"Let nature take its course..."
Commandery Princess Zhen shook her head slightly, "Love is the one thing that you must never leave to take its course!"
Yun Jinnian was silent.
"Do you know, in the year you’ve been away, there has been a girl who has continuously kept Ayu in her thoughts, and she even resides in Prince Rui Residence now!"
At these words, Yun Jinnian suddenly stood up.
She stared blankly at Commandery Princess Zhen, pressing her lips together without speaking.
Her complexion turned somewhat pale.
Many people yearn for Chu Yu, but there are very few who can move into Prince Rui Residence.
And for Chu Yu to agree to let someone live in Prince Rui Residence, she must have an extraordinary relationship with the Prince.
"That’s why I say, when it comes to the man you like, you must never just let things be. What would you do if someone snatched him away carelessly?"
Yun Jinnian was silent, unsure of how to speak to Commandery Princess Zhen.
"Jinnian!" Commandery Princess Zhen patted the spot beside her, "Come, sit down, let’s continue our conversation!"
Yun Jinnian sat back down beside Commandery Princess Zhen, "Princess..."
"Good child, I know about you and Ayu. I also know that Ayu holds you in his heart. It was only right for Ayu to wait for you when you were younger, but now you’re almost fifteen and of marriageable age. It’s time to start considering your marriage arrangements. What do you think?"
Yun Jinnian thought about it seriously, "I am willing!"
"I’m willing to marry Chu Yu, willing to cooperate with him, and willing to compete and strive for it!"
By the time Prince Yanjun arrived, the two had nearly finished their discussion.
After exchanging greetings, Yun Jinnian took Prince Yanjun’s pulse, "Everything is well with your Highness!"
Prince Yanjun gave a gentle smile.
After recovering for over a year, his health had improved, as well as his complexion.
Being naturally calm and uncompetitive, he spent most days at home reading, playing the zither, practicing calligraphy, or chatting with Commandery Princess Zhen, cultivating his mind and spirit. With such a lifestyle, living past ninety-nine wouldn’t be a problem.
"That’s wonderful, just wonderful!"
Commandery Princess Zhen’s eyes crinkled with a smile.
This was her youngest son, the one she cherished the most. Previously, she had no choice, but now that he was healthy, she found herself wishing for him to take a wife.
There were plenty of good women in the world, many legitimate daughters who would be willing to marry into their family.
After all, her son was handsome and had a good temperament. He had lived a chaste life these years, which would certainly bode well for his future wife.
Commandery Princess Zhen looked at Nanny Song, "What is it?"
"Prince Rui and Princess Mianke have arrived!"
At this news, Commandery Princess Zhen turned to Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian was equally astonished.
They had come together?
"Let them in!" Commandery Princess Zhen said indifferently.
Qu Mianke had been in the Capital City for more than a year, and her visits to Commandery Princess Zhen Residence were infrequent, but of course, there were other reasons, such as her desire to stay in Prince Rui Residence and develop a relationship with Chu Yu.
Nanny Song complied and went out.
Yun Jinnian watched Nanny Song’s retreating figure, fingers pinching her handkerchief.
She was very curious what kind of woman could live in Prince Rui Residence and come out with Chu Yu to the Princess Residence.
Soon, she saw Chu Yu in a black brocaded robe approaching, followed by a woman in pink brocade.
As they drew closer, Yun Jinnian could see her face more clearly.
She had an oval face with willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows and wore fresh, lovely makeup, with elegant and quiet accessories. Her pink brocade dress was this year’s new design from Jinshang Pavilion, worth a fortune and not necessarily available for purchase.
Her cheeks were rosy, and she boldly gazed at Chu Yu, not hiding her fondness and admiration for him.
Princess Mianke, whose daughter was she?
