However, when the Madam Lian heard this, she was extremely anxious. If her daughter really married into the imperial family, wouldn't that mean that she could let the Princess Changze grind his way?
When she rushed over to the Linglong Pavilion, Lin Shu was sitting at the bottom of the corridor, watching as Yun Dou brought Maid to jump over the wall.
Hearing her words, Lin Shu could not help but burst out laughing, "You, ah, really think too simply, if a name is really given over, then one will become a Crown Princess, a Prince and Lateral Consort, then there is no telling how many wives in the capital will be smiling like flowers in bloom, the estimated number of people that will be handed in would be at least dozens, but in the end, there will not be more than five."
"I'm only thirteen now, so I'm still young. Giving my name is just to try to improve my reputation, when the time comes, it'll be easier to talk about marriage! Don't worry, as for the third prince's Lateral Consort, Eighth Prince's Consort, these popular candidates will be handed over to the Duke Cheng Palace and the Zhang Family to fight over. As for the unpopular ones like the Fifth Prince’s Concort and the Six Crown Princess, there will also be a bunch of people thinking about them.
The Madam Lian was slightly relieved as she muttered, "Before this matter is settled, I won't be able to calm my heart down for a day."
Lin Shu couldn't help but say a few words of consolation to her mother.
At this time, Empress Dowager Wang and Empress Zhang were busy working together, and Princess Changze sat on the ground eating pecans.
Right now, she still stayed in the Tzu Ning Palace for a lot of time, but it wasn't very time for her to return to the Wang Family.
It was fine that Wang Pei was weak, but he was still a lecherous guy. He was usually a bastard, but when he drank wine, he was even more so.
A few days ago, Wang Pei had borrowed the alcohol to feign insanity and ruthlessly slapped her in the face. Initially, Wang Pei had taken advantage of Chun Geer's incident to scold her. It was fine that her left ear went in and out of his right ear, but after all, any man who wore a green hat before getting married would definitely be unhappy.
But Wang Pei actually dared to hit her? She immediately pushed Wang Pei until he staggered, and was about to throw the vase on the table at Wang Pei's head. If it was not for someone by her side blocking her, Wang Pei's life would not have been saved.
But even at this point, the Princess Changze still felt that it was still difficult to vent his anger.
When Empress Dowager Wang heard these words, he was also angry but could not do it. He had only ordered Princess Changze to stay in the Tzu Ning Palace alive, she would definitely not show mercy to Wang Pei.
It was just that Wang Pei had no intention to visit the Tzu Ning Palace at all even after a few consecutive days. The palace maids and eunuchs who were sent by the Empress Dowager Wang went back and forth to the Wang Family, yet, they did not even see Wang Pei.
Princess Changze was not in a hurry either. In the Wang Family, Wang Pei already had more than a dozen aunts, let alone an uncountable number of bed-warming maid.
That day when she married into the Wang Family, she brought along a lot of female servants to accompany her marriage. Other than the old Grandma Wang Pei who looked down on all of them, even if there were a few that had not been slept in by Wang Pei, there was no one that had not been taken advantage of by Wang Pei.
The servant girl beside Empress Dowager Wang raised his reading glasses. "..." There are the ladies of Duke Chengan Palace, the ladies of Duke Andong Palace, the ladies of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and even the ladies of Palace have been presented.
Empress Zhang laughed, his eyebrows carrying a bit of happiness, "Big brother's daughters are all still young, they just want to borrow the concubine selection pamphlet, and talk about marriage in the future."
"That's true. If I remember correctly, the oldest niece of yours is only eleven or twelve years old." Empress Dowager Wang squinted his eyes again as he reached out to open the small palace maid who was holding the reading glasses up for her, and said unhappily: "You may leave!"
There was no longer any interest in looking at the booklet.
The young palace maid could only retreat in fear.
Empress Dowager Wang could only sigh: "None of them could compare to the easy way to use by Man Jing. Speaking of which, Man Jing has been by the Third Prince's side for two years, and it's also a good opportunity for him to give Man Jing a name …"
At that time, the Third Prince told me that he wanted to take Man Jing in, but I have a kind of indescribable feeling in my heart. After staying in the palace for so many years, the people outside thought that it was good for the head of the palace, but only the women in the palace knew the difficulties, and at first, I had planned to marry Man Jing in broad daylight, but now that she entered the eyes of the Third Prince, it was her good fortune.
After saying that, she thought for a moment, then said: "Why don't we let Man Jing take my surname, and bestow him with the title of Lateral Consort Wang!"
A palace maid was bestowed the title of Lateral Consort?
