Everything the queen says is right

Chapter 202 Chapter 202, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives
Jinlan?

Ah Cha chewed the name slowly in his mouth.

The name is a pretty good one, but trapped in this deep palace, even my own name has been submerged, and I can only be called by my title.

It's sad and deplorable.

"Jinlan, I hope you can think about it again."

Ah Cha also put away the pretense he used to claim himself, and spoke sincerely.

Jin Lan did not deal with her, but answered after silence.

"I will seriously consider it."

She said she was considering it, but in fact she was also very hesitant. The hurdle in her heart was always something she couldn't get over.

She has been in the palace for so many years, so why doesn't she like the freedom outside the palace?

But if she takes that step, how will she explain it to her sweetheart?

Ah Cha naturally noticed her hesitation and knew that it would take some time.

"Jinlan, we have been talking for so long. It's time to call the eldest princess in for a cup of hot tea."

Jinlan was obviously stunned when she heard the eldest princess's name again.

It has been many years since she and the eldest princess sat and drank tea face to face.

After that incident, they never sat together calmly again.

In fact, when she heard the eldest princess's voice in the palace today, she was in a daze.

She was very hesitant, not knowing whether she should see the eldest princess again.

But in the end, the complicated emotions in her heart for her long-time friend made her bring the eldest princess to the palace.

That was just an impulsive choice.

But if she were to have tea with the eldest princess now, she really didn't know how to face the eldest princess.

When the eldest princess treated her like that without saying a word, she had many questions in her mind, but none of them could be asked.

"Goddess, I think... I won't see her anymore."

After Jin Lan said these words hesitantly, her eyes were blurred by tears that burst out.

"Goddess, it's not convenient for me to have guests again, so please come back another day."

Acha was suddenly ordered to be kicked out, and Ah Cha knew why, but he still looked at her intently.

"Jinlan, do you really don't want to see her?"

But what she responded to was Jin Lan's more firm shake of the head and some affirmation.

"Yes, please ask the goddess to come alone another day. Don't let her come again."

Ah Cha was shocked and couldn't help but raise the volume.

"Jin Lan, you..."

"Goddess, I have made up my mind. I will not see her next time she comes."

Jin Lan wiped away her tears and looked into the distance calmly.

"Goddess, please come back."

Ugh.

Ah Cha sighed silently in her heart, feeling a little at a loss.

Why would this pair of former friends end up like this?

Acha wanted to persuade her again, but when she thought that she was an outsider after all, she stopped talking.

"Okay, then I will take the first step with the eldest princess."

Now for Yu Jinlan, it would be better to have some time to calm down and think about it.

"Ah."

Ah Cha pushed open the door of the tea room and looked up to see the dazzling sunshine on the horizon.

She looked back and saw that the sun shone through the cracks in the house and Jinlan's body, coating everything with a faint golden light.

At this moment, Jinlan looked sad but also with an indescribable sense of leisure.

It was obvious at a glance that she did not belong in this deep palace.

Ah Cha instantly understood that this was also one of the eldest princess’s handiwork.

The eldest princess has grown up in a deep palace since she was a child. Even when she became an adult, she was bound by the rules of the world.

But Jinlan is different.

Jinlan is a bird that grows freely in the vast world, and her heart is full of distant places.

If the bird is imprisoned in a gorgeous cage one day, the best ending it can have is that it will not be manipulated by others and live alone and comfortably.

It seems that the eldest princess really has a secret that she has revealed to Jinlan.

Ah Cha nodded slightly to her and strode out of the palace.

The eldest princess was already waiting for her on the palace road.

Seeing Ah Cha approaching, the eldest princess spoke without any hesitation.

"She probably won't see me again, so let's leave."

Ah Cha paused and looked at her deeply several times.

"Have you really decided?"

She saw the flash of regret and sadness in the eldest princess's eyes just now, so she raised such a question.

She knew that just because the two of them were unwilling to speak to each other, it would be difficult for them to talk about it in this life.

Father, like son.

Ah Cha felt that it was still necessary for him to create some opportunities for them.

"Comrade Princess, Jin Lan has just told me everything that happened between you, including the truth about when she entered the palace and what happened after she entered the palace."

"But she still refused to help us deceive the emperor, so you see..."

Ah tea actually also has an element of gambling in it.

She was not sure whether the secret of Jinlan, a former friend, was more important in the princess's heart, or whether it was the secret of overthrowing the Dog Emperor to create a new world.

The former is the eldest princess's personal feelings, while the latter concerns the people of the world.

