After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

After Concubine Rong and the others sent Qi Wuyou back to the palace, they sat for a while.

Mei Xue served them snacks made from Yu Hua.

Concubine Rong took a bite and her eyes lit up, "This snack is really delicious. Do you have any more? I'll take some back."

"Yes," Qi Wuyou nodded, "Meixue, bring more for the Imperial Concubine."

Qi Wuyou saw the expectant eyes of Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen, "Bring some for Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen as well."

Finally, the three of them had lunch in Fengyi Palace before leaving.

"The food cooked by chef An An is really good. Can you lend it to me for a few days?" asked Chen Fei.

"This..." Qi Wuyou looked conflicted.

"Forget it, no need for that. I'll come to your place for dinner more often in the future. I think my sister won't mind." asked Concubine Shu.

Little foodie, you always let something slip when we eat together, so I'll play with you first.

Seeing this, the other two also said they wanted to come for dinner more often.

In order to live a comfortable life in the future, Qi Wuyou agreed. It’s just a few meals.

At night, Qi Wuyou lay in bed, suffering from insomnia, a rare occurrence.

It was all Concubine Shu’s fault. She said those words to her, that half-smiling face. Qi Wuyou couldn’t help but shudder when he thought about it.

They wanted to find their mother to treat the Empress Dowager. When Concubine Shu asked her that during the day, she was certain that their mother was still alive, but they did not necessarily know the relationship between them.

Qi Wuyou held on to a glimmer of hope, ahhhh, never mind, I'll ask Xuan Yelan tomorrow.

Qi Wuyou buried his head in the quilt and went to sleep.

In the imperial study room.

Concubine Rong, Concubine Shu, Concubine Chen and Lu Yu were all there, and it was unusually quiet.

Finally, Xuan Yelan couldn't help it, "What's the matter with you guys?"

He didn't sleep late at night, ran to the imperial study, and called Lu Yu.

He comes but doesn't say a word. If he likes to sit there and do nothing, then don't go out and don't disturb his sleep, okay?

"Alas," Concubine Rong sighed, "Do you think An An doesn't like us?"

Xuan Yelan: “.........” You came to me late at night just to say this?

How would I know if she likes you?

"I asked her today in broad daylight whether there was a concubine named He in the Qi Palace, but she didn't tell me." Concubine Shu sighed.

"A concubine with the surname He?" Lu Yu thought for a moment, "The daughter of Doctor He from Hejia Village? The one who entered the palace sixteen years ago?"

The three nodded.

"Why are you asking this?" Xuan Yelan yawned.

"I took her to pay respects to the Empress Dowager today. The Empress Dowager's headache came back again, so I just took the opportunity to ask her about it." Concubine Shu said helplessly.

"What's her surname?" Lu Yu murmured, "It seems that the Queen's mother's surname is He."

"What did you say?" Concubine Rong stood up suddenly and slammed the table, scaring Lu Yu.

Seeing that he didn't answer, "What did you say just now?" Concubine Rong came over and grabbed Lu Yu's collar, "I'm asking you a question."

"The Empress' mother's surname is He." Lu Yu replied, grabbing Concubine Rong's hand, "Let go." Concubine Rong pushed Lu Yu backhanded, causing him to stagger.

Lu Yu asked Xuan Yelan, "Do you remember? Before the marriage, the old man from Qi sent a letter saying that the Queen's biological mother, Concubine Zhaoyi He, was seeing her off."

Concubine Rong and the other two looked at Xuan Yelan in unison, "That's what happened."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then, Concubine Zhaoyi should be arriving at the capital of Qi by now. What does she look like? Send someone to kidnap her." Concubine Rong was distressed and looked at Xuanlu and the others angrily. If you had mentioned it earlier and sent someone to hurry up, maybe your second brother would have intercepted Concubine He earlier.

"I don't know," Lu Yu took a sip of tea, "The best Yunwu? Where did you get such good tea?" Lu Yu was surprised, you got rich and didn't tell me, are you still a brother?

Concubine Rong, who had a bad temper, was provoked by Lu Yu again, "What do you mean you don't know? Can you finish what you are saying? Don't change the subject."

"Don't pull me, we didn't even see Empress Zhaoyi," Lu Yu shouted, and took another sip of tea.

"How could you not see it? Didn't Empress Zhaoyi come to see An An off?" asked Concubine Shu.

"She was kidnapped," Xuan Yelan said nonchalantly. He looked up and saw everyone looking at him, and added, "The Queen said so."

"Who kidnapped him? Have they found him now?" Concubine Rong went over and grabbed Xuan Yelan again.

Xuan Yelan: “….”

"It's in the imperial capital of Xuan Kingdom." Xuan Yelan said calmly and reached out to take the concubine's hand away.

"Where?" Concubine Rong asked again.

"I don't know." Before Concubine Rong got angry again, Xuan Yelan said, "The Queen knows."

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Xuan Yelan added, "She was the one who sent someone to kidnap her mother."

Everyone:!

"Not only that, she had planned to escape from the palace before." Xuan Yelan said again.

Everyone:! !

Finally, "And he wants to use the marriage as an excuse to leave the palace and then escape the marriage." Xuan Yelan was still very calm.

Everyone:! ! !

"So, Concubine He is planning to leave with the Empress?" Lu Yu was the first to react.

Xuan Yelan nodded.

"Then why did she obediently marry again?" Concubine Shu asked again.

"Because I couldn't bear to part with her generous dowry."

Xuan Yelan also took a sip of tea. It turned out to be really good.

"So, An An agreed to the marriage just because she liked money?" asked Concubine Shu.

Xuan Yelan nodded reluctantly. He did fall in love with the girl at first sight and confessed his love to her. Unfortunately, no one believed it except Lu Yu.

Looking at Xuan Yelan's expression, Concubine Shu had an idea, "What you said yesterday, that you fell in love with An An at first sight, couldn't it be true."

Xuan Yelan rolled his eyes at her. Did he look like someone who would joke about something like this?

"Is it true?" Concubine Shu asked, "Didn't An An say that you two first met at noon? What does the moon mean?"

"Puchi," Lu Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, and then was kicked by Xuan Yelan.

"You two, there's something wrong," Chen Fei looked at them, "Tell me quickly, what's going on? Tell the truth."

"It's nothing actually. He was just curious about what she looked like, so he went to peep at her in the middle of the night, and then..." Xuan Yelan covered Lu Yu's mouth. It was nothing serious, but now his past was exposed.

"And then he was beaten?" the imperial concubine continued.

Seeing that Xuan Yelan did not refute, the three of them looked at him with a teasing look on their faces, half smiling.

Good, you finally got it after all these years.

"He also brought back a token of love." Lu Yu added.

"Oh," the three of them joked, and even Xuan Yelan felt embarrassed.

"It's not a token of love, it's a weapon used to hit me." Xuan Yelan argued.

"As the saying goes, beating is love, scolding is care." Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Xuan Yelan couldn't stand it anymore, "Aren't we talking about her mother?"

Four people: Okay, we’ll let you go for now.
