My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 152 The Queen Mother is too soft-hearted

"The Aijia knows how you feel. Don't cry anymore. What are you talking about in front of your children?"

The Queen Mother felt the same parents' love for their children, and it was inevitable that she felt a little more fond of Wei Qionghua.

"I can't control myself, but I'm making you laugh."

Princess Min Jun stood up and wiped her tears, sat back down, and told her daughter: "Qionghua, make two of your best pastries, and let the Queen Mother have a taste of your craftsmanship."

The Queen Mother was really surprised now and said happily: "How can this child Qionghua cook now?"

Princess Min couldn't help but look proud, "Empress Dowager, I am not boasting, but Qionghua's craftsmanship is quite good. I have been thinking about it in Hengyang. When I return to Beijing in the future, I must make some food with my own hands to honor you, the old man. Woolen cloth."

"Okay, okay, the Ai family can't wait." The Queen Mother said with a cheerful smile.

Qionghua, a kid who used to have whips in his hands, now washes his hands and makes soup, which is really rare.

"Then Qionghua will retire first."

Wei Qionghuafu bowed and followed an old nanny to the small kitchen in the side hall.

She knew in her heart that her mother and concubine pulled her away because she had something private to say to the Queen Mother, and she also knew what she was talking about.

Seeing that her daughter was gone, the smile on Princess Min's face suddenly disappeared and turned into a sad look.

"Queen Mother, in addition to greeting you when I come to the palace today, I actually have something to ask for."

After saying that, she knelt down, tears filling her earnest eyes.

"Qionghua is [-] years old this year, but her marriage is still not settled. I am bold and beg the Queen Mother to grant me a good match."

"Okay, why did you kneel down again? Get up quickly and sit down to talk."

The Queen Mother stretched out her hands and helped the person up.

"I didn't realize Qionghua was so old." The Queen Mother said in a daze, "You are right, it's time to worry about her marriage."

"Have you and the prince never seen Qiong Hua before? Why has it been delayed until now?" the Queen Mother asked with a frown.

Princess Min Jun showed an embarrassed look, "I visited many people before and after, but they were all rejected. Qionghua's reputation..."

The Queen Mother knew what she wanted to say.

Indeed, with Qionghua’s past reputation, who would dare to marry her?Even if I get married, I can't find any good family.The Queen Mother twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and said in a deep voice: "You and your family have just returned to Beijing, so there is no rush for this matter. What the Ai family means is that it is better to hold a dust-cleansing banquet in the prince's palace first, so that everyone can see Qionghua's beauty with their own eyes. Change, and then take her to more banquets in the capital to spread the word about Qionghua's improvement. When the time comes, bringing up the marriage will get twice the result with half the effort."

Princess Min Jun's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Empress Dowager, you are very thoughtful. I was too narrow-minded before."

"You are so concerned that you are confused." The Queen Mother chuckled.

"As for the dust-washing banquet in the house, I wonder if the Queen Mother can go to it as a favor?"

Princess Min Jun thought about it for a long time and almost said this through gritted teeth.

Her heart was pounding at the moment, and she didn't even have the courage to look up at the Queen Mother.

For the sake of her daughter's marriage, she really sacrificed her face.

"Hey..." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "The reason why Qionghua's marriage has been delayed so far is always related to the emperor's decree. She called Aijia imperial aunt, and Aijia can't just sit back and watch."

Princess Min Jun's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and she said cautiously: "After I returned home, did you discuss the dust-washing banquet with the prince?"

The Queen Mother nodded, acquiescing.

"I thank the Queen Mother for her love and care on behalf of Qiong Hua."

Princess Min Jun stood up and kowtowed to the Queen Mother sincerely.

With the Queen Mother coming forward, who dares not to accept the banquet invitation?
As long as the daughter's stigma is washed away through this cleansing banquet, everything will be easy to handle.

Until evening, Princess Min and her daughter returned to the Prince's Mansion happily.

This "dust-washing banquet" is imperative!
Prince Yu's palace soon became busy. When Princess Min was drawing up the banquet list, Wei Qionghua was always by her side, giving advice.

Her eyes paused for a moment on the four words "Wenxin Houfu" written on one of the gold and red stickers, and then said casually: "Mother, concubine, I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for many years, I, the imperial uncle's official position, is getting better and better." Da, he is now a cabinet minister."

Princess Min Jun didn't understand which imperial uncle her daughter was talking about at first, but as soon as she heard "cabinet minister" she knew who she was talking about.

"Who says it's not the case? Mr. Qin is in full swing right now and he can be said to be the most popular person around His Majesty."

Looking at her daughter, Princess Min Jun's eyes showed pity, "Your cousin Qin He should not be underestimated. He is already a fifth-rank official at a young age and is a close minister of the emperor. None of the young talents in the capital can compare with him. Fuck him. It's a pity that he is already married, otherwise Qionghua would be more than enough for me."

Wei Qionghua lowered his head and smiled without saying a word, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
