The Anding Marquis and his family sat down in the small hall. Pu Shi saw the ugly faces of her parents and shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry. Ask the kitchen to cook me something. I want to eat."
"What are you eating?" Lady Marquis Anding glared at her. Didn't she see that the master's face was even darker than that day
Marquis Anding asked, "Why did you return to Beijing?"
"Dad, I wrote a letter back, didn't you read it?" Mrs. Park asked back dissatisfiedly.
Ning Dinghou looked at the small white flower on her temples and frowned, saying, "Cui Si is gone. As his wife, you have to observe mourning for him for three years. What are you doing back now?"
"The Cui family is not human. They asked me to go to the ancestral temple to observe mourning and even forbade me to bring a maid with me." Park said aggrievedly.
Marquis Anding and his wife were silent for a moment, and his wife asked, "Why didn't you write it in the letter?"
"I forgot." Park deliberately didn't write it. She didn't want to stay in Cui's family.
"You could even forget this?" Marquis Anding didn't believe it.
"Mom, it's already this late. Let's talk tomorrow. I'm so tired from the journey." Park yawned with her hand covering her mouth.
"I will send you back to the Cui family tomorrow morning. You can have a good sleep tonight." Marquis Anding stood up and said.
"I won't go back to the Cui family." Park screamed, scaring the dazed little boy awake. He looked at his mother with confused eyes, not crying or making a fuss, and was quite well-behaved.
Lady Marquis Anding touched his head and said softly, "Be good, baby. Let your grandma hold you as you sleep." Then she picked up the little boy and held him sideways, patting him gently.
"If you don't go back to the Cui family, where do you want to go?" Marquis Anding narrowed his eyes at her, "Stay in the capital?"
Pu nodded and said, "Mom, please ask Zhen Jie'er to move out and return the yard to me."
Upon hearing that her daughter wanted to live back in the courtyard where she lived before she got married, Lady Anding Hou regretted again that she had spoiled her daughter too much and made her so brainless.
"Are you staying in the capital because you want to kill your entire family?" Marquis Anding asked angrily.
"It's been so many years since the incident happened, and everyone has forgotten about it long ago. No one will say anything about it." Park felt that things had changed and there was no problem for her to return to the capital and live there for a long time.
"Do you think everyone in the capital is blind?" Marquis Anding sneered.
When he learned that Park and Choi Si had been having an affair and were two months pregnant, and that Prince Jin had been away at the border for half a year and had not returned, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
For the sake of Park family's reputation, he wanted to kill this shameless daughter, but his wife protected her, so he had to arrange for his daughter to escape death. It took him a lot of effort to make this happen.
He thought that his daughter had gone to Dandong with Cui Si, and the matter was over.
But he didn't expect that after so many years of peace, his heart had finally settled down. He was still thinking about whether to resume contacts with Prince Jin, but Cui Si suddenly died and his daughter returned to Beijing.
"I am no longer qualified to meet those who knew me. Who knows that I, Park Huiyi, am the former Park Yunjin?" Park said resentfully.
"Who caused the current situation?" Lady Marquis Anding asked back unhappily.
She could have become the emperor's mother-in-law, but now she was worried that the new emperor would find out about this. "Zhen'er, you can't stay in Beijing. The King of Jin is no longer the King of Jin. He has become the emperor and will hold a coronation ceremony soon. If he finds out, our whole family will die."
Park's expression changed slightly, "Prince Jin is the emperor?"
"Yes." Lady Anding Marquis nodded.
"How could he become emperor?" asked Park.
Marquis Anding snorted coldly, "How he became the emperor has nothing to do with you. Remember that you are Cui Pushi now, Cui Si's widow."
Pu lowered her head and remained silent. Back then, when she married Helian Yu, who was then the Prince of Huaibei, she also looked forward to her married life.
However, Helian Yu was still young at that time, busy with his career, and neglected her. She could not resist the temptation, and she and Cui Si did something that was unfair to Helian Yu.
If she had kept it, would she be the queen now
"Zhen'er." Lady Marquis Anding shouted fearfully. She was really afraid that her daughter would do something difficult to deal with again.
Park looked at her parents and said, "Dad, you don't need to remind me. I know there is no possibility for him and I."
"Okay, go back to the yard with your mother. We'll leave early tomorrow morning." Marquis Anding put his hands behind his back and walked out.
Anding Hou turned back and stared at her, "What did you do in Cui's house?"
"I didn't do anything." Park lowered her head guiltily.
Anding Hou took a deep breath, did not ask any more questions, and asked calmly: "If you don't go back to Dandong, where do you want to go?"
"Go to Jinan, I want to go to Jinan." said Park.
Anding Hou frowned, "Why do you want to go to Jinan where you are unfamiliar with the place?"
“I heard people say Jinan is good.”
The face of the Marquis of Anding changed slightly. "Who told you that? Zhen'er, you shouldn't..."
Park blushed slightly, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Seeing her shy look, Marquis Anding and his wife felt their hearts sink. The wife of Marquis Anding wanted to say something, but when she saw Marquis Anding shook his head, she swallowed her words back.
Cui Si is dead, and Park is still young, so she will definitely remarry.
When you first marry, you should follow your relatives; when you second marry, you should follow yourself; and when you third marry, as long as the man is not a criminal and has no wife or house, it will be fine.
They can't control their daughter.
"You will go and live in a farm outside the city tomorrow. When things are arranged in Jinan, you can take Baoer with you." Marquis Anding said.
"Got it." Park smiled.
Just when Lady Marquis of Anding was settling her daughter and grandson to live in her yard.
The servants who knew about Park's escape have been eliminated one after another by Marquis Anding over the years.
But the couple forgot that some of the maids in the courtyard of Lady Anding had seen Park.
It was strange to find that this young woman, who was called the Marquis's distant niece, looked exactly like the older girl who had passed away.
Two of these maids had vaguely heard that Park was not dead, but had changed her name and been sent to Dandong.
The two maids were whispering there, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
The next morning, the listener passed the story on.
An hour later, the matter reached the new emperor.
"Escape from death?" The new emperor sneered, "Investigate."
Although he did not like Park, he also gave her the title of princess. If the Anding Marquis's Mansion really did such a thing, he would let them know what the emperor's wrath was.
Just when he was asking people to investigate the matter, a minister submitted a memorial asking him to posthumously confer the title of Queen Park on her.
The new emperor put the memorial aside and ignored it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of June, the day of the new emperor's coronation ceremony.
In the morning, Jiang Changning personally put on the bright yellow crown for the new emperor, "Your Majesty is so handsome."
The new emperor leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, "Your Majesty is so beautiful."
Jiang Changning saw him off and watched him leave on the dragon chariot.
The new emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and earth in the southern suburbs and changed the reign title to Xuanzhi.
