Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

When a few people went out, Shen Yuqing came with a group of officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were holding the escaped man in black in their hands.

"I am here to see my fifth elder brother."

"Master Shen, please rise." Yong Qi and Shen Yuqing had met several times in the Queen's Palace, and they were considered acquaintances.

Xiao Jian also recognized this man at a glance as the man who saved Qing'er in Yuhuayuan that day. Thinking of the girl's attitude towards him, he felt a little subtle.

Shen Yuqing and Erkang Ertai nodded, and then reported to Yongqi, "Fifth Brother, these young men dare to assassinate you. I stopped them halfway and learned that they were rebels from the White Lotus Sect. "

"These traitors have been thinking about rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. When I return to the palace, I will report to my father and order an encirclement and suppression of their lair."

Yong Qi was also very angry, and even took the idea against herself.

"Little Yanzi, did you hear that? Don't dare to run around anymore. The White Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sect are all demons who kill without blinking an eye." Liu Hong warned Xiao Yanzi, for fear that she would get hurt.

"I'm not afraid. I have a brother now. My brother will protect me." Xiao Yanzi held Xiao Jian's arm and smiled happily.

Xiao Jian patted her head lovingly, "Liu Hong, little Yanzi is very clever and knows what to provoke and what not to provoke."

Liu Hong shook her head and laughed. Now that Xiao Yanzi has the support of her brother, she may not know how high the sky is.

"Fifth Brother, the minister will take the people away first. Please pay attention to safety." Shen Yuqing saw that they had something to do, so he took the people away.

After they left, the few of them found a restaurant to settle their meal problem.

The queen picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then asked with concern.

"Old Buddha, I heard that someone disturbed your dream in Cining Palace last night. I wonder if that person was caught."

She came here today to test Lafayette's thoughts. After all, there was a girl that hundreds of families wanted to marry, and Qinggege was outstanding, so the Shen family was not the only one who wanted to marry her.

"Queen, you are interested. The Aijia found that the person seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air. It was confusing. The Aijia couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality."

The Queen Mother knew that she could not hide it from the people in the palace, so in order to protect Qing'er's reputation, she also did Tai Chi with them and let them guess on their own.

"Perhaps you have worked too much and are tired." The queen understood what Lafayette meant and followed her words.

"In terms of hard work, the Ai family can't compare to you, the queen. These brothers are all older. Queen, the burden on you is much heavier."

Lafayette's eyes narrowed, and the two of them were testing each other.

The queen was overjoyed, finally leading the conversation to this point, and she just happened to use Yongqi to explore the way.

"Yes, the fifth elder brother is also nineteen years old this year, and it is time to choose his direct successor Fujin. I wonder if you have a favorite candidate in mind, Lafayette."

The Queen Mother paused as she picked up the cup, "The Ai family has been worshiping Buddha all year round and is not very familiar with the ladies in the capital. If the Queen has no choice, she can discuss it with your concubine."

"Lafayette was joking. The fifth elder brother told me not long ago that he has someone he likes. Your concubine has to serve the emperor and take care of little Princess on weekdays. It's better not to distract her with these things. .”

The queen calmly told the queen mother that Yongqi had someone she liked, and it would be useless for her concubine to come.

"Since Yongqi has someone he likes, why would the Queen choose him as his direct descendant? Is it possible that in the Queen's opinion, the girl Yongqi likes cannot take the position of his direct descendant." The Queen Mother's words simply put the Queen on fire. bake.

The queen naturally hopes that Xiao Yanzi can be the direct Fu Jin, but she has an ordinary background, and it is difficult for her to become the direct Fu Jin. Unless Lafayette strongly supports her, coupled with her own plan, she may not be able to seek that position.

"Lord Buddha, I naturally have the beauty of an adult. In my opinion, this person's character is the most important, and everything about his background is secondary."

"What the Queen said is absolutely true. Let Yongqi bring the girl to meet the Ai family. The Ai family are not man-eating tigers. If Yongqi really likes her, the Ai family will tell the emperor in person."

Lafayette just wanted to see if the queen had really changed for the better. After some testing, he was very satisfied.

The Queen and Aunt Rong looked at each other, wondering why they hadn't noticed that Lafayette was so easy to talk to before.

"Then I will thank Lafayette for Yongqi."

"Queen, do you have anything else to say to the Ai family?" Lafayette didn't believe that she would go to Cining Palace just for Yongqi.

The queen did not speak. She glanced at the maids, eunuchs and queen mother in the room and waved her hands.

"You all go down. The Ai family has a meeting with the Queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's been a long time since I've spoken to my heart."

The Queen Mother was the only one left with Aunt Gui. The Queen knew that Aunt Gui had served Lafayette all her life, so there was no harm in telling her about it.

"Lafayette, I dare to ask, do you have any plans in mind for Qinggege's marriage?"

The queen's eyes were too earnest, and the queen mother didn't know how to speak.

Aunt Gui knew her master's thoughts and took over the Queen's words, "Empress, Qinggege is staying in the boudoir. There are no arrangements. If you have any good ideas, please stay close to our Qinggege first."

The queen was overjoyed when she heard this, "I wonder what kind of prince-in-law Lafayette wants to give Qing Gege, tall, lean, with a title, or someone who leads troops to fight."

Aunt Rong stood there holding back her laughter, and her master almost gave her nephew's name.

Only then did the Queen Mother understand what she was here for today, and it turned out to be exactly what she had in mind.

"When the Ai family heard what the queen said, they really hoped that girl Qing'er would marry such a person, but they just don't know if there is such a young master in the capital."

"Old Buddha, you have really asked the right person. Do you still remember that my concubine's biological sister married into the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?"

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, the Queen wished she could exchange the Geng and Tie gifts today.

"Why don't you remember? Queen, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are just mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today, just chatting. It doesn't matter if you are wrong, the Ai family won't take it to heart."

Lafayette's words of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" narrowed the distance between the two, and the queen felt warm in her heart.

"Hey, my sister has an only son. He is nineteen this year, the same age as Yong Qi. He just came back from the front line. The child is quite successful. He has earned some military honors. Fortunately, the emperor favored him. Now he is serving as a young minister in Dali Temple. job.

When I entered the palace a few days ago, I heard that I saved Qinggege's life. Qinggege is really beautiful, just like the bright moon in the mountains, bright and clear, a graceful lady, a gentleman is very kind, and my concubine's sister asked me to come. Based on what you said, I don’t know if my nephew is so lucky. "

The queen saw that the queen mother was very happy today, so she simply stopped beating around the bush and explained her purpose directly.

The Queen Mother and Aunt Gui looked at each other calmly, looking at the Queen a little embarrassed.

"After all, the Ai family has raised Qing'er for so many years. We still have to ask her what she means. Even if the two of them haven't spoken a few words, the Ai family can't accept Qing'er as a betrothed to the wind or the rain. go out."

Seeing that Lafayette's tone was a little relaxed, the queen felt that she must be satisfied with the marriage, and the key to the problem was Qinggege.

"Lafayette, as you said, I have watched Qing'er grow up. If my family is so lucky to meet Qing, I, as my aunt, will take care of them."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt that what she said was right. Sooner or later, she would leave one day. With the Queen's protection, she could close her eyes at ease. She was worried that the Queen in this life would once again end up living in the cold palace in her previous life. .
