Chapter 453: I'm interested in the third lady
Fuyuantang.
Several people entered the room and bowed to the old lady.
The old lady smiled and asked the three of them to stand up.
Today, the Lu family is thriving, with loving fathers, filial sons, and harmonious sisters. Concubine Zhen's position in the palace is secure thanks to the Empress, and her grandson has passed the imperial examination and entered the court as an official. There are no villains causing trouble in the mansion, and everyone is united, making it a very warm place.
The only thing that worried her was Lu Xiang's marriage.
It is a good thing that a family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families, but the prerequisite is that her granddaughter does not have a heart for the Eighth Prince.
"Xiangxiang, today, the Lady of Cheng'an came to visit with her youngest son. Although she didn't say it, her words revealed that she wanted to ask her son to marry you. She said that she saw you at the banquet held by the Qiao family for Qiao Yuanan, the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, and she couldn't forget you. Lady of Cheng'an loves her son very much, so she came to ask me indirectly whether you are betrothed to someone."
Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao looked at Lu Xiang at the same time.
It is true.
Lu Xiang laughed helplessly and looked at the old lady: "Why did grandma refuse?"
The old lady glared at her granddaughter and said, "The Queen is very kind and has long since announced that she will carefully select your marriage. Although I am your grandmother, I cannot fail to live up to her kindness, so your marriage still has to be decided by the Queen."
"Grandmother is wise." Lu Xiang smiled with her eyes curved and said sweetly.
The old lady smiled helplessly and said, "I think Madam Cheng Anbo didn't seem to take it to heart. I don't know if she has any way to convince the emperor to agree to this marriage. You should be careful."
Fortunately, both his son and grandson are doing well now. His son has been promoted to the position of Minister of Works. If he becomes the eighth prince's consort, then his status as the legitimate daughter of Minister Xiangxiang will be good enough to match her.
But I'm afraid the Emperor has other plans for the Eighth Prince...
There is a huge gap between the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess must be from a prominent family. It is also possible that the Emperor has already trained the most perfect candidate for the Crown Princess early on.
Thinking of this, the old lady sighed softly.
It is unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse that the eighth prince has taken a fancy to his granddaughter.
"Granddaughter knows." Lu Xiang nodded obediently.
As long as Chu Jinyan's original intention remains unchanged, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, she will not be afraid and will just cut them one by one.
Lu Xiang didn't take Madam Cheng Anbo seriously, but Ah Man rolled her eyes after hearing that, and then took the time to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
The moment Sheng Xian saw Ah Man, he thought to himself, could it be that this little girl also couldn't bear to part with him, so she only met in the morning and came again in the evening?
Yuanfeng looked at Sheng Xian, who was feeling amorous beside him, and stood a few steps away with great disgust.
Where is the romantic wanderer? Why did he fall headfirst into the arms of Ah Man, the queen of flowers?
The key point is when it happened and why he only discovered it now.
"Aman, are you..." missing me.
Sheng Xianhua was talking halfway when he saw Ah Man walking past him with great indifference, without even glancing at him.
Yuanfeng on the side laughed without any hesitation.
Sheng Xian was so angry that he hit him, but Yuan Feng would not stand there and let him hit him, so the two of them started a chaotic scene in the yard.
Ah Man knocked on the door, and after hearing Chu Jinyan say come in, she pushed the door open.
"Your Highness, someone is trying to steal your girl." Ah Man said as soon as he entered the room.
Chu Jinyan was startled when he heard this, then narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Who?"
"At the Cheng'an Marquis's Mansion, when my young lady and I just returned to the Lu Mansion, we saw her preparing to leave with her son. Later, I heard from the old lady in person in Fuyuan Hall that Lady Cheng'an Marquis wanted to come to the house to ask for the Third Young Lady's hand in marriage on behalf of her son, but was rejected by the old lady."
Into Amber Mansion?
It's just an ordinary earl's mansion, which has enjoyed the hereditary title for three generations relying on the protection of its ancestors. Today, the Earl's Mansion has lost its former glory. If the son of Earl Cheng'an is still incompetent, he will take back the title after a hundred years.
"I understand." Chu Jinyan said expressionlessly.
Even if it was an Earl's Mansion that posed no threat, and dared to covet his Xiangxiang, he would either show his power or treat it as a soft persimmon.
So Du Yuheng, who worked obediently in the Hanlin Academy, was inexplicably punished because of a transcript he sent to the emperor.
He was originally a lowly official and there was no way to lower his rank, so he was fined his salary and required to copy the mistakes a hundred times.
Everyone in the Hanlin Academy looked at Du Yuheng with great sympathy. He had finally gotten the chance to show his face in front of the emperor, but was remembered by the emperor for making a mistake. It was not known whether he would be able to turn things around in the future.
However, although everyone was gloating over his misfortune, no one was so blind as to run up to him and add insult to injury.
After all, he is the legitimate young master of the Cheng'an Marquis's mansion. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is not a problem for Cheng'an Marquis to make things difficult for them.
Du Yuheng was greatly shocked and his face turned pale, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and pick up his pen to copy it obediently.
How could he know that it was Chu Jinyan who deliberately chose his transcript, and that the mistakes were also made by him.
Emperor Chengde doted on his son without limit. If his son wanted to suppress someone, he would naturally help him with all his strength.
But it's a bit too much to use him and then turn around and walk away.
Even though his old father was jumping up and down in anger behind him, Chu Jinyan remained unmoved and just walked away.
"I'm so angry. He just wanted me to play a game of chess with him, but he refused. What kind of son is he?"
Hu Qian stood silently aside, trying to reduce his presence.
I thought to myself that Your Majesty would get so angry at the Eighth Prince every time, but he would still rush forward to go there the next time.
Emperor Chengde was angry for a long time, but when he found no one responded, he rolled his eyes in boredom and stood up and said, "Go to Jingren Palace."
If he doesn't leave, won't he be able to find anyone?
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Empress Song had to prepare for the New Year, as well as receive so many rewards from the entire palace. She was extremely busy. When she heard Emperor Cheng De say that he wanted to play chess with her, she was so angry that she wanted to throw the account book in his face.
She was so busy that she was like a spinning top, but he still had the leisure to play chess?
After enduring for a long time, Queen Song took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and I am too busy to handle it. Why don't you go find another sister to play chess with?"
As an emperor, don't you have anything to do?
Emperor Chengde seemed not to notice that Empress Song was about to go crazy, and he took her hand and walked towards the bed: "There are too many things to do in a year, so it doesn't matter if we take a short break."
The moment Emperor Chengde held Queen Song's hand, all her anger disappeared, and a slight ripple began to form in her heart.
But this beauty was suddenly broken by the rogue behavior of the player after playing chess.
Queen Song was powerless to touch her forehead. She was so tempted by beauty that she actually forgot how bad the emperor was at chess. The key point was that she was unaware of it and kept regretting her moves.
