I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

"To tell you the truth, Luo Nianxi was going to fire you, but I saved you. If you don't do something for me, how can I protect you in the future? Besides, I might enter the palace someday, so you better hurry up and show your ability!"

Xiao Cui rolled her eyes and nodded seriously.

"Okay, I will obey you in everything."

Leng Rujing then waved at her. Xiao Cui clenched her hands, quickly stood up, turned around, and stepped back.

Mo Xiaowan met Xiaocui at the door. Xiaocui didn't dare to look up. She glanced at her and came to Leng Rujing with her handkerchief swung.

"What tricks are you going to use again?"

Leng Rujing rolled her eyes at her.

"What do you mean?"

Mo Xiaowan sat down beside her and poured herself a cup of tea.

"You called this girl here, it must be something bad."

"You are so smart..."

"Okay, let's not talk about her. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have to go home in the afternoon and go to the palace with my father tomorrow. What about you? Do you want to go back to the palace early?"

"No."

Leng Rujing immediately shook her head and refused.

"I will go with my fourth brother and the others tomorrow."

"Will Brother Yan go too?"

"Of course, how could Luo Nianxi not go to such a prominent event..."

Before she finished her words, Leng Yifei came over with a swagger.

"Rujing, Sister Xiaowan, long time no see..."

When she saw him, Xiaowan's brows instantly twisted into a knot, while Leng Rujing looked at him helplessly.

"Third brother, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't you stay at home and prepare for it? What are you doing here?"

Leng Yifei pulled a stool and sat next to Mo Xiaowan, took the paper bag in his hand, and said in a flattering manner:

"Sister Xiaowan, I passed by a pastry shop when I came here just now, and I bought some sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you..."

Mo Xiaowan frowned in disdain.

"This thing is too sweet. I don't like it. Take it away."

Leng Rujing generously reached out and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Xiao Wan doesn't like me, but I like..."

“This is not for you.”

"But Xiaowan doesn't like sweet food."

"Why doesn't she like it? Last time I heard her say that she likes sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, so why doesn't she like the ones I bought? Sister Xiaowan, do you really hate sweet things, or do you hate them because I bought them?"

There was helplessness in Mo Xiaowan's eyes.

"Leng Yifei, because I hate you, I hate everything you buy."

This……

Leng Rujing almost choked on the cake she was eating, but Leng Yifei smiled without caring.

"It's okay. I will make sure you don't hate me. Sister Xiaowan, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to give you a big surprise."

Mo Xiaowan looked at him with fear in her eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

Leng Yifei raised his head proudly.

"It's a secret. I'll tell you tomorrow."

Mo Xiaowan suddenly had a bad feeling. She glared at him with her pretty eyes and pointed at him angrily to warn him.

"Leng Yifei, I'm telling you, don't touch my bottom line, or I'll make you regret it."

"Sister Xiaowan, I really like you. I swear, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I know you like Leng Yiyan, but he is already married. If you follow me, you will be the principal wife of my Prince Duan's Mansion. This is not wronging you!"

"Stop talking."

Mo Xiaowan suddenly stared at Leng Yifei and asked,

"Did you ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage?"

"I……"

Leng Yifei was speechless for a moment, he didn't dare to tell the truth.

From his evasive eyes, Mo Xiaowan already knew that she guessed right.

She immediately stood up in a rage, shaking her head in grief.

"Leng Yifei, if you dare to make this request, I will die in front of you. I will hang myself in front of the emperor. If you don't believe me, just try it."

"Sister Xiaowan, don't scare me. I really like you and I will treat you well."

"I don't need it, I don't need it, Leng Yifei, I beg you, don't let the emperor grant me a marriage, I don't want to get married yet."

Leng Yifei had a sad face and nodded with a melancholy expression.

"Okay, actually... I haven't told my father yet. I just wanted to test you. I didn't expect you to have such a strong reaction. Sister Xiaowan, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, he looked at Leng Rujing again.

"I heard that in order to calm the relationship between Pingyang and Northern Chu, the emperor will issue an order tomorrow for you to marry. You...be prepared!"

"what?"

Leng Rujing, who had just been watching the fun, stood up from her chair.

She looked at Leng Yifei in astonishment.

"Third brother, where did you hear that?"

"I went to the palace this morning and heard from my mother that she had been crying for three days and three nights, but my father didn't seem to be willing to give in..."

Leng Rujing's face turned pale in an instant. She sat weakly on the chair. Mo Xiaowan came over to comfort her.

"Rujing, this matter has not been finalized yet, don't get excited yet, maybe there will be some easing."

Leng Yifei shook his head and sighed at an inappropriate time.

"The possibility of easing relations is not great, but it is said that the little prince of Northern Chu is two years younger than Jing. The two countries should first arrange the marriage, and then the little prince can get married one year later when he turns eighteen."

Ha ha……

Leng Rujing suddenly let out a sad smile.

"I always thought that my father loved me, but I didn't expect that he would still use me. This is really ridiculous."

"Rujing, this is not actually exploitation. If the two countries cease fighting because of your marriage, it can be considered a good thing."

Mo Xiaowan glared at Leng Yifei hatefully and yelled at him.

"Just go away! Don't add fuel to the fire."

Leng Yifei frowned and said softly to Mo Xiaowan:

"Sister Xiaowan, I hope you will consider our relationship. You are not young anymore, it is time for you to get married."

After leaving these words, he was afraid that Mo Xiaowan would scold him again, so he ran away in a hurry.

Mo Xiaowan glared at his back angrily, and then she gently advised Leng Rujing:

"He just heard it from someone else. It may not be true. Don't be sad."

Leng Rujing laughed at herself, her smile was uglier than crying.

"Xiao Wan, did you see that? This is the royal family, the ruthless royal family. I'm actually really envious of you now. You can like whoever you want, and you won't be forced by your family to marry far away."

"Ru Jing..."

Mo Xiaowan didn't know how to comfort her.

"Northern Chu is a long way from Pingyang. I may not be able to come back in this lifetime..."

After saying these words that made her despair, she suddenly started to cry...

In the afternoon, Mo Xiaowan was picked up by the people from the Mo Mansion to prepare for going to the palace for a banquet the next day. Leng Rujing was in a bad mood the whole afternoon. She asked the servants to bring her a pot of wine and started drinking by herself.

Until dusk, she was staggering to go out, and Ye Zi hurried forward to stop her.

"Princess, where are you going so late?"

"Don't follow me. Leave me alone."

"Princess, where are you going?"

"Get out of here! If anyone follows me again, I'll chop off your head."

Ye Zi took two steps back helplessly, and the other girls did not dare to step forward.

Leng Rujing didn’t know where she was going, she just wanted to go out and get some fresh air, she felt like she was suffocating.

When she arrived at the main courtyard, she suddenly saw Guo Wei walking by not far away. Under the influence of alcohol, she ran over without caring about anything and grabbed his arm directly.

"Guo Wei, you bastard..."
