Chapter 47 Influence on Marriage
The Duke's wife never thought deeply about it. Her third sister's daughter would not be a concubine, and she would not allow it.
The marriages of her two sons were settled. As a weak little girl, she was thought to have no other thoughts. But now, listening to her sons' words, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Shuangshuang, auntie knows you can't do it. Since your second cousin doesn't like it, you'd better not go."
Li Shuang already knew that she couldn't go, she had never been special in her second cousin's place, there was only Shen Shurong, and she had been the only one since she was a child.
The maid helped her up and said, "Aunt, Shuangshuang knows she is wrong and will go home now."
"Hey, girl, your second cousin has been a jerk since he was a child. Don't listen to him. Auntie believes you."
The Duke's wife hugged her niece and said, "Good Shuangshuang, stay at home with your aunt. If you want to go anywhere, your aunt will accompany you."
Li Shuang burst into laughter and said, "Aunt, you still have to take care of the weddings of my two cousins. How can Shuang Shuang cause more trouble?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said that she was sensible, "Don't be angry with your second cousin. Neither your aunt nor he can afford to be angry. Go back and have a rest. Your aunt will come to you when she is free."
After Li Shuang left, he turned around and instructed the personal nanny to keep an eye on Li Shuang.
The marriages of both sons are very important, so we should be prepared for any eventuality and avoid any scandal.
…
In the Qiutong Courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, Jin Zhi was imitating what happened on the boat yesterday. Chen Shurong was listening with great interest. It would be fun to have a mess in Xie Yunzheng's backyard.
"You know my preferences best. If you stay this time, the furnishings of my new house must be done according to my habits. There are also dowry and betrothal gifts. These matters are extremely important. I would not feel at ease if I leave them to others."
Jin Zhi originally wanted to go with them, but she was afraid that after being away for more than a month, the princess would get used to other people and there would no longer be a place for her by her side.
Now she heard about the furnishings of the new house and the wedding, she was overjoyed. This way she would have the opportunity to go to the Duke of Lu's Mansion. It didn't matter if she was a little more frequent. After all, our princess is delicate and cannot suffer any grievance.
"Yes, princess, I will definitely satisfy you."
"Well, Li Shuang just came to Beijing, so I can't take her with me. You should visit her more often when you have time. If she has anything she doesn't understand, you can give her some advice so that she won't be bullied by other young ladies."
"I understand. The princess seems to like Miss Li very much." Jin Zhi was overjoyed. She had more legitimate opportunities.
Chen Shurong lowered his eyes, as if whispering: "She has a good temper and is his cousin, so it should be so."
Jin Zhi understood that the princess was doing this for the sake of the prince. "Don't worry, I will protect her."
Chen Shurong curled his lips and went back to the Prince's Mansion. The Princess of the County was reluctant to leave her daughter and gave her many instructions.
"Mother has talked to her stepmother. Lord Liang's meaning is very simple. As long as she doesn't go back to the Liang family, anything is fine. He just wants to save some face for their family."
Chen Shurong sneered: "Then demote her to a lowly concubine, and then claim to be ill and stay at home, don't let her get too comfortable. If she can live to the future, let her see what she has lost."
The princess was wondering, doesn’t she have anything now? What will she do in the future?
But she agreed. She also thought so. If Liang dared to treat her son like this, she would not let him off easily.
Chen Shurong went to the palace again to see the emperor's uncle.
The emperor saw that she was in good spirits and was about to praise her, but Shen Shurong knelt down and kowtowed.
The emperor was stunned. "Hurry up and look at your forehead, silly boy. Why are you doing such a big ceremony?"
Chen Shurong felt dizzy, "Uncle Huang, Yongjia has something to ask for..."
When Li Chen learned that Princess Yongjia had entered the palace, he hurried over. The old woman didn't come, so how could she meet his father alone?
When they were halfway there, they were told that Princess Yongjia had already left and would only stay for a quarter of an hour.
He did not stop, Shen Shurong now had a treasury in his hands, he could not treat her as an ordinary sister.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Sister Yongjia is here, but your great aunt is not. Is there anything you can do for me, great aunt?"
"It's okay. Yongjia is going out for fun and will come to see me before leaving."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This girl is becoming more and more restless. She is about to get married, but she still goes out to play."
"She wants to go to the south before getting married."
Li Chen smiled and started talking about government affairs, but he felt something was not right. What was the point of going to the south to play at this time? Playing with floods and refugees?
When leaving, the emperor glanced at him. What Yongjia was going to do was a good thing, so why did he hide it even from the crown prince?
After Chen Shurong returned home, Ye Man and Qiao Yue came.
Ye Man's marriage has not been settled yet, and her family is still looking for someone. They are very cautious this time, as they don't want to meet a hypocritical person like Jia Caiyong again.
Seeing that Qiao Yue was in a bad mood, Shen Shurong smiled and rubbed her hair: “What’s wrong, who made our Xiao Qiao unhappy?”
Qiao Yue didn't want to bother the princess, but she still wanted to hear her thoughts, "That young scholar never came to me again."
Chen Shurong wondered, how could his rebirth not affect Qiao Yue's marriage?
She was the one who ruined Ye Man's marriage, but she didn't ruin Qiao Yue's. She was very optimistic about the young Jinshi and he doted on Qiao Yue very much.
"You should have told me earlier. It would have been inappropriate for you to ask. I could have checked it privately."
Qiao Yue waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes reddened: "It's okay, Princess, it's not like I can't get married. Without him, I can still..."
The little girl choked up and couldn't speak any more because of the grievance.
Ye Man took her hand and comforted her. The marriages of the three of them were full of twists and turns.
Chen Shurong put his arm around her shoulders. Qiao Yue was lively and careless, while the young scholar was gentle and handsome, and considerate in every way. The two complemented each other and were a good match.
"Don't cry, leave it to me. If he encounters any problems, I will help him."
Qiao Yue nestled in her shoulder and nodded while crying.
"But you have to promise me that if he has someone else in his heart, you will withdraw your thoughts and not seek death for him."
"Yes, Xiao Qiao, Jia Caiyong treated me like that, but I survived. It's nothing."
"Well, don't worry, I won't commit suicide for a man. I will lose a lot of delicious food."
Phew~ The two were amused. What he said was right. Eating is the most important thing.
…
Outside the gate of Duke Lu's Mansion, Lu Ziqian and Gu Kaizhi met face to face.
"Why are you here?" Lu Ziqian looked dissatisfied.
Xie Yunzhao did not doubt him about the polo match, he was just angry that he did not arrange it well and hurt the princess. He finally caught Xie Yunzhao not accompanying Princess Yongjia, and he could use that to build up relations, so how could he let this idiot disturb him?
"Why can't I come?"
Lu Ziqian sneered: "Xie Er doesn't want to take you, do I need to tell him?"
Gu Kaizhi stiffened his neck and said, "He hasn't played with you recently. Besides, I came to see his injury," but he didn't have enough confidence to speak.
Lu Ziqian grinned, his sarcasm obvious. The fool had no idea what kind of magic potion Xie Yunzhao had given him, and he came over even though he ignored him, enjoying it.
Even though Xie Yunzhao clearly told him that he would not play with him, he just stayed aside and watched and refused to leave.
Just wait and see if he hits a wall. He may not even be invited in.
The two were welcomed by the doorman into the front hall to wait, and a servant went to report to Xie Yunzhao.
