The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 340 6 Princesses

Sister Wei's eyes were extremely clear, and her mind and ambition were revealed for the first time.

"If you are destined to marry someone, then it doesn't matter who it is. If you are the legal wife, you will inevitably take concubines for your husband, manage the household, support your parents, and raise your children. This will be your life."

She rested her chin on the quilt and continued thoughtfully, "It feels like a life like this will end in sight. It's completely devoid of fun."

"Grandma, I'm not one to stick to the status quo. I've been living off my dowry for my whole life, and I feel so frustrated. If I could, I'd also like to go out and try my luck, like my cousin, and have my own world. But after thinking it over, I really don't know what to do. Don't worry if you laugh at me, but I'd like to go to a girls' school and become a teacher. I'd like to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but I can't say I'm proficient in them, but I'd like to know a little bit about them."

This statement by Sister Wei is quite modest. Among the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Sister Wei is best at painting, which may be due to her inheritance of the Duan family's genes.

Among her former classmates, Sister Wei was not the best, but she was always among the top in every subject.

A person's energy is limited, and it is rare to be able to do everything to the best of one's ability.

“As long as your heart sets its mind to it, whatever you do will be a blessing.”

Sister Wei nodded. "Grandma is right. I just can't accept it. So when the news of the Sixth Prince's concubine selection banquet first came out, I thought about it for several days and made this decision."

"It doesn't matter who you marry."

Sister Wei smiled sarcastically, "Grandma, for a family like ours, marrying up is out of the question. Even if we look for someone lower down... what kind of good family is there? Grandma, it's not that I'm a snob. It would be fine if I met a good family, but if I met those scoundrels, I'd be in trouble. There'd be no one to complain to when I go back to my parents' home."

"I was raised by you. Although there are some things you never taught me, I still see in you a difference from those women in the inner chambers. Your vision is never limited to the inner courtyard, but to the vast world. I want to be like you, but I fear being confined by the inner chambers."

Sister Wei's eyes were very bright, even in the middle of the night, under the dim candlelight, they were still dazzling.

"Then why don't you think you are trapped by the Sixth Prince?"

Song Shengfu asked, and Sister Wei smiled embarrassedly.

Okay, Song Shengfu understands. It would be impolite to continue.

"I'm tired of reading about love in storybooks. Being bound by emotions is irrational. When a woman falls in love, she becomes crazy and obsessive, and her heart is not with herself. At this moment, I clearly understand that I am rational, and the choice I made is also rational."

"Won't you regret it?"

Song Shengfu understood what Sister Wei meant.

"My granddaughter has no regrets."

Sister Wei spoke in a resounding voice and was very determined in her choice.

Feeling the warm palm on her head, Sister Wei closed her eyes and felt the comfort of her grandmother.

"Grandmother will always respect and support your choices. Go to sleep, child. You still have to see the Queen tomorrow."

"understood."

Sister Wei knew that her grandmother would support her, so she lay down contentedly.

Song Shengfu couldn't sleep, so she closed her eyes and thought about something.

After all, it still affected Sister Wei.

Thoughts from different eras cannot be integrated. Although she tried her best to avoid this result, it was inevitable that she would notice something wrong after spending so much time with him.

On the one hand, she thought about what the future held for Wei Jie'er. On the other hand, she reminded herself that she was lucky she wasn't often with her son and daughter-in-law. The children were young, and she was used to it on weekdays, but her two sons were different.

Before returning to the underworld, the right thing to do is to hide your identity first.

After thinking about it, he fell asleep.

After meeting the queen the next day, the royal betrothal gifts arrived in about a day or two.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims: A perfect match is destined by Heaven, a perfect couple is formed... Shi Wei, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, is betrothed to the Sixth Prince. This is my decree."

Duan Bo's mansion had already hung up red silk, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

"Thank you, eunuch. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Duan Jing'an stepped forward and personally handed the lucky bag to Eunuch Li.

"Dr. Duan is very polite. I will gladly accept it."

Eunuch Li put the soft bag in his hand into his sleeve with a smile, while saying auspicious words.

"Good things come in pairs at the Bo Mansion. There will be more excitement later. I need to reply to the Empress, so I won't stay long. I'll leave first."

Everyone in the Bo's Mansion pondered the meaning of these words and personally sent the eunuch out.

"Father-in-law, I must have a drink at the wedding next time. You must come then."

"sure."

After seeing off Eunuch Li, the Bo Mansion held a small banquet and invited relatives and friends to have fun.

All day long, there was constant singing and music in Bo's mansion.

At the same time, the family letter from the Bo Mansion and the imperial edict from the palace arrived at the Shen Mansion.

Shen Xianli sat in the room for a long time, holding the family letter and the imperial edict.

"Master, today is my sister's wedding. We have already prepared the wedding paper and banquet. Would you like to take a look to see if there is anything missing?"

The butler knocked on the study door, and Shen Xianli's slightly low voice came from inside the room.

"Okay, have everyone wait. I'll come as soon as I finish my business."

Shen Xianli in the room held a pen and thought for a long time, then wrote three letters, one to Sister Wei, one to his mother-in-law, and one to His Majesty.

"What does Eunuch Li mean by 'good things come in pairs'? Could it be that Kang Ge'er wants, wants..."

Inside the Bo Mansion, everyone was thinking together.

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she couldn't speak, and everyone had this vague guess in their hearts.

"The war has been suspended. I guess he will return to the capital with the imperial army. According to the last news from the border, he will be back in a few days."

"Amitabha, God bless me, God bless me, my child is finally back."

Mrs. Lu clasped her hands together and excitedly chanted the Buddha's name. Everyone looked happy because the boy in the family was finally coming back.

It has been almost four years since I left. I wonder if you can still recognize me or if I have changed in appearance.

Xuan Ge'er didn't get angry with his sister at this time. He excitedly pulled his sister's sleeve and kept saying, "Brother is coming back, brother is coming back."

Seeing him like this, Sister Wei tapped his forehead and said, "You're so happy that Brother is coming back that you don't even care to be angry with me?"

Xuan Ge'er's mouth dropped, "I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong."

Sister Wei embraced Brother Xuan. His height had already reached her shoulders, and in a few years he would be a young boy.

"Xuan'er has grown taller and looks like his mother."

Sister Wei pulled Brother Xuan out and sat on the corridor on the side.
