Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Now the princess is divorced, this is great news! After hearing this, the ministers who have legitimate sons and grandsons in their families were all restless like ants on a hot pot. They secretly thought in their hearts: "This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we can let our children marry the princess, wouldn't it be a great success and honor for the family?" So these ministers began to take action, asking around about the princess's preferences and whereabouts, and even spent a lot of money to hire people to act as matchmakers.

At the same time, Jun Moli also returned to the mansion. He walked into the study with a tired face, and then slumped in the chair. After a short rest, Jun Moli took out a letter from his arms and read it silently. This letter was sent by Hu Wan. Every word and sentence in the letter was full of her deep thoughts and deep worries for Jun Moli. Jun Moli's eyes gradually became gentle, and he gently stroked the familiar handwriting on the envelope, as if he could feel Hu Wan's mood when she wrote the letter.

At this moment, Jun Moli was filled with mixed feelings. After some time had passed since his divorce from the princess, he could marry Hu Wan as his principal wife, and the baby in her belly would be his legitimate son.

On New Year's Eve, there was only a family dinner for a few princes and concubines in the palace.

The night spread to the capital, and every household lit up the lights, creating a prosperous scene. However, apart from the palace, the bustling section was mostly in the south of the city, with singing and dancing in restaurants, the sound of drinking, the sound of women and men laughing, and the sound of stringed instruments and guzheng intertwined, which was particularly moving to listen to.

There is no curfew tonight, and the downtown area is full of stalls. In the east, there are people guessing lantern riddles, throwing pots, shooting arrows, and selling jewelry. In the west, there are restaurants selling roasted food, braised food, steamed food, fried skewers, and everything else. In the south, there are dancing Hu Ji and circus monkeys breathing fire. In the north, there is a moat, and many people go to the river to release lanterns and pray. Men and women hold lanterns and meet under the peach trees, by the Bailing Bridge, and by the moat.

The only lively place in the palace was the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The emperor and empress sat in the upper seats of the hall. The empress dowager sat on the right. The row on the right was full of concubines, and the row on the left was full of princes. Prince Zhang and Prince Xin. There was also the crown prince. He had come to Beijing from his fiefdom to report on his work.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the emperor smiled and said to the two princes: "I asked you to return to the capital this time because of the New Year and because I wanted to ask about your marriage. You are all grown up, it's time to get married."

The two princes replied in unison: "It's all up to the emperor's uncle."

The emperor nodded and said, "I have already selected two marriages for you. Both are ladies from famous families in the capital, both talented and beautiful."

Prince Zhang and Prince Xin looked at each other, both a little surprised. They didn't expect the emperor to arrange a marriage for their sons so quickly, and they didn't even know who the other party was.

At this time, the Queen said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the two princes see for themselves? If there is one that they like, it won't be too late to grant them marriage."

The emperor thought about it and felt that what the queen said made sense, so he ordered the palace maids to present the portraits of the young ladies. The princes of Zhang and Xin looked at the portraits and said nothing.

"Uncle, this woman looks really wonderful." Hua Zeyu, the prince of Zhang, looked carefully at the portrait of the woman in his hand and said to his uncle with a smile.

"Oh?" Hearing this, the uncle came forward curiously and looked at the portrait together. The woman in the painting had eyebrows as dark as distant black, eyes as clear as autumn water, lips as red as red without any makeup, and two strands of hair on her cheeks fluttering in the wind, which made her look even more gentle and charming, and I felt pity for her.

"This is Qin Xianyue, the daughter of Qin Sicun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that this girl is not only beautiful, but also talented, gentle and virtuous, and very sensible and lovely." The queen introduced softly.

"Of course I like such a beautiful woman." Hua Zeyu became even more delighted after hearing the queen's words, and he expressed his love for Qin Xinyue without any concealment.

The queen smiled slightly when she saw this, with a hint of subtle cunning in her eyes. She turned to Hua Zeyu and said, "Since Prince Zhang likes her, I will make the decision and grant you this Qin Xianyue in marriage, how about that?"

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Hua Zeyu was overjoyed and knelt down to express his gratitude. He knew that with his status and position, it was a great blessing in life to be able to marry such a beautiful and talented woman. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the portrait in his hand a few more times. Hua Zeyu was secretly happy in his heart. Such a beautiful woman would surely be able to support him and grow old together. It seemed that he had already seen the happy life of himself and Qin Xianyue in the future.
