Zhao Ya nodded, "The eldest princess and Princess Shuxian treated me very well today. The eldest princess also said that she would invite me to the banquet to get to know more people in the clan. The princess also wanted me to help her.

"

"Well, you're right. If you want to go, just go. Just choose a decent one. It's not appropriate to go out too many times. If you don't refuse, just use us as an excuse to block it. After all, it's a girl to be married.

You should be more reserved."

Mrs. Zhao finally agreed, but she couldn't run out every day. The daughter-in-law had to be at ease while waiting for marriage. Once she entered the house, her mother-in-law and husband had the final say, so they didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes, granddaughter listens to grandma."

"Well, let's go. I'm tired after playing all day. Let's go and have a rest. Let's have a meal in the house later."

"yes."

Zhao Xiaoya went back to the house. After eating and washing up at night, Mrs. Zhao came over.

"Mom, why are you here? It's so windy at night, why don't you wear a cloak to block the wind?"

Zhao Ya helped her mother in, paying attention to the weakness of love, and poured her a cup of warm water, fearing that drinking tea at night would make her sleepy.

Mrs. Zhao took her daughter to lie down together and covered her with a quilt. It had been a long time since mother and daughter had slept together and talked quietly.

"Daughter, tell me the truth, do you not like your godbrother very much?"

Zhao Ya pouted and shook her head, "No, really, I don't like him."

"Then why do you look so disinterested in him and have such a cold attitude? This is not good. Your father, brother, and I are very worried about you.

You have to know that not many royal princes are patient, and he is definitely the crown prince. With your attitude, you will get off to a bad start.

The imperial edict has been issued that you must marry even if you don't want to marry. This is not only the royal decree, but also the wish of the Zhao family. The clan members need a chance to enter the court to have more opportunities to show themselves. They need someone to marry into the capital. You can

I know.

Your sister's marriage will also be held in a talent show in a few years, and she will choose a noble son from the capital. This has already been decided and cannot be changed."

Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment and continued: "You have given our family a good start. Those who are directly descended from this family can find marriages in the capital. In the future, relatives will inevitably move around, and the network will be broadened. Opportunities for men will be able to

There are more and more people, and it is difficult to be a Beijing official. Talent alone does not make you smooth.

You see, your father and your uncle have been officials in the capital for many years, but their network of contacts is still limited. There are too many people trying to grab the fat, so our family is more than a step weaker than the Yang family.

But in fact, in terms of background and ability, the Yang family is not as good as my family, and their qualifications are somewhat lower than ours, but their official positions are promoted faster than my own.

It's just for the sake of official status, but it involves the marriage of the children and their future prospects. If it weren't for the draft, you wouldn't be able to say that the son and son of a third-rank official are married. It's not a lie to say that they are well-matched.

Even though our family is a well-known family, we only have this little reputation to support our appearance, but it is of no use compared with the connections and resources in the capital. Do you think that the other party will not choose the woman's family background and ability? Marriage is not that simple, who

I don’t want to get more benefits.”

After hearing this, Zhao Ya understood in her heart, but no one had ever talked to her in such depth. Once everything was torn apart, it would be difficult to accept. There would be less beautiful expectations and more reality and coldness of equal exchange.

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Don't think what I say is unpleasant. No matter how nice you are, your father and brother are only fourth-rank officials. Why would the son of a first- and second-rank official marry you? You can't bring him more benefits.

.

Now that you have made a good start for the family, the clan is also very grateful and happy. They have promised to fully support you and will never let you down. No matter it is money or connections, they will fully support you and make you feel at ease.

That's all your parents can do for you, don't blame your father, he has more things to consider for the clan and the Zhao family."

"Look at what Mom said. Without these, my father would have been drafted even if he was in the fourth grade. It wouldn't have changed at all. Now I have reached a higher level and I don't have any resentment.

I just feel that he seems to be a little too nice, well... there is a kind of panic that I can't grasp, like a dream, and there is nothing when I wake up."

Zhao Ya understands her responsibilities and does not blame her, but she feels a little empty in her heart.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and patted her daughter, her face full of kindness, "I understand, it's just that a poor family suddenly became a landlord and didn't know what to do. They were a little scared and worried that their dreams would be shattered."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Actually, he is very kind to me and considerate enough. I know I shouldn't be so cold to him, but I just don't know how to express it. I told him today that I am willing to be honest with him."

"Well, that's good. Mom doesn't force you to love him. Take your time, but husband and wife always want to be together. As for the other things, it's up to you. I don't ask or care, and I won't ask you to take the initiative to love him.

, it depends on how you choose.

It's your ability to capture his heart, and your journey will be smoother. If you can't respect each other as guests, that's fine. Don't be resentful or jealous. Learn more from the queen, and you will be the only one to pamper the harem. Then the former concubine

Didn’t the concubine also get her care? This is the grand style."

"Yes, I listen to my mother. I will take him seriously and won't push myself too hard. In fact, he is a really nice person. He is willing to treat me attentively and his attitude is frank. Now that it has been decided, I will do my best.

Everything to do.

Even if the concubine comes in, I won't be afraid of anyone. If there is no concubine, there will be others. The empress didn't start well as I did back then. Didn't she also strive for splendor and splendor and love as a husband and wife? Why should I give up so early?

I am only fifteen years old, and I am not willing to stay in the cold palace for the rest of my life."

Seeing that her daughter had figured it out, Mrs. Zhao nodded happily, "Right? You have to take control of your own happiness. Your parents can't help you. Make some clothes and shoes for your godbrother, that's what you should do.

No need for me to remind you, you understand."

Zhao Ya blushed and buried herself in her mother's arms, acting coquettishly, "I know, I'll give you a purse today."

"Good girl, Mom will not let your tribe give up on you. Even if your tribe gives up on you, your parents, your brother and your sister-in-law will never give up on you. You are not a daughter of the Ma family, and you will not fall into that situation."

Mrs. Zhao categorically gave her daughter reassurance.

"Mom, thank you and dad for planning this for me. My daughter will not let you down. I will live my life well."

"Well, your Majesty has given you the greatest preferential treatment by allowing your concubine to enter the palace a year later. You must not be resentful. Not even the Mother of the Nation can have a say in the affairs of the court."

"Yes, I know."

"Be good, go to sleep."
