Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 419: Tips to Shen Jie
"Master, I know your painstaking efforts. I can guarantee that my daughter Hui'er will never disturb your family again. Do you think this marriage is possible?" Jiang Boyou said.

"Minister Jiang, if you had told me earlier, why would it have come to this? Now that the imperial decree has been issued, there is no room for maneuver."

"So you should let your daughter get ready so that she can have a grand wedding." After Xue Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left. Naturally, Jiang Boyu stood up to see him off.

After seeing Xue Yuan off, Jiang Boyou returned to the flower hall, where Madam Jiang and Jiang Xuehui were already waiting for him.

"Master, Master, what's going on? What's going on? Did Duke Dingguo agree?" Madam Jiang asked

"Madam, do you think he will agree to my request now? Now that the imperial decree has been issued, I can only wait for my marriage with peace of mind." Jiang Boyou said

"Well, sir, it's Chang Xun from the Chang family. He has mediocre talent, really?" Mrs. Jiang was a little dissatisfied when she heard this.

"Of course I know, but what can I do now? I don't want to, but now it's the imperial decree, we have to obey, what can I do?"

"Hui'er, tell me honestly, what conditions did you propose to the Xue family?" Jiang Boyou asked
"Father, I, I, please don't ask, I will just get married." Jiang Xuehui said

"You, never mind, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Xuehui, I have watched you grow up since you were a child, and I know your personality very well."

"You and Chang Xun are simply not suitable for each other. You can't handle the old lady in their family. Go back and I will think of a solution." Jiang Boyou shook his head and went out.

"Hui'er, why don't you tell your father? Tell mother what's going on. Wasn't everything fine before? Why did it suddenly?" Mrs. Jiang said

"Mother, please don't ask me anymore. I'm getting married. I'm tired and I'll go back to my room first." Jiang Xuehui didn't want to say anything after hearing this, so she could only evade the question.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang wanted to be angry, but when she thought about the current situation, she could only sigh helplessly and let her daughter leave.

Less than half an hour after the decree of marriage was issued, everyone in the capital knew everything, both what should and shouldn't be known.

"Sir, what are you talking about? Are you saying that my sister is going to get married? Or is it the Queen Mother who arranged the marriage? This is impossible. How is this possible?" Jiang Xue Ning said in disbelief.
"Ning Er, do you think I would lie to you about this? The Queen Mother has already issued an imperial decree. The candidate is the eldest son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was chosen by the Xue family." Xie Wei said
"What? Selected by the Xue family? Sir, I want to ask for leave. I need to go home." Jiang Xue Ning couldn't sit still when she heard this. She said

"You shouldn't have come to tell me about this. You should have gone to find the princess." Xie Wei said
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right. I will go right away. Thank you for telling me. Xue Ning will take her leave now." After Jiang Xue Ning finished speaking, she bowed quickly and walked out.

Looking at Ning Er's departing back, Xie Wei's expression became a little solemn, because this marriage was not a good thing for him.

After all, once the marriage between the two families is successful, even if Jiang Boyou wants to remain neutral, His Majesty will no longer trust him. At that time, not only the Jiang family, but also the Ministry of Revenue will be lost.

At this time, Jiang Xuening had already arrived at the princess's bedroom and told her everything.

"Ningning, I will allow you to go home, but don't be impulsive, understand? After all, that is the imperial decree from my mother. If she gets angry, I can't protect you." Shen Zhiyi said

"Princess, please rest assured. I will definitely pay attention to it." Jiang Xuening said hurriedly after hearing this.

Shen Zhiyi nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, go back quickly."

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening didn't hesitate and just stood up and walked out. Looking at Jiang Xuening's hurried back, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

It’s still good for me. Not only do I enjoy wealth and glory, but I can also marry a man and always have my husband in my heart. This is really lucky.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening had no idea what the princess was thinking. She was busy going home. Because she was in a hurry along the way, she arrived very quickly.

"Ning'er, why are you back?" Jiang Boyou asked in surprise.

