Chapter 809 Substitution

When the old lady heard Zhen Ping's proposal to let Zhen Jiqiu go to the Rong Kingdom instead of Fan Lingyi, her first thought was to refuse.

After all, Zhen Jiqiu is her granddaughter. Although she is a concubine, she has always been raised by her side. She usually treats her warmly and coldly. The old lady actually has some true feelings for Zhen Jiqiu.

It would be great if Zhen Zhixia was born as a concubine!

She would agree to Zhen Ping's request without hesitation.

"Mom, you are also a mother, so you should understand how I feel about being a mother. I am not saying harsh words. If Ling Yi still goes to the Rong Kingdom, the day she leaves the cabinet will also be the day of my funeral."

Zhen Ping gritted her teeth with a look of determination.

As a result, the old lady's true feelings for Zhen Jiqiu completely collapsed in front of her daughter.

Finally nodded in agreement.

"Although I agreed, your brother also needs to know about this. Your brother has always loved Ji Qiu. If he objects, we will think of other ways." The old lady said.

Zhen Ping actually didn't really want her brother to know about their plans. This was done quietly. No matter how angry her brother was, he couldn't cut off contact with her sister.

But in the end she couldn't resist the old mother, so she had to agree with tears.

"Grandma, from now on Ling Yi's life is given to you. From now on, Ling Yi will only listen to your words."

Fan Lingyi knelt down in front of the old lady as if she had survived a disaster, and was pulled up by the old lady.

"For you, I would even give up my own granddaughter." The old lady said.

"I will definitely honor you in the future." Fan Lingyi said obediently.

The old lady summoned the Duke Zhen Chen, and the mother and son talked for a long time. In short, the final result was in line with Zhen Ping's mother and daughter's wishes.

Zhen Chen agreed to replace Fan Lingyi with Zhen Jiqiu to go to the Rong Kingdom.

Zhen Chen is naturally not a vegetarian. He abandoned a daughter and had to make a bigger plan.

As for how much benefit he got from Fan Shijie, that's a story for another day.

"Mom, brother, I think I'll keep this from Ji Qiu for now." After Zhen Ping thanked Zhen Chen profusely, she mentioned her request to hide it from Ji Qiu.

"It's natural."

Zhen Chen nodded. Since the terms of exchange have been agreed upon, there is no need for Zhen Jiqiu to know about it.

"There is no need to let other people in the family know about this, especially Aunt Zhang." The old lady warned.

Zhen Chen nodded.

"Ling Yi, you just stay at home these days and learn the rules from the nanny sent by the Queen Mother. Be honest and don't slack off. If the news leaks out, our plan will be in vain and you will have no choice but to go to Rong Kingdom. "The old lady said to Fan Lingyi with a straight face.

Fan Lingyi nodded obediently and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will be at home these days and I won't go anywhere."

Zhen Ping also assured the old lady: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her."

"When this matter is over, find a marriage for Ling Yi. It doesn't matter what your family background is, as long as your character is good. Ling Yi should leave the court quickly to avoid any trouble in the future." The old lady warned Zhen Ping again.

Zhen Ping thought the same as her old mother. After this incident, she could not let her daughter do whatever she wanted. The first step was to arrange a marriage for her.

"One more thing. After all, Ji Qiu is more than ten years older than the little princess of Mandan. She can't just keep the position of queen, but also ensure the position of the next king. When Mandan understands human nature, he will definitely like a girl as young as a flower. At that time, Ji Qiu will be..." the old lady said thoughtfully.

"Let's pick some daughters from reliable families to go with us. It's best if they are about the same age as the young king." Zhen Ping felt that this was not a big deal.

"I do have a suitable candidate." The old lady said, "Jing'er and her former husband have a daughter. She is about the same age as the girl from the Bai family, and is about the same age as the little king. Let's go to Huaicheng to pick up the daughter and accompany her to Qiu. Let's go to the Rong Kingdom together. As for Jing'er...and someone who can even abandon his daughter after divorce, I hope her daughter will be taken to the Rong Kingdom to climb high. If she doesn't want to, I have plenty of ways to make her agree."

