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

Because of the "prediction" of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the marriage between Qin Jun and Nian Susu was delayed until early August without any progress. Since it was related to the throne, the court officials did not dare to ask or urge it.

As the "number one suspect", Qin Junyu must be careful with his words and actions and must not let the emperor have the slightest idea that he has treasonous intentions. Otherwise, given the emperor's current state of paranoia, even if he does not have that intention, he will be unable to say so.

That day, Yang Yuerong was so anxious and worried that she could not sit still any longer, so she went to the east wing.

"Yes, that's right. Keep doing this. Slowly, swing the handkerchief up..."

Nian Susu was learning etiquette from the teaching nanny and did not notice that Yang Yuerong had arrived at the door.

Ever since Nanny Zhao was sent to jail by Qin Junyu, Nanny Li took her place. Nanny Zhao was also whipped fifty times by the Queen for her rebelliousness and disrespect for her superiors, and was then expelled from the palace.

According to Qin Junyu, Nanny Li used to work for his mother, the late queen. After the late queen passed away, she followed Qin Junyu from Xingyao Palace to the East Palace. She watched Qin Junyu grow up, and now he has transferred her to teach her the rules.

Nanny Li was a kind-hearted person. She was very nice and patient to Nian Susu. Whenever she failed to get the hang of an action, Nanny Li would patiently demonstrate it to her over and over again. Once she shouted "tired", Nanny Li would pull her into the hall to rest without saying a word.

During this half month, Nian Susu didn't learn any key points, but he became much closer to Nanny Li, and heard a lot of Qin Junyu's past embarrassing stories from her.

Compared with Aunt Zhao, the two are simply as different as heaven and earth.

Nian Susu tried hard to adjust his posture, but his body tilted and he lost his balance. He tripped over his left foot and almost fell.

Yang Yuerong walked over with a smile, "Lingling, you've been learning for more than a month, why are you still so crooked?"

Nanny Li knelt down and saluted. After Yang Yuerong asked her to stand up, she was very tactful and went back to her room on the pretext of tidying up the room.

Nian Susu pouted and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm already studying very hard."

Yang Yuerong responded with "OK" several times. Seeing her daughter sweating profusely, she couldn't help feeling distressed and took her daughter's hand and walked to the north room.

Nian Susu has now completely accepted this mother, and Yang Yuerong seems to be slowly adapting to the fact that her daughter has grown up and no longer needs her for everything, so she tries to give her some freedom.

After talking about all sorts of things, Yang Yuerong suddenly mentioned her marriage, and Nian Susu's smile froze for a moment.

"Tell me, what is the emperor thinking? He personally issued the imperial decree, and he is the one who is deliberately delaying it. Just because of a few words from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, two children have been delayed. The Purple Star and the North Star are so far away in the sky that we can't even see them. How can they be affected by your marriage? It's ridiculous!"

Yang Yuerong was very angry. She held Nian Susu's hand and her tone immediately became serious. "Lingling, you are already twenty years old this year. Girls of the same age are all discussing marriage. Once the family background is suitable, the wedding date can be set in a few months."

"Although you have an engagement, we cannot decide where the star will go. If it is always a bad omen, do you have to keep this engagement for the rest of your life and not get married?"

Twenty years old is not young anymore. The girls around her are married at the age of sixteen, seventeen or eighteen. Even Xiao Yunzheng, who is two years younger than her, is forced to discuss marriage. If it goes on like this, she will become an old woman with a pale face and thin body. How can she marry into a good family?

Yang Yuerong was worried that Nian Susu would not marry well and be bullied for the rest of her life, so she wanted to pick a good family for her while she was still young.

But Nian Susu was indifferent to the matter and replied in a muffled voice: "There's no rush. All we can do now is wait."

Yang Yuerong closed her eyes and muttered, "How come you say the same thing as the prince?"

Nian Susu looked at her in confusion. Being stared at, Yang Yuerong had no choice but to explain, "Your father went to the prince a few days ago to inquire and asked him when the wedding date could be set. He said that now we can only wait."

Yang Yuerong spat in dissatisfaction, "He is a man, he can wait as long as he wants, but it's different for women, why doesn't he think about you..."

Seeing that she was really angry, Nian Susu quickly said a few words to calm her down.

Yang Yuerong was not dissatisfied with Qin Junyu or anyone else. She was just feeling uncomfortable and needed to find someone to vent her feelings. Nian Susu was the person she could confide in, and Qin Junyu was the target.

After coaxing Yang Yuerong, Nian Susu sent them away.

She sat alone in the corridor, quietly for a long time, thinking about what Qin Junyu had said to her that day.

At that time, Qin Junyu made a scene in the Tianshi Jiansi and was confined by the emperor. She went to find Qin Guanqing and wanted him to take her into the East Palace again, but Qin Guanqing refused and only said, "He will come to find you, don't worry."

As a result, Qin Junyu came that night.

Qin Junyu told her that the Imperial Observatory had been bribed, and the person who bribed him was most likely the Queen or Qin Zehai. They colluded with each other and deliberately described the astronomical signs as bad omens to hinder their marriage in order to prevent them from getting married.

However, the Imperial Observatory only said that it was not suitable for the marriage at the moment and asked the emperor to postpone it, rather than asking the royal relatives to cancel the marriage. Therefore, their purpose was very clear, which was to delay the wedding so that they could take action during this period.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. I don't know their purpose yet. All I can do is wait until they take action and reveal their flaws. Otherwise, this situation will never be broken. As long as the Imperial Observatory does not give in, the emperor will not agree to their marriage.

Fortunately, Qin Junyu asked for an imperial decree on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, otherwise it would not be as simple as postponing the wedding. The Emperor would most likely ask Qin Junyu to marry someone else or even marry someone else in order to ensure the safety of "Purple Star".

Nian Susu thought carefully about the involvement and got goosebumps all over his body.

Zhihua happened to come back at this time, and seeing her in a daze, she quietly approached and scared her.

Nian Susu was both angry and amused, and glared at her coquettishly: "Zhihua! You are so childish!"

Zhihua laughed a few times and pulled her into the house, saying: It's too hot and sunny outside, it's better to stay inside.

As they walked in, Zhihua told her a strange thing.

"I don't know if it's because it's too hot these days, but there have been dead wild cats under the trees outside the west wing of our mansion for days. Their bodies have rotted and the stench is overwhelming. I don't know how many days they've been dead, but flies are constantly swarming around them."

When Zhihua thought of the horrific scene, her stomach churned.

"But they don't look like they died of the heat..." Zhihua muttered suspiciously.

Nian Susu didn't take it seriously at first, but the three words "West Wing Courtyard" flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but be more careful. After all, Nian Qiaoyue was the one who fed the dog with tonic soup, so she asked a few more questions.
