Chapter 1069: I will go to marry on behalf of the princess
Zhao Songlin almost cried.
You have to dismount as soon as the reins are pulled.
He must pick up the flowers thrown to him by the princess's benefactor no matter what!
However, before he could get off his horse, he saw a little girl bending down and quickly picking up a few flowers from the ground.
This included the flower thrown by Princess Linghua.
Then, the little girl took the flowers and chased after Su Laowu in front of her with excitement.
Zhao Songlin was stunned and opened his mouth...
That's mine!
The little girl's cheeks flushed as she caught up with Su Laowu and threw all the flowers at him...
Zhao Songlin: “…”
Su Wuhu! Even though you're the little genius doctor's brother, you'll still be my enemy from now on!
Zhao Songlin felt like crying but had no tears, and felt his heart was broken.
Princess Linghua had no idea that someone's heart was broken into pieces of glass because of a flower she had.
"Su Tang, what do you say about me marrying your fifth brother?" Princess Linghua looked at Tang Bao and said something shocking.
Tang Bao just picked up the pen and almost threw it away.
"Take out the word 'lower'!" Tang Bao simply put down her pen, took a sip of tea, calmed down her nerves, snorted, and said, "Could it be that you think my fifth brother is not worthy of you? You married down to marry into our family?"
"Isn't it?" Princess Linghua said with a confident expression, "I am the princess of the palace, the prince's daughter!"
"Your fifth brother doesn't have a title, so he can't compare to the children of aristocratic families. Even if he were the top scholar, he would only start as a seventh-rank official."
"If you don't want to be a county magistrate, the best you can do is join the Hanlin Academy and become an editor or something."
"My monthly salary isn't even enough to buy me a piece of clothing..."
"What's more, your family has no roots in the capital, and you can't even be considered a rising star..."
"Oh, by the way, your family was originally supposed to be a high-class family..."
Princess Linghua paused here, her expression a little subtle.
Then, he continued, "Both the Su family, a century-old family, and the Duke of Ying's Mansion were considered respectable families in the past, but now they have fallen on hard times and have been rejected by your family..."
Speaking of this, Princess Linghua had to sigh again that the Su family was truly an amazing family.
Tang Bao put down the teacup.
"So, you think that if you marry my fifth brother, our family will be marrying above their station?" Tang Bao interrupted Princess Linghua and said, "Then if I make friends with you, am I also marrying above my station? If that's the case, why don't we..."
"Stop!"
Princess Linghua suddenly realized that she had touched Tang Bao's bottom line and hurried to remedy the situation.
"Hehe, Su Tang, I just said it casually."
"Look, I'm the woman, so I should be more reserved, right?"
"How about it? I'll be your sister-in-law, and we'll definitely get along harmoniously..."
Princess Linghua looked at Tang Bao with a flattering expression.
She didn't dare to offend Tang Bao.
After all, whether or not their Cheng'en Palace can have an heir depends entirely on Tang Bao's medical skills.
Tang Bao glanced at Princess Linghua and refused directly.
"Not so good! My fifth brother is not worthy of everyone!" Tang Bao said arrogantly: "Although you are a princess, your status is also acceptable, but -"
Tang Bao shook her head.
Still not worthy!
Princess Linghua suddenly became furious.
"Could it be that I, the dignified Princess Linghua of the Cheng'en Palace, am not worthy of your fifth brother?" Princess Linghua cried out in dissatisfaction, "Then who is worthy? The princess?"
Tang Bao looked at Princess Linghua without saying a word.
Princess Linghua: "...No way? Your fifth brother wants to marry the princess?"
Tang Bao: “…”
He picked up the teacup and took another sip.
Princess Linghua was shocked.
Looking at Tang Bao, he opened his mouth.
"No, Su Tang, you are not serious, are you?" Princess Linghua asked in surprise.
Tang Bao calmly asked back: "Don't you think that in the storybooks from ancient times to the present, the newly crowned top scholar and the princess are always a match made in heaven?"
Princess Linghua thought about it and it seemed... not right!
"What do you mean by a match made in heaven? It's not at all!" Princess Linghua retorted, "I remember in many storybooks, the newly crowned top scholar would secretly abandon his wife and children in order to marry a royal princess, and then be despised by everyone for eternity..."
Princess Linghua looked at Tangbao, put down her teacup, and quickly raised her hands in surrender.
"Well, your fifth brother is indeed unmarried, but the second and third princesses are already married. The remaining fourth, fifth, and sixth princesses are still young. Even if your fifth brother wants to marry, there is no suitable one."
"Besides, how can it be so easy to marry a princess from the royal family?"
"Even if your family is currently prosperous, the Emperor would not marry his daughter, who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, to an old man like your fifth brother..."
"My fifth brother is not an old man!" Tang Bao immediately defended her fifth brother: "My fifth brother is mature and steady, young and promising!"
"Okay, okay! Even so, the Emperor won't..."
Princess Linghua suddenly stopped and looked at Tangbao as if she had come to her senses.
"You're not talking about the eldest princess, are you?!"
Princess Linghua was even more shocked and could hardly close her mouth.
The eldest princess is going to marry a foreign prince!
The prince of Western Qin has come to the capital!
Shi Liu glanced at Princess Linghua and silently poured her a cup of tea to calm her down.
It seems that my young lady wants to tell Princess Linghua about this matter.
There must be a reason for what the lady does!
Who knows, the Fifth Young Master and the Princess' affairs might require the help of Princess Linghua...
Shi Liu guessed in his heart, and then decided to be nicer to Princess Linghua.
"Princess, please have some tea."
Shi Liu smiled and handed the teacup to Princess Linghua attentively.
This princess is probably related to whether the fifth young master can get married as he wishes...
Shi Liu's eyes began to light up as she looked at Princess Linghua.
Princess Linghua subconsciously took a sip of tea.
"Princess, have another fruit!"
Shi Liu took the teacup from Princess Linghua and stuffed a red sand apple into her hand.
Princess Linghua looked at Tangbao and subconsciously brought the sand apple to her mouth.
Just as he was about to take a bite, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Snap!"
Slap the fruit on the table.
"Tell me! Su Tang, do you want me to marry the Crown Prince of Xi Qin in place of the eldest princess?!"
Tang Bao: “…”
He looked at Princess Linghua with surprise.
She didn't expect that Princess Linghua would think this way.
Princess Linghua saw that Tang Bao didn't say anything and thought she had guessed right.
"Su Tang, you're too partial. I want to be your sister-in-law, but you despise me so much and just want me to marry far away." Princess Linghua pursed her lips and complained aggrievedly, "Even though I said that I would be willing to serve anyone who could add a young prince to our palace, we have such a good relationship, how could you be so heartless?"
The corners of Tang Bao's mouth twitched and she patted Princess Linghua's shoulder.
"You think too much." Tang Bao said earnestly, "Besides, what you said at the beginning was that if there really was a famous doctor who would let your palace have a young prince, you would be happy to do it even if it meant kowtow to him three times and work like a slave for the rest of your life!"
"Yes, yes, and three more kowtows!"
Shi Liu quickly raised three fingers to emphasize.
Princess Linghua: "..."
Princess Linghua looked at Shiliu and then at Tangbao.
An expression of fearlessness of facing death slowly appeared on his face.
"Okay! As long as you can let Concubine Liu give birth to a son, I will replace the eldest princess and marry to Xi Qin as a peace agreement!" Princess Linghua slammed the table and said loudly.
As for the three kowtows, don’t mention it, she forgot about it!
