Li Yaxuan's worry was really necessary. Ye Hengjing was indeed a little confused when he heard the name Wu'an Hou, but as soon as he heard the name Princess Chen, he naturally knew what was going on.

"Oh, so you are the cousin of Princess Chen. Miss Li, right? I don't understand what you just said. The Fifth Princess is clearly not married yet, so how can she be your second sister-in-law?"

When asked by Ye Hengjing, Li Yaxuan felt a little guilty.

But in order to help her second brother protect his sweetheart, Li Yaxuan knew that she couldn't back down now and had to go ahead.

"Second Prince, don't act like you have everything under control. There are many things you don't know. My second brother and Sister Ning'er have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. How can you interfere?"

After hearing what Li Yaxuan said, Ye Hengjing chuckled.

"I understand what Miss Li means. It means that the Fifth Princess and your second brother have a good relationship, but she is not your second sister-in-law yet. They haven't even settled their engagement yet. Am I right?"

Li Yaxuan frowned slightly when she heard this. How come this person is so good at grasping the key points?

She had clearly tried to avoid this matter, so how come she couldn't avoid it in the end?

"Can you please listen to others? I mean, they have already decided on each other, so please stop making trouble. Even if His Majesty really agrees to let Sister Ning'er marry, you will only marry a body, and her heart will always be with my second brother. What's the point of this to you?"

Ye Hengjing didn't care when he heard this and said, "Miss Li, what you said is a bit ungenerous. The marriage between the two countries is supposed to exclude personal feelings. As long as she is present, it's fine. As for whether her heart is there, I don't care at all."

Although Li Yaxuan couldn't understand what Ye Hengjing said, she had to admit that it was true.

Even for ordinary people, marriages are mostly arranged by parents and matchmakers, and many of them are complete strangers before getting married.

This is the case for ordinary families, let alone the royal family.

Moreover, the marriage involves the relationship between the two countries and should not be underestimated.

Although Li Yaxuan understood the reason, when this matter happened to her relatives, Li Yaxuan said she could not just stand by and watch.

Li Yaxuan tried to persuade Ye Hengjing to try harder to help her second brother and sister-in-law.

"Second Prince, I understand what you just said, but I think there are too many things that people cannot choose in their lives, such as their parents and birth. These are determined when we are born and cannot be changed. But since we have the opportunity to change other things, why not give it a try?"

Seeing that Ye Hengjing didn't look disgusted, Li Yaxuan continued with confidence: "I don't think you really want to marry Sister Ning'er, but you are restricted by your status. You can fight for yourself. Although it is a marriage, you don't have to focus on Sister Ning'er alone. You can choose someone you like. In this way, you can not only help them, but also be happy. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Ye Hengjing's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yaxuan's words. Although he knew that Li Yaxuan said this to help Xiao Qingning get rid of him, he had never heard such an idea before, especially from such a little girl.

Ye Hengjing felt that the little girl in front of him was very interesting at the moment. He suddenly wanted to see how angry she would be after being teased. It must be very interesting.

Ye Hengjing nodded and said with a smile: "Well, what Miss Li said is not without reason. In fact, our country just needs a princess to marry. As for who this princess is, I think no one will care, and I don't care. But you just said that you want me to choose someone I like. I haven't found someone I like yet, but the only person who satisfies me is Princess Chen."

At first, Li Yaxuan was very happy. It seemed that Ye Hengjing took her words to heart.

Unexpectedly, the story took a sudden turn and ended up coming back to my cousin.

Li Yaxuan said helplessly, "Second Prince, do you have any misunderstanding of what I just said? I asked you to choose someone you like, but I didn't ask you to think about other people's wives. My cousin and her husband are a well-known loving couple, so you should stop wasting your time. There are so many outstanding women in the Great Qi Kingdom, why are you only focusing on these two? Second Prince, go out more and take a look. I believe you will definitely meet other satisfactory candidates."

Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this. Li Yaxuan's reaction was just as he expected. It was quite interesting.

"There are only two people I have met and am satisfied with, but Miss Li doesn't want me to think about her. In this case, how about you, Miss Li, come to marry the Fifth Princess? I think you are pretty good."

Li Yaxuan was shocked when she heard this. Ye Hengjing was really difficult to deal with. She had spent so much effort here, but why did she end up in trouble?

"No, why are you thinking about me again? Your Highness just met me for the first time today and doesn't know me at all. I have a lot of shortcomings. Don't think about me. It will not do you any good."

Seeing that Li Yaxuan was eager to distance herself from the matter, Ye Hengjing found it increasingly interesting.

"Miss Li, don't underestimate yourself. I think you are very good. I will definitely have a lot of fun with you by my side."

Li Yaxuan had only one feeling at this moment, she wanted to cry.

Li Yaxuan said helplessly: "Second Prince, please let me go. If you think I am satisfactory, can't I change it?"

Ye Hengjing smiled and moved closer to Li Yaxuan.

"Miss Li, you don't need to change anything. It's fine as it is now. I am very satisfied."

Li Yaxuan took a step away from Ye Hengjing with disgust, feeling a little panicked.

The original intention was just to help Xiao Qingning get rid of this marriage, but who would have thought that a new situation would arise.

Just when Li Yaxuan was getting so anxious that she didn't know how to get rid of this troublesome guy, the entrance of Prince Jin's Mansion started to get busy; the wedding procession had returned.

Li Yaxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This really saved her.

"The bride is here, let's go and watch the fun."

Li Yaxuan hurriedly pulled Xiao Qingning and Lin Qingyao and fled the scene without looking back.

Ye Hengjing did not leave, but smiled slightly as he watched Li Yaxuan's departing back.

Li Yaxuan patted her chest as she walked, "I was so scared, I almost got myself involved. Sister-in-law, I put a lot of effort into you and my brother, I almost got into trouble."
