Seeing Imperial Consort Xi unhappy, Yi Lan knew what she was thinking, so she said,""Sister, I think it's better to let Mu Qing marry Prince Bao. No matter how I look at it, I feel that these two children are a perfect match.”
Imperial Consort Xi was overjoyed when she heard that, but she said worriedly,"" I also like that child Muqing very much, but Hongli is a **." Imperial Consort Xi stopped here.
Yilan understood and said," With Muqing's appearance, it will be too late for him to love us. How can he blame us? Besides, we have to listen to our parents, right? As long as sister goes to ask for the decree, everything will be logical."”
Imperial Consort Xi thought for a while and suddenly smiled.""Yes." He then looked at Yilan meaningfully and said,"It's really hard for Younger Sister to enter the palace to pay her respects to me every day for this matter. With such care, those who don't know would think that Mu Qing is your biological daughter.”
Yi Lan was stung by her words, but she still smiled and said," You've raised him since he was young. If he's not your biological son, he's your biological son. Besides, your son and Yi Erha are indeed not on good terms. You and I have been through this before, so we can still see it clearly.”
"How would I know?" Imperial Consort Xi said."You didn't bring her into the palace for me to see.”
Yilan only smiled and did not answer. She stood up and bowed, saying sincerely,"I hope that elder sister can fulfill younger sister's wish.”
On the second day, Imperial Consort Xi sent someone to bring Yilan into the palace, saying that there was a joyous occasion and that she would explain it in detail when they met. Yilan was annoyed. Of course, she knew what it was about, but she did not understand why she had to go into the palace. Usually, she would send her father-in-law to the manor to announce the edict. No matter how unwilling Yilan was, she had no choice but to go into the palace. When she saw Imperial Consort Xi and saw her happy face, she smiled and said,"Sister, it seems like the decree has come.”
Imperial Consort Xi asked everyone to leave before saying,""That's right. I did follow Younger Sister's heart, but Younger Sister also has to follow my heart.”
Yi Lan heard that there was a hidden meaning in his words and sneered in her heart. She asked calmly,"What is it?"
Imperial Consort Xi smiled and said," It's all for the children. They want us to worry about them. Since Guarjia Musen is not in good health, let her take care of her for two to three years. During this period, she can't be betrothed to anyone."”
Yilan was stunned. She knew that her kind-hearted sister would not let her have her way. She looked coldly at Imperial Consort Xi and continued with a pleasant expression,"" I know what you mean. You just can't bear to part with Yi Erha, but why do you insist on marrying Mu Qing to Hongli? I also understand. It's just that your girl is in love with my son, so you want to fulfill her wish. However, there's one thing I don't understand. Even if she was raised from a young age, how can she compare to her biological daughter? I'm a little confused when you favor your adopted daughter. But don't worry, I won't ask. I'm not interested in knowing either. I only said that Mu Qing's birth characters match Hongli's best when it comes to the Emperor."I'm the one who took a fancy to him. But then again, my son took a fancy to Mu Sen. Didn't you say that they should get to know each other and see if they like each other? In that case, it's fine to delay it for a few years. You should teach her some manners and let her recuperate well. By then, it's not up to us if Hongli is still willing."”
Yi Lan saw that she said it so naturally, and the anger in her heart grew. She said hatefully,"What do you mean? Do I have ten daughters and have to marry your son?”
Imperial Consort Xi smiled brightly and said,""What's wrong with that? There are so many people who want to marry me. What's wrong with my sister? Don't tell me your daughter is wronged to marry my son?”
"Sister is still the best. You haven't changed at all after so many years." Yi Lan smiled bitterly.”"It seems that Prince Bao is really the best candidate to inherit the throne. Elder Sister doesn't want to go against his wishes."”
Imperial Consort Xi said," Sister, you're really muddle-headed. Fortunately, it's me. What would happen if it were someone else?" Instead of thanking me, you're acting like this."
Yilan knew that she did not have anything good to say, but she could only ask,"What do you mean?"
