The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

"Sister Ming, you are here."

Princess Chun'an responded as soon as she saw Ming Huaixi coming over, and even took her arm affectionately. Yun Qinglian, who was standing by, looked at her sister-in-law's hand and wanted to take it away, but she thought about the feasibility and decided not to do so.

Ming Huaixi stayed with her for a while and talked for a while, then a maid came to invite Princess Chun'an.

"Princess, the people ahead are basically all here. Do you want to go over now?"

"Sister Ming, let me have someone take you to the front. I'll go tidy up my clothes first."

"Lan Yue, take Sister Ming back to the front first. I'll be there soon."

"It's the princess."

"Ma'am, please come with me."

Ming Huaixi followed. The maid took Ming Huaixi to the front yard and stopped paying attention to her, asking her to find a seat by herself.

There are so many people in the front yard, and their seats have been arranged. But the maid still left Ming Huaixi here, which was obviously an attempt to trip her up. Ming Huaixi didn't remember the crime she committed against this person.

But now is not the time to pursue her. Let's go back to where we were just now. Now that most of the people in the front yard have arrived, it means that the final person is about to arrive. If they are still waiting here, it would be inappropriate and they might offend someone.

In a civilized age, if you offend someone, at least you will lose your life, but in this place, if you offend someone of high status, it could be fatal. Ming Huaixi's first priority was to find a seat to sit down to avoid offending anyone.

When Ming Huaixi and the others returned to their original seats and sat down, they heard,

"The Queen has arrived——"

Helplessly, Ming Huaixi led them to stand up and pay their respects to the Queen together with everyone else.

"Hello, Queen..."

"Well, everyone, get up. I came here just to see Chun'an. His parents are not around, so I have to help. You guys have fun, don't worry about me."

The Queen Mother spoke to everyone very kindly, of course this cannot be taken seriously, it was just a polite remark, as long as she stayed here, then other people would not be able to relax, if they lost their manners, the daughters of the family would be implicated.

Maybe it will even implicate the officials in the family.

The queen also noticed the reserve of these people, so she just came over to go through the motions, said a few words to Princess Chun'an, and then left.

Princess Chun'an also greeted several high-ranking ladies, and then told everyone to do whatever they wanted.

Everyone is so reserved in front of me, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Let's just go away. This is just a housewarming party anyway, there's nothing else to do, so let's just have fun.

Princess Chun'an came to Beijing this time for the purpose of marriage. Princess Chun'an is now seventeen years old, but has not yet been married. Princess Cheng is a little anxious, but Princess Chun'an doesn't like Lingzhou's second male lead.

That's why Princess Cheng let her daughter come to the capital by herself. If she and Prince Cheng were not inseparable, she would never have been willing to let her daughter go out alone.

In fact, the reason why Princess Chun'an did not get married was because of an incident two years ago. At that time, she had just come of age and was full of energy and ambition, so she decided to travel the world and become a female knight.

As a result, due to her mediocre kung fu and her naivety, she was cheated before she even left Lingzhou. Later, she escaped with her own intelligence, but unfortunately she met another group of people.

In this way, she was taken to the bandit's nest near the capital and locked in a cellar.

Just when she thought her good luck had ended, she was unexpectedly rescued. However, she was in the innermost part at the time and did not dare to step forward. She only remembered the voice of her benefactor, but not his face clearly.

She has been able to clearly distinguish various tones since she was young. She can recognize any slight difference. No one can deceive her, so she recognized Ming Huaixi the first time she saw him.

At that time, she returned to Lingzhou with the money given by Ming Huaixi, but only her father and mother knew about this, no one else knew.

It was also because of this incident that she didn't really want to get married. Those men always reminded her of what happened at that time. Prince Cheng and his wife didn't force her to marry someone they didn't like. This time, it was the Queen Mother who asked about her marriage and asked her to come to the capital to meet someone.

Families in the capital city also knew that some of the big families did not want to have any connection with the royal family, and that some of the upstarts' family members might not be as good as others because of their background.

Before this, Princess Chun'an had been living in the palace. The Queen and the concubines introduced all the people from her mother's family to her, but Princess Chun'an didn't like any of them very much.

The housewarming party of the Princess's Mansion was actually because the Queen Mother wanted Princess Chun'an to meet more people and not be constrained by aristocratic families. As long as Princess Chun'an likes someone, she will be happy.

It’s just that Princess Chun’an doesn’t want to get married, but such words cannot be said in a place like the royal family. Otherwise, even if the Empress Dowager and the Emperor love her much, they will not let her do whatever she wants.

The Queen Mother just left the front yard. In fact, she went to the back with the princess first. They played in the front yard and did their own thing. Besides, the Queen Mother seldom left the palace in recent years. It was not easy for her to come out once, so she didn't want to go back so soon.

"Is there anyone in Chun'an that you like?"

"Your Highness, I do have a crush on you, but..."

"But what?"

The Queen was somewhat curious about Princess Chun'an's pause. Her niece had high standards and she had looked down upon so many talented young men who had been introduced to her before. But now she suddenly fell in love with someone. Who was that person?

Chun An went on to say, "But that person is a little young. Queen, I suddenly realized that I don't like people of the same age. I like people younger than me. I don't know if he likes me or not. After all, I am several years older than him."

"You like younger ones?" The queen was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it was true that the people introduced to Chun'an before were either older than her or the same age as her, and no one younger than her had been introduced. So, it seemed that it was no wonder that she didn't like the people before.

Princess Chun'an suddenly thought of a way to get closer to her benefactor. She saw that her benefactor had a younger brother who was a few years younger than her, but it was not impossible.

But Princess Chun'an suddenly thought, what if the benefactor doesn't like her? What should she do? If she had known, she wouldn't have been so quick to speak. It would be bad if she made the benefactor angry.

The Queen Mother here doesn't think there is anything special about a woman liking men younger than herself. Although it is not the mainstream view nowadays, as the mother of a country, her thoughts are very open.

"What's the big deal? If you like him, just ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage. Then we can slowly develop feelings for each other. As long as we spend enough time together and you are so beautiful, it will be natural for us to fall in love with each other."

"Royal Aunt, please don't tell the Royal Grandmother and the Royal Uncle yet, okay? Let me go and test the waters first. If possible, I will go to the Royal Uncle to ask for permission. If I can't handle it, can you come and help me?
