After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

After instructing Cheng Kui to go to the treasury to get a hundred pieces of brocade, a box of pearl hairpins and jewelry, a hundred taels of gold, and some newly made snacks and other miscellaneous items, Fu Guiyun went to Lanyue Tower with Lu Linzhi.

Cheng Kui had already arranged more than ten servants in the yard, so she didn't need to worry about that.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Cui Ying and her three servants. Fu Guiyun asked Cheng Kui to count the things that had been sent to her and help put them into the warehouse before he was ready to follow her into the house.

Cui Ying took her arm affectionately and walked a few steps. Suddenly, she looked back and saw Lu Linzhi standing there in a daze. His tall figure and handsome face made people stop and take another look.

"I'm afraid it's because Fourth Brother Lu thinks that my daughter is an unlucky person and doesn't want to let her in?" she asked aggrievedly.

"The eldest lady is worrying too much."

Lu Linzhi bowed to her and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort has something to discuss with the eldest lady. I will be waiting outside."

After saying that, he silently pulled back Cheng Kui who was about to step forward.

"Yes, yes, it's not appropriate for me and Lord Changshi to interfere in a girl's affairs."

Cheng Kui stood beside him and agreed with him, laughing.

Fu Guiyun immediately took her arm and walked inside: "I do have something to discuss with my sister."

"Since I came to your house, everything has been taken care of by my sister-in-law. There is no need for me to be shy in front of my sister."

Cui Ying responded obediently: "Sister is willing to listen to sister's teachings."

The two of them sat down in the main room. After Nanny Yu finished making tea, she stood by their side with a solemn look on her face.

Fu Guiyun said straight to the point while shaving his teacup: "I shouldn't mention other things at this time, but this matter concerns the peace of the entire Jiangzuo. I'm afraid I can only ask His Majesty for permission to hold a wedding ceremony for my sister in the name of filial piety to calm the people of the two states."

Cui Yingben was also aware of the pros and cons involved.

Logically, she should have observed a three-year mourning period for the entire family before arranging the wedding ceremony, but this change came too suddenly.

She is sixteen years old this year, which is the right age for marriage. If she observes mourning for three years, she will become an old maid who cannot get married, and it will be extremely difficult for her to revive the family.

But when she listened to the Crown Prince's wife's words, she heard something else.

I'm afraid the palace has no intention of sending her to Yundu.

She glanced at Nanny Yu with some uncertainty.

"I wonder who the Crown Princess is considering for my young lady?" Nanny Yu asked directly.

"Speaking of which, this person is also a well-known figure in Jiangzuo."

Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "It is the eldest brother of the eldest branch of the mansion."

"this......"

The master and servant looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

Nanny Yu said bluntly: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"If we hold a wedding ceremony in the name of filial piety, it will not only affect the palace, but also the reputation of the Cui family."

Yu Ma said confidently: "I also know that the eldest son of the Lu family is a virtuous man, but he is only a son of the eldest son of the eldest son's family. If he wants to forcefully marry my daughter under the pretext of filial piety, those who know will think that the eldest son is doing this for the sake of the country. Those who don't know will just think that the Liyang Palace is taking credit for itself and disregarding etiquette, which is detrimental to the friendship between the monarch and his subjects."

After hearing her excuses, Fu Guiyun understood.

As expected, Cui Ying had no intention of visiting Liyang Palace.

If she really wanted to marry into the royal palace, she could have accepted the marriage proposal and set the wedding date after the mourning period. Given the reputation of the Lu family, they would not have refused the marriage proposal.

But Yu Ma agreed to borrow the mourning money, but also mentioned the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, which showed that she was obviously aiming for the palace.

She pretended to be confused and sighed: "I am really shallow, not as thoughtful as you. I wonder what you think?"

"You are too kind, Princess."

