Old Lady Feng could only calm her emotions and said to the Queen, "It is my honor to have Empress take care of my Iron family. However, there is one thing that cannot be mentioned."

The empress asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"There is actually a reason behind the matter with Yi Er."

"What reason?"

"Yun'er is pregnant, and both sides are already engaged. If we break off the engagement and marry the princess, people will definitely criticize us and affect the reputation of the royal family." The Old Lady Feng said solemnly.

That's right, Empress, you have a noble identity as a princess, your status is low, and you are also from a martial family. Old Lady Wang made up her sword.

"That's right, I hope that Empress can help me choose a new son-in-law for the princess." Old Lady Feng walked in a wide circle and finally said the key sentence.

Old Lady Wang nodded in praise.

The empress was dismayed. The two old madams had looked like black-eyed chickens just now, but why had they come to a united front in the blink of an eye? It looked like they wouldn't have a clue today.

They said that Princess Anle would listen from the front hall and that she would listen from the back hall. When the two old women refused, Princess Anle knew that they were unwilling to marry him.

An Le leaned on her wet nurse and cried, "What did I do wrong? Why do they dislike me so much? Even the Queen Mother didn't agree? "

"It's not the princess' fault, it's just that they're too scared." The wet nurse comforted the eunuch.

"What are they afraid of?" The princess blinked her eyes in confusion, but there were still tears in her eyes.

"Afraid of royal power."

"Then why is the Tung Hook not afraid of royal power and instead asked to marry the princess?"

"Because they are more vicious than the Dazhou. Your majesty doesn't care about such a wide area of land."

She was still very sad, if Iron family didn't agree to this marriage, then she would very likely be sent to Tung Hook to reconcile the marriage. The wet nurse said that there was nothing there, that everything was desolate, that people couldn't even take a bath and drink blood. The wife was the family's treasure, and the father was dead and the son was his son.

The atmosphere in the front hall grew colder and colder. Finally, the two old madams were chased out by the empress without anyone even sending them off. The Old Lady Wang bribed a palace maid who was leading the way, then she found out that it was because the Tung Hook was here to ask for the princess's hand in marriage. The Queen was looking at the scenery now, but actually did not gain any favor with the Tung Hook, and her family had lost their power, and was not willing to part with her daughter, so she anxiously found a home for her, but she did not expect that after finally choosing the Honorable Marquis’ Mansion, they actually dared to refuse.

In truth, as long as the emperor bestowed the marriage upon them, the Iron family had no choice but to obey, but since they said that Yun'er was pregnant, how could they do such a thing? If they had their eldest son first, then the pressure they would have to endure would be even greater in the future.

When Old Lady Feng and Old Lady Wang returned to the manor, they first rejected all the relatives who had come knocking on their doors. The two of them had gathered together to discuss this matter, what should they do?

"Let's get married to the Eagol first. As long as our legal wife enters the door, how can the empress force us?" Old Lady Wang had already thought of a plan, so when she asked, she immediately said it.

"But what if the emperor bestowed a marriage on us? We'll accept the imperial edict, won't we?"

"The Eagol has already married, could it be that the Emperor will allow the princess to live in our household as a child?"

"But according to our family's situation, he can admit to it. It's not too much to have three wives."

"Isn't that simple? If the order is really given, you just accept it. You can just directly send the princess to the second room."

"Your words are truly harsh. The emperor will definitely let the princess marry into his own concubine family. Isn't this clearly directed towards the direct relatives of the concubine, the eldest son?" Old Lady Feng gloomily said.

"Yun'er probably doesn't have any objections. She's the most docile, so I'm afraid that the granddaughter you've picked will be restless. If there's any trouble, I'll see if you can suppress her."

"Don't make it sound like the little girl Yue is being unreasonable. Right now, everyone in the mansion knows that she is the one who cares the most about the overall situation. If it weren't for her help, we would all still be collecting the fruits." Old Lady Wang scoffed at him disdainfully.

After discussing for an entire afternoon, the final result was that the princess occupied the main house, Lady Mu occupied the second house, and the Lady Yue took the third house. Everyone stayed at their own houses.

On the other side, the two old ladies had finally settled things with great difficulty, and the Princess Yingzhu didn't agree. She didn't know that the Empress was going to marry her cousin to Tie Yi, but when she paid respects to the Queen, she just happened to hear it.

"Silly girl, don't cry. If there's really no other way, mother will go to your Father and ask your majesty to bestow the marriage upon you. No matter what, you won't be allowed to marry into a marriage alliance."

"As long as I marry into the Honorable Marquis’ Mansion, my cousin will still be there to accompany me and I won't be lonely."

"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you. Stop crying. Look at your eyes, they are swollen. This damnable old woman really doesn't know how to appreciate favors."

"Muhou, y-that's my daughter's future elder. Don't scold them like that."

"This is all a waste of my effort to support you, my elbow is pointing outwards …"

Princess Yingzhu's face paled, her hands trembled non-stop. She didn't even know how she managed to leave the Phoenix Nest Hall.

Princess Yingzhu muddle-headedly walked to the Spring Palace. Noble Consort Guo was in the midst of urging the Fifth Prince to recite his words when Princess Yingzhu ran in like a madman and knelt in front of him and cried, "Empress, please save me."

Noble Consort Guo was very strange. On the first day of the first month, not to mention being surrounded by people, she waved her hands and let the wet nurse carry the Fifth Prince out.

"You get up first and speak slowly. What happened?"

"Empress," Princess Yingzhu couldn't help but sob, "Empress is going to marry An Le to Tie Yi."

The Noble Consort Guo asked curiously, "If she marries, then so be it. Although she is a princess, you are her elder in the house of the Marquis. She can't threaten your position, so what are you afraid of?"

"No," Princess Yingzhu shook her head with all her might, "I can't let her marry Tie Yi. Tie Yi is mine, he can only be mine."

Noble Consort Guo turned pale with fright, "All of you retreat, keep your mouths shut. If I hear a dirty word, you all better watch your heads."

"Yes sir!"

The palace maids all left.

Noble Consort Guo heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Fifth Prince did not hear him.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what punishment you'll receive for speaking like that?"

"I don't care, even if I die, I want to stay with Tie Yi. If I want to be his wife, I can't let him marry another woman. The Princess Yingzhu said cruelly.
