I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Prince Ling smiled, "He does want to, but he has to get his brother's consent. Besides, the Queen Mother will not be willing to let her daughter marry off to a foreign country as a bargaining chip for cooperation. She knows better than anyone what the princess' fate will be, so she wants to push Ning Sheng out..."

Mu Qingyan sighed, "Princess Ning Sheng is so pitiful..."

Lady Fang became Mu Ruge's scapegoat and was pushed out as a target, but fortunately, she had a good father.

Today, Anguo is strong enough and there is no need to sacrifice women to stabilize the situation.

In this sense, she is lucky.

"If the prince of Yi country insists on marrying a woman, who will be the one who gets to marry her in the end?" In the dynasties she was familiar with, the emperor would not want to part with his own daughters, and would most likely choose a woman from the royal family and make her a princess. If there were no women of the right age in the royal family, then the daughters of court officials would be the next in line.

No matter who the marriage is in the end, it is not a good destination.

When a woman embarks on the journey of marriage, it is like stepping into the gates of hell.

But death is not the most terrible thing.

The terrible thing is to suffer humiliation in the enemy country, unable to live or die.

Prince Ling was also troubled by this problem. Although he had already thought about the Yi Kingdom's proposal of marriage, he had never come up with a foolproof plan to deal with it.

Thinking of this, he felt fortunate that he and Mu Qingyan had an arranged marriage.

Otherwise, once the portrait came out, she would definitely go no matter what the truth was.

And this time, you may never come back.

The saddest thing is that no one cares about her...

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Prince Ling never answered her question and instead fell into deep thought, Mu Qingyan spoke suspiciously.

"No, I just feel very lucky..."

"What are you thankful for?"

"You will know later... You don't have to worry about the marriage. The emperor will not let Kang Cheng get his wish. If the royal princess is unwilling to marry, the officials and nobles will go. This will chill the ministers' hearts and waste the Gu family's hard work in the front line to defend the country. Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and will not ignore his subjects like this."

Mu Qingyan's expression lightened up a little.

Although this matter did not fall on her head, she was always being plotted against and felt very uncomfortable.

"If Lan Hui wants to fight to the death with the wife of Xiangning Marquis, what do you think is her chance of winning?" Mu Qingyan privately felt that Lan Hui could not defeat her, but the wife of Xiangning Marquis had touched her child. A mother who had lost her child no longer had any soft spots, only hatred. It was still unknown what her chances of winning were...

In fact, Lan Hui was also somewhat clever, but her cleverness was only effective against the children in the boudoir. But it was a bit foolish to use it against a clan lady like Liang who came from a noble family and had been in charge of the family for many years.

Prince Ling couldn't say anything about the fight between the ladies in the harem, but since Mu Qingyan asked, he had to answer, "It looks like an egg hitting a rock, but how do you know that Lan Hui doesn't have a trick up her sleeve?"

That's right.

The next day, Yuan Xiao, the governor of Jiuzhou Canal Transport, went to Beijing with his son Yuan Feng.

However, Madam Yuan and her daughter Yuan Ying went out of the city early in the morning to wait. After receiving the person, Yuan Xiao went directly into the palace with his entourage, while Yuan Feng followed Madam Yuan to the Gu family to meet his grandfather's family.

Seeing his mother's ruddy complexion and clear eyes, Yuan Feng was very happy. He was worried that the journey to Beijing would aggravate his mother's condition, but the situation was urgent at the time, so he could only take the risk and ask someone to send his mother and sister to Beijing.

In case something uncontrollable happens in Huaiyang, at least my mother and sister can be saved.

"Sister, you have worked hard to take care of mother these days..."

Yuan Ying smiled and said, "Brother, you are being polite. This is my own mother, how can it be hard for her to survive... But fortunately, we met my cousin, who is a skilled doctor. She not only cured my mother's chronic illness, but also cured the mental illness that had troubled her for many years... Now that we are reunited with my grandparents, everything has become better..."

The smile on Mrs. Yuan's face has never disappeared since she saw her husband and son.

Mu Qingyan originally came out to greet this uncle whom she had never met before, but was stopped by the empress dowager's oral order from the palace. She had to follow the palace servants into the palace, but met Yuan Xiao at the palace gate.

The two did not know each other, and Mu Qingyan took the initiative to greet him.

Yuan Xiao felt that the person looked familiar, but was afraid of making a mistake, so he did not dare to speak rashly. He just nodded slightly to return the greeting. After the person walked away, he asked the palace servant, "Eunuch, which family was that girl from?"

The eunuch bent his waist and walked without stopping. He turned slightly after hearing the words and said, "My Lord, that is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo. In fact, the eldest daughter is the nephew of your wife..."

Yuan Xiao then understood where the familiar feeling in his heart came from. It turned out that it came from his aunt who died young.

The child does not look like her mother, but her temperament is the same.

Mu Qingyan seemed to have guessed Yuan Xiao's identity, but now that the empress dowager had summoned her, she could not delay and could only hurriedly follow the palace maid.

But she was wondering what tricks the Queen Mother would come up with to deal with her this time.

As soon as you enter Shouxiang Palace, the atmosphere is as silent as death.

The Queen Mother sat at the first seat, staring at her with a cold face.

Princess Yunxi was sitting below, and the look in her eyes seemed to make her wish she could swallow her in one bite.

And her good sister, Mu Ruge, although she looked indifferent, could not hide her murderous intent.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Queen Mother..." She knelt down in salute, and the Queen Mother was slow to ask her to stand up, so she could only maintain the salute posture.

The Queen Mother originally wanted to see when she could no longer hold back and lose her balance. If she lost her manners in front of the palace, she could punish her. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the person below did not even move his skirt.

Let her find no fault.

"The Queen has arrived——"

Before she could even shout and stand up, she heard shouts from outside.

The Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened. If it weren't for her dignity, she would have cursed.

"Please stand up..." He asked the person to stand up reluctantly.

Mu Qingyan's lowered eyebrows flashed with a trace of helplessness. She had just entered the palace and hadn't even finished the ceremony when Queen Qin came. This showed how capable the secret guards that Prince Ling placed beside her were...

"Greetings to the Queen Mother..." She should have been called Mother, but ever since His Majesty and the Queen Mother had quarreled many times, Queen Qin was unwilling to even call her Mother.

No matter how dissatisfied Princess Yunxi was with the Queen, she had to stand up and salute.

So does Mu Ruge.

After the ceremony, Queen Qin did not wait for Queen Mother Lan to call her to stand up. She stood up on her own and found a seat to sit down. "I heard early in the morning that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, so I thought of coming to see her."

She turned her head inadvertently, as if she had just discovered Mu Qingyan, "Hey! Why did you invite the young lady into the palace again? The Queen Mother doesn't look seriously ill..."
