There were three women standing in front of the wheelchair. The one in front had a beautiful face. She was walking faster just now and almost bumped into her. Fortunately, both of them reacted quickly and did not actually bump into each other. Even so, the woman turned pale with fright.
However, she was also quick to respond. She came forward and bowed to Feng Yu gracefully: "Meet the Prince of Qi."
Feng Yu waved his hand, signaling Huaibao to continue pushing.
"Prince Qi, I have something to ask of you. Is it okay?" Zhang Wanyin asked softly, her voice gentle.
"Don't say anything if you think it's inappropriate." Feng Yu glanced at her sideways and said.
"The Queen Mother is old and cannot be angry. Your Majesty, please be considerate of the Queen Mother." Zhang Wanyin choked for a moment, but still said softly.
"Princess Mingqing, are you warning me?" Feng Yu asked lazily, the corners of his handsome lips raised, showing a sense of nonchalance.
"I don't dare. I just hope that Prince Qi will not make the Queen Mother angry. If there is anything I can't say, please forgive me."
Zhang Wanyin saluted Feng Yu again, then stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Princess Mingqing is really the most lovable person around the imperial grandmother. It's just a pity that Princess Mingqing is about to marry her eldest cousin. Will she be so considerate then?" Feng Yu said lightly, tilting his head.
After looking at Zhang Wanyin, her face darkened.
"Prince Qi, the body of the Queen Mother is the most important." Zhang Wanyin lowered her head and said. She could feel Feng Yu's eyes falling on her, doubling the pressure.
"Do you think this prince has made the emperor's grandmother angry?" Feng Yu chuckled, his voice full of unscrupulousness, and the nearby palace servants all lowered their heads nervously.
"I don't dare, I just feel that the Queen Mother likes the Crown Prince very much." Zhang Wanyin bit her lip, glanced at him quickly, and suddenly knelt down as if she had made up her mind, "Prince, the Queen Mother is old, if you
If you have something to do, please say it tactfully, and the Queen Mother will definitely agree to it."
"Ha... I'm really not afraid of death!" Feng Yu lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Wanyin who was kneeling on the ground, "Princess Mingqing, has anyone told you that there are some things that are not allowed to be said."
"Your Majesty, I...I'm just worried about the Queen Mother..." Zhang Wanyin became panicked and said in fear.
"Princess Mingqing, I don't care if you come here and say these things to please the imperial grandmother, but don't look for me next time. After all, I am not always in such a good mood. If you stop me in front of me next time,
, I may feel sorry for my cousin."
Feng Yu looked at Zhang Wanyin with a half-smile.
A nun hurriedly walked out of the palace and bowed in front of Feng Yu: "Prince Qi, the Queen Mother has asked you to let Princess Mingqing enter the palace."
The Queen Mother heard the sound at the door and sent her nanny out to pick up Zhang Wanyin.
Feng Yu stopped talking, waved his hand, and Huaibao pushed the wheelchair out.
Mammy hurriedly came over and helped Zhang Wanyin up: "Princess Mingqing, the Queen Mother invites you to come in."
Zhang Wanyin responded and looked back at Feng Yu's back. She had never seen such a person before. What man would say such things to a woman he had only met a few times?
She was raised in the palace for a period of time. There were many people in the palace who wanted to fight each other to the death, but they still called her "sister" and "sister" affectionately on their faces.
There's no way he could come up and say something like that, and he's still a man.
Women are extremely soft, and softness can overcome steel...
"Princess Mingqing?" Nanny reminded her when she saw that she didn't move.
"Thank you, grandma." Zhang Wanyin calmed down and led the people inside.
"I've met the Queen Mother." He walked inside, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and said softly.
"You kid." The Queen Mother already knew what happened at the door and said gently, "Get up!"
The Queen Mother was more optimistic about Zhang Wanyin than Yu Xijiao, and Zhang Wanyin lived up to her expectations. Even though the two were not destined to be together, she still dared to go forward and persuade her. If she had asked the Queen to grant the marriage slowly, maybe it would be possible.
Leave Zhang Wanyin by Feng Yu's side to persuade him.
"Empress Dowager, have you offended Prince Qi just now?" Zhang Wanyin's voice trembled slightly, and her face was as pale as snow, showing that she was really frightened.
"Good boy, it's okay. Yu'er just has a bad temper, but he is quite obedient." The Queen Mother gently comforted her.
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Zhang Wanyin said tremblingly, her smile looked a little uneasy, but she could still follow the Queen Mother's wishes.
The Queen Mother became more and more satisfied.
It is better to watch the girl grow up by herself, but it is a pity that she will marry Prince Duan and become his concubine.
Zhang Wanyin came here specially to deliver medicated meals to the Queen Mother. She took the medicated meals from the maid behind her, brought it to the table in front of the Queen Mother, and advised her softly: "Empress Dowager, your health is not good, don't be too angry, what's the matter?
Let’s talk about things slowly, your body should be the priority in everything.”
"The Ai family knows about this child. In fact, it's not something to be angry about. It's just that the Ai family thinks too much about this child Yu'er..." The Queen Mother sighed and did not continue.
"The Queen Mother, Prince Qi's son is still young. If you tell him more, he will understand. But you can't get too angry. Your health is not good." Zhang Wanyin respectfully brought a bowl of medicinal food to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took it and took a sip. It tasted just right, with a smile on her face: "Wanyin, you don't have to go there in person, just let the kitchen prepare it carefully. You are the princess of Mingqing, how can you keep doing this kind of thing.
