Chapter 1008
Xiao Yong's eyelids twitched. What did "I'm afraid my mind has not been in the palace for all these years" mean?
What does Father know?
Hearing these words from my father, they seemed like casual chat, but each word was profound.
His maternal grandfather's family was won over by the Empress Dowager in her early years and played an extremely important role in her camp. His mother was also arranged by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, but she was not liked by his father.
In other words, apart from showing favoritism towards Concubine Li, Emperor Mingde was very cold towards other people in the harem.
In the past, the Empress Dowager had a say, and Emperor Mingde would listen to her and spend his days in the palaces. But as Emperor Mingde became increasingly assertive, he rarely went to the harem, and now he has no interest in even paying her a visit.
His mother was not favored, and his grandfather had been marginalized and neglected over the years. The Empress Dowager's camp had basically abandoned their family, so he and his sister Princess Yunlan had a particularly hard time in the palace.
They were in a dilemma. The Empress Dowager abandoned them, while my father thought they were on the same side as her.
I never expected that my father would actually let my sister and mother go to the fiefdom with him. This was an unexpected surprise.
If that day really comes, he might be able to carve out a new world for himself. Then, he won't have to be controlled by anyone.
Just my sister...
Xiao Yong looked at Princess Yunlan and found that she was also very happy, so he felt relieved.
Because of their joy, the brother and sister also became more enthusiastic towards Shi Anxia and her husband.
During the meal, the two men thought that Princess Haiyan and her husband might not know the dining etiquette, so they were prepared to remind them.
Later I saw that the two of them might have practiced at home or something, but their sitting posture and dining details were impeccable.
She looked more proper than the princes and princesses who had lived in the palace since childhood, so she stopped reminding him.
Xiao Yong lowered his eyebrows and ate in silence. He pondered the meaning of his father's words in his heart... If he brought his sister back to his fiefdom, he would not have to marry the second prince of Wan State, Bushi.
He was lost in thought when he heard his father asking about his sister's recent situation.
Finally, Emperor Mingde said, "I have neglected to discipline my children. It was my fault. Now you have all grown up and are of marriageable age. Let me ask you, do you have a man you like?"
Princess Yunlan blushed and hesitated for a moment, "My daughter will leave it to the emperor to decide."
Emperor Mingde was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "According to the custom of past dynasties, most princesses must marry off with foreign kings. Today, I promise you that princesses of this dynasty will not marry off with foreign kings. I mean, you and your brother should go to his fiefdom and find a suitable match there. I will not interfere in your marriage. I only wish that my children and people can live happier lives in their lifetime."
Princess Yunlan knelt down to express her gratitude, tears filling her eyes. "I am so lucky to be your daughter."
I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to marry that guy Booth.
She heard that Booth was unable to win the love of Yata, the most beautiful woman in Wan Kingdom, and ended up raping the little princess of the Vina tribe.
The Empress Dowager actually wanted to marry such a person.
When Princess Yunlan stood up, she subconsciously glanced at Shi Anxia.
Shi Anxia didn't raise her head, but she felt Princess Yunlan's gaze. She remained calm and continued to eat.
She was thinking, could it be that Princess Yunlan had a crush on Cen Yuan? Otherwise, why would she be looking at her?
