Chapter 698: Discussing a Marriage
"What do you think of Yaoyao?"

The Queen Mother asked Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen with a smile on her face.

The Queen Mother was a little tired, but still reluctant to let go of the hand holding Xiao Fuyuan. Xiao Fuyuan realized this, got off the Queen Mother's lap, and sat obediently aside.

Originally, Xiao Fuyuan also wanted to go out to enjoy the flowers with Princess Yun'an, but the Queen Mother held her in her arms and refused to let go, and had no intention of letting her go out.

She could only sit obediently in front of the Queen Mother's knees, eating fruit and listening to the Queen Mother talk about the marriage between Princess Yun'an and her fourth brother.

"Back to the Queen Mother, we and other common people naturally don't dare to comment on Princess Yun'an." Mrs. Bai said very politely.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "In-laws, what you said is wrong. The Ai family has always advocated freedom of marriage. Only when both parties agree. Even the prince and princess cannot force a marriage. The Ai family must also give Yaoyao a marriage. A family that really likes her and loves her, rather than just focusing on her status as a princess. Just speak your true thoughts boldly."

These words are indeed the Queen Mother's true thoughts.

"I'll be honest, Queen Mother." Old Mrs. Bai said, "My fourth son has had high hopes since he was a child. Now he has won the first prize and entered the Hanlin Academy, which has changed the lintel of our Bai family from beginning to end. We naturally hope that he will Find a good marriage, Queen Mother, don’t think I’m greedy, I want the fourth child’s marriage to not only help his career, but also make him really like me.”

Mrs. Bai said it very straightforwardly.

The Queen Mother felt relieved after hearing this.

Ever since Bai Panmei became the number one scholar and entered the center of power in the capital, her marriage has attracted much attention.Whichever family he marries with will send a signal of alliance to the outside world.

If the Bai family just wants Bai Panmei to find someone she loves deeply, that is impossible.

In this case, it is better to make it clear.

"Aunt, what my mother-in-law said was very straightforward, but it's the truth," said Zhen.

"Yao Yao is a princess. If the fourth child of our family can marry Yao Yao, we will naturally be very happy. This will also save so many people from worrying about him." Mrs. Bai said.

Although they have not made friends with the people in the capital just a few days ago, many people in the city have now learned that the Queen Mother's niece who has lived abroad has returned, and this niece is the mother of the number one scholar and an old member of the Zhen Mansion. Many people have come to visit her in the past two days. few.

There are several families who are testing Bai Panmei's marriage.

Bai Panmei also had high-ranking officials in the Hanlin Academy who wanted to marry him. Even when the third child of the Bai family was doing business, someone came to the shop to mention the marriage of the fourth child.

Therefore, in order to reduce the confusion and let people from all walks of life figure out who the Bai family is relying on, it is better to marry Princess Yun'an and directly surrender to the emperor, just like Wu Xiaoying's father and become a pure minister.

"Your Majesty, aside from Princess Yaoyao's identity, she is also very lovable personally. She is beautiful and polite. I fell in love with her as soon as she came to my door." Old Mrs. Bai smiled from ear to ear.

Of her several grandson-in-laws, the eldest is kind-hearted, the second is indifferent, the third is lively and energetic, and Cuicui, who has never been married, is cheerful and lively.

Princess Yun'an is gentle and generous. Although she is a princess, she has no airs about her. Old lady Bai likes her very much.

Mrs. Zhen nodded with a smile and said to the Queen Mother: "Yao Yao came to our house, and everyone in our family disliked her. If she can marry into our Bai family, we will treat her well. We are not that waiting. They are a traditional family, whether she and the fourth child live in the Princess Mansion, live elsewhere, or they don't mind being with our whole family, it all depends on Yaoyao's wishes."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Since you have no objections and Yaoyao has no objections, the Ai family will mention it to the emperor and grant a marriage. Although it is a grant of marriage, a matchmaker is still needed. When the time comes, let Zhong Zhong The wife of Jinghou Mansion is a great matchmaker."

Neither Zhen nor Mrs. Bai had any objections.

"Grandma, I'm missing someone." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother didn't know why.

"Grandma just now said that Sister Yaoyao has no objection, and neither do my mother and grandma." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile, "The other person is my fourth brother. My fourth brother also has no objection."

Everyone laughed at what he said.

Mrs. Zhen tapped Xiao Fuyuan's forehead and said, "You are a clever little kid. I can't hide anything from you."

Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile: "Fourth brother likes sister Yaoyao very much."

The Queen Mother became even more happy after hearing this.

"Xiao Yuanbao, do you think the marriage between Fourth Brother and Sister Yaoyao is a good one?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.The reason why the Queen Mother kept Xiao Fuyuan was because she heard that Xiao Fuyuan spoke well and her mouth was opened. The Bai family would ask her about every big thing.

If she says yes, it’s okay, if she says no, it’s okay.

When Xiao Fuyuan saw the Queen Mother and asked her, she fell on the Queen Mother's knees and said, "Grandma, this is a good marriage. I like Sister Yaoyao to be my fourth sister-in-law. My fourth brother and Sister Yaoyao will definitely get along well for a hundred years."

"Queen Mother, what my granddaughter said is somewhat true. If she says it is good, it will be good." Old Mrs. Bai said to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's head and said, "That couldn't be better."

Since both parties were interested, the Queen Mother decided to discuss the marriage with the Emperor when he was free.

"... Queen Mother, Mrs. Fan brought Miss Fan to hand over a sign to ask for an audience." Aunt Chang came over and reported to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked indifferent, waved her hand and said, "No."

"Auntie, is Mrs. Fan Ping'er?" asked Zhen.

The Queen Mother sneered: "It's your cousin Zhen Ping."

Zhen Ping asked to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not hesitate to ask.

Fan Lingyi interfered with the imperial examination and was sent to the temple to think about his mistakes. He has been out for half a year.

Zhen Ping naturally wanted to bring her to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, in the hope of confessing in front of the Queen Mother and gaining her favor.

It's just that the Queen Mother doesn't believe that Fan Lingyi can truly repent.

In addition, Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were with Xiao Fuyuan, and the Queen Mother was even more reluctant to see Mrs. Fan and her daughter.

"Did you hear the rumors that Fan Lingyi chased your fourth son all over the city a few years ago?" the Queen Mother asked.

Zhen nodded.

"She was so stupid that she bribed the examiner and was taken advantage of by other students. Fortunately, your fourth child was not affected." The queen mother said with an angry look on her face when she mentioned this.

Xiao Fuyuan handed the Queen Mother water, patted the Queen Mother on the back and said comfortingly: "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry."

The Queen Mother hugged Xiao Fuyuan and took a breath and said, "Xiao Yuanbao is right, it's not worth being angry with them."

Then he said to Aunt Chang: "Let them go."

Aunt Chang nodded in agreement.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law resumed their daily chat.

"Grandma, I want to play with Sister Yaoyao and Sister Cuicui."

Xiao Fuyuan was a little bored sitting in the main hall and wanted to see the flowers and butterflies.

The Queen Mother also knew that keeping little Fuyuan by her side would make her feel bored, so she summoned a little palace maid and ordered her to take Little Fuyuan out to find Princess Yun'an and Cuicui.

Xiao Fuyuan was led outside the palace by the little palace maid, walked through the corridor, and came to the back garden.

"Sister Yaoyao."

"Sister Cuicui."

Xiao Fuyuan saw Princess Yun'an and Cuicui sitting in the pavilion in the garden chatting, so she ran over.
