Chapter 1488 Queen's Test
Emperor Qian looked at his daughter with a serious face. For the first time, he realized that his daughter had grown up. This must be a decision made by his daughter after careful consideration. However, he could not make a decision at the moment, so he sighed and said:

"Anping, I know what you are thinking. Go back first and let me think about it."

Lianyi's purpose of this trip had been achieved, and her presence had been fully felt. She was also sure that Emperor Qian would agree, so she decided to stop while she was ahead and kowtowed solemnly, saying:
"My daughter is willing to sacrifice her life for Daqian and share my father's worries!"

This time Emperor Qian said nothing, but just waved his hand. Lianyi stood up and took two steps back before turning around and walking out of the Qinzheng Hall with his back straight.

Lianyi returned to her palace with Yizhang. Just as she changed into palace clothes, Fu'an, the eunuch who served the Queen, arrived.

Fu'an is the exact opposite of Lai Fu, a skinny eunuch who doesn't like to laugh and always looks at people with a gloomy look. The original owner dislikes this eunuch very much, but usually gives him some respect for the sake of his mother, but in private he treats this eunuch in a very ordinary way.

Lianyi sat in front of the dressing mirror. Cuizhu was combing her hair again. She looked through the mirror at Fuan who was standing behind her with his head bent and asked:
"My Lord, you came to see me. Is there anything that my mother wants to tell me?"

"Princess, the Queen invites the eldest princess to have lunch with her."

"I understand. I will go to see my mother after I have dressed up."

Lianyi agreed readily, and Fuan then bowed and left to report.

In less than an incense stick of time, Cuizhu had combed Lianyi's hair into a bun, and after she had gathered up the loose hair, she asked:
"Princess, what headgear are you wearing today?"

"I will wear the set of oriental pearl headdress that my mother gave me."

"Yes, princess!"

Cuizhu waved her hand back, and Cuizhen, who was in charge of Lianyi's jewelry, immediately took out the headdress Lianyi had mentioned. The two of them helped Lianyi put it on, and then smiled and praised:
"The princess has fair skin, and this headpiece looks especially beautiful, like a bright peach blossom."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Lian Yi smiled and said:

"Cuizhu, Amber, accompany me to Fengyi Palace."

"Yes, princess!"

Lianyi was accompanying her mother for lunch this time, so she did not bring any ceremonial guards. She only brought two senior palace maids and a few followers, and walked to Fengyi Palace.

The meal was already placed on the table in front of the queen, but she kept looking towards the door, as if she was waiting anxiously.

The young man in a yellow robe was silent. He just stared at the food on the table, and it was unclear where his mind was going.

"Ning'er, Anping has arrived, go and greet him."

The queen pushed her dazed son and said with some regret.

"okay!"

The eldest prince Qian Zhaoning immediately came back to his senses, then stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall, just in time to meet Lian Yi who was walking in.

"Sister Imperial, you are here."

"Well, my mother asked me to come over for lunch, and I thought you should be here too."

Lian Yi pursed her lips and smiled, then walked in side by side with the other party, asking as she walked:

"Royal brother, how are your studies going recently? Has the Grand Tutor given you extra homework?"

"We haven't been busy with schoolwork lately. The Master has asked us to read "National Policy" instead."

Qian Zhaoning replied along with Lianyi's words.

"You two siblings, stop chatting. The food is getting cold. Let's eat first."

The Queen said with a smile on her face. Seeing Lianyi's calm expression, the Queen was relieved. She already knew that her daughter had gone to see the Emperor early in the morning. Although her people could not approach the Qinzheng Palace, she guessed that her daughter must have gone to talk about being a hostage, which was at least a good start.

The three of them adhered to the principle of "don't talk while eating" and finished their lunch in silence. After Lianyi rinsed her mouth, the queen couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Anping, I heard that you went to see your father this morning."

Lianyi listened to the other party's tentative tone and suddenly felt sorry for her original body. People say that a mother is strong, and she was not asked to disobey the emperor's order to save her daughter, but she pushed her daughter into the fire pit with her own hands.

Although she knew it was a bad idea, the queen still chose to do it for the sake of her own status and future glory. It can be seen that she did not love her original body very much. At least when it came to weighing the interests, the first thing she gave up was her daughter.

These thoughts only flashed through her mind. Lian Yi nodded calmly and said in the Queen's anxious eyes:
"Mother, don't worry. I will never let my brother be a hostage. I have already told my father that I will go to Luopan Kingdom in place of Ning'er."

After hearing Lian Yi's words, the queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"That's good"

Then she met Lianyi's dark eyes, and suddenly realized that it was wrong to say that. She coughed awkwardly, and then her eyes immediately turned red. She picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, then she choked and said:

"Anping, don't blame your mother for being partial. This is a helpless solution. As long as Ning'er can inherit the throne, there is still a chance to save you.

Without Ning'er, you and I will have a hard time in this palace. No matter which prince inherits the throne in the future, we will not have a good ending."

Lian Yi felt a little nauseous when she saw the other party's hypocritical appearance, but she still cooperated and said:

"My daughter understands. It is said that it takes a thousand days to train an army but only a day to deploy it. My brother has not yet grown into a towering tree and still needs the protection of our mother. My daughter is already an adult and a princess of the royal family, so she should shoulder her own responsibilities.

But the journey is long and arduous, and I don’t know if I will be able to return to Daqian in my lifetime. My daughter is also worried that she will not be able to gain a place in Luopan Country and pave the way for Ning’er.”

Lianyi's eyes also turned red.

Only Qian Zhaoning looked depressed and didn't say a word. He didn't say that he wouldn't let his sister go in his place, nor did he promise to rescue his sister. He just remained silent.

The queen glanced at her son who seemed to be daydreaming, frowned, and turned to Lianyi and said:

"Anping, mother knows that you have been wronged this time. If you go to Luopan Country, you will definitely need to take care of things. I have prepared some things for you to facilitate your work."

After the queen finished speaking, she waved at Fu'an.

Fu'an immediately came over holding a small box, placed the box in front of Lianyi, and then gently opened the lid, revealing the gold, silver, jewellery and jade accessories inside.

Lian Yi smiled gratefully after reading it, and stood up and saluted the queen:

"Thank you, mother, for thinking of me. I will never let you down."

"Why are you being so polite? You and I are mother and daughter, so of course I hope you're well."

The Queen sighed and said.

"Mother, after having dinner with you and my brother today, I will start preparing to leave. I will not come to pay my respects to you in the next few days. Please forgive me."

"My mother knows. Go and prepare. If there is any need, send someone to Fengyi Palace to tell my mother. I will find a solution for you."

"Yes, mother, your daughter will not be polite with you."

Lianyi exchanged a few more words with the Queen before leaving Fengyi Palace with the small box. Once outside the palace, the box was handed over to Cuizhu.

The group walked a short distance when Qian Zhaoning caught up with them:

"Sister, please stay."

My dears, Feng Ling is still overcoming the tribulation. It took me three times to code the three chapters. I have a sore waist and can't sit still. Please forgive me.
