At this time, Princess Yongjia was still chatting with the old lady, thinking that this matter should be done.
She came to the Shen family with a low profile today. In addition to relying on Shen Yue to control Shen Zhixiu and show her aunt's magnanimity, the most important thing was to let the emperor see the responsibility of the Li family.
The emperor was very dissatisfied with her last time about the empress's Buddha body.
A few days ago, news came out from the palace that the Marshal Zhenbeihou, who was stationed in Liaodong, was not in good health. The emperor intends to replace the generals in Liaodong and wants to reuse young people. At that time, he also mentioned that if Li Yunsi, the legitimate son of the Li family, could take on a major responsibility, he could guard the entire northern defense line.
Even if the emperor just mentioned it casually, it would be a huge opportunity for the Li family.
She originally wanted to wait until the confinement was lifted before going to find out what the emperor had to say. Unexpectedly, today she said something wrong again and was reprimanded by the emperor. Therefore, when discussing marriage with the Shen family, there must be no more mistakes.
Even though it is just a small thing, if this small thing is done well, it can leverage the situation. If it is not done well, the power gained will be lost.
Su Qingyu had been staring at Princess Yongjia for a long time. Although she didn't understand what she was planning, Su Qingyu could tell that Princess Yongjia wanted to try her best to promote this marriage.
Before Wen Zhu responded, Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu just chatted and laughed without saying a word of agreement.
Just when Princess Yongjia and the old lady were chatting in full swing, Pearl suddenly walked in and said, "Madam, Manager Zhao has something to ask for to see the third master and his wife."
Su Qingyu's face darkened, "Didn't you see that Third Master and I were talking to the princess? Why are you so expressionless? He has to wait for all the big things."
Upon seeing this, Princess Yongjia quickly said: "Third Madam, you are too polite. We are serious in-laws, there is no need for such things. The people below must have something important to do. You go and take a look."
Su Qingyu was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "The princess will chat with her mother first, and the third master and I will come back as soon as we go."
The couple got up and walked out. Princess Yongjia took a deep look at their backs, then turned back to continue greeting the old lady.
In another flower hall of Qingyuan Residence, Wenzhu stood waiting at the door with his hands lowered.
Seeing Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu coming over, Wen Zhu stepped forward and said, "Third Master, my subordinates have found out."
"Shortly after Third Miss and Young Master Yunzhou left the other courtyard, the Emperor suddenly left in casual clothes."
"After the emperor heard about the third lady, he sent someone to call Princess Yongjia to the other courtyard and asked her what she planned to do. Princess Yongjia said that since the Miss Shen family hates marriage so much, the Li family can just marry her in."
"The emperor was furious at that time and rebuked Princess Yongjia for her lack of responsibility. He said that this matter was originally a fault of the Li family, and she, as the legitimate mother, had to bear the blame. He also said that if she did not understand etiquette so much, the royal family's annual celebrations would be in trouble in the future. There is no need for her to take care of the matter."
"After the Emperor finished speaking, Princess Yongjia asked for an explanation, saying that she was confused for a moment. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this matter will be taken care of."
Su Qingyu frowned when she heard this, "How could the emperor be so angry? Isn't Princess Yongjia the emperor's biological sister?"
Although this matter is not a trivial matter for the Shen family, for the emperor, it is not a big matter that can make him angry, right?
Shen Zhixiu knew that she was puzzled, so he explained: "A few days ago, I revised the regulations on employment and assessment of the staff department, and the emperor was very satisfied. I guess I am using this matter to promote the Shen family."
This is also the king's heart. It is said that the king's heart is unpredictable, but letting the people below guess the holy will is also the way to be a king.
"Princess Yongjia is not the emperor's biological sister. The emperor is far less doting on her than she appears to be."
If we talk about favor, the emperor's true favor was towards his biological sister, Princess Yongning.
Su Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, and a thought quickly flashed through her mind.
"Third Master, this is an opportunity..."
Not long after, Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu returned to the main hall again.
Princess Yongjia looked at the expressions of the two people and saw nothing strange.
He continued to laugh and joke, "We are already kissing each other. When the third lady comes into the house, I will have another daughter to love."
Su Qingyu smiled lightly and said.
"Princess, please allow me to say something. Actually, the Third Master and I haven't decided yet on the third young lady's marriage."
"The princess also knows that the third master feels sorry for his own daughter when he becomes the third lady, for fear of being wronged."
"Today the Third Master also said that we should not rush into a marriage just because of our reputation."
The old lady was confused, what did Su Qingyu mean by saying this? If Shen Yue doesn't marry Li Yunzhou, can she marry someone else?
She wanted to speak, but Shen Zhixiu stopped her with a look.
Shen Zhixiu didn't let the old lady speak, and he didn't speak either. He just lowered his head and drank tea.
Princess Yongjia laughed twice, "Third Madam, what do you mean? If nothing else, I treat Yunzhou as my own son."
Su Qingyu lowered her eyebrows slightly, hiding the disdain and coldness in her eyes. Does it hurt your own son? She was so embarrassed to say it. He wears a kind and loving exterior, but is actually more vicious than anyone else.
But he said with a smile: "We are all elders. Please understand, Princess."
"You also know that this child grew up under the eyes of Third Master. Third Master always loves her more."
After saying that, Su Qingyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a slight smile on her face. There was no intention of being anxious at all, as if the next moment he would completely reject the Li family.
Su Qingyu wasn't pretending, she was really not in a hurry. She had no intention of letting Shen Yue get engaged to the Li family, so there was no pressure to hang on to Princess Yongjia.
She was not in a hurry, but Princess Yongjia was.
"Third Madam, if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. The betrothal gift and wedding style are all negotiable."
Su Qingyu put down the teacup in her hand, sighed and said, "When the princess married in, the princess was worried about the eldest young master's future. In fact, we are no different today. Not only is the fourth young master a concubine's son, he also has no official position. We also have to plan for the third young lady's future, right?"
The old lady had a look of praise on her face when she heard this, saying in her heart that Su Qingyu was really planning for Shen Yue. She ignored this.
Although Princess Yongjia was a little surprised that Su Qingyu said this, she didn't think much about it. It is understandable to think that the Shen family just has a good reputation.
"Then what the Third Madam means is that she wants our Fourth Young Master to serve as an official in the imperial court? He did not take the imperial examination, which is difficult to do."
Su Qingyu was a little unhappy, "What should we do? We can't just marry our third lady?"
Suddenly he said: "I do have an idea, that is... I don't know if I should say it or not, it might be a bit against the rules."
Princess Yongjia had no doubt that he was there, "Third Madam, please tell me."
Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Can we let the fourth young master go to the army and get a general? He doesn't need to have any real power, as long as he can look good on the surface."
"Princess, don't get me wrong, I'm not meddling in military affairs. If it doesn't work, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Talking about marriage is a tug of war in itself. For smaller households, bargaining is the norm.
