Chapter 280 Unwilling to Marry into the Royal Family
Mei Lane.
Listening to Pang Tuo's analysis of Qin Baiwan and his group, Wu Weiwei lowered her eyes.
She knew Qin Baiwan; he was a particularly mad character in the novel.
He is involved in all bad things, and he never does anything that a human being would do. He is the natural nemesis of the male protagonist in the book.
Of course, he is also the only villain in the book who dares to go against the male and female protagonists and courts death.
Because she couldn't stand the male lead, she kept plotting to assassinate Lu Hanting, but she didn't expect that the male lead was already on guard against her, and in the end, she was killed by Lu Hanting.
Moreover, even his villa on the mountainside was implicated.
He wiped out the three tyrants of the capital, no, he should say the four tyrants, including the Crown Prince.
In the end, only the seventh prince, who was not Emperor Mingcheng's bloodline, remained in the royal family. The male protagonist seized control of the country by holding the emperor hostage and using him to command the feudal lords.
Wu Weiwei guessed that this was the truth.
"Master, should I accept this invitation or not?"
To be honest, Pang Tuo was actually a little intimidated by Qin Baiwan's invitation.
After all, he had heard from the Crown Prince about the behavior of these three tyrants of the capital: indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and womanizing, and they had taken these behaviors to the extreme.
Their goal was simply to clean themselves up.
If he really goes, he'll only be giving them an excuse to punish him.
"Go, of course I'll go. Not only do you have to go, but you'll also have to help me rescue someone!"
If she wasn't mistaken, something extraordinary was about to happen at the hunting grounds of the Panshan Villa.
"Master, are you going too?"
Fat Tuo was astonished.
Wu Weiwei looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Why wouldn't I go to such a wonderful show!"
She heard that Qin Baiwan had sent an invitation to Chen Furong, and that Chen Furong had verbally abused Qin Baiwan in front of her.
Qin Baiwan's grandfather and Chen Furong's grandfather were former comrades-in-arms. It is said that the two families had planned to arrange a marriage between them when they were children.
However, as Qin Shiyuan, now known as the Duke of Qin, made great contributions to the Great Wei, the gap in status between the two families widened. Chen's grandfather was afraid that outsiders would say that the Chen family was trying to climb the social ladder, so when the Duke of Qin made another proposal, he politely declined his suggestion to form an alliance.
After Chen's grandfather passed away, the two families had even less contact.
It turned out that not having the idea of a marriage alliance with the Qin family was the right thing to do.
As Qin Baiwan of the Qin family grew up, he became increasingly eccentric, and Madam Chen was glad that she had not arranged a marriage with the Qin family.
Of course, Qin Baiwan would not be interested in Chen Furong's rugged appearance.
The two families resumed contact after Chen Weiyang, the General of Anxi, emerged from the Chen family. He was Chen Furong's father.
It was he who made the suggestion again, and only then did the two families resume their correspondence.
For some unknown reason, Qin Baiwan sent an invitation to Chen Furong, but Wu Weiwei persuaded him to stop.
So Chen Furong didn't throw the post away.
If she really wanted to go, she only needed to tell Chen Furong, and she would surely be happy to take her.
Thinking of that stunning hunt in the story, Wu Weiwei smiled.
I just don't know if that person will appear at the hunting grounds this time.
If we can find that person, the operation of the sea route may be much more efficient.
Phoenix Palace.
"Yue'er, come and pick some out. These are all noble ladies from prestigious families that your mother has chosen for you. Take a look, is there anyone you like?"
The Empress was deeply gratified by the great things her son had accomplished during this period.
Yue'er has finally grown up.
Now everything is moving in a positive direction, and the Emperor's attitude towards the mother and son has also changed significantly.
If this continues, the throne will eventually belong to her son, and she won't have to worry about him anymore.
Now Yue'er only needs a suitable marriage, and her younger brother said that the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Chen is quite good.
If Yue'er can truly marry Chen Shu Ning, the daughter of Grand Tutor Chen, then with Grand Tutor Chen's prestige in the Great Wei, her son will have no problem inheriting the throne.
The crown prince walked over, glanced at the noblewoman the empress had chosen for him, but showed little interest.
"Your Majesty, please decide what to do! Your son will listen to you."
Seeing that the Crown Prince was not interested, the Empress knew that her son liked beautiful women, and most of the noble ladies in her possession were of average appearance and not particularly outstanding.
Even Liu Shuning is the gentle type, not the kind that immediately wows people.
If we're talking about being exceptionally attractive, then perhaps only someone as beautiful as a vixen, like Wu, the concubine of Lu Dushi, could win over a son's heart.
Honestly, why did I think of her?
The Empress took out Liu Shuning's portrait.
"If we're talking about who should be the Crown Princess, then none other than Grand Tutor Liu's daughter would be the best choice, since Grand Tutor Liu is the most prestigious person in the Great Wei."
In terms of assistance, I doubt you can find another person who can truly help you…
The crown prince frowned, but in the end he said nothing.
After leaving the Phoenix Palace, the Crown Prince bumped into Consort Jing in the Imperial Garden.
"Your Highness, Consort Jing!"
"The Crown Prince has arrived! Is he here to visit your mother?"
Looking at the spirited person in front of her, Consort Jing suddenly felt a little irritated.
"Yes, I just came from my mother's place. I heard that Consort Jing fell and tripped. Is she much better now?"
The Crown Prince inquired with concern.
Consort Jing was the only one in the palace who did not compete with the Empress Dowager for favor. When he was a child, she would often give him treats to coax him when he was punished.
Therefore, the Crown Prince always held a biased view of her.
Hearing the Crown Prince's concern for her, Consort Jing was not surprised, but she was not particularly moved.
Before she learned that her sister's bloodline was still alive, there was no conflict of interest between her and the Empress.
But now the two are on opposing sides; she is on Ting'er's side, while the Empress is naturally on her son's side.
Therefore, in the end, the two sides will inevitably clash, and may even face a life-or-death decision.
However, since the Crown Prince still has a good impression of her, she has no need to play the villain.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I only sprained my ankle. The imperial physicians have been coming to examine and treat me every day, and I am much better now."
"It's good that you're alright. Consort Jing, you should still take care of yourself and remember to get plenty of rest."
The Crown Prince asked with concern.
"Ah."
Consort Jing nodded.
The two said their goodbyes, but just as the Crown Prince turned to leave, Consort Jing suddenly said, "Your Highness, I heard that the Empress wants to arrange a marriage for you with the daughter of Grand Tutor Liu. Are you interested in her?"
Consort Jing's words made the Crown Prince stamp his feet in frustration.
"Your Highness, are you referring to Liu Shuning?"
Consort Jing nodded.
"Yes, Miss Liu, the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Liu."
Seeing the pale yellow figure appear in the corner of the palace, Consort Jing deliberately asked a question.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately pictured the dull-witted woman he had just seen in his mother's portrait.
He frowned.
"Her? She's just average-looking, nothing special!"
After the Crown Prince left, Consort Jing glanced at a corner of the side hall and then followed him out.
"Miss, are you...are you alright?"
The maid supported Liu Shuning, her face full of worry.
"Magpie, I'm alright. Let's hurry over and meet up with Mother!"
Today, the Empress invited her and her mother to the palace for an audience, but unexpectedly, she overheard the Crown Prince's evaluation of her.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken, but he was the crown prince, and his reputation wasn't good.
If she had a choice, she would not want to marry into the royal family.
