After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Mrs. Liu found it difficult to speak for a while, and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"You see, you are the Princess of Zhenbei. Mrs. Dingyuan Hou still wants to give you face. If you are willing to go there for your brother, this marriage may still be possible."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but sneer. She still remembered those heart-wrenching words when Mrs. Liu scolded her for being shameless and living with Yan Mu.

Apparently Mrs. Liu also remembered it, so her face turned red after saying this.

"I'll try my best."

After saying this, Liu Yunxiang glanced at Mrs. Liu one last time, then turned and left. When she was leaving the hospital, she bumped into Mr. Liu.

"Yun Xiang..." Liu Zan looked troubled.

Liu Yunxiang saluted, guessing that he stayed here to wait for her.

"If you have something to do, Minister Liu, just tell me."

Liu Zan frowned. Maybe Liu Yunxiang's indifferent attitude made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

"Your mother told you, let's resign and go back to our hometown."

"said."

"Since the last remonstrance, although I have been reinstated, the emperor has been blaming me for my mistakes. My colleagues have also ostracized me in the court and government offices. It would be better to resign."

Liu Yunxiang could hear what Liu Zan didn't say. He was going to be dismissed sooner or later, so it would be better to resign on his own initiative, which would make it more popular.

Liu Zan was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had been mediocre for many years but had made no achievements. The court had been lenient to him.

"Everyone in my family thought that my father was so prosperous in Beijing, but in fact he was struggling. This time he resigned and returned home, not to say he returned home with honor, but he couldn't be too downcast. My father had been an honest official over the years, and the family really didn't save much, and now he has returned home. To organize a big wedding for your brother, you will almost spend all your money, so you see..." As Liu Zan said this, he lowered his head and couldn't help but rub his hands.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, saying so much, Liu Zan still wanted to go back to his hometown in glory for the sake of face.

"Is 1 taels enough?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

There is land in my hometown, so it is not a problem for the two of them to provide for themselves in old age.

Liu Zan nodded quickly, "That's enough."

"Go to Lingyun Grain Store to pick it up tomorrow. I will make an arrangement with the cashier."

"Okay, Yun Xiang, it's not in vain that my father and mother love you." Liu Zan said happily.

Liu Yunxiang didn't answer the words, glanced at Liu Zan lightly, and then walked outside.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang first asked Han Sifu, the sixth girl, out and asked her why Dingyuan Hou Mansion suddenly regretted their engagement.

"The princess must have also heard that Darong, Beijin and Xiyue are planning to form an alliance. The three countries have been in constant war before and it is difficult to trust each other, so they want to tie them together through marriage. We in Darong are going to send two princesses to get married. , and the emperor has only one unmarried tenth princess, and the other one has to be chosen from the eighth family." Han Sifu said.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "The old lady wants you to get married?"

Han Sifu nodded, "Whether you marry to Beijin or Xiyue, you need to be named a princess first. The emperors of Beijin and Xiyue are both young. If you marry, the lowest position is concubine, which will definitely bring glory to the family. Therefore, Several aristocratic families are fighting over this. My mother felt that it would be better to get married than to marry into the palace of a minister, so even though I didn't want to, she still broke off the engagement."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said: "Because of the incident involving Madam Dingyuanhou, the Emperor is ashamed of your Dingyuanhou Mansion. Your mother feels that as long as she speaks, the Emperor will definitely agree."

"Yes."

"Then what do you think?"

Han Sifu smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter what I think."

"If you are still willing to marry Yun Heng, then I can come forward."

Han Sifu sighed, "I'm afraid my mother won't sell her face like a princess."

"So you prefer to marry Yun Heng?"

Han Sifu blushed quietly, "I, Mr. Liu and I met again later, and we have the same feelings for each other. I don't admire those powerful people, I just want to be with him for the rest of my life."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I feel relieved after hearing what Miss Six said."

Mrs. Dingyuanhou is a stubborn old lady, Liu Yunxiang needs to think carefully about how to control her. She thought of Han Wei, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan. The old lady gave birth to three children for the old Marquis. The eldest uncle Han Wei, the fifth master took the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, and the sixth girl Han Sifu. The others were the old Marquis's concubines. Born.

Now that Marquis Dingyuan has passed away, the great uncle is the only one left.

It's just that this grown-up boy is engaged in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling instead of doing his job. She also heard that he owes debts everywhere, and the Marquis often sells off their land and houses in order to pay off his debts. There is nothing left of the originally quite strong family fortune.

Everyone in Shengjing knew about this, it was not a secret.

Liu Yunxiang thought of this and asked Zijin to check to see who Han Wei owed money to.

This matter cannot be rushed, she has to think carefully.

Just after sending Zijin away, Yan Mu came over and blushed when he saw her.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but think of that night, when he tormented her, she was so tired that she refused once. Unexpectedly, he tormented her so hard that she was about to get angry when a tear fell on her face.

He cried……

Liu Yunxiang asked him why he was crying. He turned over and lay down next to her angrily, wrapped himself in a quilt, and refused to talk to her.

People who appear cruel to outsiders are actually quite crybaby.

Ahem, of course it should be like this in front of her.

She was really tired at that time and was afraid that he would go crazy, so she didn't dare to ask. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding her these days. He didn't see her every day, so he didn't have the chance to ask her.

"There is a palace banquet tonight. You go change your clothes and we will enter the palace." He said without looking into Liu Yunxiang's eyes.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Palace banquet?"

If it’s not the New Year or the festival, what kind of palace banquet is there?

"Old Prince Shunping has returned to Beijing. The emperor hosted a palace banquet."

Liu Yunxiang exclaimed, "Is this old prince still alive?"

"More than ten years ago, he left Beijing for a long trip, and there was no news after that. Later, everyone thought that he might have died of old age outside. They didn't want to suddenly return to Beijing today. Everyone was really surprised."

King Shunping Qin is the younger brother of the late emperor, the uncle of the current emperor, and the uncle of Yan Mu. Liu Yunxiang has never met this old prince. The old prince never returned to Beijing in her last life. She returned in this life obviously because she changed the trajectory of history.

Liu Yunxiang changed into a pomegranate red silk chrysanthemum brocade outer garment, with a light-colored flowing fairy skirt underneath, a full set of Western Vietnamese jade headdress, and exquisite makeup.

Participating in a palace banquet is naturally more grand and gorgeous.

Liu Yunxiang got on the carriage. Yan Mu glanced at her and quickly turned his face to one side. Then she noticed that his neck was red again and his cheeks were red.

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and said, "That night..."

"To shut up!"

"why are you crying?"

Yan Mu's eyes widened, "I didn't cry!"

"I was obviously crying, tears fell down my face."

"That's sweat!"

"If it's sweat, what are you hiding under the quilt?"

"I……"

"And now, why are you blushing?"
