In the Xiyuan, everyone is laughing and laughing. The two sides of the yard are full of plum blossoms and winter jasmine. The ladies and ladies are walking among the flowers, smiling happily. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland. Only when you walk in can you see clearly.

The undercurrent was raging, Duan Qingqian found a quiet and secret place by herself, just like before, and stayed quietly.

An Anyan and Aunt Cheng looked around when they came in, but they couldn't see Duan Qingqian. The Emperor had mentioned to the Queen about An Anyan's entry into the city before, and also knew that she wanted to choose a concubine for An Yunmo, so the Emperor asked her to keep an eye on her.

, but she couldn't really be asked to help An Yunmo choose a good official lady, and the Empress had this intention, and she didn't want An Yunmo to marry anyone else. When the Empress saw An Yanyan coming in, she waved with her hand.

After receiving the move, the maid next to her immediately stepped forward.

"Empress."

"Go and invite Aunt Yan over. Tell her that we haven't seen each other for a while and ask her to come forward and talk."

"Yes, empress."

The maid has been serving the Queen since she was a child, and has met many royal family members and dignitaries, so she recognized An Anyan at a glance.

An Xinyan was looking for Duan Qingqian when a person suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked familiar and asked, "Who are you?"

"I have met the princess. I am the maid beside the queen. I had the honor to meet the princess five years ago."

When the maid said this, An Anyan also remembered, "You are the maid next to Miss Liu, oh, and now you are the queen. Don't call me princess in the future. Now that you have married into the Zheng family, I am Zheng."

My wife, you should call me Madam, right?"

"Yes, madam, I made a mistake."

"Is there something wrong with the Queen?"

"It's rare for Madam to come to the city. The Queen hasn't seen Madam for a long time and wants to catch up with Madam."

An Anyan looked around for a while, but still couldn't find Duan Qingqian, and finally followed the maid who led the way to the Queen's Empress.

Duan Qingqian, who was at a distance, also saw An Xinyan's movements. She knew lip reading and knew what An Yanyan and the others were talking about. She was also wondering, is this princess looking for her? Children of this age are almost the same as her.

Now that I'm older, is it possible that I want to find her as my wife? But I haven't heard of a family named Zheng marrying a princess in the city, so after thinking about it, I gave up and tried to get rid of her.

Here An Anyan and the Empress were here. The Empress Liu Ruyun saw An Anyan approaching and stood up. Although her status was higher than An Yan's, An Anyan was the elder, so she stood up and nodded slightly.

"The Queen is polite. I have met the Queen."

Liu Ruyun gave her a little help and then said, "Aunt Yan, stop being so polite. Xiaoling, please take a seat, Aunt Yan."

"Madam, sit here."

An Anyan thought that she couldn't find it in the crowd just now, but now she could clearly see the people sitting here, and her eyes were looking at the people below. Liu Ruyun noticed An Anyan's gaze and asked, "Aunt Yan, this is for Ah Mo to choose.

princess?"

An Anyan's movements were clearly seen and he didn't hide it, "But that's right, this kid A Mo just doesn't make people worry. When I went to the yard outside the city to recuperate, you and A Mo were fine, thinking...

, Hey, it’s all over now so I won’t mention it anymore.”

Liu Ruyun also knew what An Xinyan was talking about, "Does the Queen know any good girls?"

Liu Ruyun chuckled lightly and scolded, "Aunt Yan, please don't call me the Queen. Isn't this just disrespectful? Just call me Yun'er. There are many good girls, but it's hard for him to catch his eye."

An Anyan didn't say anything, so she just said, "That's not what Yun'er said."

Liu Ruyun couldn't really introduce a few to An Xinyan. If she said that An Yanyan was of low status, he would know what she meant immediately. If she said that her family background was good, An Xinyan would be attracted to her, and An Yunmo would also be attracted by it.

If she fell in love with him, wouldn't that be a slap in the foot? Just when she was wondering who to talk to, a nanny walked up.

"I met the Queen Mother. She heard that Princess Yan was here and said that she hadn't seen her for a long time and wanted to invite her to the palace for a chat."

Liu Ruyun looked at An Xinyan, waiting for her reply.

"Fine, fine, I'll go see the Queen Mother first."

"Princess Yan, please come this way."

After An Xinyan left, Liu Ruyun felt relieved. She once liked An Yunmo, but because of some things, they were no longer together. The previous one or two years were fine. She felt that giving up on him was a wise choice. But

An Yunsheng has gradually become alienated from her over the years, and he still selects concubines every two years.

She felt a little powerless and tired. However, An Yunmo did not live for more than three years as the imperial doctor said, and he had not married yet. She always felt that he still liked her. When she was depressed and helpless, she actually

Thinking of him, although he is now in a wheelchair, he is still aloof, cold, and domineering.

The Empress Dowager's Ci'an Hall

An Anyan was sitting across from you, listening quietly to the Queen Mother's murmurings, "Xin Yan! I haven't seen you for a while, your imperial sister-in-law. You are still so young, unlike me who is already old."

An Anyan was not familiar with the Queen Mother at all. They used to meet and say hello, that's all. She really didn't know why the Queen Mother Xu Jingyi brought her here. She didn't have that leisure. She wanted to help An Yunmo.

Picking a wife.

"Emperor's sister-in-law, the emperor is holding this banquet today and allows all ministers to bring their families. It's not good for A Mo to marry a princess at such an old age. I just wanted to show A Mo some good women today.

Otherwise, the emperor’s brother would not feel at ease down there, so the emperor’s sister-in-law must also be worried about this matter, right?”

