Chapter 179: Guest from afar.
I don’t know whether this change is good or bad.
She just knew that the most important thing at present was her mother and her younger brother(Didi)!
That expensive brother(Didi).
The prediction of master Kong will be revealed soon. She is a little nervous. She hopes that he is right, but she doesn't want him to be correct. If he is right, she will enter the palace and become an Empress, but she still does not know who will be the future Emperor!
Is it Kang Wang? If so, isn’t her struggle in this life a waste of time?
She was so busy that she hasn’t changed anything, how can it be?
Could it be Dongfang Jin?
His physical problems worry her. Although she could detoxify him, when he was poisoned, who knew where he was and whether she would be able to do it in time?
When she thought of the prince, An Qingran felt something strange in her heart. She told herself not to think about it. She had to practise hard now. There were still many medical books left by her uncle. The more she read, the more she felt that she had to learn too much.
Tl note,: fang is house, room, branch members of family. changfang is the eldest house. basically is An zhong tao's family.
The old Furen was angry, but she couldn’t grasp any handle of changfang(eldest house). An Zhongtao didn’t have much recently. Lian Jinyu was also devoted to raising her foetus. And Lian Jinrong, this chess piece could not be used anymore. As for An Yanran, she is a little girl who just feels sad now and doesn't look very cheerful. However, her granddaughter is also a failure. She can't feel proud after doing such a scandal.
In short, everything goes wrong.
What she is most afraid of now is that An Qingran has some relationship with the people in the palace. She was rescued by the Empress, and the Empress praised her a lot. Then won’t she really enter the palace? She had heard Master Kong’s words* and thinking about it all the time. If An qingran really entered the palace, then if I wanted to help An Zhongyuan to get the General’s Mansion, it would not be easy.
Tl note: this is not about An Qingran becoming an Empress. This means when he tells about Lian Jinyu’s son. He will become a high level person.
The peaceful days passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the fetus in Lian Jinyu's abdomen was already nine months old. She had a big belly every day. It was very hard, but she was very happy.
It's getting cold and snowflakes are starting to fall.
It had been an exceptionally hard year, and An Qingran felt like she had spent her entire life's worth of scheming in this year.
Nothing big happened in the palace, and Dongfang Jin was not given a marriage.
As for this matter, An Qingran was not aware of it, and Prime Minister Lou also found it strange. After the banquet, he purposely stayed in the palace and asked the Empress why there had been a change in what had been agreed upon. Of course, he asked the question very skillfully so that no one would think it was a forced question. Having his daughter marry the Crown Prince was the best thing he could have planned.
The Empress told him with great sincerity that Lou Wanyue was a good girl, and the crown prince Dongfang Jin was very fond of playing. If she was given a marriage, she would enter the palace early. At a young age, she might not be able to endure loneliness and would only be heartbroken to the crown prince.
Therefore, she planned to observe for a while longer and bring it up again after the Crown Prince had been stabilized.
Because the Empress said it politely, but the result of hearing the Prime Minister's ears was the same, that is, for some reason, the Empress changed her mind.
This matter, he felt very surprised. He did not find any changes in the court, how could there be such a change?
Does the Empress have a better candidate in her heart?
He couldn't guess, but just assumed that the Empress was really planning for Lou Wanyue.
On this day, the sky was rarely sunny, and the General's residence welcomed a guest.
In fact, the old lady had greeted this guest half a month ago.
She is the niece of the old lady, also An Zhongtao’s cousin, Shen Biyun.
At that time, when the old lady mentioned this matter at the dinner, An Qingran was also present. She didn’t think much about it. She was just a close relative who came as a refugee.
Shen Biyun’s life experience is also very pitiful. In those years, she married Qin Shulin, a scholar. At the beginning, the husband and wife were harmonious and their life was very good. Five years after marriage, she gave birth to a son, Qin Yaozu. However, heaven did not go according to people’s wishes. Qin Shulin got sick two years later after he had a son. He had been lingering for a long time. Finally, spent all the family’s savings. He died early this year.
Shen Biyun drag to raise her child till now. But She can’t endure it anymore. She had troubles with her family when she married Qin Shulin. Besides, there were brothers and sisters-in-law at home, so it was not good for her to go back. Remembering that her aunt loved her the most, so she wrote a letter to beg her aunt to take her in.
The old lady was sad and surprised when she saw the letter. This niece was very considerate to her. Moreover, she had other plans for asking her to come. Her letter came by chance, so the old lady immediately sent a letter asking the mother and son to come to capital.
When she told An Zhongtao about this matter, An Zhongtao had no objection, but there were two more people, which would not add more than a few taels of silver a month. Not to mention his own cousins, even if they were a side relative, he couldn't see them suffer.
On the day they arrived, the General’s Mansion also specially prepared a welcome dinner. An Qingran didn’t expect that Shen Biyun would turn out to be such a beauty. The hardships of these years left almost no trace on her face, just like a maiden. She was also a little shy, and her son was just seven years old, probably because he lost his father, so he is still a silent child.
An Qingran has a calm temperament and is not very enthusiastic about people when they meet her. However, she found that this aunt is really powerful, and she narrowed the distance between everyone with just a few words.
During the meal, she sat beside the old lady. Because she had cried about her husband’s affairs with the old lady, her eyelids were swollen. During the meal, she looked in a bad mood: “Auntie, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, everyone living better than me…”
With that, her eyes turned red again.
An Qingran felt pity for her indeed. This woman really didn't marry well, and it was really a lifetime thing.
Somehow, she thought of the crown prince and Lou Wanyue, and she couldn’t help but sigh.
The old lady wiped her tears: “From now on, this is your home. Later, don't talk about those politeness, alright?”
Saying that, she looked at An Zhongtao.
The meaning is obvious, let him, the head of the family, express his attitude.
An Zhongtao also smiled and nodded: "Yes, cousin, you will stay here from now on, and the General's Mansion will be your home!"
Hearing this, Shen Biyun wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Lian Jinyu and said, “Cousin in law, I’ll be troubling you from now on.”
Lian Jinyu is also a good-natured person. She didn’t think that much, but she just laughed: “ My mother said that this is your home. you are not an outsider, how can you be polite again?”
It was only then that Shen Biyun broke into a smile.
Qin Yaozu was quiet, An Qingran looked at him pitifully and gave him a chopstick of food, Qin Yaozu was a little timid but still said thank you, however, there was wariness in the bottom of his eyes.
An Qingran understood.
