Chapter 130 The Prince...can't give it
The Empress coaxed Emperor Yuan for more than an hour like coaxing a child, and Emperor Yuan finally became happy again.
After the couple stayed together for a while, they talked about the eldest princess's marriage.
The Empress leaned against Emperor Yuan's chest and said, "Your precious daughter said that she would only consider marrying after meeting the Left Prime Minister's youngest son."
"Are you considering marrying her?" Emperor Yuan said, as if he had heard some arrogant words. "It's not certain whether she's willing to marry me or not!"
The Empress hit Emperor Yuan's chest and said angrily, "How dare you talk about your own daughter like that?"
"Our daughter is naturally wonderful, but that old man Wen Zhiyuan always chooses daughters-in-law who are quiet, virtuous, and well-behaved ladies. I'm afraid he doesn't like a naughty girl like our daughter."
The Queen curled her lips and said, "You like Lord Zuo Xiang, but you refuse to admit it."
"Your Majesty, if you don't like her, why do you still want to become her in-laws?"
Emperor Yuan said as a matter of course: "Although that old man Wen Zhiyuan is very annoying, the Wen family has a good family tradition. None of his sons have taken concubines or mistresses.
If Qing marries him, she won't have to deal with other people's intrigues. Besides, Wen Jinnian is very knowledgeable, a good painter, and a handsome man."
"Your Majesty, have you met him? I remember that he was studying abroad, wasn't he?" The Queen sat up straight.
"I came back a few days ago, and I asked Xie Xu to find out for me."
The Empress looked at Emperor Yuan intently for a while. She didn't expect that he had considered so much, and it was not just because she admired the Left Prime Minister that she wanted to marry her daughter to him.
She smiled slightly, "Then how does Your Majesty plan to facilitate this marriage? My daughter said that she wants to meet the man first."
"Then let's meet." Emperor Yuan thought for a moment, "A few days ago, a general proposed an autumn hunt, but I didn't agree because I was considering the upcoming imperial examination.
But now, we can take advantage of the autumn hunt to let the two children meet, and it's also a good opportunity for Hao'er (the third prince) and the others to meet some girls."
"As long as your Majesty has an idea."
At this time, Emperor Yuan thought of the prince and Jiang Yueyang again.
He sighed and said, "Today I finally realized that Jiang Yueyang, that damn girl, obviously doesn't like the prince."
The Queen was no longer surprised by this.
Previously, she still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that the prince was outstanding and if Jiang Yueyang could fall in love with him.
Perhaps, Jiang Yueyang would be willing to become the Crown Princess because of love.
But after these days of understanding, she knew clearly that although Jiang Yueyang looked at the appearance, she was actually very rational.
Jiang Yueyang doesn't like being bound and won't be willing to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life. If Ye'er wasn't the crown prince, there might still be a chance.
The Empress said, "Your Majesty, I have discussed this privately with Madam Jiang. Jiang Yueyang desires a relationship of mutual affection, unwavering loyalty, and a lifelong partnership. The Crown Prince...can't give that to you."
Emperor Yuan did not raise any questions about what the Empress said. He felt that was something Jiang Yueyang would think.
However, if the prince cannot give it, someone else may be able to.
Emperor Yuan looked at the Empress and said tentatively, "The Crown Prince doesn't meet her requirements, then Hao'er..."
"That's even more impossible. Jiang Yueyang doesn't like Hao'er."
The third prince Yuan Hao is two years older than Jiang Yueyang and is also the legitimate son of Emperor Yuan.
The Queen continued, "Your Majesty, we mainly want Jiang Yueyang to be able to assist the Crown Prince in the future. We don't necessarily want her to marry into the family. As long as she can remain loyal to Daxia, that's enough."
"But she treats Lu Yunting..."
"Your Majesty, do you really think that the child of the Lu family will rebel?" The Queen interrupted Emperor Yuan.
Emperor Yuan did not answer.
"Don't worry, Jiang Yueyang. She can't hide her inner thoughts. Besides, she has no ambition at all."

Wenyuan Pavilion.
Jiang Yueyang sat in his office, thinking about how to start writing.
His Majesty asked her to compile a planting manual. Should she start with selecting the site or with growing seedlings?
She hesitated for a while, and finally bought a book on growing potatoes and sweet potatoes from the system mall.
Then she went out and called Pei Yan in.
Pei Yan asked respectfully, "Master Xiao Jiang, do you have anything you want me to do?"
Jiang Yueyang responded, "His Majesty asked me to compile a planting manual, but I can't write right now, so I'd like you to write it for me. I'll read it and you write it. Is that okay?"
Pei Yan agreed without even thinking about it.
His Majesty has asked them to help Lord Xiao Jiang complete his editing duties. It's just ghostwriting, nothing wrong with that.
"Then I would like to thank Master Pei in advance."
"Master Xiao Jiang, you are too polite."
Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything more. She stood up and gave the desk to Pei Yan, and sat at another table.
After a while, "Master Xiao Jiang, I am ready. You may read it now."
Jiang Yueyang cleared his throat and read from the planting manual: "Potatoes are a very adaptable crop. They prefer a cool climate and cannot tolerate high temperatures. Therefore, when planting, you should choose land with deep, fertile, loose soil and good drainage..."
About an hour later, the article on how to grow potatoes was finished.
From the initial site selection and disease and pest prevention to reasonable irrigation and various uses, everything is written out in detail.
Jiang Yueyang poured a glass of water for herself and Pei Yan to moisten their throats. "Master Pei, you must be tired too. Let's write the rest tomorrow."
"Master Xiao Jiang, I am not tired. I will finish writing as soon as possible and start sowing seeds as soon as possible to benefit the people."
Seeing that he had such a great ambition, Jiang Yueyang nodded and said, "Okay, then continue writing.
Sweet potatoes are a relatively drought-tolerant crop, and their soil requirements are not high, but sandy loam or loam is best. Before planting, the land needs to be prepared, the soil needs to be loosened, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied..."
Another hour later, the planting manual for potatoes and sweet potatoes was completed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Pei." Jiang Yueyang said with a smile.
"This is what a lower official should do."
Jiang Yueyang rummaged through her sleeves and pulled out a silver hairpin, handing it to him. "Master Pei, this hairpin is for your wife as a token of my gratitude for your help today. I hope you don't mind."
Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
It's not the kind of reaction where you feel the item is too valuable and want to refuse it, but you can't quite put your finger on it.
Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [Little melon, why does he have this expression?]
Because you mentioned his wife.
[No... can't I mention it? ]
The system didn't say whether it was possible or not, only saying: [Master Pei has been married for over ten years, but he and Madam Pei have yet to consummate their marriage.]
