Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

This war song was played by Yu's daughter Chen Shu when the late emperor was fighting on the battlefield and was trapped.

In that battle, defeat turned into victory.

When Xie Qingyao was at an absolute disadvantage in his previous life, Xu Mingyue watched the man sit alone on the city wall and bounce past.

In that battle, defeat turned into victory.

All the ladies in the house looked at Xu Mingyue because of Yu's question.

In fact, Yu's question was extremely difficult to answer, and even seemed to be vaguely embarrassing.

After all, it is not necessarily auspicious to play the war music of the battlefield at the birthday banquet.

But everyone here is not stupid. A person of Yu's status will praise others in public, but he will definitely not embarrass a junior in public.

Xu Mingyue thought for a moment and spoke slowly in a gentle voice:

"Although Mingyue has never been on the battlefield, she was held in my father's arms when she was a child and heard about the high-spirited and majestic frontiers. In the letters sent by my younger brother to Yaowang Valley, I saw my great Yuerlang's bravery in guarding the frontiers."

"These sons and daughters are fighting on the battlefield, trying to protect not only the territory of my Dayu Dynasty, but also their parents, wives and children at home."

"So Mingyue wants to use the birthday banquet of our ancestors today to show those soldiers who fought for the country that under their protection, their parents, wives and children live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life."

"Ming Yue also wants those soldiers at the border to be blessed by the ancestors' birthday banquet and bless them all to return safely."

Everyone was waiting for Xu Mingyue to compare the hardships of the soldiers at the border with the extravagance of today's birthday banquet, and then let Xu Mingyue say some upright but most inappropriate words.

But Xu Mingyue didn't. She described the ancestor of the Zhao family as a Bodhisattva-like figure in just a few words, which made the ancestor of the Zhao family have tears in his eyes, and his face was really filled with the look of a Bodhisattva's love.

Mrs. Yu naturally knew that Xu Mingyue was a smart girl, but she never expected that she could answer so well. She immediately took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xu Mingyue's hand herself.

"I didn't prepare these gifts today. These were worn by my girl when she was alive. Don't dislike them."

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to express his sorrow. Yu has been wearing this bracelet every day for these years to ease the feeling of missing her daughter.

Today, she took the place of Chen Shu's mother and gave this meeting gift to Xie Qingyao's sweetheart.

Chen Shu must be happy.

Xu Mingyue's eyes turned red just after hearing the words 'my girl', and she knelt on the ground to receive the jade bracelet.

Xie Qingyao's aunt was once a woman trained by the Chen family in Lu County according to the family head system. She was once the most dazzling pearl of the Dayu Dynasty.

But she was ultimately destroyed in the struggle for imperial power.

Looking back today, Xu Mingyue figured out why the Chen family in Lu County did not want to be related to the royal family.

The place where the power is at its peak is where the beauty is buried.

Helping Xu Mingyue to stand up, Yu's personal nanny respectfully bent down and said in Yu's ear:

"The master is waiting for you outside the house. He said he has written a new poem and is waiting for you to comment on it."

"Thank you for your hospitality today, sister."

Mrs. Yu turned around and nodded to Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Ying to say goodbye, without mentioning a word about the future.

Obviously, the prime minister's residence is not qualified to be condescended to by the Chen family of Lu County in the future.

There were quite a few people in this room, and some people immediately understood that Yu had gone specifically for Xu Mingyue today.

Although she didn't explicitly say who the leader was in her eyes, the jade bracelet she personally presented to him had already explained everything.

But on the day that Xu Jian and Lin Yan got married, the Chen family from Lu County only sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts. From the perspective of Lin Yan's relationship alone, it was impossible for the Yu family to come to such a banquet in person.

With infinite doubts, everyone in the room turned their attention to the lacquered red tray, waiting for Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Ying's final decision.

In fact, no matter what the final result is, Xu Mingyue, who got Mrs. Zhao's promise, promoted her talent and reputation, and won the Yu's jade bracelet, is already the biggest winner today.

To Xu Mingyue, whether she wanted or not wanted that plate of gold and jade was not that important.

Zhao Ying set her sights on Lin Yan, hoping that Lin Yan would take the initiative to push the lottery away so that Zhao Muyun could win the lottery. This would be the best of both worlds.

But Lin Yan kept eating snacks with his head lowered, and had no intention of giving this piece of cake to others just to show his generosity.

Lin Yan felt that Zhao Ying became more and more funny after sitting in the position of queen for a long time.

Her Yaoyao's talent is so good, so naturally this jackpot should be regarded as her Yaoyao's.

No matter how rich she is in the Duke's Mansion, Xu Mingyue will never give it to others in the name of generosity.

Zhao Ying withdrew her gaze and patted her ancestor's hand with a smile: "Today's consultation allowed me to see the beauty of my Dayu woman."

"And this advantage must come between Mu Yun and Mingyue. From a purely technical point of view, Mu Yun must win."

"But in terms of a woman's mind and character, Mingyue is indeed better."

"Today is the eightieth birthday of our ancestor. Mu Yun is the master, so I decided to give this lottery to Mingyue."

This was said as if Zhao Muyun had given up the lottery to Xu Mingyue, but Xu Mingyue didn't care at all about Zhao Ying's method of saving Zhao Muyun's respect.

Instead, Luoluo Dafang stood up from her seat and expressed her gratitude to Zhao Ying with the grace of a noble lady: "My dear, thank you, the Queen, for your grace."

Looking at Xu Mingyue's quite knowledgeable style, Zhao Ying nodded slightly, with satisfaction in her eyes.

Then, Zhao Ying took off the eight-treasure silk golden phoenix hairpin with beads from her head and put it in Zhao Muyun's hand personally:

"This phoenix hairpin can only be worn by me, the mother of the country. You can do so well at such a young age, and you are worthy of the upbringing of your ancestors."

Zhao Muyun forced the corner of his mouth to thank Zhao Ying: "Thank you, Queen."

"The fifteenth day of this month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will host a banquet in the palace to invite the noble young ladies of this capital to go boating on the river and have fun. Your invitations will be sent to you in the next two days."

Zhao Ying sent out this invitation in front of everyone, just to silence this group of people.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, they could neither discuss that Zhao Muyun brought all the noble ladies in the capital to embarrass Xu Mingyue, nor could they discuss that Xu Mingyue had manipulated people's hearts and turned defeat into victory and won a lot of glory.

Zhao Ying's heart was naturally biased towards Zhao Muyun, her niece, but Xu Mingyue did not allow others to slander her at will.

Because these two women are bound to be inextricably linked with Zhao Ying's two sons.

For the sake of royal dignity, she had to do this.

"My wife, I thank you, the Queen, for your grace."

All the women and children in the audience knelt down and thanked her sincerely.

The Mid-Autumn Festival's lakeside banquet was attended by relatives of the emperor and courtiers above the second rank. Many of the people in this household were not qualified to enter the palace to attend such banquets.

After receiving this kind of grace and entering the palace this time, the women in the family may be able to get a good marriage.
