In Changle Palace, Princess Fengyang was still struggling, desperately trying to rush out, shouting, "Let me go, let me go! I want to see my father! I want to see my father!"

"Princess" Qingyan and several maids pulled Princess Fengyang hard, while anxiously admonishing her: "Princess, if you force your way out now, it will only make the emperor furious. It's better for you to sit down first and think carefully before making any plans."

"Yes, Princess," a maid also said cautiously, "The Emperor has only confined the Princess for half a month. After half a month, it won't be too late for the Princess to go find the Emperor again."

After hearing what the two said, Princess Fengyang finally came to her senses and stopped struggling. She thought to herself: Yes, my father has only confined me for half a month. After half a month, my appearance will have recovered. Then, I can go and ask to see my father. Wouldn't it be better?

Thinking of this, Princess Fengyang calmed down completely, shook off the hands of everyone holding her, turned around and walked to the couch, leaned over, lay down, and then closed her eyes slightly.

Qingyan and everyone else in Changle Palace couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Princess Fengyang had finally calmed down.

Two little palace maids hurried over, one fanned Princess Fengyang and the other massaged her legs.

The rest of the people in the palace also began to quietly busy themselves with their own things.

Qingyan moved lightly to the side of the couch and stood aside cautiously, ready to follow the princess' instructions at any time.

Princess Fengyang, who was lying on the "Qingyan" couch, suddenly raised her eyelids and cried out.

"Yes, I'm here," Qingyan responded hurriedly.

"You just told me to think it over before making any plans," Princess Fengyang said, reclining on the couch, her voice slightly weary. "Please help me think about what I should do now."

"Princess," Qingyan sighed inwardly. She had no idea what to do now. She had just said it casually to persuade the princess, but now, she had no choice but to say something.

"Princess," Qingyan thought hard, then said, "Although the Emperor has granted you a marriage, he hasn't set a specific wedding date. After your two weeks of confinement, wouldn't it be better for you to go and test the Emperor's opinion? Then you can come up with a foolproof plan. Isn't that better?"

Yes! When Princess Fengyang heard this, her mind suddenly became clear. Although her father had granted her a marriage, he had not set a specific date for the wedding. Did this mean that her father was also hesitant?

Perhaps my father arranged for me to marry the Marquis of Zhaoyuan only because he was angry at the moment and felt that my appearance had been ruined, so he arranged for me to marry him.

The more Princess Fengyang thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. After all, a while ago, she had heard that her father wanted to betroth Princess Jing'an to Marquis Zhaoyuan. Now that he knew that Princess Jing'an had recovered her appearance, wouldn't she be sent to marry again?

Although the imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued, nothing is absolute. After half a month, when my father's anger has subsided and he sees that I have recovered my appearance, he will definitely not be willing to let me become the stepmother of Marquis Zhaoyuan.

After all, she was a princess of Daqing, and being married to a marquis's family as a stepmother would bring shame to the royal family.

When Princess Fengyang thought of this, her mood finally improved a little. She closed her eyes tiredly again and finally calmed down.

At the same time, in the Marquis of Zhaoyuan's Mansion, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had just left.

Li Kang, Marquis of Zhaoyuan, was in his early thirties, of medium build and quite handsome. What he was holding in his hand at that moment was the imperial edict granting him marriage.

"Son," Marquis Zhaoyuan's mother pointed at the imperial edict and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say a while ago that the emperor intended to marry Princess Jing'an to you? Why did it change to Princess Fengyang now?"

"Mother, you don't know." Although Zhaoyuan Marquis Li Kang was a lustful man, he was extremely filial to his mother. He suppressed his displeasure and replied respectfully, "Princess Fengyang, for some unknown reason, suddenly developed a rash on the eve of her marriage. The Emperor had no choice but to send Princess Jing'an to marry in her place."

"Doesn't Princess Jing'an have a face full of birthmarks?" Zhaoyuan Hou's mother asked in confusion. This was nothing new. In the capital, every prominent family knew about it.

"I heard it has been cured," Li Kang replied.

Marquis Zhaoyuan's mother nodded. Seeing Li Kang's depressed expression, she couldn't help but persuade him, "Son, I know that this arranged marriage has wronged you, but our family has fallen on hard times in recent years, and we could be demoted at any time. If you marry the princess, our family will be secure in the future. Didn't the emperor already promise that if you marry the princess, the title will be inherited for three generations?"

"Mother, I am angry because at the beginning, the emperor asked me to marry Princess Jing'an. Now Princess Jing'an is well again, but Princess Fengyang has a rash. The emperor asked me to marry Princess Fengyang again. The emperor is simply humiliating me," Li Kang said angrily.

"Son, don't overthink it," the Marquis of Zhaoyuan's mother advised, "The date for the marriage has been set. I guess the Emperor has no other choice but to let Princess Jing'an marry in his place."

At this point, Zhaoyuan Hou's mother paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, it doesn't matter which princess our mansion marries. When the time comes, you must quickly ensure that the princess gives birth to a legitimate son or daughter. This is the most important thing."

Although my son has had several concubines and concubines in the past few years, he has not had a single legitimate son or daughter. In the future, when the princess marries in, even if she is ugly, she is of noble status after all. If she gives birth to a legitimate son or daughter in the future, it will definitely increase the value of this marquisate.

Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang nodded slightly after hearing his mother's words, but he was thinking to himself: I had seen Princess Fengyang twice before, and I had been astonished by her beauty from afar. I never thought that one day, this angel-like princess would be given to me in marriage.

I just don't know whether the rash on the princess's face is scary or not, and whether it can recover in the future. If it can, I will get a great deal.

But then again, Princess Fengyang didn't get the rash earlier or later, but just when she was about to get married, she got a rash all over her face. Is there something here that she doesn't know about?

Thinking of the rumors in the streets, Li Kang shook his head, feeling a little unconvinced. If Lord Wei, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, really liked Princess Fengyang, he would have asked the emperor for her hand in marriage long ago with his prominent family background. It is impossible that there would be no movement for so many years.

There must be another reason behind this, Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang thought to himself.
