Chapter 2410-increasing difficulty
“When second Gu’s sons were talking about marriage, the Crown Prince had already grown up. His grandson wasn’t too worried about fourth brother Gu. I’m a little worried about this big Gu couple! If you don’t find a good wife for en Zi, it will be a bit difficult for the first household in the future!” The Emperor sighed.
“You’re right. A qualified matriarch will benefit three generations of her descendants, while an unqualified one will harm the later generations.” The Grand Empress Dowager nodded her head as she spoke.
“This Zheng Qiu … I met her once when I passed by Jiangnan when I went out to play in plain clothes. At that time, she should have only been ten or eleven years old. She had followed her foster father to do the autopsy. At that age, she indeed looked more mature than her peers. At that time, her grandson really thought that she was a kid and thought that this kid had potential. He even reminded old Qin to pay more attention to her. Sure enough, he didn’t disappoint his grandson. This year, old Qin directly brought her back to Beijing. Then old Qin said that she was actually a girl, and I thought that if she was a girl, then so be it, as long as she could work.” The Emperor continued.
The emperor’s first impression of Zheng Qiu was very good. It was when he had brought Xue Qianyu out to play, from Jiangnan to Dingzhou, and met the Gu family. He had met Zheng Qiu in Jiangnan.
Zheng Qiu had truly surprised him at the time, and he had also asked Sir Qin, who had been a magistrate in Jiangnan, to train and guide Zheng Qiu.
However, Zheng Qiu did not know any of this.
“Hearing en Zi and Xin Xin talk about it, I also feel that she is a steady girl. Let’s see how she’ll settle her family’s Affairs! As for the Zheng family, we won’t do anything unless it’s absolutely necessary. Let Xinxin and the others help her. When the time is right, we can also make things more difficult for that child.” The Grand Empress Dowager said with a smile.
“Royal grandmother, you are not being honest at all! She’s already having a hard time, and you’re making things even more difficult for her?” The Emperor said with a gloating smile.
“This is a test. Besides, she wouldn’t be in trouble and could even solve the problem in the end. It’s just a test of her ability to deal with things.” The Grand Empress Dowager said calmly.
“Imperial grandmother, if she passes the test but we find that en Zi does not have any love for her, then what should we do?” The Emperor asked again.
“Then I’ll help Xinxin’s friend. If she could pass the test, then her character and ability would be enough for her to find her Ideal Husband. This is no loss to anyone.” The Grand Empress Dowager said calmly.
“It seems that Imperial grandmother still values her benefactor the most! Even you, Imperial grandmother, aren’t as careful as Huihui is when she’s talking about the person she’s been thinking about.” The Emperor was just short of saying,”grandmother, you value men over women.”
“Other than Huihui and niannian, Xinxin and sisi can be said to be childhood sweethearts. Everyone knows each other well, so who doesn’t know who? The Duke Zhengguo’s mansion was the most complicated place. Now that the Duke Zhengguo was only thinking about Lu Zheng, what was there to worry about? Besides, with Lu Zheng’s ability, his love for Xinxin, and our Xinxin’s own ability, what’s there to worry about?” The Empress Dowager explained.
“That’s true. Besides, Peng ze, Xue Qianyu, Lu Zheng, and Huo Junhao were the best men in the Zhou Dynasty. All of them were won over by the four Gu sisters in one go. Your grandson has heard the Empress mention it before, and some of the wives are even envious and jealous in private!” The Emperor laughed.
