West Wind Sighs Works The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, A First-Rank Prince's Consort The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, A First-Rank Prince's Consort The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, A First-Rank Prince's Consort Volume 1 Chapter 42 Husband and Wife Conversation, The Princess Enters the Palace

  As night fell, Jing Wangye returned to Su Yuan after handling military affairs in the barracks. As soon as he pushed open the door and stepped inside, he saw his wife sitting at the table staring at a large stack of paintings, with a look of deep thought and worry, without even noticing that he had come back.

  This scene couldn't help but make Jing Wangye feel a little curious, and he called out to his wife in a soft voice.

  The Queen was currently thinking about the marriage of Baili Yongjin, when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that King Jing was standing at the door, looking at her in his brocade robes.

  The queen hastily got up and went forward to welcome him, "Your Majesty, you're back." She proactively stretched out her hand to help him take off his outerwear and hung it on the clothes rack.

  King Jing nodded and stretched out his hand to accompany Queen Jing, asking "Yasu, what were you thinking about just now that made you so absorbed?"

  The queen's lips parted slightly, just about to speak. But she suddenly thought that the king, due to his own background and experiences, had always disregarded family status, and usually didn't like others mentioning it either. If she were to directly say that she looked down on Xia Ting's background, she would likely displease the king, so it was better to be more tactful.

  Thinking of this, Jing Wangfei spoke out in a gentle tone, "Isn't it for Jin'er's marriage, how do you think, husband?"

  The King also didn't think much, and nodded immediately, saying "It turns out it's about Jin'er's marriage, he told me this afternoon that he wants to marry the second miss of the Xia family, I've already agreed." Rarely seeing his son show a willing expression when talking about this matter, he naturally wouldn't object.

  It turned out that the quiet queen was stunned as soon as she heard this, and agreed? How could she agree so readily? She had been thinking of asking the king to persuade Jin'er.

  The King of Jing slightly lowered his head and saw that Queen of Jing had a somewhat stunned expression, and asked inexplicably "What? You don't agree with this matter?"

  The queen dowager suddenly came to her senses and hastily said, "Husband, how could you agree so quickly? Have you understood the situation of the second miss of the Xia Manor clearly? How could you promise Jin'er so readily?"

  The King slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "Ji'er told me that she is the second daughter of Xia's family, a fourth-rank official. She was born out of wedlock. However, Ji'er seems to like her anyway. What's wrong with agreeing? It's rare for our son to take a liking to someone. Weren't you worried earlier that he wouldn't marry anyone at all?"

  The Empress Dowager grasped the key point and said, "Yes, but she is a concubine's daughter, and her father only holds an official rank of fourth grade."

  The King finally understood what his wife wanted to say, and he stared at her firmly, saying "You look down on someone's background and don't want her to marry Jin'er?"

  The Empress Dowager Zhang opened her mouth, and suddenly felt a bit disheartened. "I... I'm worried about Rong'er, aren't I? Although the husband doesn't care about family background, most of these concubines haven't received good upbringing, who knows what kind of character Xia Ting has? What if we marry someone with a petty housewife's temperament, someone who can't hold their head high in public? Is Rong'er supposed to be matched with this kind of woman?"

  The Empress Dowager felt more and more stifled as she spoke, her Jing'er was so stunningly beautiful, if it weren't for Heaven not giving him a good body, how would there be no good family willing to marry their daughter to him now.

  The King gently held his wife and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be unhappy. You know Jun'er's temperament, if he can make him speak up to ask for it himself, then Xiafu's second miss shouldn't be too bad. If you're really worried, just go take a look when the engagement ceremony takes place later. Jun'er must have his reasons for doing this."

  He also knew that his wife was not a person who would stick to the rules of the door and the household, but now that it concerned their son, she was being so picky, otherwise she wouldn't have insisted on marrying him in the first place.

  The quiet queen leaned gently in the arms of King Jing and murmured, "Really? What if Jin'er misjudged?"

