Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Lady Anguo placed the teacup back on the small table beside her, raised her eyes, looked at Princess Changqing, and said with a light smile, "I see."

The combination of the renowned War King and the Tang family's second daughter, born out of wedlock and recently reinstated to her official position, seems rather unusual.

But having lived to this age, she knew that everything had a cause and effect. Since the royal family had made up their minds, there must be a reason that she didn't know. Of course, she wouldn't be so tactless as to dig into the matter, but there would probably be no shortage of curious people.

Thinking of this, Lady Anguo said calmly, "The Tang family has a good family tradition, so the second daughter of the Tang family must also be quite good."

Princess Changqing knew from her reaction that the old lady had understood her meaning and had no intention of refusing.

Princess Changqing then followed up on the topic, making her point more clearly, and said in a lighter tone, "Indeed. Both children are excellent, and in my opinion, they are a perfect match. However, the matchmaker needs to be a respected elder who is also respected by both families. After much thought, I think you, Madam, are the most suitable person."

Lady Anguo smiled gently and replied, "I am deeply grateful for the Princess's trust in entrusting me with such a wonderful matter. His Highness the Prince of War is valiant and capable, and Miss Tang is virtuous and outstanding. If we can bring them together as a perfect couple, it would indeed be a wonderful match."

Lady Anguo changed the subject slightly and continued, "This matter concerns the reputation of both families, and even more so the lives of the two children. We cannot be careless in the slightest when it comes to etiquette and protocol. As for how to proceed, I will go back and consider it carefully, and then discuss it in detail with the princess. We must do it in a dignified and respectable manner, so as not to fail the princess's expectations, nor to fail the two children."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changqing's smile immediately became genuine and relaxed. She said with a smile, "With Madam's words, I can rest assured!"

Then, Princess Changqing personally picked up the teapot and poured some hot tea for the Duchess of Anguo, saying, "Everything will be done according to Madam's wishes. I will fully cooperate on my side."

Lady Anguo smiled and nodded, accepting the tea personally poured by the princess, thus firmly taking over the matter.

The princess's enthusiasm suggested that the War King was also very interested. But she didn't need to ask or delve into these matters.

The two understood each other implicitly and stopped talking about the topic, instead focusing on appreciating the flowers and chatting about seasonal blooms and interesting anecdotes.

When the Duchess of Anguo left the mansion, Princess Changqing personally saw her off at the second gate, her attitude even more intimate than when she arrived.

Watching the carriage of the Duchess of Anguo depart into the distance, Princess Changqing's eyes were full of smiles, and she was very satisfied.

As for Lady Anguo, upon returning to her residence, she dismissed all attendants except for her most trusted dowry maid.

She leaned against the soft couch by the window, pondered for a moment, and whispered, "Go, investigate the Tang family carefully, especially the second daughter. What is her temperament like, what does she do on a daily basis, how does she get along with her sisters and parents, and are there any rumors circulating outside? Be sure to keep a low profile and don't attract attention."

The old woman replied in a low voice, "Madam, although I am unaware of any news about the second young lady of the Tang family, I have heard some news about Lord Tang these past two days."

Lady Anguo nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

The old woman understood immediately and added, "I heard that all the important officials who were exiled to the northern desert have been reinstated, but this Lord Tang is even more valued than them. I heard that he has cultivated two new crops, and the promotion of these new crops has also been given to Lord Tang. You should know that this Lord Tang is working in the Ministry of Works."

Lady Anguo naturally understood what the old woman had left unsaid. This was something that the Ministry of Works should not have been responsible for, but it had been handed over to this Lord Tang. The Emperor not only felt that he understood the situation, but also trusted him greatly.

Lady Anguo didn't say much, only calmly replying, "Hmm, I understand. Send someone to inquire about the Second Miss Tang's whereabouts!"

Upon hearing this, the old nanny quickly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Madam, this old servant will go right away."

In the following days, Tang Wan's life seemed to proceed smoothly without much turbulence.

She spent most of her time with her older sister, Tang Jing, following her mother, Wang, and becoming familiar with the household affairs.

Just two days later, Tang Bojun was summoned by the Emperor. When Tang Bojun returned to his residence that day, it was already nearly dusk.

He went straight to his study and didn't come out for a long time.

The family didn't gather in the dining room until dinner time.

Tang Bojun appeared calm and even more relaxed than the previous two days, but there was still a hint of worry in his expression.

As her husband's bedmate, how could Wang not understand him?

She hesitated several times before finally holding back. Since her husband hadn't spoken up yet, it probably wasn't appropriate for the daughters to hear it together. In that case, it would be better to ask them individually later.

After the meal, Tang Jing and Tang Wan took their leave, while Tang Bojun and his wife spoke in the inner room.

Tang Bojun slowly took a sip of tea before whispering to his concerned wife, "His Majesty summoned me today and asked about the promotion of potatoes and corn. Based on Wan'er's suggestion last time and my own considerations, I handled the situation quite well, and His Majesty seemed quite satisfied with it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Tang was initially delighted, but then frowned and hurriedly asked, "This is a good thing, but why does Master...?" Why did he seem somewhat worried?

Tang Bojun put down his teacup, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously. After a moment, he said, "After His Majesty asked about the promotion of agricultural products, he mentioned the recovery of the young prince and praised the Tang family for their excellent parenting."

Madam Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Your Majesty... what does this mean?"

Tang Bojun shook his head, his gaze fixed on the night outside the window, his voice lowered even further: "The Emperor's mind is unfathomable. But since it has been brought up, it is not just a casual remark. However, I am certain of his specific intentions."

There are some guesses, but they seem a bit far-fetched. Perhaps when the Prince of War invited her back to the capital to handle some business, the Emperor noticed Wan'er, or perhaps it was just a casual question.

The couple exchanged a glance and both saw the complex emotions in each other's eyes.

After a moment, Madam Tang sighed softly and said, "Shouldn't we hurry up and arrange a marriage for Wan'er?"

As a daughter, if she were to be chosen by the royal family, she would likely only be welcomed into the palace as a concubine.

Even worse is entering the palace as a concubine of moderate rank.

Either way, it's not a good outcome for the second daughter.

Thinking about this made Wang even more worried.

Although Wan'er was not her biological daughter, she felt that Wan'er treated her like a real mother over the past year, and she also treated Wan'er with sincerity.

Knowing Wan'er as she does, she probably wouldn't be able to accept such a marriage. What should she do?

Seeing Wang's increasingly anxious expression, Tang Bojun said in a deep voice, "Let's wait and see. What's meant to happen will happen. If we rush into finding a match now, firstly, we might not find a suitable one, and secondly, if we make too obvious a move, we might displease His Majesty."

After all, His Majesty had just hinted at it, and for us to be so eager to make an appointment is really not the right timing. (End of Chapter)
