Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Earlier, the Marquis of Anyuan asked His Majesty to grant him a marriage. Your Highness was far away in Shanxi on an inspection tour, and he always felt sorry for the governor," He Lang seemed to sigh when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "This is very good. If he knew that Madam and Lord Hong were in love, he would be very pleased."

This was said with great skill, in a way that was both intimate and eccentric, but it said everything that one wanted to reveal.

After hearing this, Anan realized that He Lang should be a capable man around the prince. He secretly congratulated Yuan Yi for being a smart guy, and also congratulated himself for being law-abiding, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Lang immediately ordered someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over. After searching for a long time, the person looked up at He Lang with some annoyance and said, "Eunuch, there are two houses near the palace, but one has been allocated to the Ministry of Personnel for temporary use, and the other is..."

"Your Highness stayed at Mingxiangju outside the palace before." Before the man could finish hesitating, He Lang spoke first.

He had lived in this house with the prince for half a year and was very familiar with it. He turned around to look at Anan in front of him, lowered his head and smiled knowingly.

Anan was secretly shocked. She really didn't expect that she would actually set her sights on the prince. She smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything else.

"Your Highness is the regent and is busy with many things. He is not allowed to leave the palace normally. If he has some free time, he has to go around and inspect. Mingxiangju has been empty for many years." He Lang looked at the sun and smiled, "I think Your Highness has finished his work now. Madam, please take a rest. Allow me to ask Your Highness for instructions."

After saying this to He Lang, he rode away on horseback. Anan had only met the Crown Prince once. He seemed calm, generous, open-minded, and very fond of Jin Liu and also very concerned about Hong Ze. However, he was not familiar with them, so he was still nervous.

He Lang did a good job. Even if he really went into the imperial city to ask the prince for instructions, he had someone take Anan to a clean house. After drinking two cups of tea, He Lang came back, and Hongze came back with him.

"My lord, now that I'm back, I'll leave first." He Lang said goodbye with a smile.

Anan let out a long sigh, took his arm and leaned over, smiling awkwardly, "Did I cause you any trouble?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a little surprised to know that you chose Mingxiangju, but he is very happy." Hongze held her hand. He and Lang had long wanted to make friends with the Yuan family. Since Hongze was now in an important position, Anan just chose the house. However, he exaggerated and boasted, saying that Hongze now had a virtuous wife to worry about. He also said that they had chosen seven or eight houses outside, but the lady didn't like them at all until she saw Mingxiangju. On the one hand, it was close to the imperial city, which was enough to relieve Hongze's pain of getting up early. On the other hand, Mingxiangju was supposed to be the residence of His Highness the Crown Prince, and it would have great blessings, so it would be the first choice even if it was located among the mansions.

After these few words, the prince, who had not smiled for several days, smiled happily.

Even Hongze, who had a close relationship with the prince, had to admit that He Lang was an absolutely capable person. No wonder he could always be by the prince's side.

After hearing what he said, Anan finally felt relieved after a day of suspense. However, she still held him tightly and refused to let go, saying angrily, "You clearly agreed to come with me, but you insisted on letting me go alone. If you do this again next time, I will be very angry!"

Because the emperor was in a bad mood, the number of memorials submitted recently has been reduced. The censors, who usually liked to make noise in the court, have also been exceptionally well-behaved and quiet. After court today, Hongze was worried about his beloved wife and was about to leave the palace. However, on the way out, he was stopped by the prince to talk and even invited to have lunch. Seeing that he was absent-minded, the prince remembered the promise of choosing a house yesterday, and ordered He Lang to come out in person.

Hongze smiled indulgently, without any explanation, and just nodded in agreement.

Bi'an, who was standing by, saw this scene and knitted his brows together. He pulled Jiuling and whispered, "Look at our master. He used to be a man of integrity, but now he has married and become a wife slave!"

Jiu Ling glanced at him and whispered, "Is your skin itchy again?"

After Anan left Xinyun Manor, Bian complained a few words and was punished to do extra training. The pain and excitement still shuddered when he thought about it, so he immediately shut up.
