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! ”
