Chapter 1084: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (206)
The ninth princess did not want to marry into a foreign alliance and only wanted to get married as soon as possible.
However, at this critical juncture, the emperor and the concubine were both planning to let her go to marry a foreign prince, so how could they give her the opportunity to get married?
After all, if the Ninth Princess doesn't go, the Eleventh Princess will have to take over, and Concubine Shu will never agree to it.
The Ninth Princess's mother was Concubine Luo, who had long ago passed away with the Fourth Prince Zhao Yi. Naturally, no one could go to the Emperor to persuade her.
The Queen Mother also avoided her and only told her to ask the Ninth Princess to beg the Emperor. She also blamed the Mongols for being cruel and picky. Ordinary princesses of the royal family were not happy, so she wanted the Ninth Princess or the Eleventh Princess to marry.
What's the point of the Queen Mother's complaints? The Ninth Princess still complains, but complaining alone is useless.
There are not many people in the court who can make the emperor change his mind, but those people will not help her for no reason.
She could only watch herself being pushed to the forefront of the marriage storm, feeling resentful.
The last time the Ninth Princess fell into the water, she wanted to take the opportunity to marry Wei Ying, but was rescued by the Eighth Prince Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu turned out to be a blessing in disguise and was named King Ren, but she suffered a damaged reputation.
These noble families all knew that the Ninth Princess was devoted to Wei Ying and that she fell into the water in order to marry Wei Ying and ruin his marriage, but Wei Ying was not fooled.
Wei Ying is now married, and the couple loves each other very much.
The ninth princess tried to interfere and caused a great disturbance in the palace. In the end, she was killed on the spot, which was unlucky.
The noble families would not tolerate such a fool, not to mention that her own brother and mother were both despised by the emperor and died tragically. Those noble families would like to stay away from her.
Therefore, the Ninth Princess has always had difficulty finding a husband.
The Queen did not take the initiative to find a husband for her, and the Emperor did not care about her, so the Ninth Princess's marriage was delayed.
Now, the Mongols have come to Beijing, and the two sides are negotiating. When the talks are over, the emperor will announce the marriage between the two countries at the banquet.
The Ninth Princess became anxious and decided to destroy her own reputation. She would make the matter a fait accompli and see what her father could do to her then.
She had always had her eyes on Wei Ying, but ever since a palace maid in her own palace suddenly died, she always felt that this was related to Wei Ying and his wife. She felt a little scared and was afraid of offending Song Qingli.
Song Qingli is not someone you can easily mess with. Not to mention how popular she is in the upper circles and how she brings all the ladies in to do business together, the fact that she is the daughter of Prime Minister Song and the wife of a duke is something that even the Ninth Princess can't afford to mess with.
She had been too naive in the past, but after enduring so much hardship over the past few months, she finally understood that although Song Qingli was beautiful and gentle, she actually possessed the pride and temper of a noblewoman and was not the type to swallow her anger. And Wei Ying was not the type to let fleas run wild.
And she had been in good health that day, so why had she suddenly vomited blood? Was it really, as the imperial physician had said, caused by emotional excitement? Unable to comprehend the situation, the Ninth Princess had no choice but to stay away from the couple.
The Ninth Princess searched her mind but couldn't find many suitable people.
Many heroes have already started families and have many children, so there is no need for her to provoke them.
There were not many people of the right age, and finally she thought that Lu Heng, the lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, was a good choice.
Lu Heng was a scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination. He was handsome, gentle, and had a pleasant smile. He was also very much loved by his father.
It was said that the two nieces of the Prime Minister's wife were attracted to him, but Lu Heng avoided the two girls and remained calm.
The person that others are scrambling to get must be right!
The Ninth Princess thought more and more that Lü Heng was a suitable candidate and decided to take action against him. In March, the Dunmin family held a garden party, which was also her fortieth birthday party.
Dunmin was the emperor's eldest daughter and firstborn child, several months older than his eldest son, Zhao Qing. Her mother, Concubine Jing, was a maid assigned to the emperor by the empress dowager. She was the emperor's first woman, possessing a sullen temperament and a voluptuous figure. After Concubine Jing fell ill and passed away, Dunmin was raised by the empress dowager for three years before marrying off. The empress dowager adored her, and she enjoyed considerable prominence among the princesses in the capital.
There are many activities at this garden party and many people are invited, so it will be very lively.
Seven days later, the emperor will officially hold a palace banquet to announce the marriage.
The Ninth Princess knew that Minister Lü had also been invited, so she decided to attend the banquet on time. She was also planning to make things fait accompli at the banquet. What could the Emperor do to her then? Humph!
But the Ninth Princess didn't expect that her plan would fail again! In order to avoid the marriage, she had no choice but to accept it this time!
