171 Deeply in love, love and marriage are two different things

"It's not good, but it's not something we need to worry about." Feng Qingchen took a sip of tea and wet his lips.

She didn't mean to distance herself from Wang Jinling by saying this, but Wang Jinling had already guessed what she was thinking, and she didn't want to act like a fool who would do anything for the Ninth Uncle.

In that case, she would not be Feng Qingchen.

"Trust the Ninth Uncle, he won't stay there for long." Wang Jinling has always been optimistic about the Ninth Uncle, and it is because he is too optimistic that he understands that the Ninth Uncle has the world in his heart, and it is very difficult to be a woman who can catch his eye.

"Indeed, that place is not suitable for the Ninth Uncle." A person like the Ninth Uncle should have a golden hall, jade horses, a high bed and soft pillows, which is worthy of his status.

Wang Jinling shook his head and chuckled. Qingchen was too biased. Is there anyone in this world who is suitable to stay in the prison? However, Wang Jinling did not intend to dwell on this. He changed the subject and asked directly, "Qingchen, do you think there is anything to be done about the wolf pack attacking Baicao Garden?"

Wang Jinling's question was very straightforward, and he believed Feng Qingchen would understand.

The emperor and the Xie family don't want the truth, but they can also make a big fuss about this matter.

This is a wrestling match, a wrestling match between the Emperor and the Ninth Prince, a wrestling match between the Xie family and the Wang family. They don't care what the truth is, as long as whoever has the upper hand reveals the truth.

Feng Qingchen raised her head, met Wang Jinling's reserved but sharp eyes, and asked in confusion: "Jinling, what do you want to do? And why did you want to help the Ninth Uncle?"

Shouldn't Wang Jinling just stay out of this matter at this time?

"I don't want to do anything, nor am I helping the Ninth Prince. I'm just considering the Wang family. If the Ninth Prince falls, the Emperor will have one less strong enemy, and he will have more time to attack our families, with the Wang family being the first to bear the brunt.

Who in Dongling is most afraid of the power of our noble families? It's the emperor. Who is most affected by the power of the noble families? It's also the emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that we were deeply rooted in the world and the emperor had to rely on us to get things done, according to the emperor's principles, he would have taken action against us long ago.

There is always a struggle between the noble families and the imperial power. This is a war without gunpowder. However, the Xie family just wants to rely on the emperor. Humph... If they become the emperor's pawns, are the noble families still noble families? And do you think the emperor really dares to use people from the noble families? No, he dares not use us. He is afraid that our power will be greater and affect his imperial power.

Concubine Xie has been in the palace for several years, why can't she have children for a long time? Is it really just a physical reason? Qingchen, you must not interfere in the matter of the Xie family. There are too many things in the harem. As long as Concubine Xie is pregnant, no matter what she is pregnant with, the child will be a son in the end, and the Xie family will definitely join forces with the aristocratic families to push this child to the throne. "

As soon as Second Madam Xie entered the Feng Mansion, Wang Jinling understood what the Xie family was planning. Unfortunately, Yuwen Yuanhua was one step faster than him and took Feng Qingchen away.

Wang Jinling leaned on the soft couch, with helplessness and fatigue in his eyes. The calm and leisurely feeling he had in the cabin was gone, and Feng Qingchen felt sad.

"Jinling, did I do something wrong? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in all this mess." If Wang Jinling's eyes are not cured, he will always be the eldest son who guards the wooden house and lives a pastoral life, instead of the eldest son who shoulders the rise and fall of the Wang family.

"Silly Qingchen, you think too much. This is my responsibility. I'm glad to have met you." There was a smile in her eyes as clear as glass, and in them was a deep affection that she herself had not even noticed.

Feng Qingchen didn't dare to look Wang Jinling in the eye, and avoided his gaze by drinking tea. Wang Jinling didn't care, and just continued:

"Qingchen, I was destined to be the eldest son of the Wang family when I was born. Even though I had an eye disease before, I received the education that a eldest son of the Wang family should have.

