♂?，，

  The princess wrote a few flower letters on the second day and called the maidservant to send them to the lower servants in the front yard, ordering them to deliver these flower letters today.

  The lady of the house had another servant woman come over to ask if there were any upcoming festivals or celebrations, as she wanted to invite a few familiar ladies over for a gathering and see if anyone had any news about potential matches. The servant woman brought back some suitable dates for entertaining guests, and the duchess invited Old Madame Sun, an elderly lady-in-waiting who served under the old duchess dowager.

  Discussing with Sun Aunt, heard the maid report back, the Duke has arrived.

  The princess of the county king hastily came out to welcome them, and the county king went straight into the inner house. Sun Mama hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Highness, do you have time to sit down today?"

  "Ah, yes," said Sun's wife with a smile. "I came to chat with the king's consort since I had nothing better to do. The king can rest now, and I'll take my leave."

  The princess followed in, hastily ordering the maid to send Sun Mama away. On this side, she came forward to attend to the prince and help him take off his outer garments, while softly asking, "Your Highness isn't going out today?"

  The king grunted and didn't say anything else... Ah yes, find me that two taels of top-grade Longjing tea the emperor gave me.

  "Does the king want to drink it himself or give it to someone else?"

  "Give it to your father-in-law, he loves drinking Longjing tea."

  The princess couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked, "Your Highness..."

  The young master changed into a casual cloud-patterned long shirt, sat in the chair, and the maidservants came in to serve water and tea. He waved his hand and they all went out. The maidservants immediately left.

  The princess held the clothes that the king had changed out of, and hadn't even had time to hang them on the clothes rack, when she sat down beside him. "Your Majesty, is there something you want to say? Don't hesitate."

  The county king nodded and said: "Is the marriage of Yi Xuan settled?"

  The princess of the county king hastily shook her head and said "Not yet..."

  "Wasn't it supposed to be one of the three nieces? Not jumping words. The Duke was visibly anxious, frowning at the Duchess."

  "This..."

  "The king looked at her and shook his head, saying: 'Is the queen going to turn against her natal family? Originally, it was tacitly agreed that one of the nieces would marry Yu Xuan, but suddenly you want to change to Yu Huan... If it were Yu Huan from the start, it wouldn't be a problem, but everyone knows that it was Yu Xuan who was chosen. Now, suddenly changing to Yu Huan, what will the parents-in-law think? Not to mention the difference between legitimate and illegitimate sons, even if they are legitimate sons, this back-and-forth change clearly doesn't put the parents-in-law in their eyes, isn't it going to provoke them?'"

  The princess hesitated and said, "Your Highness?"

  "Invite Mr. Chen to come, and also ask Sun's wife to discuss it. Mr. Chen's family members jokingly call her 'matchmaker'. Sun's wife is the only person that Niangzi is willing to meet frequently, isn't there another plan? Think about it and you'll understand." The Duke took out the flower letter that the Duchess had just sent out from his sleeve and placed it on the table. "If it were Yihuan's marriage, why would they be so meticulous?"

  "Prince"

  "Alright, alright, I've said it, but this matter was really handled too hastily"

  The princess's face didn't look good, looking at those flowers and saying "I just invited her to ask a few questions..." Besides, about Yī Zhōu's matter, I never told Father, Mother, or Big Brother that I wanted to marry a niece for him. She said unhappily, "Your Highness is thinking too seriously. Would I turn against my own family? Besides, I've always treated Yī Huàn as if he were my own son."

  "The king shook his head and said, 'The queen, staying in the inner courtyard of the palace all day, naturally wouldn't understand some things... My father-in-law was the crown prince's tutor for three dynasties. As long as the current emperor has a son, becoming the fourth dynasty's crown prince's tutor is just around the corner. Although my father-in-law doesn't like to show off, who in the imperial court would dare look down on him? We are not even close enough to him, yet we still dare to be rude?"

  He stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing around the house. I was afraid that my father-in-law and mother-in-law would be dissatisfied, so I quickly wrote a letter to explain in detail. My eldest daughter-in-law has not been pregnant yet, and only then did he reluctantly agree. Why bother to create more trouble? On the contrary, at this time, we should hurry up and settle the marriage between Yuexu and my niece, which can make my father-in-law and mother-in-law feel relieved.

  The princess stopped for a while, and the king looked at her expression, obviously still not convinced. He sat on the chair, speaking with a bitter tone: "Princess, don't think that your father-in-law and mother-in-law are still treating you like before when you were unmarried. After all, things have changed now. When you act arbitrarily in front of my parents, they will think it's my intention and consider it not serious, but who knows it has already become very serious."

  The princess looked at him and sighed, "Your Highness, I didn't know about these things, but I really feel that... it's not that serious..." Her voice trailed off a bit, and after being spoken to like that by the prince, she wasn't very confident either. Thinking about it, this matter was indeed decided somewhat rashly.

  "I've thought about it, if I really have to call my father-in-law and mother-in-law, it will probably only get worse. Thinking carefully, my father-in-law is still okay, but my mother-in-law's personality is so strong. My father-in-law has always listened to my mother-in-law's words, on the matter of taking a concubine, I'm afraid my mother-in-law won't understand, let alone this back-and-forth, putting people in such a predicament."

  "Alright, even if I did think of it, but Your Highness, this is... using the marriage between Wei and the Crown Prince..." The Princess hesitated, not finishing her sentence, looking at the King with a mixture of wanting to speak and stopping herself.