"Mom is still thoughtful," Zhen Ping said flatteringly.

After everyone agreed on this, Zhen Ping took Fan Lingyi back with satisfaction.

Before leaving, the old lady and Zhen Chen specifically told Zhen Ping not to make Fan Shijie angry. Zhen Ping also agreed.

Zhen Chen left the old lady's place and went to Aunt Zhang's yard.

Aunt Zhang was excited for a moment, thinking that it was because of their childhood friendship that Lord Marquis remembered her.

"Master Hou, my family is proposing marriage to Ji Qiu these days. I don't ask for children from the Hou family. It's better to have good character and a simple family." Aunt Zhang took the initiative to mention her daughter's marriage.

In the past two years, Zhen Jiqiu has often complained that Aunt Zhang was holding her back, and hated that she was not entrusted with being born in the belly of her legitimate mother, which has led to her now being unable to agree on a high or low level of marriage. The people she fell in love with all thought she was a commoner, and the people she fell in love with were not the children of aristocratic families or the side wives of wealthy families.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give Ji Qiuxun a good match." Zhen Chen said.

"Father, what do you want to tell me about a good marriage?" Ji Qiu ran in delicately.

She would not come to Aunt Zhang's yard on weekdays. She came here when she heard that her father was coming.

Zhen Chen didn't answer this and just said: "You come to see your aunt more these days. It will be difficult to return to your parents' home after you leave the pavilion."

Aunt Zhang was moved to tears.

Zhen Jiqiu disagreed. Even if she left the cabinet, she would still be in the capital. She could not go home anytime she wanted.

Zhen Zhixia heard that her aunt took Fan Lingyi into her grandmother's house and cried. Even her father was alarmed. She didn't know what they said and her aunt took Fan Lingyi back again.

She captured a message from Nanny Zhang next to her grandmother, saying that her aunt and Fan Lingyi left with a smile.

She naturally knew that Fan Lingyi was going to the Rong Kingdom to kiss her. Her aunt must have come to her grandmother to discuss this matter, so if her aunt left with a smile, this matter should have been resolved?

I heard that the emperor's decree granting marriage has been issued, how can it be changed so easily.

So how can this matter be resolved?

Zhen Zhixia Bai was puzzled, so she thought for a while and went to Bai's house.

It is said that the little cousin of the Bai family is smart and talkative. Maybe I can get some useful information from my little cousin.

When Zhen Zhixia arrived at Bai's house, Xiao Fuyuan was in class.

Zhen Zhixia's face was full of envy. There was also a girls' school in Zhenguo's palace, but the girls' school was just doing embroidery and playing the piano.

"Sister Zhixia, are you looking for me?" Xiao Fuyuan ran to Zhen Zhixia after class and asked with a smile.

Xiao Fuyuan didn't kill Zhen Guo Gongfu at all. At least she liked Zhen Zhixia and Sister Zhen very much.

"I'm here to bring you food. The water chestnuts in our garden are very tender. I'll give them to you and your aunt to try." Zhen Zhixia Ming's maid handed a basket of water chestnuts to the red flowers beside Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan smiled and thanked her, and took Zhen Zhixia to sit in the pavilion and play.

"...Cousin, you know that Fan Lingyi is going to the Rong Kingdom. My aunt brought Lingyi to the house today. She came crying when she came, but she left with a smile..."

"What do you think prevents Fan Lingyi from going to the Rong Kingdom?"

Zhen Zhixia told Xiao Fuyuan about Zhen Ping taking Fan Lingyi to Zhen Guogong's Mansion.

She smiled as she spoke. What does her little cousin know? She is so young and looks at her with a confused face.

"Sister just said why Fan Lingyi didn't go to Rongguo?" Xiao Fuyuan asked with her eyes wide open.

Zhen Zhixia nodded, pinched Xiao Fuyuan's face and said, "I just asked casually."

Xiao Fuyuan opened her big black and white eyes and said, "If it were someone else, she wouldn't have to go."