Nanny Yu looked proud: "The Crown Prince's wife arranged this marriage. I know that she was sincerely thinking about my young lady, but my young lady is under the care of the palace, how can she bring trouble to the prince and princess? The Liyang prince has great achievements, but he also shocks the master. At this time, it is really not appropriate to let the prince be suspected because of my young lady."

Pursing her lips and smiling lightly, she simply said, "Since you want to borrow filial piety, why not borrow it as the emperor? If my young lady can enter the palace, it will be of the greatest benefit to the situation in Jiangzuo and the relationship between Prince Liyang and Emperor Dakang."

After hearing this, Fu Guiyun completely understood what they were thinking, and finally confirmed, "Does my sister mean the same thing?"

Cui Ying nodded decisively: "It's not that the eldest master is not good enough, it's just that my sister doesn't want to drag down the palace."

"My sister calls me sister, but I still want to say something more."

Fu Guiyun sighed softly: "Even if you are extremely honored and favored in the palace, if your mother's family does not have some power, your life may not be more comfortable than that of a mistress in a noble family."

She has a deep understanding of this.

Besides, Song Weizhao is still a hidden danger. When he returns to Yundu City, Fu Yuanshu is not himself, and it is hard to predict whether he can keep those concubines in the harem.

For the sake of stability in the southern border, she really wanted to keep this girl in Liyang City, even if it meant asking for the title of the Crown Prince's second wife for her.

This is much more valuable than giving it to the emperor.

After all, even she, a down-and-out noblewoman, could find a good home in Liyang City, so why should she be afraid that the aristocratic families in Dali would not be willing to be loyal to the Lu family?

With this in mind, she sincerely offered a suggestion: "Being the mistress of the Lu family's main house is indeed not as glorious and respectable as being a queen in the palace, but there is one thing, the prince and princess are always kind to others, and will definitely not let my sister suffer any grievances."

"I appreciate your kindness, sister."

Cui Ying sensed that she wanted her to stay in the Lu family, so she said bluntly, "The eldest master is over 18 years old and still unmarried. I heard that the girls you suggested for him a few days ago are from prominent families. The eldest master doesn't even like them, so why should I bother myself?"

After thinking for a while, she suddenly smiled faintly: "Besides, the current situation of my Cui family is probably something that the eldest son can do very little to help. If you are not the emperor, it will be difficult for you to be of any help."

Hearing this, Fu Guiyun stopped trying to persuade her and just said, "Since my sister has made up her mind, I will give her an idea. Maybe it will work."

After hearing this, Cui Ying showed a happy smile on her face: "Please give me your instructions, sister."

"Sister, you can personally submit a petition to His Majesty."

Fu Guiyun said in detail: "But my sister cannot mention her miserable fate in her letter, let alone the gratitude of the palace. She can only say that her father, brother and the whole family sacrificed their lives for the people of Dali. Now the tyrant emperor has not been removed, and the remaining bandits have not been eliminated. I can't bear to see the people suffer again. I am willing to ask to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, to form a Qin-Jin relationship, to win the hearts of the Dali nobles and to help Your Majesty fight the rebels. I ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage on this basis."

Cui Ying looked at Nanny Yu thoughtfully: "What if His Majesty really grants the marriage?"

"Didn't Nanny Yu just say that my father's achievements were so great that the king would be willing to grant me this marriage?"

Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "My Lu family is bound to be suspected anyway, so why not help my sister? If His Majesty knows your feelings, he is not confused. If he does not welcome you into the palace immediately, then you can only marry into the Lu family. It is not important whether the marriage is granted or not."

Nanny Yu nodded continuously as she listened: "This is a brilliant plan, Princess. As a minister of the Liyang Palace, we cannot force the emperor to do anything. But my young lady has a deep blood feud, and she has not openly forced the emperor. She just hopes that he will make a decision soon. A girl cannot afford to delay."

Fu Guiyun smiled lightly: "That's right."

"Then do as my sister says."

The master and servant immediately agreed with her idea, thanked her profusely, and sent her out of the yard. After that, Cui Ying began to carefully consider the contents of the memorial in the room.
