Qin Yan Palace

Nanny Liu was a little flustered as she whispered a few words into Consort Liu’s ear. Liu Defei’s expression suddenly changed as she said,” Nanny, is what you said true?”

“Mistress, it’s true!” Granny Liu said worriedly,” The princess has already received His Majesty’s promise. He said that as long as the princess can make the general agree to marry her, His Majesty will bestow marriage upon them!”

“Ridiculous!” Consort Liu De shouted angrily, “I will not allow it!”

Yuwen Ling was her only daughter, and Jiang Zhennan was meant to be a jinx. No matter what, she would never watch her daughter jump into the fire pit!

However, Granny Liu said,” Your Majesty, His Majesty has already agreed to the princess. What should we do?”

Consort Liu said without thinking,” Of course, I have to go to His Majesty and stop this!”

At this point, she remembered something and asked,” Nanny, did you see

Jiang Zhennan when you went to the General’s Estate last time?”

Granny Liu shook her head.” No! But Mistress, this servant has already warned someone to pass the message to the great general, telling him not to have any ideas about the princess! I believe that the Great General is a smart person and will definitely not go against the Empress and the Zhongxin

Court! ”

Zhongxin Court was Consort Liu De’s maiden home.

However, Consort Liu De felt uneasy. She placed one hand on the table and gripped the handkerchief tightly with the other.” The benefits of marrying Ling ‘er are too great. I’m worried that Jiang Zhennan will agree to marry Ling er for the sake of benefits!”

Anyone with the slightest ambition would know that marrying Yuwen Ling was equivalent to marrying a powerful backer.

Because behind Yuwen Ling, other than the Emperor’s doting favor, there was also Consort Liu De, one of the four concubines in the Inner Palace, and her maiden family, the Zhongxin Court!

Jiang Zhennan was already a high-ranking general. As long as his ambition was exposed, marrying Yu Wenling would be the icing on the cake for his power!

However, none of this mattered. For Consort Liu De, the most important thing was Jiang Zhennan’s fate as a jinx, which would harm Yuwen Ling.

Consort Liu De could no longer sit still. She said to Granny Liu,” No, I must go to see His Majesty immediately. We must not let His Majesty bestow another marriage! ”

Three years ago, she did not succeed in stopping it, but fortunately, her daughter was smart enough to cancel the marriage.

Three years later, even if her daughter’s love were deep, she would stop Yuwen Ling from marrying Jiang Zhennan even if she had to sacrifice her life.

“Your Majesty, Consort De has been kneeling outside the door for four hours. This old servant is worried…” Eunuch Zhang said worriedly.

Yuwen Longyan sat in front of the desk without any expression. He said coldly to Eunuch Zhang,” If she wants to kneel, then let her kneel!”

Three years ago, Consort Liu De had quarreled and kneeled over Yuwen Lings refusal to marry Jiang Zhennan.

Three years later, she did the same thing.

He would never allow a concubine to change his will!

After Eunuch Zhang walked out, he saw that she had been kneeling for four hours. Her exquisite makeup made her look a little disheveled. Her face was also very ugly and pale.

He sighed and advised Consort Liu De,” Consort Liu, you should go back! His Majesty will not see you!’

Consort Liu De said stubbornly,” I know! However, if the Majesty doesn’t want to see me, I will kneel until the Majesty agrees! “These words were obviously directed at Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang shook his head and felt that persuasion was useless, so he lifted his feet and left.

However, he immediately stopped in his tracks and said to Consort Liu De,” Consort Liu, listen to this old servant’s advice. Instead of begging His Majesty, you might as well persuade the Ninth Princess!”

This was a reminder to Consort Liu that only the Ninth Princess could stop this. As long as Jiang Zhennan agreed to marry the Ninth Princess, His Niajesty would only bestow the marriage upon her.

Therefore, what Consort Liu De had to do was to stop the Ninth Princess’ feelings and actions. Only then could she stop the Emperor from bestowing the marriage!

In fact, he was hinting to Consort Liu that Jiang Zhennan would never agree to marry the Ninth Princess.

As for whether Consort Liu De understood it or not, Eunuch Zhang could not care more than that.

Moon Hall

Noble Consort Zhou was holding a small porcelain bottle and lying on the chaise lounge, She looked a little dazed as if she was deep in thought and struggling.

At this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps. She was shocked and immediately hid the small porcelain bottle.

Seeing that it was the palace maid Qin ‘er holding a bowl of soup, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said with a stern expression,” Who allowed you to come in?!”

Qin ‘er immediately knelt down in fear and said in a panic,” Please forgive me! This servant saw that mistress’ complexion wasn’t too good these days, and her spirit was somewhat lacking. This servant had the imperial kitchen cook ginseng soup for mistress to nourish the body!”

Noble Consort Zhou glanced at the things in her hands and said,” Get up!’ “Yes!” After Qin ‘er got up, she placed the soup in her hands on the table and scooped a bowl for Noble Consort Zhou before handing it to her!

Noble Consort Zhou had not been eating or sleeping well these days because she had something on her mind. Her face had become haggard.

Since it was chicken soup for nourishing the body, she took it and took a sip.

She said lightly,” This soup is not bad!”

This soup seemed to be even more delicious than before!

She watched Noble Consort Zhou drink the soup and lowered her head slightly. She looked pleased, happy, guilty, and flustered, but Noble Consort Zhou did not notice it.

“Imperial Mother!” Just as Noble Consort Zhou was drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Yuwen Feiye suddenly came over with an anxious expression.

Qin ‘er’s eyes lit up when she saw Yuwen Feiye. She immediately bowed to

Yuwen Feiye and said,” Your Highness!”

Yuwen Feiye completely ignored the palace maid called Qin ‘er. His eyes were filled with anxiety as he said to Noble Consort Zhou,” Consort Niother…”

“Ye ‘er, what’s the matter? Look at how anxious you are.” At this moment, Noble Consort Zhou drank a second bowl of soup, and her expression also appeared calm.

“Third prince, this servant sees that your spirit is also somewhat haggard. Why don’t you drink a bowl of ginseng soup?” Qin ‘er interrupted at the right time.

Noble Consort Zhou wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said,” Ye ‘er, this chicken soup is not bad. You should have a bowl too!”

Yuwen Feiye had no choice but to take the chicken soup Qin ‘er handed him and drink it.

He didn’t feel anything special after the first sip, but after the second sip, he immediately realized that the soup was indeed good.

After he finished the bowl, he felt very relaxed.

He handed the bowl to Qin ‘er and said,” Give me another bowl!”

After Yuwen Feiye drank the second bowl, he stopped drinking.

Noble Consort Zhou then asked,” Ye’er, what did you want to say just now?”

Yuwen Feiye thought of something important and said,” Mother, Father has promised the ninth princess that as long as Jiang Zhennan is willing to marry her, he will bestow the marriage to her!”
