Chapter 347 Special
Chapter 347 Special
"Mother, I heard from Miao Liangren that the emperor intends to marry her eldest niece to my eldest brother?"
After the Sixth Princess Qin Jiayin took her seat holding the hand of her biological brother, the Sixth Prince Qin Mingjun, who was born to the same mother, she ran to Lu Xinyin's side, sat down next to her, and hugged her mother's waist, showing intimacy and dependence.
"Miao Chunsheng spent the first half of his life in mediocrity and silence, but now, at the age of fifty, he has won the favor of His Majesty and has a plan for flood control.
It even made your father want to marry his granddaughter to the eldest son, which is really strange."
Concubine Zhen, Lu Xinyin, did not hide her doubts in front of her two children.
As a person who has been possessed by another's soul, Lu Xinyin is very sensitive and suspicious of those whose behaviors are particularly inconsistent.
A minor official, because of his flood control strategy, became so famous that the news reached her.
"Before Miao Chunsheng was sent by his father to control the flood, he presented a book of flood control strategies, saying that it was the result of his half-life's hard work.
I have read it, and the content is very exquisite. Before he left the capital, I tried to test him by asking him for advice on water control.
Qin Mingjun shook his head slightly, "It doesn't live up to its reputation."
"I dare to conclude that the flood control strategy was definitely not written by him."
Qin Mingjun sought academic advice from many ministers under the pretext of being studious, but of course he could only talk about academic matters.
Now, just by chatting with him for a few minutes, you can roughly know whether this person has real talent and knowledge.
He learned this from his father.
Your Majesty should know that this book on flood control was not written by Miao Chunsheng.
There must be someone behind that strategy. How could he, a small seventh-rank official, hide a truly talented person and use him for his own purposes?
This is obviously impossible.
The book on flood control strategies begins with the title of taming the violent Yellow River since ancient times. The content is detailed, highly feasible, and well-cited. The author must have read many books on flood control.
Whether it is making contributions to flood control or writing books, there will be many people interested in this opportunity to leave their names in history, and there will definitely be people who will continue to want to expose Miao Chunsheng's past.
His foundation is too weak.
No matter how hard Miao Chunsheng pretended to be a taciturn and honest man, he couldn't hold out for long, so it must be someone in a high position of power who helped him to block it.
Is it the Liu family, the eldest royal brother, or some great god behind his wife?
Why did the emperor want to marry his granddaughter to my eldest brother?
"Mother, is this news credible?" Qin Mingjun frowned and asked in confusion.
The eldest royal brother has not yet been crowned king, and there are only two concubines of certain ranks in the prince's mansion.
The eldest prince is the eldest brother of all the princes. Although his adoptive mother is Shunpin who was born a maid, his biological mother is not ordinary. She is Concubine Rou who is from the Liu family.
The concubine has not yet entered the palace for selection. How could my father casually promise the only remaining position of concubine to my eldest brother?
The position of a concubine with a certain rank can be either light or heavy. It doesn’t matter if it’s of a lower status, but it has been decided before she even entered the palace to participate in the selection?
So...if this news is true, then the special thing...is that Miao Chunsheng's granddaughter will become the eldest brother's concubine.
The Sixth Prince Qin Mingjun’s eyes darkened.
"Last night, my mother was at the banquet and saw Shunpin looking at Miao Chunsheng's wife and a young maidservant who had just come of age.
My mother was still confused at the time, and after asking someone quietly, she found out that the grandparents and grandchildren were from the Miao family.
This news should be true." Lu Xiyin said firmly.
"Mother, I heard that Miao Liangren's maternal family name is Liu? Could it be that her mother, Liu, is from the same family as the eldest prince's maternal family?"
The Sixth Princess Qin Jiayin rested her head on Lu Xinyin's arm and spoke softly.
"How can such a crooked relative be worthy of Your Majesty marrying the granddaughter of a seventh-rank official who is a fraud to the eldest son of the emperor?
The problem must be with that girl."
"When your aunt comes, mother will ask her to quietly inquire for us."
Her adopted sister Lu Liniang would definitely be interested in this kind of thing.
