Chapter 144 Miss Chen San’s Marriage
Feng Tianxing thought about it and thought that if she could let her mother come forward, this matter should be possible.
When she returned home that day, Feng Tianxing told Song Shuqing what she saw today and what she saw on the day of marrying her sister-in-law.
"You are a child, but you worry so much. Do you think Miss Chen San is suitable to marry the eldest prince?" Song Shuqing asked with a smile.
"Yes, Sister Chen San is a talented woman. Although she can't compare with my sister-in-law, she has a gentle personality and can play chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a typical lady from a noble family and a model of a noble lady." Feng Tianxing did not forget to praise her sister-in-law when she was praising others.
Song Shuqing wanted to laugh when she heard it.
I don't know how this lady looks.
Song Shuqing told Feng Zuwen about this matter again in the evening.
Feng Zuwen thought for a long time before saying, "If you want to make this happen, you have to act quickly, while Brother Chen has not been appointed by the emperor yet, so that the emperor won't think too much."
Song Shuqing heard that this made sense.
The next day, she went to Chen's house to chat with Xu Xinyu.
The two friends chatted quietly in the room for a long time. Xu Xinyu had never thought about marrying her daughter to a prince, let alone the eldest prince.
But the Feng family actually supported it, so she had to think more.
In the evening, she discussed it with Chen Zhizhong.
"Husband, do you think this is feasible?"
Chen Zhizhong did not answer immediately, but thought about it for a long time.
"What is Madam's attitude?"
"If this is accomplished, we will inevitably be involved in the struggle for the throne.
The eldest prince and the second prince are of similar age, and the Royal Concubine Zheng is also very favored. In the past, the Empress had to avoid their edge.
But in the past year, it seems that the Empress has caught the Emperor's eye again, and both sides are about the same." Xu Xinyu laid out the facts. "
These are all visible to everyone. It's just that the Feng family is very close to the Empress now, maybe they have something in mind.
Lord Feng and I have always had a good relationship. Since it was proposed by the Feng Mansion, it means that he has already considered it." Chen Zhizhong said this because he trusts the Feng family.
"What does your husband mean?"
"If it's the Feng family's fault, we can consider it. You can reply to Madam Feng."
"Okay, but I'll still ask Huizhen's opinion." Xu Xinyu was quite open-minded, and her daughter's opinion was also very important.
Then she went directly to Chen Huizhen's lady's room.
"Mom, why aren't you asleep so late?" Chen Huizhen was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"You also know it's late, why are you still reading, you might hurt your eyes." Xu Xinyu knew that ladies usually didn't sleep at this time. "
This book is quite interesting, I read it on a whim." Chen Huizhen put down the book and personally brought a chair for her mother to sit on the bed.
"Huizhen, Huo Jiang has been gone for almost half a year. You are so miserable. You were about to get married, but he died in the battlefield. You
two are not destined to be together. Mother is planning to find another husband for you. Do you think it's okay?" Xu Xinyu took her daughter's hand and squeezed it again and again. It was a pair of well-maintained hands. She raised her daughter tenderly.
When she heard that Huo Jiang died in the battle, Xu Xinyu was sad for a while. She always came to pick up the child warmly every time she went to the border town. But she would never see him again.
"Everything is arranged by mother." She has always been a good girl.
Chen Huizhen has a quiet and gentle personality. Xu Xinyu hired a female teacher to focus on training the girl. Whether
a woman lives a good life depends not only on the quality of the man she marries, but also on her own ability. If you meet a bad man, if you can train him well, you can live a good life.
So she has always taught her daughter to be beautiful and intelligent.
"Don't you have your own ideas? You have also met the young masters of various families in the capital. Is there anyone you like?" Xu Xinyu still wants her daughter to marry someone she likes. "
Mother, what are you talking about? How can I, a girl from a noble family, be taught privately?"
"That's not what mother meant. I just want to know if you have someone you want to marry?"
Why does this sentence still feel the same?
Chen Huizhen saw that her mother always asked questions around this topic, and then thought about it carefully, and suddenly the figure of the eldest prince appeared in her mind.
Recalling the two times they met.
She felt that the eldest prince seemed to have that intention towards her. She was not stupid, she was just observing etiquette.