Imperial Consort Xi sat there and elegantly took a sip of tea. She said slowly,"" That's right. I won't go against my son's wishes at all. However, I still let Hongli marry Muqing for your sake. However, I can't let him suffer too much. Since you can't bear to part with Yi Erha, I'll let her stay by your side for three years. This is also because we have a deep relationship. However, a son is still a son. I know this better than you. You really know how to recognize a daughter. You're even a little similar to you. You even share the same birthday with your daughter."I don't envy you. The one I recognized is even better. It must be a blessing from my previous lives. I also know that my current status, glory, and the Emperor's trust and preference for me are all because of him. Even the former Emperor said that I was a blessed person. A mother is noble because of her son. Therefore, there is no difference between Hongli and my biological son. Even if there is any conflict between the two of them..."" I will also support Hongli without hesitation. Gradually, everyone will only remember that we are biological mother and son. My younger sister will be muddle-headed and can't differentiate between biological and raised children. You should be grateful for the reason you did this back then and think more about that daughter.”
Yilan's body trembled, but she still said calmly,"I don't understand what you mean."
Imperial Consort Xi smiled and said," It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It's fine as long as you understand it in your heart. Don't worry, we're sisters. I won't say anything. It's just that it's not worth it for Yi Erha.”Yilan looked at her coldly. Seeing her worry, she continued,"No one knows what will happen in the future. In the future, will Hongli marry her because he can't forget her? Or is it because she rejected him and hated her for marrying her? We don't know either. As her mother, I can't control whether it's good or bad for her. However, my sister is too worried. Our Hongli has the world in his heart. Perhaps by then, he might have already forgotten about her. For the sake of adopting his daughter, my sister has put her biological daughter in this position. It's really ridiculous.”
Yilan knew that no matter what she said, it would not change the situation. Even if she asked Yi Erha to marry Prince Bao, she would not agree. The reason was simple. She was trying to make Imperial Consort Xi side with Mu Qing by constantly using Mu Sen's illness and temper as an excuse. Imperial Consort Xi was doing this to give everyone more time to get rid of all the inappropriate things. For example, Mu Sen's temper could not be so spoiled and he should learn the rules. The key was her illness. If the root of her illness was cured, she would be happy. If she didn't go and her son insisted on marrying her, she could only follow. If her son changed his mind, it didn't matter. Anyway, she had to keep him now.
Yilan smiled. Her sister's eyes could really see through everything. Otherwise, she would not have hesitated to choose Hongli to raise among the many sons of Emperor Yongzheng, which was why she had today's status.
Suddenly, Yilan felt something cold sliding down her face. She reached out to wipe it, but there was nothing. Was it tears?
Why was she crying? Why did she feel so uncomfortable?
This was the result she wanted. She wanted to help Mu Qing fulfill any wish. Moreover, Gong E was willing to let Mu Sen marry Prince Bao. Because of this, we even quarreled and hurt our relationship. Now that everything was resolved, she should be happy, but why did it turn out like this?
She couldn't remember how Yi Lan left the palace or how she returned to the residence. She wanted to go to Gong Er immediately, but she was afraid to see him. To be more precise, she was afraid to see Mu Sen. Suddenly, Yi Lan laughed wildly in the room. Wasn't it wrong? He was wrong fifteen years ago. Would there be anything right after that?
When Gong E questioned her so directly, Yi Lan was also panicking, but she said coldly,"Didn't you want Yi Erha to marry Prince Bao? In a few years, if Prince Bao was still willing, she could still become his woman.”
Gong E couldn't believe his ears. These words came from Yi Lan's mouth. He was extremely disappointed and furious."How can this be the same? Now that we have rejected Prince Bao, will the feelings be the same if we marry Yi Erha in the future? How much love, how much hate, how much affection, how much resentment? I told you that he is a prince, a prince with the highest status. If you don't care about his dignity, what kind of attitude will he have towards Mu Sen in the future? As his mother, have you ever thought about it?”
Yi Lan felt extremely guilty when she heard Gong Er's words. She had not thought about Mu Sen at first, but she only noticed it after Imperial Consort Xi reminded her. It seemed that everything was too late.
Gong E paused for a while, then sighed and said,""Forget it. Since it's already like this, I'll go and ask for a decree tomorrow to let the two of them marry together.”
