Chapter 62 That's Good

  Long Han heard Jun Mu's words, and for the first time, he looked directly at Jun Mu, but only gave him a light glance. After a glance, he asked Gu Huai Li beside him: "Is the Gu family allied with the Jun family by marriage?"

  Gu Huai Li didn't know what Long Han Yuan meant, but upon hearing his words, he unconsciously looked towards his daughter Qing Jin in front of him. Qing Jin felt Gu Huai Li's gaze and didn't lift her head; she was also wondering why Long Han Yuan would ask such a question?

  Gu Huai Li saw Qing Jin still not raising her head, and turned back to take a look at Long Han Yuan. Thinking of his daughter and nephew's engagement being true, he replied: "Report to the Third Prince, my daughter's marriage was discussed and decided by my mother and wife some time ago, I also agreed to it, but it hasn't been announced yet."

  Long Han heard Gu Huai's response and replied faintly: "Oh..."

  "This time, I came to the capital mainly because of my cousin's marriage. If there are no more questions from the Third Prince, I will take my cousin and leave first. Uncle is going to take the Third Prince to see his grandmother, so nephew and Qingjin won't delay uncle and the Third Prince's important matters." He said, bidding farewell to the Third Prince and Gu Huaiyi.

  Upon hearing his nephew's words, Gu Huai Li nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he thought of the Third Prince beside him and saw that after hearing his nephew's words, the Third Prince didn't nod for half a day.

  Just as he was about to say something, his nephew had already bowed to him and the Third Prince, and left with his daughter, without even caring whether the Third Prince nodded or not.

  Gu Huali couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again, the chill emanating from the Third Prince was enough to freeze people solid. Why were his daughter and nephew unaffected? Or was the chill surrounding the Third Prince just his own delusion, and nothing was actually there? But why did he still not dare to look directly at or approach the Third Prince? Had he grown old?

  Long Han's gaze was fixed in the direction of Gu Qingjin, seeing that Gu Qingjin followed Jun Mu Xi without looking back. Half a moment later, he spoke to Gu Huai Li with no joy or anger: "This is also good, since the Gu and Jun families have already agreed on the engagement, it's better to announce it publicly sooner!"

  Gu Huai Li heard Long Han Yuan's words, feeling a bit bewildered. Could it be that he had misfelt just now? He said, "How could the Third Prince possibly have any relations with my daughter?" The Third Prince might have been thinking of something else just now. Thus, he bowed to Long Han Yuan and replied, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I will definitely make an announcement about the marriage between my younger sister and younger nephew as soon as possible."

  Long Han Yuan fell silent for a moment after hearing Gu Huai Li's words, until the figures of Qing Jin and Jun Mu Xi could no longer be seen in the distance. Long Han Yuan then turned his head back to Gu Huai Li and spoke again: "Then let's go!"

  "Ah?" Half a day passed without Long Han-Yuan speaking, and Gu Huai-Li was taken aback when he suddenly spoke up. Imitating his daughter, he looked straight into Long Han-Yuan's gaze, but when their eyes met, he shivered involuntarily and quickly looked away, responding: "Your humble servant understands, your humble servant will lead the way."

  On the other side, Qing Jin and her cousin Jun Mu Xi walked for a while before Jun Mu Xi seemingly casually asked Qing Jin: "Does my cousin know the Third Prince?"

  Qing Jin heard Jun Mu's words and stopped in her tracks, looking at Jun Mu: "Why are you asking this, Brother?"

  "I was just casually asking, if it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to say anything." Junmu Xi said, shifting his gaze to the distance.

  Qing Jin took a step back, Jun Mu saw her and slowly followed up. Just when Jun Mu thought Qing Jin wouldn't speak, Qing Jin opened her mouth: "Not very familiar, met twice before on the street, but at that time my cousin didn't know he was the Third Prince. The first time I met him was when I went out with the sisters from the mansion, Xiao Qi ran around and accidentally bumped into the then-Third Prince on the street, almost got killed by the Third Prince's personal guard as an assassin; The second time was when Xiao Qi and Li Bo Tian, a young master of the capital, clashed, I went to pick up Xiao Qi, something happened, it was the Third Prince who sent his personal guard to help us out."

  "Is it just these two times?"

  "What does Brother Biao want to say?" Qing Jin asked Jun Mu Xuan.

  "Cousin, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything. I just think that Third Prince is cold and aloof, he's definitely a man who can endure hardships and his thoughts are hard to guess. It's better if you don't have too much contact with him. Also, I'm not sure how you feel about the marriage between our two families. If there's anything... inconvenient for you, something that you're not comfortable telling Aunt, I can go discuss it with her." Jun Mu Xi said seriously to Qing Jin.

  Upon hearing Junmu's words, Qingjin instantly understood the profound meaning behind them. Her heart warmed up and she smiled faintly, saying: "Thank you, Brother-in-law, but Sister-in-law has nothing inconvenient or unwilling about it. You see, Brother-in-law, this marriage was something Sister-in-law personally agreed to. Although Qingjin had never met Brother-in-law before, she heard Mother talk about Uncle's stories. Uncle is such an extraordinary person, so Sister-in-law believes that Brother-in-law won't be bad either..." She turned her head to look Junmu up and down, then continued: "See? Sister-in-law wasn't wrong!"

