Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 56 Hidden secrets
"Has there been a message from the eldest princess?"

"Grandma has already sent a message to me, asking me to study palace etiquette at home and prepare for my marriage with peace of mind."

The marriage between Pingyu and the prince is finalized and cannot be changed.

"Pingyu, although the palace is not a good place, as long as you keep your heart and not be disturbed by other things, you will be able to fulfill your position as the crown princess with peace of mind. But you have no intention of harming others. But you can't help but be on guard against others, the palace is very dangerous, you must take good care of yourself..."

Tang Bingxuan analyzed her situation carefully with Ping Yu, hoping that Ping Yu would be able to help her after entering the palace in the future.

The two of them stayed in the inner room and talked for a long time. Pingyu had slowly accepted the knowledge that she would be the crown princess. Compared with the calm Pingyu that Tang Bingxuan had just seen in the yard, she had regained a lot of vitality. .

When Tang Bingxuan left the Huai'an Marquis Mansion, Pingyu's mother, Mrs. Guo, held Tang Bingxuan's hand and thanked her for caring about Pingyu at this time.

"Aunt, if Xuan'er says something outrageous, Pingyu will take over the East Palace. You'd better ask the eldest princess to arrange some capable nuns around Pingyu." Tang Bingxuan truly thought about Pingyu.

Mrs. Ping Er's wife, Mrs. Guo, patted Tang Bingxuan's hand and said, "Xuan'er is interested. Auntie knows."

Tang Bingxuan was still in a very low mood on the carriage back to Duke Rong's mansion.

I originally thought that Pingyu could marry in Kyoto, and it would be convenient for the two to meet in the future; but I didn't expect that Pingyu would marry in Kyoto, but she would marry into the East Palace. It will definitely not be as convenient for the two of them to meet in the back house of the noble family in the future.

I wonder if Pingyu will regret accompanying her mother Guo back to Kyoto to get engaged at this time. If she had got engaged in Huzhou, there would not be today's imperial decree conferring marriage.

Seeing that her young lady was unhappy, Zhichun couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, don't worry too much about Miss Pingyu. Miss Pingyu is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, and she is also the cousin of His Royal Highness, the Emperor and the Queen. Your Majesty must be too late to hurt her."

"I know." Tang Bingxuan smiled bitterly.

Suddenly the carriage that was moving forward suddenly stopped. Zhichun was about to ask the coachman what happened? The coachman driving outside said: "Miss, are you okay? Someone stood in front of our carriage to block the carriage. I was afraid of hurting someone, so I stopped quickly."

"Miss Tang, my master wants to see you. Please follow me." A guard in green clothes stood outside the carriage with fists clasped and said respectfully but not refusing.

The master wanted to see Miss Tang, so the guards in green could only stop the carriage to deliver the news, but they were afraid of being too hasty and might hurt Miss Tang, so they stood on the street and waved to stop Tang Bingxuan's carriage before it was far away.

It was already getting late at this time. If I didn't go back, I might delay dinner and my family would be worried.

Tang Bingxuan was in a bad mood and didn't want to go, "Tell your master for me that it's getting late today, so we'll see you another day."

Tang Bingxuan thought it was Jiang Shunian who wanted to see her. After all, apart from her family, she was also familiar with Jiang Shunian. She was so upset that she didn't expect that she didn't know this green-clothed guard.

The green-clothed guard did not expect that Miss Tang would refuse. She was afraid that if Tang Bingxuan left directly, she would not be able to explain to her master, so she pointed it out directly: "Miss Tang, what my master said is related to Miss Pingyu."

"Ping Yu?"

Jiang Shunian and Heping Yu met during horse racing in the countryside a few days ago, and they didn't have much interaction. Could it be related to today's marriage decree?
I am worried about Pingyu today. Since Jiang Shunian can solve my doubts, let's meet her. "Then you lead the way."

Listening to the tone of their young lady's tone, Zhichun and the coachman thought that the young lady knew about the green-clothed guard, so they didn't say anything and followed the green-clothed guard to an inconspicuous private house.

In the past, when Jiang Shunian saw him outside, he would usually choose a private room in a teahouse or restaurant. How could he see him in the house today?

Is this royal wedding unusual?
The guards in Tsing Yi led Tang Bingxuan and the others into the house. At this time, the lights were turned on in the house, and the lanterns hanging in the yard were also lit. The guards in Tsing Yi invited Tang Bingxuan to enter the hall, and stayed in the yard with Zhichun and the coachman.

The more Tang Bingxuan thought about it after seeing this house, the more she felt that Jiang Shunian was too mysterious today. Could it be that he had deceived all of us by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

Before I even walked in, he already wanted to tell me his hidden identity and had great trust in him. I should also give him the same trust to live up to Jiang Shunian's wishes.
Tang Bingxuan thought a lot, but her face was very calm. Because she knew that the other party was someone she trusted, she would not be afraid in this strange house.

When Tang Bingxuan entered the hall and looked at the busy man sitting in front of the desk, the pupils in her eyes suddenly shrank, and she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

It was actually the Crown Prince who came to see me. I thought it was Jiang Shunian.
The eighteen-year-old Crown Prince Ling Qian is tall and tall. He is wearing a dark satin robe, with a silver hollow hibiscus flower trim exposed inside the robe. He wears a jade belt around his waist. He is sitting upright in front of the desk. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked up from his busy work and saw Tang Bingxuan arrived and said with a warm smile: "Sit down and wait for a while."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Not long after, His Royal Highness finally got out of his busy schedule, stood up, walked to sit opposite Tang Bingxuan, and Tang Bingxuan quickly got up to greet him again.

The prince motioned Tang Bingxuan to sit down and talk, "I am also your brother, so there is no need to be polite."

Tang Bingxuan thanked the prince and asked straight to the point: "Is it because of Ping Yu that His Highness is looking for my daughter today?"

The prince smiled with some affection that Tang Bingxuan could not understand, "It is Gu who begged my father to give Pingyu to Gu as the crown prince."

Although the prince and Pingyu didn't know each other very well, they had met each other. Pingyu left Beijing with her parents two years ago, and the prince didn't try to keep him. Why would he like Pingyu now?

The prince looked at Tang Bingxuan's confused eyes and understood, "Two years ago, when Pingyu was young, she still loved to play. I'm afraid that deciding in advance would make her lose a lot of fun."

The prince said as he glanced at Tang Bingxuan and continued: "Before you got engaged, the queen mother had chosen you as the crown princess. I can only try my best to mention your young age in front of the queen mother and wait to delay the selection of the concubine."

I didn't expect that there was my own business here. Should I be glad that the Yongning Marquis Mansion mentioned the engagement in time, otherwise I would be the one who wanted to enter the palace.

Tang Bingxuan saw that the prince was honest and didn't hesitate, and continued to ask: "Since your highness already has a candidate in mind, why don't you tell the queen the inside story?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly, "The Queen Mother has always hoped that Gu can marry a noble daughter from a military general's family as the Crown Princess, so as to help Gu."

Empress Qin is the emperor's first wife, and the prince is the emperor's eldest son. He was canonized as prince shortly after his birth. At the age of 16, he began to enter the court to listen to politics and handle some court affairs for the emperor.
