Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Eryu didn't say much when he heard his brother's words. He had a narrow escape from death, and it was better to leave hope in his heart than despair.

At the entrance of the palace, Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and Qing'er were waiting here early, and all three of them came to see Eryu off.

Eryu saw that it was Xiao Yanzi and the others, and patted her brother on the shoulder, "Er Chun, put your sister down first, and I'll say goodbye to them."

Er Chun no longer dares to like anyone. His selfish love made him lose his mother and sister who loved him the most.

As soon as Eryu walked over, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei, Qing'er, if it's sad, don't say it. Give me a face. Today is my wedding day after all. I want to hear your opinions." My blessing.”

Several people looked at each other and felt even more guilty after hearing her words.

Qing'er took out the things she prepared and looked at her guiltily.

"Eryu, this is all the money I have saved over the years that I have been in the palace. It is fifty thousand taels of silver in total. You can take it all. It is always better to have money with you when you go there."

Eryu wanted to refuse, but Qing'er was afraid that she wouldn't want it, so he stuffed it directly into her arms.

Xiao Yanzi also put the whip he prepared into her hand, grabbed her hand, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Eryu, if someone bullies you, use this to slap him. There are barbs on it."

Eryu looked at the rough-made whip and glanced at the wounds on Xiaoyanzi's fingers. Her heart felt warm. Her life was worth it.

Ziwei took off the safety buckle from her neck and put it on Eryu's neck. Her big watery eyes were full of worries about her future.

"Eryu, this is the safety buckle my mother asked for for me back then. It was precisely because of the blessing of this safety buckle that I was able to reach the capital safely from Jinan, get to know Xiao Yanzi, and successfully recognize Huang Ama. Now I put this I entrust good fortune to you, and I hope your life will be like mine, bitter at first and then sweet."

Eryu turned around quickly to prevent them from seeing her crying. She wiped her tears with her hands and waved to a few people with her back.

"I won't talk to you anymore. It's time for me to leave. If there is a chance, I hope we can see each other again. Don't you fail to recognize me then."

Xiao Yanzi and the others kept watching her leave, seeing Eryu's figure becoming increasingly blurry.

"Hey, let's go back too." Little Yanzi tasted separation for the first time in her life, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Qing'er returned to Cining Palace. Seeing her sad face, the Queen Mother guessed that she must be feeling guilty and waved to her with a very kind smile.

"Qing'er, come to me. It's been a long time since the two of us had an intimate conversation."

Qing'er had tears in her eyes, and her voice was crying, "Lafayette."

The Queen Mother held her in her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her, "Qing'er, you must be sad for Yu Gege."

Qing'er nodded, she owed Eryu her life, "Lafayette, Qing'er feels very guilty,"

When Lafayette was young, he was used to seeing life and death, but now these are just small fights. As for Yu Gege, she has done her best to let her mother and Prince Zhan live, so she does not necessarily suffer a loss.

"Qing'er, everything is fate and cannot be controlled by others. If you want to blame, you can only blame the fate of life and God's arrangement. Even if there is no Yu Gege, there will be other Geges to marry you. You are my most caring Qing'er. I won't care. Even if I risk my life, I won’t let you get married. I still want to see my Qing’er happily married and full of children and grandchildren.”

Qing'er has a clear mind and doesn't know what Lafayette is thinking, but she can't pass the test in her heart, so she can only try her best to compensate Eryu.

"Lafayette, Qing'er gave all her savings to Eryu."

Lafayette was not very surprised. How could the children he raised not know who she was? Besides, it was only a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver. What he left to Qing'er was much more than this. Just give it to Qing'er and wait for Qing'er. On the day of their son's wedding, the Ai family wanted Qing'er's dowry to go directly from the palace gate to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, making others envious.

"Qing'er, you are just too kind. If Princess Zhan didn't attack you and Mrs. Shen, how could Yu Gege get married? Don't feel too guilty. The Ai family has already mentioned your marriage to Yu Qing to the emperor. I believe it's not true. The emperor issued a decree granting the marriage within a few days."

Qing'er blushed when she heard the news of the marriage. No one in her daughter's family had secretly wondered what her future husband would look like.

"Lafayette, I can't bear to leave you."

Seeing her blushing face, the Queen Mother must have been satisfied with Shen Yuqing, so she smiled and said.

"Qing'er, I can't bear to let you go, but girls will get married anyway. You are marrying so close. If you miss me in the future, just come directly to the palace. I have already told the emperor that you will not be notified when you enter the palace in the future. I I will always be your support, and Cining Palace is your natal family."

Qing'er was quite touched, as she could never repay Lafayette's kindness in this life.

On the third day after Eryu and his wife left, Eunuch Li sent an imperial edict to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned me and said: I have the daughter of Prince Yu, Qinggege, who is smart, smart, elegant, Shushen and quiet. She is already twenty-eight years old. In order not to waste her youth, I have specially ordered the royal family to choose a good son-in-law on her behalf. I have heard that Shen Yuqing, the legitimate son of Marquis Zhongyi, is the son of a famous minister. He is a man of both civil and military skills. He is talented and virtuous. He has been admiring Qing for a long time. He is very young and charming. I would like to make her my wife. I specially grant Shen Yuqing to be my wife. We will get married on February 2nd next year. I appreciate this!"

Eunuch Li looked at the man kneeling on the ground and greeted him with a smile, "Master Shen, congratulations, please accept the order."

Shen Yuqing felt as if he was walking in the clouds. It was only after he was pushed by his mother that he regained his consciousness. The joy on his face could not be suppressed, and his smile almost reached his ears.

"I thank the Lord for your kindness. Long live my emperor."

After seeing the emperor's imperial edict, Mrs. Shen felt relieved. She quickly stood up and stuffed the large bag of silver she had prepared into Eunuch Li's hand.

"Eunuch Li, please make a special trip. Don't be offended by my humble kindness."

Eunuch Li weighed the weight, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Mrs. Shen was so majestic, and her wrinkles were all gathered together when she smiled.

"Mrs. Shen, you are too polite, so I won't bother you. I have to go back and meet the emperor quickly."

Shen Bangrong sent Eunuch Li away, and when he came back, he saw his wife holding the imperial edict and giggling, and joked.

"Madam, you are satisfied now."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at him, "Go, go, what do you think I am satisfied with? Yu Qing married someone who is not an ordinary person, she is Qinggege. It is a great honor to marry into the Hou Mansion. I am afraid that the ancestors of the Hou Mansion are... I would laugh like crazy underground."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Shen again gave instructions to her silly son.

"Yu Qing, this marriage between Qing'er and you was hard-won. You must cherish it and never do anything to disgrace Qing'er."

When Shen Yuqing thought that Qing'er would bear his surname, and the sudden glimpse in the imperial garden that day, he lost his heart. How could he treat her badly? He promised her mother.

"Mom, there are many stars in the sky, but the moon is the only one. Qing'er will always be the only one in my son's heart. In this life, I would rather live up to Tathagata than live up to Qing."
