Shen Ning was about to go back, but Princess Changle sent someone to find her, forcing her to go back.

Li Kun and the others were sent away. Those noble ladies either left with their brothers or fiancés, or hid from the devil Qin Zhuo. In the end, it was so quiet that only the two of them were left here.

Princess Changle looked a little irritable and tired, but when she saw Shen Ning coming over, she cheered up and smiled.

"Well now, they're all gone, it's just the two of us."

Shen Ning sat down: "Princess, did you ask me to come back? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Princess Changle glanced at her unhappily and said, "If I'm fine, then I can't call you?"

"Of course I can." Shen Ning didn't resist at all. Whatever the princess said was right.

Princess Changle looked at her and sighed: "Mother knows that I asked you out to play, so she asked me to ask you about your marriage plans."

marriage?

Shen Ning raised her eyes. She thought that there was no need for Princess Qi to interfere in her marriage.

"The princess doesn't want me to be the prince's concubine, does she?"

Princess Changle quickly shook her head: "No, no, my mother has long given up the idea. She has ignored my brother for some time, as if she wanted to let him fend for himself. And with your experience as a precedent, she doesn't dare to propose marriage to my brother, fearing that the marriage will not take place and we will become enemies instead."

"My mother really admires you. Although my brother is blind, there is no shortage of young talents in both the royal family and my maternal grandfather's family. She just wanted to ask what you think. I guess she wants to be a matchmaker."

The Princess of Qi acted as her matchmaker, which was a great honor.

This question was a bit abrupt, but Shen Ning really considered it seriously.

The status of the Princess of Qi was there, which meant that this marriage would not be too low, and the Princess of Qi liked her and even had some compensation in mind. So Shen Ning could make appropriate requests and be a little greedy and move closer to someone with higher power and noble status, and the Princess of Qi might agree.

This is an opportunity.

Shen Ning has always wanted a powerful backer, and this is her chance to choose a powerful backer.

If it were just her own status, she wouldn't be able to get into a very noble family no matter how high she went. But with the advice of the Princess of Qi, her level could at least jump up two or three levels.

Shen Ning is strong, but she is more rational.

As a woman, she supported the Shen family and faced all the hardships head on, so she knew better than anyone how many difficulties a family would encounter without a male head.

She had no love in her heart, and she got married only because she wanted to marry a man with a promising future. Having a man in her way would save her from many difficulties.

Wei Congwen could barely be called a young talent, but he was far from those gifted children of heaven and noble sons.

But Shen Ning felt that he had a clean family background and was somewhat knowledgeable. As long as she gave him her full support after marriage, she would be able to help him rise rapidly in the officialdom.

What she wants is not love or a husband, but a high wall that can block the ravages of wind and rain.

In her previous life, she gave up the idea after she became sick. In this life, she is healthy and has escaped the predicament put in place by Wei Congwen and Shen Shu. Now she can choose an excellent man to marry, and be a good wife according to her original plan, assist her husband, be the mistress of the household, and protect the Shen family.

Now the olive branch extended by the Princess of Qi has given her a wider range of choices. If she could really marry into a prominent family or a relative of the Qing imperial family, she could at least work less for thirty years.

The opportunity he had always wanted suddenly appeared before him, and Shen Ning was a little confused.

She could instantly think of the benefits she could get, but at the same time she could also sense her inner reluctance. She didn't want to seize this opportunity, and she didn't really want to get married.

Moreover, she has a low social status. If she really were to marry into those noble families, she would only be bullied by others. How could she be the one to manage the family and hold power and do whatever she wants?

"Shen Ning is very grateful for your kindness, Princess, but I really haven't given this marriage much thought. I need to think about it carefully."

Nothing is absolute, she couldn't just reject it outright, or the Princess of Qi would think she was ungrateful.

Princess Changle didn't think she would agree immediately, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then tell me when you've made up your mind. If you have a favorite candidate, my mother will come forward and make sure your wish comes true."

Shen Ning smiled. The Qi Palace was really full of bad things. Everyone in the palace got along well with each other, except for the Crown Prince Li Kun... It's hard to describe.

After talking about Shen Ning, Princess Changle talked about her marriage: "I can't come out after tomorrow. The seventh day of September is the day I get married. Can you come to accompany me on the sixth night?"

According to etiquette, a woman cannot go out one month before her marriage. She must stay at home and cannot meet her fiancé.

The day before the wedding, you can invite your best friends to come and accompany you. These people will bring gifts to add to your makeup, some of which are commercially available, and some are hand-made embroidery items.

He could also stay overnight and talk to the bride to relieve her tension and anxiety, just like Du Yunzhi came to accompany Shen Ning before.

Generally speaking, the night before the wedding, the bride invites her closest and most trusted friends to spend her last night as a girl with her. This will also make the relationship between the two people closer and stronger, and will be remembered for a lifetime.

How long had she known Princess Changle? How many times had they met?

No matter how you look at it, they can't be very close to each other.

Seeing her hesitation, Princess Changle was unhappy: "You don't want to?"

Shen Ning said bluntly: "It's not that I don't want to, I'm just a little surprised. The princess has many good friends, and I've only met the princess a few times. Why would the princess choose me?"

Princess Changle: "Not only you, there is another person."

But it's quite abrupt to add her here.

Princess Changle couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this: "Look at you like this, can I still eat you?"

"As you said, we haven't met many times, but I feel very comfortable with you. We feel like old friends from the moment we met. This is a feeling that some people who have known each other since childhood cannot give me."

"Maybe we don't know each other well enough today, but I believe that as we spend more time together in the future, we will become the closest of friends. I'm giving you this opportunity now because I don't want you to feel regretful when I remember that I didn't invite you in the future."

After saying that, he caught her little thought and tempted her: "How about becoming my closest friend? I will protect you in the future. Do you want this opportunity?"

Shen Ning: “…”

So, why is she looking for a noble man to marry? Isn't it better to cling to the princess' thigh? Is the princess not attractive?

"Ah..." She sighed, then happily threw herself into the princess' arms: "It's an honor."

There is no reason to refuse, I can't refuse at all.

However, Shen Ning couldn't be happy when he thought about the ending of Princess Changle in her previous life, in which she became a nun and lived with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.

Shen Ning tried to persuade her, but Princess Changle still chose to get married, even though the man she loved in her heart was Li Shaobai.

It is not easy for the Prince of Qi's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, one is a royal relative and the other is a powerful official, to reach an agreement on a marriage. Without sufficient reasons, the marriage cannot be cancelled, and Princess Changle is not a willful girl like Shen Shu.

It is inevitable that this marriage will continue.

I sighed silently in my heart: "If we don't get married, is there anything you want to do, Princess?"

"Yes." Princess Changle looked into the distance, her eyes full of longing: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I dream of traveling the world with a sword, doing justice. I also like to read military books, and I have thought about leading troops to fight and kill the enemy. I know that life must be very hard, and I might even lose my life, but sometimes just thinking about it makes my blood boil. It's a pity that I am a girl..."

The last sentence is full of regret.
