Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Shen Yuqing quickly admitted her mistake and looked at the queen longingly, "Aunt, I know I was wrong. Please help me. I'm afraid I'll offend her. What should I do if she doesn't want to marry me?"

The queen was pacing back and forth in the room, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, "Yes! The person who needs to untie the bell needs to tie the bell. You should quickly pack up and follow your aunt to Cining Palace to visit Lafayette."

Shen Yuqing glanced at his aunt with some embarrassment, "Aunt, I often hear my mother say that Lafayette pays great attention to rules. It's not good for me to visit her with nothing."

"You kid, you have such useless thoughts, how can your aunt let you go empty-handed?"

The queen was dumbfounded. Why did this child usually look so smart, but act so stupid at critical moments?

"Aunt Rong, take out the white jade Bodhisattva from my private treasury, and by the way, the butterfly silk brocade that the emperor gave to me last time."

"Come on, old slave, go now." Aunt Rong had been standing aside, watching her nose and heart, waiting for the queen's instructions.

Shen Yuqing scratched the back of his head shyly, "Aunt, I'm asking you to spend money."

The queen waved her hand and didn't care much about these things. Money and wealth are only external things, and the peace and happiness of the family are real.

"It's all about spending money as a family. Don't say the wrong thing when we go to Cining Palace. If Lafayette is satisfied with you today, then your marriage to Qing Gege will definitely come true."

"Lafayette, the Queen and Master Shen have come to pay their respects. They are waiting outside now."

Aunt Gui received the notice from the maid outside and quickly asked what Lafayette meant.

The Queen Mother looked at Qing'er's expression calmly and found that the child was unmoved. Adding to her curiosity about Shen Yuqing, she said, "Let the Queen come in quickly."

"I, my concubine, see the old Buddha."

"I am here to see you, Lord Buddha."

The Queen and Shen Yuqing saluted as soon as they entered the room.

Lafayette looked at Shen Yuqing for a while. He left the Royal Garden in a hurry last time, so he should think carefully about it this time. "Get up."

The Queen noticed the change in the Queen Mother's eyes and felt happy, "Mother Rong, quickly bring up the gift Yu Qing prepared."

"Old Buddha, this child came to ask my concubine specifically to find out your preferences. I know that you like Zen Buddha. Come and see if you like this white jade Bodhisattva."

After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at her nephew and motioned for him to step forward and show off.

"Lafayette, I hope you like it." Shen Yuqing was not good at words, so he simply said one sentence and then shut up.

This made the queen anxious to death. Why did this kid lose his temper at the critical moment and continue talking? The chat box was opened, and he was specifically directed to Qing Gege.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Bodhisattva, it was indeed a treasure, and waited for him to continue. But after waiting for a while, she couldn't help but froze, and raised her eyes to look at Aunt Gui. Could it be that she came today just to give gifts? ?

The queen hurriedly came to his rescue, with a look of helplessness on her face, "Old Buddha, my concubine's sister often jokes with me. At home, Yu Qing can speak well and argue cheerfully and lively, but when he is in front of outsiders, he seems to be a different person. Take a look. , you immediately became calm as soon as today arrived."

"This is good. The Ai family likes children like this." The Queen Mother also gave her face and started to compliment each other.

Seeing that the suggestion was successful, the queen turned her attention to Qing'er who was aside.

"Qing'er, I have some good materials here that were rewarded by the emperor. The colors are too bright, and I don't wear them well. You wear them just right."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong immediately presented the butterfly silk brocade. When the Queen Mother saw it, she took a breath. The Queen had really spent a lot of money to give away such a precious thing.

She remembered that this butterfly silk brocade was a tribute from Persia one year, and there was only one piece of it. The queen was the only one who received the reward in the palace. She heard that wearing this silk brocade can attract butterflies, just like the fragrant concubine.

"Qing'er, why don't you thank the Queen for the reward?" Seeing that it was a good thing, the Queen Mother motioned to Qing'er to accept it and use it as a dowry in the future, so it would be honorable to share it.

Qing'er looked at the beautiful silk with a hint of amazement in her eyes. Every girl doesn't like beautiful clothes. "Qing'er, thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen was also very happy to see Qing'er's generous gesture.

"Qing'er, if you are usually bored, you can go to Shufangzhai and chat with the two girls."

Qing'er was a little moved. She glanced at Lafayette secretly, fearing that Lafayette would disapprove.

The Queen Mother saw the look in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, "Qing'er, you can go if you want."

Qing'er lowered her head to hide the excitement in her eyes. When she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Yuqing's peach blossom eyes staring at her, and her face suddenly turned red.

The Queen Mother noticed the changes in the two of them and deliberately pushed Qing'er away, "Qing'er, go to Shufangzhai and call the two princesses over. Tell them that the Ai family has something to do with them."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Qing'er thought that she could go to Shufangzhai, and her tone was a little happy.

When passing by Shen Yuqing, she found that her heart was beating fast, her head was still a little dizzy, her body was limp, and she was worried that she was sick.

When I go to Shufangzhai and ask Xiao Yanzi and the others, they are well-informed and should be able to know what the situation is.

After the others left, the Queen Mother and Aunt Gui looked at each other and said, "Master Shen, what do you think of the Ai family's Qinggege?"

Shen Yuqing's heart tightened, knowing that Lafayette was testing him, and Qing'er's smart face flashed in his mind.

"Qingge is gentle and virtuous, behaves generously, is smart, elegant and noble..."

When the Queen Mother heard that there was something she didn't understand, she was afraid that this kid had already been eyeing her Qing'er, so she interrupted him.

"Okay, okay, the Ai family now knows what kind of person Qing'er is in your heart."

The queen was very satisfied with Lafayette and felt much more at ease. She quickly promoted her nephew, "Lafayette, this kid is honest and can't tell lies."

"Your name is Yu Qing, right? It's a good name, and the Ai family likes it." Lafayette also felt that the two of them were a good match, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

"It's an honor for me to be liked by Lafayette." Shen Yuqing quickly kowtowed in thanks.

"Yu Qing, the Ai family remembers that you served as the young minister of Dali Temple. We are really destined. The father of the Ai family was also the young minister of the Dali Temple. I wonder what you like to do in your free time." The Queen Mother smiled kindly.

"Back at Lafayette, I usually play chess, go out for drinks with friends, etc. But don't worry, I never go to a place like that with fireworks."

Shen Yuqing didn't realize what the Queen Mother meant until the end. She was afraid that she would mess up, so she quickly clarified it with her.

The Queen Mother laughed out loud when she heard this, "Queen, your nephew is indeed sincere. Aunt Gui brought over the set of purple jade chessboards. Since Mr. Shen likes to play chess, the Ai family will reward you."

Shen Yuqing was holding a chessboard polished with purple jade in his hand, with a dull expression. Did Lafayette agree to his marriage to Qing'er?
