Before the Flower Appreciation Banquet, Yu Lan already had a suitable candidate for the Crown Princess, one, two, three, four. This time the Flower Appreciation Banquet was just to let the Crown Prince take a look and see if he could like her.
Yu Lan had mentioned it to her son a few days ago about the girls from aristocratic families she was interested in. With her son's consent, she organized this flower-viewing banquet. After all, she was not satisfied, the main thing was that her son could
Take a fancy to.
No, before coming here, the prince had already seen several portraits from the secret guards and had a general understanding of them.
Family background, character, appearance, temperament, all aspects are excellent. She has white skin, beautiful appearance, and gentle temperament. Not only does she look dignified and generous, but she is also well-educated and learned to be a housekeeper from her mother early on. So.
, no matter who he chooses among the girls his mother is interested in, they will be able to take care of everything for him when they marry into the Eastern Palace.
As for what he said, a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, that's stupid. He doesn't want his future princess to be a dumpling who doesn't know anything.
At this time, the prince was sitting on Yu Lan's right hand side, watching the performance. This was a very uncomfortable occasion for women.
After seeing the people, she already had a candidate in mind, but the process still required.
Seeing his son glance at the seat over there, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What do you think, the emperor?"
"Whose daughter is that?"
The prince raised his hand to signal.
Yu Lan followed his gaze and understood that she had fallen in love with the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War.
This is exactly what she thought.
Among the candidates she was interested in, this girl was the youngest. Of the other three, two were the same age as Huang Er, and the other was two years older. No matter which one of these girls, they were excellent.
However, you must choose one. Yu Lan prefers the younger one after all. Although he has not grown yet, he still looks fair and beautiful now. In addition, he looks blessed. The most important thing is that he is in good health.
At this point, Yu Lan was partial to this girl.
Yu Lan knew very well that it was not a good thing for a woman to be too weak, and it would be very dangerous when she gave birth to children in the future. Therefore, the future crown princess must choose a healthy one.
Thinking about it this way, Yu Lan felt that she was really thinking long-term and easy to worry about.
Upon hearing the prince's question, the eunuch standing next to Yu Lan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, that is Miss Lin Er, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Binbu, who is twelve years old."
Of course he knows this.
That face looks quite blessed and pleasing to the eye.
Well, just her!
Now that you have made your choice, you must give something to express it. The prince did not waste any time, reached out and took off the jade pendant and handed it over.
"reward……"
That meaning is naturally unclear.
"Yes, I will send it to Miss Lin Er right now."
The one who can reward His Highness the Crown Prince with a personal jade pendant is naturally the future Crown Princess. Concubines do not receive this kind of treatment.
Everyone watched helplessly as the jade pendant gifted by the prince came into the hands of Lin Yunwan, the daughter of the Minister of War. For a moment, those ladies and ladies secretly pinched their handkerchiefs, and they were all jealous.
Lin Yunwan was also a little confused. The jade pendant in her hand made her feel a little hot.
Isn't she here just to go through the motions?
He raised his eyes and met his cousin's murderous gaze. Before he came, his father told him that their family's status in the court was already quite high. In order to stabilize the court, the emperor would probably not let him become the crown prince.
. So, for today’s flower viewing party, she just came to join in and go through the motions. When necessary, she asked her cousin to help her, saying that if her cousin could become the crown princess, it would be helpful to her marriage in the future.
It's quite unexpected.
However, she would not let go of the jade pendant she had obtained due to her strength. Of course, she did not have the courage.
Lin Yunwan stood up and saluted the prince respectfully, "My maid, I would like to thank His Highness the prince for the reward."
Looking at her daughter who was in the spotlight and meeting the envious eyes of those ladies, Mrs. Lin's face was filled with glory.
There is nothing I can do, my daughter is too ambitious.
Is their family going to have a crown princess? No, no, it's not time to be happy yet. We have to wait for the emperor's imperial edict to arrive before it can be truly settled.
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
In such an occasion, although Lin Yunwan is still young, she does not have stage fright. It can be seen that Mrs. Lin is well-educated.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the prince, and saw that he was also looking at her. Lin Yunwan lowered her head with a warm face.
His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a talented person, but how could His Highness the Crown Prince like me?
"Mother, my son and I have some matters to deal with, so we left first."
Withdrawing his gaze, the prince was ready to leave.
Yu Lan nodded, "Well, go ahead!"
Prince: "Well, later, my son will have dinner with his mother."
Yu Lan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, "Okay..."
The prince stood up and bowed to the queen, then made excuses and left first. Everyone could see the prince's respect and filial piety for his mother.
In this way, the purpose of this flower appreciation banquet was achieved. After that, Yu Lan rewarded the ladies from aristocratic families with many things because of their outstanding talents. When it came to Lin Yunwan, Yu Lan directly gave the jade bracelet on her wrist to
Rewarded.
Since her son is interested in her, this girl will be her future daughter-in-law, so it is not too much to prefer her.
Seeing the jade bracelets gifted by the Queen to those ladies, my heart was filled with chills, and my last hope was shattered.
It's Lin Yunwan again.
What's good about her?
Hu Meizi, at a young age, knew how to seduce the prince.
I usually see her being gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect that she hid it the deepest. Both myself and my mother were deceived by their mother and daughter, and they said they would help me. I glanced at the jade bracelet on Lin Yunwan's hand, and then I got it.
Even though Wang Su was smiling, her expression was very forced and she really wanted to cry.
Why.
Lin Yunwan felt helpless, it seemed that she would be hated by her cousin in the future.
Forget it, let’s just do it! With my cousin’s temper, if I can have less contact with her in the future, I’d better have less contact with her!
After receiving the reward, Lin Yunwan stepped forward to salute and thank her.
"My maid, thank you, the Queen, for the reward."
Yu Lan: "Come here and let me take a look."
Lin Yunwan: "Yes, the Queen."
The girl was always very shy. After all, Lin Yunwan was still young. When the Empress called her, her nervous hands naturally felt warm. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and make the Empress unhappy.
Seeing the little girl standing in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, but also a little nervous and shy, Yu Lan smiled and said, "What's your name?"
"Back to the Queen, my daughter's name is Lin Yunwan."
"Yunwan, which means gentle and graceful, is a good name."
(Note: In ancient times, women became sensible very early. It was normal for women to get engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was not against the law. Because they got married almost at the age of sixteen or seventeen, so they all got engaged early. Ancient women cannot be judged by modern people's thinking.
We modern people are still studying when we are sixteen or seventeen years old, but others have already started fighting among themselves.)
