A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Shen Zhixiu knew that the Second Prince had not given up on the marriage with the Song family.

However, he was not worried about this matter. Given the minds and means of the Song family father and son, it would be difficult for the second prince to plot against the Song family.

At the court meeting, the Duke of Zhenguo first stood in the middle of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I checked carefully yesterday and found nothing."

"The Qin family's servants were also interrogated, and they all said they didn't notice anything unusual in Wutong Garden."

"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

In fact, Qin Yuan had already told the Duke of Zhenguo everything that happened yesterday. Even the little maid who passed the message had been quietly beaten to death by the Qin family.

However, the Duke of Zhenguo did not intend to say these things. Anyway, these things had little to do with the Qin family, and there was no need for him to offend the Second Prince and the Rong family by saying these things.

Emperor Xuande did not reprimand the Duke of Zhenguo. To be honest, the Qin family had suffered an unprovoked disaster. A good birthday banquet turned into such a mess, and there was no place to complain.

He just said, "Continue investigating," and let the Duke of Zhenguo leave.

After that, they continued talking about government affairs as usual.

Prince Rong stood at the foot of the hall, feeling extremely anxious. Logically, the emperor should have issued an order to grant the marriage yesterday, but why was there no movement today?

My daughter has lost her virginity, and the Emperor won't grant her a marriage. Does she have to become a nun?

All the political affairs that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and as the court meeting was about to end, Prince Rong finally could not hold back any longer.

He walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for my daughter regarding yesterday's matter."

Emperor Xuande looked at Prince Rong coldly and said in a cold voice, "I have my own plans."

Shen Zhixiu glanced at the emperor's expression calmly, feeling puzzled.

Why does it seem like the Emperor has something against the Rong family?

Could it be that what happened yesterday was related to Rong Jin?

At this time, Shen Zhixiu didn't know that the development of this matter was all the work of his two cousins.

Prince Rong also noticed the anger in the emperor's words. He was confused but did not dare to say anything more. He could only stand up and retreat.

When the court meeting was over and the court officials respectfully saw the emperor off, everyone filed out of the hall.

The Second Prince walked out in a hurry, but before he could even go down the stairs, he was stopped by Prince Rong.

"Your Highness, is there something you need?" The Second Prince stopped and asked despite knowing what Prince Rong meant.

Prince Rong looked embarrassed, but still said, "Your Highness, what happened yesterday..."

The Second Prince interrupted Prince Rong and said, "Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. Please give me another two days."

"I will definitely give an explanation to the Rong family and Miss Rong. Please believe me, Your Majesty."

After saying this, he solemnly bowed to Prince Rong as a junior.

The second prince acted humbly and spoke sincerely.

Prince Rong felt much more at ease, although he didn't know what the Second Prince wanted to investigate. But the Rong family could still wait for two days.

After pacifying Prince Rong, the Second Prince said goodbye to him and quickly left the palace.

The two days he had fought with the Rong family were just to test the Song family's attitude. If there was no hope of marrying into the Song family, he would have to get engaged to Rong Jin first.

Song Zan did not expect that the second prince would show up right after he entered the palace.

Just like the previous few days, the Song family father and son met the second prince in the main hall.

After sitting down, Song Hongshen spoke in a sarcastic tone, "The King of Pingxi has come to visit us. It is a great honor for our Song family."

"I wonder if the King of Pingxi is coming today and has sent a wedding invitation?"

Song Zan and Song Hongyuan didn't say anything, but their faces were calm.

After hearing what Song Hongshen said, the Second Prince was not angry, but instead felt a little hopeful.

If the Song family greets politely without any anger, it means that they do not want to get married and have given up the idea.

But judging from the expressions of the Song family father and son, as well as the tone of their voices, they were obviously tempted by this marriage, otherwise they would not be angry.

The second prince said quickly: "Cousin, don't be angry first, listen to my explanation."

"I am also innocent of what happened that day. If my uncle and my two cousins ​​are willing to listen to my explanation, I am willing to explain it to you clearly."

He looked at Song Zan with hope, his eyes full of pleading.

Song Zan sighed, "Then Your Highness, please speak up. I will listen to you. But I have not agreed to anything, and the Song family will not express its position."

The second prince bowed and said, "Uncle is right, we were just chatting."

"After I got back yesterday, I sent someone to check. When the Qin family was celebrating the birthday, the maidservant next to Miss Rong's Sixth Family suddenly went out."

"After investigation, it was found that she went to Chunxianglou, which is across the street, and bought a box of medicine."

"What kind of business does Chunxianglou do? My uncle should know the effects of the cheap things that come out of that kind of place."

"I'm not shirking my responsibility, but... I still want to tell my uncle that my feelings towards cousin Wan haven't changed."

The second prince had a look of helplessness and dejection on his face, and he smiled bitterly as he spoke.

People who don’t know the inside story would probably sigh at the Second Prince’s deep love and loyalty, but fate is such a cruel thing.

Song Zan hesitated for a moment and said, "I sympathize with your Highness's plight, but the Song family only has Wanwan as a daughter, so it is impossible for her to be a concubine."

The second prince's heart moved, "Uncle, I can assure you that the Sixth Miss of the Rong family..."

Song Zan immediately raised his hand to stop the second prince from speaking.

“Your Highness, I don’t want to hear what’s going on between you and the Rong family, and it has nothing to do with my Song family.”

"The marriage between His Highness and Miss Rong should be discussed by His Majesty and Prince Rong."

"I only have one thing to say, the daughter of my Song family will never be a concubine."

To the Second Prince, Song Zan's words were a hint. As long as he could guarantee that Song Wanwan would be the principal wife, the Song family would agree to the marriage.

"Uncle, I'll remember what you said. Don't worry, I will definitely get this done."

Song Zan did not respond to this, but smiled and said: "People say that the mother's uncle is the most important, but your highness is the grandson of the emperor, and the marriage still depends on the emperor."

"We can't lose face for the royal family, nor can we disobey the emperor."

The Second Prince understood what the Marquis of Loyalty meant. It was clear that he was being told not to make things too awkward, and that he had to get the emperor's approval.

Afterwards, the Second Prince looked at the expressions of the Song family father and son and felt obviously relieved and more at ease.

When leaving the Song family, the second prince asked, "Cousin Wan's marriage..."

Song Zan looked normal, "The Song family will continue to look for a marriage partner for Wanwan. Of course, there is no rush, we can just wait and see."

The second prince nodded, "Uncle is right, this is a matter of a lifetime, we can't rush it."

What Marquis Zhongyi meant was that he could be given some time, but if he didn't give an explanation, then the matter would be left alone.

After leaving the Song family and getting on the carriage, the second prince ordered, "Go to the Rong family."

The driver was the second prince's confidant. Hearing this, he asked, "Your Highness, are you going to the Rong family to discuss marriage? Are you going to marry the princess soon?"

The second prince said coldly: "It is to welcome the concubine in."
