A quick journey through the stars

An Ning's eyes turned: "Brother, I will help you solve this problem, if you agree to one condition of mine."

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, but I'll only give you three days. Lingxi will be your guarantor. If you can't do it, you won't be allowed to leave the palace for three months."

An Ning: "Okay, I agree, let's high-five each other," and raised his right hand.

Zhu Yun: "Okay," he said, raising his right hand and clapping.

Lingxi: "No, don't you consider my opinion?"

Zhu Yun and An Ning said in unison: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Lingxi: “…”

Fenglin Palace

An Ning bowed: "Meet the Queen Mother"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Get up, An Ning, you won't be able to see your mother for a while."

An Ning walked over and grabbed the Queen Mother, saying coquettishly, "Mother, your birthday is coming soon, isn't it? I'm busy preparing a birthday gift for you."

The Queen Mother patted An Ning's hand kindly and said, "You, tell me what you want to see me for."

An Ning pretended to be unhappy: "Mother, you are making your daughter sad. Can't your daughter come here just because she missed you?"

The Queen Mother nodded An Ning's nose and said, "Okay, it's my fault."

An Ning looked heartless: "Mother, I met my cousin Wen Qiang when I left the palace yesterday. I saw that she and Situ Jiannan were really in love.

Cousin Wenqiang grew up to be a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant, and a talented woman. Situ Jiannan also had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was talented in both literature and martial arts. One of them was the daughter of a duke (a few years ago, during the court purge, Wenjian was dismissed from his position as prime minister, and Emperor Zhu Yun, in consideration of the empress dowager's face, made him a duke of Qian, a position without any real power).

One is the son of a general (a few years ago, when the Lihentian was being cleaned up, it was revealed that Situ Jing was a princess of the previous dynasty. The emperor abolished Situ Qingyun's position as general and took away the military power and gave it to Lingxi, but because of his past hard work and great achievements, he made him a general). Their family backgrounds are comparable and they were childhood sweethearts, which makes people very envious. Alas, what a pity."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "This is good, why are you so sorry?"

An Ning: "Situ Jiannan is already an adult, and he is the only child of the Situ family. Madam Situ and General Situ are not in a hurry to have a grandson.

Just a few days ago, General Situ went to propose marriage happily, but ended up returning with a gloomy face. Cousin Wenqiang said that her uncle said that there is an order of seniority, and since Cousin Mei'er is not married yet, there is no way I can get married first.

I think that as long as Cousin Mei'er doesn't get married, the marriages of Cousin Wenqiang and Cousin Wentao will be in jeopardy. Cousin Wenqiang will be 20 in two years. I don't know what my uncle is thinking. Is he planning to support two cousins for the rest of his life? Cousin Mei'er will be 20 in a year too."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "Mei'er's marriage is indeed going to be decided, but your brother keeps putting it off."

An Ning said carelessly: "Hehe, mother, you are not going to let cousin Mei'er marry me and become my sister-in-law, right? I am sure it will be different. Not to mention me, even Lingxi and I will not agree to it, and the Zhu clan will definitely not agree to it." An Ning did not give the queen mother a chance to interrupt and quickly said: "Let alone anything else, cousin Mei'er's temperament is not what a mother of a country should have.

Besides, cousin Mei'er has been spoiled by you and uncle and has become naive and willful. If you let cousin Mei'er be the mistress of a large family, she can't manage the family well, and she can't control the concubines in the harem, let alone let her be the mother of a country. Can she manage such a large harem and control the noble ladies carefully cultivated by various families in the harem? Letting cousin Mei'er marry me is like letting her into a wolf's den."

The Queen Mother said sternly: "I am here to protect you in the palace. I will not dare to bully Mei'er."

An Ning: "Queen Mother can't protect Cousin Mei'er for her entire life. If Cousin Mei'er marries me, the child she gives birth to will be a legitimate son. But neither me, Lingxi, I, nor the royal family will allow this child to inherit the throne. After all, this is the Zhu family's world, not the Wen family's.

Since ancient times, the fate of a legitimate son who fails to inherit the throne has been dire. My mother knows better than I do. When the new emperor ascends the throne, I'm afraid Cousin Mei'er and her son will not have a good fate.

Of course, if cousin Mei'er is infertile and is just the queen, that would be a different story. However, with cousin Mei'er's personality, even if she is infertile and is just the queen, it would have to be when you are around. If you are not around, I will not tolerate her again and again.

If Cousin Mei'er doesn't marry me, then no matter who she marries, her life will be smooth sailing. After all, she has an aunt who is the Empress Dowager, a cousin who is the Emperor, and two cousins who are princesses. No one dares to touch her, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the princesses.

The Queen Mother looked at An Ning deeply and said, "The Emperor asked you to come."
