Chapter 247 The Prince's Feelings
"Nowadays, the status of our Jing'an Marquis Mansion is really too high to be considered as a wife, but Qin Zhu can only be the principal wife..."
Zhou Zhili said one more sentence, which served as a summary.
Ye Lingyue didn't say anything else. This family really trusted Zhou Zhixia.
As a bystander, she had long seen that Concubine Rong did not want her son to marry Zhou Qinzhu.
After all, a niece who is surrounded by negative things cannot bring any help to her son and is not qualified to be the main wife.
The promise of a concubine position was also made for the sake of family.
It’s a pity that after saying so much, I didn’t even wake up the Zhou family.
When Gu Ruanci came to Prince Duan's Mansion again to help Lu Enyan with his treatment, the princess held her and talked to her for a long time.
Now that her son's condition is improving, her worries have also subsided and she no longer isolates herself.
She holds in her hands everything she should fight for and will not give it to anyone else.
Her kind nature prevented her from deliberately making things difficult for the people in Concubine Wen's courtyard, but she simply didn't allow them to cause trouble outside in the name of the palace.
Concubine Wen was indeed feeling very uncomfortable these days.
She had already lost the favor of Prince Duan, and now her children's marriages were blocked, which was really depressing.
"There have been quite a few royal weddings lately, and the entire Dizhou City seems to be busy. The third young master in the palace is also getting married. Ruanci should know about the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion. Concubine Feng has been very honest over the years and has not had much presence in the palace. So this time, Enru is getting married, so I have to help with the arrangements. If the servants in the palace have any shortcomings, Ruanci should not take it to heart."
Gu Ruanci smiled and said, "That's not true, Princess. Although the servants in the mansion are busy, they have never neglected me..."
"Since you returned to Dizhou and helped Yan'er with his illness, he has improved significantly. I thought before that if I just stayed with him, when he really couldn't be cured, I would go with him and have some peace. Now, I have completely figured it out."
The princess did not hide her original thoughts, nor was she afraid of being laughed at by Gu Ruanci.
After all, these were her real plans.
Otherwise, depression would not lead to heart disease.
"It's great that the princess thinks this way. The Third Young Master is a lucky man and will definitely get better and better." Gu Ruanci said sincerely.
The princess smiled softly, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
"Soft words, do you know why I am so frank with you?"
Gu Ruanci was slightly stunned and shook his head.
"Because I think you are different from other women. You are smart, kind, and have your own persistence. If it were in the past, I would never say such words and let my son implicate a certain woman, but now he has great hope, and I really want to help him plan a marriage..." There was a hint of pleading and expectation in the princess' words.
When Gu Ruanci heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Regardless of whether she accepts this marriage or not, the princess's attitude of loving her son and being responsible for other people's daughters has already won over many people.
She said softly, "I understand what the princess means. I am grateful that the princess values Ruanci so much. However, marriage is a big matter, so we need to think about it in the long run. Now Ruanci has just returned home and wants to spend more time with my father and mother."
Upon hearing this, the princess nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with Gu Ruanci's attitude.
"I understand. I just hope you can consider it. Yan'er is no longer a burden and doesn't need a wedding."
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor had mentioned the matter of having a wedding to bring good luck before, but neither the princess nor Lu Enyan herself agreed. They didn't want to delay the life of an innocent woman.
Master Mo also supported the decision of his daughter and grandson, believing that this was the responsibility of the royal family.
After Gu Ruanci left, Lu Enyan came out.
The princess saw his rather disappointed expression and said, "The Chaoyang County Princess clearly prefers to heal illnesses and save lives. She may not understand your intentions, but her words are not without reason. She left home at a young age and worked hard to learn her craft for ten years. Now that she has returned to the Gu family, she has only been a family member for a few months. Talking directly to them about marriage at this time is indeed a bit embarrassing for them."
Lu Enyan nodded: "Son knows..."
"Don't worry. Whether Concubine Rong goes to help Lu Enrui or your father goes to help Lu Ennan, there's no way they can convince the Emperor to marry Gu Ruanci to them. The relationship between the Duke of Shou and the Emperor is not blood brothers, but it's better than blood brothers. However, the Duke of Shou has never been arrogant because of his favor, nor has he used his relationship with the Emperor to suppress anyone. He is a loyal minister. As long as the Duke of Shou doesn't agree, the Emperor will not make his own decision to grant Gu Ruanci a marriage."
"Moreover, Gu Ruanci is now the Princess of Chaoyang County. Her status and position are extraordinary, so her marriage must be handled with extreme caution."
Seeing that Lu Enyan still had no confidence, the princess continued, "Your father has already told me that as long as I don't agree, he will not enter the palace to help Lu Ennan and Lu Wenxue get married. So, you can rest assured about the Queen Mother."
After hearing this, Lu Enyan indeed relaxed a lot.
This news is the best for him. As long as he is given time and opportunity, he will always be able to win.
He himself couldn't tell when he fell in love with Gu Ruanci. When he first realized her feelings, he felt that he was marrying above his station. After all, he himself didn't know to what extent his body could recover.
When it comes to emotional matters, if he can control it, he will probably try his best to suppress himself.
"Princess Chaoyang should have understood my test just now. Won't you be embarrassed when you meet next time?" asked the princess.
Lu Enyan had actually considered this issue, but he just wanted to be brave for once.
"It's okay. If this kind of thing is embarrassing, there's no need to bring it up in the future."
The princess said, "If that's what you meant, you should have spoken to her in the past two days. It was your intention to let me test her. A man, no matter what his body is like, must have his own responsibilities."
Lu Enyan hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "I'll keep your words in mind, mother, and I'll get started on it in the next two days."
"Okay, let's go."
After Lu Enyan left, the princess touched her forehead.
"My son has finally come to his senses."
The nanny smiled and said, "This is good news. The prince is now in better health. I think the Chaoyang County Lady is not a shy person. Regardless of whether this marriage is successful or not, she will not refuse to treat the prince's illness just because of this."
"Yeah, it's rare to find someone so capable without being so condescending."
The princess's evaluation of Gu Ruanci was very pertinent.
"Ci Ke will soon become the Crown Prince's consort. My niece will surely be the mother of the nation in the future. Prepare the gifts for the congratulations. I will also take out a generous gift from my storehouse and give it to my sister-in-law to add to Ci Ke's dowry."