  The Duke hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice. Even if it's just a marriage arrangement, it's still his own brother. We can't use this matter to solidify our relationship with the Marquis' family. As of now, we have no children, and among all the imperial princes, our son is the most outstanding in terms of character. Some things I don't need to say, but you should understand that if it really comes down to it in the future, a word from the Marquis, a veteran minister who has served three dynasties, will carry more weight than anything we, the Dukes, can say. Which one do you think the ministers will listen to? It goes without saying.

  "Ke Yun Shi..."

  "Yi Yue also wants to marry his cousin," said the Duke, shaking his head. "Alas, it's him again, and he can't even see it? To be honest, Yi Yue has already told me that he wants to marry his third cousin, Ke Gui."

  The princess of the county king was not surprised, because she had already vaguely felt it, sighed in her heart, and knew that Hui Xuan could go to find the county king to say, must be because he showed an attitude different from before, this is what made him anxious...

  "Alright, this matter was indeed simpler than I thought... But did Yu Ye say his thoughts? What did he say? Did he clearly say that he wanted to marry Ke Qi?"

  The county king nodded and said, "Yes."

  The princess murmured to herself, "Why doesn't this child come and talk to me?"

  "He is doing it and fearing that he has said it, but on the contrary, he feels that he looks down on people even more, and wants to find an outsider for him." The Duke smiled.

  The princess also smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm not as good as you?"

  The king smiled and stroked his beard, not looking at the child, but at the bigger picture... He looked at the king's wife again, who was about to get angry, and laughed with both hands raised, "Alright, alright, I've spoken again. But since we've already set our sights on it, there's no need to worry anymore, let's just settle on the three nieces."

  The princess of the county king hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take a look too, no rush."

  "It's been many years since we all watched it, and if we watch Yi Wei again, it will be twenty years"

  "The princess of the county king glared at him and smiled, getting up. As a public official, you don't have to worry so much, if something goes wrong, I as the mother-in-law will be worried sick."

  The county king lost his smile and shook his head as he watched her leave.

  The county princess was persuaded, and Zhu Yueli had already made it clear that he wanted to marry Chu Keqi. He could only observe his third cousin more in the future. As for what Wu Yuhuan said, of course, she also reminded him to pay attention not only to San Niangzi but also to the impression of the people around her on San Niangzi.

  After noon, Chu Kei received a report from her maid that the Princess of the Duke was in high spirits tonight and invited everyone to go to her place for dinner.

  Chu Ke certainly didn't, until evening, very calmly changed clothes and came to the county king's wife here.

  As soon as she entered the house, she saw the Crown Prince's consort sitting next to the Duchess, with a smile on her face, chatting with the Duchess. Apart from being slightly pale, nothing else seemed out of place. Chuyuntin and Chuyunqing had arrived earlier than her.

  Chu Xue drew near and made a curtsy, but the Princess of the Commandery didn't wait for her to finish before laughing and pulling her up. "Your family doesn't have to be so polite all the time," she said. "If we were to meet ten times in one day and make a bow each time, wouldn't that exhaust people?"

  The princess smiled and said, "Three bows are already too many." Her voice was soft and gentle, and her gaze at Chu Ke'er was also very soft. Chu Ke'er felt a chill run down her spine and hastily said, "I'm late, I'll make an apologetic bow."

  "It's not late, we still have to wait a while for dinner anyway. It's just right that you all accompany me and chat with me." The princess of the county king said with a smile.

  Chu Xue didn't hear any other meaning in the words of the Princess of Junwang, and smiled and nodded.

  Chu Yun Ting felt uneasy in her heart, and the princess of the county king said that she had come too early.

  She indeed arrived very early, just after noon, and upon hearing from the maid that the Duchess would be summoning them for dinner tonight, she hurried over. At the time, the Duchess had not yet risen from her afternoon rest, so she could only wait in the main hall.

  Li Lankun caused quite a stir with the Duchess, and this person was invited by her, so she should explain and apologize to the Duchess. Before finding the Duchess to explain, she went to find the Crown Prince's wife first, wanting to talk about it, Li Lankun's side was acting arbitrarily and had nothing to do with it.

  Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince's consort was actually put under house arrest by the Duke's consort, and no one was allowed to see her.

  At this time, Chu Yun Ting felt that this matter was not trivial on the other side, and might have been infuriated. Moreover, it is very likely that this account will not only be recorded on Li Lan Jun's body but also on her own body.

  She is the princess consort, the eldest daughter of the county king's consort. If she can often speak well of one of the three in front of the county king's consort, that person may have entered the county king's consort's eyes and become the legitimate wife of the third uncle.

  She has always been trying to curry favor with everyone, and the original crown prince's consort was also very good to her and valued her highly, obviously hoping to marry her off to Third Uncle... But now, big trouble, a Li Lankun has thoroughly offended her.

  Obviously, the county princess was also offended. Suddenly, a son appeared, and the county princess was not prepared. It was almost forced, and even the reputation of the young master was affected. The county princess could be happy about it.

  Chu Yun Ting never thought that, in front of people being honest and following the rules, but behind their backs secretly scheming, thinking this way would guarantee a win. However, because of an unrelated person, she offended the two people she most wanted to curry favor with. Can she swallow this insult?

  Of course I want to make amends, these days at home, thinking about how to explain to Aunt and cousin.

  It is by.
