Chapter 575: If we can’t find the child in three years, does that mean we won’t get married in three years?
This rumor is unreasonable, but it can easily damage Lou Ruhui's reputation.
I don't know who was jealous of the Mingguang Marquisate and spread such rumors.
This was done on purpose to make things difficult for both the Marquis of Mingguang Mansion and the General of Zhenxi Mansion.
Although Lou Ruhui thought it was ridiculous and didn't need to pay attention to it, the Yu family had to take it seriously to avoid damaging Lou Ruhui's reputation.
The best way to clarify the matter is for the Yu family to quickly arrange a marriage for Yu Yongliu. Then, the rumors about the marriage with the Mingguang Marquis' Mansion will be self-defeating.
But Bai Xiaofeng was overwhelmed by the choices these days, and was also worried that his son would be unhappy. After all, his son wanted to find the woman he had accidentally offended at the Qionglin banquet.
Bai Xiaofeng also held on to the idea that maybe she could help her son find it.
But it has been so many days, and Bai Xiaofeng has tried to test her son's attitude several times, but he has remained firm and has not changed.
But Bai Xiaofeng was very worried.
If we can't find that girl within a year, will our son remain unmarried for a year?
If we can’t find the one in those three years, does that mean we won’t get married in those three years?
She is so worried!
Yu Yongliu, who was at the center of the vortex, remained calm and accompanied Emperor Jiazheng every day to handle official business.
Once, Prince Ying went to the palace to look for Emperor Jiazheng. When he saw Yu Yongliu, he even laughed jokingly: "...Is this the new number one scholar who won the sixth place in the imperial examination? I heard that he is discussing marriage with the daughter of the Marquis of Mingguang recently?"
Yu Yongliu bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, these are just rumors. I have no intention of getting married at the moment. This woman has a good reputation, and I don't know where these rumors came from. I am having a headache."
Prince Ying felt that Yu Yongliu was a very good boy. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and he knew how to cherish his daughter's family reputation.
After he returned home, he mentioned Yu Yongliu's response while dining with his family, and said to Princess Ying with a smile: "I think my brother thinks highly of the new champion, and the champion himself is also a man of integrity. It seems that the Yu family is really a place of great feng shui. If the girl from the Mingguang Marquis family is really discussing marriage with Yu Yongliu, it would be a good match..."
Before he finished his words, he heard a crisp sound. Prince Ying stopped talking and found that his daughter had accidentally touched the small cup in front of her.
Princess Qing'an let out a low cry.
The maid came up to help clean up. Princess Ying was worried that her daughter had been burned, but she saw that her daughter's face seemed a little pale: "...Father and mother, I'm fine, I just accidentally knocked it over."
Princess Qing'an excused herself from the table on the pretext that her sleeves were wet, and went to her own courtyard to change her clothes.
Looking at her daughter's hurriedly leaving back, Princess Ying frowned slightly.
"Ningning seems a little weird lately."
Ningning is the nickname of Princess Qing'an.
Prince Ying thought for a moment and asked, "Is there?"
Princess Ying couldn't help but glared at Prince Ying: "...How can you be a father? Ningning has been in a trance these days, can't you see it?"
Prince Ying shook his head in embarrassment: "Now that the princess mentioned it, it seems to be true. But Ningning has been demure and quiet since she was a child, and she is not the kind of person who jumps out of control. I thought she was thinking about something... Princess, is Ningning worried about something?"
Princess Ying didn't want to say much to Prince Ying. She just glanced at him, then stood up with a heavy heart and went to find Princess Qing'an.
Princess Qing'an changed her clothes, but sat in front of the candlelight in a daze again.
Her mind is now filled with what her father said, "The daughter of the Marquis of Mingguang family is discussing marriage with Yu Yongliu."
Whenever she thought of that night, she still felt embarrassed and aggrieved.
He felt hot on his face because the two of them were so close to each other at the time, but he felt aggrieved because, after what had happened to them, how could he still discuss marriage with other people?
But this thought only flashed through her mind, and Princess Qing'an also felt a little exhausted.
At that time, Yu Yongliu was obviously drunk, and he might not even know who she was...
She ran away in a panic at the time, so it's no wonder that others didn't know.
Princess Qing'an quietly defended Yu Yongliu in her heart.
But there was a tiny voice in Princess Qing'an's heart: So what if he knew, it was just an accident. Does she really want Yu Yongliu to marry her just because of this small accident?
Princess Qing'an became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but slam the table.
"Ningning?"
Princess Ying's voice rang out at the door, with a worried look on her face: "What's wrong with you?"
Princess Ying usually calls Princess Qing'an by her title, but now she calls her by her nickname, which shows that she is really worried.
Princess Qing'an calmed down, stood up, and almost forced a smile: "Mother, I'm fine..."
Princess Ying walked around the screen worriedly and saw that her daughter's eyes were red but she was forcing a smile on her face. She became more anxious.
However, no matter how Princess Ying asked Princess Qing'an, she still refused to mention it and evaded the question.
Princess Ying was really at her wit's end and could only take her daughter to visit Queen Nie.
Empress Nie was not only the queen of a country, but also a role model for their royal family.
Princess Ying thought that maybe Queen Nie could help her counsel her daughter or find out why Qing'an was so sad.
However, Princess Ying did not expect that on her way to the harem, she would run into Emperor Jiazheng and his newly appointed minister Yu Yongliu heading towards the Yu Garden.
Princess Ying quickly brought Princess Qing'an to pay her respects to Emperor Jiazheng.
Emperor Jiazheng was dressed in casual clothes, and he smiled at his niece, Princess Qing'an: "...I haven't seen Qing'an for some time. Qing'an looks like a grown-up girl. She's taller and prettier. Mingyi looks a bit like Qing'an. It would be great if she could be as pretty as Qing'an when she grows up."
Princess Qing'an whispered, "Uncle Emperor, you are praising me. Qing'an doesn't deserve it."
Princess Ying smiled and humbly said a few words.
Princess Qing'an was tense from the moment she saw Yu Yongliu, and she didn't dare to look up at Yu Yongliu. Naturally, she didn't know that Yu Yongliu was stunned for a long time when he heard her voice.
When Emperor Jiazheng learned that Princess Ying was taking Princess Qing'an to visit Empress Nie, he smiled and said, "The Empress has always loved Qing'an. A Yu just got into trouble. If you go, she will be happier."
Princess Ying then took Princess Qing'an and left.
This little episode seemed to have passed just like that.
Princess Qing'an forced herself not to look up at Yu Yongliu.
When Princess Ying brought Princess Qing'an out from Queen Nie's place, Queen Nie remembered something and asked the palace maid to chase after them and tell Princess Ying to go back.
Princess Qing'an stayed in Yu Garden to relax.
However, Princess Qing'an didn't know what happened to her. Her feet seemed to have their own consciousness. After turning a few corners, she actually arrived at the remote place where she and Yu Yongliu had accidentally met with the accident at Qiong Linyan.
