Canglan Empress

Chapter 435 Princess Marriage
Empress Ouyang has been physically and mentally haggard these days, and her tone is not as calm as before: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to ask for."

With that said, she knelt down on the ground.

The queen has a noble status, and under normal circumstances, if she doesn't make a big mistake, she doesn't need to kneel to talk to the emperor. At this time, she took the initiative to kneel and lowered her figure.

Emperor Tiande looked at her quietly for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

"The concubine knows that her ability is limited, and she is not worthy of being the queen of the palace." With her head lowered, Queen Ouyang's voice sounded a little tired, "The concubine is not a good mother either. She used to plan for King Xu, but now... the concubine If you want to settle Linghua's lifelong affairs, it will be a matter of your heart."

Emperor Tiande frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he never expected that she came for Linghua's marriage.

Putting the vermilion pen in his hand aside, Emperor Tiande rubbed the center of his brows, relaxed his body and leaned on the dragon chair, and said lightly: "Queen, get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Ouyang stood up, staring down at the palace bricks under her feet, "Linghua is 16 years old this year, and the daughter of an ordinary family should have found a good marriage at this age. It is the negligence of my concubine these years, selfishly I wanted to keep her by my side for a few more years, but now this concubine realizes that she was wrong."

"A woman is in her prime at the age of fifteen or sixteen. After this age, she will become an old lady. Even if her son-in-law doesn't dare to say it, she will inevitably feel disgusted in her heart..." After a pause, Queen Ouyang said, " There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the concubine is also worried that Linghua will be affected by the affairs of Ouyang's family, so she wants to choose a son-in-law for Linghua at this juncture, so as not to make others think..."

Speaking of this, Queen Ouyang's voice was slightly lower, and she did not finish her sentence.

But Emperor Tiande heard the meaning of the unfinished words.

Princesses' marriages have always been directly decided by the queen, but the status of the queen is a bit embarrassing right now. The powerful family has always been used to being high and low. You are currently full of honor and glory, and others are naturally respectful. Take you to heart?

Ouyang's family is in decline, and Empress Ouyang is in a bad situation. The officials in Yongjing don't take the fifth princess seriously anymore. Even if the empress really wants to choose a son-in-law for the fifth princess, how many people want to marry the fifth princess at this juncture?

Especially those high-ranking officials are afraid to avoid them for fear of being too late. No one wants to let their son get involved with the fifth princess who has fallen out of favor and is very likely to be implicated by King Xu.

That's why the queen came to ask Emperor Tiande.

After all, the fifth princess is the emperor's favorite daughter. Even if Xu Wang is not favored, Emperor Tiande will not take his anger out on Linghua. As long as he is willing to personally order the fifth princess to choose a son-in-law for the fifth princess, then he will undoubtedly tell the civil and military officials. Fall out of favor.

No matter how fierce the competition among the princes is, it will not affect the status of the princess in the emperor's heart.

In this way, the fifth princess can avoid being looked down upon by others.

Emperor Tiande was silent for a moment, knowing in his heart that Queen Ouyang was a mother after all, and it was understandable to think about his daughter in this way.

So after pondering for a while, he said lightly: "Does Linghua have a man he likes?"

When the queen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "The concubine is going to hold a flower viewing party, so that young princes and noble ladies from the capital can all come to the palace to enjoy the flowers, and then Linghua can get in touch with the noble ladies. For a moment, by the way, secretly observe the young masters of the aristocratic families to see if there are any suitable candidates."
