Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

The princess's mansion was so rich and luxurious that Qu Qiuer became more determined to kill Duan Wenjing.

If the princess has no children, it would be great if she could adopt Xuan'er.

Even if he inherits the title by a lower rank, he will benefit greatly from it throughout his life.

The more Qu Qiuer thought about it, the more excited she became, and she didn't even notice that the princess was calling her.

Duan Qianliang's tone was unhappy, and his voice became louder, "Cousin! His Highness is asking you a question, and your mind is not in the right place. This is against the rules!"

Qu Qiuer came back to her senses instantly, and in panic she met the princess's inquiring gaze. Qing Lingling seemed to be able to see through everything.

She quickly stood up and said, "I am disrespectful. I beg the princess to punish me."

Yongle didn't care much: "It's okay, we are a family and there is no need to be restrained. I asked you to ask about Tong'er's marriage. I remember that she seems to be not much older than Jing'er. Why hasn't she decided on a marriage yet?"

There was a hint of sadness in Qu Qiuer's eyes. People from the Tan family passed away one after another, and the two children had to observe mourning until they were 18 years old. How could they find a satisfactory marriage?

Besides, she wanted to use the prestige of the princess's mansion to get Tong'er to marry her.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Tong'er's marriage has been delayed because of mourning, which is also a worry for me. As for Xuan'er, it is not urgent for a man to get married first and then start a career. If he can support the Tan family, Tong'er's marriage will not be a problem."

Yongle smiled faintly and said, "Men can wait, but girls can't waste time. Since you are here, I will decide the marriage. You are here at the right time. I do have a few candidates. You might as well listen to them."

Qu Qiuer was excited at first, but then she calmed down, "The princess is very busy, how can I bother you..."

"Zhen'er is here to help me at home and outside, so I can't say I'm busy," Yongle interrupted her, "I rarely get involved in such trivial matters, so just listen to me."

Having said this, it would be disrespectful for Qu Qiuer not to listen. She secretly glanced at her cousin, who shook his head slightly, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.

Qu Qiu'er had no choice but to kneel and salute: "Then I'll trouble you, Princess."

"For me, it's a small matter. I just don't know what kind of family you like. If you tell me in advance, you won't blame me in the future."

Qu Qiuer thought that it would be the best thing if she could enter the palace and become a concubine, but Her Royal Highness the Princess might not agree.

Becoming a concubine to a prince, or marrying into a high-ranking family, or the son of an official with a promising future are all remarkable marriages.

But Qu Qiu'er couldn't say that. She smiled implicitly: "I don't seek family background, nor do I seek wealth and honor. I just want to find a good man who is down-to-earth and ambitious. It doesn't matter if he is the son of a peddler. I am not picky."

After hearing this, Yongle really thought about it carefully. After a while, when Qu Qiuer thought she couldn't find a suitable candidate, the princess spoke.

"Since you are not picky, I do have a candidate. It is Mama Niu who is in charge of the kitchen in the mansion. Her son is one year younger than Tong'er. A few days ago, Mama Niu came to me and asked me to marry Shaohua, who is by my side. I was reluctant to let her go, so I promised to find a good marriage for her son. What do you think?"

Qu Qiuer's face immediately turned as pale as snow, and Tan Yuetong beside her almost jumped up from her chair.

The princess wants to marry her to a domestic slave?!

What a shame!

Tan Yuetong looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.

Qu Qiuer took a few breaths and said with difficulty: "Princess...Tong'er she...she..."

"Eh? Don't you want to? The Tan family is just a small merchant family. Are they not suitable for the servants of the princess's mansion? Besides, Niu Mama's son is in charge of one of our royal estates. He is a rare good man. If Tong'er marries him, she will be no different from the young mistress."

The Duan family fell into trouble and Qu Qiuer was implicated. She hastily found a husband who ran a tea shop. In fact, if she relied on herself, she really couldn't find a good marriage for Tan Yuetong.

But that's not what I said!

Qu Qiuer felt a little aggrieved: "Then, then, then you can't marry me..."

Even if this dynasty did not restrict the sons of merchants and slaves from taking the imperial examinations, that would not work. A person's family background is too important and it directly determines how high a person can reach in the future.

Qu Qiu'er didn't dare to contradict the princess. She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. Duan Qianliang was even more anxious than her. He said something he didn't want to say: "Princess, since ancient times, women have been married. Although Tong'er is older, she shouldn't be matched with a servant in the mansion!"

Yongle glanced at him and said, "I am marrying down."

Duan Qianliang choked. No matter who the princess marries, she is marrying down from her parents' side. How can they be confused with each other?

"If you don't want to, forget it. I won't force you." Yongle changed the subject, "I heard that Concubine Jing's nephew has reached the right age to get married..."

Before she finished her words, Duan Qianliang tilted his teacup and said something with a broken voice: "Your Highness, this is not right! Concubine Jing's nephew... Your Highness, please forgive me for being disrespectful, but your nephew is uneducated and hangs out in brothels every night. He already has two sons before he even got married. How can he be a good match!"

Yongle was dissatisfied, "Empress Jing told me that her nephew has changed his ways and has not been to a brothel for a month. He is working hard to prepare for the Spring Examination!"

Duan Qianliang felt dizzy before his eyes. He realized that the princess didn't take his family seriously at all!

This attitude actually means that they feel from the bottom of their hearts that the two parties are a good match.

Duan Qianliang was a little afraid to look into the eyes of Qu Qiuer and her son, "Your Highness, please think twice. This marriage will not be possible..."

Yongle said "Oh", thought about it and felt that it was indeed inappropriate, so he proposed another one.

"General Yongwu lost his wife two years ago. Although he was a concubine, she only left a daughter. If Tong'er marries and gives birth to a son, her position will be secure."

"Your Highness, the brave general is older than you and me..."

"What the Prince Consort said makes sense... What about the illegitimate son of Ning'an Marquis? How is he?"

"...He is a cripple..."

"He is indeed disabled... What about Lord Li's legitimate son? Is that okay?"

Duan Qianliang gritted his teeth and said, "Master Li's legitimate son is a fool..."

The princess frowned: "He's just a little dumber than ordinary people, but he's really a good kid!"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Duan Qianliang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You are too picky," Yongle slammed the teacup heavily, "It is only for the sake of your husband that I care about your affairs."

She was angry, and the servants in the room knelt on the floor. Gu Zhen and Duan Wenjing followed suit and knelt down, shouting in unison: "Mother, calm down."

Under the majesty from the superior, Qu Qiuer's legs went weak and she slid off the chair and knelt on the ground. Her two children knelt behind their mother trembling, feeling that all their future was in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have come to the princess’s mansion.

Duan Qianliang was the only one in the room who could hold on and not kneel. If he compromised and the princess got angry, Tong'er's life would be over.

Yongle looked at the crowd expressionlessly and said, "Well, I'm in a good mood these days. Since I'm not satisfied with any of these marriage proposals, I'll look around a bit. If I can't find one in the capital, I'll ask the royal relatives in the fiefdom to help me look for one. I don't believe that I can't find a marriage that satisfies you!"

Qu Qiuer sat crookedly on the ground, her fingers pinching her palms until they bled. The princess was really going too far!

But in front of the royal family, she didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal, and even knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Princess..."
