Chapter 977: Banquet (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Jingchen had always been self-disciplined. Even though he was on leave today, he didn’t sleep too much. He woke up early in the morning and practiced in the courtyard for an hour. After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, he went into the study.

When Bi Zhu arrived, breakfast had just been served.

Hearing Madam Li’s words, Song Jingchen frowned and instantly regained his composure. “Go back and report it to Mother. I understand.”

After Bi Zhu left, Song Jingchen pursed his lips and instructed his stunned follower, “Let’s leave for breakfast and prepare a carriage.” He thought of something and paused for a moment before continuing, “Tell Uncle Yang that there’s no need to send another carriage to pick up Brother Fan. I’ll pick him up from Lu Ming Academy later.”

“Yes.” The follower subconsciously walked out and only reacted after instructing the servants in the courtyard. He circled back and stammered, “Madam only asked you to stay away. She didn’t insist on you leaving the residence.”

Song Jingchen glanced at him. “What are you trying to say?”

The follower thought that he did not know and scratched his head. “Madam is probably going to find a match for you today. Aren’t you going to take a look secretly?”

“There’s no need for that. It’s a marriage. My parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. Mother won’t harm me.” Song Jingchen walked out.

How could he not know? He had been mentally prepared when he returned from the palace banquet that day, but he did not expect his mother to act so quickly.

It was also because he had been avoiding that girl these past few days that he did not receive the news. He left early and returned late all day. He did not even go to his mother’s courtyard, but it was not important anymore.

His words were calm, but the follower was extremely anxious. He quickly jogged after him and advised earnestly, “Whoever it is, she will be someone who will accompany you for the rest of your life in the future. Take a look. If you don’t like the girl that Madam chooses, we can stop her in time, right?”

Song Jingchen didn’t stop walking. “There’s no need. I believe in Mother.”

Anyway, marriages were not arranged on the spot. He would naturally know who his mother liked when he returned to the residence later. If the other party was really bad…

Forget it. It didn’t matter if she was good or not. In the future, when she married, she would stay in the backyard all day long and spend more time with his mother. It was fine as long as his mother liked her.

Song Jingchen tried his best to ignore the resistance in his heart. No matter how his subordinate persuaded him, he didn’t say anything else.

However, he was like an adult when he was young and did not care about his marriage at all.

The attendant was in a hurry. When he got into the carriage, he had already started to speak without thinking. “If the heir’s marriage is really set, what will happen to the princess? I thought the princess would definitely be the heir’s concubine in the future.”

“I wonder if the princess knows about this. If she finds out, she’ll be so sad. However, with the princess’s ability, she’ll probably interfere, right? If only she could really interfere.”

He persuaded his young master to stay because he thought that his young master had high standards and didn’t like any woman, thus making this banquet futile.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Song Jingchen picked up a book and ignored his nagging. He finally looked up. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The follower had a long face, as if he had been abandoned. “The princess is so good. Her heart is filled with thoughts about you. Young Master, you haven’t been in the residence these past few days. The princess comes to ask about you twice a day. Most of the time, she will carry snacks with her. When she heard that you weren’t around, she asked me to distribute the pastries to everyone. The princess is good-looking and always smiles when she speaks. She never puts on airs. I think only a good girl like the princess is worthy of the crown prince.”

“Shi An!” Song Jingchen interrupted him and frowned. “Don’t say these things again in the future. If you ruin her reputation, no one will be able to protect you if the Xuanyuan royal family finds out.”

When he got engaged, the little girl would no longer say that they were a match made in heaven, let alone call him “hubby”, right?

Song Jingchen pursed his lips. He was clearly holding his favorite travelog, but he couldn’t stand it anymore. He put the book aside and closed his eyes to rest.

Speaking of a woman’s reputation, it was even more important than her life. Shi An felt even worse. “The princess doesn’t care about this. It can be seen that she really loves you.”

“It seems that His Highness is right. I’ve really indulged you too much.” Song Jingchen glanced at him coldly.

Shi An was stunned and quickly covered his mouth with both hands. “I’ll shut up..”
