Chapter 396: The Foolish Sister Who Married a Younger Sister (18)
The courtyard arranged for Qu Qiuer and her two sons was in the farthest corner of the princess's mansion, and at this moment, intermittent cries could be heard from there.
Ever since the princess got angry that day, they hadn't dared to get close to her for seven or eight days.
But the princess really took this matter to heart and almost every day she had people bring several lists, all of which were filled with eligible men in the capital.
If they weren't so ambitious, there would really be a few suitable people among them. With Tan Yuetong's conditions, marrying her would definitely provide her with a stable life.
But Tan Yuetong didn't want to!
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at Duan Qianliang: "Dad! You must save our daughter. The princess has bad intentions and is deliberately letting our daughter jump into the fire pit. You can't just sit there and do nothing! Wuuuuu..."
She cried heartbreakingly, and Tan Yuetong's eyes were red and swollen with bloodshot, obviously she didn't get enough rest.
Qu Qiuer was in a similar situation, her face was visibly haggard. She never expected the princess to be so overbearing and strong, and to meddle in other people's affairs!
It seems like he is determined to take care of it to the end.
Duan Qianliang's forehead was throbbing with veins seeing his woman and daughter crying like this. He couldn't find any reason to argue with the marriage chosen by the princess these days. However, Qu Qiuer and Tan Yuetong believed that the princess looked down on them and refused to agree.
Duan Qianliang couldn't force the princess to be a matchmaker for someone like the prince, right?
Yongle would humiliate them mercilessly.
"Just bear with it a little longer. The princess won't force Tong'er to get on the bridal sedan..."
Qu Qiuer collapsed: "Of course not! She could do it! If my Tong'er married a widower or some weird man, I would die!"
She cried for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "I went to talk to Gu Zhen yesterday. She was hesitant and said that the prince was getting better day by day, and she wanted to wait for the medicine. In my opinion, it's a waste of time to count on her. Why don't we do it ourselves?"
Duan Qianliang's silence and Gu Zhen's hesitation were normal reactions. If she agreed immediately, it would arouse suspicion.
This made him feel more relaxed again.
Do it yourself……
"The mansion is now managed by Jing'er's wife. She is the daughter of a seventh-rank official and has some tricks up her sleeve. The mansion is well connected. Even the people in my yard have been replaced without anyone noticing, but I have no way to stop them!"
Not to mention that several of his trusted confidants who had been buried under humiliation and endured hardships for more than a decade had already changed jobs. Now that the relationship between them was in turmoil, it would be difficult to employ them again.
Qu Qiuer is in despair, is there no solution?
Tan Yuetong burst into tears, "Dad! You said you would let me marry in style. I really don't want to be married to those people!"
"…The New Year is coming soon. We will wait until the mansion is busy and then we can act accordingly." Duan Qianliang couldn't bear to see his daughter like this, and after much hesitation he finally made the decision.
Qu Qiuer and Tan Yuetong looked at each other and stopped crying at the same time.
Duan Qianliang's eyes gradually became fierce: "Jing'er has stopped taking medicine recently. I'm afraid ordinary things will be useless to him. I'm going to find some strong medicine and try to kill him with one shot!"
It's not that he is cruel, but having come this far, there is no turning back.
Duan Qianliang was tired of having to live under the princess's control. Once she and Jing'er died, the empress dowager and the emperor would be kind and would surely pity him for the loss of his wife and son and would reassign him a noble job or a title.
By then, everything in the princess's mansion will be his.
Duan Qianliang closed his eyes and felt a momentary pain in his heart. After all, Jing'er was his biological son and his condition had improved greatly. It would be a pity if he died.
……
Three days before New Year's Eve, an elder in the royal family had a new baby. Yongle took Gu Zhen to congratulate the baby. Before leaving, he met Qu Qiuer and her daughter by chance.
Qu Qiuer shamelessly asked Yongle to bring Tan Yuetong with him, "Princess, take her to see the world, it will be of great benefit to her throughout her life."
Yongle raised his eyebrows. Prince Lian was her uncle and had many children and grandchildren in his family. There were two legitimate sons and three illegitimate sons of marriageable age. No matter who they were, it was a marriage that Tan Yuetong could never reach.
Yongle looked at his daughter-in-law and let her speak. Qu Qiuer and her daughter had been under great pressure recently, and their minds had become active. They often asked her about the princes and nobles in the capital.
When I heard that you were going to Prince Lian’s mansion to congratulate him, he would definitely come to me.
Then bring it with you.
"Follow me, and don't talk too much. Don't embarrass me."
Tan Yuetong was overjoyed, her eyes shining.
Yongle took her and Gu Zhen onto the carriage, their soft whispers ringing in his ears.
Tan Yuetong has a strong desire for knowledge and can't stop talking about Prince Lian's Mansion.
"I heard that the emperor was so gracious that he granted me an additional title?"
Gu Zhen smiled: "Prince Lian and the Crown Prince have made great military achievements. The second son of the mansion is the most talented man in the capital. The third and fourth sons both hold important positions in the court. It is only right that the emperor favors them."
The family of Prince Lian, the most respected person in the royal family, are all good men.
The Crown Prince has not yet inherited the title, but he has already had several sons. The eldest one gave birth to a daughter today, which is a top priority in the prince's mansion which is full of children and grandchildren.
It is the dream of many noble ladies in Beijing to marry into such a noble and upright royal family.
After asking around, Tan Yuetong finally set her sights on the youngest son of the Crown Prince.
She crumpled her handkerchief, not knowing whether she could meet the foreign man smoothly today?
The Princess's Palace and the Prince's Palace were not far away, and before Tan Yuetong could come up with a plan, the carriage arrived.
The entrance was bustling with activity. When the eldest princess' carriage arrived, everyone made way for it. The servants stood in a row at the entrance. The greetings made Tan Yuetong in the carriage tremble with fear.
This is the inherent aura of the royal family, which makes her extremely yearning for it.
Tan Yuetong tightened the belt of her cloak and followed the princess and Gu Zhen out of the carriage.
The Crown Prince's Consort came out to greet him personally, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes curved: "Yongle is finally here. I have been waiting for so long. Oh, this is the daughter-in-law you praised so much? She is really very impressive. Look at this child, how lovable she is!"
The Crown Prince's Consort pulled Gu Zhen over affectionately, praising her to the skies in a way that made people feel comfortable. She didn't even look at Tan Yuetong, which made her a little disappointed.
Princess Yongle and Gu Zhen had no intention of introducing her.
Tan Yuetong had no choice but to follow behind, not leaving his side at all.
Yongle entered the main room and bowed respectfully to the old princess consort of Prince Lian. The old princess was old and squinted for a long time before she recognized that it was Princess Yongle.
She waved her hand cheerfully, "Xiao Sui Sui, come and sit here with your aunt."
Yongle's face turned slightly red. Even the empress dowager didn't call him by this nickname much, but the old princess called him by it vigorously.
She pulled Gu Zhen over to sit with her, "Aunt, this is Yongle's daughter-in-law, brought here to greet you, Zhen'er, call someone."
"Hello, great aunt." Gu Zhen performed the standard etiquette.
The old princess liked young and pretty girls, and she pulled Gu Zhen aside to ask her all sorts of questions.
The room was filled with laughter, but Tan Yuetong stood in the corner, feeling uneasy and out of place here.
But I really hope to be a part of it.
The royal decency is eye-opening.
