Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 191 Matchmaking
Mrs. Tai was worried and said, "This Princess Shang can't just propose marriage to our family. She also needs to ask the emperor to make the decision..."

Wang Tong, Marquis of Weibei, had a plan in mind since he knew Ling Ruhua's identity. Now that he has handed over the military power, Emperor Ling needs to appease him.
There had been no major wars at the border in the past ten years, and he did not intend to make much achievements in the court. So he asked to marry the eldest princess, Ling Ruhua, which relieved Emperor Ling's worries about appeasing him.

Wang Tong, Marquis of Weibei, not only inquired about the eldest princess Ling Ruhua, but also knew something about Ling Ruhua's temperament. He thought that if he came directly to propose marriage, he would probably be rejected, and he would have to go through all kinds of twists and turns to save the country.

On the second day, Weibei Hou Wangtong handed over a sign and asked to see Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling was also worried about how to arrange Weibei Hou Wangtong. Since Weibei Hou wanted to marry the eldest princess, the two did so tacitly. trade.

Emperor Ling had no brother-sister feelings for Ling Ruhua, but he would not deliberately let Ling Ruhua marry someone who could not be trusted. Emperor Ling felt that Wang Tong, the Marquis of Weibei, was a good man, and it would be a wise move for his sister Ling Ruhua to remarry.

The emperor and his ministers had their own calculations. Emperor Ling specially asked Queen Qin to recruit Ling Ruhua into the palace. He moved her emotionally and settled the marriage with reason.

Tang Bingxuan was shocked when she heard that Emperor Ling had granted marriage to the eldest princess Ling Ruhua. After all, there had been no news about it before.

I went to the eldest princess's house to meet Ling Ruhua in person, and I was relieved to see that there was no forced distress on Ling Ruhua's face.

"I've never heard a shred of news before, how can the marriage be so urgent?"

Ling Ruhua had no intention of remarrying, but now that Emperor Ling used her to appease the courtiers, Ling Ruhua felt that she was not at a disadvantage.

Ling Ruhua smiled faintly, her expression as calm as usual, "The Queen said that Wang Tong, the Marquis of Weibei, fell in love with me at first sight and went to ask the Emperor for help."

She has affection for Ling Ruhua and is outstanding herself. She is still a young marquis. Ling Ruhua feels that it is much better for mother and son to have a marquis backer for the rest of their lives than to have the title of eldest princess in name only.

Jiang Shuhuai and Tang Wenyun took the imperial examinations in the same year. Tang Wenyun already had his beloved wife by his side, but Jiang Shuhuai was still alone.

Ling Ruhua has been married to the Marquis of Weibei for more than a year now. Wang Tong, the Marquis of Weibei, is very protective of their mother and son. The wife of the family and her daughter Wang Shen are also generous. Tang Bingxuan feels that Ling Emperor's marriage is a match made in heaven. .

If they reject Emperor Ling's wishes, their mother and son's life in Kyoto will definitely be difficult.

Fortunately, although the other party was seven or eight years older than her, she heard that her appearance and character were good, so Ling Ruhua thought this marriage was a good one.

Wang Shen was Ling Ruhua's stepdaughter. Tang Bingxuan had more contact with her and was extremely happy to have her become his sister-in-law.

The second master Jiang and his family also returned to Kyoto from Yunzhou a few days ago. Jiang Shunian speculated that his second uncle would join the cabinet. However, Emperor Ling had not yet made an order, so the second master Jiang still reported his duties to be decided.

Tang Bingxuan didn't know much about Weibei Hou Wangtong, but she sent someone to find out that this person did have a good reputation in the circle of nobles. Her father Rong Guogong also praised him for his courage and strategy, and he was a general who was not inferior to him.

Although Tang Bingxuan was not very happy to see Ling Ruhua, she did accept the marriage well, and she understood her friend's thoughts and naturally supported it silently.

Mrs. Jiang Er had long been anxious about her eldest son's marriage, but she was in Yunzhou and her son in Kyoto was far less obedient than in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, we have been away from home for many years, and we are not familiar with many young ladies waiting for marriage in Kyoto. I would like to trouble you to help my nephew choose a good wife."

