Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1126 The Murderer in the Dark 37
If Prince Qingjiang wanted to get married whenever he could, he would definitely be able to get married successfully. After all, no matter how old he is, his status as a prince is there, and there are still families who are greedy for wealth and glory and are willing to marry their daughters to him.

Although Prince Qingjiang is old and already has a crown prince, he can still take a gamble. After all, as a small family, the conditions are not good to begin with, and it doesn't matter if he loses the gamble. But if he wins the gamble, his daughter gives birth to a son, and Prince Qingjiang lives a long life, he can replace the son born by his daughter as the crown prince, then everything will be in place.

Since Prince Qingjiang's goal was to marry a concubine, his social background didn't matter, so he quickly found a marriage proposal that he liked.

The other party is the daughter of a sixth-rank minor official from a poor family in Beijing. Her family has no background, and the minor official himself does not have much ability and has no income. She cannot afford to run for office even if she wants to. Even if she wants to rely on someone, she must be valuable. If she is not valuable, no one will want her no matter who she wants to rely on.

So when they heard that Prince Qingjiang was planning to marry a concubine, they felt that the opportunity had come.

Although Prince Qingjiang is an idle prince far away from the royal family and does not have much power, by becoming a relative of Prince Qingjiang, he will be closer to the royal family and may be able to find an opportunity to develop his network.

Besides, even if he had nothing, his daughter would have some income as a concubine, which could be used to seek official positions.

When his daughter first heard that she was going to marry an old man in his forties, she was naturally unwilling. After all, a beautiful girl in her twenties wouldn't want to marry a young man. Who would want to marry an old man?

But... her family told her that the other party was a prince, and that if she married him she would be a princess. This noble status was not something that everyone could obtain. Even if she was unwilling, there were many people who were willing. It was said that Prince Qingjiang could choose any girl from the families of officials below the fifth rank in the capital. If that was not possible, there were countless rich men of no rank, and their daughters were eager to become princesses. If she was unwilling, the matchmaker would immediately exclude her and look for someone else.

After hearing what her parents said, the girl quickly forgot about her grievances and felt that this marriage was indeed a good one. After all, ever since her father passed the imperial examination and she came to Beijing, she always felt inferior in this prosperous city that never sleeps. There was no other reason for this, because there were too many rich and powerful people in Beijing.

In the past, her family had always been respected in her hometown because her father had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar many years ago and had a very high status in her hometown. Wherever she went, people would take the initiative to greet her enthusiastically.

But when you arrive in the capital, things are different.

There are too many rich and powerful people in the capital, and no one knows her. Who will take the initiative to greet her enthusiastically when she goes out? Even the sixth and seventh rank officials in the capital are too low, and there are dignitaries everywhere, let alone respecting her. It is she who needs to respect others everywhere.

In addition to this, there is also the financial aspect that makes her feel like she doesn't fit in here.

There are too many wealthy people in the capital. When spending money, they don't even mention copper coins, but silver and gold. They often spend hundreds or thousands of taels, or even more. They live a life of luxury and extravagance, which is the atmosphere of the capital.

But their family came from a poor family, so where did they get the money?

Although they were from a poor family, in fact, in the countryside, their family conditions were quite good, and were considered to be among the best in the village. After all, if the conditions were too poor, how could they afford to send their children to school?

But no matter how good their conditions were, they could only spend twenty or thirty taels of silver a year and did not have that much money to spend lavishly.

So when she arrived in the capital, a den of money, she naturally felt that she didn't have enough money everywhere. In fact, after her father became an official, he already had a lot of gray income, which was much better than his previous life in the countryside.

But the expenses in Beijing are also high.

In the countryside, their family's clothing was considered the best in the village and they were the envy of others. But when they arrived in the capital, their clothes were too shabby, and to buy a few sets of nice clothes and jewelry, they would need hundreds of taels of money.

But she had to buy it, because no matter in the countryside or in the capital, most people respect the clothes before the person. Why are they respected in the countryside? Why do others take the initiative to greet them warmly when they see them? It is because her father is a scholar and has a certain social status, and her family is dressed better, so the country people admire them.

So what they encountered in the capital was very normal, because it was not much different from the countryside. The only difference was that when they were in the countryside, their family was the envy of others, but now, they have become villagers and the envy of others.

Their previous social status was nothing in the capital city which was full of princes and nobles; their better clothes in the countryside were not even as good as those of ordinary maids in the homes of rich and powerful people in the capital city - not to mention being inferior to the head maids, even the clothes of ordinary maids were not as good as those of their family members, so it was normal for them to become the envy of others.

This psychological gap was fatal to her as a young girl at that time, so she was naturally willing to get married to change her destiny and class.

Although the other party is a little older, being able to become a super princess is probably a treatment she would never be able to ask for in her entire life, so Miss Wang naturally agreed.

But in fact, she was willing, but she didn't know whether Prince Qingjiang was willing or not. After all, he had plenty of options.

Fortunately, after seeing each other, Prince Qingjiang was satisfied with her appearance, so the marriage was settled.

After it was decided, Qingjiang Palace began to go through the process.

However, because he was marrying a concubine, and Prince Qingjiang was over 40 years old and his grandsons were already grown up, it was not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony, so the process was very quick, and the newlyweds entered the palace in just three months.

It has to be said that no one in the Manchu mansion wanted Prince Qingjiang to have a second concubine, so after this second concubine entered the mansion, she was naturally disliked by everyone in the Manchu mansion.

But everyone knew that the other party was the principal wife and they would have to live under her in the future, so as long as Concubine Wang did not cause trouble for everyone, no one would dare to cause trouble for Concubine Wang. After all, if they annoyed the principal wife, she would just have to use any tricks to make the concubines suffer a fate worse than death.

Not to mention that the concubine is younger than them, I don't know how to torment these concubines who are older than her. Let alone other things, can't I set rules for them? There are ready-made methods in the capital, just copy them.

But will Concubine Wang not cause trouble for everyone?
It may not happen at the beginning, but Linlang estimates that within two or three months, when Concubine Wang understands the situation in the mansion, coupled with the instigation of the eldest girl, she will probably ask the Crown Prince's wife for the right to manage the household, and then there may be a commotion.

Of course, the Crown Prince's wife doesn't seem to be stupid. She is a smart person. She may voluntarily hand over the housekeeper's power at that time, so that there will be no conflict with the Stepmother.