But she knew that was impossible. One is a high and mighty prince, while she is a widow whose fiancé died, and her father and elder brother lost their military power due to the war. At present, there is no reason for the empress to favor her.
Seeing her daughter in a trance, Xu Xinyu knew that she must have some thoughts in her mind, but she just didn't say it.
"My daughter, your aunt Song came to our house today to discuss your marriage with your mother, and wanted to match you up."
"Whose family?" Chen Huizhen asked shyly.
"It's the eldest prince born to the empress."
"What?" Upon hearing that it was the eldest prince, Chen Huizhen suddenly sat up straight.
Could it be that the eldest prince found the Feng family? This is unlikely, and this matter must be agreed by the empress and the emperor.
"Your aunt Song just asked our Chen family's opinion first. If we agree, she will go to talk to the empress."
"In other words, the empress doesn't know?"
Xu Xinyu nodded.
"The Empress may not like the current situation in our family."
"You don't need to care about the Empress' attitude, just tell me what you think."
"The daughter listens to her parents."
Xu Xinyu saw that her daughter did not give a direct answer, but it was also an answer. That is, she had no opinion.
The next day, Xu Xinyu replied to Song Shuqing.
After receiving a positive reply, Song Shuqing delivered a letter to invite the Empress.
This was the first time Song Shuqing asked for an audience with the Empress.
Wu Miaozhen replied immediately after receiving the letter. She asked her to bring Feng Tianxing with her.
Early the next morning, Feng Tianxing was dressed up beautifully by her mother and entered the palace together. His
Royal Highness Mingwang did not come this time, he was in class. The education of the prince is a big deal for the royal family.
As soon as they entered the empress's palace.
"Tianxing, auntie wants to see you every day, what can I do?" Wu Miaozhen couldn't explain why, but she especially liked this child.
It's not because she is the only one who can see the face of the fourth prince.
"Then you can live in my house." Feng Tianxing said deliberately naively.
This made everyone laugh, which was of course impossible.
"Qingling, go to the study and see when King Ming finishes class, and let him have lunch at Fengqi Palace at noon."
This is the rhythm of keeping Song Shuqing and her daughter for lunch.
"Yes."
As a result, when Yun Ranqing heard that Sister Feng had entered the palace, he took leave directly, came to play with Feng Tianxing, brought her to his palace, and taught her to paint.
Song Shuqing asked the queen to send away the serving palace people, she wanted to talk to her alone.
When Song Shuqing explained her purpose.
Wu Miaozhen actually agreed without even thinking about it, which was beyond Song Shuqing's expectation.
"My queen, don't you think about it carefully?"
"Since you are the matchmaker, it must be a good one. Of course I like her. I have also seen that girl, and she is well-educated. However, because her father and elder brother both held military power at the border, I would consider the emperor's feelings and naturally would not make this decision easily. But now their family is free, what should I worry about?"
Wu Miaozhen is a wise woman. It may not be a good thing to rush to find help for the eldest prince. She is from the Prime Minister's Mansion and is already very prominent. If she finds someone who holds a large number of troops, it will be counterproductive.
"What about the Emperor?"
"I will go and talk to him about this. Whether it will work depends on the Emperor's attitude. After all, the eldest prince is his eldest son."
Song Shuqing didn't expect to be so successful with the Empress.
"Should we ask the eldest prince what he thinks?"
"No need to ask him. I know what he is thinking."
Song Shuqing was a little confused by this and looked at Wu Miaozhen in surprise.
"The day before yesterday at the palace banquet, the boy met with Miss Chen in the Yu Garden and was seen by others. In the past two days, there have been rumors in the palace that Zheng'er has a crush on Miss Chen.
If I hadn't discovered it in time and suppressed it, it might have reached the Emperor's ears. The boy really doesn't know how to avoid it." Wu Miaozhen complained about her son.
"Maybe the eldest prince thinks he is upright."
Song Shuqing told the queen again about what Feng Tianxing saw the two of them doing together in Feng Mansion that day.
Song Shuqing always thought that the eldest prince was a gentle and kind man. He did things openly and without any conspiracy. This image actually pleases the emperor more.
Would the emperor like a prince who was too calculating? That would be a threat to him.
But what the two could not have imagined was that at this moment, the noble concubine Zheng was also talking about Miss Chen San's marriage in the study.
