Chapter seven hundred and seventeen is bound to win
Hu Maoshen suddenly thought of Prince Jing's marriage. He wanted Prince Jing to marry a legitimate daughter from a noble family, which would be more helpful to Prince Jing.
But if you really marry such a girl, and you are afraid that the emperor will be jealous, it is really a dilemma!
"Don't worry, I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
Prince Jing raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of ambition that he must win.
"I wonder who the prince is interested in?"
Hu Maoshen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the prince had a candidate in mind.
He thought about the girls from the aristocratic families in the capital, but he couldn't figure out which one the prince had his eye on.
"Of course she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."
Prince Jing's smile was somewhat mysterious, which deeply surprised Hu Mao.
Then he suddenly realized, no wonder the prince was able to invite the crown prince’s wife of the Zhenguo Duke’s Palace to be his girl’s iceman. It turned out that the prince and the Zhenguo Duke’s Palace had already secretly colluded together?
"Are you talking about the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Liang Zhirui?"
Hu Maoshen was a little surprised by this candidate, so he had to confirm it again.
"Are there many legitimate daughters of the chief minister of the Zhenguo Palace?"
Prince Jing was a little unhappy. Why was Hu Maoshen so surprised? Did Hu Maoshen think he was still too high?
Hu Maoshen saw that Prince Jing's face was a little gloomy. He quickly came to his senses and replied: "That girl's status is worthy of you, but that girl is making a living under her stepmother. In terms of upbringing, is she okay?
Is it worse?"
Hu Maoshen was shocked by Prince Jing's displeasure. In fact, he thought that the emperor would not agree.
After all, the influence of the Zhenguo Palace in the court must be much lower than when the late emperor was there, but it can still be regarded as an old noble in the capital.
Not to mention the influence of the Yao clan in the court, the emperor would not be able to agree based on the complicated marriage relationship.
As for the reason he just mentioned, it was just a small flaw. He was married to someone who was related to the Duke of Zhen by marriage and had influence in the court.
For Prince Jing, this is undoubtedly a very good choice.
Even the eldest prince, the second prince, and the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace are worthy of it.
If the upbringing is not good, then just find someone to teach you. As long as you can manage the inner courtyard well, then you are close to it.
You're not as good at socializing with women from aristocratic families. Considering your status, others can't embarrass you, right?
In the end, if Prince Jing aspires to conquer the world, then the queen of the world does not necessarily have to be a princess!
Hu Maoshen's explanation made Prince Jing's expression soften. In fact, he understood what Hu Maoshen meant.
I just thought that the emperor would not agree, so I asked this question.
"If you don't have good upbringing, just ask the old nuns in the palace to train her. It won't be a problem. I don't have high requirements for the princess, and her status can match her."
"As for my father, I will go and tell him personally. I have never spoken to my father before, so I believe that my father will not refute my face too much."
After Prince Jing exposed his true thoughts, Hu Maoshen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, is Prince Jing really sure that if he asks the emperor, the emperor will agree? Why doesn't he feel so optimistic?
"If that's the case, that would be great." Hu Maoshen didn't want to throw cold water on Prince Jing now, so he had to let Prince Jing try it first.
Early the next morning, Gu Chengyu got up and practiced calligraphy.
Now that he has returned to the capital, he has to go to the Hanlin Academy to attend the ceremony. Anyway, the emperor will definitely summon him today.
In fact, Lu Chen must have entered the palace yesterday, and the emperor should have a rough idea of the affairs of Hejian Mansion. Coupled with the previous report from senior brother to the emperor, he should not be able to interfere in the affairs of Hejian Mansion.
The main reason why he went here today was to hand over the treasure map and some remaining incriminating evidence, and also to see if there was any hope of getting promoted.
It's early winter, the sky is getting light relatively late, and it's still dark outside the window.
Gu Chengyu put down the brush and counted the time, it should be time to eat the morning meal.
"Sir! The morning meal has been served. Do you want to use it now?"
Li Chun hurried into the room, took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, and then asked respectfully.
"Bring it in!" Gu Chengyu washed his hands in the copper basin that Lonicera brought in.
At the beginning of spring, the little girl directed the morning meal to the table. When Gu Chengyu sat down, she stood aside and hesitated to speak.
"But what's the matter?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. Li Chun didn't say anything when he was on duty yesterday, but today he seemed to have something unspeakable to hide.
"Sir, during the past few days when you were away from the house, the old lady often went out of the house to pay incense and visit the shops."
When Li Chun said this, he stopped.
Gu Chengyu was a little unhappy and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
What's going on at the beginning of spring? It's good for his mother to go out for a walk, so as not to be bored in the house all day.
As long as we bring more guards, no one will attack a woman, right?
Besides, this was obviously something that should be reported to the steward of the inner courtyard and the steward of the outer courtyard. She was a big girl in charge of the courtyard in the beginning of spring, so she stretched her hands too far.
"Oh? When the old lady goes out, she just needs to bring more guards. Is there anything wrong with her?"
When Li Chun saw Gu Chengyu's face turned gloomy, he knew that Gu Chengyu had misunderstood.
"What's wrong? I just want to report to you, sir. The old lady met the princess of the eldest princess's family when she left the mansion. The two have become very close in the past few days, and the princess often comes to the mansion to play.
.The slave girl is in a much better mood when she looks at the old lady than before, and she is very compatible with the princess!" Li Chun explained hurriedly.
"Who? Princess Rongjia?" Gu Chengyu was stunned when he heard this. Isn't the eldest princess's family Princess Rongjia?
Didn't it mean that the princess was aloof and a little difficult to get close to?
It's not that he belittled his mother. After all, his mother was originally a girl, and his family was a farmer.
Although she is now an official's wife, she still has a snobbish eye and looks down on the Gu family who have no background.
After all, this is how this dynasty is, and those aristocratic families are used to being aloof.
It seems that he also made the same mistake as Zhu Pang! Next time, you still can't judge a person's character based on hearsay.
Maybe the princess doesn’t have that kind of temper at all, but because of her innate nobility, it’s hard for people to get close to her!
"Yes! It's Princess Rongjia. Yesterday, the princess invited the old lady to go to Baoen Temple to offer incense!"
At the beginning of spring, she saw Gu Chengyu's face was in deep thought, her hands were clasped tightly, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Speaking of Baoen Temple, Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of the eldest princess. The last time he took his mother to Baoen Temple to offer incense, he was belittled by the eldest princess overtly and covertly.
Now his daughter and his mother often come and go, and the eldest princess might even think that his family is being used to fawn over her!
It would be a shame to send someone to warn him and his mother again.
After thinking about it, Gu Chengyu still felt that he should advise his mother to stay away from Princess Rongjia. The eldest princess was not easy to get along with, and he didn't want others to misunderstand her.
