Ye Yuxiao refused without even thinking. It is true that she is a kind person, but she is not like a virgin, spending her whole life raising children for others. As for the family fortune that Ouyang Sheng left behind, they are all extraneous things, and she does not lack these.

Regarding the underworld marriage, even if she agreed, Pingnan Palace might not agree. The emperor did not force it and asked her: "Among the children of the Ouyang family, who do you think is the most suitable to inherit Asheng's title?"

Firstly, Ye Yuxiao didn't want to get involved in these matters. Secondly, she had long forgotten which children the Ouyang family had and couldn't answer them, so she said, "Why doesn't the emperor wait until the Northern Expedition army returns to the court before discussing this matter?" When King Heng and King Lu are around, you can ask a few more people for their opinions."

King Heng and King Lu? What's the use of asking them? But the emperor saw that Ye Yuxiao just didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't force her anymore and let her out of the palace.

The date for Ouyang Sheng's funeral was quickly decided. His uncles had been arguing all day long over the vacant title and had no intention of planning the funeral. However, the emperor pointed out a few ministers to take responsibility.

Ye Yuxiao was too lazy to pay attention to this. She carved a tablet for Ouyang Sheng with her own hands and kept it at home.

Gu Qingyan knew that she was not feeling well these days, so he came to her house to stay with her. When he saw this tablet, he hesitated to speak.

But there were some things she couldn't tell Ye Yuxiao, so she had to go home and tell her elders about it.

Princess Pingnan and others heard that Ye Yuxiao enshrined Ouyang Sheng's tablet at home. You look at me and I look at you, and they all think that she went too far. After all, the two of them had not yet had their last kiss. Ouyang Sheng was at most her ex-husband, and there was no reason to enshrine his memorial tablet at home.

Princess Pingnan sighed and said: "This child is so quiet. I thought she had let go, but I didn't expect..."

Han said: "It's understandable that they have a deep relationship. After all, Ah Sheng promised her to marry her when she returns from the Northern Expedition."

"But, our Xiaoxiao has just turned eighteen, and we have a long life to come." Jiang was a little anxious, "She kept Asheng's tablet at home, what will happen when she gets married in the future? Should she marry with the tablet?"

This...it seems a bit inappropriate to marry with the memorial tablet of your ex-husband. Han coughed twice and looked at Princess Pingnan.

Jiang's words just now reminded Princess Pingnan. She waved her hand and said: "The memorial tablet is easy to handle. The worst thing is that it will be brought to Prince Pingnan's palace. We don't have those taboos. We have a dedicated person to take care of it and offer incense and kowtow to him every day."

Is this easy to handle? So what is difficult to handle? Jiang heard the implication of Princess Pingnan, and after thinking about it for a moment, she understood: "Mom, Xiaoxiao is not young anymore, it's time to find a good family for her. Earlier it was because of waiting for Ah Sheng, and later it was because of Ah Sheng. The news of her death has been kept secret, so it was delayed. Now that Asheng has been dead for two years, her marriage should also be put on the agenda. "

"Xiaoxiao is just unwilling." Han interrupted.

"What's the point of not wanting to do that?" Jiang said, "In the worst case, we'll just let her stay with Ah Sheng for three years. Let's settle the marriage for her first, and then get married after one year."

"It's not a matter of three years or not." Han said, "I mean, looking at this, Xiaoxiao just wants to stay with him for the rest of his life."

After all, even the memorial tablets are provided at home.

"This is impossible." Han said very firmly, "The emperor had already asked her if she wanted to get married to Ah Sheng, adopt a child, and become the legitimate Mrs. Yingchuan Hou, but Xiaoxiao refused on the spot. If she really wants to stay with him for the rest of her life, wouldn't getting married be the best choice? Since she refused, it means she has no intention of doing so. "

"It makes sense." Han nodded, "Then let's select a few suitable candidates for her and let her choose."

Princess Pingnan has always been worried. Ye Yuxiao is already eighteen years old. At this age, she is really a bit old. Most of the men of the right age in the capital are already married and have children. Where can she find a suitable one for her?

Both the Han family and the Jiang family were very aware of Princess Pingnan's troubles. They knew most of the well-matched families in the capital, and looking at them one by one, there were really not many suitable ones left.

However, this matter cannot be postponed any longer. This year is already halfway through. Regardless of whether Ye Yuxiao wants to give Ouyang Sheng three years to stay, by the time she gets married, she will already be nineteen and will have difficulty giving birth to a child.

The three of them were all anxious. Regardless of Gu Qingyan still listening, they gathered together and rounded up all the men in the capital who were not yet married and who were on the same doorstep as Prince Pingnan.

Han said: "I think the second son of the Yan'an uncle's family is good. Although he is not destined for the title, we, Xiaoxiao, happen to be busy with the medical clinic and have no time to be the prince's wife. The two of them are just right."

"No, no." Ms. Jiang shook her head repeatedly, "This second young master Qiu is almost forty this year. Not to mention his age, the children left by his first wife have all given him grandchildren. If we, Xiaoxiao, marry him, , do you want to become a grandmother directly?"