She didn't know how the eldest princess would choose.

Sure enough, her words made the eldest princess silent for a long time. After looking up at the palace door, the eldest princess finally spoke.

"Now that she has told you everything, let me tell you why I did that in the first place."

"Actually, I met her sweetheart, a young general from the Southern Barbarians."

"You also know that the young man is high-spirited, galloping wildly, and has a childhood friendship. Jin Lan has a very strong relationship with him."

"Every time I see it, I feel envious."

"But we all know that Jinlan is a saint of the Southern Barbarians. She will be sacrificed and her life will definitely be lost."

"So at the beginning, I thought about asking my mother to summon Jin Lan into the palace to be my female official. This was the only way I could think of to save her life at that time."

"But why was she called into the palace to become a concubine by a sacred decree?"

Ah Cha helped Jin Lan ask questions she had had for many years.

The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, smiling sadly.

"Yes, why did Jin Lan become a concubine?"

"It's just because just when the edict was about to be issued, I received news of the death of the young general."

"Along with the news of his death came the young general's instructions."

"He knows that I am Jin Lan's best friend, and he also knows that I am the Queen Mother's daughter and the emperor's sister, so I can protect Jin Lan."

"So he begged me to let me hide the news about his death from Jinlan for him."

"Moreover, I was asked to protect Jin Lan's life so that Jin Lan would never return to the wolf-like tiger tribe of the Southern Barbarians for the rest of his life."

"He lost his life because of the internal fighting among the Southern Barbarians. He knew very well that Jinlan would eventually return to the Southern Barbarians even if she became a female official."

"So he finally begged me to find a way to keep Jinlan in the palace forever."

The eldest princess stopped talking, but Ah Cha understood the meaning of her words.

"So you agreed and chose to make Jin Lan the concubine of the Dog Emperor?"

"Yes, that's what I did."

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head and raised her voice, as if she was speaking to the palace gate on purpose.

"Later, I went to the emperor's brother specifically and told him that I had found a beauty for him and asked him to stay in the palace."

"After that, I deliberately stopped seeing Jinlan and provoked her at the palace banquet, causing her to come and question me."

"Then, I led a group of palace concubines to severely humiliate her and trample her self-esteem under my feet."

"Sure enough, she was really disappointed in me, so she closed the palace door and never saw anyone again."

The eldest princess was already choked up when she said this.

But Acha knew that these were not the whole truth of the matter.

"Then why does Jinlan retain his title by the Dog Emperor, and why can he even live in this palace and live a prosperous life?"

The palace and the paradise-like scenery in this secret place of escape are the best proof.

Ah Cha would never believe that the Dog Emperor would reach this point simply because he cared about Jinlan's appearance.

There are thousands of women in the world, but the emperor is the most ruthless. The Dog Emperor will never go out of his way to break his own principles for a tribute girl from the Southern Barbarians.

But the dog emperor couldn't do this, but the eldest princess could.

"Comrade Princess, if I guess correctly, these are all obtained in exchange for your conditions with the Dog Emperor."

Seeing that she was reluctant to answer his question, Ah Cha directly expressed his guess.

"The Dog Emperor must have ordered you to sacrifice something, and then in exchange for it, he ordered Jin Lan to enter the palace, and then cooperated with you to make Jin Lan fall out of favor and be trapped alone in this deep palace. "

"Because in your opinion, if Jin Lan stays in the palace forever, she will have no chance of returning to the Southern Barbarians, and her life will never be in danger."

Seeing that Ah Cha had guessed this step, the eldest princess felt that there was nothing to hide.

"Yes, I made an exchange with the Dog Emperor."

"I will marry the general in exchange for giving him the largest military power in the country, and he will make Jinlan his concubine."

"One thing for one thing is a trade without losing money. Besides, the Dog Emperor was determined to take back the military power at that time. If I had followed his wishes, I could have saved the general's life."

"Sacrificing one of me can buy the lives of two people. It's not a loss."

The eldest princess seemed to speak calmly, but Ah Cha could hear the sadness in her words.

The Dog Emperor's abacus was also very good.

Since ancient times, the eldest princess's consort was not allowed to hold real power in the court. Once the eldest princess got married, the military power would definitely be handed over regardless of whether the general was willing or not.

What's more, after taking back military power, he would have many beauties to play with in his harem, so the dog emperor had no reason not to agree.

The eldest princess was still young at that time, but she sacrificed her life's happiness for her best friend.Just when she thought of this, the vermilion palace door opened again.

"boom--"

This time the voice was heavier and more urgent than before.

