Lord Yongfu didn't expect that she had only been banned for half a year, but things would change outside.
Han Wanqing’s daughter actually became a saint!
That kid with a yellow mouth who doesn't know anything can actually be canonized as a saint?
She strongly suspected that the emperor had been fooled.
You know, the Saintess is not a false name in the Chu State, but a person with a higher status than the National Preceptor and can influence the destiny of the country!
What made her even more unbelievable was that the emperor wanted to grant her a marriage!
Inside Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Pei said: "Yongfu, tomorrow is the flower viewing banquet. Since I am choosing a husband for you, you can come over."
Lord Yongfu pinched his palms and said in his heart: "The Queen Mother, I don't want to get married yet..."
Queen Mother Pei raised her eyelids and said calmly: "If you don't get married, are you still thinking about Hong Le?"
She originally had some affection for this child, but since she learned about Yongfu's murder of Princess Yu, her affection has faded away.
Lord Yongfu's eyes flashed and he denied: "The Queen Mother, I didn't..."
Queen Mother Pei looked unhappy: "You grew up in front of the Ai family. Doesn't the Ai family still know what your temper is?"
Lord Yongfu couldn't bear it any longer and said unwillingly: "Empress Dowager, why didn't you help me and the prince in the first place?"
Her eyes turned red as she spoke, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Obviously I'm the one you grew up watching!"
Queen Mother Pei sighed and said: "Yongfu, Hongle has never been interested in you, please stop being so stubborn."
Yongfu County Lord still argued: "If it weren't for Han Wanqing, I don't believe it..."
Queen Mother Pei's face turned cold and she interrupted: "Hongle asked for Princess Yu herself. You really shouldn't blame her."
She didn't want to say more and said directly: "If you don't go to the flower viewing banquet tomorrow, the emperor will grant you a marriage based on the list submitted."
The resentment in Yongfu County Lord's eyes flashed, and he said with restraint, "Empress Dowager, I will go."
…
The next day, all the ladies who had received the post from the Queen Mother came to the palace for the banquet.
The husbands of these ladies were either princes or ministers, and they all had unmarried sons at home.
This shows the Queen Mother’s intentions.
It was said that they were just appreciating flowers, but many well-informed ladies knew in their hearts that the Queen Mother was going to choose a husband for Lord Yongfu.
When the time came, the banquet had been set up in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, and there were all kinds of fruits and vegetables, which were very rich.
There are musicians playing the piano behind the curtain, and the atmosphere is great.
At the banquet in the imperial garden, Queen Mother Pei was sitting at the top, Lord Yongfu at the bottom left, and the other ladies were seated one by one.
During the dinner, Queen Mother Pei exchanged greetings with the ladies and then got down to business.
Queen Mother Pei said with a smile: "Yongfu grew up in front of the Ai family. Now it's time for the Ai family to consider life-long matters for her."
Lord Yongfu, who was dressed up today, seemed a little shy and lowered his head.
The wives of each family also looked at Yongfu County Jun.
It stands to reason that Yongfu County Lord is the only daughter of Prince Xianfu, and she also grew up in front of the Queen Mother, so the marriage should be something that all the wives of the family want to fight for.
However, after Princess Yu's full moon banquet that day, many ladies knew about Yongfu County's murder of Princess Yu.
Although this matter was not publicized due to the royal family's face.
However, Princess Yongfu has since been demoted to the rank of princess, which shows that the emperor is still dissatisfied.
Not to mention, if the wives of various families are sincere in choosing a wife for their son, they will still value the woman's character more than her family background.
Not to mention that Yongfu County Lord has been in love with King Yu for a long time, so marrying a wife who has someone in mind will obviously cause trouble for his son.
To put it simply, Lord Yongfu was jealous of Princess Yu, so he ruthlessly attacked the princess when she was giving birth, almost causing one death and two deaths.
With such a vicious heart, the ladies who knew the inside story were frightened.
If you marry such a woman, you will probably make your family uneasy.
But no matter how much the ladies look down on Lord Yongfu, the Queen Mother still has to give him face.
At that moment, a lady praised him: "Jun Yongfu is so beautiful and beautiful. If any family can marry him back, they will be blessed."
Lord Yongfu looked shy and said, "I don't dare to praise you like this as a lady."
Secretly, she squeezed the veil tightly, feeling resentful in her heart.
snort! Lord of the county! She hates it when people call her Junjun to her face!
She originally belonged to the princess! It's all that damn Han Wanqing's fault!
Queen Mother Pei looked over and saw that Mrs. Chengen was speaking just now.
She thought for a while and then said: "The Ai family remembers that your second son is called Qingjia, right?"
Ning Qingjia seems to have some reputation, but I don't know what kind of person he is.
Mrs. Cheng'en's smile froze and she said hurriedly: "Yes. Queen Mother, if it weren't for Jia'er's engagement, I really want him to marry the county prince and go home."
It's so pitiful that she just wanted to flatter the Queen Mother by praising Lord Yongfu.
She really has no intention of marrying Lord Yongfu home!
Her son cannot afford such a vicious woman!
Queen Mother Pei's eyebrows moved but she did not answer.
Yongfu Junjun felt a thorn in her heart. She understood what he said.
Who is this Ning Qingjia? ! Mrs. Cheng'en actually dared to look down on her?
Everyone at the banquet also knew what was going on.
Just by listening to Mrs. Cheng'en's words, she knew that her family looked down upon Yongfu County Lord!
At this time, Mrs. Zhenguo broke the news and said, "When did the second young master get engaged? I didn't know."
She paused, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cheng'en, I'm afraid you're joking, right?"
The Duke of Zhenguo's wife has long been dissatisfied.
Her daughter is the second prince's concubine, but Ning Qingyan, the daughter of Duke Cheng'en, is not clear with the second prince, which is really hateful.
Mrs. Cheng'en gritted her teeth and said nervously: "I'm not joking, Jia'er is indeed engaged to his cousin."
The tone of Madam Zhenguo's wife was thought-provoking: "Cousin? That's easy to say."
Mrs. Cheng'en obviously had no intention of everlasting happiness, and Queen Mother Pei didn't want to embarrass her, so she asked, "Do the four young masters in Mrs. Wang's family have any engagements?"
Mrs. Zhen Guogong had already expected it and said: "Xuan'er has never been engaged, but he has an older brother. The younger brother can't get ahead of the elder brother, right?"
She smiled and said: "My third son Aqi is also very good. If he can marry the Lord of Yongfu County, he will be truly blessed in his previous life!"
Queen Mother Pei lowered the corners of her mouth, feeling unhappy.
The third son of the Wang family was born as a concubine and his biological mother was a maid. How could he be worthy of everlasting happiness?
Yongfu County Lord felt a wave of evil anger in his heart.
She is the daughter of Prince Fu, who was specially given the title Yongfu by the late emperor. How dare these people humiliate themselves like this? !
For a moment, no other lady spoke, and the scene was deserted, which was so embarrassing.
There were Mrs. Chengen and Mrs. Zhenguo first, and the other ladies were afraid that the Queen Mother would let their sons marry the Lord of Yongfu County!
Lord Yongfu was so angry that he almost lost his composure.
Even if she only has King Yu in her eyes, she can't help but think that everyone else is avoiding her like a snake or a scorpion!
