Chapter 788: It's better to stay at a respectful distance
After Bai Shuyu finished speaking, he calmed down and poured a cup of tea for the eldest man and his wife respectively.
Immediately, Zhuang Ruo said unintentionally: "In the past few days, my daughter has often gone to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Although she cannot see the Queen Mother, she has met Her Royal Highness several times."
When Bai Shuyu said this, he paused and looked at the eldest lady cautiously.
He added: "My daughter accidentally heard the maid serving Her Highness the Princess say that Her Highness the Princess's illness will be cured soon and her appearance will be restored as before."
The eldest lady was stunned.
"Is this true?" the eldest lady asked.
Bai Shuyu nodded and said: "I'm afraid my mother doesn't know that in the past few days, Her Royal Highness the Princess wore a curtain hat when she went out and covered herself tightly for fear of exposing any trace of skin. Now she wears a face scarf to show others.
It can be seen that the condition is improving.”
After listening to Bai Shuyu's words, the eldest lady showed a thoughtful expression.
Bai Shuyu glanced at the eldest lady, with a hint of curiosity on his face, and said jokingly: "When my daughter was in Beijing, I heard that before Her Royal Highness fell ill, she was so beautiful that few people in the world can match it..."
Bai Shuyu paused, his face became more joking, and he said with a smile: "My daughter once heard someone joke that her third brother was very talented and learned, and the only one who could match her was Princess Huaning before she fell ill."
Brother Shangsan’s heavenly appearance and extraordinary talent..."
The old man: "..."
Madam: "..."
At the same time, he thought of Princess Hua Ning's past appearance, and then thought of her own son.
The elder coughed slightly and said in a serious tone: "Don't say these words again, lest others hear and misunderstand! Your third brother is about to get engaged. If Her Royal Highness the Princess recovers, the Emperor will definitely arrange for the marriage soon..."
After hearing what the eldest man said, Bai Shuyu glanced at the eldest lady.
Immediately, she mustered up the courage to say: "Father, my daughter feels that although Miss Xia is good, she may not be a good match for the third brother. Her Royal Highness the Princess is a golden branch. If the third brother falls in love with the princess, whether it is to the Bai family or to the third brother.
My brother’s official career will be of great benefit!”
"The second uncle and the second aunt are determined to marry the fifth sister to His Highness the Third Highness. In my daughter's opinion, it is too impatient and too risky!"
When Bai Shuyu said this, he glanced at the eldest lady.
As expected, the eldest lady's face looked a little ugly.
After all, the eldest lady had just wanted her to attract Xuanyuan Jin's attention and strive to become a prince and concubine.
Bai Shuyu was determined and continued: "Even if the emperor re-registers His Highness the Third Highness as the Crown Prince, as long as His Highness does not ascend the throne for one day, something may not happen!"
"There is no need for the Bai family to take such risks. It would be better to marry Her Highness the Princess into the family."
"In this way, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, the Bai family will be relatives of the emperor and no one can shake it!"
"As for the prince, as a member of the Bai family, it's better to keep him at a distance!"
There is no rule in this dynasty that a prince-in-law is not allowed to become an official.
On the contrary, as long as the consort is talented, does not form cliques for personal gain, and does not participate in the struggle for the prince, the emperor will take care of his sisters and give his brother-in-law or brother-in-law some face and care.
Generally, girls who get married are honored guests of their parents' family, and the royal family is no exception.
After Bai Shuyu finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The eldest lady was originally dissatisfied with the Xia family's marriage and felt that it was too unfair to her son.
Although some aspects of Bai Shuyu's words made her unhappy, they also spoke to her heart.
If the son marries the princess, he will be the princess's mother-in-law.
No matter how hard the second room goes, is it possible that she can still overcome him?
"Sir, I think Yu'er is right." The eldest lady said, "If my son marries a princess, I may be crowned king or prime minister in the future!"
The son is talented and learned, and with the relationship of the princess, his official career will be smooth sailing and his future will be bright.
The elder hesitated.
At the same time, I was also moved.
"I'm afraid I don't agree." The elder said: "If we do this, our Bai family will regret their marriage, which will definitely offend the Xia family and the Su family. The Xia family has nothing to fear, but it is hard to say about the Su family. After all,
The Queen Mother and Her Highness the Third Highness value that little girl from the Su family so much..."
When the elder said this, he paused, glanced at the elder madam, and said pointedly: "What's more, what is in that little girl's hand..."
The eldest man did not say any more, but the eldest lady also understood.
The old man is referring to health pills and beauty cream.
Don’t say that men don’t love beauty!
The old man wants to be in good health, and he also wants to look good forever, so that he doesn’t get old anymore.
Especially after seeing Zhifu Xia's thick hair, the elder felt that it must be because Zhifu Xia got the health pills and beauty cream from Tangbao.
He wants it too!
Of course the eldest lady wants it too!
The husband and wife were silent for a moment.
Although Bai Shuyu didn't know about the health pills and the beauty cream, after listening to the eldest man's words and seeing the expressions of the eldest man and his wife, he understood that the sugar baby had what the eldest man and his wife wanted.
Bai Shuyu's eyes flashed and he said: "Father, mother, although the Su family and the Xia family are close to each other, no matter how close they are, they cannot be as close as their own family members."
"How do you say this?" The elder looked at his daughter and asked.
After what Bai Shuyu said just now, the elder became more and more concerned about his daughter.
Bai Shuyu said: "The Bai family has many descendants. Why don't our Bai family marry the Su family directly? Although the Su family has just refused the fourth brother to marry a daughter of the Su family, our Bai family can also marry our daughter..."
The eldest lady's eyes lit up.
"That's right! In this case, the Su family definitely has no reason not to care for their own daughter-in-law, but to help outsiders!"
The eldest man pondered and said: "The Su family is a small family and lives in the countryside. How can the daughter of the Bai family endure such hardship..."
In the Bai family, even concubines are well-fed and well-clothed.
No matter who you marry, you definitely don’t want to!
If you marry someone from another branch of the family, you're afraid that you won't be able to use your energy when the time comes.
Or, even if you get the benefits, it won't be your turn.
The eldest lady looked directly at Bai Shuyu.
There is nothing more suitable than marrying this girl to the Su family!
The eldest lady's eyes flashed.
This girl had just said that everything would be at her own discretion, but as soon as her master came in, she said that she should stay away from the prince.
Humph! I’m afraid I’ve already made up my mind!
Even though the eldest lady had such speculation in her heart, she had no choice but to follow Bai Shuyu's wishes.
"Master, I think it's better to marry Yu'er as a concubine." The eldest lady said with a faint smile: "The girl in another house is not as close as the one raised under our knees."
