Chapter 1269: If these two people fall into the water
Princess Linghua ran over, grabbed the fish with both hands and put it into the wooden barrel.
"It doesn't matter if I can't catch any fish, as long as you can." Princess Linghua said gloatingly, "We'll give all these fish to Xuanyuan Min later. Let's take them back home and eat them slowly. Who knows, we can catch them a few more times..."
Behind a rockery not far away, Xuanyuan Min happened to hear what Princess Linghua said, and his face immediately turned ashen with anger.
She was so embarrassed today!
Not only that, my throat and back are burning now.
She strongly suspected that Tang Bao's slap on her back was intentional!
Moreover, all the female relatives who came to attend the birthday party looked at her with obvious strangeness in their eyes.
This was simply unbearable for her!
All of this was caused by these two people!
Xuanyuan Min hated Tang Bao and Princess Linghua to death!
"Be careful!" Tang Bao saw Princess Linghua slipping in excitement and said quickly, "The water is deep here, don't slip into the lake."
"It's okay." Princess Linghua said nonchalantly, "With you here, even if I slip in, I'll definitely be able to turn danger into safety!"
Tang Bao: “…”
After thinking about my own swimming ability, I felt that it made sense.
Xuanyuan Min's heart moved.
If these two people fell into the water and drowned...
Once this thought arises, it is no longer possible to suppress it.
Xuanyuan Min's heart couldn't help but start beating wildly.
It is said that the Queen Mother did not leave after dinner, so naturally all the female relatives who came to the banquet did not dare to say goodbye and leave.
Some sat in front of the stage to listen to the opera, some gathered in groups of three or four to admire the flowers and chat, and some recited poems and composed essays to show off their talents...
As for the elderly ladies, they were taken to the guest rooms by the maids of Prince Ning's Mansion to rest.
As a result, the entire backyard of Prince Ning's Mansion was quite lively.
Old Mrs. Su was enthusiastically surrounded by a group of officials' wives, drinking tea, chatting, and praising each other's younger generations.
Naturally, the marriages of Da Pan, Er Pan, and the young scholar Su Chengyao are hot topics among people.
However, families with daughters of marriageable age who want to marry into the Su family are quite reserved.
In short, I didn't feel comfortable being too blunt, for fear of appearing unreserved and being looked down upon.
However, they all called their daughters over to pay their respects to Old Madam Su.
Old Mrs. Su also looked carefully at the appearance of these girls and asked a few questions in a friendly and warm manner.
Many things are known to everyone, so there is no need to point them out.
Even Prime Minister Zheng's wife called Zheng Suxin over and paid her respects to Old Madam Su.
"Suxin greets Aunt Su." Zheng Suxin bowed gracefully.
Old Madam Su took Zheng Suxin's hand and said with a smile, "This child is obviously a well-educated, virtuous and kind girl. Madam Zheng is so lucky."
Madam Zheng was delighted and said, "If we talk about luck, there's no one more blessed than Madam Su. Princess Fude is so smart and clever at such a young age, and she has an exquisite appearance. I'm afraid there's no lady in the entire capital who doesn't envy Madam Su..."
As soon as Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, she immediately received a round of agreement.
"That's right, Princess Fude is incredibly intelligent and beautiful. Only someone as fortunate as Madam Su could give birth to such a blessed daughter..."
"That's right... Madam Su has many children and grandchildren, all of whom are outstanding..."
A group of ladies praised Old Lady Su endlessly.
Although there was a hint of sourness in his tone, he was sincere.
There's no way they can help it, they are indeed envious.
However, the look he gave Zheng Suxin was somewhat complicated.
It has to be said that since Xuanyuan Jin returned to the palace, many families have had certain ideas.
As a result, Zheng Suxin's occasional stay in the palace under the pretext of visiting the imperial concubine had already caused a lot of speculation.
Now, Mrs. Zheng specially called her daughter over to meet Old Madam Su, and they couldn't help but think too much.
Could it be that... the Zheng family gave up on the third prince and chose the Su family instead?
Although the Su family is good, the most promising fifth son of the Su family has already married a princess.
As for these grandchildren, that is, the eldest grandsons of the eldest house, they can barely match the legitimate daughters of the Zheng family.
The ladies pondered in their hearts.
In fact, Mrs. Zheng also made preparations for both scenarios.
It’s not entirely true to say that she has completely given up on marrying her daughter to Xuanyuan Jin.
Anyway, it is impossible for the third prince to have only one woman. One day, the emperor will issue an edict to appoint a crown prince.
By then, in addition to the Crown Princess, there will also be Consort Liang and others in the Eastern Palace.
Even if my daughter cannot become the Crown Princess, with the status and position of the Zheng family, it will be no problem for her to be a concubine.
In this way, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, my daughter can at least get the position of one of the four concubines.
Although my sister-in-law is not the queen, she still controls the six palaces and is still very powerful, isn't she?
Mrs. Zheng had a good plan. It would be best if her daughter could marry the crown prince.
If not, then introduce your daughter to Old Lady Su first and establish a good relationship with the Su family.
The Su family is currently in its heyday, so marrying my daughter into the Su family wouldn't be too unfair to her.
Old Mrs. Su wanted to show her grandchildren around, and she was able to deal with these ladies with ease.
At this moment, seeing Zheng Suxin's calm and generous look, I was really happy.
The eldest daughter of the Zheng family was very well-mannered and composed, and she must have been carefully educated since childhood.
Being a clan wife would be the perfect choice.
Old Mrs. Su took off an emerald bracelet from her hand and put it directly on Zheng Suxin's wrist.
"This is our first meeting, and your aunt didn't prepare any gifts. You can just wear this bracelet for fun." Old Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Zheng Suxin quickly declined, "Aunt, I can't do that. It's too expensive..."
As he said this, he was about to take off the bracelet.
Old Madam Su stopped Zheng Suxin and said, "A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Please accept it."
Zheng Suxin looked at Madam Zheng in embarrassment.
Mrs. Zheng nodded.
Zheng Suxin hurriedly thanked him again.
"Su Xin thanks Aunt Su."
Zheng Suxin's voice is clear and crisp, like the chirping of an oriole.
Old Mrs. Su had no idea that Zheng Suxin had secretly clashed with her precious daughter several times.
It’s just that Zheng Suxin has never had the upper hand.
Xuanyuan Min saw from afar that so many girls were called over by their elders to pay their respects to Old Madam Su, and she was so angry that her heart ached.
She is not a fool. How could she not see what those people's intentions are?
Everyone knows that as long as the third prince inherits the throne in the future, the descendants of the Su family will definitely become the new emperor's most trusted ministers.
Not to mention that the Third Prince treats the little girl of the Su family like a treasure, wishing to hold her in the palm of his hand, even the grandsons of the Su family are classmates with the Third Prince.
The third prince met the Su family when he was down and out.
The affection accumulated over the years is unmatched by anyone in the world!
