"Mrs. Su, the children are not young anymore. I think that some things should be chosen when the time comes. If you keep hesitating, you will lose a lot of things."
Su's mother knew that her daughter was indeed old and could not wait any longer. It was time to make a choice, but they really hadn't made up their mind yet.
The virtuous princess continued, "Our virtuous palace is different from others. Madam Su must know my Rui'er's temperament. He is gentle and considerate. He is not bad in character or appearance. The emperor treats him like his own brother and takes good care of him. There are many noble ladies from Nanyang who want to marry my virtuous palace, but we haven't asked for any of them in all these years, which is enough to show our sincerity. If we wait any longer, not to mention Qingyue's age, my Rui'er, as a man, can't wait at this age. If he were to be like other families, I'm afraid I would have a grandson in my arms by now."
Mother Su understood what Princess Xian meant, but even though she understood, it was still difficult to make a choice!
But at the same time, Su's mother also understood that this choice could no longer be delayed and had to be made.
She said to Princess Xian: "I understand what you mean, Princess. Don't worry, we will give you an answer in a month at most. It has indeed delayed my Yue'er, and we don't want this to happen."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xian was relieved. This marriage was finally going to have a result. It had been delayed for so many years, and it was indeed enough.
"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Madam Su."
"By the way, if you really recognize your daughter, I suggest that Madam Su consider sending her younger daughter to the palace. Who knows, the Su family might be able to produce two queens. By then, it will be easier to get things done with the help of the sisters."
When Su's mother heard this, she was shocked. Send that child into the palace? Their family couldn't even think about it.
However, facing the virtuous princess, Su's mother could only smile and fool her, "At this moment, the word has not even been written, what are you saying, princess?"
Princess Xian smiled, looked deeply at Su's mother, and then walked out.
Su's mother could only calm herself down and hurried to see her off.
After seeing off Princess Xian, Su's mother came back and saw Su Qingyue standing at the door.
When Su's mother saw her, she frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Qingyue asked, "Mother, did my sister really die?"
Mother Su's face turned cold and she scolded, "Qingyue, these things are not your business. Just wait patiently. This month at most, whether you marry into the Xianwang Mansion or the Anwang Mansion, there must be a result. This marriage can't be delayed any longer."
Su Qingyue said calmly, "Mother, I just want to figure out what happened to my sister. I want to know what happened back then?"
Mother Su became even angrier, frowning tightly, "Qingyue, have you also learned to be so disobedient?"
Su Qingyue said stubbornly: "Mother, I just want to know about my sister. Why don't you listen to me? What are you and mother hiding from me? Why don't you show any happiness every time you talk about my sister and say that she is still alive?"
Mother Su was so angry that she wanted to die, but she didn't dare to show that she was too angry. She suppressed her anger and said, "We just don't believe that your sister is still alive. If she is really still alive, we will naturally bring her back. Yue'er, can you stop interfering in this matter? Just prepare for your marriage."
After saying this, Su's mother left directly. She didn't want to talk to Su Qingyue anymore as she was afraid that the more she said the more mistakes she would make.
Su Qingyue watched her mother's hurriedly leaving back, and thought of the Xianwang Mansion and the Anwang Mansion eyeing her covetously, and felt tired in her heart. She could find a way to get rid of the engagement between the Xianwang Mansion and the Anwang Mansion, but she couldn't get rid of her mother.
Su Qingyue sighed, and then returned to her own yard.
Zi Luo was practicing sword in the yard, while Yu Zhu was applying medicine to Yu Ling and the others.
Su Qingyue sat on the stone bench in the yard with a worried look on her face.
Zi Luo saw her like this, stopped practicing sword, and asked with concern: "Miss, is there anything wrong? Why do you look so worried? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Su Qingyue glanced at Ziluo, sighed helplessly, and told her about her troubles.
Zi Luo thought for a moment and said, "Miss, why don't I take you away? Forget about these things. Running away is not a big deal."
Su Qingyue shook her head. "The emperor has no heir. The one who ascends the throne in the future will definitely be the sons of the Xianwang Mansion and the Anwang Mansion. If I escape, no matter which of the two families ascends the throne in the future, they will not let the Su family go. At that time, the lives of the whole family will end because of this."
Zi Luo said, "Miss Ke, if you make the wrong choice, the Su family will probably die in the future."
Su Qingyue naturally knew that sometimes she really hated it. Why was she given such a fate? Was she really destined to be a queen? Who would really ascend to the throne by marrying her? Su Qingyue didn't believe it, but it seemed that everyone believed it except her.
"Miss, why don't you choose an ordinary person to marry? That way, neither of the two families will pay attention to you, and no one will get you. Then no one will hate you."
Zi Luo had another idea.
Su Qingyue smiled helplessly, "It's not that easy to find someone to marry. If I were just an ordinary person who couldn't resist the forces of the two royal palaces, I'm afraid I'd lose my life."
Zi Luo also sighed with her, and said helplessly: "Miss, why don't we choose! You can choose Prince An's Mansion or Prince Xian's Mansion, and you will be the leader. Then we will work hard to support the palace and ascend to the throne. In the future, you will be the mother of the country. If you unfortunately lose, the worst that can happen is that you will die. Everyone has to die, there is no need to be afraid."
Looking at Zi Luo's idea so neat and tidy, Su Qingyue smiled helplessly. Didn't she have such an idea in her previous life? So even if she couldn't marry the prince later, she still tried her best to help Nangong Mo and ascend to that high position. But after ascending the throne, what did she get?
Su Qingyue understood that power was only in her own hands, and she had the final say. Her husband, mother, even children, and closest relatives were all untrustworthy and would abandon her for their own interests.
It's a pity that those rights are not within her reach. No matter how hard she works, she is just making wedding dresses for others.
"Miss, is it possible that there is no family in the world more powerful than the Anwang Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion? Can't you find a bigger backer than these two?"
Su Qingyue said: "The only one with a bigger backer than them is His Majesty."
Zi Luo frowned, "It is said that the current emperor has no heirs, and the three thousand concubines are vacant. Even if you enter the palace, you can't rely on much. But even if it is so, if you have more power than the two royal palaces, they still can't do anything to you. In this case, your lifelong happiness will be gone."
Su Qingyue laughed at herself, "Lifelong happiness, what does lifelong happiness mean? Marrying a powerful family, having several children, and becoming a lady of a wealthy family, is that happiness? But I don't think those ladies of wealthy families are that happy. They are either busy managing the household affairs, managing illegitimate children, or training concubines in the backyard. I don't see many smiles on their faces. That's not happiness."
"Ziluo, I think happiness depends on controlling your own destiny. I want to control my own destiny. I don't want to be like a puppet like now, controlled by my mother at home and my husband's family, unable to make my own decisions for the rest of my life."
Zi Luo didn't know what to do, so she could only say, "Miss, no matter what you want to do, I will support you and stay with you. I can't share your worries, so I can only stay with you."
Su Qingyue smiled, "Okay, thank you, Ziluo."
"I have decided. I will take the imperial examination."
Su Qingyue suddenly said this.
Zi Luo looked at her in surprise, and then wondered if her young lady was too anxious and had hysteria?
Can women take part in the scientific examination?
No, it seemed that he had said that it was possible. Zi Luo vaguely remembered that many years ago, the emperor had issued an edict that both men and women could study, and those with outstanding abilities could take the imperial examinations without any difference from men.
