Xie Yunchu bowed and said, "Mother."

Ou Yurong nodded, "If it's easy to leave the palace, come back to visit home more often in the future."

"Yes."

Xie Jiaojiao asked: "Can big brother come home more often in the future?"

Xie Yunchu smiled and said, of course I can.

Ou Yurong felt relieved when she saw how calm her son was, and she immediately asked him whether he got along well with the emperor.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xie Yunchu started talking about business again.

Ou Yurong spread his hands and said, "Those businesses were previously managed by your father. I am just taking over now. If you are talking about experience, a reliable shopkeeper will be enough."

Xie Yunchu nodded.

He really couldn't think of anything else that could be opened throughout the Cangyun Kingdom except the escort agency.

"Where are you going? It won't be too late to go back after lunch, right?" Ou Yurong asked when he saw Xie Yunchu turning around and leaving.

Xie Yunchu said: "I'll go see Aying."

"Didn't Aying just enter the palace today?" Ou Yurong was a little suspicious.

Xie Yunchu said: "Yes, but I forgot to explain some things."

"Okay, go ahead."

Xie Jiaojiao also wanted to go with him, so Xie Yunchu asked, "Have you finished your homework today?"

Xie Jiaojiao: “…”

"Father sent you to the girls' school, not to let you waste your time. If you don't study hard, you will only be able to wait to get married."

Xie Jiaojiao: “!!!”

"Mother!" She stamped her feet. "Look at what my elder brother said. I don't want to get married!"

It is simply too much to get married at a young age and serve other people's parents.

She wants to pass the imperial examination!

Ou Yurong frowned, "Women have to get married, but if you are an official, then it will be different."

"I'll go right away." After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao left with her maid.

Ou Yurong looked at Xie Jiaojiao's arrogant look and didn't know how well she had learned.

Xie Yunchu went to Xie Ying's yard.

But even though he had arrived there, he hesitated and stood still.

Chujiu opened his mouth and said, "Master, you haven't thought about what to say to the young lady, right?"

Xie Yunchu turned his head to look at Chujiu, and he was right.

"Master, why don't you go back and I will go and say hello to the eldest lady?" Chujiu asked.

"You go?"

Chujiu nodded.

How could Xie Yunchu not know what A Yao and Chu Jiu had instructed?

He wanted to ask, but then he thought, since A Yao didn't want him to get involved, he decided not to ask.

After all, A Yao would never harm A Ying.

He nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Chujiu took a deep breath. He felt that the emperor must have said something to his master, so even if his master had some doubts, he didn't ask anything.

No greeting.

What kind of brother would be so eager to help his sister find a marriage?

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being the one to rush for such a good marriage, the main thing is - the main thing is that the eldest lady has to take the initiative.

This is really difficult.

Chujiu saw that her master had disappeared, so she turned around and met a pair of clear eyes, "M-Ms."

"The ninth day of the ninth lunar month?"

Xie Ying had just listened to Mingzhu's advice and was about to go out to buy some bouquets to arrange the flowers, when he saw Chujiu craning his neck, not knowing who he was looking at.

Chujiu hurriedly greeted and said, "Hello, Miss." Then he smiled awkwardly.

Xie Ying sighed, "Mingzhu, go get someone to prepare the carriage."

"Yes, Miss." Mingzhu took the order and left.

Xie Ying looked at Chujiu, "I know why you came."

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

"I heard that the eldest lady entered the palace today and visited the Imperial Observatory—" He asked cautiously. After all, the eldest lady looked like things were not going so well.

Xie Ying did not deny it. "I went, but I haven't thought it through yet, so I came back."

Chujiu wanted to ask what was going on.

In the end, the eldest lady said that she hadn't thought it through and came back, "Didn't you see His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

"Ah."

"Your Highness Prince Chen doesn't see you?"

Xie Ying looked at Chujiu. Yesterday he seemed like a smart guy who could solve problems, but now he looked like an annoying dog at the door.

Chujiu felt that the eldest lady's eyes were a little unfriendly.

He shut up and got out of the way. This was not an easy job!

Xie Ying passed him and saw that he was still standing there, so he shouted, "Go ahead, we can talk on the way."

Chujiu said "oh" twice and quickly followed.

Outside the Duke's Mansion, Mingzhu and the horse-driving guard were already waiting. After getting on the carriage, Mingzhu stayed outside the carriage with the guard and did not enter the carriage.

After the carriage started.

Xie Ying said: "It's not that His Royal Highness Prince Chen didn't want to see me, but I met Master Ding first."

Old man Ding?

What did Old Man Ding say?

That old man Ding was the one who helped Rong Xun to bring the eldest lady and His Royal Highness Prince Chen together, so he shouldn't stop them, right?

Chujiu looked at Xie Ying: What's going on?

Xie Ying leaned against the wall of the carriage. Chujiu poured tea and handed over snacks earnestly, "Miss, please."

Xie Ying drank the tea and ate some snacks, "You eat too."

He had indeed not eaten breakfast when he came here, and now when he saw the snacks, his stomach was rebelling.

Chujiu thanked him and took some snacks to eat.

Xie Yingcai said: "What Master Ding said makes me a little scared."

"What did he say?"

Xie Ying swallowed the snack and looked at Chujiu, "Don't tell this to big brother."

"I will not say."

"you swear!"

Chujiu swore, "If the eldest lady forbids Chujiu to tell anyone, Chujiu will never tell anyone even if he dies."

Xie Ying didn't believe it. "If you tell others without my permission, then - you will never find your second brother again!"

The ninth day: “!!!”

He, he, he was a eunuch. When he was very young, he was sold into the palace because his family was poor and could not support so many people.

His chicken, like all the eunuchs', was kept in the treasure room. He would only redeem it from the chief eunuch on the day he left office.

Chief Eunuch——

Tang An is the general manager now. After so many years of friendship, can he redeem it in advance?

Chujiu immediately expressed his loyalty, "I swear, if the young lady doesn't allow me to say it, I will never say it!"

Xie Ying also blushed.

She is not such a mean person. It goes without saying that Chujiu's mouth has contributed a lot to the situation developing to this point.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Xie Ying told Chujiu what Old Man Ding had said.

Chujiu was stunned when she heard this, "What if His Royal Highness Prince Chen doesn't like the young lady, then what should the young lady do?"

“So, I hesitated.”

"The young lady is right to hesitate." Even if it is for the master, the young lady's life should not be sacrificed.

What's more, the master and the emperor are doing well now. The worst that can happen is that His Royal Highness the Prince will continue to be his supervisor.

The emperor is still the emperor, and the master is still the mistress of the harem. They have a secret affair every day at noon, but perhaps after a long time, it will not be so novel anymore, and they will return to being a normal couple and live together in Jinrong Palace or Wende Hall.

"But--but Master Ding said that he is my only true love," Xie Ying was a little unconvinced, "Chujiu, is what Master Ding said as accurate as what Rong Jianzheng said?"
