Thinking of her younger brother, who is almost thirty years old, he has been stationed at the border for more than ten years, working hard to maintain peace, and I don’t know how many marriage opportunities he has missed.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and returned, and the officials in the capital discovered it.
Duke Zheng, who was granted the title of Duke for his military merits, is the uncle of the current emperor and the younger brother that the empress dowager cares about.
He is a royal relative but a bachelor, a bachelor in a high position and with great power. Does it sound good to say this?
It doesn't sound nice at all, Duke, a real royal relative.
Countless officials were trying their best to send their daughters to the Duke's Mansion.
Unfortunately, the Duke was used to the extravagant life of being drunk on the battlefield and reviewing troops in autumn, and he was unwilling to marry a housekeeper.
I heard that the current Empress Dowager has repeatedly invited the Duke into the palace and has tried to persuade him to get married and start a family more than once.
People just have the ability to be hard-hearted and unmoved, but now, it seems that my uncle has set his sights on the second daughter of the Leng family.
Although she is called the Second Miss, she is still in her prime and is more than a generation younger than her uncle.
But it doesn’t matter, older husbands are more caring.
Family members favor family members. Princess Chunhua automatically made excuses for her uncle, and then she listened to what her uncle said.
"Who told you that I'm interested in the second young lady of the Leng family?"
Princess Chunhua: "Hmm~"
No, you didn't like it, but you came to remind me.
Glancing at his niece who obviously didn't believe him, he pointed out the truth directly.
"The one I like is Helan Yu'er, the young lady from the Helan family."
The young lady of the Helan family invited an unmarried young woman today. How could there be a young lady with the surname Helan? I thought about it but to no avail.
"Uncle, are you deceiving your niece? Where did the young lady from the Helan family appear on today's invitation list?"
The man turned his back to Princess Chunhua who was chasing him, looked out at the endless lake, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a calm tone.
"The mother of the second daughter of the Leng family is named Helan Yu'er, do you know that?"
"puff!"
Princess Chunhua was caught off guard and was shocked by the sudden news.
Unable to hold it back, the tea that had just entered his mouth suddenly spurted out, splashing everywhere in front of his eyes.
Some of the tea went into her throat, and she coughed so hard that she doubled over, her back arching.
The maid guarding outside the pavilion rushed in in panic, patting the man on the back and calling for help.
It took a while for the sudden panic to subside.
Princess Chunhua's inner panic had just begun.
She sent away the maid in the pavilion and rolled her eyes.
Finally, I cautiously tested the elder who opened his mouth and thundered, but his face remained normal.
"Uncle, if I remember correctly, the mother of the second young lady of the Leng family should be the wife of Mr. Leng, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. So, uncle, are you joking with me, right?"
Zheng Peizhi ignored Princess Chunhua who was trying to struggle with a forced smile.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Without waiting for Chunhua to reply, he continued.
"She and Leng Siqian divorced a long time ago."
Hey, no, even if they are divorced, we still cannot ignore the fact that she has been married and even has a son and a daughter.
It seems that my uncle is determined to get into the lady's tent and become her lover.
Chunhua could now foresee how furious her mother would be if she knew about this ridiculous thing.
She can still struggle for the sake of future peace.
"If I remember correctly, that lady is a few years older than my uncle. I'm afraid this won't be enough to silence the ministers' gossip."
Zheng Peizhi smiled coldly at this.
"The court officials are not concerned about the suffering of the people or the affairs of state, but are intently focused on the inner affairs of officials and using them to manipulate them."
"I disdain to associate with such a minister, and I believe that the wise men in the court also disdain to associate with such petty thieves."
It sounds like my uncle is so upright, and it seems that being greedy for a woman's beauty is also not what a gentleman should do.
However, Chunhua didn't dare to say much, but she couldn't help but feel a little interested in the lady her uncle mentioned.
The two separated, and Chunhua arrived at the banquet venue first. As soon as she sat down, she explored the surroundings.
I looked around but couldn't find the person I wanted to see.
He hurriedly waved to the maid beside him and summoned Madam Helan to come over for a chat.
The ladies gathered around Yu'er were more enthusiastic than ever before. They surrounded her and talked to her every word, and were overly attentive.
Yu'er couldn't stand it anymore and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Not long after we got out of the encirclement, we unknowingly walked to a sparsely populated area.
Coming to her senses, she looked around. The beautiful woman's face was flushed. As she looked around, she saw a man walking towards her from a distance.
She looked up, but saw that the man had a clear face and an unrestrained temperament.
It turned out to be an acquaintance. Yu'er felt relieved and stood there in a daze, allowing someone to approach him in two or three steps.
"Zheng saw her from a distance and felt that she was familiar. I didn't expect to run into her in the garden. What a coincidence."
The man looked at the blooming flowers and plants around him, thought for a moment, and said.
"Look at the flowers blooming today. It's springtime and the scenery is bright. It's a rare sight. Madam, why don't you walk with me and enjoy the flowers and scenery?"
Yu'er looked at the huge garden, turned her head and raised her eyelids slightly, her gaze meeting Zheng Peizhi's smiling eyebrows.
The smile and fire in his eyes caught Yu'er off guard and she lowered her long and thick eyelashes, and her eyelashes trembled.
She didn't answer, but just nodded slightly in response.
This small action was like a treasure in the eyes of Zheng Peizhi who was eagerly waiting.
The man stepped aside to make way, stretched out his hand to guide her forward, and Yu'er walked forward silently with her head down.
The two of them went together to admire the flowers, plants and trees in the spring garden.
At first, Yu'er was reserved. When the man spoke, she responded softly and didn't say much.
Later, they gradually relaxed, and the two of them talked to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
A relaxed smile appeared between Yu'er's eyebrows again.
"What a coincidence today! Could it be that you, like me, have also been invited by Princess Chunhua to attend the outing banquet?"
The man tapped his palm lightly with his fan, with a hint of nonchalantness.
He stopped, and Yu'er beside him saw him stop and slowed down as well.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Yu'er realized something was wrong and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it.
I heard a man's low, hoarse chuckle above my head.
"Perhaps it was the heavens that took pity on me, pitying me for my lovesickness, and having nowhere to vent it, and therefore arranged this spring outing banquet, hoping that Madam would have pity on me, wasn't it?"
Yu'er felt that this person's words were very corny.
His tone was full of resentment, as if he had been the cruel person who had betrayed his love and abandoned him.
As Zheng Peizhi spoke these sad words, Mrs. Mei obviously remembered how she had repeatedly rejected his visits.
Feeling guilty and unable to bear it, he simply turned around and left.
I just turned around and took a step forward.
The man who was ready to strike did not hesitate at all. He reached out and grabbed the snow-white wrist of Yu'er who turned around and was about to leave.
"Madam, can't you just have some pity on Zheng and cherish me?"
