Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Xiahou Jin came to the palace to visit today. It was the time when the court was about to end. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he ran into Zuo Qiuhe.

She was stunned, and didn't want to provoke him, so she lowered her head and moved forward, but she was suddenly stopped by him.

"Ajin."

Xiahou Jin paused, then turned around reluctantly.

"Your Highness has greeted the Prime Minister."

"You're going to see Xiaoxi?"

Xiahou Jin's expression was obviously a little ugly.

"Xier had a miscarriage, and I am always worried about her."

Zuo Qiuhe was still wearing his official uniform and walked a few steps towards her without any hesitation.

"Is she better?"

"Thank you for your concern, my daughter has recovered."

Zuo Qiuhe breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that she's fine. Take good care of her."

Xiahou Jin bit her lips, unable to speak. Zuo Qiuhe observed her expression and wanted to ask her something.

"She...is originally our daughter, right?"

Xiahou Jin bit her lip and looked up.

"She's my daughter."

Ran Yuelian saw this scene on the pipe and strode over.

Xu Yuanchao looked over in surprise and saw that Ran Yuelian had already protected Xiahou Jin behind him.

"Your humble servant greets the Prime Minister."

Although the two were nearly fifty years old, others could still see at a glance that the tense atmosphere between them was tense.

"I wonder why Dean Ran didn't say a word in the court today?"

Zuo Qiuhe hit the nail on the head. Xu Yuanchao was watching the two of them from a distance with a frown on his face. At that time, Xie Ying walked up.

"Marquis Yu'an, what are you looking at?"

Xu Yuanchao turned his eyes to Xie Ying.

"Why did the uncle speak in the court today?"

Xie Ying laughed a few times.

"Marquis Yu'an can speak, but my uncle can't?"

Xu Yuanchao raised the corner of his mouth with disdain. He hated anyone who kept things in suspense.

"No matter what the reason is, I will know it sooner or later."

When Ran Qianxi heard that her mother was coming to the palace to visit and was in good health, she ran out happily to greet her.

The official road was the shortest way from the palace to the palace gate, so she jogged past the two people who were arguing with each other, and the two pairs of eyes followed her until she stopped.

"Don't run."

Tan Qianhuan followed behind them and gave them gentle instructions. When he arrived next to the two of them, he glanced at them and did not say anything to make things difficult for them.

The three of them went their separate ways, but their destination was all behind Ran Qianxi.

"Mother~"

She came happily and felt that Zuo Qiuhe was a stranger to her, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Ran Yuelian calmly raised his hand and protected Ran Qianxi behind him again.

"Old minister, please see the Queen."

Hearing Zuo Qiuhe's address, Ran Qianxi was stunned!

"What Queen?"

Zuo Qiuhe's eyes were full of passion, filled with fatherly love and affection.

"I think His Majesty's decree will be issued soon."

Ran Qianxi looked into his eyes and actually felt a sense of familiarity.

"Dad…why is he looking at me like that?"

Hearing her calling Ran Yuelian "Dad" over and over again, Zuo Qiuhe felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

"If Prime Minister Zuoqiu has nothing else to do, please leave the palace."

Ran Yuelian and he were at loggerheads, and Ran Qianxi suddenly realized that the relationship between them was not good.

"No trouble."

After Zuo Qiuhe finished speaking, he saw Tan Qianhuan, Xie Ying, and Xu Yuanchao standing behind Ran Qianxi, who were undoubtedly half of the country, so he took out a longevity bracelet.

"The Queen's birthday is approaching, and this old minister has specially prepared a small gift."

Ran Qianxi felt more and more that something was wrong. How did he know when her birthday was?

She looked at her mother tentatively, Xiahou Jin nodded in agreement, and Ran Qianxi gladly took it.

"Thank you, Zuoqiu Zaicheng~"

Seeing that she liked him, Zuo Qiuhe's eyes gradually became moist, and Tan Qianhuan noticed something was wrong at a glance.

Ran Yuelian took a look at the longevity bracelet, which was made by Zuo Qiuhe when Ran Qianxi was an adult, so he secretly swallowed his sorrow.

