A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1364 - 1362: Women? Aren’t They All the Same?

County Princess Yilan’s perspective was also very clear; she boldly raised her head.

"What I want is a soulmate!"

"He has me in his heart, I have him in mine, hearts in harmony, cherishing each other!"

Yue Er breathed a sigh of relief and silently gave her a thumbs-up:

Sure enough, she’s worthy of being her good best friend, brave enough!

The Imperial Concubine was first startled.

After calming down and thinking it over, she also found it reasonable, and said.

"Mother knows your thoughts!"

"Mother once had this thought too, but..."

But ultimately, there’s no such condition!

It’s not like childhood sweethearts who grew up together. If you now deliberately go to meet someone, what would it be?

A secret exchange? A private engagement?

No matter what it is, gossip would not sound good.

She sighed, but still decided to refuse harshly.

"No way!"

"Even though I fully understand and care for you, what about your father, grandmother, and grandfather?"

There’s a set of rules for women in the boudoir discussing marriage.

One cannot ask the whole family to accompany you in changing the rules!

Yilan seemed to have anticipated it, forcing a smile.

"It’s fine, Mother!"

"I trust your judgment and also believe that my brothers, father, grandparents all care for me!"

"Don’t worry, I will definitely not do anything out of line!"

Yue Er was a bit shocked; this wasn’t like Cousin Yilan’s character.

But upon further thought, she was relieved; after all, the situation was indeed like this, so she didn’t say anything.

However, what Cousin Yilan said next surprised her greatly.

Just seeing her with a resolute look, serious expression, she spoke word by word.

"But I have one condition!"

The Imperial Concubine hurriedly asked.

"What condition?"

"Before the engagement, I must see him in person!"

Secretly or openly, she must know what her future husband looks like.

She doesn’t want to marry blind, nor to live the rest of her life blindly.

She must know what kind of person will walk into marriage with her and grow old together.

Even if she can’t understand fully, she must at least know the appearance.

Yue Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

’Thank goodness!’

’Indeed, Cousin is still Cousin!’

She was really afraid that Yilan might suddenly compromise.

If she compromised, she definitely wouldn’t be happy.

If she’s unhappy, the consequences could be very dire.

The Imperial Concubine was a bit troubled.

Yue Er hurriedly said.

"This isn’t a big issue; the palace often has banquets, and we often go out!"

"Meeting should be easy!"

The Imperial Concubine was still a bit worried.

Yue Er continued.

"At worst, we’ll call more people!"

"Aunt, rest assured, leave it to me; no one will find out!"

"Once Cousin meets him, you can proceed with the engagement!"

"Cousin can also prepare for marriage peacefully; isn’t that perfect? Right, Cousin?"

Yilan gratefully looked at her and nodded.

The Imperial Concubine was moved.

Initially reluctant to agree, she thought about fulfilling her daughter’s wish and allowing her to prepare for marriage peacefully.

She gritted her teeth.

"Okay!"

"I as your mother will pretend I don’t know this affair!"

"Be careful, don’t let any word slip!"

If others knew her daughter was secretly looking at the future master before an engagement, it would be terrible.

It could harm her reputation or stain her purity; that’s a big deal!

"Don’t worry, Aunt!"

Yue Er patted her chest as reassurance!

...

Meanwhile, at the Nan Family.

Returning from Prince He Mansion, it was already Shen Hour.

Master Prince Nan Yunze assisted his mother off the carriage and escorted her all the way to the main courtyard.

Lady of Marquis Pingan was over fifty, her physical strength already weak, coupled with the heat outside, and after a busy day, she was thoroughly exhausted.

However, she rarely got to see her son, so after returning to the main courtyard, she didn’t even change clothes, immediately dismissing the servants to talk with her son.

Seeing his mother looking a bit unwell, Nan Yunze advised.

"Mother, rest for a while first, we can talk tomorrow!"

Lady Hou shook her head.

"No, this matter must be resolved quickly!"

"You are not young anymore, and I only have you as my son; without marrying, how can I be at peace!"

Nan Yunze was quite helpless, but said no more, just silently offered his mother a cup of tea.

Lady Hou took the cup, drank a few sips, finally catching her breath, and then pulled him to ask.

"How was it?"

Nan Yunze was somewhat perplexed.

"How was what?"

Lady Hou astonishedly replied.

"Of course, how was Prince He Mansion?"

Nan Yunze realized, paused for a while, and said.

"They were quite nice; several brothers in the family are very well-mannered!"

Lady Hou’s face broke into a smile.

"Right!"

"Mother really has a good eye!"

Lady Hou was quite pleased.

"Though Prince He Mansion is of the older generation, they are still highly favored by the king!"

"Prince He Mansion is strictly disciplined, even the servants follow rules, let alone the masters!"

"I heard that County Princess Yilan’s nurturing Sister was from the palace, and I’ve seen that girl a few times!"

"She’s straightforward, not coy, good-looking, well-mannered!"

"She might be capricious, but that’s understandable; just go along with her in the future!"

While speaking, she was also envisioning her son marrying the County Princess, and how the couple would reunite after marriage and be devoted to her.

How wonderful!

"Anyway... Mother quite likes her!!"

"What do you think, son?"

Nan Yunze curled his lips; Mother’s words were asking for it.

Since things have been said to this extent, what else dare he say?

He immediately and respectfully said.

"Marriage has always been a matter of parental authority and matchmaking; since Mother likes her, I have no objection!"

A woman, isn’t it just that? Whether it’s this one or another, marriage must happen anyway.

Since Mother likes her so much, then marry her.

As long as that woman isn’t excessive, he naturally wouldn’t mistreat her.

The man is responsible for external affairs while the woman manages internal affairs; living peacefully and harmoniously is enough.

What more can be done?

Stories of earth-shattering love in dramas, those are only dramas.

He doesn’t have high demands for a wife.

As long as she’s capable of managing the household, continuing the lineage, and pleasing Mother, then it’s sufficient.

As for the rest, he could still take concubines!

...

Seeing her otherwise eccentric son agree so readily, Lady Hou was quite pleased.

"What the old man said is right, my son has really grown up!"

Nan Yunze quickly advised.

"Mother, it’s getting late, let’s not talk of these trivial matters now, please rest!"

Lady Hou happily agreed.

"Alright, alright!"

"Now that a wish is fulfilled, Mother can sleep soundly!"

After saying that, she struggled to stand.

"Off you go, Mother will take a nap!"

"Yes!"

Bidding farewell to Mother, Nan Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief, walking out from the main courtyard.
