No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Nian Qiuyue thought for a long time, and finally let go of her shyness and told Mrs. Nian the results of her observations.

"The second son of the Niohuru family?" Mrs. Nian immediately remembered who it was.

After all, the most popular family in the capital right now is the Nianhulu clan, which is the Empress's family.

The Qing Dynasty had not had a living empress for a long time, especially this empress who had six legitimate sons including the crown prince, and was deeply loved by the Emperor.

Ever since Niuhuru married Xilin Gioro, good things have happened one after another.

Not only did he get a queen's daughter for free, he also got an outstanding eldest son who made countless contributions.

The second child doesn't have much reputation and seems not as outstanding as his older brothers and sisters.

But it's the same in big families.

The eldest son is trained to take care of the family, while the younger son can be happy and be himself.

When Madam Nian was young, she was the wife in charge of the family. Only she knew how many troubles she had to deal with.

Her health was not good, and the hardships she suffered in her youth were largely to blame.

As for her daughter, she naturally wanted her to find a youngest son from a strong family and live happily doing what she likes.

Now that Nian Qiuyue has spoken, she will not be shy anymore.

She figured it out. She had met Niu Hulu Mingchen twice before, so his appearance was naturally impeccable.

Even compared to Niu Hulu Mingheng, his appearance was more popular with little girls.

Especially since he has a gentle personality, I think it would be nice to get along with him.

"Mother, what do you think?" She raised her head and looked at Madam Nian openly.

Madam Nian smiled and said, "Okay, very good."

It is certainly a good thing to want to pursue your own happiness, and she fully supports it.

And through this incident, she also confirmed that with her daughter's intelligence, she would live a good life no matter who she married.

She smiled and reminded him, "But since this person has such an excellent family background, character, and personality, there must be many people eyeing him."

"Mother will help you find someone to pass on the message. Whether they agree or not depends on what the Niuhulu Mansion thinks."

"You should also take this time to think about whether there are other candidates..."

"Mother, please take care of this first and don't think about anything else," Nian Qiuyue said firmly.

Since she has chosen this person, she will certainly not be indecisive and consider others.

However, if the Niuhulu Mansion had clearly refused, she would not have insisted on going ahead.

After getting her daughter's approval, Mrs. Nian started looking for someone to help pass the message that day.

Fortunately, Nian Xialing has been an official for so long and has always been kind to others, so he always has some friendship with his colleagues.

Finally, they found an elder from the same clan as Niuhulu and asked his wife to pass the message to Niuhulu's old lady.

Old Lady Niuhulu has recently received many messages from people who are optimistic about her second grandson and want to ask her opinion.

She pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not give any definite information. She just received everyone politely and sent them back safely.

As soon as this lady left, old lady Nianhulu called Xilin Jueluo and Zhang Ruoyu over.

"I vaguely remember that the eldest daughter of the Nian family came to our house?" She told the story and specifically mentioned Nian Qiuyue.

Zhang Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and quickly responded, "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law is her close friend and she once invited her over to talk."

She thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember any interactions between Nian Qiuyue and Mingchen.

In this case, it seems that the proposal of marriage was the idea of the elders in the family.

"You have been together before, what do you think of this little girl?" Old Lady Niuhulu asked worriedly.

Zhang Ruoyu naturally thought that Nian Qiuyue was very outstanding, but since this was related to her brother-in-law's marriage, she couldn't interfere.

She didn't rush to speak, but looked at Xilin Jueluo.

Xilin Jueluo had also met Nian Qiuyue and had a good impression of her: "This girl is outstanding in appearance and well-spoken. She is a good girl."

She has grown a lot over the years and no longer judges people by their appearance.

Through her several contacts, she felt that Nian Qiuyue was indeed a good girl and was more than qualified to be with Mingchen.

Madam Niu Hulu said, "More and more people have been talking about Mingchen recently. If we don't settle his marriage, I'm afraid it will become more and more troublesome."

"Our family is already flourishing, so I think Mingchen shouldn't choose someone from a wealthy family."

This Nian family is quite good, but no one else in her family is as good as her.

Especially since her father has retired, no matter how high an official he held before, it doesn’t matter.

Her two brothers were both Jinshi, but their official ranks were not very high.

Such a noble family is their best choice at the moment.

Xilin Jueluo had no reason to be picky about her daughter-in-law's family background. After all, her own family background was not high.

She would still feel uncomfortable if she really found a wife with a very good family background.

But she still wanted Mingchen's wife to get along with him, so she hesitated and said, "I still have to ask Mingchen's opinion. After all, Mingheng has found someone he likes, and he can't just settle down so hastily..."

As soon as she said this, Zhang Ruoyu's face turned red.

After all, being told that her husband likes her in front of her mother-in-law and great-grandmother is a bit... embarrassing.

"Then you ask him. If he agrees, you can ask someone to propose marriage to him last year," old lady Niuhulu made the decision directly.

She has been a decisive person since she was young, and she still has the same charm as before even though she is older.

Now that we have realized that there is some risk, we must cut the Gordian knot.

Even if someone talked about it, it was because they supported the policies of the Emperor and talked about marriage early on.

As long as they don't cause trouble for the Empress in the palace, the good days of their Niuhuru family are still ahead.

Xilin Jueluo took Zhang Ruoyu to find Mingchen, who was tinkering with the distillation of roses.

Xilin Jueluo felt dizzy when she saw them: "Oh, Chen'er, these roses were grown with great effort in the greenhouse."

"Your father said he would send it to the palace in a couple of days to be given to your sister as a reward, and you're already giving it up?"

She really had a headache. Chen'er was not stupid, but he didn't spend much time studying or practicing martial arts. He just liked to tinker with some small gadgets.

Some time ago, I liked doing handicrafts. I carved a lot of lifelike little animals and gave them to everyone in the family. I made the old lady smile so much.

Lately, I've become obsessed with making floral dew.

It's only early spring, where can we find so many flowers for him to try?

So, he set his eyes on the flowers in the greenhouse of Shangwenquan Manor.

I am completely in the dark!

Mingchen smiled brightly: "Mother, I made some flower dew and gave it to you. You are so happy~"
