The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager, "Does the Empress Dowager think it’s suitable for Princess Shouning to marry into the Duke Mansion?""I only know it’s not suitable, but Princess Nanzhang thinks that after Shouning and the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion become sisters-in-law, they will get along well," the Empress Dowager replied. "I have always intended to marry Shouning to Chuanchuan, and Princess Nanzhang has always hoped for Shouning to come of age and marry, because the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion will not be married, which she cannot accept." Will Princess Shouning and the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion get along well? Eunuch Fu tried hard to imagine it, but he couldn’t picture them getting along harmoniously. It’s absolutely impossible for it to happen. Moreover, Young Master Xie of Duke Zhen’s Mansion has always been a thorn in Princess Nanzhang’s side. Princess Nanzhang has always thought that Young Master Xie was poisoned and wouldn’t live long, which is why she hasn’t rushed to get rid of him. If she knew the poison in Young Master Xie had been neutralized, could she still remain so composed? Two people with identities destined not to get along, who already had past grudges, how could they possibly reconcile? Princess Nanzhang is obviously deceiving people. And the Empress Dowager actually believed it? Eunuch Fu felt there must be something wrong with this. The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Shouning cannot marry the second young master of Duke Zhen’s Mansion." "But although this marriage has not been granted, it is tacitly agreed by everyone, and letting it go like this would be akin to breaking the engagement," the Empress Dowager said. "Shouning and Chuanchuan were both raised under my watch, and I think they are well-matched. Just because of the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, breaking the perfect match of these two children, I cannot bear it." The Empress Dowager remained steadfast. The Emperor also disagreed with Shouning marrying Xie Jingchuan. He said, "This engagement is nullified, I will grant a new marriage for the son of Princess Nanzhang." The Empress Dowager doesn’t actually need the Emperor to grant Xie Jingchuan a marriage. Granting it would actually be troublesome. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net The Empress Dowager furrowed her brows and said, "I mentioned this matter to Nanzhang. She insists on having Shouning married in, the Empress and she had a dispute, she came to me crying, giving me a headache." "Nanzhang is the mistress managing the Duke Mansion. If not for the Emperor favoring the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Mansion, how could that female bandit behave so arrogantly in the Duke Mansion?" "Even a maid dares to rely on the Emperor’s backing, throwing mud at Yuyu, and now wants to break the engagement because of that female bandit, it’s understandable Nanzhang refuses the Empress’s proposal to annul the engagement." Did Xingxing throw mud on the eldest girl of Duke Zhen’s Mansion? Eunuch Fu twitched in the corner of his eye. This seems like something that maid could do. To do something so disregarding of hierarchy and still be lively and well, it seems Princess Nanzhang truly has no status in Duke Zhen’s Mansion anymore. She is eager for Princess Shouning to marry in, likely intending for Princess Shouning to clash with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, right? After all, Princess Shouning is the Emperor’s own daughter. The Emperor can’t indefinitely protect the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, can he? The Empress knew that Princess Shouning couldn’t contend with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, and out of deep maternal love, she withdrew the engagement... But weren’t there rumors in the palace recently that Princess Shouning fancied Prince NanAn? Eunuch Fu was lost in thought. The Empress Dowager’s gaze fleetingly glanced over him. A little eunuch next to him couldn’t bear to watch it any longer and quietly gave Eunuch Fu a nudge. Eunuch Fu looked up, meeting an expression that troubled him. Because that expression was all too familiar. It was the look of wanting him to help persuade the Emperor. Being able to do the Empress Dowager a favor is naturally a good thing; it might save one’s life in the future, but to send Princess Shouning to Duke Zhen’s Mansion... Although Princess Shouning couldn’t bully the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, what if Marquis