PDLP Chapter 345 Not Sincerely
Chapter 345 Not Sincerely
"It's amazing that the Governor is so sincere. But this marriage was so sudden. I didn't expect that the Emperor would be willing to make it happen." Yi Qianhuan wanted to test it out a little.
"The Emperor will naturally consider the two of you. However, this marriage is indeed difficult to arrange. As soon as the Governor mentioned this matter, Prime Minister Shen was the first to stand up and object, saying that Princess Lianhe and the Governor... You also know that the princess is doing good for the Yunzhao Kingdom, and the whole court is very concerned about the princess's marriage."
"Yes, I have also heard that the emperor intends to arrange a marriage between Princess Lianhe and Duke Du, but I didn't expect that Prime Minister Shen would actually care about such a thing. I remember that Prime Minister Shen and Duke Du seemed to have severed their relationship, so why is he still so concerned about Duke Du's marriage?"
The old man looked around and didn't dare to speak.
Yi Qianhuan gave a wink, and Liuli behind her handed over a heavy bag of silver.
"Father-in-law, I am sincere to the Governor. I want to get to the bottom of this matter just because I don't want to be a fool. If you are willing to do me a favor, I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future." Yi Qianhuan said slowly.
The old man smiled from ear to ear as he took the heavy bag: "Lord Guoshen is so polite! In fact, it's because Prime Minister Shen's sister was the former Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing is actually Princess Lianhe's biological mother..."
"But isn't Princess Lianhe a legitimate princess?" Yi Qianhuan remembered that Princess Lianhe was actually the Queen's child.
The eunuch lowered his voice again: "Empress Jing was unlucky. She passed away after giving birth to a princess. At that time, the emperor loved the princess very much and sent her to the empress to be raised. However, for so many years, Princess Lianhe has always regarded herself as a legitimate princess and has never dared to question her identity."
"Of course... So that's how it is. It turns out that Prime Minister Shen is worried about his niece's marriage, so he stepped forward to stop the governor." Yi Qianhuan said this, but still felt that something was wrong.
No matter how much Princess Lianhe likes Ji Chilian, Ji Chilian is just a eunuch in the eyes of outsiders. Why does Prime Minister Shen insist on letting his niece marry a man who is destined not to have offspring?
Yi Qianhuan couldn't understand it, but her father-in-law had already started to speak well of Bei Yunting, so she was not interested in listening any further.
After instructing Liuli to escort the eunuch out properly, Yi Qianhuan was thinking about what had just happened when he heard a call from outside the door.
"Mother!" Yi Mobao's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Yi Qianhuan's mind moved, and she turned to look at Yi Mobao, and saw Yi Mobao standing not far away with a frown, staring at her straight.
Although Yi Mobao didn't say anything, Yi Qianhuan could guess what he wanted to say.
Unlike Yi Mobao who was hesitant to speak, Shen Yubao was extremely happy.
He jumped into Yi Qianhuan's arms like a lark: "Fairy sister, I heard that the emperor has granted you and my father a marriage. Is this true? Have you agreed?"
"It's true, and I agreed." Yi Qianhuan still chose to tell the truth.
Shen Yubao's face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was so happy that he almost jumped up: "It's true! That's great, it's really great! Can I call you mother from now on?"
Yi Qianhuan saw Shen Yubao's cautious and tentative expression when she asked this question, and her heart ached for a moment: "Yes, I will be your mother in the future, Yubao."
"That's great, I have a mother, I finally have a mother!" Shen Yubao laughed happily at first, then her eyes turned red as she laughed, and she threw herself into Yi Qianhuan's arms and sobbed, "Wuwuwu, mother, mother!"
Yi Qianhuan's phoenix eyes also became moist.
It has been six years. Hasn’t she also said, “My mother has been waiting for me for six years!”
Finally hearing her long-lost son call her "mother", Yi Qianhuan's love for him grew stronger and stronger. She couldn't help but lower her head and gently kiss Shen Yubao on the forehead.
Shen Yubao was so excited that he cried and laughed at the same time, and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.
At this time, Yi Mobao came over.
"It can be seen that Yubao is really happy, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen asleep holding on to his mother's clothes." Yi Mobao walked over and glanced at Shen Yubao, and found that there was still a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mobao, actually this engagement..."
"Mother, you don't have to explain to me. Mother, I've said before that no matter what choice you make, I will support you." Yi Mobao sat obediently beside Yi Qianhuan and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I thought you were the one who could least accept this." Yi Qianhuan didn't expect that Yi Mobao would accept this so calmly.
"I really can't accept it! In my opinion, mother is a fairy from heaven, how can she be so easy to get by with those stinky men!" Yi Mobao said, looking up at Yi Qianhuan, and leaning on her again as if he had lost his temper, "But, I know that since mother did this, she must have her reasons, and I believe in her."
Yi Qianhuan's mind moved, and he winked at Liuli and the others.
Liuli took the imperial edict and retreated with the other servants.
"Originally, the emperor wanted me to get engaged to the second prince." Yi Qianhuan lowered his voice.
"The second prince is a prince... Is the emperor trying to win over mother?" Yi Mobao saw that Yi Qianhuan did not deny it, and couldn't help but feel a little angry, "This emperor is too greedy! Mother has never done anything to let down Yun Zhaoguo, but he wants to use marriage to tie her down!"
"Yes, so I naturally don't want to compromise."
"So, mother chose to get engaged to Ji Chilian in order to avoid having anything to do with the royal family?" Yi Mobao's eyes lit up as he spoke.
If this is true, then my mother and the governor are not sincere!
Yi Qianhuan thought about it and replied, "Yes and no."
Yi Mobao tilted his head, not understanding what Yi Qianhuan meant.
"I really don't want to have anything to do with the royal family. But if I have to choose, I think that person can be Ji Chilian." Yi Qianhuan said from the bottom of his heart.
“Mother, you, you couldn’t be…” Yi Mobao was completely shocked and murmured as he looked at Yi Qianhuan.
"Brother Mo, what were you whispering to mother about?" Shen Yubao woke up rubbing his eyes in a daze, staring at Yi Mobao in confusion and asked.
"Since you have changed your way of calling me mother, you should also call Mo Bao brother." Yi Qianhuan took the initiative to change the subject.
Shen Yubao was overjoyed. He was a little shy, so he pulled Yi Mobao's sleeve and called out, "Big Brother."
"Hmm..." Yi Mobao's mind moved. It was difficult to describe the feeling that permeated his heart at this moment.
Forget it, things have come to this, he believes that his mother has her own decision.