"Father, such a big thing happened at home, how can I not come back?" Jiang Xuening said

"Ning'er, you don't have to worry. Although it's an arranged marriage, your sister's marriage is still a good one, so you don't have to worry." Jiang Boyou said with a smile

"How can I not worry, father? Do you know that if this marriage goes through, our family will become a member of the Xue family's faction?"

"Dad, you have been able to stay in this position so safely for so many years, isn't it because you never make a choice? If this marriage is successful, do you think you will still be able to do it safely?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Ning'er, who told you all this? How did you know this?" Jiang Boyou asked

"Father, I have been in the palace for such a long time. I can see some things even if I just look at them. Father, we cannot accept this marriage. If we accept it, our family will be ruined." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Xue Ning, since you have figured it out, I will not hide it from you. I know what you said, but now the imperial decree has been issued, and there is no possibility of regret." Jiang Boyou said

"No, father, there is a chance. There is still a chance. It is true that we cannot disobey the order, but it does not say that the Queen Mother's order cannot be changed?" Jiang Xuening said

"Hmm? Xue Ning, what are you doing? I'm telling you, you are not allowed to do anything rash, do you hear me?" Jiang Boyou was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly warned

"I understand, father. I won't do anything rash. Anyway, father, tell mother to tell the Chang family to delay the time as much as possible and not to settle it too early." Jiang Xue Ning said

After she finished speaking, she left immediately. Jiang Boyu looked at her hurriedly leaving back, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, then went back to his room to find his wife.

"Master, what did you say? You want me to delay? That's an imperial decree, how can I delay it? No, Master, could it be that Xue Ning said something to you?" Madam Jiang said

"Okay, Madam, of course I know that's the imperial decree. I just asked you not to get married so quickly, but I didn't ask you to get angry. What's so difficult about that?" "Madam, this marriage is not a good thing. Ning'er is no longer the Ning'er she used to be. I want to give it a try. What if it succeeds?" Jiang Boyou said seriously.

Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything after hearing this, but it was not difficult to tell from her expression that she didn't take it to heart and just didn't want to quarrel with her husband.

Obviously, Jiang Boyou could see this, but he didn't care. After all, one had to wait for the results to come out before one could determine whether he was good or not.

At this time, Jiang Xuening had already arrived at the Yan family. Yan Lin seemed very happy to see her.

"Ningning, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have prepared a gift for you." Yan Lin said
"Yan Lin, I came here this time because I need to trouble you with something." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Ningning, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be polite to me." Yan Lin said with a smile

"Yan Lin, I won't be polite with you. I want to meet King Linzi. Can you invite him over? But don't tell him I'm here." Jiang Xue Ning said directly.

"Okay, of course no problem. Ningning, have some tea first. I'll send someone to find Shen Jie. He'll be here soon." Yan Lin didn't ask why, but agreed directly.

And the actual situation was exactly as Yan Lin said. After Shen Jie learned that Yan Lin was looking for him, he did not hesitate at all and went straight out of the house.

"Yan Lin, you are free to come to me today. I don't miss your Ning Ning. Uh, Miss Jiang, I am so rude. I am so rude." Shen Jie said awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, what are you talking about? Sit down quickly. Ningning, I've found someone for you. Just tell me what you want to say." Yan Lin said directly
After hearing this, Jiang Xuening nodded directly, then took out a handkerchief and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if you still recognize this handkerchief?"

In fact, Shen Jie was already a little excited when Jiang Xuening took out the handkerchief, and after hearing Jiang Xuening's questions, he naturally nodded repeatedly.

But after the excitement, he became a little worried. After all, this handkerchief belonged to the second girl. What should he do then? Should he snatch it from Yan Lin?

"Your Highness, first of all, I have to tell you that this handkerchief is specially prepared by our family for the female members, so it is not unique. And mine is my own."

"As for the piece in your hand, it belongs to my sister." Jiang Xuening said directly

"What? It's not yours, Second Miss? It's yours, your sister's? Wait, isn't your sister the one that the Queen Mother specially arranged for marriage?" Shen Jie stood up and asked in surprise.

