do it so obviously for you? If something goes wrong, it would be a dereliction of duty on her part.”

When Xiao Jingyi heard this, he smiled and said: "Concubine, my son was a little anxious just now, and I didn't think of this aspect for a moment. Concubine, you are more thoughtful, so let the queen choose for me."

Concubine Ji Shu felt a little worried, "What do you think is this a good job? The queen obviously doesn't want to take care of this matter, so she has to find a way to make her unable to refuse."

"If you want the queen to be unable to refuse, then you can only ask your father. Concubine, you don't know how cunning the queen is. As long as she doesn't want to, no matter what you say, she can find a way around it. Although my father sometimes also We will be persuaded by her, but now we can only place our hope on our father."

Concubine Ji Shu thought about it, and this seemed to be the only way.

"Okay, then let's go find your father. After we go there, you can sincerely admit your mistake and act pitiful. If your father is soft-hearted, he might agree."

Although Xiao Jingyi was reluctant in his heart, he still had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden for their grand plan.

"I understand, mother-in-law, please cooperate with me when the time comes."

After the mother and son were in a good mood, they went to Xiao Chenyu to cry.

The mother and son worked hard and complimented Zhou Menglin, and finally succeeded in achieving their goal.

Zhou Menglin didn't expect that this matter would go round and round and finally come back to her.

Zhou Menglin also had difficulties with this thankless job.

In this situation, no matter who you choose, you will offend others. Zhou Menglin has no clue and can only call Xiao Qingning to discuss it.

Gu Wei is about to give birth, Xiao Jinghui has not cared about anything else recently and has been watching her almost every day, so Zhou Menglin can't bother him with this matter anymore.

Jamel Xiao was preparing for the wedding in the palace, and was extremely busy every day. Recently, he rarely came to the palace to pay her respects.

Xiao Qingyu and Xiao Qingli were also busy in their own ways. After much deliberation, Xiao Qingning was the most free, and Zhou Menglin could only talk to her.

When Xiao Qingning heard about this, she couldn't help but curse: "Mother, these mother and son are really disgusting. Why don't they think of you for the good things? This kind of bad thing is blamed on you."

Zhou Menglin sighed after hearing this, "That's right. I've already shied away once, and I can't shirk it anymore. The problem is that Xiao Jingyi's reputation is already bad. No matter who he chooses, he will offend people. This is really It’s difficult.”

Xiao Qingning thought for a moment, "Isn't there anyone who particularly likes Fourth Brother and doesn't despise him?"

Xiao Qingning just muttered softly while thinking, but Zhou Menglin heard it.

"Xiao Jingyi has always pretended to be very good. It is possible to say that there is a girl in the boudoir who is obsessed with him. But we don't know about it. Even if there is such a person, we don't know. We can't go around asking. ? After all, choosing a concubine for the prince is a major matter for the royal family, and it cannot be made public. "
