Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 720 The Duke of Zhen’s Plan

The turmoil in the Bai family has just ended.

The turmoil in the Queen Mother's palace arose again.

Zhen Chen, the Duke of Zhen Guo, came down from court and came to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay his respects.

Since the Bai family came to Beijing, the Queen Mother's mood has become better and better, and her health has also improved.

Especially I can fall asleep well at night and feel refreshed when I get up in the morning.

Because she was in a good mood, she did not refuse her nephew's greetings. The queen mother also wanted to take this opportunity to give her nephew a slap in the face to prevent him from having evil intentions against the Bai family.

"Auntie is doing very well recently." Zhen Chen came to the main hall of Yuqing Palace and bowed to the Queen Mother in the distance when she saw her.

"Your cousin has been getting better and better every day since she came back," the Queen Mother said.

Then he pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhen Chen arrived at Xie and sat on a stool to talk to the Queen Mother.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood and mentioned the return of her cousin, she told her all her plans.

"...You said you want to know Xia or send Qiuxu to the fourth child of the Bai family?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly after hearing Zhen Chen's plan.

If it were the old Zhen family, and the cousins ​​were getting closer, she would be happy to see it happen.

But it is absolutely impossible for the current Zhen Mansion to get married to the fourth son of the Bai family.

Even if she agreed, Mrs. Zhen would not agree.

Zhen Chen thought it was well hidden, so he thought what happened back then could be revealed, right?

It's a beautiful thought. After a while, with the stone hammer and the fourth child of the Bai family has established a firm footing, she will definitely tear down the Zhenguo Palace and avenge her niece.

"Don't you think it's okay, the Queen Mother?" Zhen Chen asked.

"Do you think it's okay?" The Queen Mother asked instead of being angry.

Zhen Chen was quite afraid of this aunt when she was at home, and she is still like this now.

He replied carefully: "Back to the Queen Mother, to be honest, my nephew thinks this marriage is the best. My cousin has just come to the capital. Although her son is the number one scholar, the Bai family's family background is too low and the foundation is not stable. So the nephew thinks Send Zhi Xia or Qiu Xu to the fourth child of the Bai family, so that the two families can become one family, which will also be helpful to the fourth child of the Bai family."

Originally, before Zhen Chen entered the palace, Zhi Xia learned that her father was going to promise herself or her younger sister to Bai Panmei, so she went to her mother to tell her father that she was not willing to marry the Bai family.

Zhen Chen had always been partial to Ji Qiu. Hearing what his eldest daughter said, he thought that would be just right. Bai Panmei was just the right person to find a potential and capable son-in-law for his younger daughter.

But when they arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, they were afraid that the Queen Mother might be overestimating the Bai family by promising their concubine's daughter to the Bai family, so she took Zhixia with her.

The Queen Mother would have laughed out loud if she knew what he was thinking. The Queen Mother was the daughter of a concubine of the Zhen family. In her mind, marriage had nothing to do with a concubine. She also did not think that a daughter of a concubine was inferior to a concubine.

Zhen Chen was really overthinking it.

The Queen Mother did not speak.

Zhen Chen was a little unsure of the Queen Mother's thoughts.

"Queen Mother, the fourth son of the Bai family is also a bloodline of the Zhen family. After becoming the son-in-law of the Zhen family, he is one with us."

Zhen Chen's words were to remind the Queen Mother that she was the Queen Mother's natal family in Zhenguo Gongfu.

As the Queen Mother, she should plan for her family.

He didn't know that the Queen Mother suspected him of selling the Zhen family back then, so she pretended that nothing had happened until she exposed it.

He didn't believe that the Queen Mother would insist on this matter. After all, punishing the Zhenguo government would do no good to the Queen Mother.

Nephew and niece, the Queen Mother must know very well which is more important.

Back then, he had no choice but to sell Zhen Fu in order for the Zhen family to stand up again.

If he had his way back then, he wouldn't have done that.