It was Jin Lan who opened the palace door with red and swollen eyes.

"Why do you want to sacrifice your life's happiness for me?"

This is a question, but also a relief between friends who have been friends for many years.

She never thought that behind her ability to live peacefully in the palace was the sacrifice of the eldest princess.

"Jin Ronghua, you are worrying too much. I didn't sacrifice my life's happiness for you."

The eldest princess looked closely into her eyes and said word for word: "I just wanted to save the general who serves the country and the people, and at the same time, I saved you."

Typical soft-spoken and soft-hearted.

Ah Cha was helpless when he heard this.

How could the eldest princess not do this just for Jin Lan?

It has come to this point, the dusty past has been solved. As long as they talk to each other, they can be reconciled as before, so why bother doing this again.

"Comrade Princess, please don't be so harsh and speak politely."

"Haosheng said? I don't think there is anything I need to tell her Haosheng?"

The eldest princess curled her lips after a round of ridicule and walked away without looking back.

No, to put it more appropriately, it was almost running.

Ah Cha did not miss the crystal tears hanging on the corners of the eldest princess's eyes.

She believed Jinlan also saw it.

The eldest princess has gone far, and it would not be good for her to stay here any longer.

"Jin Lan, you have heard the story behind that past today. I hope you can think about it carefully."

"You are best friends and can make sacrifices for each other, so what else can't you say?"

"I still need to chase her, so I left first."

Acha's words stunned Jinlan for a few seconds before he responded.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

What they didn't know was that after they both left, Jin Lan stared blankly at the direction the eldest princess was heading away for a long time.

Of course, Ah Cha now wants to catch up with the eldest princess.

The eldest princess walked too fast and didn't speak at all. After returning to the pavilion, she left the imperial garden and walked to the palace gate to get on the carriage.

After they all got on the carriage, Ah Cha couldn't bear the words all the way and finally asked.

"Comrade Princess, since you have already told the truth behind the past, why do you need to hide from her?"

"I didn't hide from her." The eldest princess saw her eyes on her clothes and said very quietly, "I just don't know how to face her."

"I did make an exchange with the Dog Emperor in exchange for her status and freedom, but she will still be trapped in the palace forever, but she is a person who loves freedom very much."

"We haven't seen each other for so many years. After she knows the truth about how she has been trapped in the palace for so many years, I am not sure whether she still wants to see me or whether she will hate me."

The eldest princess laughed to herself.

"It was already my fault that I made decisions about her future life without authorization and deliberately insulted her. I don't have the face to see her."

Hearing what the eldest princess said, Ah Cha couldn't agree at all.

"Comrade Princess, you just changed your mind temporarily and chose a path that you thought could protect her throughout her life. You even sacrificed your marriage for her."

"You decided your future life for her without permission, and you even insulted her first, but you did all of this for a reason, not intentionally."

"Now that she knows the truth, why don't you sit down and have a good chat with her?"

"Let's talk?" The eldest princess shook her head, "She may not want to see me again."

Ah Cha finally discovered that the eldest princess was extremely unsure of what she was doing.

Subconsciously, the decision he made for Jin Lan harmed Jin Lan's life, and even dragged himself into huge guilt.

"If you don't meet her, how do you know whether she will blame you?"

The eldest princess didn't speak, and just looked at the street outside the carriage.

"Maybe, I'll see her again if I have the chance."

What a chance.

Ah Cha understands what the eldest princess is saying very well.

He said that he had a chance, but he just flinched and didn't know how to answer. He was prepared to keep numbing himself like this.

But she also knew very well that the eldest princess also wanted to see Jinlan again.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for the eldest princess to take her to see Jin Lan today, and she would have told the truth in front of Jin Lan's palace knowing that Jin Lan would hear their conversation.

Putting all this together, it was just that the eldest princess lacked some courage and wanted to see her former friends again, but she didn't want to face Jin Lan.

It seems that we still have to find an opportunity for them to meet again.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity would come after the flower viewing party.

This time after Princess Acha returned from the palace, she did not deal with other things, but focused on the flower viewing banquet.

No matter which way you look at it, the flower viewing banquet is the first priority they have to deal with now.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain, and the flower viewing party started as scheduled.

Early in the morning, the eldest princess greeted the lady and the prince who came to the banquet in front of the mansion.

Yes, the men participating in the flower viewing feast this time were not the sons of any aristocratic families, but only the princes born to the Dog Emperor.

Anyway, this is a flower viewing banquet organized by the Queen Mother, and the purpose has been made very clear a long time ago. There is nothing to hide.

