Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

The emperor saw that the queen mother was extremely calm, which was in sharp contrast to his own anxiousness.

"Empress Huang, you love Yongqi the most, why don't you persuade him, and Xiao Yanzi, her cheerful and lively temperament is not suitable for the palace. I have worked hard for her marriage, and the Fu Heng family is the most suitable one. .”

The Queen Mother picked up the tea and tasted it slowly, "Emperor, today we are mother and son. You and the Ai family will find out whether you have already decided on Yongqi's future."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he spoke slowly, "Empress Huang, you really know things like a god."

"Whose girl do you like?" the Queen Mother asked with interest.

The emperor and the queen mother spoke frankly and did not hide their true thoughts.

"Mother Huang, do you remember the Chen family in Haining? We stayed at their house once during our southern tour."

When the Queen Mother heard that the Chen family in Haining was stunned for a moment, she almost lost her grip on the tea in her hand, causing it to overflow a little.

"Your Majesty, you are talking about the daughter of Chen Bangzhi, the elder of Chen Ge. How could I remember that Chen Bangzhi had four daughters? They seem to be called chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder which girl you chose for Yong Qi."

When the Emperor saw that the Queen Mother was still impressed, there was a hint of joy on his brows.

"Empress Huang, I chose Chen Bangzhi's fourth daughter, Zhi Hua, for Yong Qi. Chen Bangzhi said that his little daughter has been a genius since she was a child. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now she is only thirteen years old, and she has already reached a certain level in calligraphy and painting. realm.

I wrote to Chen Bangzhi and said that I wanted to bring his little daughter to the palace and find a good match for her when she is old. "

The Queen Mother was startled and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, do you mean that Zhihua is already on his way to the capital?"

The emperor nodded happily, "I and Chen Bangzhi are very attached to each other. A few days ago, we privately sent someone to Haining to pick up the child. Queen Mother, I want to ask you something. Now the queen and your concubine are pregnant." I need you to take more care of this child."

When the Queen Mother heard the Emperor's words, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She took care of her, no matter how she took care of her. The Emperor really meant it. If you don't discuss such a big matter with me, how can I have any free time now? Qing'er's marriage is too busy. Able to act according to circumstances.

"Your Majesty, you have said so. How can the Ai family disagree? It's just that we let this marriage go beforehand. After all, it is better to see than to hear. We will wait until others come to the palace.

But Yongqi is already nineteen this year. When you were his age, you had already married Empress Fucha. Yonghuang is already two years old. Could it be that you really plan to let Yongqi wait until Zhihua grows up before getting married. "

The emperor lowered his head thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. The position of the direct Fujin is reserved exclusively for Zhihua. Isn't the position of the side Fujin still vacant? I will point out a side Fujin for Yongqi."

The Queen Mother smiled and gave the Emperor a meaningful look, "Your Majesty, are you taking marriage for granted? In the final analysis, the Chen family are just literati and have no real power in their hands. If I remember correctly, the Chen family is Maybe Han Chinese.

Your Majesty, please don’t forget that the prince’s direct descendant must come from a famous family in Manchuria, and she must also be a Mongolian noblewoman. No matter how good she is, she is only a Han woman. Just because of her birth, she has no chance of being the legitimate descendant.

If you do this, what will the ministers in the DPRK think? Which minister do you think is willing to marry his daughter to Yongqi as a concubine? The Ai family advises the emperor to think twice before doing so. "

The emperor frowned, and after thinking deeply for a moment, he looked at the queen mother for help.

"Mother Huang, what do you have in mind?"

The Queen Mother stood up, patted the dust on her body, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and if you can't solve the problem, how can the Ai family solve it?"

The implication is that you should solve the trouble you caused. Who asked you to quietly invite Zhihua into the palace? Now it is easier to invite gods than to send them away.

The emperor also came to his senses and asked unconvincingly, "Does the emperor mean to let Xiao Yanzi marry Yongqi?"

"Your Majesty, the Ai family knows your concerns. You are probably worried that Yongqi will change his mind midway and betray Xiao Yanzi."

The Queen Mother smiled noncommittally. The emperor had been in a high position for a long time, so naturally he could not see the true feelings in the world. In his eyes, love did not exist at all, and even if it existed, it was only short-lived.

But I am different. I have been reborn. In my previous life, I had the same idea as the emperor, or even more so. But in the end, I got nothing, and I lost Yongqi and Qing'er.

Even if Zhihua consummated his marriage with Yongqi and gave birth to a child, he still couldn't keep him. Yongqi abandoned everything in the palace and chose to fly away with Xiao Yanzi, pursuing an idyllic life that envied only mandarin ducks and not immortals.

The emperor nodded when he heard this. He loved both children very much, but Yongqi was the elder brother and would be the prince in the future. Can he treat Xiao Yanzi from the beginning? He didn't dare to bet, because if the bet was wrong, both children would leave me, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Mother Huang, I cannot bear to let either Xiao Yanzi or Yongqi be harmed. Although I am the emperor, I am their emperor. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

The queen mother knew that the emperor loved his two children. He was the emperor in front of the ministers, and he was a father in front of Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe in the relationship between Yong Qi and Xiao Yanzi, why not test it out? If the relationship between the two of them can withstand the temptation and test, why should you beat the couple? Isn't it wonderful to be a grown-up?"

The emperor was stunned. He obviously only thought of the bad side after Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi got married.

What if the love between the two children is really as strong as gold, and one will not marry if he is not a king, and the other will not marry if he is not a minister, and he breaks them up abruptly, wouldn't he become a bad person who ruins a beautiful marriage? No, no!

"Empress Huang, what do you think? Do you have a clever idea?"

The Queen Mother coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, you have brought everyone here, why do you still use Aijia to remind you?"

The emperor seemed to realize something, and his pupils shrank, "Empress Huang, do you mean to let Chen Bangzhi's daughter be the introduction to this test?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, reached out and took the bright yellow embroidered handkerchief handed over by Aunt Gui and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to use what comes to your door in vain. If Xiao Yanzi and Yong Qi are in a strong relationship, you can just give her a marriage. As for Zhi Hua, it's easy to handle. When the time comes, you can choose a man with both talent and appearance among the Eight Banners disciples to give her. Granting a marriage is considered worthy of Chen Bangzhi.

If Yongqi's affection for Xiao Yanzi is fake and she likes Zhihua, isn't this exactly what you want? You can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it. "

The Queen Mother also wanted to see if Yongqi would be attracted to Zhihua if she stood by Xiao Yanzi in this life. It's been a long time since we last seen Zhihua. The Ai family was almost deceived by you in the last life.

The emperor was silent after hearing this, but the look on his face showed that he had made a decision.

"Empress Huang, now that Zhihua has arrived, everything will be arranged by you. As for how to test me specifically, I will go back and think about it carefully. I will go back to Yangxin Hall first."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Your Majesty, the Ai family heard that your concubine is pregnant, and will ask Aunt Gui to send her some supplements later."
