Chapter 216 Concubine Jing Acts as Matchmaker
After hearing what her daughter said, Zhou gave up the idea of marriage between the two families.
Yes, although Gu Heng is a good man, he has another woman in his heart. If Weiwei marries him, she will suffer grievances for the rest of her life.
Just wait a little longer, my daughter will definitely find her own happiness.
That afternoon, Gu Heng asked a matchmaker to go to the Lu family's house and ask if they had any intention of getting married.
If Lu Ziwei is willing to marry, he will go to her house in person to propose.
Zhou declined with a smile, and she felt sorry when the matchmaker left.
Gu Heng is really a good candidate. He stood up at the critical moment and saved Weiwei's reputation.
He is also upright, talented, and handsome...
In fact, feelings can be cultivated. Her daughter Weiwei is also a very good child. Maybe if the two of them spend a long time together, they will fall in love with each other.
Whose marriage is not arranged in the name of parents and matchmaker? How many women only saw their husband’s appearance on the wedding night, and didn’t they live a happy life anyway?
Forget it, since Vivi doesn’t want to, then forget it.
Not long after the matchmaker left, Nanny Yu, who was by the queen's side, arrived.
It was about Lu Youcai. Lu Youcai had disappeared before, and the second wife couldn't find him, so she asked Old Zhu to ask the queen for help.
It is just to let the queen put pressure on the first wife.
The queen didn't want to intervene. Although she hated the second house, Lu Youcai was her nephew after all, and she certainly couldn't ignore it.
Now that Lu Youcai has returned in a crazy state, it is only right that the Queen send someone to ask what is going on.
Zhou followed Nanny Yu directly into the palace and told the queen what had happened to Lu Ziwei.
The queen was so angry that she wanted to capture Lu Youcai and behead him.
"Queen, calm down. This matter shouldn't be made into a big deal, otherwise it will damage Weiwei's reputation."
"Since Old Seven has already taught me a lesson, let's just leave it at that."
The Queen asked about Lu Ziwei's situation with concern, and asked her if she had any intention of marrying Gu Heng?
"Okay, I understand."
"Let Weiwei come to the palace tomorrow. I haven't seen her for a while."
"Oh, let Jiaojiao come along. Qingwan and Qingyin will be coming of age after the Lunar New Year, so it's time to get ready."
"Jiaojiao has good taste. Let her come over and help choose some materials and jewelry."
Zhou agreed with a smile, and the two of them entered the palace together after lunch the next day.
Su Yujiao also wanted to take this opportunity to remind the queen that the two princesses were in danger on the day of their coming-of-age banquet.
The original book wrote that the two princesses disappeared on the day of their coming-of-age banquet, and when they were found, they had already been defiled, raped, and then killed.
The queen became crazy because of this...
The Queen and the Crown Prince are both crucial figures. If they fall, Concubine Jing and her son will immediately rise up, and the outcome is doomed to be unchangeable.
What's more, the two little princesses were so innocent and kind that she couldn't bear to see them have such a tragic end.
Therefore, she couldn't just ignore it.
The two of them entered the palace, picked out the fabric, chose the style, and matched the appropriate jewelry. Soon the afternoon had passed.
"Cousin, the peonies in the Imperial Garden are in bloom. Let's go play in the Imperial Garden."
Fourteen or fifteen years old is the age when people love to play. The two little princesses were already bored after sitting so obediently for the whole afternoon.
The queen said angrily, "Go ahead."
Su Yujiao didn't have the chance to speak and could only wait for the next opportunity.
As soon as the four arrived at the Imperial Garden, they met the Emperor and Concubine Jing who were taking a walk.
The two little princesses immediately hung their heads, feeling extremely disappointed, but they did not dare to show it and could only bow politely.
Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei also knelt down and saluted.
"Stand up." The emperor's tone was quite kind.
The four girls lowered their heads together, as if they wanted the Queen and Concubine Jing to leave quickly.
Concubine Jing's eyes swept over Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei, and she suddenly said gracefully, "Raise your heads so I can see you."
Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei looked up at her together.
Concubine Jing is forty years old, but she looks as young as a thirty-year-old. She has fair skin and appropriate makeup. She is neither seductive nor dull, but just right, graceful and elegant.
Her temperament and innate confidence and pride made her look like a daughter carefully nurtured by a prominent family with a long history.
She is incomparable to the native-born queen. Whether in temperament, demeanor, talent or appearance, Concubine Jing crushes the queen.
After all, one cannot expect a country shrew like Mrs. Zhu to make the queen rich and powerful.
What's more, with Mrs. Zhu's family background, even if she is his biological mother, she doesn't have the conditions to pamper him even if she wants to!
Therefore, judging from appearance alone, Concubine Jing is more like a queen than an empress.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising that Concubine Jing was the only favorite, after all, there is no man who doesn’t love beauty.
Such stunning beauty!
Theoretically speaking, the emperor was also a poor man who suddenly became rich.
Before he became the emperor, he couldn't even get enough to eat. After he became the emperor, the princess who was once unattainable to him took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Who could resist this!?
Therefore, it seems reasonable that the emperor loves Concubine Jing and the children she gave birth to.
It's just too unfair to the Queen.
She accompanied the emperor through thick and thin, but in the end she ended up making wedding dresses for others.
Concubine Jing stared at Su Yujiao again and again. Is this the woman Yuan'er likes?
She is very beautiful and has excellent medical skills. I heard that she is also a good cook and has the ability to make money. She will definitely be of help to Yuan'er in the future.
Concubine Jing looked at her like she was looking at her daughter-in-law. After seeing each other, she was generally satisfied.
At least she's better than Li Jianjia, who's a jealous idiot.
In the past, she was attracted by the Li family's family background, but now that the Li family is finished, it is time for her to find a new imperial concubine for her son.
Then, she shifted her gaze to Lu Ziwei, and a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"This girl is the Queen's niece. I remember your name is Weiwei?"
"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty Concubine Jing." Lu Ziwei bowed again reluctantly.
Concubine Jing looked at her and nodded with satisfaction: "I have also heard about your story. You are such a miserable girl."
"But with the Emperor making the decision for you, your future will only get better and better."
"Have you found a suitable marriage partner?"
Lu Ziwei suddenly became alarmed, she felt that Concubine Jing was up to no good.
But she didn't know what to do. If she said no, what if Concubine Jing acted as a matchmaker and arranged a marriage randomly?
If so, where can she find a fiancé?
Su Yujiao's heart was also beating like thunder. Seeing that Lu Ziwei was silent, she immediately answered for her, "Replying to Concubine Jing, Weiwei has already made an engagement with Master Gu Heng yesterday."
When Concubine Jing saw Su Yujiao speaking for Lu Ziwei, she looked displeased.
"I heard that the Gu family proposed marriage, but the Lu family rejected it."
Lu Ziwei's heart skipped a beat. Concubine Jing was indeed secretly monitoring every move of the General's Mansion.
"In my opinion, the Gu family and the Lu family have such a huge disparity in status that they are indeed not a good match."
"How about I help you be a matchmaker?"