Some of the ladies and ladies who came here were extremely happy and wanted to marry into the royal family and rise to heaven, but some of them were afraid of falling into a den of tigers and wolves.

And those princes had their own evil intentions, and they only wanted to pick a woman from a good family background to help them fight for the throne.

So when we get together, everyone can be considered to have evil intentions.

But these are not that important anymore.

Because the two most crucial characters have yet to appear.

One is the prince, and the other is Acha.

The two of them were quite aware of their status, especially the prince, who felt that he was the crown prince, and that he would have to arrive late at such a flower-viewing banquet to be worthy of his status.

Therefore, the prince stayed at the prince's residence with his own thoughts and never left.

However, Ah Cha also had other plans and had been ordering people to keep a close eye on the prince's movements.

Her main purpose today was to create various coincidences with the prince, and finally have a secret conversation to successfully arouse the emperor's suspicion of the prince.

That is extremely important in the order of time to reach the flower viewing feast.

She could only achieve the final effect by making time to arrive at the flower-viewing banquet just in time.

"Goddess, the prince has already left."

At the moment when she heard Zuoqiuge's report, Acha's eyes lit up.

This opportunity can be regarded as something she has been waiting for.

If she had waited any longer, she would have almost thought that the prince was preparing to stay at the mansion and not attend the flower-viewing banquet.

"Let's go. Since the prince has set off, let's follow him."

Although Prince's Mansion and Tingyuyuan are not in the same direction, they will pass through some places together, and if the carriage is deliberately driven slower, coincidences will occur.

Ah Cha had already sent someone to calculate the distance to travel, so he was even more certain of winning.

"Prince, the goddess's carriage seems to be behind us."

The driver of the car was a smart man. He knew that all the prince wanted was to make his final appearance. After seeing Ah Cha's carriage, he did not dare to hide it at all and chose to report it immediately.

"What! The goddess's carriage is right behind?"

The prince, who was still concentrating with his eyes closed, felt as if a firecracker had been set off when he heard these words, and his anger skyrocketed.

"No matter what you do, I must be the last one to arrive!"

This is the order given by the prince to the coachman.

Just kidding, he also focused on pointing out that he was the last to arrive, highlighting his noble status as the crown prince.

Moreover, today is the day to meet the right young lady. Only if he arrives last, those young ladies will secretly agree to their love after seeing the ugly faces of other princes.

Of course, these are all the prince's inner dramas.

It's a good thing that Ah Cha didn't know, otherwise she would have laughed for three days and three nights.

The other princes were ugly, but the prince's appearance was not much better, just half-weight.

It's nothing more than saying that one can laugh at fifty steps and laugh at one hundred steps.

But these are not important. The most nervous person at the moment is the coachman who has received the prince's order.

The goddess's carriage followed them. Even if he had ten more courages, he would not dare to confront the goddess. He would stop the carriage openly and offend the goddess.

So after struggling for a long time, he slowed down the carriage and drove the carriage to the side of the road as hard as possible to make way for the goddess's carriage.

Even after doing all this, he felt that it was not enough, so when Ah Cha's carriage approached, he took the initiative to reveal his purpose.

"My Lady Goddess, Your Highness, please go ahead."

This was the most thoughtful thing the coachman could think of.

In a word, he did not disobey the prince's order, nor did he offend the prince. He was able to successfully let the goddess's carriage go first.

What he didn't know was that after hearing these words, Acha's lips opened into a big smile.

Good guy, the prince is really good at giving away people's lives, and he just pushed the opportunity to his side.

If she didn't accept it, wouldn't she be very sorry for the prince's kindness?

Thinking of this, Ah Cha also raised his voice and replied: "Then I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for making way."

In just one sentence, Ah Cha concluded the prince's behavior.

If she guessed correctly, the emperor's eyes and ears had already been lying around.

Now the meeting between her and the prince in the carriage, coupled with her words just now, were all heard.

So she only had to deliberately act like she was familiar with the prince, and then hint that she and the prince seemed to have some contacts in private, and that was enough.

Last time, the prince was unwilling to accept the invitation and asked the eldest princess to deliver the invitation in person. However, this time the prince took the initiative to make way for him. What would the emperor think?
Comparing the two, the emperor must have doubts.

Then her goal has been achieved.

So after saying that, Acha ordered Zuoqiuge to keep the prince's carriage in the last order and drive the carriage slowly and leisurely to the eldest princess's residence.

"Goddess arrives—"

"His Royal Highness is here—"
