Raiders of His Royal Highness - Chapter 163
In the front hall of the East Palace, Mrs. Fang, the mother of the Qin family, who was dressed in a second-grade official dress, sat down below, her face was calm but there was a hint of unease.
After a while, the palace servants outside shouted loudly, “His Royal Highness is here, and the concubine is here—”
Mrs Fang stood up, facing the door and said, “The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager.”
Listening to Yu Ling’s low voice to avoid her salute, Mrs. Fang still bowed her head and stood up after bowing her head respectfully.
Yu Ling supported Qin Zhirong, who was still a little weak, and sat on the head. She turned to look at Mrs. Fang, and said in a calm voice, “I don’t know what Mrs. Qin has to do?”
Originally, Qin Zhirong was not in good health, so it was not suitable for him to see guests. But the Qin family mistress handed over the post, expressing her request to see the crown prince.
The Jing Dynasty has always respected the way of benevolence and filial piety. Qin Zhirong, as the direct daughter of the Qin family and the nominal daughter of the Fang family, could not refuse this, so he had to accept it.
However, Yu Ling was worried that she was still very weak, so she didn’t care about the rules that foreign women should not meet with royal men, and came to the front hall with Qin Zhirong.
Therefore, seeing Yu Ling coming along, Mr. Fang felt even more uneasy in his heart.
She hesitated for a while, but finally said: “It doesn’t really matter. The court lady came here today just to ask the Crown Princess for a favor for Yufei…”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhirong probably guessed her thoughts.
A grace… The grace that the noble lady in Beijing wants is nothing more than a good marriage from the royal family.
And… Mr. Fang came to ask for marriage at this time, and I’m afraid there are some impure purposes.
Yu Ling and Qin Zhirong looked at each other, laughed softly, and asked Mrs. Fang, “Oh? I wonder what grace Mrs. Qin wants to ask for the second lady?”
Seeing Mrs. Fang’s seeming embarrassment, Yu Ling played with the tea cup on the table, her voice sounded cold: “Prince Concubine is feeling unwell at the moment, Mrs. Qin said it is the same as Ben Gong.”
Yu Ling insisted, Fang Shi was helpless, so she said in a low voice: “Yu Fei has already reached her hairpin, but there is no suitable family to look at. So I wanted to ask the Crown Princess, can I suggest a marriage for Yu Fei, okay? Let the ministers and wives stop worrying about their children.”
Originally, before they came, Mrs. Fang and Da Shiqin had been optimistic about the direct son of the prince’s grandfather’s family, Duke Song Guogong’s mansion. can be done.
But facing Yu Ling at this moment, Mr. Fang couldn’t speak like that.
It’s not that she still needs face, but her original plan was to put pressure on Qin Zhirong to let her do it. When she blows the pillow wind to the prince, there is a high probability that she will be foolproof.
But if she asked the prince personally, maybe the prince would be unhappy.
After all, Qin Zhirong is her daughter, she can ask her to do something, but she can’t ask the prince to do anything.
Yu Ling didn’t know Fang Shi’s thoughts, but she was also unhappy that she hurriedly begged Qin Zhirong just to ask for a marriage for her daughter.
“I wonder if Mrs. Qin has someone she likes?” She didn’t look at Mrs. Fang again, and her voice was completely cold.
Fang Shi pursed his lips, but after all, he didn’t say anything about the eldest grandson of Song Guogong’s mansion.
“Since I asked the Crown Princess to confer the marriage, I also wanted the Crown Princess to give Yu Fei the palms and eyes, and choose for her.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Zhirong who was silent beside Yu Ling.
Yu Ling nodded and said, “Mrs. Qin’s request has been written down by both the Palace and the Crown Princess. When the Crown Princess is in better health, she will look at the second lady, and then invite Madam Qin to the palace when there is a suitable family. Discuss this.”
“Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the ministers are leaving.” Mrs. Fang was relieved after hearing Yu Ling’s response to this matter, and bowed before leaving.
Fortunately, although there is no mention of the son-in-law of the Song family, the marriage can be considered a success.
As soon as Mrs Fang left, Yu Ling walked over to Qin Zhirong, who had lowered her head, took her little hand, and kneaded gently, “Mrs. Qin is wholeheartedly seeking refuge for her daughter and their Qin residence, but I sincerely appreciate it. Very, just for you… I’m really cold-hearted.”
Just now, she mentioned that Qin Zhirong was not feeling well, but Mr. Fang didn’t seem to care about it at all, and only thought about the marriage. He didn’t even care about Qin Zhirong’s words.
In this regard, Yu Ling was very distressed.
She knelt down in front of Qin Zhirong on one knee, looked at her very disappointed expression, and said softly, “The Qin mansion is your family after all, although they don’t have much affection for you, they won’t tear their face. Just pick a similar gift at will, and then their request can be ignored.”
In the end, it is necessary to maintain a peaceful face, otherwise, outsiders are afraid that Qin Zhirong has no affection for her family after becoming the crown princess… Yu Ling does not want Qin Zhirong to be criticized, and she does not want her to be stained with any blemish.
“Mrs. Qin’s request for marriage at this time is probably also for peace of mind. You can deal with it at will. This palace will be behind you and will always be your backing.”
Before that, Qin Da Shi was very swaying. Although he did not participate in the second prince’s rebellion, he did not provide any help to Yu Ling.
So now, seeing Yu Ling quietly returning to Beijing and taking over the government, he also knew that this throne was probably something in Yu Ling’s pocket…
Therefore, at this time, Mrs. Fang entered the palace and asked for a marriage order, so as to test Yu Ling’s thoughts about their Qin residence.
Second… If they really agreed to the marriage, the others would also know that although their Qin residence did not help the prince, they were still the family of Zhongming Dingshi who received the emperor’s favor.
