Chapter 613: Chapter 309: Bloodline_1

Empress Dowager Fu laughed and said, "Jinyu may be naughty, but he has a good temperament and a kind heart. You see him teasing young ladies, but I heard from Tai Feng that he doesn’t even have a chambermaid now. Unlike those seemingly decent young men who have several people in their rooms at a young age. Jinyu is also smart, extremely good at his studies. Even the Emperor said that if this child can focus, he will be someone of great use..." on and on, she listed a whole lot of good about Huang Jinyu, then added, "Also, his family is uncomplicated, and his mother has a gentle nature. If you marry into their household, your life will be easy and comfortable. Marrying into his family would definitely be better than marrying into the Liang Family. Although the young men of the Liang Family are not bad, and the elders all fancy you, Lady Cui has already lost face. Even if you enter their door, would Lady Cui show you any kindness?"

Qian Yixiu murmured in a mosquito-like voice, "I understand. I no longer want to marry into the Liang Family door now, but I don’t want to marry into the Huang family either." For some reason, when she said she wouldn’t marry into the Liang Family, there was a faint pain in her heart.

Empress Dowager Fu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it because you have someone else in your heart?" She pretended to have a sudden realization and said, "Oh, I have guessed it now. You and Jinjin grew up together from a young age, a pair of childhood sweethearts... Yo, how come I never thought of him earlier? But, good child, heed the Emperor’s Maternal Grandmother’s advice, do not enter Prince Ning Mansion. If you do, you will suffer greatly in the future. Besides, the Emperor would not let you marry Jinjin."

"Why?" Qian Yixiu asked. She had always felt that the Emperor was particularly harsh on Prince Ning, much more than on any other Prince.

Empress Dowager Fu sighed and said in a low voice, "Well, I will tell you the truth. But, you must keep it to yourself, never speak of it to others. Nobody outside knows about this now. The Emperor’s Maternal Grandmother tells you this because she sees you as a stable and sensible child."

Qian Yixiu nodded her head quickly; she had always wanted to know why.

Empress Dowager Fu said, "ShengSheng is a good child. However, he has been encumbered by his background, or rather, by his birth mother. His mother was the daughter of a criminal minister. After her father was executed, she was made a Palace Maid. Alas, this woman’s mother was a non-Han concubine, so ShengSheng has the blood of foreigners in him. Although those who knew about this have been dealt with, it’s still like a thorn in the Emperor’s side."

Qian Yixiu, frightened, touched her neck, curiosity killed the cat.

She listened as Empress Dowager Fu continued, "If ShengSheng were mediocre, it would have been fine. He could have been just an idle Prince with no responsibilities, and still be fed. But instead, he’s capable and ambitious. The Emperor initially intended to use him to assist the Former Crown Prince, but then how did he get involved in the struggle for the throne, along with some rumors... Even though the Emperor has no choice but to use him, he is liked even less."

No wonder, Qian Yixiu realized. She had always felt that Prince Ning had profound eyes and a significant brow, which turned out to be due to his deep-set eyes. And thinking about Zhu Sujin, although his features seemed no different from those of the Great Qian People, they were more dimensional and attractive, and his eyes were a shade of brown.

It’s no wonder for the Emperor, being from a Royal Family that places great importance on bloodline, naturally, he wouldn’t want a Prince of impure bloodline to inherit the throne. It’s just a pity that fate does not bend to one’s wishes; in the end, this Prince of impure bloodline would still become the next monarch.

Empress Dowager Fu added, "Now you know? Don’t think you can marry Jinjin. The Emperor has said more than once that you are sharp-witted; he would not let such a clever woman into Prince Ning Mansion."

Qian Yixiu had, in fact, never thought about marrying Zhu Sujin, so she nodded along. She pursed her lips innocently and said, "If I were truly clever, not everyone would say so. I’m ’half a jar of vinegar,’ noisy but shallow."

Empress Dowager Fu laughed again and asked, "Since neither Jinjin nor the Liang Family’s young men are options, what do you think about Yuge?"

Qian Yixiu hemmed and hawed, "Your Majesty’s Maternal Grandmother, he’s still young..."

Empress Dowager Fu knew Qian Yixiu was truly unwilling and said disappointedly, "Alright, think it over. The Emperor’s Maternal Grandmother wouldn’t harm you. Eldest Princess Mansion is a good choice. If you miss this village, there won’t be this shop anymore."

Qian Yixiu nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty’s Maternal Grandmother, I know you truly have my best interests at heart."

No matter how good the external conditions are, if the two most important people are not willing, being forced together won’t lead to happiness.
