Mu Bei went straight back to the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion. The old concubine had obviously received the news a long time ago and had been waiting there.
Mu Bei did not hide anything from the old concubine and told her everything.
The old concubine was really furious. After all, she was the one who chose the person. In order to avoid some trouble, she chose someone who was a little younger, even if it meant waiting for more than a year. In the end, something went wrong, and it happened right before the official wedding date.
Originally, I inquired about the girl and found that she had a good personality and character, and I didn't put much effort into checking other aspects. Who knew that there would be problems? When she was engaged, she wasn't even 15 years old yet, but she fell deeply in love with a man. Even after more than a year of engagement, she is still clinging to him. What is going on
Choosing the Fang family at the beginning did not mean that she was the best choice, she was just more suitable. There were many better ones, but the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, as the only prince of a different surname, had a very special status and great power. If it were to marry into a high-ranking family again, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and fear from those in power. Although Emperor Xuanren might not be so, as a minister, there was nothing wrong in being more cautious and self-conscious. She was just the daughter of a small fourth-rank official, and she dared to offend the Prince of Dingbei!
The old concubine was very angry, but Mu Bei calmed down now and tried to comfort her.
The old concubine looked at Mu Bei and felt distressed, thinking that her grandson was not very lucky in marriage. He was originally together with Guangsi, but in the end, he didn't get to spend much time with him. It was rare that he really fell in love with someone, and he had already had a good impression of other people. What the old concubine didn't know was that even if Wei Tingyu hadn't happened, Xiaocao would not have married into the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion, and one of the reasons was the old concubine herself - she picked and chose one after a lot, and even waited for more than a year, but the result was such a thing!
The old empress dowager thinks her grandson is perfect in every way, so why is it that they have a weak relationship and are having so much trouble getting married
He has been working very hard and has shouldered a lot. Can't he find someone caring and caring to take care of him
"Xiao Bei, it's Grandma's fault for not investigating the matter thoroughly, causing my grandson to suffer injustice. Grandma will definitely find you a good one. This time we will investigate thoroughly and will never let the same thing happen again."
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about your grandson's marriage for the time being..."
The old concubine stiffened slightly, but fortunately she was usually serious and rarely showed her emotions, so no one noticed.
"It will take more than a day or two to find the right one. Even if we find one, we can't get married in a hurry. But my grandson is going to the northern border and I don't know when he will return. We can't let the girl wait like this, right?"
Mu Bei didn't know that there would be a heavy snowstorm this winter, which would greatly weaken Liuqi's follow-up forces. In his opinion, this "final battle", even if Qi Chao was fully prepared, would not be finished in a short time facing Liuqi's elite soldiers and generals. Moreover, there was never a certainty on the battlefield, and there was no reason to let the girl waste her best years in vain.
“You also said that you don’t know when you will be back. If we really wait until the fight is over, how old will you be? It is still unknown whether I can wait until then. Besides, if you have a million…” The old concubine seemed unable to control her emotions.
"Grandmother, maybe it's God's will. Maybe my grandson has to wait until the Northern Frontier is stable before he can settle down. If by some chance my grandson is buried in the Northern Frontier, you don't have to be too sad. Changning is also the blood of our Mu family. If she gives birth to a child in the future, you can bring one back and continue the incense of our Mu family. Tomorrow I will go to see the emperor and ask for his permission. I will also ask the emperor that if that day comes, this child will no longer follow the martial arts."
The old concubine clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, "So, Xiaobei, have you thought about it?"
Mu Bei suddenly smiled, "Grandma, I came back from the gates of hell last time. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. When I go to Northern Xinjiang again, maybe everything will go smoothly. I may meet a woman like Guangsi again. Don't expect the worst, right?" After talking about it, Mu Bei felt quite relieved.
Princess Changning's wedding date is in March next year, which is one month earlier than Mu Bei's original wedding date. However, since Mu Bei is getting married for the second time, he doesn't need to worry too much about this issue. After all, the wedding date is calculated based on the horoscopes of the man and woman, and it must be auspicious for both parties and not conflicting.
Princess Changning would indeed marry into the royal family. The groom was the nephew of Emperor Xuanren and would become a prince in the future. His father had been a staunch supporter of Emperor Xuanren. Therefore, after Emperor Xuanren ascended the throne, he was not marginalized by power. However, due to his limited abilities, as a prince, he only worked in the Ministry of Rites, mainly in charge of some matters of the royal family.
Therefore, if Princess Changning wants to bring her child back to the Mu family, she must get Emperor Xuanren’s consent.
The old concubine looked at Mu Bei for a long time. He was calm and determined, and it seemed that he had really made up his mind. "In that case, I'll do as you say." Even so, his spirit was still somewhat dissipated.
Mu Bei felt somewhat guilty.
Because Mu Bei did not hide anything, the matchmaker from the Prince's Mansion went to the Fang family the next day, took the things back with a stern look on their faces, and mocked the girl from the Fang family for having a mental problem. How could she be treated so badly? She was deeply in love with her cousin, where was the law? She would never get what she wanted in her life, and after she did such a thing, who would dare to ask for her hand in marriage? She could only expect a lifetime of misery!
Before the matchmaker left, he turned back and said, "Pah, what a thing!"
Naturally, this matter spread throughout the imperial city at the fastest speed, causing people to talk about it.
