Ming Sheng did not notice Ming Jin's change at that moment. She still held the teacup and continued to talk to herself: "A few days ago, when I attended a banquet, some people at the table were worried that the prince was aloof and would not take care of others."

"But now it seems that those people are worrying too much. The prince should be a very good husband."

As Ming Sheng spoke, he recalled the performance of the King of Chang'an before, glanced at the whole peeled orange on the table, and nodded seriously.

At least she had followed her seventh sister to meet the prince several times and she felt that the prince was a good person and not at all as aloof as others said.

Ming Jin still kept his eyes down.

She had already returned to normal before anyone noticed anything was wrong with her.

Hearing Ming Sheng say this, she just said in a natural tone: "He will definitely be a very good husband."

The wind blew up the curtains behind us.

Ming Jin put down the teacup in his hand that he had not yet taken a sip of, and suddenly turned his head to look out the car window behind him.

Ming Sheng just thought she was enjoying the scenery and didn't say anything.

After an unknown amount of time, Ming Jin suddenly asked, "Fifth sister, do you know who His Majesty and His Majesty favor?"

"what?"

Ming Sheng didn't understand for a moment, and then she responded, "Ah, are you asking about the candidate for the prince?" She said truthfully, "I heard that several candidates have been selected. After all, the prince is in a high position and has great power, and a girl who is too young cannot control him."

"In addition to the several unmarried ladies from our capital, there are also several girls from outside. One is the daughter of General Lu from the Lu family in Hejian Prefecture, and the other is Miss Zhao from the Jining Prefecture. I heard that the queen has sent invitations to them to come to the capital for a banquet."

This is the first time I see Seventh Sister asking about other people's affairs.

Ming Sheng was a little surprised.

She thought that Seventh Sister didn't like to talk about these gossips, but she didn't expect...

Ming Sheng regretted for a moment that she had not asked more questions at that time. Now she could only briefly talk to her seventh sister. She said to Ming Jin, "If your seventh sister wants to know, I will ask someone to find out more about it later."

"no need."

Ming Jin refused directly.

She probably knew who these two girls were.

She was the daughter of General Lu of Hejian Prefecture. She came from a family of generals for generations and could be said to be a good match for a good daughter. She once disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield.

As for Miss Zhao from Jining Prefecture, Mingjin had heard even more about her.

The Zhao family is a family of scholars and has produced countless talented people and scholars. Although they have faded out of the court in recent years, during the Taizu period, the Zhao family had opened up the country for the Gu family and made many contributions.

Over the years, the Zhao family has always had a good reputation in Jining.

This Miss Zhao has an even better reputation. She comes from a legitimate family, has means and abilities, and it is said that she is sought after by many families in Jining.

It’s a pity that she hasn’t gotten married yet because she has to observe mourning for her elders at home.

Ming Jin had met Miss Zhao in his previous life.

Even in her previous life, this Miss Zhao had met Gu Mingheng, but unfortunately Gu Mingheng died suddenly and the plan never came to fruition.

She has already reminded Gu Mingheng in this life that he has no plans to return to the border in the near future. This should work, right?

Your Majesty and Your Majesty are in a hurry.

He didn't seem to have any intention of not getting married.

It should work, right?

There was a gentle breeze outside. Ming Jin was watching people coming and going outside the car window. Although her gaze was empty and she didn't know where it was looking, her heart was very calm.

She hoped he would succeed.

Whether it is Miss Lu, Miss Zhao, or the ladies from other families.

Given the importance and love that Your Majesty and Your Majesty place on him, the wife they choose for him must be the best choice.

No matter who he chooses, he will definitely be happy.

That's fine.

She hoped that he would be happy.

He has been trapped for her for too many years and should live his own life.

"Any happy news?"

Ming Sheng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Ming Jin turned around and hummed softly, with the last tone rising in a questioning tone.

Ming Sheng looked at her and smiled: "You seem to be very happy now."

Ming Jin raised an eyebrow.

He did not deny it: "I am very happy."

She hasn't seen clearly into her own heart yet, or maybe she has, but this doesn't stop her from being happy for him.

She was very happy.

Not sorry about that.

She took the orange from the table and started eating it slowly.

Oranges are sweet.

She eats very slowly.

……

the other side.

After the Mingjin sisters left.

Gu Mingheng and Zhang Shouyi also left.

