Chapter 295 296: Marriage
Song Yunzhao coughed lightly when he heard the words, “Probably not. If so, Princess Fukang will definitely not take the initiative to mention the marriage. I think she must have plans. In the situation of Princess Duanjing, it is not easy to find a good marriage. My eldest cousin became famous in the examination room and was registered in front of the emperor. The future will definitely not be bad. Our family style is also considered clean. Princess Fukang should want to find someone for Princess Duanjing to rely on.”
It is rare for the eldest lady to have something that bothers her so much. She looked at Yun Zhao and said, “I’ll go find out about it first.”
“That’s fine.” Song Yunzhao nodded, and then talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, including Cai’s going to the banquet.
The eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao and said: “Don’t worry, I will definitely make an agreement with the third younger sibling. If she makes things difficult for you in the palace, I will never help Qinghan when she encounters troubles in Marquis Wuxin’s mansion. Even for Qinghan, she will keep her mouth shut.”
Song Yunzhao nodded, “I have to bother my aunt about this matter, and it’s not easy for me to come forward.”
“What’s the trouble with my own affairs, I’ll go back and send a message to the princess mansion first, and I’ll tell you when I have news.”
The eldest lady left the palace in a hurry, and Song Yunzhao had to wait for news.
Sure enough, as Yun Zhao expected, one day later she received a letter from the eldest lady, in which she said that Princess Fukang said that after five years of marriage, if Princess Duanjing had nothing to do, she would allow Song Song to take a concubine, but the son of the concubine would be raised by Princess Duanjing, and the Song family would send it out after the concubine gave birth. If Princess Duanjing dies early, Xu Song will remarry.
After reading the letter, Song Yunzhao couldn’t tell what he was feeling for a while. The concubine would be sent out after giving birth, so how would she live the rest of her life?
The Song family will find someone to marry her again?
That’s impossible.
The only possibility is to put it on Zhuangzi to raise it. In such a society, does Yun Zhao have to be grateful that Princess Fukang did not leave her son to leave her mother?
She felt uncomfortable, but she also knew that Princess Fukang was very generous to promise such a condition.
Song Yunzhao was not very optimistic about this marriage, but the eldest lady was very satisfied. She told Yunzhao in the letter that she did not expect Princess Fukang to be so considerate, and she met Duanjing Princess again, and she looked better than when she was in the palace.
The lady’s considerations are also very simple. The only bad thing about this marriage is that Princess Duanjing’s health is not very good, but Wei Chang named Changning Bo, and Princess Fukang has a good relationship with His Majesty’s siblings.
Moreover, with this marriage, Song Yanran’s official career will be smoother. He doesn’t need to be promoted by the princess’s mansion, but he just needs to take care of him so that he won’t be suppressed by others’ achievements.
Overall, the pros of this marriage outweigh the cons.
The eldest lady has already made a decision, and Yun Zhao can’t say anything. Speaking of which, she is also the beneficiary of this marriage, but she still mentioned that this marriage asks the eldest lady to ask her elder cousin’s opinion.
Song Xinran is a person with his own ideas. If he really doesn’t like it, it will be a big deal for the young couple to have a bad relationship after marriage.
After receiving Yun Zhao’s reply, the eldest lady wrote a letter to her son, and also wrote to her husband to tell her that she wanted to tell Mrs. Cai about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She was so busy that she never touched the ground.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yanran’s letter arrived in the capital, saying that the marriage was decided by the parents, and Mr. Song was satisfied with the marriage, so it was settled.
Song Xunran was going back to Beijing to report his duties in the next year, and the two families set the wedding date at that time. Since Song Xunran was not in the capital, the process of three letters and six appointments would not come forward, Princess Fukang expressed her understanding.
When the news of the two families getting married was released, many people in the capital were surprised. They never expected that the two families would get married.
Back when Song Zhenran was visiting high school, many people came to inquire about the marriage, but they were all politely rejected by the eldest lady, and now Princess Fukang actually snatched this son-in-law away.
Before the Song family published a Shangshu, many people had taken a fancy to Song Xinran, and now there is another Shangshu. Song Xinran’s marriage has more people staring at him, but the Song family actually married the Princess Mansion.
However, if you think about it carefully, the empress dowager dislikes Song Zhaoyi and often makes things difficult for her. Marrying the princess mansion will allow Princess Fukang to help Song Zhaoyi more in the future, so this marriage is not surprising.
If you want to say that the most angry one is naturally the Queen Mother, the Shou Ci Palace does not dare to breathe.
Nurse Yao asked the palace servants to clean up the broken porcelain all over the place. Seeing the empress dowager’s complexion was black, she didn’t know how to persuade her for a while.
An Shutong didn’t show up, she was sitting in her room with a book in her hand, but she couldn’t read a word, and her fingers were holding the book tightly.
Yingxue brought a cup of tea over, and said cautiously: “Girl, let’s drink some tea.”
An Shutong rolled his eyes and said, “Can the empress dowager announce me?”
Yingxue shook her head.
An Shutong breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of the tea cup, and said after a while: “The Princess Mansion is married to the Song family, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape from this palace.”
“Girl…” Yingxue felt sad, “Is there no other way?”
“Princess Fukang and the Queen Mother are not on good terms. I heard from my mother that Princess Fukang was very domineering when Concubine Rong was still there, and she has always been unfriendly to the Queen Mother. Now that she is married to the Song family, the Queen Mother is weak, and she will definitely ask me to come to the palace to help.”
When An Shutong heard that the beauties from Nanjiang had entered the palace, An Shutong felt a little lucky. Maybe he could escape the prison of the harem, but he never expected that the emperor would reward the beauties to the courtiers, let alone that Princess Ankang would marry the Song family.
After An Shutong got the news, he knew that he had no hope of earning money.
“Girl, why don’t the servants go out of the palace to beg the madam?” Yingxue said in a low voice with red eyes.
An Shutong shook her head. Her family members wished that she could enter the palace, so why would they want her to go out, “It’s useless.”
Yingxue’s tears fell, why is the girl’s life so bitter, “Song Zhaoyi is a master, and the third concubine can’t escape the benefits under her hands. If the girl enters the palace and confronts Song Zhaoyi…”
Yingxue didn’t dare to say anything further, if the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor’s mother and son was harmonious, it would be fine, and the girl could always turn around if she was caught in the middle, but the fact is not like this, then the girl’s situation is too difficult.
How can the queen mother have the heart, the girl has been filial to her in recent years, why can’t she find a good marriage for the girl and marry her off.
An Shutong looked at Yingxue crying, and patted her hand, “This is fate, no matter how powerful Song Zhaoyi is, can he still be spoiled for a lifetime, not in one year, two years, two years, or three years, there is always something to look forward to.”
“What the girl said is that with the Empress Dowager around, there is always something to look forward to. Song Zhaoyi is so arrogant, so she may not be able to stumble in the future.” Yingxue nodded emphatically.
