1090 The reputation is too flattering for her

"Miss, you are really smart. People in the imperial city are all talking about Miss Chu. Those small casinos are all betting on who can win the heart of the beauty." Tong Jue's face was like a silver plate, and he smiled so hard that his eyes were wide open.

The matter of Chu Changhua could be said to be pushed forward by her and Tong Yao. At the beginning, they had never thought that it would have such a good effect.

They just let people talk about the benefits of marrying Chu Changhua in the market and teahouses, and then let the spies buried in various mansions find ways to get close to the young masters in the family and inadvertently spread the rumors on the street.

At first I thought only a few would take the bait, but when the dukes and marquises heard about this, they were like cats smelling blood. No matter if there was hope or not, they all wanted to give it a try, for fear of missing out on this great opportunity.

"Wealth and honor are fascinating. Most of those noble families are empty shells. With a treasure like Chu Changhua in front of them, how could they not be tempted?"

In the imperial city, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of Chu Changhua, but due to the rumors about the Ninth Prince and Chu Changhua, no one dared to be the first to take action.

The Ninth Prince brought Chu Changhua's three determined suitors here, and with Feng Qingchen's momentum, how could those interested people hold back...

Not to mention the declining noble families, even the queen was tempted.

Although the Emperor had always hoped that the Ninth Prince would marry Chu Changhua and then go to Chu City with Chu Changhua, the Empress began to make her own plans after seeing the recent rumors and thinking about the health condition of the City Lord Chu.

"Luo'er, what do you think of Chu Changhua?"

"Mother, do you want your son to marry into your family?" Dong Ling Zi Luo said indifferently. He had no good feelings towards Chu Changhua at all.

"Of course not, Luo'er, why do you think so? In the future you will..." The queen pointed upwards, meaning the person who was going to sit in that position.

"How could the Queen Mother allow you to marry into the family?"

"My queen mother has never thought of letting me marry into your family, so let's not mention it." Dong Ling Zi Luo said impatiently.

After much difficulty, he took advantage of Chu Changhua's arrival to create the impression that the Ninth Prince had abandoned Feng Qingchen. He wanted to force the two of them to fall out, but it looked like they had a falling out. However, the two did not attack each other. Instead, they secretly teamed up to help Chu Changhua. Dong Ling Ziluo was dissatisfied no matter how he thought about it.

"Why can't we mention it, Luo'er? If the Ninth Prince marries Chu Changhua, he will definitely marry into the family, but you are different. You are the prince of Dongling. If you marry Chu Changhua, then Chu City will of course be incorporated into Dongling." The Queen looked calculating. Dongling Zi Luo felt that there was some truth in what she said, but he still said, "Impossible. If Chu City could be incorporated into Dongling, my father would have done it long ago. How could it be your turn?"

"Luo'er, your mother says you are stupid and you are really stupid. Whether Chu City should be incorporated into Dongling depends on the words of Chu City Lord and Chu Changhua. If you can win the heart of Chu Changhua and make her agree to incorporate Chu City into Dongling, then it is just a matter of one word." The queen believed that when a woman gets married, she will definitely side with her man.

"How is that possible? Chu Changhua would never do that. She has many candidates. Mother, you should know that there are many men who want to marry Chu Changhua. I heard that Prince Tianyu of Xiling and Prince Jinxing of Nanling are also interested in marrying Chu Changhua." By marrying Chu Changhua, not only will he get Chu City, but also Chu City's 200,000 soldiers and horses. This deal is extremely cost-effective. Only a fool would not want it.

When Xiling Tianlei traveled around to select concubines, he also mentioned to City Lord Chu about marrying Chu Changhua as a concubine, but City Lord Chu did not agree.

"Xiling Tianyu and Nanling Jinxing, why are they joining in the fun? Even if Chu Changhua wants to choose a husband, she will choose someone from Dongling. What does it have to do with them?" The emperor became unhappy when he heard this.

She finally saw someone she could win over, and if that person was snatched away, she would be really depressed.

"Mother, Chu Changhua came to the Dongling Imperial City at the invitation of my father. It didn't mean that she must choose a husband in Dongling. Mother, you should understand that before the city lord Chu dies and Changhua gets married, all countries will treat her with courtesy." Otherwise, she will not be able to win over others, but will be pushed to the enemy. Of course, if Chu Changhua gets married, then other people will regard Chu City as an enemy.

"What should we do? Watching her marry someone else, what if she marries Prince Zhou?" When the Queen thought of this possibility, her face suddenly changed and she shook her head and said, "No, no, Luo'er, you can't just sit there and wait for death. You must do something. Otherwise, if your brothers marry Chu Changhua, it will be disadvantageous to us."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do." Dong Ling responded after a moment of silence. Then, among the young masters pursuing Chu Changhua, there appeared another very influential competitor: His Royal Highness Prince Luo.

"Qingchen, you can actually persuade Prince Luo to pursue Chu Changhua, that's amazing." Zhai Dongming exclaimed in amazement.

Today is Zhai Dongming's day off. He took Wang Jinling to reserve a table at Zhufeng Tower and called Feng Qingchen out for dinner, under the pretext of saying thank you.

"How is that possible? I wish I had that ability." Feng Qingchen denied it immediately, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Zhai Dongming didn't notice and just kept expressing his feelings, saying that King Luo was stupid, stupid...

Wang Jinling did not miss the subtle changes on Feng Qingchen's face, and chuckled, "You must have found someone to persuade the Queen." It would be too easy to be exposed if he went straight to tell Dong Ling Ziluo.

Feng Qingchen nodded with a smile: "I asked someone to explain the pros and cons of marrying Chu Changhua to the queen, and let her imagine that if Chu Changhua fell in love with Dong Ling Ziluo, she would offer Chu City to Dong Ling Ziluo with both hands. On the contrary, if Chu Changhua married King Zhou, then King Zhou would be the one who benefited."

"The Queen actually believed it?" Zhai Dongming asked in surprise.

If Chu City is so easy to take, then what is the point of these military commanders? They can just marry the other party's daughter.

"Why don't you believe it?" Feng Qingchen asked back: "Do you remember what Chu Changhua said last year? She said that she loved the Ninth Uncle and was willing to marry Chu Cheng to the Ninth Uncle. Isn't that offering Chu Cheng to him with both hands? Chu Changhua can offer Chu Cheng to the Ninth Uncle, so why can't she offer it to Dongling Ziluo? In the eyes of the Queen, Prince Luo is a hundred times better than the Ninth Uncle."

In the Queen's mind, as long as Prince Luo beckoned his finger, Chu Changhua would pounce on him.

"Uh..." Zhai Dongming almost choked on the peanuts. He swallowed them with great difficulty and said loudly without caring about breathing. "Impossible, it's impossible anyway. How can Chu Changhua be so easy to marry?"

Although he didn't know why it was impossible, Zhai Dongming just felt that Chu Cheng was not so easy to get.

"It's impossible, but the Queen and Prince Luo won't let go of any possibility. You know, Prince Luo won't lose anything if he pursues Chu Changhua. Prince Luo is of noble status. Even if people know that he is going for Chu Cheng, no one will say that he is attracted to Chu Cheng. They will only say that he is a playboy." Wang Jinling could understand Prince Luo's thoughts. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything by giving it a try. Once successful, he could take Chu Cheng without bloodshed. Why not do it...

"Jin Ling is right." Feng Qingchen echoed, "Not only King Luo, but also King Zhou, and even the princes of Beiling and Nanling will not miss this opportunity. It's an opportunity anyway, they just need to move their lips and ask for marriage. Besides, when the four countries join forces, Chu Changhua will definitely choose one of them to marry."