Xu Jingyi wanted to continue with the family affairs, but she didn't expect An Yan to ask directly. She was choked for a moment, but after a while, she also frowned.

"Two years ago, the Ai family specially asked the Qing family to send the oldest girl in the palace to the palace. The Ai family looked at each one and sent someone to send a message to A Mo. Those girls are all good, but A Mo

Even if you don't like anyone, you know his temperament."

Xu Jingyi's face turned red and out of breath when she told lies. Two years ago, she asked the girls to come in and read them carefully one by one, but that was to show off those ministers who could help An Yunmo. As long as the conditions were good,

She proposed marriage or gave warnings to her officials one by one. After all these years, An Yunmo had been suffering, and her heart could not let go. She had often made trouble for An Yunmo's mother in the past, and she had done so several times.

Put her to death. Now that An Yunmo is the regent, he doesn't dare to do anything. After all, the emperor is still suppressing him. Although in a practical sense, sometimes the regent's words are more effective than the emperor's words, but as long as An Yunmo is a day

The regent didn't dare to do anything to her. If he had good help and everyone in the court supported him, he would dare to do anything, so she had to worry.

An Anyan looked unbelieving, "Really? Then I should really choose carefully this time. If nothing happens to the emperor's wife, I will go down first."

Xu Jingyi still wanted to keep An Anyan, but she didn't know what excuse to ask her to stay. She didn't dare to give orders to An Anyan, not only because An Anyan was once the late emperor's favored sister, but also because the husband she married,

Her husband died for the country, and some of his subordinates were loyal during his lifetime. The late emperor posthumously named her Duke Zheng, and she was his wife. Moreover, the late emperor also gave a gold medal for immunity from death to the prince-in-law at that time. Although Xu Jingyi is now the queen mother,

But she didn't dare to mess with her.

An Anyan suddenly felt tired after leaving Ci'an Hall, "Mommy, let's go sit over there in the pavilion?"

"Madam, aren't we going to Xiyuan?"

"I'm not going. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are coming one after another. If we go later, there will be other people coming. It's better to just sit here."

"Then we don't want to choose the prince and the princess?"

"Choose, why not choose? Pay more attention at the banquet later."

"Yes, ma'am."

An Anyan sat in the pavilion for a while, and then went to the yard where he had stayed to have a look. After some emotion, it was getting dark.

Zhongzhengdian

In the hall, all the ministers have already taken their seats, waiting for the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen. With the sound of the Emperor's arrival, the Queen Mother's arrival, and the Queen's arrival, the banquet has officially begun.

An Yunmo has also arrived. He just sat quietly where he should sit, as if he was the world. He did not salute the Queen Mother, Emperor, and Queen, nor did he give them appropriate looks when they came.

He just poured tea and drank tea uncontrollably.

Standing An Yunsheng, Xu Jingyi, and Liu Ruyun all looked at An Yunmo at first glance, because An Yunmo was the only one in the crowd who was not polite. How could this not hurt their eyes? An Yunmo

The guards only half-crouched to salute, while the others were kneeling. The three people's eyes were different. An Yunsheng's eyes flashed with viciousness, while the Queen Mother's eyes were filled with resentment.

The Queen's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Pingsheng, dear friends, don't be too polite. Just feel free to do whatever you want."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone took their seats one after another.

At the beginning, the banquet was played by singing and dancing girls. Later, someone said that there was nothing new and suggested that the girls from each family should perform their talents. Then the girls from each family showed off their eighteen martial arts skills. Only a few of them stood out, Zhou Yinghong.

What she did was a sword dance, which was quite fresh, heroic yet gentle, and she was also considered the best at the banquet, because there were not many people who could dance with swords. This was probably one of her original purposes for learning martial arts. The soft candlelight

Shaking, from a distance, Zhou Yinghong also has a special beauty, and the moonlight also hides her shortcomings.

This time, Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya played together, Duan Qingya played and sang a song, and Duan Qingli's figure danced beside her. Just now she was a beauty on earth, but now she is like a fairy descending to earth. In the end, Duan Qingya also did a

The first poem was recited on the spot, Duan Qingli played the piano for her, and the whole hall was filled with cheers.

The three of them have covered it all, including Duan Qingya who sings and writes lyrics, Duan Qingli who dances and plays the piano, and Zhou Yinghong who has a unique style. Moreover, they are all the daughters of the current prime ministers. Compared with them, the others behind them are inferior.

Quite a few, everyone thought it was very lively.

After a while, we were back to the beginning. The singers and dancers came up to perform, and the emperor and everyone were doing the housework. The only outstanding daughter-in-law in the right prime minister's house was Zhou Yinghong. The house was considered ordinary and there was nothing to say, but the left prime minister

Duan Ruhao is different. In his family, there are not only two legitimate daughters who are as beautiful as gods, but also a concubine who has not married until she is 20 years old.

The Emperor started gossiping about everyone's praise of Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya just now, "Prime Minister Zuo, I heard that a concubine in your mansion has not yet married off at the age of 20?"

Duan Ruhao did not expect that the emperor would also ask about this matter, so he hurriedly came out and replied, "Your Majesty, it is my eldest daughter who is blamed for my lax discipline. I must arrange a husband for her within three months, otherwise

Send it to the temple to pray for my Da'an Dynasty and for my family."

An Yunsheng frowned and said, "Well, I have heard some rumors about her. She has seen many young masters, but she doesn't like them?"

"Back to the Emperor, this rebellious girl lost her biological mother when she was young. She lacks discipline, has a withdrawn temperament, and is stubborn. All rebellious girls are unlucky."
