Su Liuyue naturally knew about this matter.

But she disagreed with Xue Wenjin's statement, "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's starting point was for me, if my eldest cousin and third cousin were not good enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not value you so much.

Third cousin, please don't be too self-deprecating."

Xue Wenbo, who was standing by, couldn't help but point at himself, looking confused, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think highly of me?"

Could Liu Yue have made some mistake?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the honor of competing with him, but he lost so miserably. Yet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still willing to praise him. This was enough for him to be proud of for the rest of his life!
He never dared to dream that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would value him!
However, the two people beside him didn't even look at him. Xue Wenjin suddenly chuckled and said, "Liu Yue, don't think too highly of me. Although I keep saying that I don't want to gain anything from your marriage, I was still indescribably happy when I got the approval of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Especially after discovering that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might be a rare wise ruler in the world."

He also knew that the Crown Prince valued him so much because of Liu Yue.

On the other hand, I am happy because of this kind of appreciation.

He even looked down on himself a little.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but blink, and said speechlessly: "Third cousin, are all you literati so awkward? Why do you always care about whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ​​you because of me?

My marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a foregone conclusion. After our wedding next month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will follow me and call you cousin.

We are all family, isn't it normal for him to help you?

Do I have to feel embarrassed for you and my uncle and aunt helping me, or even secretly think that you shouldn't help me?"

Xue Wenjin was stunned.

Su Liuyue curled her lips and said bluntly: "Third cousin, you think this way, in the final analysis, you still don't regard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as my future husband, your future cousin-in-law.

Let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, I feel like speaking up for him.

Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only given you a chance. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your own ability.

I am not afraid to tell you that that guy...well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who will show favoritism. If you are not really in his eyes, he will probably just see you as my cousin as he just said."

Then assign him some nominal position with no real substance.

That's definitely something Zhou Yunke could do.

Xue Wenjin was speechless for a long time.

Liu Yue's words were like a brick hitting him on the head. He suddenly felt as if a light had been turned on. Thinking back to his struggle and awkwardness just now, he suddenly found it extremely funny.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but raised his lips in self-mockery and said, "You are right, I am asking for trouble.

According to what you said, I was more than rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now.

It seems that I will have to find time to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again in a few days to make amends."

After saying that, he suddenly smiled faintly and looked at Su Liuyue, "However, my attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also due to you.

When you suddenly called me over and told me that you were going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you looked clearly confused and at a loss.

At least, it is definitely not a normal attitude for a woman facing her marriage. "

At that time, the emperor's decree granting the marriage had not even come down.

Although she hid her confusion as always, he could see it.

At that moment, he felt sorry for his cousin. No one knew how excited she was when she planned her future life. She suddenly overturned her previous plan and told him with a confused and even panicked look that she might marry the Crown Prince and take a completely different path. How could he agree with this marriage from the bottom of his heart?

Su Liuyue was slightly startled, and then she saw Xue Wenjin suddenly raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Now, the expression on your face when you talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely different from a few days ago.

I feel somewhat relieved.”

She even had to complain to her cousin for the sake of her future husband.

Su Liuyue didn't expect that Xue Wenjin thought this way and noticed the changes in her over the past few days.

Isn't she aware of the changes in herself these days?

If she was a little uneasy about the path she would take in the future at the beginning, these days, all her uneasiness had been completely eliminated by Zhou Yunke.

Even if not as a husband, but just as a partner, Zhou Yunke is a trustworthy person.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Don't worry, third cousin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats me very well."

Xue Wenjin's eyes couldn't help but soften.

Xue Wenbai, who was wandering outside the conversation the whole time, said: "..."

So, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince value him so much?
A few days later, Xue Wenjin, as he said, personally selected some gifts and visited Zhou Yunke again.

That time, Su Liuyue did not go with them because Yun repeatedly emphasized that their wedding was approaching. Normally, she and Zhou Yunke should not meet one month before the wedding.

For this reason, she even went to Jingzhao Prefecture less frequently these days.

Therefore, she had no idea what Xue Wenjin had said to Zhou Yunke that day. She only knew that not long after that, Xue Wenjin's appointment document came down.

The position he was assigned was also somewhat surprising.

He did not enter the Hanlin Academy, but was assigned to serve as the county magistrate of Xinfeng County, a county town near Xinjing.

Although Xinfeng County is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, which is next to Xinjing, it is very close to Xinjing, almost right next to Xinjing. It takes less than an hour to get to Xinfeng County from Xinjing City.

The position of county magistrate may seem low, but considering the geographical location of Xinfeng County, it is indeed a position that everyone envies.

That means you are truly at the feet of the emperor, but you don't have to be under his jurisdiction! If you have made any achievements, it will be reported to the emperor immediately. Even if there are any mistakes in your work, you can make up for it a little so that the emperor won't know about it immediately.

The Xue family was very satisfied with his position. Xue Lingwan's eyes sparkled as she said, "Third brother, this will be very convenient for you to go home or for us to look for you. This must be specially arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Next time I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely rush up to him and call him my cousin-in-law. Maybe if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is happy, he will introduce a few more big clients to Man Yifang!"

These days, Su Liuyue let Xue Lingwan get in touch with more of Man Yifang's affairs. Now that Man Yifang wants to open a branch, she basically handed it over to her.

So much so that the little girl's mind is now full of how to make Man Yifang bigger and stronger, and her eyes have even turned to Zhou Yunke.

Everyone was helpless and amused when they heard this. Yun tapped her forehead unhappily and said, "Don't you have enough customers at Manyifang? Some ladies who are close to me often complain to me that you sell too few cakes every day at Manyifang. Many times they sent people to buy some but failed."

Xue Lingwan covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Man Yi Fang will soon be opening two more branches! Of course, the more customers the better!"

Xue Chengyi, who was more familiar with the affairs of the court, looked at Xue Wenjin and said, "This position is assigned very cleverly. It allows you to attract attention without being too much envy. After all, it is still a far cry from being a scholar who can enter the Hanlin Academy. It is in line with your ranking in the imperial examination. Your Highness is thoughtful.

What's more, he deliberately transferred you out of the center of power, probably intending to keep you away from the emperor's sight and train you into his confidant.

You must work hard and don't let His Highness down.

Besides, it is also a good thing that you can leave Xinjing temporarily now."

Su Liuyue keenly noticed the solemnity on Xue Chengyi's face, and couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Uncle, but what happened in the court recently?" (End of this chapter)
