Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 503: The Engagement Has Been Broken for Three Years, No Need to Mention It Again

Ningyuxuan.

The emperor couldn't bear to see his sister living a lonely life.

So he spoke to An Ning.

"An Ning, your royal brother is right. If there are good candidates in the future, we will consider them for you."

The emperor loved his daughter An Ning very much.

So he also hopes that An Ning can live happily.

Besides, I left the palace with the young Prince Fu.

The carriage sent by the Li Mansion had been waiting at the palace gate early.

I bid farewell to Prince Fu.

"Li Wansheng, don't let the queen down."

Little Prince Fu looked at me and said.

His eyes were also dark and unclear.

I respectfully bow deeply to the young Prince Fu.

"Don't worry, Prince Fu. I will never forget your teachings and will never let you down."

"Just remember it."

Little Prince Fu didn't waste any words and rode away with Little Anzi.

"Let's go back."

I got into the carriage and gave the order.

Li House.

When I return to the Li Mansion.

Several elders in the mansion, including the clan leader, were waiting for him in the courtyard of the second house.

After all, his visit to the palace to meet the emperor was the top priority in the mansion.

Moreover, he had not returned from the palace for such a long time, which made them even more uneasy.

"Wansheng, why did you take so long? What did the emperor say when he saw you?"

Mrs. Li really cares about me.

She asked with concern.

I know that these people all care about me.

Since he has integrated into this big family, he will of course put the interests of this family first.

"Don't worry, mother. The emperor is just testing me. At noon, Concubine Ye invited me to have lunch at Ningyuxuan where she lives. I am accompanying the emperor."

Having said this, I can't help but sound proud.

Her lady still keeps him in her heart as always.

He has no regrets in this life.

"Did you go to the Empress's place for dinner? Or did you go there with the Emperor?"

Patriarch Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, Her Majesty has also invited the Emperor Retired, as well as the Third Prince and Prince Fu to accompany her."

I suppressed my inner excitement and spoke calmly.

Everyone in the room looked at Wansheng excitedly.

The meaning of his words...

"You...you didn't act disrespectfully, did you?"

Patriarch Li's voice was a little vague.

If he gets involved with these people, this child's future...

"Don't worry, Patriarch. I didn't behave disrespectfully. The Emperor and His Majesty are very pleased with me."

Although I drank a lot of wine at noon.

But he had been the county magistrate for almost five years, and he had developed a good drinking capacity.

He was still relatively steady when he spoke at this time.

"That's good, that's good..."

Only then did Patriarch Li finally put down the worry that had been weighing on his mind for most of the day.

"His second aunt, you are a blessed person."

Patriarch Li looked at Madam Li and spoke earnestly.

Mrs. Li was of course very excited that her son was successful.

"Thank you for the compliment from the clan leader. This child still has a long way to go in the future."

Mrs. Li smiled modestly.

"Then let's schedule the welcoming banquet for the baby tomorrow. I'm afraid the emperor has some important errands and needs this child..."

Everyone in the room understood what the patriarch meant.

I’m afraid the Emperor has an urgent errand and needs this child to do it.

Therefore, this welcoming banquet cannot be delayed.

"Also, the child's marriage..."

I heard the patriarch ask this.

Mrs. Li's expression was obviously not looking good.

"I need to discuss this matter with my child again."

Sent away Patriarch Li and his men.

Now, there are only Mrs. Li and I left in the yard.

"Your Highness, the marriage you arranged before..."

Mrs. Li found it difficult to speak.

"Didn't mother say that the marriage was no longer possible?"

I looked at Madam Li in surprise.

When I went to Cangyuan County to take up my post, Madam Li did arrange a marriage for him.

She is a young lady from a relative's family in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Madam Li's mother's family.

The marriage was announced to the outside world as settled.

In fact, it was just a matter of matching the two people's horoscopes, and Mrs. Li delivered the items that had been betrothed.

However, because I left in a hurry at that time, I didn't even meet that lady.

About two years ago, the family suddenly asked a matchmaker to come to their house.

They returned all the items that Mrs. Li had ordered in advance, intact.

The matchmaker said that the young lady of that family was unwilling to follow a poor county magistrate and live in that remote place all her life.

This incident was a great blow to Mrs. Li.

After all, the other party is a relative from her mother's side.

Mrs. Li felt very embarrassed that her child was disliked and had her engagement rejected.

So she just wrote a letter to tell him about it.

She never told anyone else.

So Patriarch Li and his people still thought that the marriage was still going on.

"Just now, when you were not back yet, that family sent someone from their house to come over and said they still wanted to renew the marriage..."

When Mrs. Li said this, she felt like she couldn't say it.

"What did the mother say?"

I looked at Madam Li.

"If it were me, I would have refused it outright."

Mrs. Li said bitterly.

She also inquired about that family.

The young lady in their family is a person with high expectations but poor skills.

Ever since she broke off her engagement with Wansheng, she has looked at many families.

But her marriage has never been settled.

The reason is naturally that the person she likes doesn't like her.

But she looks down on those who like her.

So after wasting these two years, she has become an old maid.

Their family must have heard that I have made great contributions and won the emperor's favor.

So they thought that the child had a promising future and wanted to continue the marriage.

How could they think so beautifully?

"But I was afraid that you might still have some ideas, so I...I didn't say anything final."

Mrs. Li felt that the family had some status in the capital.

It is possible that they may be helpful to one's future career.

She was afraid of delaying the child's future.

But now...

This child even eats at the same table with the emperor and the emperor emeritus...

If she were to say, it would be better not to mention people like this who look down on others.

"My son means that since the marriage has been called off, there is no need to mention this matter again."

I have never been interested in this marriage.

The reason why he agreed at that time was because of Mrs. Li's motherly love.

He also looked down on families like that.

"Mother, I want to invite Prince Fu and the Third Prince to the welcoming banquet tomorrow."

I got down to business.

The queen had high hopes for him, and he couldn't let her down.

Since the Empress has given him this connection, he must have good relations with these people.

He suddenly remembered that Princess An Ning was also having lunch with him at noon.

However, Princess An Ning is now divorced.

It was obviously inappropriate for him, an unmarried man, to invite her over.

"Have you invited them? Will they come?"

Mrs. Li looked at her son with sparkling eyes.

"Son, I'm going to write the post now. As for whether they will come over, I'm not sure."
