âYes, Xuanâerâs illness has been cured. After gaining the emperorâs favor and being named the Crown Prince, he hasnât forgotten us. Finally, we have returned to the capital.â
This family belonged to the maternal side of the eleventh princeâs mother. Of course, he is now recorded under the empress, which meant he had two maternal families.
Because itâs only a nominal record, they donât have a strong mother-son relationship. Therefore, the empress has never demanded he should treat her maternal family well.
In the future, when she becomes the empress dowager, she will take care of her own family. Therefore, she has never forced him.
Elevenâs affection for his birth mother is deep. Now, he brought her family over, and their residence has been returned to them.
This familyâs surname is Song. Old Master Song is a veteran of three dynasties but never held high office. Due to the eleventh princeâs mother, he was expelled from the capital in the emperorâs anger.
After Eleven got the emperorâs consent, they were allowed to return to the capital.
Both the elderly members of the Song family are still alive, nearing seventy.
They have three sons, and Elevenâs mother is the daughter of the eldest son.
The three sons of the Song family have numerous children, including grandchildren. The dozens of people are not conspicuous at all in their spacious residences.
Upon hearing that his maternal family had returned to the capital, Eleven immediately put down the memorials in his hands and went to the Song family with his entourage. fr eewebn ovel.com
Upon meeting, they all embraced and wept. It seems that the eleventh prince has a deep bond with them.
After the tears, they introduced themselves, and everyone took their seats in the front hall.
âGrandfather, Grandmother, although Father promised to let me bring you back, your official positions have not been restored.â
âThereâs no hurry. Itâs good enough to come back. We are all pretty old. If thereâs an opportunity, elevate your cousins, and that will be sufficient.â
âStay for now. After my wedding next year, you can try to enter the scene.
Based on your talents, I will arrange tasks for you.â
âThank you, Crown Prince.â
The Song family has several daughters of marriageable age. They all looked at the Crown Prince with admiration, and their eyes revealed different feelings.
The girls secretly tugged at their mothers and whispered.
âMother, I heard that the Crown Prince doesnât have a consort yet.â
Which mother wouldnât understand? Fortunately, they could ask him as a way of showing concern. Presumably, the Crown Prince wonât be angry.
âXuanâer, is the date set for the wedding?â
âYes, Aunt. Itâs the first day of March next year.â
âWhich familyâs girl?â âThe Duke of Blessingâs.â âWill you bring her to visit us?â
âIf thereâs time.â
âAfter marrying her, do you have to take concubines? How many are you planning to take?â
âI wonât take any. I will have only one wife in this lifetime.â
âWhat?â
The Song family was shocked. âThereâs no such rule throughout the dynasties. Which emperor or prince didnât have wives and concubines?â
âThis is my voluntary choice.â
âWhat if she cannot bear a son in the future?â âThen we will choose another heir from the branch family.â
âGood heavens, isnât this too unconventional?â
The Crown Prince, seeing their shocked expressions, didnât say much. He left some silver notes and used the excuse of busy state affairs to leave.
The Song familyâs girls stared eagerly at his departing figure, captivated.
If they could marry this man in their lifetime, what regrets would they have?
âThere must be something special about the Qiao familyâs girl to make the
Crown Prince swear to have only one wife for a lifetime.â
âExactly. We must find out more about her another day.â
Hearing the whispers of the girls, the Song family members secretly made plans.
Nobody believed that the future emperor would only marry one woman. They must find a way to fit their daughters into that position.
Outsiders can never compare to his blood family, but thereâs no rush for now. They need to settle down and establish a status in the court before anything else can be considered.
Moreover, even though they were from his maternal family, the empress was still between them. Without a solid footing, how could they compete with others?
In the palace, the old emperor and Eleven were in conversation. âHave arrangements been made for your motherâs family?â
âYes, Father.â
âWhile I understand your sentiment for your late mother, itâs better for the
Song family to stay at a distance.â
âWhy?â
At the mention of this, the emperor awkwardly coughed. To prevent his son from repeating his mistakes, he had to speak the truth.
âBack then, your mother was the woman I cherished the most. But why didnât I promote the Song family? Because⊠you understand why I drove them out of the capital, right?â
After the emperor finished speaking, Eleven broke into a cold sweat. He knew his father had no reason to lie.
âI will be more careful, Father.â
âDo not bring your fiancĂ©e to their house. Those with ill intentions wonât miss any opportunity. You are now a piece of juicy meat; everyone wants a bite.
Lingâer is a simple and kind child, lacking suspicion. Donât let her be tarnished.â âYes, Father.â
âJust remember to protect Lingâer well. Donât let her suffer any grievances. Love each other for a lifetime. Otherwise, your mother-in-law can be formidable.â
âYes, Father.â
The news of the Song familyâs arrival in the capital didnât cause much of a stir, but the empressâs family visited her after hearing about it.
It was the empressâs mother who came. âRuiâer, the eleventh prince is listed under your name. He brought his birth motherâs family here ostentatiously. What are we going to do?â
âNo worries. We should handle things as usual. They are his motherâs family, and although he is listed under my name, I cannot act narrow-minded.â
âAfter his grand wedding, when he comes with the Crown Princess, will he come to our house or go to the Song family?â
âBoth. He can go wherever he wants. When the time comes, I am the Empress
Dowager, and he should respect me.â
âThatâs true, but I still feel uneasy about it.â
âRemain calm. If he comes, welcome him; if he doesnât, donât say anything. It would make our family appear magnanimous.â
âThen Iâll listen to you.â
Time passed quickly. Over a month has flown by. Eleven had only visited the Song family twice and hadnât been there since.
When he went to the Song family, they asked about the Crown Princess. He could tolerate it the first time, but the second time was annoying.
He hadnât married yet, but they wanted Lingâer to visit them. They probably intended to assert their seniority. Fortunately, they hadnât been given official positions. Otherwise, he wondered how they would try to handle Lingâer.
His fiancee was such a good girl; he couldnât allow her to be criticized.
He used state affairs as an excuse not to visit again. The Song family was desperate. Trying to enter the palace was impossible without permission, but they knew no one in the capital.
It wasnât until September that the Song family still hadnât seen the Crown Prince. Anxious, they found out about Lucky Garden and came with the whole family.
The gatekeeper was troubled to see these people. She didnât even let them in, peering through a crack, and asked.
âWho are you? Whom do you want to see?â
âWe are the Song family, the Crown Princeâs maternal family. We want to see Princess Tianshui.â
The gatekeeper rolled her eyes. When did this family appear in the capital? Isnât the Crown Princeâs maternal family the Rong family? The gatekeeper figured it out. âWait here.â
She went in to report hurriedly, not to Lingâer but to Qiao Mai.
âMistress, the Crown Princeâs maternal family is at the main gate, saying they want to see Miss Lingâer. This servant feels they donât seem like good people. I reported to you directly.â
âAlright.â
Qiao Mai put down the book in her hand and followed the gatekeeper to the courtyard gate. When the gate opened, she opened her mouth in slight surprise. There were many people; she wondered if they were here to cause trouble.
She scrutinized the Song family. âWhat business do you have with my daughter?â
âUm, I am the Crown Princeâs great-grandfather; I am the Crown Princeâs grandfather, I amâŠâ It took a round of introductions before they finished. âNo need for introductions. Just tell me why youâre here to see my daughter.â
âWe want to see the Crown Prince but canât enter the palace. Itâs been so long, and he hasnât visited us.â
âSo, youâre here for the Crown Prince. Go back and wait. Iâll send someone to the palace to inform him.â âIn-law, wonât you invite us in?â
âI will when the Crown Prince brings you here himself..â
