Chapter 1285: Chapter 479: Palace Schemes Pale Before Rebellion (Part 16)_2

Realizing this possibility, Emperor Yongcheng’s heart gave rise to a bit of hope.

Unconsciously, he even began to harbor some doubts about Master Feng, his most trusted strategist.

Perhaps Master Feng really was aging, or maybe the death of his wife made him no longer as wise as before.

Tsk tsk, he couldn’t even see through a woman like Empress Dowager He thoroughly; indeed, he’s no longer the famed number one strategist of the realm!

Feng Shou: ...Alright, as long as you’re happy!

Feng Shou, perhaps because he had long decided to temper the little Emperor well or was truly a bit weary, ignored the skeptical gaze Emperor Yongcheng cast upon him.

The Emperor selected the daughter from Duke Dingguo Tao Family to be the Empress!

This is absolutely the biggest news in the Capital City in recent years.

From high officials and nobles to the common people, everyone is eagerly discussing and focusing on it.

All other rumors in the streets have been suppressed.

Zheng Nianer and her family truly don’t know whether to feel disappointed or happy!

With this big news, Wang Mingqi’s drama of proposing to the Zheng Family didn’t attract much of a crowd.

Wang Mingqi took the opportunity to disappear without a trace.

Even the onlookers in the Capital City’s streets seem to have forgotten about Zheng Nianer’s past ordeals and have stopped pointing fingers at her.

A few days later, even if Zheng Nianer returns to the Capital City, she likely won’t face attacks from rumors.

In this aspect alone, Zheng Nianer and her family should be happy.

But, the Emperor is finally getting married.

And the bride is not their Nianer.

Even someone as calculating and full of schemes as Lady Hu feels a bit disappointed, let alone the honest and sincere Zheng Youliang.

An Empress!

If their daughter became the master of the Imperial Palace, their Zheng Family could be conferred as Duke Chengen.

From Earl to Duke, although it seems like just two ranks higher, in truth, it’s a significant leap for the Zheng Family’s status.

How did the Zheng Family gain their Earldom? Not only the Zheng Family but everyone knows it.

It was merely because the Zheng Family’s Matriarch was the Emperor’s wet nurse, and the Emperor rewarded the Zheng Family to give her some dignity.

Ultimately, the Zheng Family has always been slaves of the Royal Family!

They are not accepted by the truly powerful nobles, and even common folk regard the Zheng Family as a joke.

Otherwise, when Wang Mingqi previously caused trouble at the Zheng Family, the surrounding commoners wouldn’t have been so unrestrained in their ridicule and mockery.

But if the Zheng Family became Duke Chengen, things would be different.

Their Zheng Family would no longer be slaves but would become in-laws to the Royal Family.

Though it still means ”depending on women,” being a foreign relative is far better than being a slave.

Zheng Youliang is honest, but he’s not foolish; he deeply desires the Zheng Family to change its social standing and bring honor to the family!

What a pity—

”...It’s also good that His Majesty is marrying a girl from the Tao Family!”

After a brief downfall, Lady Hu, being the experienced wet nurse of the Emperor, quickly regained her spirits.

She said to her husband and children, ”The Tao Family is different from the Wang Family; they are newly rich and their daughter’s upbringing is limited.”

For instance, the one marrying the little Emperor, Tao Youwei, being the youngest daughter and the only bloodline of that aristocratic daughter lady from the Tao Family, has been pampered since childhood.

Growing up in great wealth, her living standards are even more meticulous than those of a Royal Princess.

Such spoiling made Tao Youwei not only resplendent but also indulge her in being capricious.

And the little Emperor, well, he’s also a spoiled brat.

When two self-centered people come together, neither willing to yield, their days are bound to be a mess.

As Emperor Yongcheng’s wet nurse, Lady Hu knows the Emperor best.

This child is a typical example of someone who yields to softness but not to strength.

In his eyes, a delicate white lily is far more favored than a peony or a rose.

If the well-educated aristocratic lady Wang Shijiu is like a noble peony, then the pampered general’s daughter Tao Youwei is a thorny rose.

These two, tsk tsk, are not to Emperor Yongcheng’s taste.

Lady Hu doesn’t need to see it in person; just a thought allows her to predict the chaos between Emperor Yongcheng and ”Empress Tao” after the wedding.

If the Emperor and Empress are not harmonious, then it’s an opportunity for their Nianer.

Even if she can’t become Empress, as long as the woman Emperor Yongcheng loves the most is Zheng Nianer...

In the future, if Nianer becomes the Favored Consort, she can benefit her maternal family.

If she has great fortunes and becomes the Empress Dowager, tsk tsk, the Zheng Family’s wealth could extend for three generations!

With eyes glistening, Lady Hu eloquently painted a very beautiful picture for the Zheng family up and down.
