Just when the brother and sister were at a loss, Qi Mu hurried in.

"Master, someone from Prince Chen's Mansion said that Princess Chen asked you to come over as soon as possible. She has something important to discuss with you."

Li Yaxuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Second brother, my cousin also knows about this. She asked you to come over to discuss countermeasures with you. My cousin and her husband always have more ideas and are more capable than us. Maybe they can really come up with a solution. I'll go with you. With so many of us, we can always come up with a solution."

Li Zhehao nodded and sighed deeply, "This is the only solution for now."

Li Yaxuan stepped forward and took the second brother's hand, comforting him: "Second brother, don't be so pessimistic. You keep sighing, and all your good luck has been scared away by you."

"I'm not pessimistic, but I feel a little guilty about having to trouble my cousin and her husband whenever I have something to do."

Li Yaxuan said disapprovingly, "Don't think like that, second brother. We are all family. Cousin won't blame you. Cousin has always treated us as family. If you don't tell her about something, she will be sad. Besides, Sister Ning'er is the sister of cousin's husband. They must be very concerned about this matter. Don't think too much."

Li Zhehao nodded and said, "Xuan'er, you are right. Let's set off quickly and don't let my cousin and her husband wait anxiously."

The Li siblings rushed to Prince Chen's Mansion as quickly as possible, but they didn't expect that Xiao Qingning and Xiao Qingying were also there.

"Ning'er, you're here too?"

"Zhehao!"

As soon as she saw Li Zhehao, Xiao Qingning immediately threw herself into his arms.

Li Zhehao put his arms around her and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Xiao Qingning's originally tense emotions completely collapsed the moment she saw Li Zhehao, and she sobbed softly in his arms.

"Zhehao, what should we do? I want to be with you forever and don't want to go to marry. But if I don't go, it will make father embarrassed, I..."

Li Zhehao gently stroked Xiao Qingning's back and soothed her softly, "Ning'er, don't worry. I understand your difficulties. There will always be a way."

Xiao Qingning slowly left Li Zhehao's arms and said aggrievedly: "The only way now is to let Ye Hengjing change his mind, but he is not easy to talk to. I am worried that he will not agree."

Li Zhehao gently wiped the tears from Xiao Qingning's face and comforted her, "I'm here to discuss countermeasures with my cousin and her husband. Don't cry first, be good."

After calming Xiao Qingning down, everyone began to seriously discuss countermeasures.

"Hao'er, we have just discussed that Ye Hengjing is the only breakthrough in the matter of marriage. The current plan is to persuade him to change his mind."

Li Zhehao frowned slightly when he heard this. "I have thought about this, but since Ye Hengjing came here with the mission of a marriage between the two countries, it may not be easy to get him to give in."

Li Yaxuan at the side said at the right time: "I don't think so. Although the marriage between the two countries is inevitable, there is still room for discussion on the candidate for the marriage. Ye Hengjing said yesterday that their country only wants the identity of a princess. As for who this person is, no one cares. From what he said, he has no intention of the marriage, but because of the responsibility on his shoulders, he has no choice but to do it."

Although Ye Hengjing's statement yesterday that both her and her cousin were good seemed more like a joke, the meaning behind it is worth further investigation.

Ye Hengjing said this after she expressed Xiao Qingning's willingness to resist yesterday.

Li Yaxuan didn't have time to think about it further at that time. Now she thinks that he was probably reminding them that the candidate for marriage did not have to be Xiao Qingning.

Given Ye Hengjing's identity, he certainly couldn't tell them directly, but his hints seemed obvious.

He didn't care who the marriage partner was, as long as she was a princess and he could go back and report to her, that would be enough.

However, Ye Hengjing could not say this directly, but asked them to understand it themselves and take the initiative to discuss it with him.

Lin Qingyao agreed with what he said, "Ye Hengjing did say something like that yesterday. If you think about it carefully, he might be reminding us that the candidate for this marriage must be Ning'er."

"Yes, cousin, I just figured it out. Was Ye Hengjing giving us a hint yesterday? He couldn't take the initiative to say that we didn't need Sister Ning'er to arrange a marriage, so he could only hint at it and remind us to take the initiative."

Lin Qingyao carefully thought about what Ye Hengjing said yesterday and nodded.

"That's true. Just as Ning'er said, it doesn't have to be the emperor's biological daughter to be a princess. As long as the emperor grants the title, whoever he wants can be the princess. Since ancient times, there have been precedents of emperors granting the title of princess to replace their daughters in marriage. As long as Ye Hengjing agrees, the person can be replaced."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning initially felt hopeful, but on second thought, a new problem arose.

"That being said, who would be willing to go and marry for me? Even if Weiyuan Country isn't that far away, I'm afraid I'll never see my family again in my lifetime. Which woman would agree to that?"

Seeing Xiao Qingning's mood getting lower again, Li Yaxuan hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Ning'er, don't be so negative. After all, everyone has different ideas. Maybe someone is willing. Although this trip is away from home, it is not a bad thing to see the scenery outside the Great Qi Kingdom. Besides, Ye Hengjing is very outstanding in all aspects. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no one who likes him. If it is for the person you like, even if it is to marry far away in another country, I think there will be people willing, at least I am willing."

Li Yaxuan's words made Li Zhehao a little alert, "Xuan'er, you said this, don't tell me you like Ye Hengjing?"

Li Yaxuan denied it repeatedly after hearing it: "Second brother, what are you talking about? Of course not. Ye Hengjing's words are so harsh and he looks so sinister and cunning. I won't like him even if the conditions are good. I just said that I just expressed my wishes. As long as I can be with the person I like, I am willing to go anywhere."

Li Zhehao felt a little relieved when he saw Li Yaxuan's look of disgust when she mentioned Ye Hengjing.

"That's the best. Don't even think about it. You know how much your family treasures you. How could they let you marry so far away?"

Li Yaxuan retorted helplessly: "Second brother, what are you talking about? We are trying to find a solution for you now, why are you dragging me into this?"

Xiao Jingxuan said at the right time: "Okay, you brothers and sisters should say less. Xuan'er's words make sense. As long as Ye Hengjing can agree to change the person, we can discuss who to change to later. So, I will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to Ye Hengjing. If he can agree, I will report to my father and ask him to choose someone who can satisfy Ye Hengjing to replace Ning'er in the marriage."
