After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

He said this to dispel Nian Susu's doubts.

If it weren't for the exchange of interests, the Crown Prince of the East Palace and the owner of Tianxuan Villa would not be the same kind of people and would not be on the same page, let alone give up the position of Crown Princess for nothing.

As soon as the word "trade" was mentioned, Nian Susu understood, nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

I have no right to ask about what happens between them, and I don't think he will tell me even if I ask him. It's better to keep some dignity for each other.

Nian Susu turned around and put her hands on the railing. The coldness spread from her palms to her whole body. She looked down and saw that the sparks had gradually faded away and disappeared. Not even a fire could be seen in the direction of Xizhimen.

Qin Junyu looked at her thin back, and the two of them just remained silent.

The wind lifted my hair and clothes, blowing away a lot of my sorrow.

Qin Junyu suddenly said, "If you still want to have contact with Xuanji in the future, I won't stop you. I won't ask who you want to associate with. You don't have to restrict yourself just because you have the title of 'future crown princess'."

"My mother died early, and her relationship with my father was not close. Now I am the one who makes the decisions in the East Palace. After you marry here, you don't have to deal with the elders. If you don't want to follow the rules, then don't follow them. Everything will be the same as before you got married."

"There is a nanny in charge of the chores in the Eastern Palace. She is my mother's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She will enter the Eastern Palace after my mother dies. If you are willing, you can learn how to manage the household from her. If you find it troublesome and hard, you can choose someone you trust to learn from her. The real power will still be in your hands."

"Except for you... I have never had contact with other women. There are no other concubines in the palace, and there will be no other concubines in the future. You can rest assured."

Nian Susu didn't dare to move his head when listening to these words, and his face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

She clenched her fists and swallowed. The wind blew away her voice, which then floated into the ears of the people behind her. "Your Highness, isn't it too early to say this now?"

They have just gotten engaged, and the imperial decree will not be issued until tomorrow, and the imperial edict will be posted to announce it to the world. Now he comes to reassure her. Is he afraid that she will change her mind?

"Besides... Your Highness, there is no need to accommodate me so much."

"I will play the role of the future Crown Princess well, adapt as quickly as possible, and will not cause any trouble to Your Highness. As for the rest... we'll talk about it later."

She was upset, her thoughts were in a mess, and there was too much information to digest.

Thousands of eyes are staring at the Eastern Palace. Since she is a member of the Eastern Palace, she has to be careful with her words and actions and can no longer be as fearless as before.

Qin Junyu raised his hand, wanting to hold her hand, but his hand stayed in the air for a long time, and finally he let it go.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

-

With the engagement, they became much bolder. Qin Junyu took Nian Susu to Xizhimen through the palace road, where a carriage prepared in advance was already waiting.

There were still many girls outside Xizhimen waiting for someone, either their father or their companion. They gathered together to discuss what had just happened. The topic, of course, was the prince's engagement.

Unexpectedly, while we were talking, the two main characters arrived.

They closed their mouths at the same time, but couldn't suppress their curiosity. The two rays of light in their eyes were staring at the two people not far away.

"Wow! His Highness actually escorted Miss Nian out of the palace himself!"

"Look, that carriage parked over there is the East Palace's carriage! The Prime Minister's carriage had already sent the Second Miss Nian back home. This carriage was specially prepared by His Highness for Miss Nian!"

"Your Highness's eyes are so gentle when he looks at Miss Nian! I have never seen such a doting expression on Your Highness's face!"

"They are such a perfect match!"

Qin Junyu helped Nian Susu into the car, and the two nodded goodbye.

After watching the carriage leave, Qin Junyu turned around to return to the palace. His eyes glanced lightly at the group of girls and paused on them for several seconds.

The girls were so frightened that they dared not breathe and stared at him tremblingly.

There was no expression on Qin Junyu's face, as if he was just looking over casually. He strode into the palace.

The girls breathed a sigh of relief and continued their discussion in low voices.

……

The selection of the Crown Princess caused quite a stir and many noble ladies were heartbroken.

The education and ideas they received meant that they would become princesses, crown princesses, or even queens in the future. But now the position of crown princess has been taken by Nian Susu, and the selection of princesses for the remaining princes will also be put on the agenda one after another. They couldn't help but get nervous.

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Ning came uninvited. The Queen was in a bad mood and was in no mood to receive her. She guessed that she was here to humiliate her and didn't want to see her anymore. However, Concubine Ning didn't wait for anyone to pass the message and just forced her way in.

The queen half-leaned on the couch, lazily glanced at Concubine Ning who rushed in aggressively, and waved her hand to let the little palace maid who was massaging her leave.

All the palace servants in the hall left at once, leaving only Concubine Ning and the Queen.

The Queen already had a lot of resentment in her heart, and Concubine Ning came to provoke her, which was undoubtedly walking into trouble.

"Concubine Ning, after all, I am the Queen and you are a concubine. Isn't it too presumptuous of you to barge in without waiting for the order?" She asked coldly, sitting up slowly, adjusting the hem of her skirt, with a lazy posture.

Concubine Ning did not bow, but sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. "Even if it is presumptuous, it is not the first time. Hasn't the Queen gotten used to it yet?"

She smiled sarcastically.

The queen looked unhappy, but she didn't bother with her in the end.

"I am not feeling well and need to rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk to you tomorrow." The queen stood up and was about to go to the inner room.

Concubine Ning was quick-witted and quick-handed. She dodged to the path that she had to pass and stopped the person.

"Sister, please don't be like this. I just want to chat with you when I'm free. Please don't chase me away." Concubine Ning blinked innocently. "If the emperor hears about this, he will think that you don't like me. Every time I come, you feel pain here and there."

This was not the first time that the Queen had used the excuse of being unwell to drive her away. This time, she would not give in until she stayed and made some sarcastic remarks no matter what.

The queen had no choice but to sit back on the couch, forcing herself to ask despite feeling uncomfortable, "What's the matter, sister?"

Concubine Ning smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask you, sister, what gift is appropriate for the Crown Prince and Miss Nian to get married?"

She picked up a strand of hair and twisted it around her index finger, pretending to think, "Your Highness is very close to our Qing'er. If I give her something too shabby, it would be embarrassing for Qing'er. But if I give her something too expensive, I'm afraid people would find fault with me and say I'm being too extravagant and wasteful."

"My younger sister couldn't make up her mind for the moment, so she wanted to ask her elder sister."

Concubine Ning suddenly came close to her, smiling innocently, yet a little cunningly, "Sister, what are you planning to give as a gift? Or... your dream daughter-in-law was taken away by someone else, and you are unwilling to accept it, so you don't plan to give her a gift?"

"Hahaha..." Concubine Ning laughed triumphantly.

The queen stared at her with a dark look in her eyes, "What do you want to say, sister?"

Concubine Ning took a deep breath and curled her lips, "Sister, do you really want to hear it?"
