A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The first day of the Lunar New Year is a day to visit relatives and friends and wish them a happy New Year. Especially in the palace, there are many red tapes. Early in the morning, whether it is the master or the servant, they are either greeting this person or greeting that person, and everyone is busy and happy.

At noon, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had lunch in the Queen's Qingning Palace. They didn't talk while eating or sleeping, and the three of them basically didn't say anything during the meal.

After the meal, when the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were about to leave, the Queen asked the Crown Prince to stay first, saying that she had something to discuss with him. The Crown Princess left first.

The maid served tea to the mother and son and left. The queen took a sip of tea and said, "Ze'er, at the palace banquet last night, Lord Wang wanted to marry his daughter to Han Qingshan. Do you think Han Qingshan will agree in the end?"

The prince said without hesitation: "I don't think so. The Han family are all upright and disdain to form cliques. That's why they have been stationed at the border for these years and are unwilling to return to Beijing. They just don't want to be involved in the disputes of the court."

The Queen asked, "Then why did he take the initiative to ask the Emperor to stay in the capital this time?"

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of the engagement! I see that he is very kind to the woman sitting next to him. That woman must be his fiancée."

The Queen said: "So, Ze'er, if we want to win him over, that woman is absolutely the key!"

The prince asked, "Mother, do you mean that we should get closer to that woman first?"

The queen shook her head, "No, didn't you notice? That woman and Shen Qingqian seem to have a very close relationship. What I mean is, we should win over Shen Qingqian first. If Shen Qingqian becomes our person, and we ask her to recruit Han Qingshan, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!"

The prince had known Shen Qingqian for a long time, and also knew the relationship between Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen. If Shen Qingqian could really become Zhao Yichen's woman in the end, then there would be no need for them to win her over, Shen Qingqian would naturally become a member of their side, because Zhao Yichen had always been helping him.

But the prince also didn't know what the relationship between Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen was like now? Are they still in contact?

"Mother, how do you plan to win over Shen Qingqian?"

The queen glanced at her son and said, "Your Majesty, I think Shen Qingqian is a man of both literary and martial talents. She has great potential. Ze'er, there is only the Crown Princess in your house now. Why don't you take Shen Qingqian as your concubine? In this way, not only..."

“Puchi! Cough... cough!”

Before the queen could finish her words, the prince spat out the tea he had just taken.

The queen didn't know what was wrong with him and quickly patted him on the back.

"Zer, are you okay? Ouch, you're not a child, how come you choked while drinking tea?"

The prince waved his hands and said, "Mother, no, I was shocked by what you said."

The queen was puzzled and asked, "I just wanted to take a concubine. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

The prince didn't want to tell anyone about Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen at first. After all, they hadn't even started dating yet, and it would be bad for their reputation if it got out. But now, his mother wanted to arrange a match for them, and he had no choice but to tell anyone!

"No, mother, I actually knew Shen Qingqian a long time ago. At that time, she was not a county lady, nor a general. She was just a peasant girl."

"what?"

The queen was surprised, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

The prince said, "Because I met Shen Qingqian at my fifth brother's house, and her relationship with my fifth brother seemed a little unusual. The reason why I didn't mention it was because their relationship had not been confirmed yet, and it was inconvenient for me to say it."

The queen was even more surprised, but she quickly said with shining eyes: "If Shen Qingqian really has a good relationship with Yi Chen, then she is already on our side!"

The prince said, "But isn't my fifth brother in the capital now? I'm not sure if the two of them are still in contact now!"

The Queen seemed very confident, "Yi Chen rarely gets close to a girl. Since he has set his sights on Shen Qingqian, he will not give up easily.

Furthermore, when Shen Qingqian was just a peasant girl, he still fell in love with her. Now that Shen Qingqian's status has become countless times more important, how could he easily cut off contact with her?

How about this, your mother talked to your father last night about holding a spring banquet, and she will start making arrangements in a few days, and invite Shen Qingqian and Han Qingshan's fiancée to come, and test their opinions first."

The prince nodded in agreement, as long as his mother no longer let Shen Qingqian be her concubine. Otherwise, when the fifth brother comes back, he will settle the score with him!

In Chunhua Palace, Concubine Dong and the Third Princess told the Second Prince about the grudge between them and Shen Qingqian.

When talking about Shen Qingqian, the third princess was still very angry.

"That bitch Shen Qingqian was very arrogant before. She even looked down upon a princess like me. Now, she has become a general. She will definitely be even more arrogant! Brother, you must help me kill her, or I will not be able to swallow this anger!"

The second prince narrowed his eyes, thinking back to last night's Shen Qingqian. After a moment, he said, "Mother, sister, how about I take Shen Qingqian as my concubine and make her ours? What do you think?"

"what?"

"what?"

Concubine Dong and the third princess exclaimed at the same time.

"I don't agree!"

"I disagree!"

These words were spoken by two people at the same time.

The second prince explained: "Mother, sister, the reason why you hate Shen Qingqian so much is because of her relationship with Zhao Yichen. Zhao Yichen is just a dog beside the prince, and he has always stood on the opposite side of us.

If I marry Shen Qingqian as my concubine, it would be equivalent to stealing Zhao Yichen's girl.

Furthermore, if Shen Qingqian becomes one of ours, she can be used by us, and the conflict between us and you will naturally be resolved. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

"No! Second brother, that woman is just a country woman, how can she be worthy of you? Besides, I don't want to become a family with such a lowly person!"

The third princess couldn't wait to object, her lips were almost pouted to the sky!

Concubine Dong also said: "Ming'er, things are not as simple as you think, Shen Qingqian is not that easy to control!

Moreover, I have some doubts about her identity. It's fine for a peasant girl to have made achievements on the battlefield. But you saw her performance last night. Is that something a girl who grew up in the countryside can do?"

After Concubine Dong said this, the Second Prince also fell into deep thought and said, "My Queen Mother is suspecting that Shen Qingqian was originally arranged by the Crown Prince and Zhao Yichen?"
