Chapter 136: Prime Minister Song Teaches His Wife
Madam Song was touched, but she was aware of what needed to be understood, especially regarding the marriage of her second daughter, which currently occupied her mind the most.
In the past, she could remain calm because her daughter was still young, but now she was about to come of age, and her marriage was still not settled, which truly felt inappropriate. Moreover, with the Princes visiting today, it made her heart even more fervent.
The arrival of the Princes, did it imply that she might become the mother-in-law of a Prince?
Madam Song took a sip of tea, calmed herself, and looked at Song Zhiyuan: "Prime Minister, many Madams have inquired about Qi’er today; what exactly have you decided? And those Princes, what is their reason for coming this time?"
Song Zhiyuan set down the gift list and asked in return: "Do you think Qi’er is suitable to be a Prince Consort?"
Madam Song’s heart skipped a beat, and she did not rush to speak. Instead, she glanced cautiously at Song Zhiyuan’s expression.
"Husband, it’s not just about whether Qi’er is suitable, but that she is nearing the age of maturity." Madam Song called him husband as she always did, saying: "Qi’er is not as steady as her elder sister, yet I hope even more for her to live a noble life. Even if not a Prince, then another noble son, you should at least give me some insight, shouldn’t you? How long must this child wait?"
Song Zhiyuan rubbed his large ring and said, "I have no intention of sending Qi’er into the royal family; she is not suitable."
Upon hearing this, Madam Song’s enthusiasm suddenly felt like it was doused with a basin of ice water.
Why isn’t she suitable? How is she unsuitable?