  "Jun Mu looked at his cousin and said, 'As he was talking, he turned around and sized himself up from head to toe, not dodging or evading Qing Jin's gaze. He didn't expect Qing Jin to say something so playful, and for a moment, he was taken aback. Coming back to his senses, he immediately gave Qing Jin a refined smile, responding in the same tone: 'Cousin means that this body of Brother is still satisfactory to Cousin?'"

  "Satisfied, satisfied, extremely satisfied!" Qingjin said with a smile.

  "That's good."

  "Does that mean Brother Biao is also satisfied with this leather bag for Sister Miao?" Qing Jin asked with a hint of teasing.

  Upon hearing Qingjin's teasing question, Junmu Xie's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual light, and his smile became even more warm and elegant: "My cousin is naturally beautiful, shining like spring flowers, with a lovely temperament. I'm not just satisfied, but I've simply found a treasure!"

  Qing Jin nodded seriously after hearing Jun Mu's words and imitated his tone to say three words: "That's good!"

  After finishing this sentence, the two people looked at each other and smiled, walking together into Jun's courtyard.

  The next day after the third prince Long Han yuan visited Anji Hou Fu, the sixth prince Long Shu yuan also came to visit Anji Hou Fu. This time, it was Qing Jin's third uncle Gu Huaiyi who personally received him and accompanied him from the main gate to Shen's Chaoxia courtyard. After the sixth prince left Shen's Chaoxia courtyard, he still had a good temper and chatted with Qing Jin's third uncle Gu Huaiyi for half a day before taking his leave and leaving.

  The sixth prince left the Anji Marquis's residence. The reason why the sixth prince didn't come with the third prince yesterday had spread throughout the Anji Marquis's residence. It turned out that yesterday, the third prince and the sixth prince were originally going to come together, but when they set off, something happened at the sixth prince's residence, so he could only go and deal with the matters of his own residence first. However, the sixth prince felt deeply apologetic, so this morning, he came early to pay a visit.

  At the same time, there were rumors among the maids that the sixth prince was warm and gentle, kind to people, and much easier to get along with than the cold and icy third prince who came yesterday. One maid said that when she poured tea for the sixth prince, he actually thanked her. A young servant boy said that when he sent the sixth prince off at the door, due to nervousness, he almost fell over, but instead of scolding him, the sixth prince just smiled faintly at him. For a time, half of the people in the Anji Marquis's estate were speaking well of the sixth prince.

  Qing Jin sat on the warm couch, listening to Yuanyang telling her about the gossip in the mansion. When she heard about the sixth prince's event, Qing Jin couldn't help but smile slightly. The sixth prince was still so good at handling people. Thinking back to her previous life, although she was in the backyard of the third king's mansion, she roughly knew that except for the crown prince, this sixth prince was Long Han's biggest rival for the throne. It was just unknown whether the two men's "brotherly" relationship later on was true or false. Was it possible that Gu Qingyao really had such great charm, making two men who should have been at odds with each other put aside their rivalry and turn against each other for her sake?

  She was really curious about it - Long Hanshan and Sixth Prince, who got that position in the end?

  Unfortunately, her curiosity was not resolved. After the two princes visited the Anji Marquis's mansion, the aristocratic families in the capital understood the emperor's intention. The two princes personally came to visit, if it wasn't for the emperor's approval, it would be impossible. So after the third and sixth princes successively visited the Anji Marquis's mansion, the aristocratic families in the capital immediately confirmed that the emperor meant to support the Anji Marquis's mansion.

  The influential families in the capital also sent people to make friends with the Anji Marquis's mansion, and for a time, the reputation of the Anji Marquis's mansion reached its peak. The front gate of the Anji Marquis's mansion was crowded with carriages and horses every day.

  Qingjin's father and third uncle were busy all day, while at the same time, the housekeeper of the Anji Marquis' manor, Qingjin's mother Junshi and third aunt frequently received invitations from various aristocratic families.

  The ladies of the Anji Marquis's household began to truly integrate into the upper-class aristocratic circles of the capital, and Qingjin could no longer be as lazy as before. She followed Junshi and Sushi, as well as her fourth sister Qingyao, to attend several banquets. Wherever they went, they were met with smiling faces from everyone. Moreover, Qingjin and Qingyao, one in red clothes like fire and the other in white clothes like orchids, attracted attention at the banquet. The wives of several families, after seeing Qingjin and Qingyao, began to probe Junshi and San Shu, revealing their intentions to form an alliance with the Anji Marquis's household through marriage. However, upon learning that Qingjin was already engaged, and it was to a member of Junshi's natal family, the Jun family, they all sighed in regret, lamenting how they had missed the opportunity by just one step.

  But although Anji Hou's eldest daughter was a step late, wasn't there still Gu Huaiyi's eldest daughter who saved the emperor? So after seeing Qingjin's hopelessness, everyone shifted their attention to Qingjin's third aunt Su and fourth younger sister Qingyao. Compared to Qingjin's stunning beauty, the madams of the capital's aristocratic families actually preferred Qingyao's elegant appearance...
