Nalan Xiuhui said to her son,"Actually, Mother has something to tell you."”
"What is it?"
"The Xuezhen Kingdom sent their princess over. Your father did not decline and agreed to let her be the chosen daughter.”
"Xuezhen Kingdom?" "Their country is weak. Are they trying to get the protection of the Jinliu Country through marriage?" Jin Yuqi was not surprised.”
"That's right. Your Imperial Father's meaning is that it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Taking the princess into the harem is beneficial to the Golden Gilt Country.”
"Hmph, do I have to accept all the princesses sent by other countries?" Jin Yuqi sneered and said. Then what am I? A tool for marriage?"
Nalan Xiuhui gasped and said,""Qi 'er, how can you say that? Are you blaming Imperial Father and Imperial Mother?”
" I've known since I was young that I have to share the same father with my half-brothers and sisters, endure the jealousy and loneliness, and resist the conspiracies all the time. Why? Just because he was in the imperial family. No matter how much glory and wealth one had, they would never be able to escape their arranged fate.”
"Qi 'er, mother forbids you from saying such words again. If your father finds out, he will be angry again. You are the Crown Prince, yes."
Before the Empress could finish, Jin Yuqi interrupted her."Enough, mother, I don't want to hear it. I'm not in a good mood today, so please go back.”
The Empress stood up helplessly and asked,""Princess, what will you do?"
"Are you afraid that I will kill her?" Jin Yuqi glanced at the Green Dragon Sword hanging on the wall.""Don't worry, my sword has always only killed those who deserve to be killed.”He thought of the assassin who had escaped. Where was this woman hiding?
Even if Chuxiu Palace chose a woman, they could not escape the guards 'investigation. Everyone was standing in the hall, their right arms bare. Female Official Chen was inspecting them on their behalf. All the women's right arms were clean and flawless, except for Murong Qingcheng.
After reading it, Female Official Chen asked in puzzlement,"Murong Qingcheng, when did you get this injury?”
Qingcheng appeared very calm." My lord, my daughter went to the Glowing Jade Palace today. She was scratched by the princess 'beloved rabbit. If you don't believe me, the guards can go to the Glowing Jade Palace and ask.”
Seeing how confident she was, Female Official Chen's suspicion disappeared.""Since that's the case, I will inform the guards outside. Once I have a clear understanding of the situation, I will naturally remove my suspicions of you.”
"Thank you for your trust."
Female Official Chen said," There's no need to thank me. All of you have to choose a female. If something really happens, I'll be responsible. You're just a woman. You can embroider and write, but you want to be an assassin? Hehe, how could that be? Moreover, you are the daughter of Murong Clan, this is absolutely true."”
"Oh right, Sir, I heard that I can see my parents and relatives today. Is that true?”Qingcheng changed the topic.
"After noon, this official will arrange for you to meet your relatives at Xifu Sect.”
"That's great!" Qingcheng smiled.
After Female Official Chen gave the guards some instructions, all the guards withdrew. One of them went to the Beautiful Gilt Palace to verify the situation.
Qian Yalan looked at Qingcheng in disbelief.""You're so capable, even the princess has become your shield!”
"So what? I even know Consort Ru Fei." Qingcheng said.
Qian Yalan was deflated." Hmph, what's there to be ashamed of? When I become the Crown Princess, you'll suffer."”
"Then we'll talk about it after you become one." Qingcheng replied. No matter who became the Crown Princess, she could return to her residence and live a carefree life.
"Sister, do you really know the princess?”Ji Minmin pulled Qingcheng's hand and asked.
"Yes, it was just a coincidence." Qingcheng said to her," By the way, I wrote down a few folk prescriptions yesterday. I wonder if they'll be useful for your mother."”
"Really?" "Where are they?" Ji Minmin perked up. Do you have it with you?"
What happened last night was a secret, so Qingcheng naturally wouldn't tell her. She only said,""Give me a pen and paper. I'll write it down immediately. After noon, I'll take it to your family and give it a try. It's better than being helpless.”
"Do you remember everything?" Ji Minmin looked at her in surprise.”
"Well, this is the only place where it works best.”Qingcheng nodded her head." There are many medical books in Huichun Hall that can cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases. I'll read them when I'm free."”
"No, you've already taken a risk once. I won't let you go again.”
Qingcheng took out the waist token that the princess had given her.""Look, I have this! Entering the royal study won't be a problem."
Ji Minmin was about to take a look when Qian Yalan snatched it away.
"Qian Yalan, why are you always so rude?”Ji Minmin simply could not stand her.
"I like to steal other people's things!”Qian Yalan was actually very confident.
"Miss Qian, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you lose the princess's waist token, you'll be the one who won't be able to bear the consequences!”
Qian Yalan looked at the waist tag and thought for a moment after hearing Qingcheng's words. She then threw the waist tag to Qingcheng and said,""Hmph, who cares?"
Female Official Chen looked at Qian Yalan and shook her head. The daughter of the Prime Minister was unruly and willful. Although she was good-looking and had a good temperament, she was really bad at dealing with people. In comparison, her sister, Qian Yamei, was calm and reserved. She was well-educated and knew her limits. In any case, in a few more days, when the lessons were over and the Crown Princess was chosen, she would be able to have some peace.
