The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Lanqing Palace

The Sixth Prince hurriedly walked into Concubine Zhou Lan's Lanqing Palace: "Mother... Mother..."

"I have met His Highness..."

When they saw the visitor, the servants of Lanqing Palace knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Alright, alright...all of you go down."

Qian Wuye waved his hand casually, looking a little anxious.

She no longer had the interest to flirt with the young palace maids in Lanqing Palace as she used to.

When the door curtain was opened, a beautiful woman was seen in the hall, chatting with a girl who looked somewhat similar to her sitting next to her.

When he saw Qian Wuye coming, there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose that was shining because he walked in a hurry.

Zhou Lanfei lightly rebuked: "Ye'er, you are already so old, but you are still so reckless. What are you in such a hurry for?"

Although it was a rebuke, there was no displeasure at all, but full of indulgence.

Princess Mingyu also called out sweetly, "Brother Emperor..."

Concubine Zhou Lan personally helped Qian Wuye to straighten his clothes: "Ye'er, do you have something to ask mother?"

Qian Wuye's eyes swept across the maids serving in the hall.

Zhou Lanfei understood, but was even more confused: "All of you go down."

"Yes…"

After the maids have left.

Qian Wuye then got straight to the point and asked, "When the Royal Grandmother met Leng Xinmo, was my mother by her side?"

When Zhou Lanfei heard that it was related to Leng Xinmo, her face turned unhappy.

"Yes, I wonder what your grandmother thinks?

You actually asked for the imperial decree to confer the title so casually, and so did your father!

I went to see him and wanted him to withdraw his order, but your father rejected my request.

What else is there to say? Leng Xinmo has made great contributions in saving your third brother, and the royal family should reward him.

Humph, I have never seen His Majesty dote on the Third Prince!"

Qian Wuye frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Father is not doing this for my third brother, but for my grandmother.

On weekdays, the Empress Dowager seldom participated in the affairs of the harem.

In recent years, except for necessary palace banquets, the Empress Dowager rarely even showed up.

But in my father's heart, filial piety has always been the most important thing. Now my grandmother has taken a fancy to such a person for the first time.

Father will naturally not offend the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Zhou Lan snorted: "Of course I know, that's why I said that I don't know what the Queen Mother is thinking."

She had never had any feelings for the Empress Dowager, and ever since she married the Emperor, the Empress Dowager had rarely asked about state affairs.

He was quite gentle to these concubines and never made things difficult for them.

Thinking about it later, it seemed like the Queen Mother didn't care about anything.

He locked himself in Yide Palace all day long, reciting scriptures and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

She was also thankful that the Queen Mother did not like to meddle in other people's affairs and did not even ask for her daily greetings.

Naturally, these concubines also need to have some free time.

However, no one would have expected that the Empress Dowager could only leave Yide Palace twice a year.

Why did he suddenly go to the Imperial Garden that day and fall in love with that girl named Leng Xinmo?

Even more inexplicably, he directly requested an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess Mingnuo on her.

It was heard that various rewards were delivered to the gate of Prince Sheng’s palace along with the edict of enthronement that day.

Qian Wuye asked: "Mother doesn't know the reason either? Did anything happen in the Imperial Garden that day?"

When Zhou Lanfei thought of this, she became even angrier and told the whole story from beginning to end.

Finally, he seemed to be still not satisfied, snorted and said:

"Tell me, how could such a vulgar woman with no rules and no sense of propriety catch the Queen Mother's eye?"

Qian Wuye frowned deeply: "According to what mother said, it was not Leng Xinmo who tried to please the Imperial Grandmother?"

"Hmph, I wonder if the Queen Mother has become senile and confused..." Concubine Zhou Lan's voice gradually became smaller and smaller.

This also shows that it was indeed not Leng Xinmo who took the initiative to please the empress dowager.

Yes, that woman was so cold and indifferent, and she didn’t have a good face towards these princes.

He also ignored his father's concubines.

But why did the Royal Grandmother...

A light flashed through Qian Wuye’s mind...appearance?

The Queen Mother lost control of her emotions as soon as she saw Leng Xinmo. What else could it be other than her appearance?

but…

Qian Wuye searched his mind for that peerless and stunning appearance.

If you have seen it, it is impossible not to have an impression!

Qian Wuye was not the only one who had the same doubts.

Zhaoren Palace

"appearance?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Qian Wuheng's gloomy eyes.

Looking at the peaceful and quiet woman sewing a piece of clothing in front of me.

The woman did not look up, still quietly and seriously doing the work in her hands.

After completing the last step, the woman lifted the body of her dress, slightly opened her red lips, pursed her white teeth, and bit off the thread.

The woman stood up, spread out the clothes, and compared them with the man's body.

He nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, you can take this dress back home later."

There was a hint of warmth in Qian Wuheng's cold eyes:

"Mother, you don't have to do this kind of small things yourself in the future. Just let the servants do it."

The woman was Prince Yi, Qian Wuheng's mother, Concubine Feng Duan.

Everyone in the palace said that Concubine Feng Duan was the most non-competitive and peaceful person.

Even if the emperor had something bothering him, he would go to Zhaoren Palace to sit down.

Just stay there for a whole day, and all your worries will disappear, and you will feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

Concubine Feng Duan smiled gently and said, "My mother has nothing to do, so it's not a big deal.

Make two clothes for my son, and I will be happy as a mother."

Qian Wuheng didn't say much: "Thank you, mother..."

Then he asked, "Mother, you just said that the Imperial Grandmother asked the Emperor for an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess Mingnuo on her because of her appearance?"

Concubine Feng Duan turned around, folded her clothes, and put them on the table.

“Yes, when the Queen Mother saw Princess Mingnuo, she seemed to be in disbelief and lost her composure all of a sudden.

Princess Mingnuo did nothing at that time. If it wasn’t her looks, what else could it be?

The Empress Dowager has seldom left Yide Palace in recent years, and I’m afraid she may not even recognize all of you, the Emperor’s grandchildren.

Not to mention any women from the martial arts world, so how could the Queen Mother know Princess Mingnuo in advance?

The only explanation is that Princess Mingnuo's appearance reminded the Queen Mother of something.

Maybe it’s a person, maybe it’s an event.”

Qian Wuheng's eyes flashed: "This Princess Mingnuo said she was my third brother's savior.

During the time I entered Fengyao, I lived in my third brother's house.

He even caused dissatisfaction to his fiancée, Princess Liuyun, because of her.

But to the outside world, my third brother only gave her the identity of a maid and guard.

In fact, Princess Mingnuo was brought into the palace by her third brother this time.

I just don’t know if my third brother did this on purpose?

If so, what exactly does Third Brother want to do?"

Concubine Feng Duan had a gentle face and elegant temperament. She looked at Qian Wuheng and said softly:

"This Princess Mingnuo is not a simple person, Heng'er, you should not make an enemy of her for the time being.

Concubine Feng Duan thought back to that proud and cold woman, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, a sense of uneasiness.