The bill was settled by Zhang Shouyi.

Gu Mingheng didn't refuse and let him pay.

On the way out, Zhang Shouyi also talked about the Qianqiu Banquet.

"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated the prince yet."

"Ok?"

Gu Mingheng was still thinking about Mingjin's strange behavior just now. Hearing this, he glanced at Zhang Shouyi and didn't understand: "Congratulations on what?"

Zhang Shouyi smiled and said, "I heard that His Majesty and His Majesty are going to choose a princess for you at the Qianqiu Banquet. Several ladies from the capital have received invitations, and even General Lu's family in Hejian Prefecture has received invitations."

In the past few years, the prince only came back during the New Year.

Now that it has finally been confirmed, they are naturally happy to see it.

When Gu Mingheng heard this, he frowned slightly.

He knew this too.

In recent times, apart from handling official duties, my brother has been with the emperor's sister-in-law, who has been taking care of this matter for him, and she seems to be planning on letting him get married this year.

It stands to reason.

Originally, he had promised this himself, so it was normal.

But for some reason, when Zhang Shouyi congratulated him like this, he suddenly became speechless.

"Your Majesty?"

Zhang Shouyi didn't hear Gu Mingheng's voice. When he looked up, he saw that his brows were furrowed and his expression looked a little bad.

His heart tightened.

Even the tone of his voice became more hesitant: "Did this humble official say something wrong?"

"No."

Gu Mingheng replied: "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he patted Zhang Shouyi on the shoulder, told him not to take it to heart, and then walked out.

Zhang Shouyi is a rough man after all.

Seeing that Gu Mingheng said it was okay, he didn't think about it anymore and followed him again with a smile.

The days passed quickly.

A few days later, it was the day when Mingjin opened the door to entertain guests.

The banquet was scheduled for lunch.

But early in the morning of that day, Aunt Pei and Shen Daqing led the people inside and outside to get busy. Chunyu and Huasui were also very busy that day.

After all, this was Mingjin's first time hosting a dinner party at the Princess's Mansion.

Although those who came were close friends and relatives and there were not so many rules, the people in the Princess's Mansion naturally hoped to do everything to perfection and not to bring shame to Mingjin.

On the contrary, Mingjin, the host, didn't know what to do for a moment.

I simply took Yingge and Abao to look at the venue for today.

Because today is a holiday.

Abao was taken back yesterday.

He had grown much taller and wasn't as thin since Ming Jin first saw him. He was much more cheerful and finally looked like a kid of his age.

Ming Jin saw him looking outside from time to time, and knew who he was looking at, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Go wait outside, Xiao Huai will probably be here soon."

When Abao heard this, he immediately exclaimed happily.

But before running, he glanced at Brother Ying first. Seeing Brother Ying nodded, he immediately ran out with a smile on his face.

"He looks much more cheerful." Ming Jin said, looking at A Bao's figure.

Brother Ying nodded softly and looked at Mingjin again.

Ming Jin was being looked at by her, and seeing her red lips slightly parted, he knew what she was going to say, and said with a smile, "You don't have to say thank you."

Brother Ying was choked for a rare moment, and a trace of regret flashed across his face.

Mingjin looked at her and smiled.

She started checking the place where she would have dinner today.

Not many people were invited, but Gu Mingheng was there after all. Mingjin was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable sitting together, so he divided the original large table into two small tables and placed them in the same room, not too far apart, with a screen as a cover, so that they would not feel uncomfortable eating and drinking together.

Wu Ji and his friends placed their things in the yard and turned around to meet Shen Daqing and his friends.

window.

Mingjin also had them all opened.

The scenery in the mansion is nice. I can eat while looking at the scenery outside later. The weather is very good today. I can open the window and feel the wind outside.

Just as Mingjin was checking, a burst of laughter was heard outside.

Brother Ying took a look, then turned around and said to Mingjin, "It's Miss Fifth and the others who are here."

"Ah."

Mingjin responded.

She moved the orchid on the long table to a position that she felt was more comfortable, then she withdrew her hand with satisfaction and walked out.

Not only my second brother and his friends came, but also Sister Xu.

Ming Jin smiled and went over to greet them, saying, "You're here."

On the other side, Gu Changxuan, who had just returned to Beijing, had just arrived at the gate of the mansion. From a distance, he saw several carriages driving into the alley. He frowned and asked, "Where are they going?"
