Chapter 1884 Let her see first
Lord Qin only recently learned of his daughter's feelings.
He had previously thought that Qin Yuerong had agreed to the Crown Prince's request based on practical considerations, but seeing her worry about the Crown Prince these past few days, with her anxiety written all over her face, and her inability to eat or sleep properly, he realized that his daughter's heart had already fallen for the Crown Prince.
Qin Yuerong has truly fallen in love with the Crown Prince.
If, at this point, the Crown Prince, considering power and the situation, were to abandon the marriage alliance with the Qin family and instead marry one of the two young ladies recommended by the royalists, Qin Yuerong would probably be heartbroken.
Even if the Qin family tries to fight for it, Qin Yuerong will probably only be able to get the position of another concubine.
Can--
That's not what Qin Yuerong wanted.
Thinking about this made Lord Qin feel suffocated and heavy-hearted.
For so many years, he had never thought about vying for power or profit, nor had he planned to curry favor with the royal family. He never imagined that he would now have to fight for such a position for his daughter.
However, during this time he also considered the Crown Prince and felt that he was indeed an upright and honest person with lofty ambitions and a heart for the world.
He would be happy to help someone like that get into that position.
If his daughter likes it, he should naturally try to win her over.
So Lord Qin secretly came to Prince Jin to inquire.
In truth, it was only because Prince Jin was Lu Zhaoling's husband that Lord Qin dared to ask him such a question.
At this time, the Qin family seemed to trust Lu Zhaoling more.
If Zhou Shiyue knew this, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.
Now he has put Lord Qin's mind at ease.
"The Crown Prince is a man of his word, especially when it comes to young women."
Zhou Shiyue said to Lord Qin, "He has already spoken with Miss Qin, so he will not change his mind."
Lord Qin felt a slight sense of relief.
“However, Lord Qin and Miss Qin should also be prepared,” Zhou Shiyue tapped the table lightly with his fingers, becoming more earnest. “It is almost impossible for the Crown Prince to have only one person in the harem in the future. There will be at least two or more consorts, although he certainly won’t have as many concubines as his father.”
But it's unlikely that there will only be one heir.
Because of the Crown Prince's status and position, he will also have to consider the bigger picture in the future.
The Crown Prince shouldn't be so petty as to only tolerate one woman sleeping beside him.
Lord Qin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "This humble official would not dare to make such a request."
If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the harem will certainly not consist of only Yue'er.
Yue'er herself was aware of this.
Zhou Shiyue nodded and said, "If you are willing, that's good. If Miss Qin is not willing, you can say so directly. I guarantee that I will not let the Crown Prince cause any trouble for your Qin family. Of course, if Miss Qin has the ability to persuade the Crown Prince or win his heart and make him give up his other concubines for her, I will also support that."
Lord Qin found this hard to believe.
"Your Highness, you..."
As the Crown Prince's uncle, wouldn't he prefer the Crown Prince to take more concubines so that the royal family could have more offspring?
If the crown prince only had one empress, he would probably be drowned in the spittle of all the officials.
Women who make such demands are often labeled as jealous tigresses, and no one in the world would like them.
But the Prince of Jin actually said he supported it?
Zhou Shiyue said calmly, "I will only have one queen, what's so surprising? If the crown prince didn't love the world more, he probably wouldn't have taken more wives. You can think about it yourselves."
"But you can rest assured that even if the Crown Prince has other people in the future, they will definitely respect Miss Qin."
How to balance the relationships among the concubines in the harem was Zhou Ze's own business.
But he believed that Zhou Ze would continue to respect and care for Qin Yuerong as always. The men in the Zhou family were all somewhat sentimental.
Including his elder brother.
Initially, his elder brother was also madly in love with the empress. If the empress hadn't been so stubborn, she would now be the emperor's most valued wife.
However, the emperor allowed her to stay in the Buddhist temple for so many years without interfering with anything, and even had people send her things from time to time. He would send ice when it was hot, charcoal when it was cold, and he never forgot to send any high-quality offerings to the Buddhist temple.
Isn't this a kind of deep affection? After all, he is the emperor, and it's really hard to expect a monarch to have only one woman in his harem.
Of course, he wasn't that kind of person; he could give up the throne.
After receiving the answer from the King of Jin, Lord Qin immediately took his leave.
When he left, Qingfeng led him to the back door.
The maidservant from the Shen family naturally did not encounter them when she came over.
However, the Shen family maid was not taken to the study. Qingsong led her in and stopped her at the stone pavilion not far from the study.
"Wait here." Qingsong told others to watch over her, as he needed to hurry to Huaiyuan Garden.
He had to hurry and tell the princess.
If the princess is worried, wouldn't she have to come back and check the letter right away?
Miss Shen has been thinking about the Prince since she was a child. Not long ago, they thought she had given up, but now she's starting to cause trouble again.
The maidservants of the Shen family dared not look around.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Shiyue finally arrived leisurely.
"This servant greets Your Highness."
"Where's the letter?" Zhou Shiyue didn't waste any more words with her.
The maid quickly took out the letter and handed it over with both hands.
"My young lady said the letter must be delivered to the Prince..." The maid of the Shen family thought Zhou Shiyue was going to reach out to take it, but unexpectedly, the guard next to her brought over a wooden tray.
She was stunned.
"Just put it on the tray," Qingfeng said.
The maidservant from the Shen family subconsciously glanced at Prince Jin beside her.
"Get out if you're not going to give it to me." Zhou Shiyue glanced over. What, did he have to take the letter himself?
He doesn't even want to touch it, right?
The maidservant from the Shen family couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, will you read the letter?"
"go out."
Zhou Shiyue didn't even bother to reply to her and simply turned away.
"This servant brings the letter!" The maidservant from the Shen family quickly placed the letter on the tray in Qingfeng's hands. "Please, Your Highness, read this letter. My young lady has written something very important!"
"Take her out." Zhou Shiyue said without turning his head.
The maid from the Shen family was taken away.
She stood at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and sighed.
This can be considered as handing it over to the Prince of Jin personally, right?
She couldn't just force the letter into the Prince of Jin's hands; she'd probably get beaten to death if she did.
Shen Xiangjun had been anxiously waiting for her, and when she saw her return, she quickly asked her what was wrong.
Have you seen the prince?
"seen."
"Was the letter delivered to him? Did he read it?" Shen Xiangjun asked anxiously.
"This..." The maid could only recount what had happened.
"It's okay, he'll definitely read it." Shen Xiangjun felt very sad, but she still held onto hope. "No one can be without basic curiosity. As long as he reads it, he'll come to see me."
She firmly believes this.
Sophora japonica garden.
Lu Zhaoling was looking at the topographical maps that Sheng San Niangzi had handed over.
Madam Sheng and her family were quite capable; in a short period of time, they found three decent houses.
