Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

Seeing Mingzhen refuse, Qi Shanyu naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation in the court is now tense and severe. It seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents and crises everywhere.

The court officials fought openly and secretly, formed cliques and factions, and oppressed each other.

The emperor was old, not only confused but also suspicious. He had the idea of taking action against several major families, while several princes were mediocre but ambitious, and some even secretly planned a rebellion.

If Ming Zhen returned to the Ming Mansion, the Emperor would definitely investigate. After all, Minister Ming's missing daughter turned out to be his sister, and she was also good friends with Shao Yi and Zhu Xi. I'm afraid the Emperor would be suspicious of him.

He had finally gained the emperor's trust, and he couldn't give up without completing that task.

However, if Ah Zhen wanted to return to Ming Mansion, Qi Shanyu would not stop him.

As long as Ah Zhen is happy, that's all that matters.

He also knew that the emperor was already considering arranging a marriage for Azhen, either with a prince or a military general.

The purpose of betrothing her to the prince was too obvious, which was to win over Qi Shanyu for the prince. The emperor believed that Qi Shanyu, who was destined by heaven, would live a long life, so he would not intend to encourage the prince's arrogance in this way.

Another possibility is to betroth her to a military commander, either from the Zhao or Qi families, so that they can fight against the Shao family. After all, the emperor has been wary of the Shao family for a long time.

Therefore, he reached a cooperation with Zhu Xi and let Zhu Xi propose marriage at the Spring Banquet. After all, Zhu Xi was a sickly person who could not carry anything, so the emperor would definitely agree.

Although it was different from the emperor's original plan, he must have felt that agreeing to the marriage would make Qi Shanyu resent the Zhu family. After all, who would want their beloved sister to marry a sickly man who was about to die?

It can also alienate Shao Yi, who is pursuing Mingzhen.

Get more in one fell swoop.

......

Ming Lan looked at his father and mother who had hurried back, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart. This premonition reached its peak when he saw Ming Zhen following behind him.

Have you recognized each other yet?

She suppressed her fear and completed the wedding ceremony. Before sending her to the bridal chamber, she looked at her husband's gentle smile and a warm feeling passed through her heart.

Even if her sister gave her away, what would it matter? She has already become the Crown Prince's Consort, and the palace will definitely protect her. As long as she can hold Brother Chen tightly, she will not be afraid of anything.

At this moment, Rao Chen was in a very complicated mood. After meeting Miss Qi, he felt that something was wrong with himself and he always thought of her. However, he did not dare to resist his parents and could only accept the arrangement to marry Minglan in advance.

The guests gradually left, and the bridal chamber was lit.

Rao Chen returned to the bridal chamber drunkenly. When he saw Ming Lan sitting upright on the couch waiting for him to lift her veil, he felt a little dazed.

Not long ago, he had also hoped to marry Minglan and treat her well, and would never let those concubines offend her. But now that his wish has come true, he feels no joy at all. He only feels that he has missed out on something and can never get it back.

......

Mingzhen had a dream.

The story in the dream mainly revolves around Zhu Xi.

It turns out that Zhu Xi was not Zhu Xi, but Mi Yin, the only son of Mi Yushi who was exterminated. He escaped by chance and vowed to take revenge. He was extremely intelligent and pretended to be sick to hide his incompetence, and gradually established his own power in the court where undercurrents were surging.

In order to seek revenge, he played a game of chess, and everyone was a chess piece in his hands. Later, Shao Yi, Qi Shanyu and others were also used by him. In the end, he successfully destroyed the Meng family and even dethroned the emperor and ascended the throne.

After ascending the throne, he worked diligently, reformed policies, and worked for the welfare of the people, truly earning the admiration of everyone. However, when he was young, in order to pretend to be sick more realistically, he took many poisons, which caused him to suffer from chronic illnesses that were difficult to cure, so he passed away at the age of over 40.

And she, Mingzhen, is just a background character.

When Zhu Xi tried to win over Minister Ming, Minister Ming initially disagreed. Later, Zhu Xi helped Minister Ming find out the truth about his eldest daughter's disappearance and brought back Ming Zhen's body, and finally won Minister Ming's support.

Her younger sister Minglan was naturally rejected by her parents and could not wait to marry into the palace, but her ending was not good either.

Prince Rao's love for her came and went quickly. Less than half a year after she got married, Rao Chen began to take a concubine.

However, she was soon disliked because of her arrogance. At this time, the royal family was being purged, and Prince Yi naturally could not escape. He was demoted to a commoner and exiled. Minglan seized the opportunity to escape from the palace, and Zhu Xi did not care about this little woman.

No one knows what happened after that. There is very little detail about the two sisters.

Mingzhen was a little stunned when he woke up.

In the dream, Mingzhen was covered in wounds after falling off a cliff. He was taken to Luoyi Mountain by bandits and died of illness a few days later. However, she was taken away by the bandits unharmed. Not only did they not force her, but they provided her with good food and drink. Except for not allowing her to go out, they did not do anything bad to her.

However, no matter how good those vicious criminals treated her, it could not change the fact that they were burning, killing and looting. One day, by chance, she saw those imprisoned women who were tortured to death.

So, Mingzhen wants them all to die!

Even when Shao Yi left two people alive and was about to take them back to the capital, she designed to let Shao Yi kill the two people in order to play the role of a suffering and amnesiac character.

But... Mingzhen had a feeling that she was not the Mingzhen in her dream.

She shook her head and threw the weird idea out of her mind.

......

As the days passed, Censor Ming and Madam Ming never came to see her again. It was not because they didn't care about her. If possible, they would have liked to stick with their daughter every day.

However, after Qi Shanyu explained the interests involved to them, they concealed the news that Qi Zhenyu was her daughter.

When he returned to the wedding hall, he openly explained that he had recognized the wrong person, and then acted out a heartbroken scene.

Seeing this, everyone stopped asking questions.

So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, no matter how much I miss her now, I can only look at the letters that were secretly sent to ease the longing for my daughter after reuniting with her after a long separation.

However, he often secretly gave Mingzhen some gifts, and naturally no one knew about it under the cover of the three men.

Mingzhen was also very happy to receive the gift. If possible, she didn't want to lose her parents' love. Besides, she couldn't blame them for that incident. They had been looking for her for half a year after she disappeared, which showed that they valued and doted on her very much.

Mingzhen can understand.

But Mingzhen had no intention of repaying evil with kindness for Minglan's sister.

Since she likes it so much, just take it.
