After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 160 Princess Selection

As the end of the year approached, something unexpected happened in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

It turned out that after several failed attempts to select a concubine for Prince Heng, Concubine Wan could not find a suitable candidate for Prince Heng's concubine. After much thought, she set her sights on Xie Miaorong.

Concubine Wan originally wanted to choose a young lady from a powerful and noble family as Prince Heng's principal wife in order to improve his status in the court. However, both attempts to choose a concubine were unsuccessful and even resulted in a loss of life.

There are rumors that Prince Heng is unlucky in marriage, and with the Empress Dowager Jiang pressing her step by step, many families are taking a wait-and-see attitude. She has no choice but to come to her natal family, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Master Xie was very happy to hear this. Xie Miaorong did not refuse but her face was tense.

After all, King Heng picked two families before choosing himself. No one would be happy about this.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Huo refused directly after hearing this, and said to the palace servants mercilessly: "Go back and tell Her Majesty Wan that I have already chosen the marriage for Miaorong and Miaoyin, so Her Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."

The palace maids were driven back, and then Second Master Xie spoke up, "Mother, I wonder which marriage you are looking for for Miaorong?"

Mrs. Huo took a sip of the teacup and said calmly, "He is the only son of the Changqing Marquis's Mansion. Miaorong will be the mistress of the family if she marries him. The child is also ambitious and is now working with Ran'er in the Dali Temple."

Huo was truly planning for Xie Miaorong. Xie Miaorong was not smart enough and her temperament was not stable enough. She could not handle any complicated family relationships, let alone such a complicated environment as the royal family.

The family of Earl Yongqing was simple, and the son of Earl Yongqing was steady and motivated. In Huo's opinion, this was a perfect marriage.

Master Xie said nothing when he heard this. He went back and told Xie Miaorong the truth.

Unexpectedly, Xie Miaorong got very angry after hearing this, "Now my grandmother really has no place for me in her heart. She actually chose such a poor man for me!

The Earl of Yongqing has long been out of use and relies entirely on the protection of the government. A dignified prince is actually working as a handyman in the Dali Temple. How could I possibly marry into such a place!"

Xie Miaorong got angry and secretly prepared a carriage to go to Wanfo Temple that day.

After coming back, Xie Miaorong behaved herself and never made trouble again. However, a few days later, she sprained her ankle in the poetry club. Prince Heng happened to see her and rushed over to help her, and they ended up falling together.

Although what they did was not considered private, they had physical contact in public, so the marriage had to go through.

After hearing this, Mrs. Huo was furious at first. Yuci helped her to calm down for a long time before she calmed down. "Old Madam, your health is very important. You have to take care of yourself!"

Mrs. Huo drank a bowl of calming medicine and said with a self-deprecating smile, “It seems that I have done something thankless!

Forget it, my children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they don't like me to manage them, then I won't manage them. The future depends entirely on her own luck!"

The implication is that whether Xie Miaorong succeeds or not after marrying into the royal family will all depend on herself, and the Marquis's Mansion will not give her any help at all.

The ancestral motto of the Yongchang Marquisate is to stay away from party disputes and to be loyal to the emperor forever.

Unfortunately, Xie Miaorong didn't realize that she had completely lost Mrs. Huo's heart. She thought that as she became the Princess of Heng, the prosperity and wealth of the entire Marquisate would depend on her.

That day, Xie Miaorong came to Songhe Hall to pay her respects. Mrs. Huo looked indifferent. Xie Miaorong knew that Mrs. Huo was unhappy with her making decisions on her own, but she didn't care. She just said, "Grandma, my granddaughter's wedding is coming soon and there are still many things to prepare. Why don't you let mother come back to help her?"

Xie Miaorong was full of confidence. She was already the Princess of Heng for sure, and no one in the palace dared not give her some face.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Huo said calmly, "Mrs. Ma won't be back."

Xie Miaorong frowned in confusion, "What does grandma mean?"

"The mansion has been in trouble recently. I suspect that there is something wrong with the ancestral hall in my hometown. A few days ago, I sent your mother back to Ningcheng's hometown overnight for her to offer incense."

The implication was to imprison Ma in the old house and not allow her to return to the capital.

"Grandma! How could you do this!" Xie Miaorong suddenly stood up, her eyes full of disbelief.

She thought that she could take the opportunity to bring her mother back to the Marquis' Mansion when the tide rose, but she never expected that her grandmother would be so cruel as to send her to Ningcheng, a remote place.

"Why not? Ma is the daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. This is her duty."

Huo had already found out that Xie Miaorong had gone to the Wanfo Temple and that was the reason for this incident. It went without saying that it was Ma who instigated it.

If she can't punish Xie Miaorong, how can she not deal with Ma?

As long as she lives, Ma will never be able to return to the capital!
