The Regent's Tender Darling

Lin Jiaojiao patted the back of Zhu Qianqian's hand and looked at her carefully. Without waiting for Wang's reply, she continued: "But my cousin is indeed a beautiful woman, worthy of a prince and minister."

Saying this made Zhu Qianqian blush. Her mother often said this, saying that she wanted to marry her into a noble clan in the capital.

But she herself knew how much she was worth, so she didn't expect any of this. She only hoped to marry the person she liked. Even if she was in trouble, she was willing to stay with him until she grew old.

"Princess, you are too complimentary. How can my daughter be as good as the princess said?" Wang said modestly, but she was already happy in her heart.

She didn't expect that the regent princess was stupid and ignorant, so she figured it out in a few words.

Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said nothing, and did not continue talking. Zhu Qianqian's beauty could be regarded as one of the best in the capital, but the Zhu family's status was a bit inferior. If the Zhu family came to the capital to serve as officials one day, maybe Zhu Qianqian would be the best. I can really marry into the family of a prince or count.

But in this life of the Zhu family, I think it will stop here.

Seeing that Zhu Qianqian is not a bad-hearted girl, she added: "It is good to be a prince and count, but it is not necessarily bad to be a learned and ambitious gentleman."

At these words, Zhu Qianqian's eyes suddenly became brighter, and then she smiled from the bottom of her heart and nodded "Yes" to Lin Jiaojiao.

But Wang didn't think so. Her daughter would naturally marry a prince or noble. If the regent could like her daughter, it would be good to be a concubine.

So he changed the topic and went straight to the theme of this visit: "My dear Princess, I heard that the court is busy with things, and I think that the Prince is very busy as the regent. The Prince accompanied the Princess to Hangzhou this time, which is enough to show that the Prince loves the Princess. "

Now that Yan Sihan was mentioned, Lin Jiaojiao also became serious, smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty is busy these days, and this visit is not just for my grandmother's birthday."

"Oh? Is it possible that the prince has official duties?" As soon as Wang opened his mouth, Yue, who had always had no sense of presence, also fixed his eyes on Lin Jiaojiao's face.

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head and said while thinking: "I don't know much about it. I just heard that the prince mentioned that it is the time when the court is employing people, and many official positions are vacant, which makes the prince distressed."

"Now is the season of the imperial examination. In previous years, most of the candidates who won the exam were talents from Jiangnan, and most of them were from Hangzhou. However, there are also many people who bribed the examiners to cheat. This time in the Hangzhou provincial examination, the prince said that he would personally supervise it."

Three years ago, more than half of the candidates who passed the Hangzhou Township Examination were admitted by handing in money. Really knowledgeable people failed one after another, and it was only after a large group of students went to the capital to find out.

At that time, the Qian family was the prefect of Hangzhou, so it was not surprising that such a thing happened.

These words were enough for the two ladies to think about. After thinking for a while, Wang felt more at ease. It seemed that the regent's visit was not due to the corruption of the former prefect of Hangzhou.

After all, something as big as Lin'an happened in the capital at that time, and the regent was so busy that he couldn't take care of it.

The promotion of her Zhu family as the new prefect was also authorized by the Empress Dowager. It seemed that there would be no problem, but that the Zhu family was overly worried.

But at the same time, she was a little melancholy. Her brother was also going to take the provincial examination this year. She had already planned for him, but now it seems that he is not going to be able to do it.