Mrs. Jiang Er is anxious but will not get dizzy. She has just settled down and does not have a deep understanding of the situation of each family in Kyoto. She still needs the help of her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning. Mrs. Hou, Qiao, had always been on good terms with her second younger brother and sister, and she had helped her nephew Shuhuai look after girls before, but Jiang Shuhuai, the nephew, was not cooperative, and she, the aunt who was separated by a floor, couldn't force the cow to drink water.

"You still don't know what kind of person I am? I will definitely devote myself to my nephew's marriage. With you as a mother by my side, maybe Shuhuai will be able to marry a daughter-in-law by the end of the year."

Tang Bingxuan was sitting next to her elders, and unexpectedly thought of Guo Yuan whom her parents had met at the flower viewing party.

Judging from the family background, the Guo family has been a scholarly family for hundreds of years, and there are many in-laws such as the Guo family, the princess's mother;
Mr. Jiang Er was born in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and now he has the opportunity to enter the cabinet. The two families are well matched.

However, although Tang Bingxuan intended to make peace, after all, it was the second aunt who chose her daughter-in-law, and she still had to seek the opinions of the second uncle and second aunt.

...

In the East Palace, the Crown Princess Pingyu has two legitimate sons, both of whom are healthy and safe;
Qin Liangyuan's son has been in poor health even though he takes care of himself every day;
Chen Liangyuan, who entered the East Palace on the same day as Qin Liangyuan, was said to be in perfect condition even after several years in the palace.

In the past two years, Prince Ling Qianlu had successively admitted several beauties from Emperor Ling and Empress Qin, but for some reason, none of the heirs in the East Palace, except for the three grandsons, were pregnant again.

Although Prince Ling Qian was not interested in women, he doted on several beauties, and his stomach had not moved for two years.

In the East Palace, the Crown Prince spent most of his time resting in Crown Princess Ping Yu's bedroom. Everyone felt that the Crown Prince had a deep affection for the Crown Princess, but no one cared about what Crown Princess Ping Yu thought.

Since the Crown Princess gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, her majesty has become more and more profound. She is basically the one-spoken authority in the East Palace. There is no one who does not have the foresight to challenge the Crown Princess's bottom line.

Every time Tang Bingxuan went to the East Palace to see Crown Princess Ping Yu, she was always happy and sad. However, it was a rare meeting and they basically didn't talk about unhappy things. The two of them mostly talked about the daily life of raising children.

"The main reason I came here this time is to ask about your cousin Guo Yuan."

Tang Bingxuan had some thoughts about Guo Yuan's marriage, and she mentioned it to her mother-in-law Qiao privately, hoping to see what her mother-in-law had to say. After all, if her second aunt asked her mother-in-law to help choose a daughter-in-law, she would definitely inform her mother-in-law of her request.

Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, heard about the girl Tang Bingxuan mentioned. After thinking for a moment, she felt that it would be a good choice for the two families to get married, and she couldn't wait to reveal the matter to her second younger sister.

Mrs. Jiang Er came from a scholarly family. Her husband and son both came from the imperial examination, so she naturally wanted to choose a scholarly family for her future daughter-in-law.

What's more, now that her son Jiang Shuhuai is about to fall short in age, Mrs. Jiang Er doesn't have many requirements for the person she gets married to. She only depends on the girl's character and talents.

Jiang Shuhuai's temperament seems calm, but he is just pretending to be mature. Mrs. Jiang Er, the mother, knows very well that her daughter-in-law's literary talent is too low and it is unlikely that the two of them will get along.

After hearing that Mrs. Qiao, the eldest sister-in-law, mentioned Guo Yuan, the direct branch of the Guo family, Mrs. Jiang felt that the two families could see each other, but the Guo Yuan family was not in Kyoto, and they had to send messages to the Guo family through the Crown Princess's mother, Guo Shi.

Several ladies of the Jiang family have plans in mind but don't know much about Guo Yuan's situation. If the Guo family already has other plans for Guo Yuan's marriage, they can't force it;
