The most beautiful lady in the harem

"Qin Jieyu! There are rumors out there, saying, saying, saying that the Emperor is going to arrange a marriage for Miss Wei Lanxin!"

When Xiao Fuzi heard the news outside, he ran to Shu Yuexuan immediately and couldn't wait to tell Qin Liuse.

Because Emperor Yongjia had not yet chosen the person in charge of the harem, Qin Liuse had to follow Li Chongyuan and the others. In the morning, she had already visited Concubine Xiao Defei and paid her respects to the Empress Dowager Cixi. She already knew the news.

Xiao Fuzi ran so hard that he was panting and gasping for breath, and thought to himself that it was a ghost.

Wei Lanxin wanted to settle down in the palace, so why did the emperor suddenly arrange a marriage for her?

Although Qin Liuse knew the news a long time ago, he still felt a little indigestion and was as surprised as Xiao Fuzi.

She smiled and said, "The Emperor probably has his own arrangements."

In fact, Emperor Yongjia not only had his own arrangements, but also handled the matter in a swift and decisive manner.

Qin Liuse was shocked, on the one hand, because Emperor Yongjia suddenly arranged a marriage for Wei Lanxin, and on the other hand, because this marriage was truly unexpected.

The future husband that Emperor Yongjia arranged for Wei Lanxin was a military commander under the Protector General of the Northwest, and he was from a family with the surname Li.

However, although he was a general, he was just a local general.

They had their own house and were considered a prestigious family in the local area, but because they had no education and came from a humble background, they had no hope of moving up to a higher level.

What's more, in today's peaceful and prosperous times, it is impossible to gain any merit by fighting wars.

This General Li is said to be thirty-six years old this year. He had previously married a wife who was also from a military family. She was not heroic, but she was different from ordinary women.

Later, the wife died of illness, and General Li did not remarry in the following years.

It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but anyone with a bit of background in the capital would be reluctant to let their daughters marry to such a faraway place to suffer.

Having had that kind of wife who could barely read or write, he now wanted to find "another kind".

General Li looked down on girls from ordinary families.

Now that he has achieved fame and success, he only wants to marry a well-read girl as his second wife.

General Li had worked under the Ninth Prince in the past and was considered his confidant. He had his own reputation in the northwest, and many local families had come to him to beg for their daughters to marry him, but General Li was only willing to allow those people to be his concubines.

As for the wife, naturally one would want to marry someone who is good in all aspects. It would be best if she can be educated and know some housework.

Qin Liuse knew without even thinking that General Li would be very satisfied with Wei Lanxin.

Wei Lanxin is only in her twenties this year. Although she is not a beauty, she is a spoiled girl and still has a decent appearance.

Those military generals who have practiced martial arts for many years would just stare at her with their eyes wide open when they see her.

In ordinary marriage proposals, the girl's family would have to come and meet the boy, but because this was an arranged marriage by Emperor Yongjia, there was no room for negotiation at all.

Qin Liuse, an outsider, was so shocked, let alone Wei Lanxin, who was destined to be his lifelong love by Emperor Yongjia overnight.

When Wei Lanxin heard the news that Zhu Wanxi was reading the imperial edict, she collapsed on the spot and fell to the ground, unable to move.

After being in a trance for a moment, he ran to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace like crazy, crying, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, why did he propose marriage to me? And he pointed me to such a family? Such a remote and desolate place, why did the Emperor let me marry into such a place?"

"And you promised me a peasant like that. How rude!"

Zhu Wanxi didn't expect that just after he finished reading the imperial edict, Miss Wei Lanxin ran out without even taking it. He hurriedly followed her and chased to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace holding the imperial edict.

"Oh my, my dear Miss Lan Xin, you may be very excited and happy, but you still have to get the emperor's edict, otherwise you won't be able to explain this."

Zhu Wanxi spoke more tactfully and even tried to save the situation by covering up Wei Lanxin's recklessness.

What he meant was that if Wei Lanxin did not obey the order, it would be tantamount to disobeying the emperor's will, and he might even be beheaded.

Wei Lanxin gritted her teeth with her remaining sanity, knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and waited until Zhu Wanxi delivered the edict back before she knelt down again, shaking Empress Dowager Dong's knees, crying and begging her to plead for her.

The Empress Dowager Dong looked at Wei Lanxin's out-of-control appearance and couldn't help but frown and sigh. After all, she was the one who brought her to the palace. Although this chess piece was useless now, the Empress Dowager Dong still felt somewhat emotional.

She looked down at Wei Lanxin, touched her head, and said to her, "The current emperor would never make decisions on impulse. He must have his reasons for doing so."

"Empress Dowager." Wei Lanxin was crying so hard that she could no longer speak. She had never thought of marrying far away in the northwest, and marrying a rough man at that.

Although General Li was only a few years older than Emperor Yongjia, Wei Lan knew without hesitation that although they were the same age, the emperor was a handsome and mighty man, but the peasant general must be different.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that General Li married another wife. Your Majesty, why would you let me continue writing for him?"

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Wei Lanxin's face which was exactly the same as that of the late queen, and felt extremely sorry. She had thought that she would be of great use, but now she was just a useless chess piece.

It was not an unintentional act by Empress Dowager Dong to win over so many concubines in the harem. She thought that they could be used by her and gain the favor of the Emperor. But once this path failed, that would be another matter.

"Lan Xin, the emperor is not confused. He knows everything. He knows everything." The Empress Dowager Dong emphasized again without making it too clear.

But Wei Lanxin looked up at her with horror in her eyes. In an instant, she seemed to be frozen in time, and everything became clear to her. "Your Majesty, how could the emperor know?"

Wei Lanxin's limbs felt as if they were injected with snow water and the blood could hardly circulate. She never thought that the truth would be exposed and known by Emperor Yongjia.

Because this means that she has almost no chance in front of him and no chance of getting his favor.

It goes without saying that Emperor Yongjia would not allow someone who was involved in the lives of the late empress and the virtuous concubine to become his woman.

Wei Lanxin's face was as pale as the thick snow in winter. She shook her head, still unable to believe it. "Empress Dowager, this must be a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding. Is someone framing us?"

When Empress Dowager Dong heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold. She suppressed her expression and reminded Wei Lanxin, "The emperor means that it was someone from your Wei family who did something wrong. If you were smart, you would know what to choose."

The Queen Mother Dong was obviously destroying the bridge after crossing it. She was reminding Wei Lanxin that in this matter, it was only "they" and not "us" who had completely cleared herself of any responsibility. She, the Queen Mother Dong, had nothing to do with this matter on the surface.
