Xiao Yanuo stopped crying. She naturally didn't want to bring down the whole family, but she really didn't want to marry Prince Lin. "Father! I..."

"This is your fate, so just accept it."

"You have no fate with His Majesty. It is your fate to marry Prince Lin."

Xiao Yanuo continued to cry to vent her unfair fate. But things have come to this, and she has no choice but to marry Prince Lin.

Weiyang Palace

Lu Yanhua and Murong Yu did not leave the palace immediately, but went back to Weiyang Palace to sit down.

Gardenia led people to serve tea. Lu Yanhua stood for a long time. She was very thirsty. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Slow down." Murong Yu looked at him lovingly.

Murong Yi smiled and said: "After today, the draft can be put on hold."

"Will this anger those ministers?" Lu Wanxi asked.

Murong Yi held her hand and asked her to relax, "Don't worry about it. The imperial grandmother and the empress have set up such a big game, and they can't do anything for the time being. The next step is to prepare for them wedding."

Lu Wanxi is very busy now, and the Etiquette Department will be even busier. "My concubine knows."

"Promise me not to think too much."

"Ah."

Lu Yanhua said: "The Imperial Grandmother still has a way, and it can be solved with one move."

"Imperial grandmother has lived in the palace for most of her life and has never seen any tricks." Murong Yu said with a smile.

"Let's go back! It's time for Jun'er to miss us."

"Ah."

"Brother and sister-in-law, we are going back to the mansion first."

Murong Yi nodded and said, "Go."

The two of them saluted and left Weiyang Palace together.

On the way out of the palace, I heard many palace people discussing what happened in the imperial garden today.

"The Queen Mother held a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden today. The purpose was to submit a joint letter to request the marriage of the daughters and granddaughters of several ministers selected by His Majesty."

"Everyone in the palace knows how much His Majesty loves the Queen. He only has the Queen in his eyes and heart. If you really want to draft a draft, why wait until now? Once the period of national mourning is over, you can directly order the draft. But Your Majesty has always Are you dragging this matter on because you don’t want to draft?”

"Who says it's not true? You can't even see it, and you still want to send your own girl to the palace."

"The Empress Dowager's move is so beautiful! Not only did she finalize the marriages of the princes, but she also made those ministers suffer a great loss. Her own girls are already married, so it's hard to bring up the draft. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be just making a wedding dress for someone else?”

"Yes!"

When Murong Yu and Lu Yanhua heard these discussions, they did not step forward to pay attention. After listening for a while, they left directly.

"Today's incident may have spread throughout Yujing City at this moment." Murong Yu said.

Lu Yanhua smiled at him and said, "That's for sure! Your Majesty has issued several marriage decrees, and the news has already spread throughout the streets."

"How ugly do you think the faces of General Hussar and Prime Minister Zuo look now? I really want to see it."

"I think so too. But will they really give up?" Lu Yanhua is still a little worried. After all, those people are all old foxes, especially Prime Minister Zuo, who is quite old. His Majesty made several attempts to make him retire and return to his hometown, but Prime Minister Zuo still persisted and refused to step down from his position as Prime Minister Zuo.

After all, Prime Minister Zuo was an old minister and a minister of the late emperor, so Murong Yi naturally couldn't force him.

"Prime Minister Zuo has only three granddaughters, and today they were all married by the imperial grandmother. Even if he is unwilling, it will not help. Didn't you listen to what the palace official said just now? If you mention the draft again, they will be making wedding dresses for others. "

"The royal grandmother arranged for their daughter and granddaughter to be married, which also balanced the forces of all parties. After all, a single family is not a situation that the royal brother wants to see."

"Why can't they learn from General Chu? Last year General Chu took off his armor and returned to his fields, and lived a life like idle clouds and wild cranes. How wonderful it was."

Murong Yu smiled and said: "Because not everyone can truly let go of power. Once contaminated, few people can take the initiative to let go. The temptation of power often makes people lose their minds and lose their reason."

"So, General Chu is really admirable."

The General of Chu had no interest in military power. His whole life as a soldier was to protect the people of Qi. Nowadays, the world is peaceful and there is no war. I am getting older and have a lot of injuries. The first half of his life was to protect the people of Daqi, and the second half of his life he just wanted to make up for his family.

"General Chu is living a life like a fairy now, not to mention how happy he is."

"Yes!"

"Let's go! Go home."

"go home."

Murong Yu held her hand, and the two continued walking on the way out of the palace.

Cui Fu

Cui Jingwan knew what happened in the palace today, and His Majesty suddenly issued several imperial edicts to grant marriage to those noble ladies.

At this time, Cui Jingwan was chatting with Zheng Wanzhu and Luo Heqing. When she heard the news, Cui Jingwan was very excited, "This really caught those people off guard."

Zheng Wanzhu almost burst out laughing, but luckily he held it back. "As expected of the Queen Mother, this move really makes them dumb and unable to tell the story of their suffering."

"But in this case, the Queen will have to be even more jealous. The draft may be shelved, but this will be detrimental to the Queen's reputation." Luo Heqing said.

Cui Jingwan thought so. There was already a lot of discussion about this matter among the people.

"But in the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. The flower viewing banquet was ordered by the Queen Mother, and the wedding was decided by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has never done anything in this matter."

"Jing Wan is right, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are too kind to the Empress! It would be different if this flower viewing banquet was held in the name of the Empress."

Cui Jingwan recalled that on the day of the draft, the Queen Mother, who was still the queen at the time, looked at Lu Wanxi with eyes full of satisfaction. She was really satisfied with Lu Wanxi as her daughter-in-law, and she really liked this daughter-in-law, so she set up this situation with the Empress Dowager.

Tingyuxuan of Ningguogong Mansion

Everyone knew about today's incident in the Imperial Garden, but Mrs. Lu became uneasy.

"It is good for the Queen Mother to be favored, but since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has been only the Queen Mother in the harem, and the Queen Mother's reputation for jealousy has long been spread. Today's move by the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother is afraid that it will damage the Queen Mother's reputation even more. unfavorable."

Lu Hongrui and Lin also thought so. Lu Yanhua was just a princess, so others would not pay much attention to her. But Lu Wanxi is different. She is now the empress of the world and a role model for women in the world.

He Yuwei advised: "Mother, this matter may not be as bad as we think. The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother are both on the side of the Queen Mother. Wouldn't it be better for the Queen Mother if Your Majesty does not draft concubines?"

"You are wrong. Throughout history, no emperor has only had one woman in his harem. It is too difficult to break this rule. Your Majesty wants to be the first, but he and the Queen will have to face too many things in the future. When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were young, their husbands spoiled their concubines and killed their wives, and they were heartbroken by their husbands. Now His Majesty and the Empress are deeply in love, and if they want to help the Empress, they are also helping themselves back then."