Dongxiang misunderstood that he incited the Emperor to send Princess Shouning there to bully his daughter? Wouldn’t he die a wrongful death? This is absolutely something he couldn’t do. But the Empress Dowager’s gaze had already swept over him, so he couldn’t pretend not to see it. Eunuch Fu grumpily blamed the little eunuch for meddling, thinking how nice it would be if he had just stayed lost in thought quietly! He glared at the little eunuch, then turned to the Emperor and said, "Emperor, when commoners annul an engagement, they usually offer compensation. Princess Nanzhang always hoped to have the eldest girl of Duke Zhen’s Mansion titled as County Princess. If the Emperor uses this as the condition to annul the engagement, she will definitely agree." The Emperor’s brows furrowed into the shape of the character for ’river’. With Eunuch Fu opening the discussion, the Empress Dowager said, "The Empress did mention this; it seems Nanzhang isn’t willing." The words ’it seems’ were particularly emphasized by the Empress Dowager. She feared the Emperor hadn’t heard it. The Emperor heard, and Eunuch Fu heard too. Eunuch Fu’s heart was trembling. The Empress Dowager clearly came this time to dig a pit for the Emperor. And inadvertently, he had become an accomplice, helping the Empress Dowager push the Emperor into the pit! If the Emperor knew, wouldn’t he be utterly angry with him? The Emperor, after some thought, said, "Then I shall decree Princess Nanzhang’s daughter as County Princess." The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. The Empress Dowager could actually confer Xie Jinyu as County Princess, but a title conferred by the Empress Dowager is only in name. The Emperor’s conferment is different, it comes with a fief, offering real benefits. Xie Jinyu is Princess Nanzhang’s daughter, much beloved by the Empress Dowager; a titular County Princess title without a fief, Xie Jinyu truly wouldn’t care for it. The Emperor agreed, the Empress Dowager’s goal achieved, and Nanny Li assisted her in leaving. Princess Nanzhang was waiting anxiously for the Empress Dowager in Yongning Palace. Seeing the Empress Dowager come in, Princess Nanzhang quickly went to greet her, supporting the Empress Dowager, and asked, "Did the Emperor agree?" "The Emperor agreed," the Empress Dowager replied. Princess Nanzhang was so happy she couldn’t stop grinning. In the Imperial Study. The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair. On the Dragon Desk lay a map, unlike the usual ones, lacking details, showing only a rough outline. It was specifically for the Emperor to use for granting fiefs. Since he had decreed to confer Xie Jinyu as County Princess, he needed to select a fief before issuing the decree. The Emperor selected a few places but was not very satisfied with any of them. Eunuch Fu stood by the side, hesitant to speak. The Emperor pointed to a spot and said, "Let’s choose this one." Eunuch Fu glanced over. The fief was neither big nor small, neither wealthy nor barren. Eunuch Fu thought for a moment and decided not to hinder the Empress Dowager’s plan. He feared the Empress Dowager would find fault. Soon, the Hanlin Academy drafted the decree and delivered it, the speed of which made the Emperor a bit unhappy. Were they afraid he would change his mind? Would he, who speaks with the authority of gold, take back his words?! The Empress Dowager was so focused on watching him affix the Jade Seal, the Emperor couldn’t help feeling as if he was being played. But having agreed, the Emperor could only endure it. He filled in the fief, took out the Jade Seal to stamp it. At this moment, a little eunuch came in, whispered something into Eunuch Fu’s ear. Eunuch Fu let out a loud "Ah." The Emperor looked at him, "What is it?" Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, "Emperor, the eldest girl of Duke Zhen’s Mansion is in trouble." The Emperor was stunned. "What happened?" the Emperor asked. "For some reason, while dancing at Prince Yu Mansion, the eldest girl of Duke Zhen’s Mansion’s face became both red and swollen, itching all over so badly she was rolling on the floor, losing all composure," Eunuch Fu quickly explained. Eunuch Fu’s voice was trembling. It was truly like having water offered when thirsty, a pillow presented when sleepy. He was just worried about how to stop the Emperor, pulling him out of the pit. Unexpectedly, the crisis resolved itself. Luckily, he had enough patience to endure until now. Heavenly protection indeed. How could a girl who lost all composure be conferred as County Princess? The Emperor hurriedly put down the Jade Seal.
