save the bachelors

Chapter 4730 [Queen's Position]

Without mentioning Aunt Xue's family's preparations to go to Beijing, let's just talk about the Jia family. Ever since Jia Zheng was named Prince Rong, the three young ladies of the Jia family, Yuanchun, Yingchun, and Tanchun, have become popular, and people often come to propose marriage to them.

Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough, so the Jia family naturally considered the marriages of Yuanchun and Yingchun. As for Tanchun, she was too young, only twelve years old after the New Year, and had to wait another two years.

As Jia Zheng's legitimate daughter and eldest daughter, Yuanchun's marriage was naturally the most important. Jia Zheng and Lady Wang had to screen her candidates repeatedly.

"My eldest sister's husband must be carefully selected and we must not be careless." Xiang Nan was very concerned about this matter.

In the original novel, Jia Yuanchun was so miserable. She was sent to the palace to work at a very young age. Not only was she separated from her family, but she also had to endure countless hardships.

Anyone who has watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" knows that saying the wrong thing in the palace could result in someone's death.

Although she was later named Consort Xian De, she was not favored because eunuchs often came to the Jia Mansion to blackmail, extort, and extort. If Yuanchun was really favored in the palace, those eunuchs would definitely not dare to commit suicide.

Later, she died in a brutal political struggle and was killed while pregnant. With her death, the Jia family officially fell into decline.

It can be said that she lived her entire life for the Jia family and had hardly ever had a day of her own, so Xiang Nan paid special attention to Yuanchun's marriage.

I want to help her find a husband of her dreams, so that I can repay her for her decades of dedication.

"Little kid, what do you know?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile when she heard him say that.

"How could I not know that my elder sister has worked hard in the palace for our Jia family for several years." Xiang Nan pouted and said, "She has made such a great contribution to the family, of course we must choose a good husband for her, and we must not let her suffer any grievances again."

"My son, you are so clear-headed." Mrs. Wang was very moved when she heard this. She didn't expect Xiang Nan, who looked so young, to be so sensible.

……

At this time, a servant came to report that my uncle Wang Ziteng and his wife had arrived.

Xiang Nan then went to Rong Xi Tang to meet the guests.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng went to receive Mrs. Wang.

Xiang Nan came to Rong Xi Tang, met his uncle Wang Ziteng, and then sat down to chat.

"Yesterday the Emperor chose me to come to the palace to discuss something with me." Wang Ziteng said to Jia Zheng and Xiang Nan, "He said that Yuanchun is prudent, diligent, docile, gentle, pure, and kind, and he hopes to make Yuanchun the empress."

"Really?! This is truly the emperor's great favor. How can I, Jia Zheng, dare to accept it!" Jia Zheng said excitedly when he heard it.

"This is not appropriate. The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Even if you become the queen, you still have to deal with so many people. It's too hard." Xiang Nan was not happy when he heard it, "I think we should just forget it."

There are so many things to do in the palace, and the queen is the mother of the country, controlling the six palaces. It is not easy to be one. In "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", the queen is so tired that she wants to die. Of course, those novels are exaggerated, but it is indeed not easy to be a queen.

"What do you know? It's such a blessing that Yuanchun can be crowned as queen." Jia Zheng immediately scolded.

"How much grace can it be?" Xiang Nan curled his lips. "When a man and a woman are together, the key is whether they are compatible. If they are not compatible with each other and do not love each other, what does it matter if you are the queen?"

"Nonsense! Where did you hear such absurd words?" Jia Zheng immediately scolded him, "Marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. There is no such nonsense as what you say."

"Master, my eldest sister is your biological daughter. You sent her to the palace before, and now you want to send her to the palace again? My eldest sister is also a human being. She also has feelings, and she will miss home. You sent her to that shameful place, and she will never be able to leave the palace and see her family again. Have you ever thought about her? How much torture that is for her!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but say angrily when he heard Jia Zheng say this.

Life in the palace is not as good as imagined, otherwise, there would not be so many "Palace Complaint Poems" and "Palace Complaint Lyrics" from ancient times to the present.

The Jia family had no choice before. In order to curry favor with the emperor, they could only send their young daughter to the palace, hoping that one day they would be favored by the emperor, and their family would be promoted and gain wealth.

But now that the Jia family has unlimited wealth and splendor without having to curry favor with the emperor, why should they send their daughter to the palace? Wouldn't that be too inhumane?

After hearing what Xiang Nan said, Jia Zheng felt a little ashamed.

Indeed, he owed a lot to his eldest daughter Yuanchun.

She was originally a daughter of a duke, a spoiled child, but at a young age she was sent to the palace to serve the queen and concubines. For several years, she suffered a lot.

Now that she has finally left the palace, how can I bear to send her back? In comparison, Yingchun and Tanchun have enjoyed a carefree and happy life for more than ten years.

"Well, forget about Yuanchun entering the palace." Jia Zheng then waved his hand to Wang Ziteng and said, "Your sister and I only have this one daughter. We want her to be around more and don't want to send her to the palace again."

"Don't be so quick to object. There is still room for discussion." Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Zheng and Xiang Nan, father and son, disagreed, so he quickly said with a smile.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan sent Wang Ziteng away, "Uncle, go back and tell the emperor that there is no need to worry. I came to the human world just to enjoy wealth and glory, and I really have no interest in his throne. So advise him not to have these little thoughts."

He guessed that the reason why the emperor made Yuanchun the queen was because he was afraid that Xiang Nan would seize his throne one day, so he chose to marry into the Jia family.

At that time, he might show mercy for his sister's sake.

"My dear nephew, you worry too much. The emperor definitely doesn't think so." Wang Ziteng smiled awkwardly.

"Whether it's true or not, he knows it in his heart, and so do I." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Tell him not to think that marrying my sister will solve his problem once and for all. If he really becomes my brother-in-law, I will never let him go if he dares to treat my sister badly. At that time, it would be nice to let my sister rule the country from behind the scenes."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell His Majesty what you said." Wang Ziteng became more and more frightened as he listened. He quickly waved his hands, not daring to listen any further.

If I listen any further, I don’t know how many outrageous words Xiang Nan will say.

Xiang Nan nodded and said no more.

After sending Wang Ziteng out the door, he was about to turn around and leave when he saw an old lady with white hair and a dusty look standing at the opposite wall. She had a child of about four or five years old with her, and they were staring at the gate of the mansion.

Xiang Nan was stunned, looked at the doorman and asked, "Who is that old man?"

"I'm not sure, Master. It seems like they are here to look for Zhou Rui's family." The concierge said hurriedly, "But Zhou Rui's family has already been sent away."

"Go and ask her what she wants to do with Zhou Rui's family?" Xiang Nan asked.

The doorman went there immediately and came back after a while, "My Lord, her name is Liu, and she wants to see Madam. She said that her son-in-law's father once had a clan connection with Madam's father..."