"
"The Empress Dowager is extremely kind to Wanyin. Without the Empress Dowager, how would Wanyin be today? Wanyin only hopes that the Empress Dowager will always be healthy, and nothing else matters. If possible, Wanyin would rather live in ancient times.
Buddha, pray for the Queen Mother from now on."
Zhang Wanyin knelt down and said softly.
After only saying a few words, tears welled up in her eyelashes: "When I left last time, Wanyin was still young and didn't know how to cook medicinal food. Now that Wanyin is older, she really wants to fulfill her filial piety to the Queen Mother."
Looking at Zhang Wanyin, the Queen Mother sighed again, put down the medicine in her hand, and said: "Get up and talk first! What nonsense are you talking about? Your marriage to Prince Duan has been decided, and you will be Princess Duan from now on. Is it possible that you still can't fulfill your filial piety?"
Can’t do it?”
Zhang Wanyin did not refuse. She stood up and turned her head to the side to secretly wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Then she turned around with a full smile and a slightly red face: "Wanyin wants to honor the Queen Mother."
Looking at the gentle and jade-like Zhang Wanyin, the Queen Mother sighed again.
Zhang Wanyin had a conversation with the Queen Mother, and after seeing that it was almost time, she resigned.
Seeing Zhang Wanyin leave, the Queen Mother couldn't help but regret. How much trouble would Zhang Wanyin save herself if she became the Crown Princess of Qi?
But there was no way, given her grandson's temper and the Queen Mother's unwillingness to wrong him, she could only send someone to invite the emperor.
After hearing the Empress Dowager's call, the Emperor came with people. The mother and son sat down in the main hall. The Empress Dowager told the Emperor what Feng Yu meant.
After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, since Yu'er has confirmed it, let's take the third girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion!" 0
"Feng Yu is really fooling around. How can this life-long event be such a trivial matter?" The emperor put down the tea cup in displeasure and knocked it heavily on the table.
The emperor seemed to be really childish about this matter. One moment he said he didn't want to get married, the next moment he said he could get married, the next moment he said he wanted to marry Yu Xijiao, the Queen Mother's favorite, and then he said it was impossible not to marry, indicating that he was the only one who wouldn't.
There is no right to marry someone else, and no one else has the right to not marry him. He also said that he first asked Xuanping Houfu to agree to the marriage, and then he broke off the engagement. This will make people think that the other party is also paranoid. This is good. We all have similar interests, so we must marry each other.
He even promised that he would never marry again. This is not nonsense.
"Your Majesty, let's end this matter here. At least he agrees. Since he likes it, just follow his wishes." The Queen Mother said helplessly.
The emperor remained silent for a while before saying, "Did Princess An and the eldest daughter really not say anything?"
"Is it ridiculous to say that Princess An and the eldest daughter agreed, just because he will never marry twice? Among all the heirs of the royal family, who doesn't marry a few more and spread the branches of the royal family? How can there be someone like him?
.”
The Queen Mother rubbed her brow and said.
"Mother, this matter still depends on An and the eldest princess. Now you have listened to Feng Yu's side of the story and don't know what An and the eldest princess think. Please, mother, please choose a day to invite An and the eldest princess into the palace in person.
After asking, I promised An and the eldest princess that if I have her bloodline again, I will not force it."
The emperor said in a low voice.
He spoke very slowly and enunciated every word clearly.
"Didn't the Emperor think that the matter between Prince Duan and Marquis Xuanping's second daughter was very good?" The Queen Mother was puzzled, "Although An and the eldest princess objected, didn't you repeatedly express that they could marry?"
"Mother, this matter cannot be discussed in the same way." The emperor said solemnly.
The Queen Mother did not speak anymore, and the hall became quiet. Mother and son were speechless. After a while, the Queen Mother finally spoke in a tired voice: "Your Majesty, Aijia, I don't care what you think or what you do, but Yu'er
Nothing can happen."
"Mother, how could I do anything to Feng Yu? You have seen how I treated him after he entered the capital. How could I do this to him? He is the second brother's heir and the second brother's only son.
The legitimate son, regardless of whether the second brother has other sons, this is the legitimate son for sure."
The emperor spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's best for the emperor to think so. The Ai family promised you before that they would persuade Yu'er. Now Yu'er has decided that the Ai family has nothing to persuade. Now the one who can persuade is the emperor. I hope the emperor will consider this.
For the sake of my brothers and sisters." The Queen Mother's face turned cold.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I love Feng Yu wholeheartedly. Mother, I promise you that as long as An and the eldest princess agree to the marriage, it will be fine." The emperor paused here, "It doesn't take An and the eldest princess to agree."
The princess agrees, as long as she doesn't object."
The Queen Mother had already made up her mind and nodded: "Your Majesty, the Ai family can basically be sure of this matter."
"Mother, this matter is not urgent, but I already know it." The emperor said, which means that even if everything is ready and everyone agrees, there is no need to rush this matter, it must be done slowly.
The Queen Mother's expression turned cold: "Your Majesty, the Ai family mainly depends on Yu'er's wishes in this matter. If Yu'er is in a hurry, the Ai family also asks the Emperor to expedite the matter for the sake of the Ai family.
"Mother, I know!" The emperor agreed, rubbing his brows.
