But although it made sense, after coming to his senses, King Linjiang still felt that Shen Chen's choice must be the best - it was rare for Shen Chen to have something he liked.
He has been a very sensible child since he was young. Most of the time, he is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. He will give in to everything to Chu Jingxing and others.
Finally, there was someone he liked, who personally proposed to him and he tried hard to win her over. King Linjiang didn't think too much about it and just wanted to help him.
Therefore, King Linjiang smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Princess, you are too serious. An An is a good child. Although he is indeed capable, he is also a sensible person. Besides, A Chen is a person who knows how to cherish. Since the decision has been made, he will maintain it well. The situation you think will not happen."
Princess Linjiang didn't think she could convince the King of Linjiang. She knew that the King of Linjiang would rarely oppose Shen Chen's opinion, so she didn't feel angry or embarrassed. She hummed and shook her head with a helpless smile: "After all, I'm not his biological mother, so it's not easy for me to make decisions for him. Since you said so, I have nothing to say. But, if I find a wife for Awu, I don't want to find someone like Princess Shouning. It's like finding a new mother for myself. She has to decide everything, don't you think?"
Prince Linjiang raised his eyebrows, feeling that what she said was a little funny, and laughed: "You said that, but I am a little worried about Achen, but Achen himself is also a powerful person, it is not that he can't even subdue his own wife." He took a sip of hot tea to relieve the pain in his eyes, and then he said again: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. The emperor will go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors. He is not in good health, so he appointed me to worship the heaven and ancestors on his behalf. I will be very busy tomorrow. I was supposed to stay in the palace today, but I came back to accompany Awu and Achen to stay up all night. I have to go to the palace before dawn tomorrow. You should take this opportunity to get closer to Awu and Achen. There is no need to mention the past. Also, don't mention the fact that you don't like Princess Shouning. After all, it is Achen who lives the life. If he likes it, it is more important than anything else."
Emperor Longqing's request for him to offer sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors was a signal, equivalent to announcing to the world that he would be the future emperor. This was a very important ceremony. Princess Linjiang nodded hastily: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Just like you said, Achen likes it. If I say too much, it will be annoying. I know what to do. I will be more polite to Princess Shouning in the future."
Some things have to be done slowly.
Of course, Prince Linjiang would not listen to her now, but if Shen Chen really fell in love with Qingshuang in the future and there was a rift between him and Wei An, then the show would begin.
The problem is not with Wei An, but with Shen Chen.
In the eyes of King Linjiang, Shen Chen can do no wrong, and whatever Shen Chen does is right. Now Shen Chen is obsessed with Wei An, so Wei An is good. If Shen Chen no longer likes Wei An in the future and falls in love with someone else, then Wei An is not good. It would be better if she could be more tactful and make Shen Chen comfortable and happy, then she can still be a proper mistress.
But can Wei An do it
She is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. When she finds out that Shen Chen likes someone else, she will probably make a huge fuss. What will become of Wei An then
That is the annoying, troublesome, vicious wife.
Which married woman hasn't gone through this journey? Princess Linjiang saw through it all too well. She sneered in her heart, but showed nothing on her face. She chatted with Prince Linjiang for a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, she sent Prince Linjiang out.
After Prince Linjiang left, Nanny Qin came back in. Seeing Princess Linjiang leaning against the window in a daze, she hurried over to close the window for her: "It's so windy, Princess, you should take care of yourself..."
Princess Linjiang hummed and stood up, covering the bed with the quilt again, and then asked Nanny Qin: "Is the prince okay? His father will go to the palace tomorrow, and he will follow him. Nothing can go wrong."
She had to be on guard against Concubine Yu. She had completely fallen out with Concubine Yu. She had caused Concubine Yu's Chu Jingan to suffer a great loss. It was possible that Concubine Yu would deliberately choose this time to set a trap for Chu Jingwu.
After all, it’s such a big occasion, if anything goes wrong, it would be a loss of face in front of the whole world.
Nanny Qin knew what she meant and bowed hurriedly: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. Besides, our prince is a very smart and self-sustaining person. He knows it very well. Besides... with the care of Pingxi Hou, there won't be any trouble."
This is also what Princess Linjiang finds ridiculous.
She hated Shen Chen so much, but Shen Chen was still thinking about helping her son. He was so stupid that he didn't even realize it.
She sneered, "After the ancestor worship is over tomorrow, when Shen Chen comes back in the evening, let Qingshuang show up first."
Nanny Qin understood and smiled, "Yes, I will go find Miss Qingshuang later and explain everything to her."
Days with heavy snow are always hard for servants. It was fine when they were working in the inner courtyard before, but when they were asked to do the rough work, they realized that life was going to be difficult.
Qingshuang was holding her hands together and breathing out continuously, looking at the basin of clothes with worry.
It's New Year's Eve now, and she had originally been given leave, but the manager of the laundry department bullied her, saying that she was kicked out by the princess, and refused to give her leave. She still had to work hard here to wash clothes.
Just as she was worrying, a light suddenly shone through from afar. She raised her hand to block it, and when she saw Nanny Qin behind the exquisite lantern, she straightened up in surprise: "Nanny Qin, why are you here?!"
Nanny Qin smiled at her kindly, "It's snowing heavily, why are you still washing clothes here? Didn't you give me leave?"
Qingshuang sighed: "How can it be false? After all, everyone knows that I was driven out by the princess..."
Nanny Qin frowned and said, "Those who flatter the powerful and bully the weak are always like this." She handed over her hand warmer and said, "Warm yourself up."
Qingshuang took it in her hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when she felt the warmth. Her hands were frozen stiff, but now she felt her frozen thoughts come alive a little: "Why did you come here in such a cold day?"
"The Marquis will have dinner at home tomorrow." Nanny Qin gave her a meaningful look. Seeing her eyes light up, she smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you... What will happen in the future will all depend on tomorrow. You have to do your best!" (To be continued)
