The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 589 Routines
Lin Jiaojiao patted the back of Zhu Qianqian's hand, and looked it over carefully. Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to reply, she continued: "But my cousin is indeed beautiful, and the family of princes and ministers is worthy of it."

Saying this made Zhu Qianqian blush. Her mother often said that she wanted to marry her into the aristocratic clan in the capital.

But she herself knows how much she owns, so she doesn't have extravagant hopes for it. She only hopes to marry the person she likes, and she is willing to stay with him until she grows old, even if it is difficult.

"My lord, you are too flattering. How can my daughter be as good as you say?" Wang's mouth was modest, and her heart was already full of joy.

She didn't expect that the princess regent was stupid and ignorant, so she grasped it with a few words.

Lin Jiaojiao smiled without saying a word, and did not continue. Zhu Qianqian's beauty can be regarded as a mid-level leader in the capital, but the status of the Zhu family is not good enough. If the Zhu family came to the capital to be an official one day, maybe Zhu Qianqian I can really marry into the prince and earl's family.

But in this life of the Zhu family, if they think about it, they will stop here.

Seeing that Zhu Qianqian's heart is not bad, she added: "The family of a prince and earl is good, but a learned and ambitious gentleman is not necessarily bad."

At these words, Zhu Qianqian's eyes suddenly brightened, and then she smiled from the bottom of her heart, and nodded "Yes" to Lin Jiaojiao.

But Wang didn't think so. Her daughter, of course, would marry a prince or aristocrat. If the regent could take a fancy to her daughter, it would be good to be a side concubine.

So he changed the subject and went straight to the topic of this visit: "My lord, my wife heard that the court is busy, and I think the prince is busy as the regent. The prince accompanied the princess to Hangzhou this time, which is enough to show that the prince loves the princess. "

Now that Yan Sihan was mentioned, Lin Jiaojiao also became serious, smiled and sighed: "My lord is busy these days, and this time I'm not only here to celebrate my grandma's birthday."

"Oh? Could it be that the prince is on official business?" As soon as Wang Shi opened his mouth, Yue Shi, who had never had any sense of presence, fixed his gaze on Lin Jiaojiao's face.

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head, and said while thinking: "I don't know very well, but I just heard the prince mentioned that it is the time for the court to employ people, and many official positions are vacant, and the prince is distressed because of this."

"Now it's the season of imperial examinations. In previous years, most of the applicants were talents from Jiangnan, and most of them were from Hangzhou. However, there are also many people who bribed the examiners to cheat. This time the Hangzhou provincial examination, the prince said that he will personally supervise it."

Three years ago, more than half of the candidates who passed the Hangzhou provincial examination passed the examination through money.

At that time, the Qian family was the prefect of Hangzhou, so it is not surprising that such a thing happened.

This remark was enough for the two ladies to think about. After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wang felt a little more at ease. It seems that the regent's visit this time is not because of the corruption of the former prefect of Hangzhou.

After all, there was an event as big as Lin'an in the capital at that time, and the regent was so busy that he couldn't take care of it.

And the promotion of her Zhu family as the new magistrate was also ordered by the queen mother, so there would be no problem, but their Zhu family was too worried.

But at the same time, she felt a little melancholy. Her elder brother was also going to take the provincial examination this year. He had already taken care of him, but now it seems that he will not be able to.
