Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

"Snapped!"

Lan Fei smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.

The eunuch lowered his head even further in fear, pleading, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

“Useless. Zhang Xiucheng is also a useless person. He can’t even catch a sickly person. How dare he sit in the position of Minister of Revenue?”

It's been so long, Guan Suying has been on the run for so long and still hasn't fallen into Zhang Xiucheng's hands.

She should be made to wish she were dead.

What's most infuriating is that the spies she placed in Wuyun County actually died, and not a single clue was found.

This even involves Gu Nanfeng. What does it have to do with him?

That damned Gu Nanfeng, she'll remember this.

"My dear consort, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Just as Consort Lan was about to dismiss the servants, she suddenly heard the Emperor's voice. Startled, her face changed, and she hurriedly went to greet him.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here so suddenly?"

Xuanyuan Hongye, dressed in a cloud-patterned casual robe, was tall and imposing. He arrived with Eunuch Wei. After entering, he glanced around the hall and said, "I just finished reviewing the memorials and came to see my beloved concubine. I heard that she has been suffering from liver fire lately, and the palace furnishings have been changed several times, but she is not feeling well."

Consort Lan felt nervous and immediately spoke gently and considerately, "The servants are clumsy in their work, that's why I was a little short-tempered, Your Majesty, I was wrong."

Xuanyuan Hongye didn't even glance at the kneeling eunuch. "I thought it was something serious. Is this all that my beloved concubine should be angry about? This servant has done something wrong. Drag him out."

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The eunuch only managed to utter four words before his mouth was covered and he was dragged out.

Watching helplessly as yet another trusted confidante was lost, Consort Lan's heart was bleeding, but she could only swallow her anger.

She feigned a shy expression and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, but it is still a human life, so please spare him."

This is the umpteenth confidante she's had. She runs into her every time the Emperor comes, and she has to make up an excuse, which gets her confidante dragged away.

If this continues, she will have no one left to use in the palace.

Xuan Yuan Hongye's eyes held amusement. "Anything that angers my beloved concubine is no small matter."

I never noticed before, but this woman is quite a good actress; she acts very well.

Consort Lan was seething with hatred inside, but she couldn't show it on her face.

"How is the Guan family doing lately?" Xuan Yuan Hongye asked.

"I haven't heard any rumors lately, but I suppose it's still the same. Your Majesty knows how stubborn my sister is, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Consort Lan personally brewed tea for Xuanyuan Hongye, looking quite troubled.

As long as Guan Suying agrees to remarry Zhang Xiucheng as a secondary wife, the Emperor can take the opportunity to reclaim the imperial edict from the Zhang family.

She could have earned merit with the Emperor, but that vile woman Guan Suyi ran away.

She must keep this matter a secret from the Emperor for now and not let him know.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Just as Consort Lan was about to invite the Emperor to dinner, Eunuch Wei entered.

"Your Majesty, someone from Consort Xian's palace has come and said that the Consort has fainted from anger."

Xuanyuan Hongye stood up abruptly. "How could someone suddenly faint from anger? Who dares to do this! I'll go see!"

"Emperor~"

Consort Lan was so angry that she stomped her feet when she saw Xuan Yuan Hongye leave.

Everyone's here, yet she still couldn't keep them. When will she finally conceive a dragon's child?

That shameless Consort Xian, at her age with wrinkles on her face, actually resorts to such means to win favor.

She remembered this grudge.

In Consort Xian's palace.

Xian'an knelt on the ground, acting like a bachelor, "I don't want to get married. Those noble ladies are all like wooden figures, all carved from the same mold. They all smile the same way. What's the point? I don't like any of them."

Consort Xian was so angry upon hearing her nephew's words that her temples throbbed.

"You look down on her, but she doesn't even look at you, a spoiled brat. Who gave you the right to be so picky!"

Her brother and sister-in-law asked her to arrange a marriage for Xian'an. That brat is driving her crazy.

Xian'an clicked his tongue twice, "That's settled then. Since they don't like each other, why do they have to get together and ruin other people's lives and mine? They want to take advantage of my innocent body, and I feel wronged."

Consort Xian pointed at him, her hand trembling, "You wretched child, are you trying to anger me to death, and then your parents to death too?!"

Consort Xian was lying on the chaise longue, clutching her chest.

"emperor!"

Upon seeing the Emperor arrive, he hurriedly rose and bowed.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong?" Xuan Yuan Hongye helped Consort Xian up.

Upon hearing the word "beloved consort," Consort Xian rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself, "Your entire harem is full of your beloved consorts."

With a pained expression, she said, "Your Majesty, I have a terrible headache. I feel dizzy and my vision is going to go black. I'm afraid I'm going to die of anger."

Xian'an bowed, knelt on the ground, and whispered his defense, "How did I make you angry? You're the ones who insisted on getting so angry, and now you're blaming me for it."

When Xuanyuan Hongye heard that Xian'an refused to marry him and mentioned that those noble ladies were after his body, he was speechless.

"My beloved, don't be so angry. It's not too late for a man to get married even if he's twenty-five or twenty-six."

"Luming Academy will be recruiting new students soon. We should let Xian'an join as well, which will make things easier for her marriage."

When a noblewoman from a prominent family marries, she is not only picky about the family background but also about the man's personal abilities. With Xian'an's dissolute appearance, finding a husband is indeed difficult.

Those from low social standing are ignorant, narrow-minded, and lack manners.

This blatant backdoor deal made Consort Xian almost burst with joy inside, but she still spoke with a shocked and uneasy expression.

"Your Majesty, Luming Academy is a place to cultivate pillars of society for you. How can Xian'an, this rotten apple, be allowed to enter, lest he ruin the whole pot of porridge."

Xuanyuan Hongye laughed and said, "My dear concubine, how can you say that about your nephew? This boy may not be good at studying, but he is quite smart."

Xian'an chuckled, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and said with a fawning expression, "Your Majesty, Uncle, you still love me the most."

Seeing this sycophantic behavior, Consort Xian became even angrier. "Xian'an, how dare you be so shameless! You dare to call the Emperor 'uncle'?!"

Xuanyuan Hongye was actually in a good mood. "Haha, this kid has a very interesting personality. I like him quite a bit. It's decided then."

Xian'an didn't linger and left the palace.

Thinking to himself, "I wonder if Jiang Changtian will come to study at Luming Academy."

Jiang Changtian is here, will Madam Lin come too?

……

……

"Yun girl, there probably aren't any inns ahead. Let's rest in the wilderness. It's rained today, so there must be lots of wild mushrooms. Don't you want to pick some?"

It had been drizzling for the past two days, and we hadn't spent the night outside. Today the weather cleared up, and Old Xu snuggled up to Lin Shuyun.

Before Lin Shuyun could speak, Qin Niangzi spoke up.

"Old man, you want to eat wild mushrooms? When we get back to the inn, I'll stir-fry a pot of dried wild mushrooms for you, so you can eat them until you're sick of them."

Jiang Changtian also said righteously, "Godfather, no, it's not safe outside."
