Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Zheng Yao sighed helplessly, "Dad, my daughter doesn't want to get married."

Duke Zheng's face darkened. "This is not your call. This is the emperor's order."

Zheng Yao bit her lip and wanted to argue again.

Mrs. Zheng stopped her, "Yao'er, listen to your father and stay at home and wait for your marriage!"

Zheng Yao was not convinced. Her dream lover was a humble gentleman and she had never thought of marrying a military man.

I don’t know if Jiang He is a person with a bad temper.

Zheng Yao regretted at this moment that she had not asked her mother to help her find a husband earlier. It was also because of her own willfulness that she always wanted to find a perfect husband.

Her mother loved her and was willing to keep her at home for a few more years.

Now she is forced to marry into the general's family.

She knew she couldn't disobey the emperor's order, but she was unwilling to do so and she couldn't accept it.

She locked herself in the house and cried.

Tomorrow, she will go to the palace and ask the Imperial Concubine to find a way to persuade the Emperor to revoke his decision.

If all else fails, let my sister ask Prince Jin for help. Prince Jin should have a chance of success if he asks the Emperor for help.

Mrs. Zheng felt very distressed when she saw her daughter crying.

"Mother will meet with the general's wife tomorrow. How about you and Mr. Jiang meet from a distance?"

"My daughter, please don't see him. I heard that he used to hang out in brothels. I don't like people like him."

Zheng Yao cried even more sadly.

Mrs. Zheng was at a loss.

She doted on this daughter too much, and she didn't want to get married early, so she agreed. But she never expected that the emperor would grant the marriage without saying a word.

'The second son of the Jiang family is handsome...' Madam Zheng tried to persuade her daughter that she was satisfied with this marriage.

Mrs. Jiang is famous for her kindness.

My daughter is a little willful.

"Daughter, do you think appearance is important to you? If he is good-looking, he can attract many men outside." Zheng Yao said unhappily.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't convince her daughter, so she ordered the maids and the nanny to keep a good eye on her daughter and not let her leave the house.

If this incident gets out, the Duke Zheng's Mansion won't be able to afford the blame from the Emperor.

Today, the Duke Zheng's Mansion is booming.

Even Duke Zheng couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

During this period of time, the imperial concubine was under house arrest, Duke Zheng was reprimanded, and Prince Jin had no work to do.

The Emperor obviously values ​​Prince Yu more, but by tying the Duke Zheng's Mansion to the General's Mansion, is the Emperor trying to put the General's Mansion in a dilemma?

The General's Mansion is already in the game.

When the news reached the imperial concubine, she rarely smiled.

"The emperor still has Shen'er in his heart." The nanny immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty! The eldest lady and the young lady have come in with their names handed in." The palace maid came in to report.

"It seems that my sister-in-law is here to express her gratitude," Concubine Zheng said happily, "Please invite them in."

"My concubine greets the Imperial Concubine." The eldest lady and her daughter bowed to Imperial Concubine Zheng.

"Get up quickly, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite." Concubine Zheng said to them with a smile.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine." The First Lady stood up and said, "I came here specially to thank you, Imperial Concubine."

"Thank me?" Concubine Zheng asked doubtfully.

"If it weren't for the queen, how could Yao'er have such a good marriage." The eldest lady said with a smile, and pushed her daughter beside her.

Zheng Yao lowered her head to hide the bitterness in her eyes.

Concubine Zheng understood the purpose of the lady's visit and said with a smile: "This is also Yao'er's blessing. The second young master Jiang is a handsome man and will definitely achieve something in the future."

It turned out that the sister-in-law thought it was her who persuaded her.

She doesn't have that ability. Her sister-in-law overestimates her.

But she won't say this out loud, so just assume that she did it.

"Yao'er has grown up and will get married soon. Aunt Liu, give my jade headpiece to Yao'er."

"Yes, Madam!" Aunt Liu's voice became much lighter.

If good things like this happen more often, the imperial concubine will be in a much better mood.

The nanny brought the headgear, Zheng Yao took it and thanked Concubine Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that she might say something disrespectful.

Madam Zheng has something to say to Concubine Zheng.

It's all about getting married.

Zheng Yao didn't want to listen.

She went to the palace today to ask the Imperial Concubine to help the Emperor withdraw his order.

Her father warned her not to talk nonsense, saying that the emperor's will would not change overnight, and that doing so would only harm the empress.

After hearing this, Zheng Yao suppressed the urge to ask for help.

Harming the imperial concubine was not the outcome she wanted to see, she couldn't be too selfish.

But she didn't want to hear how her mother arranged the marriage, so she reported to the imperial concubine, "Aunt! I'm going to the imperial garden to appreciate the flowers."

The Imperial Garden is full of flowers in full bloom all year round, and it is difficult to see so many flowers outside.

Concubine Zheng thought she was just shy and immediately ordered the palace maid to take her around.

Zheng Yao walked along the palace road bored.

Before we knew it, we arrived at the Imperial Garden.

The colorful flowers dispelled much of the gloom in her heart.

While admiring the flowers, Zheng Yao suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter.

She looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity, and saw a beautiful woman sitting in a pavilion not far away, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking radiant.

The palace maids around her surrounded her like stars surrounding the moon.

Zheng Yao recognized the woman; she was the emperor's new favorite, Concubine Mei.

Zheng Yao immediately turned around and left.

She couldn't afford to offend a noble in the palace.

My father warned everyone in the clan to act with caution.

No one can save you if you commit a crime.

Concubine Mei noticed Zheng Yao, smiled and waved to her, motioning her to come over.

Zheng Yao hesitated a little, but still walked forward and bowed. Mei Fei said, "What a pretty girl. She looks even more charming in this imperial garden."

Zheng Yao smiled slightly, but she was a little confused, wondering why Concubine Mei was so enthusiastic.

Mei Fei looked at Zheng Yao and said, "I wonder which family the young lady is from and why I have never seen her before?"

Zheng Yao saw the displeasure in Concubine Mei's eyes, and her mind was constantly thinking about how to get out of this situation.

I heard that the imperial concubine and aunt had suffered a lot at her hands.

"Your Majesty, I am the niece of Concubine Zheng." Zheng Yao lowered her head and answered softly.

Mei Fei's eyes turned cold, but she soon smiled again, "So you are Concubine Zheng's niece. Lift your head and let me see you."

Zheng Yao had no choice but to look up at Concubine Mei.

"You are indeed a beautiful girl." Concubine Mei looked Zheng Yao up and down, "I have never seen a woman as fresh and refined as you in this palace."

Zheng Yao was shocked and didn't understand what Concubine Mei meant.

Is he blaming her for coming to the Imperial Garden?

Zheng Yao bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty! I will not disturb you from admiring the flowers. I will take my leave!"

"Do you think I will eat you? Today we have the chance, so please walk with me!" After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Zheng Yao had to keep up.
