On this day, the Queen came to Red Luan Palace.
There was no need to guess, Duan Yunfei also knew the reason for the Empress coming to Red Luan Palace today.
"Yun Fei welcomes the empress's personal visit to Red Luan Palace."
Although Duan Yunfei was extremely unwilling to see the young masters chosen by the Empress, she could only see them one by one due to the pressure that Yuwen Di was giving him. After all, they were only met once, and that did not mean that the marriage was settled.
In his heart, Duan Yunfei still hoped that he could delay the marriage a little. After all, after a marriage, she definitely wouldn't be able to live as comfortably as she was now.
The empress helped Duan Yunfei up, with a kind face, making people who didn't know think she was Duan Yunfei's birth mother.
After a few pleasantries, the Empress finally revealed her purpose for coming to Red Luan Palace.
"Thirteenth Princess, in recent days, following the instructions of His Majesty, I have picked out a few good guys for Thirteenth Princess that I think are among the best in the entire Jin Country. I also don't know what kind of things Thirteenth Princess likes, so it's fine if Thirteenth Princess doesn't like it, but then we can choose again. "
After all, Duan Yingluo was her biological daughter. Even if Duan Yingluo was not satisfied at that time, the Empress would not have to worry about anyone criticizing her.
But Duan Yunfei was different. Everyone in the palace knew that Duan Yunfei was the most beloved princess of Yuwen Di and Imperial Consort Duanshuo was Yuwen Di's most beloved concubine when she was still alive. Everyone in the palace believed that the empress would definitely hate Duan Yunfei to the point that their teeth would itch.
The empress was the one who had to bear with this pressure and choose the matchmaker for Duan Yunfei. One must know that the empress had never placed Duan Yunfei in her eyes. No matter how pampered Duan Yunfei was, she was still a princess. At that time, he would still be marrying out of the palace, and wouldn't have any influence on the future throne. As long as the Fifth Prince could ascend to the throne, let alone Duan Yunfei, even if the Imperial Consort Duanshuo was alive, the Queen would still welcome them with a smile.
But just because the Queen was worried about attracting criticism, she had high hopes for Duan Yunfei's marriage. Even if Duan Yunfei was not satisfied with the candidates, the Queen would not be worried that Duan Yunfei would be hostile towards her.
The Queen was only worried about what Yuwen Di thought of her. One must know, in the palace, it was not only her mother who mattered, if the Queen had settled this matter, Yuwen Di would also take the Fifth Prince seriously. This was one of the reasons why the empress wanted to accept this difficult mission.
After all, the empress had personally come to speak of this matter, so no matter how unwilling Duan Yunfei was, he could not reveal it.
"I've really troubled the empress. Yun Fei thanks the empress first."
Duan Yunfei bowed to the empress, and Xiao Yang, who was beside him, also bowed.
Then, the Queen then told Duan Yunfei the names of the court officials she had meticulously selected one by one. Most of them were the sons of generals, or sons of ministers or assistants, they all sounded the same to Duan Yunfei.
In fact, Duan Yunfei had always been suspicious, why didn't the empress say anything about Mu Chuyang?
It had to be known that Mu Chuyang was at the age where they could discuss about marriage, and Mu Chuyang's identity was even more so, compatible with Duan Yunfei. Furthermore, Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang were childhood friends, so it would be much easier for them to talk about marriage than it was with other people.
However, Mu Chuyang was not within the empress's consideration, so he did not know what the empress was planning.
Thinking about it, Duan Yunfei understood.
The matter of Yuwen Di betrothing Duan Yunfei happened all of a sudden, and Duan Yunfei was only 15 years of age, but Sixth Princess and Duan Liusu were already at a suitable age, but there were no movements at all towards their betrothal.
Could it be that the empress wanted to leave Mu Chuyang with her daughter, Duan Yingluo?
If Duan Yingluo could be betrothed to Mu Chuyang, then forget about finding a good home for Duan Yingluo. Just by their status in the Jin Country, there were many benefits to the Fifth Prince's position in the.
Duan Yunfei couldn't help but sneer in her heart. As expected, the older the person, the more experienced the queen. As expected of the one in charge of the harem for so many years, even the Imperial Consort Yun who was deeply favored by the empress couldn't trip her. Apart from the support of the Mu Rong family, the Queen's scheming was the most important.
Duan Yunfei had once promised Yuwen Di that she would definitely give face to the empress when discussing the matter of marriage. Even after hearing so many names, her heart did not waver, but in front of the empress, Duan Yunfei could not show any signs of unwillingness.
"If that's the case, then Yun Fei will definitely meet these people one by one. If things turn out well, Yun Fei will personally go to the pepper house to thank the Empress."
It was just flattery from the mouth, Duan Yunfei would not let this matter be completed so easily.
Since she had explained it all to Duan Yunfei, the Queen would not stay in the Red Luan Palace anymore. After all, it was time for her to return and think about Duan Yingluo's marriage.
Duan Yunfei escorted the empress to the entrance of the Red Luan Palace, and only after the empress and her group had completely disappeared from her sight did she bring Xiao Yang in.
The moment Xiao Yang entered the room, he started to feel sorry for Duan Yunfei. It was not because Xiao Yang felt that the people the Queen was talking about were useless, but rather, it was because in his heart, Mu Chuyang was probably the only one who was worthy of Duan Yunfei in the entire Jin Country. But of the candidates mentioned by the Empress, there were all kinds, and the only one missing was Mu Chuyang.
If these words from the bottom of her heart were said, it would be disrespectful to the Empress. Although the people from Red Luan Palace would never sell Xiao Yang out, Duan Yunfei had always taught her to be cautious.
Xiao Yang was from the Red Luan Palace, so her actions and actions represented the Red Luan Palace, and represented Duan Yunfei's intentions. If these words were heard by someone, they would become their weapon against Duan Yunfei. This was something that Xiao Yang was unwilling to see.
Xiao Yang was just sulking, the only thing suffering was the Begonia that she was watering.
That Begonia plant was brought over for Duan Yunfei by Zuo Yuan the last time she entered the palace. Naturally, there was a better variety of Begonia in the palace, but Zuo Yuan said that this plant was from Dark Dun. Because of his longing for Wu Dun, Duan Yunfei decided to keep the flower, as he was afraid that others would not be able to take care of it properly.
"Girl, you can't be serious no matter how you try. If you pour the flower like that, I'm afraid you won't live past tomorrow." Duan Yunfei couldn't help but remind Xiao Yang when she saw his pouring water on the flower.
Xiao Yang was so angry that he forgot he was watering the flowers. Until Duan Yunfei reminded his, only then did Xiao Yang realize that her actions right now could be said to be a form of ravaging the transvestite.
Xiao Yang immediately stopped watering the flowers and apologized to Duan Yunfei.
