If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The palace banquet was held as scheduled.

This time both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves greatly, and the envoys from the Southern Dynasty did not dare to offend as boldly as they did last time, and the palace banquet finally ended successfully.

However, Fu Jinyi's appearance this time surprised many people.

It is said that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty is frail and sickly, but looking at him today, he does not seem to have a short life.

Even the queen, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After the palace banquet was over, the Queen stayed in Yongning.

"You haven't been to the palace for a long time. Don't you want to see me?" Queen Qu looked at her still young and beautiful daughter and was surprised to find that her daughter seemed to be gradually alienating herself from her.

Yongning lowered his eyes, "Yongning is just afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother."

"Is it your father who won't let you see me?" Queen Qu's expression was ferocious for a moment.

"Mother, it's not like that. I just... don't want to leave the house." In fact, she didn't want to listen to her mother's complaints every time she entered the palace.

He blamed the heavens and the earth, his father the Emperor, Concubine Yao, the Empress Dowager and the Qu family.

In short, all of the Queen Mother’s misfortunes were caused by others and had nothing to do with her.

Yongning doesn't want to fight.

My father is still in good health, so it won't be a problem for him to live another ten or twenty years.

The fifth prince may not be powerless when he grows up.

But she also saw very clearly that no matter how outstanding the fifth prince became in the future, her father would not make him the crown prince.

The Queen Mother and my grandmother must have seen it clearly, so they temporarily withdrew from Shangjing City.

It is better to bide your time and wait for the right opportunity.

But she just couldn't understand what her mother said.

"How can that be possible? You are still young and you should go out more often for social events. Do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life?" Queen Qu frowned.

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yongning asked.

Queen Qu looked Yongning up and down.

"Yongning, are you willing to lend a helping hand to your brother?"

"Mother, what do you want to do now?" Yongning's heart skipped a beat. He wondered what method his mother had come up with to deal with Concubine Yao.

After so many years, the Queen Mother still has no self-awareness. She is simply unable to deal with Concubine Yao.

Although Concubine Xian committed suicide because of the Gong family's affairs, she still felt that things were not that simple.

Most likely it is related to Concubine Yao.

Queen Qu smiled and took Yongning's hand, "Yongning, that bitch had instigated your father to have you go to Xijiang to marry a foreign prince. I definitely don't agree."

Yongning's eyes darkened as he waited for Queen Qu's more important words.

"Today, I see that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty is handsome and handsome, but..."

"Mother!" Yongning stopped Queen Qu from continuing, "My daughter is a few years older than the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty!"

Queen Qu said excitedly, "So what? It doesn't matter if you are a few years older. You are in your prime. As long as you become the Queen of the Southern Dynasty in the future, you will be able to help your brother."

“……” Yongning closed his eyes.

"Mother, have you never thought about your daughter's life?"

Queen Qu did not see the sadness in Yongning's eyes. "As long as the fifth prince becomes the new emperor in the future, you will be the eldest princess. What's wrong with that?"

"Besides, by marrying into the Southern Dynasty, you will become the Crown Princess, and in the future you will also be the Queen who is high above everyone else. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Yongning tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Mother, he is the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty. You can't marry him just because you want to."

"My daughter heard that Queen Ruan of the Southern Dynasty is strong and fierce. Will she let a widowed princess like me marry her son?"

Sometimes she really couldn't understand why her mother, who was born in the Qu family, didn't have the wisdom of the Queen Mother and her grandmother.

The best way at this time is not to fight. The more you fight, the more your father will hate you.

Queen Qu: "I have my own way."

"Then my daughter has nothing to say. Let me make the decision." Yongning was disheartened.

She suddenly felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have returned to the capital.

"My daughter left the palace first."

Queen Qu was unaware of Yongning's sadness. She was completely focused on how to get Yongning to marry into the Southern Dynasty.

Today, she saw that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty was a handsome man, young and easy to deal with. If Yongning were to marry into the royal family, the young Crown Prince would surely be able to obey her orders.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is feasible.

……

……

"Brother, are you going back to the Southern Dynasty with me?" Fu Jinyi exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yuan: "I'm sending you back."

Fu Jinyi was already pacing back and forth excitedly, "Great, when we get to Southern Dynasty, I will definitely take you shopping and eat the most delicious food."

"Lu Yuan, have you really decided?" Although Ruan Yilang was happy, he was able to control his emotions.

"I'm afraid there will be danger along the way, so the emperor allowed me to escort you to the Southern Dynasty." Lu Yuan said.

He is the commander of the Pacification Division, and if he wants to leave the capital, he definitely needs the emperor's consent.

Ruan Yilang asked in a deep voice, "You mean, you have no intention of recognizing the Empress when you return to the Southern Dynasty this time?"

"Uncle, what if I recognize you?" Lu Yuan asked in a calm voice.

Shen Sui'an said, "Uncle, the Empress and the Ruan family have recognized Lu Yuan, but what about the Southern Dynasty royal family? Your emperor...hasn't he refused to acknowledge him until now."

"Even if Lu Yuan went to the Southern Dynasty, what kind of identity would he have?"

Fu Jinyi hugged Lu Yuan's shoulders and said, "Brother, as long as you are willing, you are the eldest son of the Southern Dynasty, and you should be the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Lu Yuan patted his head.

"I'll send you to the Southern Dynasty and then I'll come back."

"Brother..." Fu Jinyi wanted Lu Yuan to stay in Southern Dynasty to accompany him.

Ruan Yilang held his hand and said, "Listen to your brother. You said you felt uncomfortable in your chest today. Go back and rest first."

"What a coincidence! I just want to go visit Sister Cheng. Jinyi, come with me to the clinic." Shen Sui'an saw that Ruan Yilang and Lu Yuan wanted to talk alone, so he took Fu Jinyi away.

Fu Jinyi was horrified, "Sister-in-law, I don't want the needle."

Shen Sui'an suppressed his laughter and said, "No acupuncture."

After watching their backs disappear at the door, Ruan Yilang asked in a low voice, "Lu Yuan, do you want to kill He Zhiyuan?"

"If he can send people to kill me, I can also kill him," said Lu Yuan.

Ruan Yilang said, "Don't act rashly. If it were easy to kill him, he would have died a hundred times already."

"He Zhiyuan is surrounded by assassins. If you act rashly, you will only fall into his trap."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"I am advising you seriously. Sister and we want to kill him more than you do," said Ruan Yilang.

"Uncle, I'm not an impulsive person." Lu Yuan said.

Ruan Yilang: "That's good. When you get to the Southern Dynasty, you can meet... the Queen."

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, "Okay."

He really wanted to kill He Zhiyuan.

In order to prevent him from continuing to murder the little prince in the future, he hoped that Fu Jinyi would ascend the throne smoothly.

Since it is difficult to kill, just kill it slowly.

But before Fu Jinyi set out to return to the Southern Dynasty, the Yong Dynasty proposed a marriage alliance.

And a princess whose husband had died was going to marry him.

Fu Jinyi: “?”

Is his marriage so cheap in the eyes of the Emperor of Yong Dynasty?