"That's right, Your Highness. My sister is the woman Jiang Xuehui who was granted marriage by the Queen Mother. I specifically asked Yan Lin to come to you today because I want you to know her identity."

"Your Highness, I have a question now. I hope you can answer me truthfully. Do you still have a place for my sister in your heart?" Jiang Xuening asked directly.

"Of course there is, but I don't know what your sister thinks in her heart. Is she willing or not?" Shen Jie hesitated.
"Of course she doesn't want to, but this is an imperial decree to grant the marriage, and she cannot disobey it. But Your Highness can. Only with your status, can you make the Queen Mother change her mind." Jiang Xue Ning said

After hearing this, Shen Jie hesitated for a moment. After all, he knew his mother, and if he went, he was afraid that the result would be counterproductive.

But in the end, he said with a firm face, "Okay, I know what to do. Please go back and tell her to wait for me. I will never let her down!"

After Shen Jie finished speaking, he stood up and left. After he left, Yan Lin said, "Ningning, I remember that your relationship with your sister was not good, right? Why are you like this today?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because this person was chosen by the Xue family." Jiang Xue Ning said

After hearing this, Yan Lin seemed to have thought of something and started laughing, and very loudly.

"Yan Lin, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird? Why are you laughing?" Jiang Xue Ning asked

"Nothing, Ningning. I was just wondering what Shen Jie would do. From what I know, he will definitely fail in the end."

"His reputation in front of the Queen Mother is not as good as that of the Princess." Yan Lin found an excuse.

"Yes, how could I forget this? No, Yan Lin, I have to go back to the palace to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'll leave first." Jiang Xue Ning said and stood up to leave.

"Wait, Ningning, wait a minute, you can't go to see the princess." Yan Lin suddenly stopped her.
"Hmm? Yan Lin, what do you mean? Why can't I go see the princess?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Ningning, you haven't forgotten, have you? The princess's consort is the eldest son of the Xue family. Do you think Cao Cheng doesn't know about this marriage?"

"The princess will eventually marry someone else. If you go find her now, won't you put her in a dilemma? If she shows up, how will she face the Xue family in the future?" Yan Lin said
After hearing what Yan Lin said, Jiang Xue Ning also stopped. Yes, if she went, the princess would help her, but what about the princess herself? How would she live in the future?
The princess is so good to me, I can't be too selfish. But if I don't go to find the princess, with Shen Jie's temper, there is no way he can convince the empress dowager.

For a moment she stood there motionless, not knowing what to do. At this time Yan Lin spoke up, "Ningning, you usually pay so much attention, why are you so stupid now?"

"Hmm? Yan Lin, do you have a solution? Tell me quickly." Jiang Xue Ning asked

"Ningning, although Prince Linzi is not very good in front of the Queen Mother, he is still a prince after all." Yan Lin reminded
After hearing this, Jiang Xue Ning suddenly realized, yes, Shen Jie is a prince, and he is also the next emperor that the Xue family intends to nominate. This identity can be used to a lot of things.

"Yan Lin, what you said is really great. Why didn't I realize you are so smart before?" Jiang Xue Ning said happily.
After hearing this, Yan Lin was immediately unhappy. What did he mean by discovering that he was so smart? Was he stupid in the past?
After hearing this, Jiang Xue Ning immediately realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she quickly said, "Good Yan Lin, you were also very smart before, but now you are even smarter."

Yan Lin was speechless for a moment after hearing these obviously perfunctory words, but after all, it was one of the few times that Ning Ning coaxed him, so he had to give her face.

"Hmph, you're quick to react. Okay, Ningning, now that we've finished talking about other people's business, shouldn't we talk about our own business?" Yan Lin said
"Ah? Our own business? What's going on?" Jiang Xue Ning said in a pretentious manner.

"You, of course I'm the one who said I'd marry you during the ceremony of consummation?" Yan Lin said
