After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 190: The Xie family is famous?
Yun Zhihan was very happy that the queen did not like her daughter at all.
"Empress, I think it would be better to hold a banquet under a pretext so that the prince can see the character and appearance of the girls from various families."
"Firstly, Your Majesty can observe each young lady of the noble family up close. Secondly, it can also dispel the doubts of the harem and the court officials, killing two birds with one stone."
When the queen heard this, she thought it was a good idea, but this would greatly increase the uncertainty, especially when Xie Baijin came, she was afraid that he might make a fool of himself and attract his son's attention.
"The county lady's idea is very good, but I think that the prince is young and unstable. If we only focus on appearance or talent and ignore his character and temperament, it will only cause more trouble."
Yun Zhihan knew that the Queen had been lenient with her words. Jin'er's hobbies could not be considered talents, and there was even a suspicion of sensationalism.
"Your Majesty is right. In this case, why don't you designate the invitees? After you have screened them, the Crown Prince will decide. Wouldn't that provide a double guarantee?"
"That's a good idea."
The queen suddenly realized that if this was the case, then their Shang family could select a few more girls of the right age. It didn't matter even if they were born out of wedlock, as long as they were sensible and could manage the harem.
"Then I will send an invitation to the county lady first. Everyone knows that the Xie family has a good character and is the first choice for many noble families to marry into the family."
Yun Zhihan was terrified. The Queen was giving him a question that would kill him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Her Majesty, but unfortunately, there is no young lady of the right age at home. Even if Her Majesty sends an invitation, I cannot come. Why waste a place?"
The Queen was happy in her heart but pretended to be calm on the surface. She didn't expect that Madam Xie was so sensible. No wonder she was loved and valued by the Emperor.
"Oh? I heard that the county lady has a legitimate daughter, but she is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Isn't that the right age for marriage? Is she already married?"
Yun Zhihan smiled awkwardly. She really couldn't think of any good excuse, so she could only let her daughter down.
She deliberately lowered her voice, moved closer to the queen, and explained, "To be honest, I am not good enough."
The queen was surprised and asked, "No? In what aspect?"
"My daughter doesn't like men."
When these words were spoken, the queen and the servants around her were all shocked. They all stared at Yun Zhihan, as if they had eaten some shocking news.
I hope the county lady can say more so that they can spread the news more vividly.
The queen was unable to react for a while. Is this something she can say? No wonder Xie Baijin never hangs around in front of the prince. This is the reason.
After saying this, Yun Zhihan suddenly felt sorry for his daughter, but when he thought about how she usually did evil things, he comforted himself that he did nothing wrong in doing so to protect his daughter.
"Empress, please keep this a secret for me. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid my daughter's reputation will be..."
The Queen nodded repeatedly and consoled him, "Don't worry, County Lady. I will keep my mouth shut. As for the choice of the Crown Princess, as you said, I will write the invitation myself."
This time she was completely relieved. She must tell her son about this matter immediately and make him give up this idea completely.
……
The next morning, all kinds of rumors about the Xie family spread throughout the court.
After hearing the news, the ministers all said they would keep it secret, but they turned around and told their wives. The wives were very excited and passed the news to the young ladies of each family.
In the end, everyone put the Xie family on the headlines and they became completely famous.
"Eh? Have you heard? Minister Xie doesn't want to work hard anymore and wants to live off the princess."
"Hehe, what's that? The daughter of the Xie family is as close to women as sisters, and she has no feelings for men."
"Oh, that's a shame."
"Who said it wasn't? The one who suffered the most was the mistress of the Xie family. She was a county lady, not only stunningly beautiful, but also well-educated and sensible. I didn't expect these children, ah..."
"That is to say, the county lady is a good person, but her family is unfortunate, which is a pity for the hard work of the mistress."
While others were chatting animatedly at home, Yun Zhihan was lying in bed sleeping.
Ever since she learned from Tongzi that the Xie family had become famous, she had rested peacefully. After all, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Now that the Xie family is in such a state, those envious and jealous ministers should finally give up.
At the same time, she was curious about why her daughter didn't come over to challenge her? Wasn't that unlike her personality?
At this time, Xie Baijin was lying on the bed, reading "The Art of War" leisurely.
Although she had memorized the text by heart, she felt more comfortable reading the book because she had notes on it.
But Yunyan on the side was a little puzzled. Jin'er's reputation had already spread far and wide outside, but she was acting like nothing had happened. Wasn't that unlike her?
"Jin'er, are you okay?"
Bai Jin looked at his cousin curiously and asked, "Very good, what's the matter? Is there anything I can help you with, dear lady?"
Yunyan heard her sarcastic tone and scolded, "I'm talking to you seriously. What's the rumor outside? Aren't you curious at all?"
"What's the big deal? It must have been passed down from my mother." Bai Jin seemed to see through the truth at a glance and didn't care at all.
"Why did my cousin say that?"
"Is there any need to ask? It must be the Queen who is putting pressure on Mother. She had no choice but to make up a story."
"But if this gets out, how can you get married?"
Yunyan was very worried, but Baijin was not nervous at all. She explained slowly, "I won't marry. I want to be a free lady."
"Ah? Are you really like what the rumors say?"
Bai Jin gave her a devilish look and didn't answer directly. Instead, he teased, "Why? My cousin seems to care a lot about whether I like men."
"I, I didn't. I just thought that you are a good lady from a noble family and could have married a good man. Why do you ruin yourself like this?"
"Cousin, I don't agree with your idea. My origin is not something I can decide, although I am lucky. Not only was I born into a noble family, but I also have a mother and brothers and sisters who love me."
"But I am greedy. Besides these, I also want freedom in marriage. I don't know what will happen in the future, but right now, I don't want to waste my time on a man."
She finally lived the free and leisurely life she had always dreamed of, so how could she give it up so easily?
"Aren't you afraid of other people's criticism?"
"What's the point of being afraid when someone else has a mouth? They will still say it anyway."
For some reason, Yunyan felt admiration for this girl. She was really brave and she liked her so much.
Then, Bai Jin added, "Don't you still exist? I am not alone."
Yunyan just smiled and said nothing.
