In fact, Jia Mu's worries are not unreasonable. If people knew that the emperor summoned Jia Baoyu but he was unwilling to go, and he was finally tied up and sent to the palace, who knows how much trouble that would cause.

The boy was a careful and meticulous person, and he was reliable in his work on weekdays. Upon hearing what she said, he just told her not to worry.

After Jia Baoyu left, Grandmother Jia sighed helplessly. Chengyu was younger than Baoyu, but now she is old enough to stand on her own, while Baoyu is still like a child and is not sensible at all.

But she also knew that a character like Jia Baoyu's could not be changed in a short time. She could only hope that he would experience more in the future and learn to make progress.

Jia Baoyu had no idea how upset Grandmother Jia was. He was tied up and stuffed into a carriage. He was already resentful of Grandmother Jia and didn't know why the old ancestor who had always loved him forced him like this.

But the person who knew Jia Baoyu best was his mother. When they arrived at the palace gate and the ropes on him were loosened, he was not as excited as he was at home. He was as obedient as a different person and followed the eunuch who led the way through twists and turns to the destination.

He does have some of the bearing of a young master from a wealthy family.

As described in the original novel, Jia Baoyu was extremely handsome, so Shen Li couldn't take her eyes off him the moment she saw him.

Prince Beijing was also good-looking, but he always had an unpleasant expression on his face towards her, and could never compare to Jia Baoyu's gentleness and consideration.

Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng are more handsome than Jia Baoyu and Prince Beijing, but neither of them is within her reach. As a second choice, Shen Li puts her mind on Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu likes girls the most. Although Shen Li has a high status, she is very gentle to him. For a moment, he forgets Shen Li's status and just treats her as an ordinary girl.

The two were having a passionate time. Without Chen Li's nagging in her ears, Lin Daiyu immediately felt more comfortable and exchanged a look with Lin Chengyu that showed they both understood each other.

Jia Baoyu felt that Shen Li was more like Tanchun, but more unrestrained and free-spirited than Tanchun. He couldn't help but be fascinated by her and kept calling her sister.

Shen Li was very satisfied with him, and thought to himself that if possible, he would take the person back with him when he left.

Jia Yuanchun looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction. She knew that with Baoyu's eloquence, it would be easy to coax a little girl.

She looked at Lin Chengyu provocatively. So what if he was on good terms with Prince Linhuai? As long as Baoyu got along well with the Crown Prince of Qianxiang Kingdom, once the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom died and the Crown Prince ascended the throne, even the Emperor would look up to Baoyu, and he wouldn't have to worry about his future.

Lin Chengyu: “…”

He just felt speechless. Jia Yuanchun was really out of her mind now. Couldn't she understand the look in Shen Li's eyes when he looked at Jia Baoyu?

Jia Yuanchun wanted them to become close friends, but Shen Li just wanted to take Jia Baoyu back with her.

Lin Chengyu just felt bored.

When Shen Li was in Qianxiang Country, there were already several men in the mansion, so her method of teasing people was naturally very skillful. But after a while, Jia Baoyu's fair face was stained with red, and he didn't know where to look.

Jia Yuanchun was an experienced person and could have seen it, but she was so determined to compete with Lin Chengyu that she actually thought the two were just joking.

Shen Li met Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu today, and he felt extremely satisfied. He just wanted to take Jia Baoyu away quickly.

It is easier to say nice things when there are no outsiders interfering.

When everyone was about to leave, Shen Li suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request, I hope Your Majesty will agree to it."

For some reason, Jia Yuanchun felt a little uneasy.

The emperor had some guesses in his mind. He glanced at the ignorant Jia Baoyu casually. Seeing that he looked like he had nothing to do with the matter, he couldn't help but laugh, "You can go ahead and say it."

Shen Li looked at Jia Baoyu beside him with deep affection, and said sincerely, "Baoyu and I hit it off right away. I intend to marry him. I hope the emperor will agree."

"No!" Jia Yuanchun was horrified and stood up suddenly. She could no longer hold her dignity as a concubine. She looked at the emperor in panic and begged, "Your Majesty, my elder brother passed away long ago. Now my parents only have Baoyu as their son. If we marry him... to Qianxiang Country, my parents will not be able to survive. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

The emperor originally thought that Shen Li's proposal was good, but after Jia Yuanchun's reminder, he realized that it was somewhat inappropriate. Although Jia Zheng was mediocre in ability, he had been loyal to the emperor and the country for many years. He couldn't marry off someone else's only son.

Upon hearing this, Shen Li did not wait for the emperor to refuse and hurriedly said, "But I just heard Baoyu say that he is the second son of the second house and cannot inherit Rongguo Mansion. Even if he stays in Beijing, he will not have any great prospects. It is better for him to return to Qianxiang Kingdom with me. His status will be more noble than now."

Jia Yuanchun's face turned pale. Seeing Jia Baoyu standing there in shock, she dared not say a word and felt hopeless.

What a loser.

Jia Yuanchun became even more furious and even wanted to give up and marry this good-for-nothing man off.

If it is a marriage of peace, the emperor will definitely give her a status, which is more honorable than donating her a small and idle official position in the future.

This thought flashed through her mind. How could Jia Yuanchun be willing to let her own brother go so far away?

At this moment, Jia Yuanchun was very regretful.

But it was too late to regret now. The most important thing now was to dissuade Shen Li from taking Jia Baoyu back.

Jia Yuanchun was flustered and forced herself to smile, saying, "Your Highness is kind and the Jia family appreciates your kindness, but my brother already has a child at home, so I'm afraid he can't go back to Qianxiang Kingdom with Your Highness. Your Highness should choose someone else."

She thought viciously in her heart that it would be best to take Lin Chengyu away, and then see how the Lin family would continue to show off their power.

"It's nothing." Shen Li looked very generous and said, "Although Baoyu has a child and is no longer a pure man, I will not despise him. The imperial concubine does not need to worry."

Jia Yuanchun wanted to grab her clothes and ask her how she could tell that she was worried about this.

What an unreasonable person.

Jia Yuanchun could hardly hold back her smile. "But if Baoyu goes to Qianxiang Country, he will be separated from his child. Your Highness is kind-hearted and I'm sure he won't bear to see them separated."

This is a problem. Shen Li spoke for a while, and Jia Yuanchun was relieved. She heard her say: "How about this, Baoyu takes the child to Qianxiang Country together, isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Lin Chengyu almost couldn't hold back her laughter, this guy is truly a talented person.

Jia Yuanchun was so angry that her chest felt stuffy. What kind of bastard is the crown prince? He can't even understand what people say. How can he be the crown prince? He should just abdicate and let others take over.
