Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 145 The Prince's Recommendation

Thinking of the Fifth Princess, the Empress Dowager also had a worried look on her face.

The prince asked with concern: "Why is the Royal Madam frowning? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The Queen Mother put down her salty milk tea and told the prince about her troubles, "It's still Yaliqi's marriage. Originally, your father said that Yaliqi should stay in Beijing, and I was quite happy. I always wanted to choose a perfect match for Yaliqi.

Your father said that the boy from the Tong family is good here and there, and he meets my requirements in every way. Now it's all settled, but the boy from the Tong family got into trouble. Fortunately, no decree was issued, otherwise what would Yaliqi do?"

At this point, the Empress Dowager spoke with a hint of complaint. Although she had never experienced love, she hoped that the Fifth Princess could live a smooth and happy life, pick a good husband, and the couple could live happily together behind closed doors.

But the person Kangxi chose was really not good. It's only been a few days, but his reputation has become so bad. The Empress Dowager doesn't care about Shun Anyan, but how can she be happy if she is associated with the Fifth Princess?

As the instigator behind the scenes, the Crown Prince, who used the Fifth Princess to trip up the eldest prince, listened attentively to the words of the Empress Dowager, without any guilt, and even responded, "Shun Anyan is the best at putting on a show, and even dared to deceive the Emperor. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the Fifth Sister would have suffered."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she thought it made sense. If this incident happened again after the Fifth Princess got married, how would she face people?

Speaking of the Fifth Princess' marriage, the Queen Mother asked casually, "Baocheng, do you know any good candidates? I always feel that the person who approached me a few days ago has bad intentions."

Isn't this just looking for a pillow when you are sleepy? The prince pretended to think for a while, then said hesitantly: "My grandson does have a candidate, but I wonder if he can meet the Royal Madam's wishes."

The Empress Dowager had been trying to get something for nothing, but she didn't expect to get something unexpected. She became excited and urged the Crown Prince, "Baocheng, please introduce him to me."

The prince cleared his throat and asked, "Has the Royal Madam ever heard of Jiang Chen?"

The Empress Dowager had heard of the name Jiang Chen. She was usually not interested in anything but liked to hear some strange things. How could the Empress Dowager not know about the strange story of Jiang Chen, the star of literature descending to the earth? She listened to the little palace maids reading no less than ten books about Jiang Chen.

The Empress Dowager recalled her memories of Jiang Chen and asked uncertainly, "I remember that Jiang Chen was the top scholar in the imperial examination in the 33rd year of his reign. He was one year away from becoming an adult, and the Emperor even gave him a courtesy name. So Jiang Chen is already 25 years old this year. Has he not married yet?"

As a 25-year-old young man, if he had married earlier, his children would be in their teens now. Jiang Chen has not yet married. Either he has a bad fate and is unlucky in marriage, or he has a hidden illness. Neither of the two empress dowagers wants him.

Seeing the resistance on the Empress Dowager's face, the Crown Prince hurriedly introduced Jiang Chen to her: "You don't know, Queen Mother, Jiang Chen has only a widowed mother in his family. It was Lord Li Guangdi who brought him up since he was a child, so he was able to study. Lord Li's mother passed away in the thirty-third year, and Jiang Chen didn't have the heart to think about getting married.

Later, as you know, he followed Lord Li to the river to control floods. How could he have time to see his wife in such a hurry? "

The Queen Mother knew about this, after all, the encounter between Jiang Chen and Li Guangdi was also the focus of the storybook. But since it was related to the Fifth Princess, the Queen Mother couldn't help but complain: "This Li Guangdi delayed Jiang Chen's life."

The prince defended himself, "This just shows that Jiang Chen is a man of love and righteousness. He can treat his mentor to this extent, so he will definitely treat his future wife no worse."

This touched the heart of the Queen Mother. She wanted the Fifth Princess to find someone who cared for her the most. However, the Queen Mother still had to confirm, "Is there really nothing wrong with Jiang Chen? Yaliqi is your sister. You can't cheat her."

The prince assured him again and again, "Can my grandson still deceive the Queen Mother? Jiang Chen definitely doesn't have any hidden illness."

The Queen Mother was skeptical and sent the Prince away. She began to wonder whether Jiang Chen, recommended by the Prince, was really reliable.

The Empress Dowager has never been good at these things, so she can only seek external help - Nanny Su Ma!

Madam Su was hurriedly invited over by the Empress Dowager, and listened to the Empress Dowager's explanation of the whole story.

The Empress Dowager didn't understand, but Su Ma had traveled all over the country with Empress Xiaozhuang and experienced many ups and downs. She saw through the prince's little thoughts at a glance. He must want to win over Jiang Chen by using the fifth princess' marriage.

If someone dared to plot against the Empress Dowager like this, Su Ma would break his bones. But this person happened to be the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had been worried about before her death.

Xiaozhuang had read history books carefully and knew that people's hearts were fickle. There were very few princes who died a happy death in history. She was very afraid that Kangxi and the prince would end up killing each other, so before she died, she repeatedly reminded Kangxi, "Baocheng was raised by you, Xuanye (Kangxi was the reign title, Xuanye was the name), you must remember this father-son relationship."

She also kept reminding the Empress Dowager and Suma, "Xuanye has become more and more skilled in the art of ruling the country over the years. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. I am really afraid that Baocheng will not have a good end when he grows up. Qiqige (the Empress Dowager's name), Suma, remember to remind Xuanye to protect the prince."

The Empress Dowager didn't understand, but Su Ma knew that Kangxi and the Crown Prince had been becoming more and more distant over the years. If Kangxi knew that the Crown Prince wanted to interfere in the Fifth Princess' marriage, he would probably think too much, especially since the Crown Prince's thoughts were not innocent.

But thinking of Empress Xiaozhuang's instructions, Su Ma Ma couldn't help but consider the prince. Su Ma thought for a long time before saying, "This matter still depends on what kind of person Jiang Chen is. I will personally select reliable people to investigate Jiang Chen. If he is really reliable, then we can consider it."

The Queen Mother trusted Suma. She knew that Suma had her reasons for what she did, and she would never make mistakes. The Queen Mother nodded and let Suma go to dispatch people.

Su Ma acted quickly, and Jiang Chen's base was in Beijing, so it didn't take long for her to get the investigation results.

Su Ma looked at Jiang Chen's information carefully with a critical eye, and finally had to admit that Jiang Chen was indeed a good candidate. It seemed that the prince still had some conscience and did not push the fifth princess into the fire pit.

Su Ma wanted to find the Empress Dowager with satisfaction, but before she entered the gate of Ningshou Palace, she met someone who had been waiting for her.

Su Ma was a little surprised and greeted the visitor, "I greet the Fifth Princess, may the Fifth Princess be blessed."

The Fifth Princess, who heard from the people in Ningshou Palace that the Crown Prince recommended Jiang Chen, knew that Su Ma was the only person who could influence the Empress Dowager's decision, so she blocked Su Ma's mother on the way.

The Fifth Princess said nervously, "Madam Suma, you don't have to be so polite. I have something to ask you. Do you have time?"

Madam Su vaguely guessed the Fifth Princess's intention and said, "I will obey your orders."