Zhen Fu was not harmed and was still alive and returned to the capital. Now that he is back, he is willing to compensate his cousin by marrying his daughter to his cousin's son, so that the Zhenguo Palace can become Bai Panmei's backer in the court. He feels that this sincerity is very great.

He didn't understand what the Queen Mother was still thinking about.

"Neither Zhixia nor Jiqiu is suitable." The Queen Mother said, "The Ai family has already chosen the fourth child of the Bai family to marry."

Zhen Chen's heart sank.

Could it be Fan Lingyi?
  Compared to his niece, he naturally felt that it was more appropriate for his daughter to marry Bai Panmei.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know whether to say it or not. I think Ling Yi's child is not suitable. The child cannot bear the grievance. I am afraid that he will be unable to endure the hardship when he gets to the Bai family." Zhen Chen said after considering it.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother nodded and said: "You are right, Ling Yi is indeed not suitable."

Zhen Chen felt a little panicked. Only then did he realize that there was someone else besides Fan Lingyi.

But who is that person?
  I thought about all the ladies in the family of my colleagues in the DPRK, but I couldn't think of anyone who was suitable.

"May I ask, Queen Mother, which daughter do you value?" Zhen Chen asked.

"Princess Yun'an. The Yi family has already discussed with the emperor and will grant a marriage in the next few days." The Queen Mother said calmly.

Zhen Chen was very surprised.

Who was he thinking of? He never expected that the Queen Mother would marry Princess Yun'an to the fourth child of the Bai family.

Rong and Xia are about to negotiate peace.

He had heard that the Rong Kingdom wanted to marry the Princess of the Xia Kingdom.

If the nature of the marriage is different this time, the princess of Xia Kingdom will marry, and Xia Kingdom will take the lead.

From now on, the successor of the Rong Kingdom will be decided by the Xia Kingdom. No one in the court or ministers objected. He saw that the emperor seemed to be interested.

Why is it that the Queen Mother has already discussed with the Emperor to point out Princess Yun'an to Bai Panmei?
  "I know you are thinking about the Rong Kingdom asking to marry our princess. Even if the Rong Kingdom asks to marry our princess, Yaoyao cannot go. If Yaoyao goes, how will I go underground to meet my old friends in the future." The Queen Mother sneered at Zhen Chen.

Zhen Chen became more and more frightened, almost sweating on his forehead.

Queen Mother, what does this mean?
  Is it possible that you want to find a daughter from your clan, make her a princess, and marry her to the Rong Kingdom?

It is not impossible.

Wasn't the Queen Mother's aunt just selected as a princess and sent for marriage?

Zhen Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore. His two daughters couldn't go to the Rong Kingdom.

The risk is too great. It would be of little benefit to the Zhenguo government for the daughter of the Zhen family to get married.

……

When the Zhenguo Duke's mansion was discussing Bai Panmei's marriage with the Queen Mother in the palace, the Zhenguo Duke's wife, Xiao Li, finally entered the Bai family's door.

"Sister Fu, I thought we would never see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect that we would see each other again." Before Xiao Li drank her tea, she held Madam Zhen's hand and cried.

"Sit down." Zhen said a little calmly.

Little Li knew that Mrs. Zhen was cold to her because of her aunt and mother-in-law.

But people's hearts are made of flesh, and the past relationship between her and Mrs. Zhen cannot be lost forever.

"I have always wanted to come and see my sister, but I have no time, so I have put it off until now." Mrs. Li put the blame on herself. In fact, both she and Mrs. Zhen knew that she had already come once, but in vain.

"Mrs. Lao is concerned." Mrs. Zhen looked calm, took the tea from Xie Chuntao and handed it to Xiao Li herself, saying, "We country people don't have any good tea, madam, don't dislike it."

Little Li was so depressed by the shouts from his wife that Sister Fu was finally separated from her.

"Sister, don't you even call me sister or sister-in-law?"

There was disappointment in Li's voice.