  "Really, you don't understand your own son? Jin'er's vision has always been high, how could ordinary women enter his eyes? Besides, this humble origin also has its advantages, at least she won't be arrogant because of her family background. Look at those noble ladies from big families, they are all proud and arrogant, if they really marry into our family, can you guarantee that they will serve Jin'er wholeheartedly? My son's body is not like others, how can I put my mind at ease?"

  Listening to King Jing's words, Queen Jing was also secretly worried, knowing that her husband's words were indeed reasonable. If they really married a daughter-in-law with a high temper back home, she might make trouble every other day, and Rong'er's body couldn't take it.

  After careful consideration, Jing Wangfei could only compromise and put away the unwillingness on her face. "You and Jin'er have both said so, how can I not agree?"

  The King gently stroked his wife's raven-black hair "Alright, it's settled then. Rest now."

  The next morning, Jing Wangfei got up early and washed her hair, letting the maids by her side bring the scrolls and other things sent from the palace, following her into the palace.

  In the Phoenix Palace, Empress An Ya Yun sat in front of a large round table, just about to start enjoying her breakfast. The silver chopsticks had not yet been extended when a palace maid came to report that Princess Jing had arrived.

  The queen, hearing it was her own sister who had come, hastily laid down the silver chopsticks and ordered a palace maid to go out and invite her in.

  The moment Queen Jing walked in, she heard the Empress calling out, "Yasu, come over here and sit down."

  The Queen Dowager hastily walked a few steps to the Empress's side and sat down. The other smiled and said, "You've come just in time, sister hasn't had her meal yet, you can also join me."

  On the table were all sorts of exquisite pastries and dishes, emitting wave after wave of tempting aromas. However, Jing Wangfei felt no appetite at all, and simply shook her head at the Empress Dowager, saying "Sister, I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat. The reason I came over is to return these congratulatory posters and portraits."

  After finishing speaking, she turned her head and gestured for the maid to hand over the portrait and other things to the palace maid of Feng Qi Palace.

  The empress did not think there was anything wrong with it, and thought that her sister had already chosen someone, so she smiled and asked "How's the choice? Which young lady from which mansion has been chosen? I will immediately issue a decree to betroth Jin'er."

  The Queen Dowager simply shook her head. The Empress asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

  The quiet queen let out a soft sigh, "Ji'er didn't take a liking to any of them, saying he only wants to marry Xia Fu's second miss, Xia Tingying."

  The queen looked somewhat bewildered. The second miss of the Xia Manor? Xia Ting? Whose daughter was that? She had never heard of her before.

  The queen turned her head in puzzlement towards Wei Zifu beside her, with a very obvious questioning meaning in her eyes.

  Wei Yaoyao also racked her brains, and after a while, she said, "It's the daughter of Xia Daren from the fourth rank, but she's just a concubine-born child. Her name was indeed on the list of selected names last time."

  The queen thought for a moment, and upon hearing the nanny's words, she seemed to have some impression. Indeed, there was such a person in the list of candidates last time. But Xia Ting Cong is only the daughter of a fourth-rank official family, and she is also a concubine-born daughter. Why did Jin Er think of marrying her as his legitimate wife?

  The queen disapprovingly said, "This woman's status is too low, how can you let Jin'er marry someone with such a background? Didn't you advise him?"

  The queen shook her head and sighed, "How could I not have advised him? But Qiner said that he is different from others, he doesn't need to rely on women to rise to power. His family background isn't good, but what's the big deal? Moreover, I think he really has his heart set on that Miss Xia of the Xia Manor. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't budge. And last night, when the king returned, he also agreed to this matter." Which means that now she can no longer refuse.

  The queen asked in surprise, "Did your brother-in-law agree? Then what are you going to do now?"

  The queen mother sighed and said, "What else can be done? We can only follow the father and son's wishes. I don't ask for anything else now, as long as Jin'er's body recovers and the other party serves Jin'er wholeheartedly. Even if she is a concubine who cannot appear in public, I will accept it."

  She was first persuaded by her son, and then comforted by her husband last night. Now she doesn't dislike the second daughter of the Xia family as much. She only hopes that what her husband said is true, that she is an extraordinary woman who won't disappoint Rong'er.
