Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

As everyone was eagerly waiting, this grand banquet finally officially kicked off.

Jiang Chuwei walked up to the seat of honor with a smile on her face and a graceful manner. Qiu Shu held in his hand a set of exquisite and priceless headgear sent by the Kingdom of Nanning and a bow and arrow from the royal family of Xitu. He displayed them to the young men and ladies present as the prizes of the banquet.

These prizes are undoubtedly very attractive, but for everyone present, the supreme glory that comes with winning the championship is even more fascinating.

After all, if she could win first prize at this banquet today, she would not only become a well-deserved talented lady or beauty among the noble ladies in the capital, but she would also be more likely to become the object of marriage for many prominent families.

Especially for those young and beautiful women, if they are lucky enough to get the emperor's favor, the future of their family will be secured.

When the eunuch loudly announced the start of the competition, there were still many people in the audience looking around and whispering to each other.

It turned out that there had been rumors that the emperor would attend the banquet in person, but now it was already this time, and there was still no sign of the emperor.

The noble ladies were secretly anxious. No one wanted the Emperor to not arrive when they were about to perform on stage, thus missing out on the great opportunity to show off their charm in front of the Emperor.

Jiang Chuwei knew what they were thinking, but the competition couldn't wait any longer.

The ladies drew lots and went on stage in pairs.

Some of them chose to play a melodious piece of music on the piano;

Some picked up their brushes and painted a landscape painting with profound artistic conception;

Others were completely absorbed in playing Go, showing extraordinary wisdom and strategy;

Other noble ladies took up their pens and wrote beautiful and neat poems and articles.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with splendour and beauty.

At this moment, Jiang Chuwei suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the crowd—it was Yun Ni, the eldest daughter of Minister Yun!

She came slowly and bowed deeply to Jiang Chuwei.

Jiang Chuwei suddenly remembered that this Miss Yun Ni was Ye Huan's cousin.

Judging from the way she is dressed like a girl, it seems that she hasn't found the man she likes yet.

Yun Ni paid her respects to the queen and then joined the competition.

Today the sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. She dressed up carefully and came to participate in this highly anticipated competition.

In fact, she participated in the competition not simply to show her talent or compete for honors, but for a deeper reason - that is, she hoped to reassure her mother, and she wanted to find a destined person to marry her.

Her mother was worried all day long because she had not found a marriage, and she wished she could marry her off immediately.

However, Yun Ni always held on to a belief in her heart: she must find someone who loves, understands and shares the same feelings with her before she would be willing to put on her wedding dress and marry him.

Faced with such a stubborn daughter, Mrs. Yun was anxious but helpless.

It so happens that the Queen is hosting a grand banquet today, and I heard that many outstanding men will be invited to attend.

Madam Yun was secretly happy, thinking that maybe her daughter could find her ideal husband among them!

Thinking of her daughter's frequent blind dates in recent times, Mrs. Yun couldn't help but frown and look worried.

Among the six ministries, except for the Minister of War Song Hao and her husband who was the Minister of Personnel, the other ministries have undergone personnel changes.

Lord Yun has never advocated strengthening his own power through the marriage of his children. After all, with his current official position and status, there is really no need for him to attract too much attention.

Therefore, Mrs. Yun fulfilled her children's wishes regarding their marriages.

Fortunately, the family backgrounds of the loved ones that the children found on their own were mostly comparable to those of the children, and there was no situation of marrying off someone of lower status due to a huge gap in family background, as Mrs. Yun was worried about.

In this way, Mrs. Yun felt somewhat relieved.

But come to think of it, the people and things that the Yun family's children have seen since childhood have destined them to not look down on people who are too bad.

People who have not received a good family education will not be accepted by them.

I just don’t know if my daughter can really meet the destined person who makes her heart beat fast at this banquet!

You know, those who can enter the palace are either rich or noble!

As for Yun Ni, she was born with bright eyes, white teeth and a very charming appearance.

Whenever she smiled, that smile was like the warmest breeze in spring, gently blowing through people's hearts, making people feel extremely comfortable and happy.

Such an outstanding woman naturally attracted many suitable families to come and ask for her hand in marriage.

However, unexpectedly, all of these people were rejected by Yun Ni without exception.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Ni was already 20 years old and had entered the ranks of an "old maid". This made Mrs. Yun very worried!

She was worried all day, fearing that her daughter would miss out on her lifelong event.

In fact, Jiang Chuwei didn't know that when the late emperor was still alive, Jiang He had once become Madam Yun's ideal son-in-law.

At that time, Madam Yun had a wishful thinking in her mind that it would undoubtedly be a good thing if her daughter could marry an outstanding man like Jiang He.

Unfortunately, this idea was ruthlessly strangled in the cradle by Minister Yun before it could be put into practice.

It turned out that Minister Yun knew very well that once the Yun family and the General's Mansion became relatives, he would soon lose his current position as Minister.

Because the previous emperor was already wary of the General's Mansion, and then he married the Minister of Personnel.

The Jiang family simply took over the throne of Daqing.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in Mrs. Yun's heart.

She immediately put that thought back.

Now seeing that Jiang He is so young and promising with a bright future, Mrs. Yun can't help but feel a little regretful.

However, this regret only remained in a sigh when I occasionally thought of it, and in the end I didn't feel it was too regretful.

Mrs. Yun always firmly believed that the marriages between men and women in the world were determined by God and were arranged by fate.

She knew in her heart that her precious and lovely daughter, who was as delicate and lovely as a jewel in her palm, had no destiny with Jiang He.

However, she was not discouraged because she firmly believed that among this vast crowd of people, there must be another outstanding and elegant young man waiting for her beloved daughter.

Fortunately, the current emperor does not care much about the marriages among ministers in the court.

As long as all the ministers work together and wholeheartedly seek happiness and well-being for the people of Daqing and contribute to the prosperity of Daqing, then Your Majesty will naturally be happy to see that the ministers can live in harmony and be as close as a family.

In this way, not only will the court be able to present a peaceful and tranquil scene, but the entire country will also be able to become increasingly strong and maintain long-term stability through the joint efforts of everyone.
