Chapter 1053 Still Happy

Wanwan didn’t understand the new Minister of Justice, nor did she want to know what was happening in the court.

But now that it's about the fifth sister's marriage, it seems she still wants to get involved.

Although she thought so in her heart, she did not open her mouth to interrupt Yuepin.

At this point, Concubine Yue shook her head again: "But his son Deng Yi is completely different from him."

Having said this, Yuepin paused slightly, as if searching for memories about Deng Yi in her mind.

"To be honest, I have only seen Deng Yi once, at a banquet in this palace. At that time, he was wearing a moon-white robe and looked extremely elegant."

"Especially when he stands next to his ferocious father, they form a sharp contrast. It is obvious that he is well-read in poetry."

Speaking of this, Yuepin couldn't help but be full of admiration: "That look, is indeed a handsome one, anyone who sees it will be attracted to it."

"So even though Lord Deng, the Minister of Justice, is extremely intimidating, there are still many women who approach him."

Having said this, Yuepin leaned forward again, holding her chin and looking in the direction of Wanwan.

I don’t know why, but even though she and Wanwan are a generation apart, when she talks to Wanwan, she always feels like they are of the same generation.

"I heard that this marriage was arranged by Concubine Lin. At that time, the Royal Concubine was still in Yong'an County and had not returned to the palace."

"On a daily basis, Concubine Lan Guifei doesn't really care about these things."

"I just heard that this marriage was finalized by the Queen Mother and His Majesty. Everyone thought it was suitable, so it was finally settled."

Having said that, Yuepin walked to the side, brought a cup of milk tea, and handed it to Wanwan.

In her impression, Wanwan is a child and should drink less tea.

"As for where the son of the Minister of Justice is working now, I really don't know."

Concubine Yue looked towards the door of her palace thoughtfully: "If you think about it, such an excellent person should be a match made in heaven for the Fifth Princess, and their married life should be harmonious."

Yuepin seemed to suddenly remember something and she stopped talking abruptly.

Then he turned to look at Wanwan beside him, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and then he spoke slowly.

But this time when she spoke, her tone was a little low: "It's strange to say, I always feel that when the fifth princess returned to the palace to visit her parents in the past two years, she seemed to have become a different person."

"The Fifth Princess was depressed for a while after the Sixth Princess's accident, but later on, she became a cheerful person."

"But it seems... it was two years ago! When she returned to the palace at that time, there seemed to be a hint of sadness on her face."

"Even her eyes no longer have the brilliance they once had."

After saying this, Yuepin raised her head and made eye contact with Wanwan who was standing beside her.

Then she sighed slightly: "Speaking of this, I can think of a reason."

"The fifth princess has been married for five years now, and still has no children."

"She has no children in the past five years. Maybe she didn't have a good life in her husband's family."

Perhaps because of this thought, Concubine Yue nodded solemnly.

Perhaps this is the only reason.

After hearing this, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh.

She knew that since ancient times, the princess's marriage was not always smooth.

In comparison, it is rare to have a happy marriage like the eldest sister and the second sister.

In fact, sometimes happiness or not is just a matter of one's own perspective.

In the eyes of outsiders, the eldest sister can be considered to have married down.

Didn’t Concubine De at that time keep mocking my mother because of this incident?

Even Lu Xinghui looked down on his elder sister.

Although the second sister suffered a lot when she was a girl, she was lucky enough to find a husband like Lin Zizhou in the end.

However, my second sister is also a very hard-working person and has made great achievements in business over the years.

Lu Xingwan did not talk to Yuepin about the fifth princess again.

But she knew that something was definitely not right with her fifth sister.

Logically speaking, how could the fifth sister become like this if the son of the Minister of Justice is so well-off?

There must be something they don't know.

Lu Xingwan secretly clenched her fists. She was going to check the situation of the Minister of Justice's family. She would never let her fifth sister suffer any injustice in this marriage.

If it really is a problem with offspring, Sister Qionghua still has a cure!

Just as the two of them were thinking about the Fifth Princess, a clear and loud sound suddenly came from outside.

"Mother!"

This sound indeed broke the slightly solemn atmosphere in the hall.

Lu Xingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked in the direction of the palace gate, and then asked Yuepin in a low voice: "Is the Seventh Prince back?"

In fact, Lu Xingwan was still a little embarrassed when she saw the Seventh Prince again.

But come to think of it, since it was the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess who did the wrong thing that time, if the two met, he would be the more embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Wanwan subconsciously straightened her back, like an elder, and sat upright, looking towards the direction of the palace gate.

Concubine Yue maintained her previous posture without moving. She leaned on the soft couch beside her with a gentle smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Wanwan couldn't help but feel emotional. After all, she was a mother now, and she was indeed very different from before.

Today, Yuepin's smile, as if bathed in spring breeze, adds a bit of lazy beauty to her.

I have to say that my father has a very good vision.

Concubine Yue was actually quite pretty. At least, she was much prettier than her half-sister Zheng Ling.

I think Yuepin’s mother must also be a beauty.

Yuepin turned her head to look at Lu Xingwan beside her: "Yes, Jinfeng is back."

After saying this, she and Wanwan looked towards the direction of the side hall door again.

As soon as these words came out, the Seventh Prince ran into the palace like a happy little deer.

Just because he ran so fast, his face turned a little red.

But there was a gleam of excitement in his sparkling eyes, making him look even more radiant.

"Mother, it's so lively outside today."

"I have never attended such a lively palace banquet before!"

"I didn't expect Princess Yong'an to have such a grand ceremony. She is indeed my father's favorite sister."

Before he even saw his mother, he was already running and shouting loudly, his voice filled with the youthful vigor that only a teenager could have.
