Chapter 217: It Must Be her
Note:
Mufei- mother concubine
Gonggong- high level eunuch.
The Emperor admired her modesty very much: “Since you don’t want it, then I will reward it at will…”
On the following day, there was a general amnesty for the whole nation as the mother of the nation recovered.
When An Zhongtao learned this news, An Qingran happened to be sent back by the palace carriage. As soon as she got out of the palanquin, she saw a large number of people from the General's residence kneeling there, which scared An Qingran. Looking again, it turned out that a palace gonggong was there to announce the decree, and right next to him were several boxes of things covered with yellow silk, which turned out to be the Emperor's reward.
Finally the palace people dispersed, and everyone in the General's residence got up and surrounded her. Lian Jin Yu grabbed her hand and looked at her, tears almost falling down her face, "Child, you have suffered ......"
"It was fine at the palace ......"
Lian Jin Yu looked at her as if she had been apart for a long time, and Lian Jin Rong also stepped forward, "Qing Ran, you are truly a meritorious person for the general's house, the emperor's reward is probably enough to pay for your dowry ......"
An Qingran was a little reluctant to listen, but couldn’t say anything.
The old Madam had just come along to receive the decree. She had not thought that she would fall down on her knees and get up for the sake of this granddaughter of hers, being so old herself.
This was nothing, something she hadn't expected and she actually did it, what could this granddaughter not do?
She was really getting frightened.
Because of the matter of An Qing Ran, all the deities in the general's residence are in a different state of mind, others aside for the moment.
Because of An Qingran’s affairs, the various deities in the General’s Mansion are in different moods.The other people aside, it was An Yanran and An Yangyue who were almost furious, they had thought about this result, but they did not expect that she would be so honoured. The emperor even gave her a world-wide pardon behalf for the empress and rewarded An Qingran with so many things, so obviously, her contribution to the General's Residence was really great.
Outclassed them all.
And it was clear that if they wanted to deal with her now, it was unlikely that even the Emperor would have to give her face.
Lian Jinrong was also disappointed, but now she cares more about Shen Biyun. As long as she doesn’t succeed, everything else was a minor matter.
Inside the palace.
Shu Guifei sat in her own palace in a daze, and Kang wang just came in: “Mufei, An Qingran has already been out of the palace. While in the palace, the Taizi met her several times. Maybe the two of them did something.”
“Sit down, why are you anxious?” Shu Guifei said calmly.
Kang wang Dongfang Ye was still a bit afraid of his Mufei, so he sat down obediently. Shu Guifei slowly said: “Now everyone in the world knows that An Qingran saved the Empress niangniang. Why are you in a hurry? She won’t be escape.”
“However, if the Taizi starts first and asks the Empress to make an order for marriage, wouldn’t we have no chance?” Dongfang Ye looked anxious.
Originally he was just playing around with An Qinran, thinking that the more she ignored him, the more he wanted to tease her, but then he slowly realised that he really liked her. As far he can see, he really didn’t find anyone who could compare to her. Her beauty is already faintly splendid that suppress other beauties. And her ability is really surprised him. He found that she is very smart. Such a talented woman should be Kang Wangfei and can help him.
Shu Guifei nodded after hearing the words: “I know your thoughts, if this An Qingran does not enter the Kang Wang Fu, she should not enter the palace either! “
“Mufei, I want her to enter the Kang wang Fu.” Dongfang Ye said very determinedly.
"Well, now that your Royal Mother is healthy and recovered and the world is amnestied, your Royal Father is not in the mood to care about this matter yet, wait for a couple of days ......"
“Yes, now father Emperor is drunk every day.” Dongfang Ye sighed. “It’s just that Mufei, the Empress's recovery, is extremely detrimental to us.”
"Is that something I don't know?" Shu Guifei felt that she had done a foolish thing and lifted a stone to smash her own feet.
For this reason, she had made enemies with Dr. Zhang of the Imperial Hospital.Because he told her with certainty that the Empress did not have many days to live and that her body could not be saved by anyone but the gods.
That’s why she let An Qingran enter the palace and wanted to take this opportunity to deal with her.
But is An Qingran a god?
She is really depressed.
And Empress Yun gave a reward for her loyalty, rewarding her with a few brocades and a great many jewels, which she did not need at all. If she had wanted them, how many carts of jewels would she not have had?
The good thing is that the Emperor does have a different attitude towards her because she invited An Qing Ran, which somewhat makes her heart feel better.
"Son, have you ever thought, if you marry An Qing Ran again, your three concubines are all daughters of the An family. This is not good for our big event, after all, then there is only the An family to support us, it is better to give up An Qing Ran ......"
“No, I just want An Qingran.” Dongfang Ye said domineeringly.
Shu Guifei nodded slightly. No matter what, this matter must be on the agenda. After all, she is not young anymore.
And it was clear that the Crown Prince was also interested in her, and the Crown Prince was their worst enemy, whichever way you look at it.
Mother and son discussed the matter in detail again.
As to what was discussed, no one else knows.
Empress Yun only felt as if her body had inexhaustible energy. The Emperor took her to Bixin Lake, where the water was green and the tender willows on both banks were spitting goose yellow, which was very beautiful.
She stood at the water's edge, looking at the mountains connected in the distance, and sighed quietly as Emperor Yun Qi next to her draped a cloak over her, "The wind is still a little strong, don't catch a cold."
Empress Yun smiled back, under her eyes was tenderness, Emperor Yun Qi looked a little stunned, "Remember when you first entered the palace? You were so young, you were still embarrassed when you saw Zhen......"
“How old are you? Jin’er are all grown so big. Still talk about those things…”
"Well, I would certainly say, back then you danced to amaze the world, now I no longer see that kind of dance ......" Emperor Yun Qi sighed and said, "But that girl Qing Ran, I see that she can still keep up with your footsteps."
“Yes, that little girl is really amazing…”
“Zhen doesn't know how to be grateful to her. Zhen has never been so grateful to anyone.” Emperor Yun Qi said with a smile.
When Empress Yun saw that he was in a good mood, she was just about to mention the matter of the Crown Prince's marriage, just as the boat on the opposite side of the river was rowing over, so she did not say anything, and Emperor Yun Qi got into the boat first, while then stretched out his hand and held her.
"I'm better now, not so delicate." Empress Yun smiled.
She felt that she could wait a little longer regarding the bestowal of marriage.
Empress Yun has been by the Emperor's side for so many years and knows what matters she can and cannot manage, but the Crown Prince's marriage is the one she is most at ease with, and she will never let go of it. Before she was buried, she had to see this matter through to the end. It’s just that she didn’t expect that the Crown Prince and An Qingran’s affairs would have twists and turns. Until she was buried, she only had time to see the beginning, but too late to see the end, and finally ended up regretting it.
