Xiang Nuan tightly hold Zhu WuXin’s hand.

“I heard that the Emperor granted a marriage today. He is granting Liu SuSu’s hand of marriage to the Ninth Prince, Ning Lian Xia.”

Zhu WuXin said with a look of confused expression, “People being granted marriage is none of your business, what are you blindly getting excited for ah?”

Xiang Nuan clapped her hands once, replied with a ‘You really don’t understand me’ face, “It’s my business, Ninth Prince is my man, how can he go and marry Liu SuSu?”

At this moment, Lian Xia who was drinking tea suddenly sprayed out the tea in his mouth.

In this MengXiang Restaurant, Zhu WuXin can hear Shopkeeper Li gossiping all day long.
And he was especially enthusiastic about the gossips between the princes.
So, she has some understanding on the dirt about the princes.

“Yeah, I heard that the Ninth Prince don’t have wife and concubines. Since when two of you is a thing? You should have notify me in advance so I can celebrate with you.”

Having WuXin said that, Xiang Nuan’s turned red with shyness, “I liked him for years.”

Wakao, “You mean this is a crush?”

Xiang Nuan shyly nodded her head, completely fulfilled the criteria of a girl in love.

Zhu WuXin patted Xiang Nuan with a resentful expression, “Aiya, haven’t you heard that, those who strike first win, while those who strike last suffer?”

“You are now the suffering one for striking last. Liking him for years, you should have done something about it.”

“See, now your sweetheart has become someone else’s.”

Hearing what Zhu WuXin said, Xiang Nuan suddenly became tensed and gripped her hands again.

“WuXin, you have to help me think of a way. I don’t want them to get married.”

The Emperor has already granted the marriage, nothing can be done even if you don’t want.
But seeing Xiang Nuan’s frowning face, Zhu WuXin sighed. She would have to help her think of a way.

“Your father is one of the ministers, right? Ask him to smear the Prime Minister’s name a bit, saying her daughter is not decent and not suitable to be royal daughter-in-law.”

“My father don’t know I liked him.”

If he don’t know, then you can tell him ah. Zhu WuXin helplessly looked at Xiang Nuan, ancient people’s concept of love is so troublesome.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I asked you because I am at my wit’s end. If I have any idea, I wouldn’t be so worried right now ah.”

“Actually you can choose to be like Liu SuSu and get married to him too.”

The ancient people were fine with the concept of ‘three wives and four concubines’ 1 anyway.

“No, Liu SuSu has higher position if she gets married now. I will be crushed by her. Fortunately my father is also a minister, I also have to get some glory for my ancestors ah.”

Zhu WuXin thought for a while.
Forget it, she still do not advocate the point of sharing a man with other woman.
She needed to find other ways, breaking the Ninth Prince’s marriage was more useful.
