The Return of the Marquis's Daughter
Chapter 209: Great Victory in Northern Frontier
"How could he play around in front of His Majesty? Of course, he has to take the affairs of state as his top priority.
Besides, His Majesty has to show this memorial to the court officials. If they knew An'er was talking about some trivial things in it, wouldn't it only cause more trouble and make people laugh at him? "
"Who has the guts to do this? Do we still need their approval for what's going on between us father and son?"
The emperor was so excited today that he couldn't help feeling complacent. After reading the letter handed to him by Concubine Shu, he felt very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the brat remembered to greet his father at the end of the letter.
It's been a while since I went to northern Xinjiang, and it's time to come back.
After thinking this, the emperor looked at Concubine Shu, "In that case, his wedding date should be set first. What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
"I will listen to Your Majesty. I will do whatever Your Majesty says." Concubine Shu said with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and joy was everywhere.
The emperor became happier as he looked at her.
This is the character of Concubine Shu, she will never make him feel disappointed or uncomfortable.
While Gu Changan was still in the northern border, the emperor had already issued an order to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Prince An’s wedding!
The wedding date was set for September 16, a good day according to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
Qin Wenlan: ...
It felt very sudden. The emperor said the wedding was postponed because of the war in the northern border, but there were still many people whispering behind his back.
They thought that the royal family was not satisfied with this marriage, and some families even wanted to try the relationship with Concubine Shu. If Miss Qin could not marry Prince An, their family had plenty of noble ladies.
Prince An had always been a very low-key and cold person. He was not really that outstanding among the other princes.
Of course, because there was King Yu behind him, not many people pointed fingers at him.
But after he married Miss Qin, he suddenly came into everyone's sight. No one expected that such a taciturn person would be so decisive in doing things and would change people as soon as he said so.
In addition, after Prince An got engaged to Miss Qin, he treated her with great courtesy and respect, and was thoughtful and considerate in every way, which made many people regret it.
How could the Qin family's daughter have gotten there first? Could it be that a woman who grew up in the Qin family's manor was more outstanding than the noble lady in their family? If anyone was going to change, it should be their daughter.
This time the emperor issued an edict to postpone the wedding date, which made some people think that it was because Prince An showed his ability that the emperor was now regretting the marriage.
The first to bear the brunt were the women of the Wen family, who spread rumors everywhere.
This is good. Prince An has not returned yet, but the emperor has already set the wedding date.
Many people were dissatisfied and secretly said that it was because Concubine Shu whispered in His Majesty's ears.
There were rumors everywhere outside, but it was just because Prince An had made great achievements on the battlefield in the northern border that he instantly became a hot commodity.
Such a coveted commodity fell into the hands of someone like Qin Wenlan, and no one else could snatch it away. Now he could only vent his resentment towards her, Qin Wenlan.
Qin Wenlan didn't take Lihua's words about what happened outside to heart at all. How could this be considered a big deal?
What she encountered in her previous life was much more unpleasant than what she encountered now, but she still lived through it. What's more, it's this life, so she just doesn't want to listen.
When has the world not been ruled by the strength of fists? Is it great to be able to talk big?
Qin Wenlan didn't care at all. Of course, her appearance didn't mean that the Qin Hou Mansion and the Min family were all like this.
After the third and fourth wives of Marquis Qin's mansion knew this, they were really furious. Recently, the two of them frequently went out to attend parties and went around to clear Qin Wenlan's name.
As the Min family was a merchant family, they had no real access to the noble circle in the capital, which made the women very anxious.
"Mother, we just can't swallow this. We can't bear to hear them slandering our baby like this." Jiang and Xiang said angrily.
Old Madam Min looked at her two daughters-in-law in front of her and was about to say a few words of advice.
Then I heard my Baoer's voice coming from the door, "Aunt, aunt, no matter what they say to me, I won't lose a piece of meat because of it.
Besides, even if they told me, could they still help me marry into Prince An's mansion? They would just take advantage of me with their words, could they really ruin the matter?"
"That's not possible." Xiang directly continued.
"They are like this to me day by day, and I am still the same. There is no missing piece, nor is there an extra piece. These people are just sour grapes because they can't eat them.
After all, in the eyes of others, such a marriage really means we have gotten a bargain.
After all, in their eyes, I am a truly vulgar woman who grew up in the Qin family manor.
Compared with these noble ladies in the capital, she is really not good enough. How can they not be jealous?
When people are jealous, they will act like crazy. This is human nature, isn't it? Anyone would be like this.
Since they didn't get this good marriage, can't they say some sour words? That would be too overbearing.
Xiang:……
Jiang:……
Madam Min: ...
"But, Baoer, they are spreading rumors and causing trouble like this, which is bad for your reputation!" Xiang said angrily.
Qin Wenlan looked at his two aunts in front of him, and the more he looked at them, the more he found them cute.
Then he said with a smile: "How can one live without being gossiped about? Even gods have villains who slander them behind their backs.
What's more, the more we ordinary people can remain calm and composed, the more helpless and angry those gossipers will become, and we can't do what they want.
The more they talk nonsense like this, the more they want to throw us off our feet so they can take advantage of us."
After hearing what Qin Wenlan said, Xiang and Jiang immediately felt ashamed. They were already so old, but they needed a child to persuade them.
Everyone became thoughtful.
Old Madam Min listened and watched with great joy and was extremely satisfied.
It’s great that my granddaughter is a hundred times better than my daughter was back then!
This way, we won't have to worry about her having a bad life anymore. The most important thing for a woman is to be able to stand on her own feet. Otherwise, no matter how powerful her family is, it will be in vain.
What's more, their family is just a merchant family. Even if they have a lot of money, it is really not enough in this capital city where everyone is an official!
