After she agreed, she didn't move again.
Hongtiao stood quietly by her side, looking worried. After a long while, he mustered up the courage to say to her, "Your Highness, don't be too sad. As the Queen said, if someone already has someone in their heart, it's meaningless for him to come..."
Hongtiao is the daughter of Princess Yonghe's wet nurse. She has been serving Princess Yonghe since she was young. Her status is different from that of other palace maids, and she is the only one who dares to say these words.
Princess Yonghe was indeed not angry. She stared blankly at the incense burner on the table. After a long time, she leaned back on the cushion and closed her aching eyes.
She also knows that a forced melon is not sweet.
But knowing is one thing, and whether you can do it or not is another matter.
Growing up, she had never wanted anything in particular.
Only Shen Chen.
This was a good son-in-law that she always felt belonged to her.
If you can't get...
No, there is no such if.
She has lost a lot and has little to gain. All she wants is Shen Chen.
No matter what, he must be hers.
She paused, stood up and said to Hongtiao, "I want to leave the palace."
The princesses of this dynasty were different from those of the previous dynasties. Because they were favored by Emperor Longqing, they had a certain status.
Princess Yonghe is still the most prestigious of Emperor Longqing's unmarried princesses.
Hongtiao stood up and hesitated: "Do you want to go see the Marquis?"
Princess Yonghe had a cold expression on her face. She glanced at her and then turned away, saying softly, "I want to go see Princess Shouning."
She was feeling very confused. In fact, she didn't necessarily need to see Wei An, but she just couldn't stay alone anymore.
Hongtiao did not dare to disobey, so she quickly prepared everything for her, changed into ordinary clothes, and accompanied her out of the palace.
Even though they were travelling light, they still had to bring a lot of people and things. Princess Yonghe was extremely impatient and would not allow them to follow her when they reached Zhengyang Street. She just took an unregulated carriage and took Hongtiao to the Linjiang Palace.
Seeing that they were not going to Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, Hongtiao breathed a sigh of relief but felt strange. She carefully asked Princess Yonghe what she was thinking: "Something happened in Linjiang Palace. I heard that even the county lady was affected because she went out of town for medical treatment..."
Princess Yonghe felt a little disappointed.
She almost forgot. Yes, things are no longer the same as before, and Princess Xianrong is no longer in the Linjiang Palace.
After a pause, she ordered the carriage to turn around.
She did not go to the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, but instead asked the carriage to turn around and go to the Qinghe Earl's Mansion.
Hongtiao looked at her blankly and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to the Bo's Mansion?"
Princess Yonghe did go to see the wife of Earl Qinghe.
When Lady Qinghe heard this, she almost suspected that she had misheard. But when she heard that it was really the princess who came, she quickly had someone help her go outside to greet her.
Grandma Lin has now completely fallen out with her and has taken the children back to her parents' home. Her home is no longer the same as it used to be. She has also been ill and has not yet fully recovered. When she heard that Princess Yonghe had come, she thought something had happened.
By now, she couldn't stand it any longer.
The younger of her sons died at the hands of Young Master Lin, and now the older one is in danger as well. Until now, she dared not make a fuss.
The reason why he could still hold on was because he wanted to get his grandson back, or at least leave a descendant for his eldest son, and he did not dare to offend Princess Yonghe.
This nobleman came suddenly without any warning. She was at a loss for a while before she remembered to respectfully ask her what she was here for.
Princess Yonghe's temper had calmed down a lot compared to before. After sending the servants away, she asked her softly, "I heard that your family is interested in discussing marriage with Princess Shouning of Dingbei Marquis's mansion?"
Mrs. Qinghe was stunned.
I never thought that Princess Yonghe came here just to ask such a question.
She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and nodded hesitantly: "That's indeed the case..." She didn't know what Princess Yonghe meant, so she didn't dare to make any conclusions directly. She just hesitated and said: "It's just... but there is no explanation for what happened now. His Highness knows about our family... I can't make the decision for him. I can only see what the Queen wants."
Hongtiao was standing nearby and glanced at Princess Yonghe.
Concubine Lin Shu had always had a good relationship with Fengyi Palace, but that was just a good relationship. She was a very cautious person and always knew how to keep herself out of trouble.
Princess Yonghe had never had much friendship with her.
Sure enough, Princess Yonghe raised her hand to support her chin and said slowly, "Oh!" Then she asked her, "What does your Majesty mean?"
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was a little stunned. She thought for a while in embarrassment before saying, "The Third Young Master has never been a person who would express his thoughts. Since he has said that he likes her, then the Empress must like her. The relationship between them has always been good."
When talking about the good relationship between the siblings, Mrs. Qinghe's expression was slightly distorted.
Princess Yonghe raised her chin, turned her head slightly to look at the wife of the Earl of Qinghe, and asked her, "If that's the case, then this matter will be final as long as the Wei family agrees?"
Lady Qinghe finally understood the purpose of this noble lady's visit. It turned out that she came for Wei An's matter.
She remembered the rumors that Shen Chen and Princess Yonghe were about to get engaged, so she nodded without hesitation, "That's right. The Third Young Master has always been a taciturn person, and he rarely likes anything. He told the Empress about Princess Shouning in person, and this is the first time in all these years. If he didn't like her to a certain extent, he wouldn't do such a thing."
As long as Wei An nodded, how could Young Master Lin, who was so eager to propose marriage, not agree
As for whether Wei An likes Young Master Lin or not, and whether she will feel resentful after marrying him, this is certainly not a problem she needs to consider.
Anyway, Young Master Lin is not her biological son.
She didn't need to worry about his future daughter-in-law.
Princess Yonghe seemed to be thinking about something and did not ask any more questions about the matter. She sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe sent Princess Yonghe out with great fear and trepidation, and then said to Nanny Lin beside her: "No one is allowed to mention the fact that Princess Yonghe came here today!"
Nanny Lin responded in a low voice, and then asked her, "Madam, what does the princess mean by this? She came to ask about our Princess Shouning and the Third Young Master for no reason... She has never had any friendship with the Third Young Master, and she has nothing to do with Princess Shouning..."
Suddenly I became concerned about this matter, it seems strange no matter how I look at it.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe has now lost her power, and Nanny Lin is a little worried that she will do something wrong because of the arrival of Princess Yonghe.
