Chapter 9
Aunt Xu has always had this simple and elegant appearance, which is different from other aunts in the prime minister's mansion who dress up all day, like a lily standing among peonies, peony, crabapple and other gorgeous flowers, fresh and noble.

Jiang Wenyue walked over and called out, "Aniang."

"Second Miss is here."

Aunt Xu coughed lightly: "Second Miss, follow the rules and call me Auntie."

"Aniang, this is in your yard, don't worry about being heard by outsiders, I just want to call you Aniang, is that okay?"

Seeing Jiang Wenyue's pleading tone, Aunt Xu finally softened her heart.

"Is this a snack specially made by Auntie for me?"

Looking at the snacks on the table, Jiang Wenyue recalled her childhood memories.

How stupid she was in her previous life, that she could only focus on currying favor with the eldest lady and ignore her own mother.

Later, within a few years after she became the crown princess, Aunt Xu died of depression due to lingering illness. Because of her status as a crown princess, she didn't even catch up to see Aunt Xu for the last time.

In this life, she must be filial to Aunt Xu. By the way, she must remind Aunt Xu to take good care of her body. This is the most important thing.

Jiang Wenyue only hoped that Aunt Xu could live a long life and stay with her all the time.

"Second Miss, I have come to you this time to discuss something with you."

Although it was a discussion, Aunt Xu already knew the result.

"What's the matter, Ma'am."

Jiang Wenyue looked at the hibiscus pancakes on the table and took a bite.

"Master Xiang came to me and said that he wanted to betroth you to the crown prince. In this way, the second lady has fulfilled her wish."

"What!" Jiang Wenyue was so surprised that the cake in her hand almost fell to the floor, and Prime Minister Jiang actually named her to be the princess?How could this happen? It didn't happen in the previous life.

However, Jiang Wenyue soon realized that it must be Yun Chi's fault.

Didn't Yun Chi also come back from rebirth and threatened to marry her?

Except for Yun Chi, she really couldn't think of any other reason why Prime Minister Jiang would name her to marry him so quickly.

Want her to go the old way again?No way.

Aunt Xu was surprised when she saw that Jiang Wenyue didn't speak, and she didn't have the happy expression she expected. Maybe she was too happy to react.

"If you really want to marry the prince, then the next time you see Master Xiang, I will help you agree."

"No! Auntie."

When Jiang Wenyue heard that Aunt Xu wanted to agree, she came to her senses: "Aniang, don't agree, Yaoyao doesn't want to get married."

This made Aunt Xu very surprised, don't marry?There is no girl who does not marry.

"Didn't you keep talking in front of me that you wanted to marry the prince? Why don't you marry now?"

Jiang Wenyue's tone softened, as if acting coquettishly: "Yaoyao just wants to be with Aunt, Aunt, you should help Yaoyao to say no."

"You really don't want to marry?" Aunt Xu asked again.

"Of course it's true. Yaoyao has already made up her mind. I'm just a concubine, not worthy of being the crown prince, so I just hope to stay with A Niang for a few more years."

In fact, Aunt Xu also thought the same way, she always felt that it was unrealistic for her daughter to marry the prince.

Maybe it's a mother's intuition, the royal family looks glamorous, but there are too many twists and turns in the dark, and Jiang Wenyue doesn't have any backing.

She didn't want her daughter to marry from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that Prime Minister Jiang asked Jiang Wenyue to marry him, which was equivalent to treating Jiang Wenyue as a pawn to cling to the royal family.

She only wants her daughter to live a safe and smooth life, and doesn't want her daughter to be a pawn and get involved in strange disputes.

"Okay, since you don't want to marry the prince, then I will help you refuse."

"Thank you Ma'am."

Jiang Wenyue talked with Aunt Xu for a while, but Aunt Xu's attitude was a little cold, and after a while she said that she was tired and wanted to go in to rest.

Jiang Wenyue had no choice but to go back to her yard.

After returning, Jiang Wenyue kept thinking, if it was true as she had guessed, Yun Chi had already told Prime Minister Jiang that he wanted to be the princess, and Aunt Xu's objection might not be of much use.

It seems that she has to do something else.

Jiang Wenyue wrote a prescription on the chopping board. This prescription would make her look depressed, pale, and her body temperature would be higher than normal from time to time, as if she was sick.

This was a prescription she got by chance after marrying Yunchi in her previous life. At that time, a side concubine in the Eastern Palace borrowed the prescription to pretend to be ill and was favored by her, but she saw through it and dealt with the side concubine.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.

That's right, she wanted to pretend to be sick like Jiang Xiyuan.

Moreover, her methods are more sophisticated than Jiang Xiyuan's and difficult to see through.

After writing, Jiang Wenyue handed the prescription to Ranxiang: "Ranxiang, go to the pharmacy outside and get this medicine for me."

"What is this, miss."

Ranxiang couldn't understand the prescription, so he just asked casually.

"It's nothing, it's just a prescription for beauty and beauty. Don't tell anyone about it. When you go out, go through the back door and try not to let people see you."

Ranxiang was still puzzled, but seeing Jiang Wenyue's appearance, she agreed.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ran Xiang took the prescription and walked out, and quickly grabbed Jiang Wenyue's medicine.

Jiang Wenyue asked Ranxiang to cook for her.

The bitter concoction was steaming in a white porcelain bowl, Jiang Wenyue drank it without hesitation.

This medicine takes effect slowly, about a day or two.

Jiang Wenyue sealed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes were full of determination.

Prime Minister Jiang called Aunt Xu again and asked Aunt Xu how the matter was.

Aunt Xu expressed her firm opposition to letting Jiang Wenyue marry the crown prince Yunchi: "Master Xiang, the second lady is just a concubine, I am afraid that Gao Pan will not be able to become the crown prince, so please consider other ladies, the third lady and the fourth lady are not Is it almost the age to discuss marriage?"

"Why can't you climb to the top? Besides, the prince prefers to ask the moon, and the prince may not be willing to change it to someone else." Jiang Cheng retorted, "Okay, this matter is settled like this."

In fact, when he asked Aunt Xu, it was just a formality. He thought that Aunt Xu would agree wisely, but he didn't expect that Aunt Xu would not be happy to ask Jiang Wenyue to marry the prince.

"Master Xiang, this is really impossible. The second lady said that she doesn't want to marry."

"Don't want to marry? How can there be a girl in this world who doesn't marry and stays in her boudoir for the rest of her life? It's ridiculous! Besides, marriage is a big matter, the words of the matchmaker, and the orders of the parents."

Prime Minister Jiang used the orders of his parents to suppress Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu was different from other women. Instead, she argued with Prime Minister Jiang and told all kinds of bad things about Jiang Wenyue marrying the prince.

Of course, Aunt Xu always considered it from Jiang Wenyue's point of view.

But Prime Minister Jiang considered the interests of the Prime Minister's House. In his opinion, Jiang Wenyue was not engaged yet, and the crown prince said that he wanted Jiang Wenyue to be the crown prince, so there was no reason to refuse.

As for what Aunt Xu said, it was simply a woman's opinion.

Aunt Xu's attitude also successfully angered Prime Minister Jiang, who angrily reprimanded: "A woman's opinion! If Wenyue can marry the prince, it should be her blessing. As his mother, I advise you to think about her. .”
