The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 350 Why not
"Could it be that Miss Luo's maiden name is not on this list?"
"That's right." Chu Yunzhao nodded, looking disappointed. "The reason is that Miss Luo and I have conflicting horoscopes. If we force a marriage, I'm afraid it will hurt her family, especially the elders."
"There are not many elderly people left in the Luo family, but since the beginning of summer this year, the Royal Grandmother's health has not been as good as in previous years, and she has been bedridden more often than in previous years."
"To be honest, if something goes wrong with the Empress Dowager after Miss Luo and I get married, I'm afraid all the blame will be put on Miss Luo and me."
"For Miss Yu Luo, it's a hard fate, but for me, it's knowingly committing a crime, being disloyal and unfilial. By then, I will be a fool who has lost his mind due to lust, but my father values filial piety the most, so he will definitely scold me severely and remember me."
"The Queen's move is really cruel." Chu Jinnian seemed to be thinking about something. "It can not only prevent you, the Fourth Prince, from using the wedding to win over powerful people, but also take the opportunity to make things difficult for you and prevent you from getting what you want."
"If my guess is correct, the names of the daughters of those who hold great power are probably not on this list, right?"
"Although you and the Imperial Concubine knew about this, you couldn't really bring it to the Emperor. After all, the list is well-founded, and if you bring it up, it would only mean that you have the ambition to form a clique, which is just a chance to accuse you of a crime."
"That's right." Chu Yunzhao nodded, then sighed, "My mother and I can guess what the queen is thinking at this moment, but we also understand the consequences of making a fuss. We are in trouble now, but we have no power to fight back, so we are very upset."
"Mother has lost her appetite for the past two days because of this, and she has fallen ill. The imperial physician just went to see her after lunch and said that she was worried too much."
"I have tried to comfort Mother for a long time, but Mother may not listen to me..."
Chu Jinnian clenched the fingers in his sleeves.
I have to say that this queen has always behaved like this from beginning to end.
Regardless of whether the other party has ulterior motives or not, we will be careful to guard against them and eliminate all hidden dangers without leaving any behind.
"The Queen's move is indeed too cruel, but it's not completely impossible to crack it." Chu Jinnian put down the teacup in his hand.
"Oh?" Chu Yunzhao's eyes, which had just been dejected, suddenly lit up. "What's the solution? Tell me."
"Since the queen is using the birth date to make a fuss, and using the current queen mother's phoenix body as a shield, it would be better to use this method."
Chu Jinnian said, "Since the Queen can say that Miss Luo and you are not compatible and will easily bring bad luck to the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother is in poor health, why not just say that there is someone who is very compatible with the eldest prince and will bring good luck to the husband and the country, and will also help the Queen Mother's health."
"If there is such a person, given the eldest prince's personality, he will definitely marry her to help his career. As for the queen, she would like to please the emperor and the queen mother and gain a reputation as a virtuous woman, so why not do it?"
"For the royal family, it's just a matter of marrying a few more concubines for the eldest prince. Having more grandchildren is also a very good thing. They will definitely not interfere."
"So, this person can marry into the eldest prince's house."
"I don't quite understand what you said. If this is done, wouldn't it make the eldest prince and the queen have a reputation for being virtuous? It would be icing on the cake?" Chu Yunzhao frowned and looked at Chu Jinnian in confusion.
"Of course she has earned a reputation as a virtuous woman outside, but if the concubine she married back home is ambitious, unwilling to be inferior to others, and relies on her fortune to bring good luck to her husband and becomes arrogant..."
Chu Jinnian didn't finish his words, but just curled his lips and smiled slightly.
Chu Yunzhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"If this happens, the eldest prince will definitely be in turmoil in his harem, which will be enough to give the eldest prince and the queen a huge headache."
Chu Yunzhao slapped his thigh and laughed, "Besides, this person cannot be divorced easily. Firstly, she is reluctant to give up her so-called luck and destiny of being a prosperous husband. Secondly, she cannot tear apart her virtuous and dignified appearance."
"That's right. The queen is so virtuous, but she is actually suffering inside. She has lifted a rock and dropped it on her own foot. In the end, she can't even cry out in pain. She can only swallow her anger."
Chu Jinnian said, "Right now, we just need to find a suitable person. If one is not enough, two will be fine. Then we can find the right time to spread the news. We don't have to worry about not getting things done well."
"But this move will only make the Queen and the First Prince suffer, and I'm afraid it won't help you and Miss Luo's marriage."
"I'm afraid your two matters will be delayed for quite some time."
When Chu Jinnian mentioned this, the light that had just lit up in Chu Yunzhao's eyes dimmed again in an instant.
It's more than a delay. I'm afraid there's no hope at all.
With the reputation of being incompatible with the empress dowager and unfavorable to the empress dowager, he would not dare to take the risk as long as the empress dowager was alive. However, if the empress dowager was not alive, he would have to observe mourning for three years. At Luo Shishan's age, she could not wait any longer.
Moreover, the emperor is now frequently asking about his marriage, so at least this year, his marriage must be settled.
Even if he has the chance to marry Luo Shishan in the future, the position of the principal wife can only be given to someone else.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even if she could make up for it in the future, if she surpassed the position of the principal wife, she would be impeached for favoring the concubine over the wife, which would be a reason for gossip.
It can be said that he was ultimately unable to give Luo Shishan the status she deserved.
I will feel sorry for her after all.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunzhao felt blocked in his heart. He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Chu Jinnian knew that he was unhappy at the moment, so he reached out and patted his shoulder.
Chu Yunzhao smiled bitterly, "The imperial family is the most ruthless. Since I was born here, I have to have regrets. God has always been fair."
"If you think about it, even if I can marry Miss Luo as my principal wife, she won't be the only one in this mansion in the future. She will still have to watch me being intimate and loving with other women. In the end, I will not be able to let her down."
"Why not wait until I have some free time in the next few days to explain this matter to Miss Luo, and ask Lord Luo to choose a good husband for Miss Luo as soon as possible, so that Miss Luo can have a good home as soon as possible."
The last sentence was spoken in a dull voice and slowly, as if there were thousands of sorrows in the heart that could not be relieved, and as if there was a heart full of melancholy that could not be expressed in words.
Chu Jinnian sighed slightly in his heart.
Chu Yunzhao is the person who least looks like a prince in this imperial family.
The other princes naturally have their own emotions and desires, and they also have women they love.
