There he would make a marriage contract on behalf of the court between Sofia of Nassau and the then duke of Östergötland . The result was a marriage 1857 between the parties, who later became King Oscar II and Sofia. [ 1 ]

On March 11, 1859, Ehrensvärd took leave of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and employed until 1864 with farming on his property, Tosterup. During this time he was a member of the boards of Skåne Enskilda Bank and of the Skåne Mortgage Association and 1862-1864 Chairman of the Board of Ystad-Eslöfbanan , 1862 Chairman of the Committee for the Order of the Priesthood Income, and 1863 Deputy Chairman in Kristianstads County Council.

When the first countryman's secretary was formed in 1880 with Count Arvid Posse as Chief, Ehrensvärd received the offer to be included in this but declined. Instead, he was assigned the task of chairing the large committee for the organization of the national defense appointed by the minister, who drafted the proposal, which was presented at the 1883th parliamentary session. The proposal fell and with that also the Posseska ministries. [ 2 ]

On 25 September 1885, Ehrensvärd became Minister of Foreign Affairs (took office on October 26) after Carl Fredrik Hochschild, who had resigned after personal contradictions with his ministerial colleagues and a different opinion in the burning issue of a government reform. During his time as Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Norwegian issue and customs policy in the shotgrowth and the Themptan Secretary were criticized for pursuing a policy of excommunication that did not fall the most eager national customs protectionists in the taste. However, Ehrensvärd received some reforms: some changes in the Middle Ages Act, 1887, a new Consulate Act 1886, which took on the interests of the trade. However, the proposal for commercial attachées was rejected that year.

After continuing as a Foreign Minister under Gillis Bildt , he left the government on June 12, 1889, but continued as a riksdagsman until 1890. His last 12 years, he spent as a gentleman in Tosterup where he mostly worked with his library .
