Chapter 397: Shocked by the sudden marriage
"So that's how it is. This is a really good idea!" The queen nodded repeatedly.
"When the time comes, I will settle the bill with Her Majesty the Queen. I will deduct the amount of my compensation from the total value of the goods. If there is any surplus, I will return it to Her Majesty the Queen. If it is not enough to offset the deduction, Her Majesty the Queen will give me the difference. As long as we are actively handling this matter, the people will not have too many objections. If they really meet the kind of people who will not give up until they see money, I can also take out that little money."
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" The queen was relieved of a heavy burden at once.
"Your Majesty, I have another request. Your Majesty must send someone to accompany me throughout the process of counting all the goods. It would be best if you could also invite the Queen Mother's confidants to participate in the whole process."
"Don't worry, even if the Queen Mother refuses, I will still invite her people over."
"Well, this will save you some trouble."
"You are thoughtful." The Queen looked at Ji Chuhe with admiration, "I invite you to come here today because of another matter."
"Queen, please speak."
"The Emperor suddenly talked to me about the Third Prince's marriage. It turns out that he already had a plan in mind."
"Which girl does the emperor want to marry to the third prince?"
"Duke Rong's Mansion, Rong Qingqing."
"Qingqing!" Ji Chuhe was surprised.
"From what the Emperor said, this matter has been decided. We just need to find a suitable time to announce it. So I will talk to you first, so that the people in the Rongguo Mansion can prepare in advance."
When Ji Chuhe came out of the palace, she was still full of shock.
In the previous life, Qingqing would never have had any contact with the Third Prince.
Compared with the Fourth Prince, the Third Prince is so ordinary.
She remembered clearly that the Fourth Prince married a girl from the Luo family.
In her previous life, when she died, the third prince had not yet married.
But in this life, such great changes have taken place!
To be honest, if she had a choice, she absolutely did not want Qingqing to marry the Third Prince. She hoped that she would find a man she loved and spend the rest of her life in peace and happiness.
Ji Chuhe did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went directly to the Duke's Mansion.
She wanted to tell the people in the Duke's Mansion about this matter as soon as possible to see if there was any room for improvement.
When the people in the Duke's Mansion heard that Ji Chuhe had arrived, they happily gathered in the old lady's room.
"He'er hasn't been here for a long time. No matter what, you have to have dinner before going back." The speaker was the second wife.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Ji Chuhe responded enthusiastically.
"He'er, why didn't Yan An come with you? What is he busy with?" The old lady asked Ji Chuhe.
"Grandmother, I came from the palace. Today, the Queen summoned me to the palace to discuss something."
"Is it to discuss ***?"
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
"When will *** leave Beijing? Has the date been set?"
"It's settled. Five days from now, she will be able to show her filial piety to the Queen Mother. After all, she will never have the chance to return to the imperial capital again."
"She reaped the fruits of her own actions. Now that this matter has been settled, I am relieved." The eldest lady spoke slowly, "And Liao Yunfei, I can finally divorce her. She deserves it! I want to send her to a nunnery to practice Buddhism, and from now on, she will be accompanied by the Buddha for the rest of her life."
"Aunt, I think everyone has her own choice. As for how Liao Yunfei arranges her life in the future, it is up to her to decide. From what I know about her, she will definitely not go to a nunnery. Aunt, you should stop worrying about her and just let her go." Ji Chuhe advised immediately.
She also didn't want the first lady to get involved with Liao Yunfei, the venomous snake.
Liao Yunfei is the kind of person who only remembers grudges and not kindness.
"Yes, He'er, what you said makes sense. How could she be willing to become a nun?" The eldest lady nodded in agreement.
"Grandma, aunt, I have another very important matter to discuss today. It concerns you." Ji Chuhe turned the subject to the main business.
"What's wrong with Qingqing?" the eldest lady asked hurriedly.
"The Queen told me that the Emperor intends to marry Qingqing to the Third Prince."
"What!" the eldest lady exclaimed.
"How is this possible?" The second wife was also shocked.
The old lady frowned and did not approve of this marriage.
Hearing that Ji Chuhe was coming, Rong Qingqing trotted to her grandmother's yard. As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard these words and was petrified.
"Miss." Someone called out.
Everyone in the room looked outside.
"Qingqing." The eldest lady called out, hurried over and took her hand.
"Mother, didn't you promise me that you would let me choose a husband that suits my needs?" Rong Qingqing's eyes turned red.
The eldest lady choked and held her in her arms.
The other ladies also felt distressed.
Ji Chuhe also lowered his head, feeling very unhappy.
"Okay, don't cry yet. Let your grandfather, father, and uncles think of a solution for this matter." After the old lady finished speaking, she waved to Rong Qingqing, "Come, come to grandma."
Rong Qingqing raised her head from her mother's arms, walked towards her grandmother, and threw herself into her grandmother's arms.
"Grandmother, I don't want to marry the Third Prince. If I had known, I would have listened to you and quickly arranged my marriage. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so willful."
Rong Qingqing's personality has changed a lot since she heard the cruel story Ji Chuhe told her.
But she has always been very stubborn about marriage.
Unexpectedly, before she found her ideal husband, she was betrothed to someone she didn't like.
"Don't be willful. You are still young. Even if you find someone you like, your grandmother, your mother, and your aunts will not be willing to marry you off so early." The old lady comforted softly.
"Grandmother, I heard that the emperor also intended to let my aunt enter the palace as a concubine. My aunt finally chose Prince Huaiyang and stayed away from the imperial capital. I can also avoid the third prince and choose a man I love, right?" Rong Qingqing was terrified.
Back then, by not allowing Xiaowu to enter the palace as a concubine, the Rongguo Mansion was gambled with the entire glory of the entire mansion!
Today, the situation is different.
Even the old lady didn't dare to agree to her granddaughter's request outright.
Rong Qingqing didn't ask any more questions. After all, she was still a child at heart, and immediately ran to Ji Chuhe.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that the prince divorced Liao Yunfei. Is it true?" There were still tears on Rong Qingqing's little face, but she smiled again.
"Yes." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Great, we finally got rid of this dog-skin plaster!" Rong Qingqing said, then turned and looked at her mother, "Mother, you must not be soft-hearted this time. You must not bring Liao Yunfei back to the Duke's Mansion. If you dare to bring Liao Yunfei back, we will sever our mother-daughter relationship!"
The eldest lady was completely humiliated by her daughter's words, and her expression was so embarrassed that it was beyond words.
