The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

While Old Madam Wen may be confused about some things, she is definitely an old lady who listens to advice, especially to her son. Seeing that her son was acting out of character and kept saying that Du Mingxian should marry into the Feng family, she guessed that there might be something she didn't know about it.

"Okay, whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."

Lord Wen felt somewhat relieved. "She may be outstanding, but the marriage is already arranged, and the scar on her face... if it were really removed, it would make the lady of the house uncomfortable."

"Sigh." Madam Wen sighed deeply. "I was just thinking that she was so smart and could have had better arrangements. It's a pity that she married into the Feng family and was paired with the second son of the Feng family, who is so useless."

Lord Wen also knew this, but many things were still unclear, so it was really hard to say. "We'll talk about the future later. As for the things that have been decided so far, it would be good if nothing went wrong."

"Well, you're right."

Du Mingxian, who was eating hotpot in the space, knew nothing about anything. After finishing her meal, she did some serious exercise before leaving the space to sleep.

The next day was a day off, and Lord Wen was at home, so Du Mingxian didn't bring him any food. As a result, several people came to the house, and Cheng Jinyun and Wen Shiyan, who were temporarily staying at the Wen family's house, received them.

When Du Mingxian received the message, it was almost noon. She was just wondering whether to go out today when she received a message from the garden that several princes, princesses, and young masters from noble families were coming to visit and invited her to come along.

Upon hearing the news, she was first shocked, then somewhat happy, "Chuntao, come with me."

"It's Miss."

Du Mingxian could hear the lightness in Chun Tao's voice. She smiled slightly, thinking that finding out who was behind it all sooner would also allow her to leave the Wen family sooner.

After quickly tidying up, the two went to the garden together.

The garden is quite lively right now. Lord Wen has a son, but he was born to a concubine. However, because he was raised under Madam Wen's name from birth, he is considered a legitimate son.

However, because he is too young, only six years old, he cannot come to greet the princes and princesses, so the person who greeted them on the men's side became Wen Yibin.

Wen Yibin and Lord Wen are both born of the same mother and are legitimate sons. Their two older brothers, the second brother Wen Yiqi and the third brother Wen Yitao, are both illegitimate sons.

However, in order to show her magnanimity, even though Mr. Wen had been gone for many years, Madam Wen still had not separated her illegitimate sons, and they all lived together in the Wen family mansion.

Born out of wedlock, Wen Yibin was not of high enough status to receive the princes; only he was the most suitable.

As Du Mingxian approached, she heard cheers coming from inside; there seemed to be quite a few masters and servants.

She was spotted as soon as she approached, but no one came forward to greet her. Even several young ladies from prominent families stood quietly to the side talking, without coming up to greet Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian herself wasn't embarrassed at all; she was quite at ease. Right now, she was trying her best to distinguish between the princes and observe which one Chun Tao treated differently. So she didn't care at all about other people's rejection of her.

His Majesty currently has eight sons.

The eldest prince was born to the empress and has been made crown prince. However, he is in poor health and has duties in court, but very few. He is a man who keeps to himself and avoids going out.

The second prince's mother came from a humble background. When she first entered the palace, her family consisted of only one person from another region holding an official position. It was only after the second prince was born that her family's status gradually rose.

Currently, the highest-ranking official in his maternal clan is his maternal uncle in the capital, who holds the rank of third grade.

The second prince was kind and gentle, and he liked to smooth things over when things happened. He was the least likely to ascend the throne, so he had excellent relationships with all the other princes. He loved music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but disliked state affairs.

The emperor had intended to groom several princes, but the second prince was timid and hesitant in his actions. After being severely criticized by the emperor, he was never assigned any tasks again.

The third prince's mother was a Noble Consort, and her family's highest official rank was second grade. They were considered a prestigious family and a powerful figure in the struggle for the throne.

Du Mingxian knew little about what had happened before, but she knew that in her previous life, the third prince was the one who ultimately ascended the throne.

The fourth prince's mother had a difficult childbirth, and was subsequently registered under the empress's name, thus being considered a legitimate son. He is currently a follower of the eldest prince, but because the current crown prince is in poor health, the fourth prince is also a strong candidate to ascend to that position.

The fifth prince's mother was the daughter of a military family. Because all the men in her father's and brothers' clans had died on the battlefield, the emperor took pity on her and brought her directly into the palace, which could be considered as giving the fifth prince's maternal family a blessing.

She was given the title of imperial concubine and was quite favored in the palace. The fifth prince himself followed his mother's clan and liked martial arts and swordsmanship. He often shouted that he wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

If the Fifth Prince wanted to contend for the throne, it was highly possible. Although his maternal grandfather and uncles had died in battle, they still held high positions in the army and could command a large following.

The Sixth Prince's maternal family is not prominent, but his mother is currently the most favored woman in the palace. It can be said that since she entered the palace, she has never been favored.

Rumor has it that his mother's aunt was the emperor's ideal woman when he was still a prince. But fate is cruel to beauties. That aunt once saved the emperor during a time of chaos, but she died because she was not treated in time. From then on, she became the emperor's lingering thought.

Although his maternal family is not prominent, the emperor's care and favoritism are obvious. If the emperor insists on passing the throne to the sixth prince, it is very possible.

After the birth of the sixth prince, no more princes were born in the palace for several years until two years ago when the seventh and eighth princes were born one after the other. The two children are still in the babbling stage and it is hard to tell what they are like.

Thinking about this, Du Mingxian felt that anyone from two to six was a possibility, except for the Crown Prince.

Although the Second Prince is low-key, she never underestimates anyone. The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince are all very potential candidates, so all of these princes... could become the man behind Chun Tao.

It’s really a headache.

She was lost in thought when Chun Tao gently called out, "Miss," pulling her back to reality.

Only then did she realize that everyone's eyes were on her.

Slightly embarrassed, she gracefully bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."

"So you are the eldest daughter of the Wen family, why are you covering your face with a veil?" The sixth prince was younger, fourteen this year, and spoke more directly.

"I'm not good-looking, so it's inconvenient for me to remove my veil."

"That's not right," the Third Prince chimed in. "I heard that Feng Zhiyuan is making a huge scene at home because of you, insisting on marrying no one but you. Feng Zhiyuan has been with countless women outside, would he really marry you just because you're ugly?"

At this moment, another young man stepped forward and said, "Yes, I've heard about this news too."

"That's right. Are you suggesting that you cover your face with a veil while the princes are here? That would be disrespectful to the princes."

"Yes."

At this moment, a princess walked over, her eyes filled with malice, and reached out to pull up the veil covering Du Mingxian's face, saying, "Don't cover it up anymore, even if you're ugly, we still have to see you."
