Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

At this time, in the imperial study in the palace.

Crown Prince Xuan Haotian was kneeling on the ground. "Father, I beg for your permission."

Emperor Yuanwu sat in front of his desk, looking at the prince kneeling on the ground, without saying a word.

Prime Minister Su was the first supporter when he killed his elder brother, the Crown Prince, and announced his ascension to the throne. Because of this, Prime Minister Su became the current Prime Minister Su, and Prime Minister Su has been working diligently for the court for so many years. It was just that the Crown Prince broke off his engagement with Prime Minister Su's eldest daughter Su Luoxue. Why is it that the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Su's second daughter are arranged to marry each other? Isn't it inappropriate?

Xuan Haotian seemed to see his father's hesitation.

Then he said: "Father, the reason why I broke off my engagement with Su Luoxue was because she lost her virginity. A woman who is not clean cannot be included in the royal family. But Su Qingrou is different. She is both virtuous and talented, gentle and kind, virtuous, gentle and honest, and beautiful. Who among the people in the capital does not praise the second young lady in Prime Minister Su's mansion? Father, such a woman is the best candidate for my son's crown princess."

Su Qingrou's reputation as a Taoist was indeed well-known in the capital, and Emperor Yuanwu had heard of it even though he was in the palace.

"Eunuch Jiang, please draft the decree!" Emperor Yuanwu said to an eunuch beside him.

When Xuan Haotian saw that his father had agreed, he kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Okay, you can go back! The imperial edict will be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." Emperor Yuanwu said and sent Xuan Haotian away.

And Su Qingrou in the Prime Minister's Mansion finally received the news sent by Xuan Haotian at dinner time after a long wait.

She asked Qinglian uncertainly what the visitor from the Prince's Mansion said.

"Miss, the person who came said that the imperial decree granting marriage will arrive tomorrow." Qinglian said.

Su Qingrou held her chest tightly, her heart seemed to jump out of her throat. She tried hard to calm her restless emotions, but still couldn't hide her inner ecstasy and excitement.

After catching her breath a little, she couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up! Let's go and pay our respects to our mother!" As she spoke, her steps became lighter and she ran towards her destination like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Zhang, who had heard the good news, was overjoyed and smiled. She secretly thought that her precious daughter was about to ascend the throne of the Crown Princess and would be the mother of the country in the future! It was worth it for her to climb to the position of the Prime Minister's wife; she also carefully cultivated her daughter to make her outstanding, and her reputation for kindness and virtue spread abroad, and she even carefully planned to frame Su Luoxue and ruin her reputation... All these efforts have finally paid off!

After years of hard work, the preparations finally paid off. When the Emperor issues the marriage decree tomorrow and announces it to the world, my daughter will be able to securely take the position of Crown Princess! Thinking of this, Zhang couldn't help but feel overjoyed and extremely proud.

That Su Luoxue, even if she became the adopted daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, what would it matter? And that vixen-like Aunt Zhao, it would be in vain to seduce her own master again! After all, they are just humble and lowly people, and now all of this can no longer enter Zhang's eyes!

Zhang held Su Qingrou's hand tightly and said softly, "Let's go to the old lady." Then she turned to the maid standing beside her and ordered, "Go to Ningcui Pavilion quickly and tell the master to come to the old lady's Anshou Hall as soon as possible." As soon as she finished speaking, she led Su Qingrou away.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Anshou Hall was peaceful and tranquil. The old lady had just enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and was leisurely tasting the West Lake Longjing tea carefully brewed by the maid. At this moment, Zhang and Su Qingrou stepped into the room and walked straight to the old lady.

"Mother, please accept my daughter-in-law's greetings! I have come to tell you a piece of good news today." Zhang said impatiently as soon as she entered the room. She could not hide her excitement in her words, as if she had some great news to share with the old lady.

"Happy event?" Upon hearing this, the old lady slowly put down the teacup in her hand, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and looked at Nanny Zhou standing beside her. The latter hurriedly stepped forward and handed a clean handkerchief to the old lady. The old lady wiped her hands gently, as if to calm down the waves in her heart.

After a moment's silence, the old lady asked, "There hasn't been any happy event in this mansion for a long time. What good news is it? Tell me about it." Her voice was calm and gentle, but her eyes revealed anticipation and curiosity.

Zhang could not hide her excitement and replied impatiently, "Mother, the emperor has ordered the marriage between the prince and Qingrou! This is a great honor! The imperial edict will be delivered to our house tomorrow!" Her face was full of smiles and her eyes were shining with joy.

"What?" The old lady was obviously a little surprised. She frowned and asked with a little doubt: "Is the news true?"

At this time, Su Qingrou, who had been standing silently by the side, took a step forward and said softly: "Grandma, it is true. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just sent an envoy to inform you of this." As she spoke, she lowered her head, a shy blush appeared on her face, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

"The master is here." The little maid at the door respectfully lifted the door curtain and shouted at the top of her voice.

"Master." Upon hearing the voice, Zhang stood up hurriedly and looked at Prime Minister Su who walked in with a smile on her face.

"My daughter greets my father." Su Qingrou, who was standing by, did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed and saluted to Prime Minister Su.

"I heard everything outside the door just now. Are you serious about what you said?" Prime Minister Su stared at Zhang and Su Qingrou with a stern face.

"To answer my lord father, this is absolutely true! It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally sent someone to deliver the news." Su Qingrou tried hard to suppress the joy in her heart, and answered softly in a calm voice.

"Well, that's very good!" Prime Minister Su smiled happily after hearing this. He kept nodding and praising, while heavily patting the armrest of the chair next to him.

You know, just last month, his eldest daughter Su Luoxue's engagement was ruthlessly cancelled by the royal family because she lost her virginity. This incident made him lose face and became a laughing stock among the ministers in the court. Even his political opponents who usually didn't get along with him were gloating behind his back.

In fact, Prime Minister Su had always been aware of the dealings between Su Qingrou and the Crown Prince, as Zhang had secretly told him the news.

However, now that he knew that his daughter could get a marriage granted by His Majesty the Emperor, the situation was completely different. Once Su Qingrou became the Crown Princess, she would definitely ascend to the throne of Queen in the future, and as her father, he would naturally become the father-in-law of the emperor.

This also helped him choose his side. Before, he did not take sides with any of the princes, but now he should consider standing on the side of the crown prince.

At this moment, he was looking at Su Qingrou and liked her more and more.

"Okay, Qingrou, you should go back and have a good rest. Dress up beautifully tomorrow to receive the imperial edict." Prime Minister Su said as he looked at his daughter who made him proud.

"Yes, father." Su Qingrou replied obediently.

Then, Prime Minister Su turned to Zhang and said, "Madam, you and my daughter have been working hard in this house over the years. Let's go back and rest early!"

Zhang was delighted, because her master had not been to her yard for almost a month since her face was poisoned last time.

The three of them stood up, said goodbye to the old lady, and went back to rest.
