Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng
Chapter 272: The Wife of Anyang Marquis's Wishful Thinking
Anyang Marquis Mansion.
"Master, have you heard the rumors outside? The ninth princess of Tartar is going to marry a foreign prince. How about letting Chen'er marry her?"
The wife of Marquis Anyang said.
"Madam, Chen'er is only thirteen years old. Is he too young? Will the princess like him?"
Marquis Anyang said with some concern.
My son is only thirteen years old, the princess will like such a young man. Moreover, my son has been engaged to the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. If he regrets it, the Minister of Personnel will definitely make things difficult for him.
For some unknown reason, the prince started targeting him after returning from Taizhou.
He had been demoted from Minister of Rites to a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Shrines, and his salary had been reduced from 55 taels to 35 taels. He was now a laughing stock among the ministers in the court.
"How could I not like her? Isn't the Ninth Princess also thirteen years old? We are the same age, so we will have a lot of common topics."
The wife of Marquis Anyang did not think there was anything wrong with it at all. Her son was the crown prince, and he was handsome and talented. There were countless rich and famous ladies in the capital who wanted to marry him.
"But we are engaged to the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. It would be bad to go back on our word like this."
Marquis Anyang was still somewhat nervous, and the Minister of History was not someone who was easy to talk to.
"Why should we be embarrassed? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. If there is a good choice, we will definitely choose the good one. Besides, we are not going to cancel the engagement. After marrying the Ninth Princess as the Crown Prince's consort, we can take his daughter as a concubine, which is the same thing."
Lady Anyang Marquis said this without any embarrassment. Between the princess and the maid's daughter, the princess would definitely be chosen.
Besides, what's wrong with being a concubine? Wasn't she also the master's concubine? She even killed the eldest princess and took the position of Anyang Marquis's wife.
As long as you have ambition and scheming, you can kill the mistress of the house.
She doesn't care who becomes the Crown Prince's Consort, as long as that person can help her son and the Marquis's Mansion, she can become the Crown Prince's Consort.
"Hey, Master, don't worry about it. I will take care of everything. You should go to the study to handle official business. Don't let the emperor catch you again."
After the Marquis’s wife finished speaking, she pushed Marquis Anyang away.
The wife of Marquis Anyang was Aunt Du back then. She and Marquis Anyang had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Wei Mingchen, is 13 years old this year. The second daughter, Wei Mingzhu, is 12 years old this year. The third son, Wei Mingxuan, is 9 years old this year.
Wei Mingchen and Wei Mingxuan both studied at the Imperial College.
"Someone, go to the Imperial College and ask the prince to come back!"
The wife of Marquis Anyang said to the steward.
"Yes, ma'am!"
After the steward finished speaking, he drove the carriage to the Imperial College to take the prince back home.
The steward quickly took the prince back to the mansion.
"Mother, what's the matter with you looking for your son?"
Wei Mingchen returned to the Marquis' Mansion and asked his mother with a confused look on his face.
"Son, do you know about the Ninth Princess' marriage?"
The Marquis's wife asked her son straight to the point.
"I know. Why did mother ask that?"
Wei Mingchen still asked his mother in confusion.
"I want you to marry the Ninth Princess. What do you think?"
The Marquis’s wife asked her son.
"Ninth Princess? Of course, we are engaged to Xiao Ya, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. How can we marry the Ninth Princess?"
The Ninth Princess is of noble status, so of course I can marry her.
But he had already been engaged to Xiao Ya, and the whole capital knew about it, so it would be bad for him to go back on his word. Moreover, he had already had a relationship with Xiao Ya, and if he didn't marry her, he would be insulted, and it would also affect his career.
"What's the big deal? Wait until you marry the Ninth Princess and then take her as your aunt. It will be the same."
Mrs. Hou said.
"Mom is right. I'll make the final decision on everything!"
Wei Mingchen agreed.
After marrying the princess, he would be the prince consort of Tatar. If he couldn't make it here, he could go to live in Tatar.
So, both of them were daydreamers, and they had already considered what would happen after they got married before they even had a chance to plan their future.
At the General's Mansion, Murong Shuo also heard about the princess's marriage.
He went back to the general's mansion and told the Sun family and the Huo family the news that his sister and parents were coming back. He also told them about the marriage of the ninth princess of the Tatar Kingdom.
"Oh my God! A princess is going to marry?"
Zhang Chan said with a look of disbelief.
The princess is of noble status, yet she needs to come here from afar to marry. What does her father think?
Zhuang Die also found it unbelievable. Shouldn't princesses marry princes and ministers? Coming all the way here to marry, isn't this sending herself into the tiger's mouth? No, that's wrong. Daliang is not a tiger.
"What's so strange about this? They lost the war, so for the sake of peace, they will definitely send their princess here to marry."
Murong Shuo explained.
"If we lost the war, would our emperor also send the princess to marry?"
Zhuang Die asked Murong Shuo half-understandingly.
Everyone present was looking at Murong Shuo, waiting for his answer.
"I don't think so. I don't know. We can't speculate on the grace of God at will. Don't ask this question anymore, and don't tell others. It might bring disaster."
Murong Shuo said warningly.
If people knew that they were trying to figure out the emperor's intentions, their father's enemies would definitely use this as an excuse to bring disaster to the general's mansion.
After hearing this, everyone felt panicked and scared.
Why do I have to be so nervous even when speaking here? There is no freedom.
In the village, everyone can speak freely, as long as they don't say bad things about the county magistrate.
However, they all felt sympathy for the princess in their hearts. Being a princess was actually no better than them. At least their daughters would not be given away as gifts to others.