"Zuoqiu Zaicheng, you are a very nice person~"

Zuo Qiuhe smiled kindly, but Ran Yuelian looked extremely unhappy.

"As long as your Majesty likes it, I will take my leave."

Tan Qianhuan took a step forward to see what was going on. Just as he was about to lift her wrist, he and Ran Yuelian stretched out their hands at the same time. They looked at each other and lifted up the bracelet together.

"Show it to Dad."

"What kind of bracelet is it that makes Xier so happy?"

Ran Qianxi observed the expressions of the two men. Tan Qianhuan looked okay, but Ran Yuelian looked angry.

The two of them kept looking at the bracelets, and Xu Yuanchao and Xie Ying also came over.

"How beautiful is it?"

Tan Qianhuan glanced at Xu Yuanchao and put down the bracelet.

"Marquis Yu'an spoke for Xi'er in front of the palace today. This king is very grateful."

In front of Ran Qianxi, his manners and words were always so gentle and decent. Once she was not around, he suddenly became cold and sinister.

"King Jibei is too serious."

Tan Qianhuan smiled, realizing that his relationship with Ran Qianxi was not simple.

"But I don't know why the uncle asked for permission?"

Xie Ying glanced at Ran Qianxi unconsciously, and Tan Qianhuan followed his gaze.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a harem cannot be without a master for a day."

Not only were they curious, Ran Qianxi herself was also very curious.

"Dad, what happened in the morning today?"

Ran Yuelian had not yet swallowed the anger he had felt towards Zuo Qiuhe, but he still raised his hand and saluted the few people, but was held back by Xie Ying.

"No need for that, Dean Ran."

Ran Yuelian looked at him and also felt something was wrong. Men's intuition is no worse than women's.

"Thank you all for your strong words of protection."

Xu Yuanchao politely returned the greeting and then took the lead to leave.

Xie Ying knew that Ran Qianxi was about to be crowned queen, so she shouldn't get too close to the Ran family, and she also strode away.

Only Tan Qianhuan did not leave, and Ran Yuelian bowed to him in return.

"I'll take my leave."

Tan Qianhuan nodded.

"Mom, is that Zuoqiu Zaicheng someone you know? I think dad is quite jealous."

Xiahou Jin looked at her and sighed unbearably.

"It's all old news, just forget about it."

Ran Qianxi nodded half-knowingly.

"Ow..."

Mid-Autumn Festival -

Ran Qianxi was doing nothing in the Yifeng Palace when Baili Yong walked in with his hands behind his back, and Steward Sun was holding the imperial edict.

"Ayong~"

Baili Yong's face was full of joy and he was very happy.

"Xi'er."

Ran Qianxi walked over with a smile on her face.

"Are you done yet?"

Baili Yong raised his hand and touched her face.

"Yes."

"Should we have dinner soon?"

"No hurry, announce the imperial decree first."

Ran Qianxi didn't understand, he was clearly right beside her.

"Why don't you just stand here? Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"This matter must be taken seriously."

Upon hearing this, Ran Qianxi was about to kneel down, but was held back by Baili Yong.

"You don't have to kneel."

Ran Qianxi was still confused. Baili Yong took her hand and interlocked their fingers.

"Xuan."

Manager Sun bowed.

"Yes."

"Royal Consort Ran is a beautiful lady from a famous family. She is graceful and elegant, with a gentle and bright appearance and a virtuous character. She is respectful and prudent, and has established a good reputation in the six palaces. I am very pleased, so I canonize her as the Empress of the Central Palace and grant her the Yifeng Palace to live in. I decree this!"

Ran Qianxi raised her head slightly. Baili Yong had been looking at her with happiness in his eyes.

"Xier~"

Baili Yong raised his hand slightly, and Steward Sun respectfully handed the imperial edict to him, who then handed it to Ran Qianxi.

"Thank you, Xier..."

Ran Qianxi took the imperial edict. It was the first time in her life that she received an imperial edict like this.

"I thank you for your grace."

Baili Yong smiled and picked her up and walked into the inner bedroom, but Ran Qianxi was thinking about having a big meal.

"It's time to have dinner soon."

"There's no time to waste. Let's spend time with Xi'er first."
