The extremely suppressed atmosphere was broken by this hurried voice, and the queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Sighing softly, the queen slowed down her voice: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Xiao Changhai quickly stepped over the threshold and bowed to the queen respectfully: "Old slave greets the queen and the princesses."

"Eunuch Xiao, please come out." The queen raised her eyes, "What do you want to do?"

The air was quiet, and Xiao Changhai smiled respectfully: "I heard from Miss Qinglian that Princess Nanyang wants to see me, so I came here."

The queen's eyes darkened, and she smiled calmly: "Princess Nanyang is so big that even I dare not order Eunuch Xiao like this."

"The queen is so embarrassed." Xiao Changhai leaned over, "As long as the queen orders, I will die."

That's what he said, but it was just a lie.

After all, which concubine in the harem would be so stupid as to order the chief steward around the emperor at will?

Xiao Changhai turned to Yan Li and saluted: "Your Highness Princess summoned me, can you give me an order?"

Yan Li said calmly: "Please ask General Manager Xiao to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion again and pass a message to the Ninth Prince."

"Princess, please speak."

"Southern Emperor, Northern King, Eastern Lord, Western Prince."

Xiao Changhai pondered for a while, not knowing what this sentence had to do with the emperor's marriage. He didn't know who the Southern Emperor, Northern King, or Eastern Lord, Western Prince, but Miss Yan was now the treasure in front of the emperor, and he must not go against her wishes.

So General Manager Xiao quickly took his leave and decided to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion again in person - taking the rejected imperial edict, and relaying Yan Li's words to the Ninth Prince Mu Cang word for word.

After hearing this, Mu Cang's expression obviously tightened: "Did Yan Li say this in person?"

"Yes, I dare not fool the prince, it was indeed said by Miss Yan in person."

Mu Cang's handsome face was calm, but there were some ripples in his eyes, which were always indifferent. He did not speak immediately, and was silent for a long time, "Give me the imperial edict."

Xiao Changhai almost thought he had heard it wrong, and said in a low voice: "Prince... Prince, what did you say?"

"Imperial edict."

Oh, the imperial edict.

Xiao Changhai hurriedly took out the imperial edict, respectfully placed it on the desk, and then respectfully left, not even daring to ask one more question: "Did the prince receive the edict?"

After putting down the imperial edict, he hurriedly turned around and left, not daring to delay for a moment.

Southern Emperor, Northern King, Eastern Lord, Western Prince?

Mu Cang looked at the imperial edict granting marriage on the desk. His slender fingers let go of the teacup, slowly picked up the imperial edict and unfolded it, staring at the words "Princess Nanyang" on the bright yellow imperial edict, and remained silent for a long time.

After Xiao Changhai left, Fengyi Palace was strangely silent for a moment.

"Do you think you can make the Ninth Prince agree to this marriage by being mysterious?" Mu Xue snorted coldly, breaking the silence, "What a wishful thinking."

Except for Mu Xue, the other princesses looked at each other cautiously, lowered their eyes and stopped talking.

As concubine princesses, they learned to read people's expressions when they were young. Yan Li's performance was different from the rumors. She was not afraid of the queen, the legitimate princess, the queen mother and the queen mother. No matter if she was really brainless, relying on the emperor's favor to succeed, or really had the confidence of winning, they should not be stupid enough to trouble her at this critical moment.

If she won, those who troubled her would be punished by the emperor later. Look at the queen mother and the queen mother who are still kneeling outside. Know.

If she lost, the queen would not thank them for taking advantage of Yan Li.

In short, there is no benefit.

And Yan Li looks too weird, so wait and see.

"Yan Li." The Queen probably saw that Yan Li was determined not to be hard-pressed, so she had to slow down her tone, "I know that the Queen Mother's breaking off the engagement has hurt you a lot, and you are still angry. As long as you agree to go and plead with the Queen, I will decide to marry you to the Queen Mother as her concubine. What do you think?"

Queen Mother's concubine?

Yan Li almost laughed. She looked at the Queen with a very cold, very sarcastic, and very incredible look as if she had heard a big joke: "Let me be the Queen Mother's concubine?"

The Queen frowned: "Not a concubine, but a concubine——"

"A concubine is also a concubine." Yan Li interrupted her, "It's just that the Jiang family's legitimate daughter outside treats the Queen Mother as a hot commodity. I'm not blind. Not to mention a concubine, even the main wife is impossible. The Queen really loves to joke."

As soon as these words came out, The queen's face visibly turned cold: "Yan Li, why are you pretending to be so noble? If you really can't even look down on the queen, why are you in a hurry to marry the Ninth Prince?"

"The Ninth Prince is the Ninth Prince, and he is completely different from the queen." Yan Li stood up and looked down at the queen, her voice was even colder than frost, "The queen is not worthy of being compared with him." Tianlai Novel Network

After saying this, she turned and left without even the etiquette of leaving.

The queen's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and her fingers wearing exquisite armor tightly grasped the teacup, almost unable to resist smashing the teacup on her forehead.

This damn little bitch!

She must tear her into pieces and let her die without a burial place!

Several princesses were silent, their faces pale, they probably never thought that there was someone in the palace who was so bold and dared to be so arrogant in front of the queen.

Is Yan Li really stupid, or is she really stupid?

When she stepped out of the palace, Yan Li inevitably met the eyes of Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue. She looked at Jiang Jingyue in a good mood. In the past few days, the Concubine Dowager accompanied the Dowager to kneel in Fengyi Palace to copy the "Tao Te Ching" every day. For two hours in the afternoon and two hours in the afternoon, Jiang Jingyue's delicate body could hardly bear it. She was shaky and the pain was written on her face.

But she had to eat even if she couldn't bear it. Who made her the Concubine Dowager?

No matter how painful it was for her to kneel, even if her knees hurt like a needle, she didn't dare to be lazy. She endured the inhuman torture and copied every word.

Even the Queen didn't dare to open their mouths to let them get up, because once it was heard by the Emperor, it was very likely that they would not even be able to keep the position of the crown prince.

Jiang Jingyue dreamed of becoming the Queen in the future. How could she watch the Crown Prince's position lose its security?

So she could only endure, endure with strength, endure painfully, and endure until the day when all the sufferings would end and happiness would come.

"The Queen Mother and the Concubine are truly a loving couple, sharing happiness and hardships together." Yan Li said mockingly, "It is admirable."

After that, she walked away from Fengyi Palace leisurely, leaving the two people full of resentment to continue kneeling and copying books.

Bitch!

Jiang Jingyue cursed fiercely in her heart, but did not dare to curse out loud at all, fearing that she would destroy her gentle and lovely image in the Queen Mother's heart.

But she did not know that no matter how gentle and considerate she acted, how affectionate she was, Mu Xiuhan, who had suffered so much, had no intention of looking at her at all. He was already dissatisfied with the Taifu Mansion in his heart.

If the Jiang family had not been unable to handle even this little thing, would he have been punished like this?
