Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to agree.

In order to take Rong Miao away, he would nod no matter what Nan Yuejin asked him to do.

He has not yet told his mother that he is going to bring Rong Miao back home.

When his mother sees Rong Miao, she will probably cause chaos in the house again.

But he has no regrets.

Since he was a child, what he wanted most was to marry Rong Miao.

Although Rong Miao can only be his concubine now, he will give her more love.

Use pampering to make up for the lack of status.

"There is a girl in the city named Huo Shulan, a talented woman in the imperial city.

My father is an imperial merchant. Although merchants don’t hold high status, he is still worthy of you.”

Nan Yuejin knew that Zhao Yunlan would definitely not obey.

Even the candidate for Zhao Yunlan's wife has been found.

There was no chance for Zhao Yunlan to refuse.

If Zhao Yunlan wanted to favor Rong Miao alone, after all, that was Zhao Yunlan's own business.

His arms couldn't reach that far.

But he could definitely arrange a wife for Zhao Yunlan at this time.

With a legal wife in charge of the Zhao family, Rong Miao didn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"My lord, I understand."

Zhao Yunlan knew that Nan Yuejin's orders could not be disobeyed.

It was obvious that Nan Yuejin had already expected that he would favor Rong Miao alone.

Sure enough, Nan Yuejin is still as meticulous as ever.

It would be better to say that Nan Yuejin knows herself very well.

"Then Rong Miao and I will take our leave first."

Nan Yuejin had already done everything she should have done, so there was naturally no reason for her to keep anyone here.

"Go."

The carriage was waiting at the palace gate.

There was no phoenix corona or red quilt, no embroidery stretching for ten miles, only the carriage that Zhao Yunlan used to go to court.

Rong Miao felt really upset.

There was no ceremony for marrying into the Eastern Palace. Now going to Zhao Yunlan's house was even simpler than the day she entered the Eastern Palace.

Not to mention anything else, the life of a concubine is not even as good as that of a maid in the Eastern Palace.

Thinking of this, Rong Miao began to shed tears silently again.

What the prince gave her was naturally enough for her to live a stable life.

But how could that be enough? If she could become a concubine, she would have much more.

Concubine? Or Zhao Yunlan's concubine.

If I had known this would be the outcome, I would have married Zhao Yunlan as his legal wife.

Why do you have to endure this humiliation now?

"Don't cry," Zhao Yunlan said softly. "I know you're unhappy, but I can promise you, I won't treat you unfairly."

Zhao Yunlan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped Rong Miao's tears.

She is as gentle as a porcelain doll held in the palm of your hand, and you are afraid that it will break if you use too much force.

What Rong Miao hates most is Zhao Yunlan's gentleness.

He slapped Zhao Yunlan's hand away with all his strength.

"I climbed into the prince's bed because I didn't want to marry you.

Today, I don’t want to torture the doctor like this, so I choose to be your concubine.

Zhao Yunlan, don't you understand? I've never loved you. You're just a stepping stone for me to climb higher.

Rong Miao raised her tearful eyes and stared at Zhao Yunlan intently.

"Tell me, what can I get by entering your Zhao Mansion? Let's not talk about the fact that I am just a concubine.

You are even going to marry your wife soon, so what am I?"

She seemed to have forgotten that it was she who begged to marry Zhao Yunlan in the Eastern Palace just now.

Because she was so frustrated, she could only vent her anger on Zhao Yunlan.

"I know you have lived a life of luxury these years.

Even though marrying me is a little bit of a stretch, I will do my best to give you the best life.

Miaomiao, you believe me."

Zhao Yunlan was finally able to utter these two words.

Ever since Rong Miao married Nan Yuejin, he has never called Rong Miao's name again.

"Believe you? You're just an aide to the Crown Prince. You hold an official position, but it's just a nominal fifth-rank official.

Yes, by the time your wife comes home and becomes a royal merchant, your family’s money will indeed be inexhaustible.

At that time, will you still have to pretend to be in love with Huo Shulan in front of me and show off until your death?

Zhao Yunlan, what do you take me for?

There were people coming and going at the palace gate, and Zhao Yunlan didn't want too many people to know about this.

He made up his mind and picked up Rong Miao horizontally.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

The beloved just sobbed softly in his arms.

Even if they were complaining about him, he felt happy about it.

Returning to the Zhao residence, Zhao Yunlan ignored the looks of everyone in the mansion.

He directly carried Rong Miao into the room he had carefully prepared.

"You rest in this room, and leave the things outside to me.

You can live as you please in the East Palace. No one will bother you if you don’t want to.”

Zhao Yunlan knew his mother very well, and she might want to cause trouble for Rong Miao now.

So he had to make it clear to his mother, he didn't want to make Rong Miao unhappy.

Rong Miao seemed not to hear what Zhao Yunlan said, and just lay on the bed sobbing.

If he wasn't afraid that his mother would cause trouble, he would definitely stay here to comfort Rong Miao.

"Miao Miao, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Zhao Yunlan is a person who can handle anything calmly, as long as it is not Rong Miao's business.

Once you meet Rong Miao, you will become disregardful of everything.

He doesn't even know who he is.

If Nan Yuejin sent Rong Miao to the temple today, I'm afraid Zhao Yunlan would also disobey Nan Yuejin because of Rong Miao.

In Zhao Yunlan's heart, Rong Miao always comes first.

Knowing that his mother would be unhappy, Zhao Yunlan put Rong Miao down and immediately went to his mother to apologize.

When Li saw Zhao Yunlan, she immediately snorted coldly.

"I thought you only cared about that vixen, and you no longer cared about me, your mother."

Zhao Yunlan brought back the woman the prince didn't want in such a fair and open manner.

How could Li not hear any news?

"Now that your father is not in the Imperial City, do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

Although the world seems calm, it is actually turbulent inside.

Maybe Nanlong will fall soon. At least before that day comes, he wants to protect Rong Miao by his side.

"Mother, you clearly know how your son feels about Miaomiao, and His Highness has already said that Miaomiao can only be my aunt.

Next month, I will marry Huo Shulan, the daughter of the imperial merchant Huo family. I would like to ask my mother to help me prepare the betrothal gifts."

Zhao Yunlan directly diverted Li's attention.

Let Li stop worrying about Rong Miao’s affairs.

"The Imperial Merchant Huo family, are you talking about the famous talented woman in the Imperial City?"

When Li heard that Zhao Yunlan, a blockhead, was getting married, her dissatisfaction was reduced a lot.

She had tried to matchmake for Zhao Yunlan many times over the years, but unfortunately, Zhao Yunlan didn't like any of them.

"Yes, mother, you should hurry up and prepare the betrothal gifts, time is running out.

His Highness said that we will get married next month, and we need Mother to choose an auspicious date."

With the name of marriage, Li would have no time to find fault with Rong Miao.

Zhao Yunlan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You might as well just marry her. Don't just look at that vixen. Believe me, Rong Miao is not a good person."

Hearing this, Zhao Yunlan immediately said reluctantly: "Mom!"

Seeing that Zhao Yunlan was willing to marry, Li did not say anything to spoil Zhao Yunlan's mood.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make sure everything is done. I won't let you lose face in this important event of your life.

As for Rong Miao, just let her stay in her courtyard. Mother doesn't want to see her.

Never mind, just give her the title of concubine."