The corner of Empress Zhang's eyes twitched. After all these years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally understood the nature of Empress Dowager Wang. If he were to blindly go against Empress Dowager Wang, Empress Dowager Wang would definitely not let go … The left was just a Lateral Consort, so why not agree? "How could any of the beauties by Esteemed Empress Dowager's side be bad?" Even if you didn't tell Chenqie about this matter today, Chenqie would still mention it. Chenqie also thinks that Man Jing is a good person. "
"Two years ago, the Third Prince caught a cold and went to see the imperial physician at the palace. He took a lot of medicine, but the disease never recovered, and you also know what sort of personality the Third Prince has. You're always preoccupied with government affairs, so I don't know how many times you've tried to persuade him. Luckily you sent Man Jing over to take care of him, otherwise, who knows how long his illness would have lasted. "
It was clearly the Imperial Physician's effort, but Man Jing took it for herself.
Even the Princess Changze couldn't help but take another glance at him. This didn't seem like it was the way the Empress Zhang did things.
The Empress Dowager Wang, on the other hand, had put on a front of the granny before the Empress Zhang, and only felt extremely satisfied in his heart, "Man Jing is indeed a good child, the current Third Princess is just a country bumpkin, and normally, the Third Prince would not even have any face in front of him. In any case, Man Jing has seen much of the world by the side of This Dowager, so it's not bad at all for him to be offered to the Third Prince as the Lateral Consort."
"You're right!" The Empress Zhang lowered his posture, but changed the topic: "Logically speaking, prince should have two Lateral Consort s, but the third prince is still missing one. "Chenqie has a candidate on his side. I wonder what esteemed empress dowager thinks?"
Empress Dowager Wang's eyebrows knitted imperceptibly, but he still asked, "Which family's girl does the empress have his eyes on?"
At first, when the Third Prince was young, he often liked to recite poems and paint. But now that he is quite old, he had thrown all these things to the side, but Chenqie could tell that the Third Prince usually likes these things, with the help of the Zhang Family lady who is by his side, I believe that the Third Prince would definitely like it very much when he sees the Zhang Family lady reciting poems everyday. "
The Princess Changze listened, holding only the tea leaves to savor them, his mouth revealed a playful smile.
When the Empress Dowager Wang was old, he could not be compared to the Empress Zhang in his plans. The Empress Dowager Wang gave his personal palace maid to the Third Prince to be his Lateral Consort, but the Empress Zhang immediately said that he wanted to make the Pavilion Elder's granddaughter his Third Prince's Lateral Consort.
Elder Zhang only had Zhang Yuanqing as his granddaughter. All these years, even the Emperor knew of Elder Zhang's reputation. If he wanted Zhang Yuanqing to marry the Third Prince as his granddaughter, wouldn't that mean that he had won over Elder Zhang as well?
In the entire imperial court, there were only a few people who supported the Third Prince. If there were more Elder Zhang s, the Third Prince would have a better chance of winning the seat of the King!
Empress Dowager Wang's expression became somewhat uncertain, "Miss Zhang Family …" This Dowager had originally planned to betroth his daughter to Fifth Prince as his Chief Consort. After all, he was the only daughter of his Zhang Family, so if he were to betroth Third Prince as his Lateral Consort, it would truly be a bit unfair … Even if the identity of the Third Princess above was not revealed, I am afraid that it would not be able to suppress her. "
"Look at what you're saying, can't you suppress anything? Since we are all serving the third prince, we should naturally work together to think for the third prince's sake! " The Empress Zhang thought that the opposition in Empress Dowager Wang's words was not that obvious, and the smile on his face became even wider. He only said, "Actually, this matter hasn't been completely settled. After all, we still have to see what the Emperor has to say …"
While they were talking, a little Internal Service rushed in from outside and said in a low voice, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, His Highness Wang is coming over!"
Empress Dowager Wang's gaze then fell upon the Princess Changze below.
Princess Changze acted as if he did not hear this, his hand that was holding the tea Gu did not even pause.
But it was still the Empress Zhang who laughed and said: Someone came to fetch my wife back, so I won't stay here to watch the show.
Ever since Princess Changze had married Wang Pei, she had always taken a liking to Wang Pei, and now, she felt that Wang Pei had picked the right time and place to do so … When she reached the emperor's side later, she could only vaguely speak of Empress Dowager Wang's attitude. Presumably, the emperor would also loosen his tone.
Waiting for her to leave, Empress Dowager Wang sighed and said, "Zhang Ze, what do you think? Are we going to meet or not? "
"See you?" What was there to see? "Esteemed empress dowager, please decide what I did wrong to make him slap me in front of a group of maids and concubines. From when I was young until now, no one has ever touched me!" Princess Changze became angry as he thought about it, and only coldly replied, "I don't plan to go back. If you want to see him, then I'll leave."
Empress Dowager Wang waved at her, gesturing for her to sit beside him, "You're really childish. Husband and wife are always at the head of the bed fighting, how can you not go back? If you don't go back, what about Chun Geer? Are you willing to let Chun Geer not see his mother everyday? "
"This one knows better than you what sort of character Wang Pei has, there are times when he is a bastard, but this husband is not someone you have chosen yourself … Hearing my words, when Wang Pei gives in, you just follow him back to the Wang Family. For no other reason, you should think about it carefully for Chun Geer! "
