Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2583: Atonement for Sins 46.0
"Meeting again? This is really..." Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. They couldn't help but reveal an imperceptible sneer and said, "This is really a coincidence that can't be more coincidental, but have you ever thought that there has never been such a coincidence in the world?"

"Your Majesty is right. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?" Yingbao looked at Xue Ruitian while holding a meat bun, nodded slightly, and said, "That time in the teahouse, we were both with the prince. When we saw that the two private rooms were next to each other, we felt something was wrong, but we had no evidence, so we could only tell ourselves that it might be a coincidence. But a few days later, we ran into each other on the street again. The prince felt very surprised and surprised, but as far as I can see, the young lady from the Zeng family didn't look surprised or happy at all."

"It feels like we're waiting on purpose." Yingshun snorted twice and glanced at Song Yaojia. "We haven't told the prince about our idea. Of course, we haven't told the two princes either. The prince just asked us to protect the prince. As long as the prince is not in danger, we don't need to consider meeting anyone. Besides, Miss Zeng has saved His Majesty and the princes, so we are still very relieved."

"But, we think that this encounter is a coincidence, but if it happens twice, three times, or even more times, it can't be considered a coincidence, right?" Eagle Leopard looked at Shen Cha, "What do you think, young master?"

"What Brother Xiaotian said just now is right. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? All coincidences are arranged." Shen Cha looked at Song Yaojia, "Have you met many times since then?"

Song Yaojia didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"Are you sure she doesn't know who you are?" Shen Cha shook her head gently, "I don't quite believe it."

"We don't really believe it either." Eagle Leopard and Eagle Falcon looked at Shao Bai, who had been silent but nodded silently, "Do you think so too?"

"Hmm!" Shao Bai thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, but I know that the prince has a very good reputation in Beijing. Moreover, prince..." He looked at Song Yaojia, "I heard from the Queen Mother that there are few young ladies from high-ranking families in Beijing who don't know you."

"What does this mean?" Song Yaojia looked at Shaobai in confusion, "Do you all know me?"

"Almost!" Shao Bai nodded and chuckled. "During those years, I followed His Majesty and often went to the Queen Mother's palace with her. I listened to the Queen Mother and several concubines chatting with His Majesty. They said that there was a list circulating among the noble ladies in Xijing City. The list contained people who hoped to become their son-in-law." He looked at Song Yaojia, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ranked third."

"I'm only third?" Song Yaojia looked incredulous. "Come on, tell me who's first and second!"

"There are ten people on this list, and the last one." Shao Bai couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's Your Majesty."

"Oh"

Several people present nodded in understanding. Song Jue was indeed not a suitable candidate for a son-in-law. Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Although it may be a happy event that brings honor to the family for a girl to marry into the palace, it is not such a good thing for the girls and their parents.

"And then?" Song Yaojia was quite interested in the list. "Who is the second to last?"

"Who else?" Bai Meng pointed at himself, "Me!" "No, Commander-in-Chief, it's not you." Shao Bai coughed lightly and looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng, "You four and the two young princes are not on this list."

"We don't." Xue Ruitian was a little surprised, "No, Xiaocha must not be here, she is a girl!"

"My Lord, you may not know that there is not only a list of sons-in-law in the capital, but also a list of daughters-in-law." Shao Bai opened his arms towards them, "You are all not here."

"It's understandable for us who are not in the capital. After all, those people in the capital definitely don't want their children to come to the border. They think it's hardship. But..." Xue Ruitian looked at Bai Meng, "Why is Xiao Baizi worried? Our Xiao Baizi is handsome and a confidant of His Majesty. What are they worried about?"

"I know." Shen Cha raised her hand. "Because Sister Jinyu, although they are not clearly and officially together now, people in the capital should all agree that they will be together sooner or later, so the commander-in-chief will not be the candidate for son-in-law."

Song Yaojia nodded silently, looked at Bai Meng, sighed softly, and said, "You two."

"We need to take it one step at a time. Your Highness has just experienced some bad things, so we need to take it slow." Bai Meng smiled faintly and said, "We are not in a hurry. When your Highness resolves this problem, it will not be too late to talk about the next step." He took a sip of tea and looked at Song Yaojia, "We have talked about this before, so you don't have to worry."

"I understand." Song Yaojia touched his nose, turned to look at Shao Bai, and said, "We won't listen to anything else. Who are the first and second place?"

"Yes." Shao Bai looked at everyone, sighed, and said, "Brother Changsun."

"Brother Changsun?" Several people looked at each other and said, "Are they the twins of Minister of Revenue Changsun Hong?"

"Yes!" Shao Bai nodded, "It's them. Whether in terms of family background or appearance, they are the best candidates."

"If I remember correctly, they just entered the Imperial College, right?" Song Yaojia was a little unconvinced, "I actually lost to them two, how infuriating!"

"Although the brothers are young, you know that Chang Sun Hong is not only the Minister of Revenue, he also has a noble title. If you tell others, he is also a lady of an earl, which is acceptable. No matter which of the two brothers gets the title, it will be good for their wives and their families. The most important point." Shao Bai looked at Song Yaojia, "Except for Lord Chang Sun, there are no elders in his family, and there is no family burden. If a girl marries into Chang Sun's mansion, she can directly become the mistress without being controlled by any elder. And His Royal Highness," he shook his head gently, "is a child of the royal family. In the future, he will deal with the ladies in the palace. This is no different from entering the palace."

"There is still a difference." Shen Cha smiled and looked at Song Yaojia, "If you want to see your daughter, you don't have to send a card several days in advance. You only need to send a note to the palace the day before."