Qingcheng kept her waist tag, and Ji Minmin took out the Four Treasures of the Study. She wrote down everything that she had memorized word for word.
After noon, Female Official Chen led the selected women to meet their relatives. Ji Minmin met her father and asked about her mother's recent situation. She gave her father the prescription that she had obtained with great difficulty. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she wanted to give it a try.
Qingcheng's mother and third brother, Murong Shangan, came to visit her.
Qingcheng hugged her mother after greeting her brother.""Mother, I miss you so much!"
"Mother misses you too! Let mother take a look. Have you lost weight?" Mrs. Gao looked at her beloved daughter.”
Qingcheng shook her head." It wasn't hard. Mother, on the other hand, has lost quite a bit of weight after not seeing you for a few days."”
"Because you stayed in the palace for a long time, mother couldn't sleep or eat well every day. When she heard that she could come to see you, she was so happy that she got up early to prepare.”Shang An handed the bag in his hand to Qingcheng.""Here, this is the pastry that mother personally made.”
Qingcheng received it with both hands, feeling very touched.
"I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to the food in the palace, so I specially made more.”"I'll leave some for the two girls," said Mrs. Gao lovingly.”
"They are doing very well in the palace. Mother, please rest assured.”Qingcheng said.
"There are still a few days before the Crown Prince chooses his consort. Are you sure you can handle it?”Murong Shang An lowered his voice and said,"I heard that a lot of women have been rejected."”
"Third brother, don't worry. I can handle this little sister. After staying in the palace for a few days, he got to know the sixth princess, recognized a good sister, and even saved a palace maid.”
"Didn't you say that you wanted to keep a low profile? Why does it sound so noisy?”Madam Gao said.
Qingcheng stuck out her tongue and made a face.""Mother, don't you know your daughter's temperament? I just can't stand people who bully the weak. It wasn't my intention to leave them in the lurch. I just couldn't help it.”
"Mother doesn't care about your arrangements in the palace. As long as you're safe and sound, Mother will be satisfied."”
"Mother!" Qingcheng acted coquettishly.
Murong Shang An looked at them." Qingcheng, Third Brother might not have any other abilities, but he has quite a lot of connections in the palace. Do you want me to help you?"”
"Third brother, what kind of person do you take little sister for?”Qingcheng was displeased." Although I'm a girl, there are some things that I should make my own decisions about."”
"That's good, I was just testing you." Murong Shang 'an smiled.”
Madam Gao glanced at her son and said,"You can't grow up. You're not young anymore, but you only know how to wield guns and sticks. You didn't even find a daughter-in-law to come back and say that you don't want to get engaged.”
Qingcheng teased," Third Brother, hurry up and find a third sister-in-law. The princess in the palace isn't bad either."”
Murong Shang 'an jumped in fright,"Don't you guys gang up on me alone." Mother, I'm here to visit Qingcheng today. Why am I the target?”
"It's all the same. You're all my treasures. Sigh." "If it weren't for Qingcheng's strange illness, she would have long been a wife and a mother. She wouldn't have entered the palace to choose a concubine."”
Murong Shang 'an looked at his sister and said to his mother,"Mother, you're really worrying for nothing. Younger Sister had her own destiny and could not blame anyone. Moreover, in my opinion, the Crown Prince was a person of temperament. If he really took a fancy to Younger Sister, he might not treat her badly.”
"I don't want the Crown Prince to take a fancy to me.”"I'd rather marry a beggar than marry the Crown Prince," Qingcheng said.”
Murong Shang An said to his sister," I still believe what the state preceptor said. He said that the Crown Princess has something to do with incense. If you have incense on you, isn't it fulfilling the prophecy?"”
"What if there's a fragrance in the name?" Qingcheng retorted.
"There are many women with the word 'Xiang' in their names, but not all of them are qualified to be the Crown Princess, right? However, you are different. You probably won't find another person with incense in the entire Golden Gilt Country.”
"Actually, Mother has also thought of this.”"But it's because Yan 'er is sick that I don't know if the prophecy is ominous or auspicious!"”
"There is no such thing as perfection in this world.”Qingcheng said calmly.
"Alright, let's talk about something else so that we don't feel stifled.”"The palace hasn't been peaceful recently. Even the Crown Prince was assassinated." Yan 'er, you must be careful in the palace.”
"A few hours ago, guards came to search. This was the Imperial Palace. Who would be so bold as to assassinate the Crown Prince in the middle of the night?”Qingcheng asked.
"This stumps me." "Your third brother leading the army to war is not a problem, but this kind of mystery is not my forte." Murong Shang 'an said.”
"How is the Crown Prince's martial arts?" Qingcheng asked.
"Far above me," replied Murong Shang 'an. The Crown Prince's martial arts cultivation had only increased. His Green Dragon Sword would even make his enemies tremble in fear!”
That was close! He must have shown mercy last night. Otherwise, he would have been beheaded long ago. Qingcheng thought to herself.
