Chapter 238 Why Marry Such a Good Person
"Which daughter of yours is this?"
"The sixth girl born to Aunt Qiu."
Concubine Shu frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what she looked like, so she asked, "Sister, what do you think of her?"
Madam Liu would naturally not ruin Prime Minister Liu's reputation outside. She smiled and said, "Prince Prime Minister likes her as much as Yao Er does. It can be seen that she is also well-behaved and sensible."
Concubine Shu pursed her lips. Being well-behaved and sensible is good, but she wants someone who is smart and has plans to help her son.
But then I thought about how he was favored by Prime Minister Liu, so I guess he wouldn't be that stupid.
Since Prime Minister Liu wanted to arrange a marriage, he naturally hoped that his daughter would be favored. If she was not smart, his son would not like her either.
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu felt relieved again.
"In that case, Sister Gan Ming, bring her to the palace for me to take a look."
Madam Liu responded, "Tell Yao'er to bring her to the palace tomorrow. It will also be a good opportunity for Yao'er to go to the palace to relax."
"Well, if you are a decent person who knows the rules, you can take their birth dates to Xiangguo Temple to compare them."
Madam Liu chatted with Concubine Shu for a while and then left the palace.
After returning to the prime minister's residence, she went straight to Aunt Qiu's courtyard.
"Meet the madam."
"Good luck, madam."
The maids' repeated greetings startled Aunt Qiu, who was embroidering in the room. She quickly put down her work and ran out.
"My concubine greets the Madam." Aunt Qiu bowed.
Madam Liu responded expressionlessly and strode into the house. After she sat down, Aunt Qiu hurriedly asked the maid to serve tea.
"No need, I'll just say a few words and leave."
Aunt Qiu smiled softly: "I wonder what instructions Madam has?"
Mrs. Liu looked at the bright and beautiful face in front of her and suddenly felt jealous.
You are a despicable thing who uses your beauty to please men, huh.
"The Concubine Shu said that the Sixth Girl should follow Yao'er into the palace to pay respects to the emperor tomorrow. You should give the Sixth Girl a good warning and tell her not to lose her manners when she enters the palace."
Aunt Qiu was so shocked that she stared: "Why did the Queen suddenly summon the Sixth Miss?"
"The Prime Minister intends to let the Sixth Girl be the Second Prince's concubine. This is a blessing for your daughter. Your Majesty has an opinion. Once she meets her, as for whether she can enter the Second Prince's backyard, it depends on her luck."
Aunt Qiu was suddenly so excited that she didn't know what to do. Her sharp eyes sparkled with joy, making her look even more charming.
"Thank you, ma'am, for your help."
Madam Liu didn't want to be thanked at all. She curled her lips in frustration and said, "Then you guys better prepare well." Then she got up and left.
"Farewell, madam." Aunt Qiu bowed.
Seeing that Madam Liu had gone far away, she hurriedly ordered someone to call Liu Anyu over.
"Aunt, you called me?"
Liu Anyu said this and walked into the house.
She was wearing a bright red jacket with golden crabapple flowers, a yellow and white striped water-rippled silk skirt, and her hair was combed in a hibiscus bun with a pair of white jade butterfly hollow hairpins on it. She looked gorgeous.
Aunt Qiu looked at her daughter in front of her and her smile became even more gentle and loving.
Liu Anyu looked at her in confusion and laughed, "Aunt, did you call me here just to look at me and laugh?"
Aunt Qiu couldn't help feeling excited when she thought about her daughter's upcoming marriage.
She pulled Liu Anyu to sit down and said with a smile: "Madam came just now and asked you to go to the palace with Miss Five to pay respect to Concubine Shu tomorrow."
Liu Anyu frowned when she heard this: "Mother and Fifth Sister don't like to bring us concubines to the palace to see Concubine Shu, why do you suddenly bring up this matter?"
I'm afraid there is a conspiracy.
Aunt Qiu raised her hand and stroked Liu Anyu's hair: "My daughter is beautiful and charming, she deserves to have a noble status."
"Aunt, what are you talking about?"
"Your father intends to have you marry the second prince as a concubine, and the Concubine Shu also agrees, so she asked you to come to the palace to meet her." Aunt Qiu said.
Liu Anyu was stunned: "Aunt, are you serious?"
Aunt Qiu glared at her and said, "Aunt, can I still joke with you about this? When you enter the Second Prince's mansion, you will win his heart with your looks. The Second Emperor's Consort only gave birth to two daughters but no sons. The other concubine has not been pregnant in two years since entering the mansion, which shows that they want the main wife to give birth to a legitimate son. But you are different. You are the daughter of the Liu family, and you have the opportunity to give birth to a concubine's eldest son first."
Liu Anyu was shaking with excitement as she held Aunt Qiu's hand.
"Aunt, I can finally make a name for myself."
No longer have to kowtow to Liu Anyao's face.
From now on, she will be the prince's concubine, and Liu Anyao is just a merchant woman. She has to bow when she sees her.
What's more, she will be the imperial concubine in the future...
Aunt Qiu also thought of this. Her pretty face was full of smiles, but deep in her charming eyes, there was a gleam of invisible sharpness.
Yes, my daughter has finally made something successful.
She won't have to compromise anymore.
"Okay, go back and think carefully about what to wear tomorrow, and make sure the queen likes you."
The mother and daughter must seize this opportunity.
"Yes, auntie, it's still early. I'm going to Jinyutang to buy some jewelry. The jewelry in the house is old. I'm leaving now."
Liu Anyu said this and walked away happily holding up her skirt.
In the main courtyard, Liu Anyao's eyebrows knitted up deeply after hearing Madam Liu's words, and she said with dissatisfaction, "What does Dad think? If Liu Anyu is allowed to marry the Second Prince, then won't I be inferior to her in the future? I don't want it, and I will never agree to it even if I die."
She yelled so loudly that Madam Liu quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Little ancestor, please keep your voice down."
Liu Anyao's face was angry: "Mom, the mother and daughter haven't gained power yet, are you afraid?"
Aunt Qiu was already loved by her father, so she was taken extra care of by her father even when it came to Liu Anyu. She was humiliated in front of others because of Lu Xiang's scheme, and all the concubines and illegitimate children in the mansion laughed at her behind her back, wondering why Liu Anyu could marry such a good woman.
Even if she was a concubine, she was still a concubine of the royal family, not to mention a concubine who had married Yudie.
When Liu Anyao thought about having to kowtow to Liu Anyu, a concubine's daughter, she felt sick all over. Her pretty little face became so gloomy that it seemed as if ink was about to drip out.
"What is there to be afraid of, mother? The Concubine Shu is my biological sister, and the Second Prince is my biological nephew. Even if Liu Anyu marries into the prince's mansion, she can't escape from my control." Madam Liu said, raising her chin slightly.
Liu Anyao: "Humph, I don't want to go to the palace tomorrow. Since my father wants to choose her to be the second prince's concubine, let her go to the palace to see her aunt."
Want to climb up by stepping on her? Dream on.
Madam Liu glared at her daughter helplessly: "Don't be willful, your position in your father's heart has already dropped a few points. If you act on impulse again, you will push your father away. Remember, because you are the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, Xiao Muheng can hold you in high esteem. If you anger your father and make him stop caring about you, will you be happy?"
When Liu Anyao heard this, her expression changed slightly.
The reason why Xiao Muheng married her was because of her identity. Liu Anyao knew very well where her advantages lay, but if her father was really cruel and ignored her, then she would have no value and would have a hard time in the Xiao family.
