What Princess Ning said surprised all the ladies at the banquet.
What does Princess Ning really mean by officially recognizing this harmonious daughter of the Shu family as her adopted daughter?
They thought they were just here to see Prince Ning and Prince Ning. At that time, they were curious when they saw He Li's daughter of the Shu family coming.
But I didn’t want this to happen again!
Everyone couldn't help but think of the rumors that happened some time ago.
However, they did not believe it. Although Prince Ning was a dandy, he did not indulge in women. Moreover, when Prince Ning returned to Beijing, the youngest daughter of the Shu family had already married into the Anding Marquis Mansion, and the female relatives in the deep residence were still in the palace. They all know that it is not so easy for their husband's family to contact their foreign husband.
Now that Princess Ning recognizes the youngest daughter of the Shu family as her adopted daughter, there is nothing more to say.
I also thought about Princess Ning's vow not to allow Prince Ning to take a concubine, and the stubbornness of the Shu family who wanted their daughter to follow her into the family tree even though she was pregnant and divorced.
They could understand and sent their blessings to Princess Ning and Mrs. Shu.
The purpose of today's banquet was achieved. Princess Ning was also very satisfied and ended the banquet happily.
On the way back.
I met Mrs. Qiao again. Mrs. Qiao still had a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes. She said sourly: "If I hadn't been talking to you at the door and met the princess, would your daughter have become the princess's adopted daughter?"
Madam Shu was about to sarcastically return, but Shu Yuwan stood up first and said humorously: "Madam, thank you very much, Madam! I will send you a thank you gift in the future!"
Mrs. Qiao became even more angry, tossed her sleeves and left.
Shu Yuwan said goodbye politely, which made Mrs. Qiao a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Shu said: "Whatever you do to her, she just doesn't like me!"
Shu Yuwan smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be more fun for mother to go out with someone like you to quarrel with you?"
......
On the other side, Princess Ning happily dismissed the banquet, and Crown Prince Ning came over and said, "Concubine, didn't you say that the banquet is over today and you will give me an answer after seeing Yu Wan?"
Princess Ning nodded indifferently: "I can give you an answer now. I have accepted a jade ribbon as my adopted daughter at today's banquet."
After hearing this, Prince Ning's face turned livid, and his eyes showed the anger of being deceived: "Okay, okay, this is the answer you said, that's fine, I just won't marry for the rest of my life!"
Princess Ning looked at her son's angry look and was unmoved: "This sister of the Shu family is a good girl, but she is not suitable to be your crown prince. If you marry a woman who is married to Li and has a daughter, you will have to live with her for the rest of your life. Being laughed at!”
"I do not mind!!!"
"I care!" Princess Ning said angrily.
"Do you really think your father is the only son?"
"He is also hiding an illegitimate son in Yangzhou! If you marry a woman of such status, even the royal family will look down on you. In the future, your father will have something to prove when he wants to entrust the illegitimate son to inherit the throne."
Prince Ning was very shocked. He actually had a younger brother who was a foreign concubine. At the same time, he felt normal. In recent years, his father had shown mercy everywhere, and his mother and concubine followed behind and killed him. His father deliberately concealed it and omitted some things. , seems to be normal.
At that time, he swore that in his life, he would never be like his father. Only Yuwan was enough. If he married her, he would never let her down.
But now, he seems to have no such opportunity: "I don't care about the position of the prince!"
Prince Ning turned and left.
Only Princess Ning was left behind and said: "You don't care? Do you think that if an outsider inherits the throne, you, the main wife, will have a way to survive?"
Prince Ning left Prince Ning's Mansion and wandered outside for a long time, and finally came to Shu Yuwan's small courtyard.
Shu Yuwan heard Qingdai report for the third time that Prince Ning was wandering outside the door.
He led Qingdai and others to open the gate of the small courtyard.
Prince Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Shu Yuwan.
Shu Yuwan bowed: "Your Majesty."
"But what does Princess Ning have to say? Can I ask the prince to deliver it?"
Prince Ning shook his head: "Miss Shu, I came here to ask you..."
Shu Yuwan interrupted: "Since the princess has something to convey, my sworn brother please come in quickly."
Prince Ning stopped talking and knew that the door was not the place to talk, so he followed Shu Yuwan into the small courtyard.
After entering the door, Shu Yuwan's face turned cold. When they came to the hall, the others had retreated, leaving only Qingdai and other confidants around. Shu Yuwan said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you know that I am with you?" For a divorced woman like this, my reputation will only get worse and worse."
Ning Shizi had just become more awake at this moment, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just found out today that my mother-in-law adopted you as my adopted daughter, and I felt a little out of control for a while."
"It is an honor for me to be the adopted daughter of the princess."
"But, but, I can't marry you..."
Although Prince Ning's behavior was against the rules, Shu Yuwan was also surprised by Prince Ning's confession, but she could also see that Prince Ning was very sad. She had no such feelings for Prince Ning, and she didn't know why Prince Ning Wanting to marry her to a harmonious woman, he asked, "Your Majesty, why do you want to marry me?"
Prince Ning smiled bitterly: "It seems you don't remember me at all."
"Do you still remember the young man named Xiao Sheng you met by the moat during the Lantern Festival one year?"
After hearing Prince Ning's words, a vague memory flooded into Shu Yuwan's mind. When she was about twelve or thirteen years old, one year she went out to watch the lanterns with her two brothers, and met a young man who wanted to commit suicide by the moat. , she persuaded the young man.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Crown Prince Ning in front of her, Shu Yuwan asked, "Is the Crown Prince that young man?"
"Exactly!" Prince Ning was very happy to see Shu Yuwan remembering it.
Explaining the situation at that time: "Back then, my father fell in love with a girl named Chunxiu, secretly raising her outside, and she was pregnant. When my mother and concubine found out, she went over to kill the girl. My father wanted to kill my mother and concubine. He and I sacrificed our lives for his beloved woman. The guards around me took me out of the palace. At that time, I couldn't figure out why my father, the queen, my mother and my concubine were making such troubles all the time. My father would have killed me if it weren't for it. You, I may have plunged into the moat at that time, but later I remembered you. But later, I was sent to Qingzhou by my mother-in-law, and we were separated for many years. Although I often paid attention to your news, the journey was far away and the news passed It wasn't in time. I didn't know until you got married. I thought I had no luck in this life, but you lived a good life and I was also very happy. But An San didn't know how to cherish it and regarded pearls as fish eyes. "
"But it also gives me a chance. I want to marry you and be able to protect you in the future. I don't care what others think or think. I will love Yue'er as my own daughter. To me, you Your daughter is my daughter.”
"W-are you willing?"
