At this time, Tongzi reminded, "Hanhan, it will be the Qixi Festival in three days, which is the day when Song Lian and the prince will meet."

"So fast?"

Yun Zhihan suddenly remembered that in the original book, the two met on this day, and Prince Murong Yan was attracted by Song Lian's skillful arts.

"Hanhan, you must prepare early. Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be tempted, otherwise the tragedy will happen again."

"Oh!" She was in a difficult situation. The other person was about to fall in love. How could she, an outsider, stop him?

"How about I learn the art of threading a needle and compete with Song Lian?"

Tongzi quickly rejected her idea. His master was very clear about everything and anything related to women's virtues and arts had nothing to do with her.

"Hanhan, I advise you to find another way, such as: preventing the Crown Prince from seeing Song Lian."

"Are you kidding me? The only people who can decide where the prince will go are the emperor and the empress. Who am I?"

"Is there really no other way?" Tongzi was unhappy. If the two of them got together again, what they had worked so hard to get would be lost.

"Let's talk about it later." Yun Zhihan couldn't think of a solution and was ready to give up. No matter what Tongzi said, she pretended not to hear and fell asleep and refused to get up.

On the other hand, Song Lian was actively practicing threading a needle.

Although Song Lian was a merchant woman, her mother taught her since childhood to abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and learn necessary needlework in order to win a man's heart.

It turned out that the mother was right.

In her previous life, she used this skill to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She also asked Murong Yan why he liked her?

The prince just said that he felt the maternal tenderness from her. In his impression, his mother had always been in charge of the harem and had never done this kind of needlework.

In addition, each concubine was very scheming, and all their thoughts were devoted to helping him succeed, which made him feel only utilitarianism, not maternal love.

But Song Lian's gentle and virtuous action made Murong Yan feel a kind of tenderness he had never experienced before, so he fell in love with her.

In addition, she had made great contributions in reporting the rebellion and helped him secure the throne. How could he miss such a good wife and mother?

In this life, without Xie Bochen's help, she can only rely on herself, first to attract Murong Yan's attention, and then find a way to sit on the position of Crown Princess.

……

The Chinese Valentine's Day.

The whole city is filled with a romantic atmosphere, especially for newlyweds, who are willing to come out together to enjoy the lanterns and compete in cleverness.

Or some men or women who are not yet engaged will go to visit the Seventh Sister, hoping to find their ideal person as soon as possible.

On this day, the emperor dressed in casual clothes and left the palace with Murong Yu and Murong Yan, followed by a group of guards.

Murong Yu invited the Xie family to travel together, of course, she mainly wanted to stay with Xie Boyuan.

The emperor did not bring the empress and concubines with him on this trip. Ever since he went to the Xie family last time, he has been thinking about Yun Zhihan. He took this opportunity to meet her and find out her feelings.

The two groups met at the street corner, and Xie Baiyuan saw Murong Yu at a glance.

"I will participate..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor.

"It is inconvenient to reveal my identity today. Sir Xie, please call me Master. Others can also address me as Young Master and Young Lady."

"Yes!" everyone replied.

"Yun Zhihan pays his respects to the master, young master, and eldest lady."

"Thank you, Madam."

"Thank you, sir."

The emperor glanced back and found that she had brought out three children, followed by two maids.

"Mrs. Xie, let's go for a walk together. Let the children lead the way. As elderly people, we should not disturb the conversation of the younger generation."

"Master, you are absolutely right." Yun Zhihan thought that he was just creating opportunities for Bai Yuan and the eldest princess, so he readily agreed.

So, the emperor and Yun Zhihan walked behind, followed by the imperial guards in plain clothes.

Jinshang followed Baijin, and Shuanghua followed Baichen.

The Crown Prince, the eldest princess and Xie Boyuan were together, but Murong Yu was extremely dissatisfied. Her brother was simply a big lantern, standing between her and Master Xie, and was extremely annoying.

"Yan'er, today is a good day. You are also at the age to get married. Why don't you go and pay your respects to Seventh Sister and pray for a good marriage."

The implication is: Hurry up and leave. Can't you see that Master Xie and I have something to talk about?

But Murong Yan didn't understand, and replied calmly, "Don't worry, elder sister. I'm busy with official duties now and don't have the heart to deal with such matters. Let's leave it to mother and father."

After hearing what he said, Xie Baiyuan felt disappointed as it seemed like he had no intention of leaving. He had prepared a lot of cheesy words that he wanted to whisper to Xiaoyu.

But with the prince beside him, he didn't have the face to say such shameless words and could only sigh softly.

At this moment, Xie Baijin suddenly thought of something interesting.

"Mom, I want to go over there. It won't be too far."

Yun Zhihan said worriedly, "You can go, but let Bo Chen and Shuang Hua go with you. Don't run around, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Chen'er, follow Jin'er and protect your sister, okay?"

"Don't worry, mom. I'm very powerful now."

Having said that, he followed Bai Jin.

Seeing this, the emperor reminded Murong Yan, "Yan'er, you should also go with us to broaden your horizons."

Why does this kid always stay around the young couple? He has no sense at all.

"Yes, father!"

Murong Yan didn't want to go, but since his father asked him to go, he didn't dare to refuse.

But Yun Zhihan was a little worried, because the direction Bai Jin was heading to was exactly where the competition was held. It seemed that fate was hard to defy! She sighed inwardly.

"Madam Xie, you look a little worried. Can you tell me what it is?" asked the emperor.

"It's okay, Master." Yun Zhihan came back to his senses, "I'm just worried that Jin'er will run around alone. After all, she's an unmarried girl."

"It's okay. I'll have the guards follow you. It'll be fine."

"Thank you, sir."

The emperor nodded with a smile on his face.

"Mrs. Xie has been a widow for General Xie for nine years. Adding the mourning period for the old lady, it's probably been eleven years. It must be hard to raise three children alone, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. My three children are doing very well and I don't have to worry about them much, so it's not hard work."

"After all, you are a woman. Once the mourning period is over, if you are willing, I will choose a good match for you."

Yun Zhihan was terrified. She was unwilling to give up her free life, so she quickly refused, "Thank you for your concern, Master, but I have gotten used to my current life and have never thought about getting married again."

She felt a little uneasy. The emperor's sudden concern did not make her feel warm, but instead made her feel a little cold.

"Oh? Is that so?" The emperor felt very disappointed, but he did not give up. After all, he did not point out that this person was herself, so it was normal for her not to want to marry.

If she knew that she was marrying me, she would definitely be very happy. Which woman in this world would not want to be my concubine?
