Jingrou thought of Yinreng.
I don't know how he is now. Anyway, I haven't heard from him at all. I just hope he's doing well!
"Grandmother, does the Emperor really intend to deal with the aristocratic families?" Jingrou asked softly.
The way she was addressed when she was young has never been changed. She tried to change it once, but her grandfather was all angry and said that "Jingrou has become estranged from him." That left Jingrou helpless, and she never mentioned it again.
Jingrou was worried.
In that case, what Yinreng said actually hit the Emperor's mind exactly, and the Emperor was going along with it and that's why he was going to do that... But whether the Emperor had such thoughts and whether the ministers thought the same way are completely unrelated. Many ministers probably wouldn't want to see this situation.
In that case, many people might not dare to direct their anger at the emperor.
But surely some people will want to target Yinreng, after all, he's only a teenager, and many people will inevitably look down on him... Jingrou thought worriedly. Even the Crown Prince, who was already very capable and thorough in his work in her eyes and in the eyes of those ministers, was probably still a child, so he might be looked down upon...
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Who can guarantee that someone won't become desperate and try something against him?
Prince An frowned, lowered his head and exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling as if his own fresh and tender cabbage had been eaten by someone else's pig.
Why would Zhuzhu have nothing better to do than worry about the Crown Prince? As soon as Prince An heard Zhuzhu say that, he knew who she was worried about!
Especially over the past year, this feeling has become stronger and stronger. What's going on with the Emperor's Crown Prince? Why is he getting so close to his Zhuzhu every day?
Doesn't he have a younger sister? Why would he randomly claim one as a sister outside? Prince An was already somewhat unhappy when he heard Jingrou address him that way, but Princess An managed to calm him down.
But later he became more and more dissatisfied and regretted that he had indulged the matter, which allowed the little brat to go further and further!
"I don't know, but given the Emperor's abilities, he can definitely protect whoever he wants, so you don't need to worry," Prince An said sourly. Anyway, it's just pointless worrying!
Since the Crown Prince brought this up, he must be completely confident.
In other words, if she didn't even consider that Jingrou would worry about her, then this man isn't worth it. She might as well find a better one for Zhuzhu herself!
There are so many promising young men in the capital, I must choose one that Zhuzhu likes and is also willing to be with her!
Prince An was very satisfied with Crown Prince Yinreng in the past, after all, he met Prince An's standards!
He felt that the Crown Prince was a man of great potential, and that he was usually gentle and considerate in his dealings with others. In fact, Prince An sometimes thought that he was even better than that ungrateful Emperor Kangxi!
Most of the officials in the court held a very high opinion of the crown prince!
He entered politics at a young age and did several noteworthy things, though he was inevitably impetuous.
So even though some people still say behind his back that he's young and impetuous, doesn't know how to restrain himself when he does things, or is too flamboyant, there are plenty of people who will nitpick. But if any family can have such a descendant, they should be burning incense in gratitude!
In reality, it's just sour grapes!
However, if this crown prince were to get involved with his own daughter, Zhuzhu, Prince An would definitely not think that way!
How could he equate the crown prince he had chosen with the husband of his beloved granddaughter? He even wished the two were completely unrelated!
You absolutely must not get involved with Zhuzhu. He can be the glorious crown prince or whatever, and he won't interfere with that. But if you get involved with Zhuzhu, things will be very different!
The Crown Prince was very respectful to him, always taking the initiative to greet him whenever they met, and was always polite, frequently showing him the respect due to a junior!
Although he appeared frightened, Prince An was quite pleased. Who wouldn't like such a polite junior? However, ever since he realized that the Crown Prince had developed feelings for his daughter, Zhuzhu, he had been in a terrible state of mind!
Pooh!
Wanting to be his granddaughter's husband? That brat's dream! He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Even if this toad has a very promising, noble, and good-looking background, it doesn't change the fact that he's a toad!
The moment Prince An hears this topic, he becomes like a powder keg, ready to attack at any moment!
Jingrou silently lowered her head and ate her food.
She seemed to sense that something was off about the atmosphere, especially since her uncle's expression was rather unpleasant... Her grandmother's expression was also a bit grave.
"Zhuzhu, will you come with me to visit Sister He Chong's house in a few days?" Auntie said, casually changing the subject and easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
“Okay,” Jingrou replied.
This time, I'm definitely going to arrange a marriage for my little cousin! Jingrou thought happily.
In recent years, several of her cousins have gotten married one after another, and now it's Baltu's turn. Thinking of Baltu, who was very reckless when he was young, he is getting married now, and Jingrou is filled with emotion.
When I was little, I would get upset and ignore her because I played with my other cousins instead of her!
But now he has grown into a very mature adult, and he has a girl he likes. This time, he is going to marry the girl he likes!
Jingrou was heartbroken. He Chong's name sounded somewhat like a boy's, and in fact, her elders in the family also held that expectation for her. The He family were Han Chinese, but they were considered one of the more prominent branches among the Han Chinese, and many of them were civil officials.
He Chong is their only daughter. The old man of the He family gave her such a name, which was originally just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
What followed was something they deeply regretted, simply because this girl had been unruly since childhood, liked to play with knives and guns, and was completely out of sync with the atmosphere of their family!
She shouldn't have been given such a name; she should have been given a more gentle one! She's completely out of place among her soft-spoken cousins!
Madam He was very worried about what kind of family this young girl would marry into. However, when she was young, she met Baltu at a horse race and they gradually became acquainted. It wasn't until two years ago, after He Chong came of age, that Baltu couldn't wait any longer and asked his mother to go and propose marriage!
They could be considered childhood sweethearts.
Jingrou has a good relationship with her, so she'll definitely be going to join in the fun this time.
