Chapter 225 The Lady is also a Butcher 23
"I, grandma, this is the first time I like someone, and I want to like him forever. Do you think I will like him forever?"
After Princess Chun'an and her husband confirmed their relationship, she no longer felt as at ease as before. Instead, she felt a little anxious.
"Chun'an, you are a princess, you can do whatever you want. Behind you are your father, mother, me, and the emperor. You have full freedom. As long as you want, you can do it."
The Queen Mother looked at this granddaughter who looked most like her and felt as if she had returned to her youth. She once said that she would always like someone, but it was fate after all.
The Empress Dowager's maternal family is the Ling family, the former Prime Minister's Mansion. She was destined to enter the palace, destined to be the Queen, and destined to become the Empress Dowager.
But when she was young, she was madly in love with someone, but in the end, she missed him. She had no freedom, and she hoped that her granddaughter could make her own choice.
"Yes, I understand. Grandma, I will do it. I believe I will do it."
"When do you plan to get married?"
"I want to settle down with Yunsheng first, and then get married after he passes the imperial examination next year."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, Yunsheng is a capable person. As long as he can pass the palace examination, the rest will be left to your uncle."
What the Queen Mother meant was that as long as Yunsheng could rank in the top ten and perform well in the palace examination, he would definitely be in the top three. What's wrong with pampering him a little bit?
"Yeah, don't let him know. I'm afraid he might have some burden in his heart."
Princess Chun'an was not averse to helping Yunsheng, but she was still worried that he would have some male self-esteem or something, so it was always better to avoid such things.
The Queen Mother poked Princess Chun'an with her finger, "Do you think he won't know if we don't tell him? This man knows what's going on in the officialdom, not to mention that Yunsheng is not stupid. Okay, we won't tell him actively, but if he guesses it himself, it can't be our fault."
"Yeah, I see. We'll talk about it later."
"Oh my, my darling granddaughter is going to belong to someone else. I really don't want to let her go. I was worried when you didn't choose someone before. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to marry a good husband in the future.
Now that you are getting married, I can't bear to let you go. I feel like I can keep you for another two years. Alas, families who raise daughters are the most worried. "
"Grandma, I will stay in the capital forever. If you miss me in the future, I will come to the palace to accompany you. There will be no time for us to meet again."
"Too."
The grandparents and grandchildren had a good talk, and when they finished it was already late, so Princess Chun'an stayed in the palace.
One month later,
Ming Huaixi had prepared the betrothal gifts, and when he learned that Princess Cheng had returned, he visited her with the expensive gifts, to see if Princess Cheng needed to prepare anything else, and he still had time to prepare since it had not been decided in the next few days.
"I've met the princess."
The princess is the king and she is the subject, so she still has to pay respects when meeting the princess.
After hearing the news that her daughter had someone she liked, Princess Cheng sent people to investigate Yun Sheng. She found out that Ming Huaixi was his sister-in-law and that his family was just a merchant.
It stands to reason that such a family is not worthy of the princess, but who can blame her daughter for liking him? Yunsheng is also a capable man. The most important thing is that Princess Cheng is afraid that if she misses this man, her daughter will never like anyone else again.
Princess Cheng looked at the person in front of her and found out that this person was very strong and powerful. She supported the entire Ming family as a woman and also established her foothold in the capital as a woman.
She originally thought that this person must be a country woman with a relatively strong physique and a rough speaking style, but now it seems that she was wrong.
This man has good manners, a slim figure, speaks in a gentle voice, and has a clear voice, which makes people feel good about him.
"Mrs. Yun, please stand up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Princess Cheng asked Ming Huaixi to sit below her, and she sat in the main seat, which was an arrangement that showed respect for Ming Huaixi.
Apart from the host, only people of very noble status can sit in the main seat. The higher the status of other people, the closer they sit to the host.
"My Lady Princess, I came here to visit you and for the two children. This is the betrothal gift from our family, along with some other things. Please check if there are any other omissions. We will make up for them when the time comes."
Princess Cheng had been engaged before, and she didn't care much about the betrothal gifts. The Yun family was a small merchant family, and they could only offer a few things, as long as they could make a good show.
Princess Cheng didn't expect that the booklet was so thick. When she opened a page, it was covered with dense words. After reading the booklet, Princess Cheng felt a little skeptical. She thought that even Princess Cheng couldn't take out these things in a short time.
The Yun family is just an ordinary merchant family. Can they really take it out? Are they just trying to make it look good? There is no need for that.
Princess Cheng became more and more confused the more she thought about it and decided to remind Ming Huaixi that as long as the child was well, the other things would be just a token of appreciation and there was no need to empty the family's savings. Princess Cheng didn't care that much.
"Ahem, Madam Yun, the children's wedding banquet should be provided by the palace. Actually, as long as the children are fine, other things are external and unimportant."
Ming Huaixi understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that Princess Cheng felt that she had emptied her family's fortune. Hahaha, that's not the case. These things were all treasure hiding places she had discovered when she occasionally went out for fun in the past few years.
Not to mention, the ancestors of this dynasty liked to hide things in caves or underground, and little Jinglan saw them every time, and slowly they accumulated so many things.
It just so happened that Yunsheng was about to get married, and he was marrying a princess. They were not a good match in terms of status, so he had to be ruthless with the money. These things would just be gathering dust in the warehouse, so it would be better to give them away.
Ming Huaixi said that she is no longer the money-loving Ming Huaixi of the past. Now she has so much money that she can't spend it all, so she can still afford this amount.
(What old Versailles.)
"Madam Wang Fen, these things are my gifts to you. Yunsheng is not worthy of you, but fortunately, we still have some things at home. If you don't give him more, Yunsheng will feel very inferior."
Princess Cheng stopped persuading her. If someone is willing to give it, then just accept it. At worst, she can ask her daughter to keep an eye on the situation in the Yun Mansion. If things are not going well, she can just ask her daughter to help.
"You have made all the preparations. I have no objection."
"My Lady Princess, how about I invite a matchmaker over the day after tomorrow?"
Princess Cheng naturally had no objection. She returned to the capital mainly for Chun'an's marriage, so it would be better if it was settled quickly. She also had to return to Lingzhou earlier, otherwise her husband would make a fuss.
Princess Cheng wanted to laugh when she thought of King Cheng. He was so grown up but still couldn't live without people. What a shameless man. Otherwise, if something had happened in Lingzhou this time, he would probably have come along.
