Chapter 121 The Situation in the Court
"It's destined? Haha."
Hearing this perfunctory answer, Princess Xian became even more unhappy.
"If it was really destined by heaven, why were you in such a hurry to marry me? Why didn't you wait for heaven to decide a marriage for you? Who knows, a beautiful fairy will really fall from the sky for you to be your wife."
Princess Xian spoke in a sarcastic tone, then threw the book she had just snatched directly at her husband, snorted, and turned to leave.
But the wise king grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, okay, I said something wrong. I shouldn't have said that."
Princess Xian frowned and refused to look back, but just stopped.
"Lan'er, let them solve their problems by themselves. My son is already a grown man, but he can't even handle his own wife. How can he be my son?"
"You talk as if you solved the problem yourself." Princess Xian turned around and glared at her husband.
"Didn't you beg the late emperor for a long time and give my father a lot of good things before he agreed?"
"So you see, the most important thing is to do it yourself. If my son was as persistent as I am and shamelessly tried to beg for mercy, he would have found a wife long ago. Why would you have to worry so much?"
The virtuous king took the virtuous queen to sit on the couch.
"That's because we acted too late, causing An Qingqian to marry someone else. You knew they were not getting along, but you didn't try to get the emperor to issue an edict to allow them to divorce. Otherwise, I would have found a way long ago."
"Well, it's my fault. Now that they've divorced, there's a great opportunity in front of us. It all depends on what our son does. We can't, as parents, try to please our son's wife, can we?"
The wise king spoke slowly and in a soft tone.
He knew that his wife was not angry at his inaction, but at his perfunctory attitude just now.
"Tell me, why did the emperor suddenly agree? Didn't he disagree before? What happened in the imperial study?"
The virtuous princess became serious. Although she was doted on by the virtuous king, she was not a little white flower who knew nothing.
What happened today was really strange. She knew it was a good thing, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"An Zhenyuan and the emperor had a bit of a falling out. He almost forced the emperor to agree to this matter, and the emperor was also rejected."
The wise king had his eyes and ears in the palace, so he naturally heard about what happened in the imperial study.
The most important thing was that the emperor was very happy at that time and was preparing to reward An Zhenyuan, and almost no one in the imperial study was allowed to leave.
So there are many people who know about this incident.
"Will the emperor blame An Zhenyuan for this?" Princess Xian looked at the King in confusion.
A minister offended the emperor in front of everyone. How could the emperor tolerate such a thing?
"I will blame him in my heart, but I won't do anything to An Zhenyuan for the time being. After all, An Zhenyuan is out there defending the Ling Dynasty from the enemy. Although the enemies outside the Great Wall have behaved themselves now, they are just lying in wait. Once they get a chance, they will surely come back. At this time, even if the emperor is angry, he won't do anything."
Although the wise king did not take care of state affairs, he had a very clear understanding of the situation in the court.
"That's good, that's good." Upon hearing this, Princess Xian felt relieved.
"I know what you're thinking, but An Qingqian just divorced today. Even if my son is interested in her, he can't act rashly for the time being. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to both of our families.
The emperor can tolerate his subjects offending him, but he will never allow his subjects to collude with each other.
He was originally wary of us, but over the years, his son has been staying in Fuguang Temple all year round, and my power has gradually weakened, so he has relaxed his vigilance against us. We can't rush this matter."
The virtuous king held the virtuous princess in his arms and slowly explained their current situation in a gentle tone.
"I understand." Princess Xian replied sullenly.
"Besides, my son has come this far over the years, so there is no need to rush. If An Qingqian is really destined to be in our house, then this day will come sooner or later."
"Ah."
The next morning, An Qingqian, who rarely slept in, received a message from Lan Mingyue.
"Miss, Miss Lan invites you to go to Linxian Teahouse for tea tomorrow." Yingyi handed the invitation in her hand to An Qingqian.
"What time is it now?" An Qingqian took the post and asked casually.
She hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. When she opened her eyes, the sun outside shone into the room.
"Miss, it's three quarters past the hour of Si." Bo Yun covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
"Really? I got up so late today?" An Qingqian stared at Bo Yun with wide eyes and spoke in disbelief.
"Yes, miss, I just checked the time." Bo Yun nodded, indicating that he was not lying.
"It seems that the young lady can only sleep so soundly and without the slightest vigilance when she returns to her own home."
Yingyi was surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood. Perhaps when she was in Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, the young lady never thought that it was a place where she could feel safe, and she always remained vigilant.
"Yingyi, reply to Mingyue's post and tell her that I will be there tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss." Yingyi nodded.
Bo Yun sighed on the side, "Miss, it seems that the relationship between Miss Lan Mingyue and Miss is getting better and better."
Upon hearing this, An Qingqian chuckled and said nothing.
But she also felt a lot of emotions in her heart. Before, she and Lan Mingyue were secretly competing with each other.
This kind of thing continued until she got married, and then it stopped.
In her previous life, because of the persecution by Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi, she had been trapped in the Lin'an Marquis Mansion and had almost no contact with Lan Mingyue.
Few people knew about her, except Yingyi who happened to hear some things about her from the servants in the mansion.
When I started over again, the course of things had changed.
That time, in front of the door of the person from heaven, she saw with her own eyes Lan Mingyue deliberately making things difficult for Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi.
Perhaps it was because Lan Mingyue was not a bad person, but just had a proud personality, or it was because she couldn't stand people competing with her, so she was bullied by the little Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi.
It seemed that from that time on, whenever they met again, there was no longer the feeling of competition as before, but instead there was a sense of mutual respect.
"By the way, Boyun, did you do what I asked you to do yesterday?" An Qingqian sat in front of the dressing table.
Nothing here has changed, and the layout of the room is still exactly the same as before he got married.