Just become a grandmother? Gu Qingyan burst out laughing.

Mr. Han glared at her and said, "Little girl, why are you joining in the fun here? Go back to your room quickly."

Gu Qingyan stuck out her tongue, moved from the seat on the left to the seat on the right, and pretended that she had left.

Han wanted to talk about her, but Jiang gave her a hand and signaled her to get down to business: "What do you think of the ninth son of the Duke of Jin? He has a good family background, a decent appearance, and the most important thing is that he is honest. Otherwise, we, Xiaoxiao, are already busy and have no time to take care of him."

"No, no." Mr. Han, like Mr. Jiang just now, shook his head repeatedly, "This Ninth Young Master is only fifteen this year."

"What's wrong with fifteen? He's only three years younger than our Xiaoxiao." Jiang didn't agree.

"Don't forget that Xiaoxiao is only three years older than him. The key point is that Xiaoxiao is already past the most suitable age for marriage. If we go to their house to propose marriage, we will have to rush. How can we rush to ask for a marriage? Ruyi? After Xiaoxiao goes to their house, will she be able to straighten her back and live a good life?" Han firmly objected.

It’s not that you can’t straighten your back and be a good person, but that you can’t be as arrogant as before, right? But as a girl from Prince Pingnan's palace, if she can't live her life arrogantly, then what else is there to do? It would be better not to marry. Jiang agreed with Han's view and gave up on the Ninth Young Master.

This didn't work, and that didn't work either. The two of them frowned, and Princess Pingnan didn't express an opinion from the beginning to the end. Seeing them like this, Gu Qingyan stepped forward and said, "How about giving King Lu to my cousin? As long as I can go into battle and kill the enemy, it doesn't matter if I have King Lu."

"Damn girl, what are you talking about! Is this possible?" Han was so angry that he wanted to hit her, "If you are willing to give in, your cousin still wants it!"

Jiang quickly stopped Han, turned to Gu Qingyan and said, "Second girl, you are not young anymore. If you give up King Lu to your cousin, what will you do?"

That's right, she's not too young anymore, and she waited until this point just to wait for Zhang Chengxuan. Gu Qingyan had to give up this plan and said: "Then tell Tan Shizhao to my cousin. One of them is in charge of the medical center and the girls' school, and the other is in charge of the boys' school. They are a perfect match. From now on, both of them will revolve around Mingche, and There’s no need to complain about anyone who doesn’t care about their family.”

Now it seems that Tan Shizhao is really a very suitable candidate, but... Han looked at Jiang: "That child Ruyan..."

Jiang waved her hand and said: "Ruyan is not a problem. Tan Shizhao didn't like her in the first place. It's just that Tan Shizhao had a sweetheart. Last year, Xiaoxiao made an appointment with him to meet her. It was just because Mingche Boys' School had just been built. Tan Shizhao couldn't leave, so we were delayed."

It turns out that Tan Shizhao already has a sweetheart, but that won't work out. Han quickly told Gu Qingyan to give up the idea.

All the candidates they could think of were eliminated. The three of them were at a loss and all looked at Princess Pingnan.

Princess Pingnan sighed and said: "Actually, since the news of Asheng's death came out, many people have asked me about Xiaoxiao's marriage and are interested in marrying us. But in my opinion, those people are all crooked. Either Either he is a shabby householder who has no title, and is interested in Xiaoxiao's dowry; or he is a widower whose children have already been married, and he wants to marry Xiaoxiao to show his appearance. I don't like any of these people, but the people I like are all disgusting. Xiaoxiao is a bit old and hasn’t had children yet, so I’m afraid she won’t be able to have a legitimate son after she gets married.”

If you don't succeed at a high level, you won't settle at a low level. This is probably the case. Jiang sighed and said, "The world is unfair, and it's so difficult for women. Those students who only focus on taking the imperial examinations only talk about marriage when they are thirty or forty years old, but they can still marry a yellow flower girl who is fifteen or sixteen years old. My daughter, but a woman is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is already rejected and no one wants her."

The fact is that there is no point in sighing, the key is to solve the problem. Han thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, tell Xiaoxiao about the third child in the family."

The third child? Princess Pingnan and others were all stunned.

"Yes, the third child." Han nodded and said, "Although the third child in our family is a bit stupid, he and Xiaoxiao grew up together, and he will definitely not bully Xiaoxiao. Besides, Xiaoxiao and the third child are married, and they are still in our family. How can we make her feel wronged?"

It makes sense, it really works! Although the third child is not a good match for Ye Yuxiao in terms of age, compared with other benefits, this mismatch can be ignored.

Princess Pingnan immediately made the decision: "Okay, it's the third child. Let's not talk about so many rules in our own family. Let's quickly invite an official mediator to come. We will settle the marriage now and let Xiaoxiao get married to him next year!" "

"Everyone, who do you want Xiaoxiao to marry?"

Suddenly, a young man's slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door.
