The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 1082: Now She Knows Where She Stands

Xie Heng pondered, relieved? Ruru is saying that there’s no need to worry about the consort selection!He was indeed worried about the consort selection, which was why he hurriedly sent Mo Zhu to deliver a message.

His original plan was to achieve high marks in the spring exams and then ask his mother to propose to the Jiang Family.

Otherwise, he felt he lacked confidence.

Understanding Ruru’s words, Xie Heng laughed, casually picking up the gold ingot Mrs. Ruan had just sent over and threw it to Mo Zhu, "Well done, it’s your reward."

Mo Zhu happily tucked the gold ingot into his pocket.

Xie Heng, reassured, closed his door and focused on studying.

Ruru also felt reassured, and asked her brother when he returned, "Brother, has my name been registered with the Ministry of Rites?"

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "It has."

Ruru stamped her foot, "Why did you act so quickly!"

Jiang Youzhi looked at her, "Last night we discussed this matter, didn’t you say it was no big deal? You even said you surely wouldn’t be chosen."

He squinted, "But it’s only been a night, why is your attitude different today?"

Ruru felt a bit guilty; yesterday was naturally different from today. Yesterday she thought Xie Heng might not have feelings for her; otherwise, why hadn’t he come to propose yet?

Some girls get betrothed early, even at twelve or thirteen.

She felt a bit resentful and even angrily thought, if he didn’t like her, then she might as well become the Prince Consort.

Now she already knew his feelings matched hers, so she was too lazy even to pretend interest in the Prince Consort selection.

Ruru thought her brother was too perceptive; hopefully, he wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

She huffed, "Nothing, I was just asking," and quickly walked away.

Jiang Youzhi knew his sister must be troubled, and he mentioned it to Yun Jiao that night.

Yun Jiao carefully had someone inquire, and the maid returned and said, "Early this morning, Xiao Lu’s cousin came looking for him, saying his surname was Xie."

Yun Jiao roughly understood Xiao Lu’s background, knowing she had no relatives. Hearing the surname Xie, she had a hunch and waved her hand, "Alright, that’s all."

In her heart, she was secretly pleased; this way, it seemed that Young Master Xie and Ruru had mutual feelings, making things easier.

That night, she quietly told Jiang Youzhi, who simply responded with "Mm," without revealing his thoughts.

Then it was the year-end, and the consort selection had already begun, making Xiang City even livelier.

The shop owners of silk and jewelry stores were grinning from ear to ear, as their business was booming.

Since ascending the throne, the Emperor, not wishing to burden the people, had never conducted a large-scale consort selection. The harem additions had only been former residents from Prince Kang Mansion and a few individuals sent for various reasons. This time, the selection for Prince Consort was for real.

For Xiang City’s citizens, it was their first time experiencing such a significant event, and soon, the streets and alleys were abuzz with discussions about the consort selection.

The well-informed mentioned several likely candidates, and Ruru was among them.

After the New Year, young ladies from all over participating in the Prince Consort selection started arriving in the capital.

Wu Miaomiao, the daughter of Uncle Wu, was fourteen this year, and her family was originally searching for a match for her. With the consort selection, they had to submit her name and send her to the capital.

Wu Miaomiao, waiting for the selection in the capital, naturally stayed at the Duke Mansion.

The Duke Mansion appeared large with five courtyards and two side courtyards, but nowadays it was no longer sufficient.

Families like theirs couldn’t have all parents and children living in one courtyard.

Nowadays, You Er lived in a side courtyard, so Yun Jiao had no choice but to arrange Wu Miaomiao in Ruru’s courtyard.
