Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

After seeing Cui Siwan off, Chu Yun was feeling listless and drowsy.

"Yunyun, don't sleep! Yan Huaiji sent Song Zhaoming to kill you. That Song fellow is holding poisonous insects and wants to put them in your courtyard to kill you!" Banjin said anxiously.

Chu Yun was jolted awake, all sleepiness gone.

poisonous insect?

Yan Huaiji and Song Zhaoming, you two are truly heartless.

If poisoning fails, then they release poisonous insects to harm me?

This courtyard is no longer safe to stay in.

"Qingyuan, Qingying, come with me to see my grandmother."

Song Zhaoming finally managed to sneak into the inner courtyard but found nothing, so he could only leave with a frown on his face.

"Grandmother, A-Yun wants to cancel her engagement with the Second Prince." Chu Yun knelt before Madam Xie, her voice firm.

When Madam Xie saw Chu Yun come to pay her respects, her usually stern expression softened. However, before she could even smile, she saw her beloved kneeling on the ground, repeatedly saying that she wanted to annul the engagement.

Madam Xie's face stiffened as she glanced at Li Mama beside her.

Madam Li understood immediately and sent the maids from inside the room to the outer room.

Why did you suddenly have such thoughts?

"Is someone gossiping about you? Tell your grandmother, and she'll stand up for you."

"No matter what happened, get up first. The ground is cold, and your body can't take it."

Chu Yun shook her head, showing no intention of getting up.

"No, it was A-Yun's own idea."

"The incident of falling into the water at the poetry gathering has damaged Ah Yun's reputation, making her unworthy of entering the royal family."

Madam Xie's face was ashen as she looked at her granddaughter kneeling below. Hearing her self-deprecating words, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She knew, of course, that breaking off the engagement was the best option at the moment.

But she couldn't bear to. If the engagement were to be called off, in order to save face for the royal family, Chu Yun would have no choice but to be the one at fault.

After being rejected by the royal family, where can she find a good family to marry into?

"Ah Yun, things aren't as bad as you think..." Old Madam Xie wanted to persuade her further.

“Grandmother, A-Yun knows in her heart that even if the Second Prince doesn’t care about this matter and is willing to marry A-Yun, the incident of falling into the water will always be a thorn in his heart.”

It's hard to guarantee that His Highness won't regret it in the future. If that really happens, and she falls out of favor with her husband, A-Yun will truly be isolated and helpless, and may even implicate the Xie and Lin families.

After falling into the water, Ah Yun's health deteriorated further. Entering the palace is like entering a deep sea, and Ah Yun may not be able to fulfill the duties of a prince's consort.

Grandmother, please grant A-Yun's wish.

After Chu Yun finished speaking, she kowtowed to the ground.

This engagement must be called off, otherwise Yan Huaiji will not let her off the hook. With a knife hanging over her head, Chu Yun could not eat or sleep in peace.

Furthermore, if she really marries Yan Huaiji, how will she win the hearts of Pei Jianzhi, Yan Jinyu, and Song Zhaoming?

Chu Yun kowtowed so earnestly that she didn't get up, clearly indicating that she was determined to break off the engagement.

When Madam Xie thought of Chu Yun's health, she wondered what would happen if she really married into the royal family.

Thinking of how Chu Yun, who was so tiny, struggled to grow up to be this big today, how could I bear to let her marry into the royal family and suffer?

The Xie family did not want to get involved in the royal power struggles, and Consort Jiang repeatedly brought up the marriage agreement, both openly and secretly trying to win over the Xie family.

This is truly putting the Xie family in a very difficult position.

With a flood of thoughts overwhelming her, Madam Xie felt a headache coming on. She sighed softly, "Fine, I'll listen to you."

Even if Chu Yun really can't get married, can't the Xie family afford to support a young lady from a secluded family?

Madam Xie stood up, personally helped Chu Yun up, and patted her head, saying, "With your maternal grandmother here, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Chu Yun rubbed her palm against hers. "Yes, with Grandma around, A-Yun isn't afraid of anything."

