Chapter 668: The Queen's Marriage Grant
Suddenly, Madam Zheng said slowly, "How could there be none? Ziyan has grown up in front of everyone's eyes since she was a child. She is a real lady from a noble family. She is not only well-educated, but also gentle, virtuous, and of noble character."
Mrs. Zheng thought to herself that her son went to the Gu Mansion every day, but had not made any obvious progress so far.
She couldn't help but feel doubtful. Was it because Gu Ziyan was unwilling?
Come to think of it, no girl would want her son to be in this situation, so she hopes Zi Yan will be soft-hearted and help her rebellious son.
Mrs. Zheng was very worried. They were both normal people, so why did their son have such a hobby?
However, all this information came from his son. It was said that Gu Ziyan seemed to have some hesitation, but she had not yet fully agreed.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng decided to put her worries aside for the time being and be a little selfish to add fuel to the fire for her son.
It just so happens that the time is right now, and it is the perfect moment to help Gu Ziyan out of her predicament.
As a result, as soon as Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present instantly shifted to her.
Madam Zheng smiled and continued to speak to Princess Rui: "Today, while you are all here, I hope you can bear witness for me. Princess Rui, what do you think of my Jinshu?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was surprised. Zheng Jinshu was a rare young and promising person in the capital!
Some people, however, were wondering whether Mrs. Zheng was mentally ill.
He was actually willing to marry a divorced woman like Gu Ziyan.
The key point is whether Zheng Jinshu is willing?
What is even more strange is how a mother would be willing to let her son marry a divorced person, but Prince Rui has no rights at all!
Although Gu Ziyan does look good.
But we have been divorced!
Many people present didn't quite understand.
The Duke's wife and several imperial concubines who were seated at the top were all surprised.
The queen thought that where there were many women there would be many troubles, so when people came to pay their respects to her, there would be quarrels. However, she usually did not say much and would only speak up to stop them when they had almost finished quarreling.
She really didn't expect this to happen. She also knew Zheng Jinshu, who was the highest-ranking official among the unmarried young people in the capital.
When Princess Rui heard this, she was slightly startled at first, and then she noticed that Madam Zheng asked her opinion in a friendly manner. This move undoubtedly gave Princess Rui enough face.
Princess Rui immediately smiled and said, "Jinshu! He grew up with our Zizhan since he was a child. Speaking of this child, he is a rare good child!"
Gu Ziyan didn't expect that Zheng Jinshu's mother would come to her rescue at this time.
Looking at her expression, it was clear that he was indeed not lying and his mother agreed.
Madam Zheng heard that Princess Rui was also quite satisfied with her son, so she said, "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. The Queen is here, Princess Rui, how about we ask the Queen to grant the marriage?"
Madam Zheng felt that this was a good opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to grant their marriage, and then no one would dare to say anything about their future marriage.
Princess Rui couldn't stop smiling when she heard this, so she looked at the Queen and said, "Queen, can you help me become an adult and know beauty?"
Now, Princess Rui, hearing what Madam Zheng said, of course, wants to strike while the iron is hot!
Both sides felt that they were marrying above the other, so both sides were very friendly.
Afraid that the other party will not agree.
So the two of them looked at the Queen together.
The Queen sat upright on the Phoenix Chair, her eyes gently falling on the two people below, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a kind smile and said: "The matter of granting marriage is of course feasible, but marriage is the top priority in life. Your Lord Xiao Zheng agrees."
After saying this, the Queen Mother turned her gaze to Madam Zheng standing beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Madam Zheng quickly stood up, bowed to the Queen, and responded with a smile: "In reply to the Queen, my boy is happy to agree to this matter. It is a blessing for him to marry a gentle and virtuous woman like Zi Yan."
When saying this, Mrs. Zheng's tone was sincere and firm, as if she was very satisfied with Zi Yan, the daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family.
When these words reached the ears of the Duke's wife, it was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
The Duke's wife's face suddenly turned gloomy, as depressing as the sky before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
She stared at Madam Zheng intently, gritting her teeth and questioning, "Madam Zheng, you should think twice before you act! The mistress of our Duke's Mansion can't even tolerate the only concubine in the mansion. Can you be sure that your son won't take a concubine in the future?"
Faced with such aggressive questioning from the Duke's wife, Mrs. Zheng did not show any weakness.
She straightened up, still with a faint smile on her face, and replied: "Here, I can guarantee that as long as Ziyan agrees to this marriage, my Jinshu will definitely not take a concubine in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into an uproar.
Everyone present was shocked and started talking among themselves.
"Oh my, how lucky is Gu Ziyan! She can even get such strong support from Mrs. Zheng." Someone couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, yes, it seems that this marriage is a done deal." Someone else echoed.
At this time, Princess Rui next to her was also secretly happy.
She thought to herself, Mrs. Zheng is such a sensible person. It is so rare to have such a relative!
Is this the good luck that has come for Zi Yan?
The Zheng family is so sincere.
The good days for her Rui Wang Mansion are finally coming, this son-in-law can beat a lot of people!
The Queen looked at Gu Ziyan and asked, "What do you think of this marriage, Princess Gu?"
Gu Ziyan was stunned. She had never expected Zheng Jinshu to be so sincere. He said that if they got married, he would give her all the respect.
I didn't expect that he had already made arrangements for his family.
So what does she have to worry about?
Princess Rui saw that her daughter was still in a daze, so she quickly pulled her daughter.
Only then did Gu Ziyan come back to her senses.
He stood up and saluted the Queen: "I will follow your instructions, mother."
The Empress smiled and said, "Well, I am also happy to accomplish something good. I will grant you two families a marriage. When the Imperial Observatory finds a good time, I will issue an imperial decree."
After hearing this, Princess Rui and Madam Zheng both stood up and said, "Thank you, Queen."
"Well, no need to be polite. Do you have any requirements regarding the time?"
They both said at the same time: "The sooner the better."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other.
At the same time: "Hehe......"
Mrs. Zheng quickly explained, "My Jinshu is almost thirty, so I hope it can be sooner."
Princess Rui also agreed: "We also think that the two children are not young anymore."
The Queen nodded: "Yes, it's okay."
