Chapter 358: Discussing the Wedding Date

After a stick of incense, Jiang Suining left the Liuli Pavilion and walked slowly on the palace road.

The palace maid who led the way turned her head back several times while turning the corner.

Seeing that Jiang Suining was neither looking around curiously nor looking straight ahead nervously, but had a leisurely posture and a dignified demeanor, he was distracted by curiosity and went in the wrong direction when he turned again.

Jiang Suining stopped and said, "This doesn't seem to be the way out of the palace."

If she remembered correctly, this path led to the imperial study.

The maid came to her senses and said quickly, "Please forgive me, Miss Jiang. I was distracted for a moment."

"It's okay." Jiang Suining shook his head.

The two turned around and were about to leave when Shen Yanxi came over from the other end of the palace road.

Looking at Jiang Suining's back, I recognized him at a glance.

"Sui Ning."

Jiang Suining stopped and Shen Yanxi walked quickly forward.

"Your servant greets Lord Shen." The palace maid bowed and spoke.

"Are you leaving the palace?" Shen Yanxi asked.

After seeing Jiang Suining nod, Shen Yanxi said to the palace maid, "You don't need to lead the way anymore. Please leave."

"Yes." The maid replied and left.

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi walked side by side towards the palace gate. When Shen Yanxi learned that he was entering the palace because the fifth princess summoned him, he paused.

"Don't worry, I know what I am doing." Jiang Suining also stopped and spoke with a smile.

Shen Yanxi didn't say much, just looked at the person in front of him. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Ningning, you see me today, don't you have anything to say?"

Shen Yanxi's eyes were full of anticipation.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi curiously, "What good thing happened to you?"

"It's a good thing indeed, but it's not just for me." Shen Yanxi saw Jiang Suining's puzzled expression, as if he really didn't know anything, and was slightly stunned. "Uncle and aunt haven't told you yet?"

"Don't keep us in suspense. What's the matter?" Jiang Suining urged.

Shen Yanxi smiled again, "After my father got off duty yesterday, he went to the Jiang family with my mother to discuss the date of our wedding."

Jiang Suining was startled and remembered what Zheng said at the city gate. It turned out that the people he met were Shen Yanxi's parents.

"Is it decided?" Jiang Suining asked.

"Not yet, but from what my father and mother said, my uncle and aunt also hope that we can get married as soon as possible. They just want to ask for your opinion." Shen Yanxi raised the corners of his lips and held Jiang Suining's hand, "When do you think the wedding date would be better?"

A warm touch came from the palm of my hand, and the sunlight fell on the palace road, reflecting Shen Yanxi's smiling face.

It’s so bright that it’s blinding.

Jiang Suining was stunned for a moment, and frankly said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but why did you suddenly mention the wedding date?"

Shen Yanxi tightened his grip on Jiang Suining's hand and said jokingly, "We've been engaged for a long time, and it's time for us to get married. Do you still want to abandon me?"

"This..." Jiang Suining looked embarrassed.

Shen Yanxi's face froze, "Don't tell me you really thought about it."

Jiang Suining couldn't help laughing, "Of course I haven't thought about it that way. After all, Lord Shen has a promising future. I don't know how many girls in the imperial city want to marry him. I can't bear to give him up like this."

"I'm glad to know." Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows, showing a rare bit of smugness, but he was greatly relieved in his heart.

He always felt that Ningning didn't care about marriage as much as other girls, and sometimes even seemed to be indifferent. At that moment just now, he was really worried that the person in front of him would change his mind.

fortunately!

fortunately!

Jiang Suining took in all of Shen Yanxi's reactions, "Shen Yanxi, are you really afraid that I will regret the engagement?"

"Nonsense, that's not happening." Shen Yanxi denied it immediately.

Jiang Suining lifted up the hand that Shen Yanxi was holding hers, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "If not, then why is the palm of Lord Shen's hand so sweaty? The weather doesn't seem to be that hot now."

Shen Yanxi then realized the sweat on his palm and immediately pulled his hand back. Looking at Jiang Suining's frowning eyes, he still maintained a stubborn attitude.

"It's just that I've been feeling a bit sweaty lately."

Realizing that he didn't bring a handkerchief, Shen Yanxi gently held Jiang Suining's hand and wiped her palm with his sleeve.

Looking at Shen Yanxi who was bending down to wipe his hands, Jiang Suining swallowed the words "I brought a handkerchief" and just smiled at him.

"Shen Yanxi, how about setting our wedding date at the beginning of winter this year?"

Shen Yanxi was startled for a moment, then he quickly raised his head and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly said again.

"But is the beginning of winter an auspicious day? Or is there any saying about it?"

"It's nothing special." Jiang Suining shook his head and chuckled. "I just remember when I was a child, my father always said that the beginning of October, the beginning of the Qin year, and the beginning of winter meant a day of rest and recuperation. The working farmers began to relax, and the people brewed rice wine and drank mutton soup in every household. And that day was also a rare day in the year when he would put aside government affairs and sit around the fire with us, with all kinds of food on the table. So I always remember that the beginning of winter is particularly happy."

Jiang Suining's eyes were filled with nostalgia. Shen Yanxi stared at her and said with a smile, "Okay, let's choose that day."

"It just occurred to me that if you want to choose another auspicious day..."

"The day you chose is the best auspicious day." Shen Yanxi said with a smile and serious tone.

Jiang Suining paused and looked at the person in front of him. "Apart from this day, don't you have anything else you want to ask?"

She believed that Shen Yanxi should have noticed it before, but he never asked her.

And she just mentioned that her father handled government affairs, which clearly showed that she was definitely not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. It was impossible for Shen Yanxi not to have heard this.

"Yes." Shen Yanxi held Jiang Suining's hand again and spoke as they continued walking towards the palace gate.

"I have already told my parents that after we get married, we hope to move out of the mansion and live somewhere else. They have agreed. I would also like to ask you, if you were to choose a house, where would you choose?"

"As for how the house is decorated, it will be up to you to decide."

"Oh, and there's also..."

"Shen Yanxi." Jiang Suining interrupted Shen Yanxi and stopped, "Don't you want to ask who my father is?"

"Not at this moment."

"Why?" Jiang Suining wondered.

Shen Yanxi did not answer, but asked: "If you tell me your father's identity now, will you use this as an excuse to persuade me to think carefully about marriage?"

Jiang Suining was stunned. Could she?

It should be possible.

These should have been within Shen Yanxi's consideration. If it weren't for the hasty engagement due to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, he should have been told before the engagement was finalized.

However, this does not mean that she does not want to continue the marriage, she just hopes that Shen Yanxi can know more clearly.

Looking at Jiang Suining's reaction, Shen Yanxi understood her answer.

"Ningning, no matter who your father is or what your background is, I will marry you. This will not change. But I am really happy now, so even though I know you are not trying to use this as an excuse to refuse the marriage, I still don't want to hear you say anything to make me think carefully, at least not right now."

After all, he is just an ordinary man, a common man who worries about gains and losses.
