That evening, a banquet was held at the palace, and Fang Yuan also made an appearance among the royal family.
With her face being almost identical to that of the Prince of Jin, no one doubted her identity.
"Third Princess, I must congratulate you."
When Crown Princess Fang Jingyuan saw her younger sister's daughter, who looked so much like her, she was happy for her sister, as they shared the same father.
The royal family does have more children than ordinary people, but most of them are princes; very few give birth to princesses.
She herself only has one daughter, who was also pampered and spoiled as she grew up.
She just didn't expect that when the two of them sat together, Fang Yuan, who had just returned from the countryside, was more imposing, which made her very unhappy.
"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Princess. My Yuan'er has just returned to the capital and is not yet familiar with the situation here. When you have time, you can have your Xin'er take Yuan'er around more."
Fang Jinghan thought about the abilities her daughter had demonstrated along the way. If these people looked down on her just because her daughter was found by civilians, she felt there was going to be a good show to watch.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll definitely make sure Xin'er plays with her little sister more often in the future."
After Fang Jingning finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Yuan a couple more times.
A country girl who has just been found, let's show her the 'prosperity' of the capital. I'm sure she'll soon be able to raise a spoiled brat for her good third sister.
Fang Jinghan knew exactly what her younger sister was thinking, but then she thought about her own daughter.
How could these mortals possibly spoil the good fortune that girl has gained from the gods?
Didn't you see that she didn't even want the three handsome young men from the Luo family?
"I am in a good mood today. Now that Yuan'er has been found, I must make it up to her by arranging a marriage for her..."
Fang Yuan was listening to Fang Yixin bragging when he suddenly heard her name.
Turning her head, she saw that her grandmother had arranged another engagement for her.
"The eldest grandson of Minister Li?" Fang Yuan frowned.
In his previous life, this person apparently married the eldest daughter of the Crown Princess as a concubine. How come he married her in this life?
Seeing Fang Yuan standing there in a daze, Fang Jinghan assumed she hadn't heard him clearly and called out directly:
"Yuan'er, why don't you quickly express your gratitude?"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan had no choice but to step forward and express her gratitude: "Granddaughter Fang Yuan thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
Such is the helplessness of a monarchical society. Zhang Xiuzhu had never met this young master in her previous life, nor did she know anything about him.
Looks like I'll have to find out more later.
Hopefully, this young master isn't too spoiled, and he won't secretly fall in love with any young lady.
The family banquet ended with her gaining a new husband, Liu Yun becoming the king's consort.
After returning home, the decree to make Fang Yuan the Crown Princess arrived.
Less than two days later, the matter concerning Wang Cefu from back then came to light.
Fang Jinghan stripped him of his status as a concubine, demoted him to a lowly servant, and confined him to a secluded courtyard.
Before leaving, seeing Liu Yun, whom he had once falsely accused, move into Wang Fu's main courtyard, Wang Fu could hardly believe it:
"Why? Why were you able to come back? And why did you give birth to a daughter?"
Sixteen years have passed, and he never expected that Liu Yun would come back, especially with her daughter.
He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe he would lose so badly in the end.
"When you framed me, you should have thought this would happen, shouldn't you?" Liu Yun asked him in return.
Could he say that he didn't know he would ever return to the Prince's Palace?
All of this was thanks to his daughter.
"I shouldn't have framed you; I should have just killed you. Killing you would have been much better!"
"Shut up! Don't be so disrespectful to the King!" His two old servants quickly covered his mouth and took him away.
This is the young princess's husband; he and his daughter are now in charge of the royal palace.
That slut thinks she's some kind of royal concubine; she really doesn't want to live anymore.
Later, I heard that after this man entered the courtyard, he went completely mad, hugging a pillow and calling out to his daughter every day.
Fang Yuan only learned later that after this person harmed her father, she was worried about being discovered by the prince and in the end gave birth to a stillborn child.
No wonder he was locked up so easily. He doesn't even have a child. If he's not locked up, who is?
Fang Yuan looked at Liu Yun's trembling hands and asked, "Father, are you alright?"
She could tell that her father was kind-hearted, but this man was truly ungrateful and didn't deserve to live.
"It's alright, Father. With you here, and now that you've become the master of the Prince's mansion, things are going very well!"
Looking at his worried daughter, Liu Yun felt quite gratified and comforted her.
Fang Yuan nodded: "That's good. If there's anything else in the manor, remember to contact me and Mother."
She's now on the Empress Dowager's radar, so she doesn't believe anyone can lay a hand on her father.
Liu Yun patted Fang Yuan's hand: "Don't worry, your father still has to guard the palace for you."
With the return of Fang Yuan and his daughter, the layout of the Prince of Jin's mansion has also changed.
After Wang's concubine was imprisoned, the other two concubines who had given birth to sons changed their attitudes one after another.
Not only did he try to please Liu Yun himself, but he also sent his son to try to please Fang Yuan.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to go out to investigate, one of her brothers came looking for her.
“Little sister, I was thinking that you just returned to the capital and don’t know much about what’s going on in the capital, so I thought I’d tell you about it.”
Fang Qinghe looked at Fang Yuan with a gentle smile.
They were all men. In the past, the Prince of Jin's mansion had no sisters, which made outsiders laugh at them for a long time.
Now that the Prince of Jin's mansion has an outstanding young lady, if they just please her, Fang Yuan will support them after they get married, and that will make all the difference.
Fang Yuan smiled at his adopted brother: "I don't need news from the capital. How about you invite some young masters from the capital to my residence for a gathering?"
With this brother treating her to a meal, she could also take the opportunity to see the grandson of that minister.
Although she was the one who married him, she still didn't want to marry a bad one.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Fang Qinghe smiled and nodded: "Of course, our Prince Jin's Mansion hasn't held a flower viewing banquet for quite some time."
He immediately understood who Fang Yuan wanted to invite.
He was determined to accept Fang Yuan's goodwill.
"Oh, and don't forget to invite the second young master of the Luo family!"
Before leaving, Fang Yuan still thought of the husband her mother had found for her.
In the residence of Minister Li, the eldest son, Li Yunzhi, looked at the invitation in his hand, somewhat at a loss.
"Young master, this is an invitation from your future wife's family. You'd better dress up nicely."
The servant girl beside him was overjoyed, thinking that she would definitely be able to meet the young master's fiancée at the banquet.
I've heard that although this man came from the countryside, he is quite favored by the Queen, and he is also very handsome.
"I know, I just..." Thinking of her future wife, Li Yunzhi couldn't quite describe her feelings.
"Young master, I heard that she also has a fiancé in Yuncheng who is going there. You must not let him outshine you."
Although the servant's words were entirely for Li Yunzhi's benefit, they made him unhappy.
The fiancée returned with two husbands and one engagement.
Even if he marries into that family, he probably won't get a good life.
This is also what he is most worried about.
"Stop talking and go do your own thing!"
Li Yunzhi was displeased and directly chased the servants away.
At the Luo residence, Luo Wenzhu looked at the invitation that had been sent and knew that it must be Fang Yuan who had arranged the banquet. He also knew that Fang Yuan had a new fiancé, so he decided to dress himself up properly.
Since receiving the invitation, Vice Minister Luo has been sending gifts to his courtyard incessantly, making his other younger brothers extremely jealous.
The things these men did at home attracted attention in the surrounding area, but not much.
She is now with her mother, the Queen, at the orchard guarded by the royal guards.
Fang Yuan was puzzled: "Mother, the fruit has already been picked, why are the guards still so strict?"
The fruit trees in the forest had all lost their fruit, yet the surrounding area was still heavily guarded, which piqued Fang Yuan's curiosity.
