The extremely oppressive atmosphere was broken by this hurried voice, and the queen breathed a subtle sigh of relief.
After letting out a soft breath, the Queen softened her voice and said, "Let him come in."
"yes."
Xiao Changhai quickly stepped across the threshold and saluted the Queen respectfully: "I have met the Queen and all the princesses."
"Mr. Xiao, please show up." The queen raised her eyes, "Do you have any orders from your Majesty?"
When the air became quiet, Xiao Changhai smiled respectfully and said, "I heard Miss Qinglian's message that Princess Nanyang wanted to see me, and I'm here right now."
The color in the Queen's eyes dimmed, and she said with a calm smile: "Princess Nanyang has such a great reputation that even I don't dare to use Eunuch Xiao like this."
"The Empress can kill this slave." Xiao Changhai leaned over, "As long as the Empress gives orders, this slave will not hesitate to die."
That’s what they say, but it’s really just what they say.
After all, which concubine in the harem would be stupid enough to order the emperor's chief steward at will?
Xiao Changhai turned to Yan Li and saluted: "Your Highness the Princess, do you have any instructions for summoning your servants?"
Yan Li said calmly: "Please, Mr. Xiao, please go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion again and send a message to the Ninth Prince."
"Princess, please speak."
"The emperor of the south and the king of the north, the king of the east and the prince of the west."
Xiao Changhai pondered for a while, wondering what this sentence had to do with the emperor's marriage. He didn't know who the Southern Emperor and the Northern King were, and he didn't know what the Eastern Monarch and the Western Concubine were. However, Miss Yan was now the treasure in front of the Emperor, and he definitely couldn't
It's against her will.
So Manager Xiao quickly resigned and decided to personally go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion again - taking the rejected imperial edict with him, he relayed Yan Li's words to Ninth Prince Mu Cang word for word.
After hearing this sentence, Mu Cang's expression became visibly tense: "Did Yan Li himself say this sentence?"
"Yes, I don't dare to fool the prince. It is indeed what Miss Yan said herself."
Mu Cang's handsome face was calm, but there were some ripples in his usually indifferent eyes. He did not speak immediately and was silent for a while, "Give me the imperial edict."
Xiao Changhai almost thought he heard wrongly, and stuttered: "Wang...what did the prince say?"
"Imperial decree."
Oh, holy decree.
Xiao Changhai quickly took out the imperial edict, put it respectfully on the desk, and then respectfully excused himself, not even daring to ask more: "Did the prince accept the edict?"
After laying down the imperial edict, he turned around and left in a hurry, not daring to delay for a moment.
Emperor of the South, King of the North, King of the East and Prince of the West?
Mu Cang looked at the imperial edict of marriage on the desk, loosened the tea cup with his slender fingers, slowly picked up the edict and unfolded it, staring at the four words "Princess Nanyang" on the bright yellow edict, and remained silent for a long time.
…
After Xiao Changhai left, there was a strange silence in Fengyi Palace for a moment.
"Do you think you can get the Ninth Prince to agree to this marriage by pretending to be mysterious?" Mu Xue snorted coldly, breaking the silence, "What a wishful thinking."
Except for Muxue, the other princesses looked at each other cautiously, lowered their eyes and stopped talking.
As concubine princesses, they have learned to watch people's emotions since they were young. Yan Li's current behavior is clearly different from the rumors. She is not afraid of the queen, the princess, the prince and the princess. Regardless of whether she is really brainless or brazen.
Only because of her father's pampering did the villain succeed, or if she really had the confidence to win, they shouldn't be stupid enough to cause trouble for her at this juncture.
If she wins, the person who caused trouble for her will definitely be punished by the father later. Just look at the prince and princess who are still kneeling outside.
If she loses, the Queen will not thank them for adding insult to injury to Yan Li.
There is no benefit anyway.
And Yan Li looks too weird, so let’s wait and see what happens.
"Yan Li." The queen probably saw that Yan Li was determined not to take any hard words, so she had to soften her tone and said, "I know that the prince's breakup of the engagement has hurt you a lot, and you are still angry in your heart. As long as you agree to intercede with the emperor,
, I will make the decision to marry you to the Crown Prince as his concubine, what do you think?"
The prince's concubine?
Yan Li almost laughed. She seemed to have heard a big joke. She looked at the queen with a look that was three parts cold, three parts sarcastic, and four parts incredulous: "You want me to be the prince's concubine?"
The queen frowned: "I'm not a concubine, I'm a concubine——"
"The side concubine is also a concubine." Yan Li interrupted her, "Only the Jiang family's legitimate daughter outside regards the prince as a favorite, and I'm not blind. Not to mention a concubine, not even the main wife is possible, the queen
He really loves to joke."
As soon as these words came out, the queen's face turned cold to the naked eye: "Yan Li, why are you pretending to be noble? If you really don't even like the crown prince and the princess, why are you rushing to marry the Ninth Prince?"
"The Ninth Prince is the Ninth Prince. He is very different from the Crown Prince." Yan Li stood up and looked at the Queen with a downward gaze. Her voice was as cold as frost, "The Crown Prince is not worthy of being compared with him."
After saying this, she turned around and left without even the etiquette of leaving.
The queen's face seemed to be covered with ice, and her fingers wearing exquisite armor were holding the tea cup tightly, and she almost couldn't help but smash the tea cup on her head.
This damn little bitch!
She must cut her body into thousands of pieces and let her die without a burial place!
The princesses were silent and their faces were a little pale. They probably had never thought that there were people in the palace who were so bold and dared to be so arrogant in front of the queen.
Is Yan Li really stupid or not?
When she stepped out of the palace door, Yan Li inevitably met the eyes of Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue again. She looked at Jiang Jingyue in a good mood. In the past few days, the princess had been kneeling with the prince in Fengyi Palace to copy.
"Tao Te Ching", at two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, Jiang Jingyue's delicate body could hardly bear it, her body was shaky, and the pain was written on her face.
But she had to eat even if she couldn't bear it. Who made her the princess?
No matter how painful it was for her to kneel, no matter how painful her knees were, she did not dare to be lazy and endured the inhuman suffering while copying word for word.
Even the queen did not dare to ask them to get up, because once the news reached the ears of the emperor, it was very likely that she would not even be able to keep her position as heir apparent.
Jiang Jingyue had always dreamed of becoming a queen in the future, so how could she watch the crown prince's throne in jeopardy?
So she could only endure it, endure it with strength, endure the pain, and endure it until the day when all the suffering was over and the reward came.
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are truly a loving couple. They share blessings and share hardships." Yan Li said mockingly, "It's admirable."
After saying that, she walked away from Fengyi Palace in a leisurely manner, leaving behind two resentful people who continued to kneel down and copy books.
Bitch!
Jiang Jingyue cursed fiercely in her heart, but did not dare to curse out loud at all, for fear of damaging her gentle and pleasant image in the heart of the prince.
But she didn't know that no matter how gentle, considerate and affectionate she was, Mu Xiuhan, who had suffered so much these days, had no intention of looking at her. He was already dissatisfied with the Taifu's Mansion.