Because of my eye disease, my seventh brother took over for me for a period of time, but I can't abandon my responsibilities because of this. Qingchen, I have always known that you are a perceptive person, so you should understand that people like us, when we are born, enjoy the glory brought by the family, but also have to take our own responsibilities for the glory.

So, I can understand why you rejected me, because it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and it's even harder to be a daughter-in-law of the Tian family, especially since you were the fiancée of the Luo King before, and something like that happened during the wedding. Even if the Ninth Prince likes you, he won't marry you."

Wang Jinling sighed and finally said it out loud. He didn't have the habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs. This was contrary to his usual style.

He was just afraid that Feng Qingchen would get deeper and deeper into trouble. The fight between the princes had already surfaced, and Wang Jinling didn't want Feng Qingchen to be involved.

Besides, liking someone is one thing, but marriage is ultimately about matching the two families' social status. Although it is customary for a rich family to marry off a daughter, for Feng Qingchen, the ninth prince's family is too high.

Feng Qingchen thought she would be sad, but after hearing what Wang Jinling said, she realized that she thought the same way. She seemed to have never thought about marrying the Ninth Prince. She only wanted to like the Ninth Prince in her own way and make that man have her in his eyes.

Feng Qingchen smiled calmly and said, "Jin Ling, don't worry about me. I know what I am doing. I have never thought of marrying the Ninth Uncle."

"Then I feel relieved." Since Feng Qingchen didn't have this idea, he didn't worry that Feng Qingchen would not be able to extricate himself.

"Qingchen, I want you to go see someone."

"Who?" Feng Qingchen straightened up. She knew that Wang Jinling came to see her and would never chat with her.

The eldest son of the Wang family is also a man who cares about the world and is able to make decisions.

"Prince Su Zhai Hao." There was a hint of respect in his words.

"..." Feng Qingchen looked confused.

"You don't know Prince Su?" Wang Jinling was even more confused. Is there anyone in the Dongling Dynasty who doesn't know Prince Su Zhai Hao?

Feng Qingchen was a little embarrassed: "You also understand my previous situation."

Maybe, the original body remembered it, but she thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

Wang Jinling shook his head helplessly: "Prince Su Zhai Hao is the sworn brother of the late emperor. He is an iron-hat prince, hereditary and unchangeable. He is the only one in the Dongling Dynasty. This means that the title of Prince Su can be passed down from generation to generation. As long as the Dongling Dynasty exists, Prince Su will exist. Unlike the Duke's Mansion, in a few years, the Dongling Dynasty will no longer have the Duke's Mansion."

"This Prince Su is very extraordinary and is deeply trusted by the late emperor." Feng Qingchen finally understood how important this man was.

“That’s right. Prince Su has been a soldier all his life. He was the person the late emperor trusted the most and is also the person the emperor respects the most. The emperor still calls him Uncle Zhai. It’s just that Prince Su is not a person who is greedy for power. After the emperor took the throne firmly, he did not hold any official position except that of prince. He was free from official duties and was almost like the Ninth Uncle.” Wang Jinling respected this man very much.

It is not everyone who can reach the highest position in the country and yet be able to retire at the right time.

Although he is not an official, his words carry great weight. Feng Qingchen understands what Wang Jinling means.

"What's wrong with Prince Su?" Feng Qingchen asked directly.

Wang Jinling insisted that she go see it, what else could it be...

It's just that the other party is not feeling well. This is all she can offer. Otherwise, with her status, it would be impossible for her to meet Prince Su.

"It is said that it was a toothache, and the pain lasted for twenty years." Speaking of this, Wang Jinling also felt quite sympathetic.

A figure like Prince Su cried because of the toothache, which shows how fatal this disease can be when it occurs.

Not only that, in order to cure the toothache, Prince Su had almost all of his teeth pulled out...

"Toothache?" Feng Qingchen blinked and looked at Wang Jinling in embarrassment.

“I’m not a dentist.”
