1203 Backyard, Who Will the Wang Family Daughter Marry?
Feng Qingchen would certainly not accept Wang Jinling's proposal.
She was not good at business, and the Feng family was not short of money. The money earned from the cooperation with the Yun family was enough for three generations of the Feng family. She said that she made wine and sold it for money, but it was just something she said casually because she was in the mood.
The two soon talked about other things. Seeing Feng Qingchen staying at home all day and rarely interacting with the women of the various mansions, Wang Jinling thought of his sister who would invite unmarried women from various mansions to a gathering in the name of flower viewing before her wedding in a few days, so he opened his mouth to invite: "If Qingchen is not busy, could you please come and join us? My sister has admired Qingchen for a long time."
"This... I'm afraid it's not possible. Noble Consort Xie and I have agreed that the little prince will be treated in a few days. I have been busy guiding Sixing during this period." She was almost out of touch with the noble ladies in the capital. She knew that Wang Jinling meant well, but the timing was really unfortunate.
"It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just to guide Sixing? What? You want Sixing to heal the little prince?" Wang Jinling was quite puzzled. Why would Imperial Concubine Xie agree?
Feng Qingchen moved his wrist: "My hand is a little injured, I can't hold the knife for the time being."
Although Chi Lianshui's hands recovered about 70% after using acupuncture and medicinal baths to treat her, she could not be physically restrained for a short period of time.
"Were you injured that time?" Wang Jinling frowned slightly. Feng Qingchen didn't want to lie to Wang Jinling again, but it was difficult to explain, so he could only respond vaguely.
Wang Jinling put away his smile and said sternly: "Qingchen, I will definitely find out who ambushed and killed you." I will avenge you.
Feng Qingchen didn't know what to say now. After telling a lie, he would have to cover it up with countless lies. Feng Qingchen was in this state at the moment.
She couldn't persuade Wang Jinling, and could only say that her hands would recover soon and there was nothing serious. Only then did Wang Jinling's face improve.
Feng Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was really terrible that the eldest young master would turn against him.
Feng Qingchen was afraid that Wang Jinling would continue to worry about her hand injury, so she quickly brought up the Wang and Cui families' marriage and asked what the wedding was about.
"The wedding date is set for next year. The Cui family is in chaos, and if you want to marry my sister, Wang Jinling, you have to show some ability." Wang Jinling was dissatisfied with this marriage in the first place, and of course he would not agree to let his sister get married hastily.
Feng Qingchen quite agreed: "Marriage is a lifelong event for a woman, and it really cannot be taken lightly." In this age where divorce is not allowed, a woman can only marry once in her life.
"Qingchen is right. A woman's marriage must be cautious. It concerns her entire life." When Wang Jinling said this, he looked at Feng Qingchen deeply.
Although he knew that Feng Qingchen did not take marriage seriously, he still could not help but remind Feng Qingchen that if possible, he should let the Ninth Prince marry her quickly.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't say them.
Wang Jinling sighed slightly, and then told the story of how the emperor forced the daughter of the Wang family to enter Prince Chun's mansion as a concubine.
Feng Qingchen is not the Ninth Prince, so there is no need for him to beat around the bush with Feng Qingchen. It is best to be direct.
"Take Prince Chun's wife as a concubine? Didn't the emperor appoint two concubines and four concubines to Prince Chun? Now the emperor wants your family to send a girl in. Isn't the emperor afraid that something might happen in the backyard of Prince Chun's mansion?" Feng Qingchen really couldn't understand what the emperor was trying to do.
This is not the way to pamper Prince Chun. After Prince Chun married Princess Yaohua, the emperor assigned him a bunch of concubines of noble status. Now he wants to marry a girl from the Wang family into Prince Chun's mansion. Does the emperor think the backyard of Prince Chun's mansion is not chaotic enough?
"Your Majesty is trying to punish my Wang family. The backyard of Prince Chun's mansion is very
It's so lively. The concubines get pregnant and then lose their babies, and then get pregnant again. There is no rules. The mistress is not like a mistress, and the concubines are not like concubines."
It was always awkward for a grown man to mention other people's backyard affairs, and Wang Jinling was no exception. If it wasn't for the reputation of the Wang family, he wouldn't want to bother with these messy matters.
Prince Chun was truly too well protected by the Emperor. He had been married for so long and had lost several children, but he was still as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. Wang Jinling didn't know what to say.
Feng Qingchen didn't know what to say. She was not in the mood to pay attention to what was happening in the backyard of Prince Chun's mansion. She was more concerned about Wang Jinling's purpose of coming.
"Don't you want the daughter of the Wang family to enter Prince Chun's mansion?" Any family that is a little responsible would not send their daughter to seek death.
"Yes, not to mention that girls from the Wang family cannot be concubines, even if they are to be concubines, they cannot be sent to Prince Chun's mansion. A place like that... it's not easy to survive." Wang Jinling didn't want the girl from the Wang family to fight with a group of women all day long and ask him to intervene every few days.
He's not good at handling things in the backyard.
"But the emperor has said that your Wang family must marry a woman into the royal family." Feng Qingchen looked worried.
"I know this. The marriage between the Wang family and the Cui family has angered the emperor, so the Wang family has to make sacrifices. It's okay to send a girl from the Wang family to the royal family. There are still several unmarried princes in the royal family. She can marry any one of them, as long as he is not Prince Chun." Wang Jinling came to find Feng Qingchen. He did not have the intention of using Feng Qingchen. He just didn't want to bargain with the Ninth Uncle.
The Ninth Prince was too treacherous, and he didn't want to be slaughtered by the Ninth Prince.
"It's all fine as long as you agree to the marriage. I'll ask the Ninth Uncle later and give you a reply." Feng Qingchen agreed to this, but did not give Wang Jinling a definite answer.
This made Wang Jinling satisfied. With the Ninth Prince's intervention, the girls in their Wang family could only marry the Crown Prince or the Prince of Qing. Even if other princes wanted to marry them, the Ninth Prince would not agree.
Wang Jinling had completed visiting Feng Qingchen, chatting and doing business. When he was about to get up and say goodbye, he heard a noise outside the door.
Wang Jinling looked up and saw Sun Sixing, dressed in a blue robe and covered in blood, staggering towards the flower hall. Behind him was a group of servants, who stared at Sun Sixing cautiously. When they saw that Sun Sixing was about to fall, they stepped forward to support him, but were pushed away by Sun Sixing.
"Sixing, what's wrong with you?" Feng Qingchen was shocked and immediately rushed to Sun Sixing, pulling Sun Sixing up and down to look him up.
Wang Jinling was a step slower than Feng Qingchen and asked seriously, "What happened?"
Sun Sixing was in a daze, his eyes were lifeless, and only when he saw Feng Qingchen did his eyes move a little, and tears fell as he blinked his eyelids. He choked and said, "Master, I..."
With a thud, Sun Sixing fell to the ground. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen was quick to catch him: "Sixing..."
"Young Master Sun." The servants hurried forward and carried Sun Sixing into the house. Wang Jinling couldn't leave at this time, so he stood aside and looked at Feng Qingchen worriedly.
He was very clear about how much Feng Qingchen cared about Sun Sixing. If something happened to Sun Sixing, Feng Qingchen might fight with someone.
After a moment of panic, Feng Qingchen immediately calmed down and began to check Sun Sixing's physical condition.
"There is no external injury. He fainted due to excessive sadness." Feng Qingchen turned to look at the servant who was chasing Sun Sixing and asked, "What happened to Master Sixing?"
How could a good person be so sad? Sixing was not the kind of person who would be sad about the passing of time.