The rumors couldn't be suppressed any longer, and it was a foregone conclusion that Chu Yun's reputation would be damaged.

The longer it drags on, the more humiliating it will be for the royal family.

The matter of annulment could not be delayed any longer. After discussing it with Second Master Xie and Madam Liang, the Second Master Xie went to pay his respects to Emperor Qing'an the next day after court.

Since Chen Chuyun is in poor health and unable to fulfill her duties as an imperial concubine, the Xie family is deeply grateful for the Emperor's great favor and dares not marry an unfortunate woman into the royal family. Therefore, they specially request the Emperor to cancel the engagement between Chuyun and the Second Prince.

After careful consideration, Emperor Qing'an finally ordered the annulment of the engagement and issued a decree to confer upon Chu Yun the title of Princess of Anle County.

Inside and outside the palace, countless eyes were watching this marriage. The Xie family, being astute, requested to dissolve the engagement, claiming that Chu Yun was too weak to accept the emperor's favor, thus saving face for the royal family. Emperor Qing'an was also happy to give Chu Yun face and bestowed upon her the title of county princess, which further demonstrated the royal family's benevolence.

As for the real reason for the annulment, as long as it's not made public, who would dare to say anything?

The day after the engagement was called off, Consort Jiang summoned Chu Yun to the palace. Old Madam Xie, worried about her, also went with her.

Chang Le Palace

Consort Jiang took a sip of tea and casually glanced at Chu Yun, who was bowing to her.

Chu Yun entered the palace today, dressed in a more charming and festive manner, wearing a pink dress and applying lipstick and eyebrow makeup to enhance her complexion.

She rarely dressed up like this; she usually preferred to wear white dresses. This morning, when she went out, her stunning beauty dazzled both Madam Liang and Old Madam Xie.

Consort Jiang was no exception.

She had to admit that, even after seeing all the beauties in the imperial harem, Lin Chuyun's appearance was definitely among the top three.

Moreover, she is only fifteen years old and has not yet fully grown up. Her features are still somewhat immature. If she grows older, who knows how beautiful she will be.

What's even more remarkable is that this child possesses a composure and calmness that is rare for someone her age.

A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance. Her demeanor is extraordinary, refined and graceful, like a secluded orchid blooming in a valley, its fragrance wafting gently, leaving a lasting impression.

Consort Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she put down her teacup. "Rise quickly and have a seat."

After thanking them again, Madam Xie and Chu Yun took their seats.

Consort Jiang smiled and said, "This must be Chu Yun. Old Madam Xie has done a good job raising her. I knew she was a good child the moment I saw her, and I like her very much."

"Good child, come closer and let me see you." Consort Jiang beckoned to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun lowered her brows and walked forward obediently.

“Come to me, don’t be afraid,” Consort Jiang said again.

Chu Yun approached Consort Jiang more cautiously. Consort Jiang grabbed Chu Yun's hand, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and pretended to put it on Chu Yun.

Chu Yun: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine..."

Consort Jiang guessed what Chu Yun was going to say and immediately said, "You mustn't refuse. Although you and my son are destined to be apart, I really like you. Consider this bracelet a gift for our first meeting. You must accept it."

Having said that, Chu Yun dared not refuse, "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."

"Good girl." Consort Jiang slowly put the bracelet on Chu Yun's wrist.

The emerald green color further accentuated Chu Yun's skin, making it appear as smooth as jade.

"Beautiful!" Consort Jiang exclaimed.

She pulled Chu Yun aside and talked to her for a while, her attitude very intimate.

Before leaving, he bestowed many treasures upon the guests, several large boxes of them, which were seen by many people as they were being moved around.

Consort Jiang bestowed a generous reward upon Princess Anle, and her reputation for tolerance and kindness spread throughout the palace.

Those outside the palace who had been eagerly hoping for a falling out between the Jiang and Xie families also gave up on their plans.
