My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Fu Zhiming swallowed the wine, chuckled and stopped talking.

Fu Zhizhuo frowned, looking at the Second Young Master of the Shu Palace, and sneered in a low voice: "Look, someone is getting anxious!"

The four brothers of the Fu family looked up at the second young master of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, then lowered their heads in tacit understanding and poured themselves a glass of wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, Fu Zhijian started talking about the affairs of the court again.

There has been no major events in the court recently. Except for a few princes who are still fighting openly and secretly as usual, the situation can be considered calm.

After all, everyone has gotten used to it in recent years.

If the princes don't make trouble for each other or impeach each other one day, it will not be called a court session.

They are all used to it.

Somehow we ended up talking about the future in-laws of the second son of the Prince of Shu, the Guan family.

The Guan family's status in the capital is really nothing, they are only the fourth rank Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Although Guan Shaoqing was not of high rank, he was well-known in the capital for his ability to solve cases.

Of course, what is more famous is Guan Shaoqing's strict requirements for his own daughter.

The daughter of the Guan family was locked up in the backyard and not allowed to go out after she turned seven or eight years old. She only learned women's rules and needlework.

It is said that no men, not even a male mosquito, are allowed to enter the Guan family's backyard.

I heard that there was a concubine of the Guan family who fell into the water and was saved by a servant who grabbed her arm.

This Guan Shaoqing directly said that his concubine's daughter was not faithful to her husband and had lost her chastity, and sent the girl directly to the temple.

Many noble families disdained the Guan family's tradition, thinking it was too pedantic and extreme.

However, among the middle and lower-level officials, many people highly admire the Guan family.

Many families also asked to marry Guan's daughter.

As a result, Guan Shaoqing became quite famous in the capital and was well-respected in front of the emperor.

Although Guan Shaoqing is a bit pedantic, he is loyal to the emperor and still has some face in front of the emperor.

This is also one of the reasons why the Shu Palace married into the Guan family.

The Shu Palace is loyal to the emperor. In the current situation, if the marriage is connected to the camp of some prince, it will be more trouble than gain.

In addition, the second son is a concubine's son. According to the laws of this dynasty, if a prince has no legitimate son, the eldest son of a concubine can be demoted one level to inherit the title.

If a prince has a legitimate son to inherit the title, then his illegitimate son, if he has made contributions to the court, can be granted the title of a prince. If he has made no contributions to the court, he can only be granted the title of a duke of the state or a duke of the auxiliary state.

The Prince of Shu's Palace had already requested to confer the title of Crown Prince on him. When the Prince of Shu's Palace passes away in the future, the Crown Prince will be able to inherit the title of King of Shu.

At present, the second son of the Prince of Shu does not have any outstanding talents and has made no contribution to the court.

If the one in power now was the biological father of the King of Shu, he would probably have the nerve to go to his biological father and ask for the title of a prince for his son.

But the one in power now is his half-brother, and even if the King of Shu had ten times the courage, he would not dare to make this request.

Therefore, the future of this second young master is probably to become the Duke of Zhenguo.

If he was the Duke of Zhenguo, marrying the daughter of a fourth-rank official would be a bit of a step down.

It’s really because of this second young master. Didn’t he and his concubine cause a death?

If it were someone else's family, they would probably just give the child a bowl of medicine and beat him up.

It's not that the second young master really likes that maidservant, he has already agreed that as soon as they get married, he will promote that maidservant to a concubine.

The second young master was making a fuss and begging in front of Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu always loved her son, so she agreed to her son's request.

This matter was delayed, and by the time the King of Shu and his wife found out, the girl was already five or six months pregnant.

If you force him to take more medicine, there will be two deaths.

There was no other choice but to find the Guan family to become relatives.

After all, everyone knows that the daughters married out of the Guan family are extremely virtuous.

She truly regards her husband as her God, is devoted to respecting her husband's family, and is very tolerant towards her husband's concubines.

Doesn’t this meet the Second Young Master’s current conditions?

Although Guan Shaoqing is a bit pedantic, he is not stupid.

His family was originally from a poor family, but after all the family's efforts, they only managed to raise a golden phoenix like him over the years.

His next generation of grandchildren are currently very mediocre.

When he retires, the Guan family will decline.

Although the second young master has such a problem, if he can get married into the royal palace and become an in-law, he can also ensure the wealth of the next generation of the Guan family.

If there is another talented grandchild among the Guan family, there will be a chance for them to turn things around.

This marriage is a good match for both families, and it is also a good match in another sense.

Speaking of the Guan family at this moment, although Fu Zhijian and the others were angry, they could not find any handle on the Guan family for the time being, so it was difficult to take action.

Only Fu Zhiyi turned the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyelids: "A few days ago, I followed the Sixth Prince to the Third Prince's family banquet, and I saw the figure of the eldest son of Master Guan in the Third Prince's Palace."

Fu Zhijian's eyes lit up: "Fourth Brother, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Fu Zhiyi nodded: "Of course I'm sure!"

Fu Zhijian and Fu Zhizhu exchanged glances. Look, isn’t the handle here?

The two of them exchanged glances and had an idea in mind. As for how to proceed, they naturally had a plan when they returned.

With a sense of security in mind, the brothers relaxed and enjoyed the delicious food and wine.

Fu Zhiyi looked at the second young master dimly in a corner where no one was paying attention for a moment before he drank the wine in his hand.

The second young master didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by something.

I couldn't help but look back, but found nothing.

I thought I was overthinking it, so I didn't take it seriously. I just made a sad face and continued to worry about how I was going to plead for my in-laws later.

Everyone in the front yard had their own little plans in mind.

The atmosphere in the backyard was harmonious.

Those who can attend the Crown Prince’s Consort’s birthday banquet are basically old friends from aristocratic families.

He has a good relationship with the Crown Prince's Consort. Seeing that the Crown Prince's Consort likes Lu Zhenzhen very much, she always wants to keep her by her side, as if to say, if you are nice to me, you must be nice to her too.

Those who are smart or know the character of the Crown Princess love her and think that the person the Crown Princess likes so much must be of good character.

What's more, although her background is humble, a woman will look at her husband's family after she gets married.

As long as the Ningping Marquis's Mansion does not fall, the identity of the Ningping Marquis's fourth grandmother is enough to make people dare not underestimate her.

Even those who had their own ideas and opinions were not stupid people like the eldest lady of the Yu family, so they naturally appeared to be friendly.

It's not okay to be unfriendly. Look at the first appearance of the newly-minted fourth lady of the Ningping Marquis's Mansion in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing. She scolded the mistresses of the Guan and Yu families and disfigured the mistress of the Yu family. Yet, she was still safe and sound and was taken care of by the Crown Prince's wife.

I knew that the fourth wife of Ningping Hou was not easy to mess with.

They are not as thick-skinned as the grandmother of the Yu family, and they are not as tough as her!

Therefore, Lu Zhenzhen had a very pleasant time during the second half of the banquet.

Everyone greeted her with a smile and praised her.
