After seeing off Prince Long'an, Zheng Wan smiled and said to Princess Yongen, "Mother, my cousin is such a good person."

"Yes, the prince of the county followed your uncle. He is a kind person, unlike the Gu family..." Princess Yongen said this, suddenly realized something and swallowed the second half of the words back.

This is the Long'an Prince's Mansion, and the Gu family she mentioned, that is, Mrs. Gu, had been the hostess in this mansion for many years. Maybe there are still old people left by Gu family in this mansion now.

Princess Yongen glanced at her daughter from the outskirts of her eyes, and saw that her daughter looked full of eyes and smiled.

Princess Yongen's heart moved, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

She held off the maid in the room, called Zheng Wan in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Although your cousin is a man of all kinds, he is just a free king after all. You can tell from his marriage. When others reach his age, there are several children, but he is not as good as he is, and he has not yet gotten married in his twenties. The most numerous families in the capital don't want to marry their daughters, and his status is not enough to marry a woman from a small family. You are not young anymore, so you have to know it."

Zheng Wan lowered her head slightly, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, like the butterfly wings among flowers.

She didn't dare to raise her eyelids, she was worried about the loss in her eyes being seen by her mother.

Which woman is not in love with a man like my cousin?

Princess Yongen looked at the bangs on her daughter's forehead and sighed: "In my opinion, after the New Year, the eldest prince and the second prince are going to discuss marriage, and Shen Xiao, now there is only one seedling in the Shen family's legitimate family? When his brother's filial piety period expires? The Queen Mother will definitely arrange a marriage for him."

The eldest prince should discuss bride, which is expected? But the second prince and Shen Xiao? It is still beyond Zheng Wan's expectations.

"Aren't the second prince and the fourth prince Shen both sick?" Zheng Wan knew about the second prince's serious illness? As for the prince Long'an, that's even more well-known.

Princess Yongen snorted coldly: "The second prince is similar to a disabled person? There is no other use except for the scattering of branches and leaves. What's the harm of being sick? Besides, he has no connection with the dragon throne, so his princess is naturally the lower the background, the better? Those sixth and seventh ranks of officials? Are you not rushing to marry your daughter? What about the sick? Even if your daughter will be widowed in a few years, she will be a dignified princess and the child born is also royal blood."

Zheng Wan nodded frequently. Her mother was right. She grew up in Shu since she was a child? Those female relatives from small officials, let alone being the prince's concubine? Even being a concubine is also very respectful.

Princess Yongen continued, "Everyone said that Mr. Shen Si was sick and disorganized? But when I saw him that day, he didn't seem to be sick at all? Besides, if he was really sick? The Empress Dowager would only be more anxious. Look, as long as the filial piety period is over, the first thing the Empress Dowager does is to discuss his relatives for him."

Shen Lingze is no longer here, and his elder brother is his father. According to the Great Zhou law, Shen Xiao will be filial to his elder brother Shen Yuan for one year. In other words, Shen Xiao's filial piety period will be over in February next year.

When Zheng Wan heard her mother talk about the marriage between the two princes and the fourth prince of Shen, she felt up and down.

She knew that the son-in-law of the mother's heart was the eldest prince, and the reason why she never mentioned it to the Queen Mother was because there was a fourth prince born by the queen. Her mother was worried that once the fourth prince entered the East Palace, the eldest prince, who is most respected by the emperor, would be in an awkward situation, and she would never have a chance to stand out. In that case, it would be no different from marrying her cousin to become a princess in a county.

But today, my mother focused on the second prince and the fourth prince of Shen. Is her mother trying to settle for the second best?

"Mother, my daughter has no brothers, and she doesn't have to support her relatives. No matter how good the second prince's concubine is, she is...the daughter doesn't want to enter the second prince's mansion."

For some reason, Hua Jingyao's head full of chopsticks suddenly appeared in Zheng Wan's mind.

If she married the second prince Zhao Qian, Hua Jingyao would probably laugh out loud.

Hua Jingyao will definitely look down on her even more.

Yes, since the first time I met Hua Jingyao, Zheng Wan had a sense that Hua Jingyao was hostile to her, and she was deeply hostile.

Shouldn’t she hate Hua Jingyao even more?

A woman who has a father and has no father's teachings. If her biological mother is not the eldest princess, Hua Jingyao can't even get married.

The eldest daughter who lost her mother and the eldest daughter was still not married, let alone Hua Jingyao. What Princess Zhaoyang did was simply contrary to the morals of a woman. What kind of daughter can such a mother teach her?

If she was in Shu, she would be ashamed to even talk to such a woman.

Thinking of Hua Jingyao, Zheng Wan became more and more confident.

"Mother, my daughter would rather not marry than marry the second prince."

Princess Yongen was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to misunderstand what she meant.

"My son, my mother is not blinded by lard. How could she send you into the fire pit to covet the name of the second prince? Don't worry, even if the empress dowager takes the initiative to marry us and point you to the second prince, the mother will never agree. At worst, she will tell you the fortune teller and say that your marriage will be several years later. The second prince's age will not be able to wait for a few years, and the matter will be left alone."

Zheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile came out from the corner of her mouth: "Mother, it's because her daughter is thinking too much."

"You didn't think too much. My mother really wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to ask you to marry, but it was not the second prince, but the fourth prince Shen." When she mentioned Mr. Shen, Princess Yongen remembered the incident of Shen Xiao carrying a dead person to sway the market just now, and she felt upset.

"Mother, Mr. Shen..." Zheng Wan also remembered the scene she saw on the street just now.
