"What?" The two guards squinted at Yu Manrou.

"Hmph, I don't know what to do!" Yu Manrou snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Yu Manrou had just walked a few steps when she suddenly found that she had forgotten to ask Feng Yuanchen when the mourning period was.

Just as he was about to return, he heard the sound of a group of people talking behind him.

"I heard that the emperor wants the county lord of Yongchen to remarry the martial king."

"That's for sure! After all, he is the only heir to the throne, and the Lord of Yongchen is deeply loved by His Majesty and the Empress."

"What do you know?" An older woman shook her head and said with disdain, "Let me tell you, in fact, the emperor originally asked the young lady of the Yuguo Mansion to marry Wu Wangdi, but who knew that she was still unwilling."

Several women on the side were curious: "Yes, yes, yes, I have heard of this, and now I should regret it in the Guogong Mansion, the opportunity to be the ruler of the country was lost in vain."

"Not really." The woman nodded: "But the little lord of the Shenghou Mansion is so small, it is a bit reluctant to marry the Martial King."

The girl who had been eating silently next to her suddenly laughed: "You are wrong, I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu is very fond of the Lord of Yongchen, and it is said that the emperor is ready to give them a decree to marry, but the two families have not made it clear."

"That's true, but King Wu also has a princess now."

"But it's coming back." The woman from before spoke again, "If you really want to marry our little county lord to the Martial King, then it is also Gao Pan."

"That's right." The other woman nodded in agreement.

"Why have you forgotten that the Lord of Yongchen County is personally sealed by the Holy Lord, how can this be considered a high climb." The woman who spoke first retorted, "If you want to talk about Gao Pan, it should be the King of Martial Arts."

"You're all foolish." The woman sneered at the previous woman, "King Wu marries a wife, where do you need us to take care of these trivial matters, when the day is over, we will go to the door to ask for a red envelope to be happy."

"That is to say, I scattered, and went back to cooking." Several other women quickly chimed in.

Yu Manrou was angry when she heard the words of those women, but she couldn't do anything about them, so she had to grit her teeth and stare at her.

"Qing'er, go home."

"Yes." Qing'er helped her and comforted her in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry too much, there are some market shrews on the left and right, how do they know anything."

"I know." Yu Manrou snorted coldly, but she still couldn't swallow this breath, her daughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion was actually talked about by a few shrews on the street.

Seeing this, Qing'er hurriedly changed the topic: "Miss, you said that King Chen is dead, why don't you let people enter the mansion to mourn?"

At the mention of King Chen, Yu Manrou was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly looked up at Qing'er: "You say...... Feng Yuanchen, would he not be dead?"

Qing'er was frightened, and quickly shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, but there is no need for the emperor to lie about this kind of thing."

"yes." Yu Manrou muttered, "Father also sent someone to inquire, Feng Yuanchen did have a knife wound in the heart, but if he is really gone, why is no one mourning."

Qing'er frowned when she heard this, and then said, "This, isn't the emperor too sad."

"Well, it's possible." Yu Manrou thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "Let's go home first."

"Okay." Qing'er nodded hurriedly and helped Yu Manrou into the sedan chair.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Yu Manrou was always uneasy in her heart, she felt that she might have missed some important information, but she couldn't think of where it was.

The sedan chair slowly stopped, and Qing'er lifted the curtain and shouted, "Miss, it's at the gate of the house."

Yu Manrou stepped down from the sedan chair, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she heard the maid hurriedly greet her and report: "Miss, master, please go to the study quickly."

Yu Manrou frowned slightly when she heard this, and walked quickly in the direction of the study, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she saw a man standing in the middle of the courtyard.

"Father." She snorted softly, "Is there anything you're looking for me?"

Yu Guogong stared at Yu Manrou with a gloomy expression for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand to let everyone in the room retreat.

"Manrou, I thought about it and thought I should tell you." After Yu Guogong said this, he sighed, "There is news from the palace just now, saying that the emperor intends to let Sheng Zhiyao marry King Wu."

"I know, I just heard about it outside." Yu Manrou nodded, not surprised, "Is this what my father came to me for?"

Yu Guogong shook his head and stared at Yu Manrou with complicated eyes: "Not only because of this matter, but also because of ......" He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to say it, "I think this is a good opportunity, if all the good things are taken by the Sheng family, then we are afraid that the road in the future will become very difficult."

Yu Manrou raised her eyebrows and asked lightly, "What does my father mean by this?"

"Manrou, you don't have to hide it from me, I already know that you did go to the Martial King's Mansion that night."

Yu Manrou's face changed slightly.

"Since you've already met the Martial King, you must have something in mind, right?" Yu Guogong asked tentatively, "Although King Wu has a concubine now, the emperor doesn't like the current princess, if you can marry in the past, you can still please the emperor, I think, you should have made plans earlier."

Yu Manrou lowered her eyes, and after a while, she said, "Doesn't the father think about whether his daughter likes it at all?"

"What if you like it or not? If King Wu ascends the throne as the new emperor, you have a chance to be the queen, are you willing to succumb to Sheng Zhiyao?" Yu Guogong persuaded bitterly, "Besides, if you can really help your father, you will also make a contribution, and you will be able to have a little more confidence when you enter the palace in the future."

Yu Manrou thought about it, she is now sixteen, she has already reached the end of time, and it is a matter of time before she gets married, of course she is unwilling to marry those children in the capital, although Feng Yuanchen is the concubine of the second prince, but his identity is embarrassing, without the help of his mother's family, if she can become the princess of Chen, then she can rely on her mother's power to win a place for Feng Yuanchen.

It's just that if I think about it carefully today, the blink of an eye in my childhood may not be like it, maybe it's just because of his difference, so let her look at it differently, after weighing the pros and cons, she is indeed very tempting to the position of the queen, one person is above ten thousand people, even if Feng Yuanchen is here, he will have to surrender to her feet in the future.

"Father, I see."

Yu Guogong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's good that you know."

"If you want me to marry, you can do it, I want to be a concubine, and I don't want to be a side concubine."

"Don't worry, this one absolutely." Yu Guogong refused without hesitation, "My Miss Yu Guogong's Mansion can't be the daughter of that businessman."

"But Princess Wu is already pregnant, wouldn't I be inferior to her if I marry in now?"
