In this rare experience of going out, no one blatantly felt sorry for Zhen Qingyin. Zhen Qingyin chuckled and said, "My aunt always uses nice words to coax me, but my father..."
When Yin Ruzhu heard about Zhen Shijian, she became angry: "It doesn't matter what your father does! Whose life experience is perfect? To put it bluntly, if a queen's family background can be a queen, no matter what the status of a princess, the adults in the court would not dare to Criticize your origin, otherwise the emperor will be the first to fall out.
Who does not gossip behind his back, and who does not gossip behind his back. As long as the prince approves of you, it doesn't matter what they say behind your back, they don't dare to say it in front of you anyway.
My aunt knows your character and won't take a man's love as your destiny, so I'll be more straightforward and give you some reassurance. You can take the position of Crown Princess with peace of mind. The Zhen family, Yin family, and Duke Chao's palace will all have your backers.
I have promoted you to that high position today, and I will kneel at your feet tomorrow and rely on your favor. There is nothing shameful. The same is true for men fighting for power in the court. All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit. Common interests are stronger than illusory love and family ties.
Of course, my aunt also hopes that you can marry the person you like, and be in harmony with your sweetheart. However, in the relationship between husband and wife, women are in a weak position, and men are mostly fickle and fickle people. Therefore, my aunt hopes that no matter who you marry, you will put loving yourself first. "
This is what I am saying from my heart.
Yin Ruzhu probably saw the tragic ending of the Great Yin family, which frightened her psychologically, and she gave this repeated warning today.
Zhen Qingyin's eye sockets were hot: "I will keep my aunt's warning in mind."
She will never be a love brain.
Neither would Wei Ji.
As my aunt said, he will do whatever he says.
He won't make promises casually if he can't do it.
For example, he promised to marry her as the crown princess, and promised to let her have the first three children, but he never promised that he would only marry her, would not promise not to take concubines, and would not promise not to have concubine children.
Maybe she is not that important in his heart now, or maybe the idea of three wives and four concubines is deeply ingrained.
In short, she felt at ease with Wei Ji who made such promises.
Draw a line from the beginning to let her see his bottom line clearly.
She will not have high expectations and will not be shattered when changes come.
"You have always been a sensible person, and my aunt's nagging is just for nothing." Yin Ruzhu lovingly held Zhen Qingyin in her arms, feeling really happy for her. Being a princess was naturally much better than being a Liangdi.
Leaning in her aunt's arms like this, Zhen Qingyin felt that her slightly cold body was much warmer: "Auntie, does he have any news about my father? Is he going to be successful as the county magistrate in Yi'an County?"
Yin Ruzhu: "I was just about to mention this to you. I wanted to tell it as a joke to make you laugh, but the prince got the idea and wanted to marry you as the princess. Alas, I had to rush it at this critical moment. superior!"
It turned out that just the day before the Spring Hunting, Aunt Zhang had bribed someone and escaped from the Black Village. The next day, she returned to Zhen's house and knelt in front of the house to beg the old lady and the eldest man for mercy. She wanted to change her ways and return to the right way. Return home.
All the masters of the Zhen family came to the Spring Hunting Party, and there was only one big Yin family in the house who didn't care about anything.
Of course the Da Yin family would not pay attention to her.
When the concierge saw that her clothes were in rags and she looked like a beggar on the street, she was not as rich as she once was. He felt pity for her and said, "The old lady has gone to Chun Shou. The eldest master is not at home. He has gone to Yi'an County to be the county magistrate." Order. I advise my aunt to be calm and not to offend the second master, and to go back to the village to stay. When the master is studying and making a career, the old lady and the eldest master have calmed down, and they will take you back."
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes and pretended to be dizzy.
The concierge was afraid of taking responsibility and reported it to the chief steward.
The chief steward was also afraid that Aunt Zhang would die, so he carried her into the mansion.
That night, Aunt Zhang ate and drank enough, stole a few antiques belonging to the great master, and escaped from Zhen's house at night. She pawned the antiques on the way, rented a carriage with the money, and went straight to Yi'an County.
Yin Ruzhu said: "...calculating the days, we should arrive in Yi'an today. Your father is quite content as a county magistrate. Your second uncle gave him two capable masters. With those two masters watching, nothing can go wrong. . I'm afraid that Aunt Zhang will make trouble for your father, and your father will get confused again and hook up with her again. When the time comes, he will come back to Beijing and hold you back."
Zhen Qingyin listened quietly. When she heard this, her eyes darkened: "Can aunt do something for me?"
"What to do? Capture Zhang? Okay! I'll send someone to do it tomorrow."
Zhen Qingyin's voice became two points lower, three points cooler: "Aunt, since my father is not qualified to be an official, just ask him to resign and go home. It is a small thing to hold me back, but a big thing to delay the people."
Zhang's pursuit of Yi'an will surely cause trouble. The scandal between her and Zhen Shijian was enough to knock off Zhen Shijian's rank as a seventh-rank official.
Yin Ruzhu was startled, straightened Zhen Qingyin's body, and looked at her face carefully.
Zhen Qingyin smiled at her: "Aunt, the prince does not rub sand in his eyes. My father's behavior is ridiculous. Not only will it ruin my reputation, but it will also ruin the prince's reputation in the future. If the prince tolerates him once or twice, is it possible to tolerate him ten or twenty times? I and I How much of the prince’s emotions can withstand his father’s consumption?”
"Qing Yin, are you sincere? This is no small matter. He is your father, and you will obey him before you marry. Your status mainly depends on your father's status. Once you win his official position, you will be a commoner's daughter. .”
How could the emperor let the prince marry a commoner's daughter?
Yin Ruzhu was frightened and even suspected that Zhen Qingyin didn't like the prince at all and didn't want to be the prince's concubine.
By this time, she finally regretted it.
Perhaps he shouldn't have brought Qing Yin and the prince together in the first place, causing the prince to have delusions and entangle with Qing Yin.
Zhen Qingyin's eyes were calm: "Maybe give my father a casual job. My father happened to be a scholar. My grandfather originally planned for his children and grandchildren, so that his father and his second uncle could take the imperial examination so that after the title was taken back, the Zhen family could continue to be glorious, so he searched everywhere. There are many books in the collection, so I asked my father to go home and sort out the books. It would take three to five years to organize them, and that would be enough."
Three to five years later, it has been decided whether she is the crown princess or not.
In short, she didn't want to take advantage of Zhen Shijian, nor did she want Zhen Shijian to rely on her to become a successful person.
Saving the lives of their family of three was her last act of mercy for the blood bond.
Zhen Qingyin took Yin Ruzhu's arm, patted her arm gently, and said coquettishly: "Aunt, just promise me, you believe me, even if I become a commoner's daughter, I still have a trump card."
Yin Ruzhu was suspicious: "What's the trump card? Don't lie to me. There is no turning back when you open your bow."
"Potatoes, sweet potatoes." Zhen Qingyin reminded.
Those haven't been planted yet, Yin Ruzhu gritted her teeth and said: "Okay! This time my aunt will obey you. But tell her honestly, do you like the prince?"
