princess regent lifted from her grave

When Chu Junyi heard this, his eyes were filled with disapproval.

"If you commit suicide by diving into the water, have you ever thought about whether your mother can withstand such a blow? If your mother gets sick again, will you feel at ease?"

"This won't work, that won't work either, so what should I do? In short, I won't marry into a high-ranking family. I don't know who taught Mr. Gao. When he saw me, he directly took me to their high-ranking family and called me She is his wife, and I have been laughed at by many ladies because of this matter."

Tang Yuxi's displeased face suddenly lit up, and she looked at Chu Junyi and said,

"Cousin, you are the prince. You ordered the Gao family to cancel the engagement. How dare they disobey!"

Chu Junyi's tone immediately took on a hint of sullenness,

"Nonsense! If I give this order, how do you want other officials to view me? Are you using your power for personal gain? Or are you using your power to oppress others? If the emperor knows this, how can he trust me? How can he trust me to hand over Xiyou County to me? Is it under my control?

Furthermore, this marriage was originally decided for you by your mother. For more than ten years, even the people in the city have known about it. How many people are watching the excitement. Do you know that if your mother breaks off the engagement, they will blame her. Your mother broke her promise and broke the engagement when she saw that Mr. Gao was mentally ill. It was really unkind. They also accused your mother of not caring about her friendship with Mr. Gao’s mother and breaking off the engagement. It was even more unjust and so unkind. The reputation of injustice is attached to the Tang family. Maybe the Tang family will be destroyed overnight.

But, on the contrary, if Gao Fu proposes to break off the engagement, they will praise Gao Fu for his benevolence and generosity. Their son is mentally retarded and knows that he should not delay your happiness. If he voluntarily gives up the engagement, everyone will only praise Gao Fu loudly. The government understands the righteousness of the action. "

Tang Yuxi nodded in understanding, thinking that what her cousin said made sense.

Chu Junyi sighed slightly. It was not clear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that his cousin was raised so innocently and ignorantly in the back house.

Even if she marries someone else in the future, can her cousin understand the dirty things going on in the back house? I'm really worried that someone else has set a trap for my cousin, but my cousin still looks confused and doesn't know where the trap is.

Tang Yuxi didn't know what came to her mind, she slapped the table and said with determination,

"Cousin Yi, I have decided. This time I will personally find a husband in the Holy Capital City, get married directly, and then take the husband back to Xiyou County."

Chu Junyi: "..."

It was in vain that he just talked about so many great principles, and my cousin didn't listen at all.

Chu Junyi sighed again and arrived at the palace tomorrow. The matter about his cousin can only be discussed later.

He has not seen the Emperor and the Empress for four years, and he wonders how the Empress is doing now. He naturally brought many rare and rare treasures to the audience this time. The empress would give birth to a dragon in the near future, so naturally he also brought many gifts to the future prince.

Tang Yuxi, who was sitting aside, had made up her mind to find a husband in person and bring him back to Xiyou County. However, she only had one request for her future husband.

That is to allow him to go to the Gaofu Palace to successfully break off the engagement without damaging the reputation of the Tang Palace.

Chu Junyi didn't know that although his cousin didn't understand the general principles, she knew how to solve the predicament at hand. She didn't know how to do it, but she could find a husband to help her solve this difficulty.

After Chu Junyi and Tang Yuxi finished their meals thoughtfully, they continued on their way.

next day

Yun Xiwan, Xia Qianling and Dongfang Xuan had been speculating for a long time after returning home yesterday, but they still couldn't figure out who wanted to take their lives.

Therefore, in order to find out the truth, the three of them went out to wander around the house again today, trying to attract the attention of the person in the dark.

However, they walked around all day and still didn't wait for the man from yesterday to appear again.

Yun Xiwan and the others did not wait for the person who would take their lives, but they waited for the palace banquet.

At this time, Chu Junyi and Tang Yuxi also arrived at the palace. After meeting the emperor and the queen, they left and waited for the palace banquet the next day.

Tang Yuxi was extremely excited when she saw such a festive palace and the bustling streets outside the palace. She had already forgotten all her troubles and concentrated on the prosperous scene in front of her. She really liked the Holy Capital City so much. It was much more lively than Xiyou County, and there were more new things. After bidding farewell to the emperor in the palace, he took Chu Junyi to accompany her to play outside the palace.

Chu Junyi, who was accompanying his cousin to play, smiled knowingly when he thought of the happiness the Queen and the Emperor were together. In his heart, he always thought that such a kind-hearted Queen should be so happy.

The 30th of the twelfth lunar month

Today, everyone walking on the road has a happy face, and friends who meet each other are also saying New Year.

Whether inside the palace or on the streets outside the palace, they are all decorated with lights and colorful lights, making it a festive scene. Everything you look at is wrapped in this festive red.

The ladies attending the palace banquet today got up early to freshen up and prepare for Shen Shi's entry into the palace.

The old ladies in each mansion earnestly taught the granddaughters who went to attend the palace banquet, and repeatedly warned them not to go beyond the rules. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be great if the granddaughters of their own mansions were chosen by any prince.

At this time, the masters in Shangguan Mansion were also busy.

Today, the old man and his wife, as well as Mu Fengyan's father, mother and two younger brothers also entered the palace to attend the palace banquet.

Shangguan Ze did not want to become an official in the court, so Ye Lijue arranged a higher-ranking position for Shangguan Ze.

No one in the civil and military officials in the court was dissatisfied with this matter, and they were all very polite to Shangguan Ze, who was a businessman.

Not only because Shangguan Ze is the empress's father, but more importantly because Shangguan Ze donated grain to the court. When the locust plague was extremely serious, everyone was in danger, fearing that the government's reserves would be insufficient and famine would occur.

However, Shangguanze not only contributed grain reserves to the disaster-stricken areas, but also grew a large amount of grain, which allowed the Holy Capital City to survive this disaster.

Although the emperor recorded such great achievements in the name of the empress,

However, it was a man who understood that everyone knew that the empress was supported by Shangguan Mansion, who was not very wealthy at that time.

Therefore, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew very well that no matter whether the credit belongs to Shangguan Ze or is recorded in the name of the Queen, it is the common people and the common people of the world who will benefit in the end.

Otherwise, the appalling locust plague will directly cause farmers to lose their harvest, people will starve to death everywhere, and the world will be in chaos. Without the large amount of food donated by the government, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What's more, during the plague that followed, not only did the Queen Concubine contribute healing prescriptions, but the Shangguan government also sent a large amount of herbal medicines free of charge, saving countless lives.

Later, the Queen Mother gave many good suggestions to the people of Li on planting matters, which won the hearts of the people.

Even though they were imperial officials, they were incapable of doing this, so they had no doubt about Shangguan Ze's official position.

Therefore, on such an important occasion tonight, if the master of Shangguan Mansion did not come, this would be a matter of doubt and suspicion.

Shangguanheng's courtyard

After Shangguan Heng and Shangguan Mo had breakfast at their father and mother's place, Shangguan Heng hurried back to his courtyard.

He has to go back quickly to choose a beautiful outfit.

He had just heard the chat between his father and his mother-in-law. This palace banquet was extremely grand, and he had to dress beautifully and not embarrass his sister.
