Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 149 Mother and Daughter
"A girl from the Sheng family?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yong frowned, somewhat hesitant.

"This……"

Unlike the Rong family, the Sheng family was a lineage of upright civil officials, and was the most untouchable!
At the very least, it's something the Prince Yong's mansion, which aspires to the throne, doesn't want to provoke.

You see, in everyone's eyes, the Rong family was nothing more than a nouveau riche. At best, their prosperity was due to a favored concubine who was lucky enough to enter the palace.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Consort Rong had no children.

This is why, no matter how much the current emperor dotes on Consort Rong, Princess Yong never takes her seriously and regards the Rong family as nouveau riche.

But the Sheng family is different!
It's not that the Sheng family is stronger than the Rong family. On the contrary, even if the Sheng family were ten times stronger now, with the support of the palace, they still couldn't compare to the Rong family.

But what truly made Princess Yong wary was the Sheng family's status as civil officials. Since ancient times, whenever a member of the imperial family clashed with a civil official, regardless of whether they were in the right or wrong, these civil officials would all rush to attack them like they were on steroids!

Of course, in almost every case, the civil servants were in the right, and even if they were in the wrong, they could use their words to make themselves sound reasonable.

In short, when it comes to dealing with imperial relatives, all civil officials will stand on the same side; this is called the political correctness of the civil officials' position.

All of the above are the reasons why Princess Yong was wary.

"Yu'er!"

Princess Yong thought about it and decided not to touch the Sheng family girl for the time being. After all, she was wary of the Sheng family's status, while the other party was even more afraid of Prince Yong's power.

There's no need for either side to confront the other.

"Let's just forget about this Sheng family girl!"

"But……"

"Listen to what Mother Consort says!"

Princess Yong shook her head, stopping Princess Jiacheng with a look, and said, "My mother has her reasons for saying this, and there are three reasons!"

"Ok?"

Princess Jiacheng was momentarily stunned!

Why are there so many reasons?
"Firstly, it's still unknown what kind of person the Sheng family girl is, or whether she really has an affair with the young master. There's no need to take action and cause unnecessary trouble."

Princess Yong took Princess Jiacheng's hand and said earnestly, "In this situation, there are only two possibilities."

Princess Yong raised two fingers and carefully instructed her daughter, saying, "Firstly, they do have an affair, but unless you no longer want that young master Qi, you cannot touch her!"

"Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble and creating problems for yourself!"

Princess Yong spoke sternly, explaining the reasons clearly.

"Besides, even if it really comes to that, I won't let you marry him!"

At this moment, Princess Jiacheng's face began to turn ugly, because she had understood what her mother meant.

"The other situation is also simple: they have nothing going on between them and are just friends helping each other out."

Princess Yong continued, "Then you must be even less likely to touch that girl from the Sheng family!"

"But Mother, if they really have something going on, what should I do?"

Princess Jiacheng bit her lip, still somewhat unwilling.

"Hehe, that's another point I wanted to make."

Princess Yong smiled confidently: "Actually, this is the last thing you need to worry about!"

"what?"

"Daughter, think about it, who is Qi Heng's mother?"

"Princess Pingning?"

Princess Jiacheng seemed to understand somewhat.

"Yes, it's her!" Princess Yong smiled!
However, her smile was somewhat sarcastic.

"I know best what kind of person Princess Pingning is!"

"In her eyes, everything else is meaningless; only the prosperity of the family is something ingrained in her bones, something she desires to pursue through her very blood!"

Princess Yong, who comes from a legitimate noble family, looks down on the lineage of Duke Anguo. However, Qi Heng's maternal grandfather, who is also the father of Princess Pingning, is indeed loyal to the country, so there are some things she cannot say.

However, Princess Yong gave a cold laugh!
"Therefore, she would never allow her son to marry the daughter of a fifth-rank official."

"Especially since she's an illegitimate daughter!"

Upon hearing this, the Princess of Jiacheng's eyes immediately lit up!
"That's right!"

"Young Master Qi is extremely filial, so there is absolutely no way he would disobey Princess Pingning."

"That's right, so you don't need to worry about this Sheng family girl at all!"

Princess Yong looked at Princess Jiacheng with affection, her face showing no trace of the harshness she had just displayed.

"Of course, there is another meaning to this."

"That is to say, the Sheng family wouldn't be so blind as to compete with our Prince Yong's Mansion."

Princess Yong gave her last reason.

"The matriarch of their household, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi, is a woman of strong character. She would never stoop to, nor would she allow, her granddaughter to compete for such a thing!"

Back then, Old Madam Sheng's actions were quite sensational. At the very least, the young Princess Yong had heard of them and even admired them, regarding them as her idol.

Therefore, Princess Yong was certain that the old lady of the Sheng family would never allow her granddaughter to act in this way.

Seeing the somewhat confused look in Princess Jiacheng's eyes, Princess Yong didn't want to elaborate further, only saying, "Besides, Lord Sheng Hong would never allow it!"

Once the Princess of Yong mentioned Sheng Hong, Princess Jiacheng had no further doubts.

"I've heard that Mr. Sheng is quite shrewd and principled, so..."

Princess Jiacheng didn't finish her sentence; she just smiled with her lips pursed.

Being alert indicates that Shanda employees are tactful, avoid making enemies, and have principles, which is indeed true.

However, the principle of the Grand Master was never to make things difficult for others, and thus his reputation was also widely known in the imperial court.

"hehe!"

"You!"

Princess Yong smiled upon hearing Princess Jiacheng's words.

"You're just spouting nonsense. Lord Sheng is, after all, an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you, a mere daughter, presume to judge him?"

"Yes, daughter knows she was wrong!"

Princess Jiacheng replied with a smile.

"All right!"

After laughing and scolding, Princess Yong continued, "This is simple. Once we resolve the Rong family's matter, the Sheng family will naturally know what to do!"

"So, Yu'er, you can just relax."

"Yes, mother!"

Princess Jiacheng affectionately held Princess Yong's arm and said sweetly, "Mother, I knew it! As long as you're here, I have nothing to worry about!"

"Hehe, you silly child!"

Princess Yong patted the small hand that Princess Jiacheng was holding onto with affection, but a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes!
"Daughter, don't worry!"

"Your mother will clear all obstacles from your path!"
