Chapter 240 – Decree of Marriage by Designation
Dongfang Run was somewhat pardoned, “Just asking casually, last time she went to Yuehua Temple, she didn’t look too happy ……”
“Did brother still notice that An Qingran was unhappy?”
Dongfang Ruo Xue saw that her brother was a little embarrassed, so she stopped teasing and instead said in a serious manner, “An Qingran has not been in contact since she returned recently, however, she is a smart woman, even if there are any more matters within the General’s residence, she will handle them.”
She had more or less heard about the fights in the General’s residence.
Dongfang Run nodded, “Understood.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
Dongfang Ruoxue suddenly spoke, “Brother, I’m planning to have a party next month, okay?”
Dongfang Run turned around, with a hint of a smile under his eyes, and nodded his head.

Watching his figure disappear, Dongfang RuoXue sighed, this brother of hers really made her heart ache. He was not a hothead and always seemed light-hearted. Those who did not know him must have thought he was cold-blooded, but she knew that her brother was most long-suffering.
When she thought of An Qingran, her face smiled even more, that little girl, she liked her very much.
If she could be her sister-in-law, she would have no regrets.
They did not know that at the moment, Emperor Yun Qi was sitting in the palace, worrying about the edict. The sooner the marriage about An Qing Ran was settled, the sooner the two sons would give up their hearts, so it was his own sons who would suffer if they waited any longer.
An Qing Ran is an excellent child, not to mention a benefactor to the royal family, he cannot just designate her to any family, that would be a sacrilege to her.
Suddenly Dongfang Run's appearance flashed in his mind, that child is considered a rare stable, and not too much into the heart of the fame and fortune, that child, if matched with An Qingran, is a match made in heaven, he is not without selfishness, if possible, he really want An Qingran to be his daughter-in-law.
From what he could see, she was a very intelligent child.
So, with an idea in mind, he drew up a Imperial decree and asked the Gonggong(eunuch) to give the Shou Wangfu a good news report.
Gonggong was sitting in the carriage, thinking that this was a beautiful job and that the reward he would receive would not be small, not to mention that this was the Shouwang Mansion, which naturally had extraordinary financial resources.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.
He lifted the curtain and was about to get angry when he saw the Crown Prince on his horse, stopping in front of the carriage with an urgent look on his face: “Gonggong, offended, but the matter is urgent, so please understand.”
”The Crown Prince? What does this mean, has the Emperor changed his mind again and summoned his servant back?”
“Gonggong, this Imperial decree will have to wait a little before it is sent, I wonder if Gonggong can accept the whole thing?” Dongfang Jin was rarely serious and humble..
That Gonggong didn’t understand: “This …… Imperial decree minion wouldn’t dare to delay.”

“Only one hour. How about the Gonggong stays here for an hour and leaves the rest to this Crown Prince? This is considered a favour that this Crown Prince owes to the Gonggong.”
“I dare not, I dare not.” The Gonggong was a little alarmed, but still nodded: “This servant is sort of putting his life on the line, only can only delay for one hour, any more and I’m afraid that this servant’s head won’t move ……”
“Thanks, this favour of yours is noted by this palace.” Dongfang Jin finished with only a fist clasp and beat his horse in the direction of the palace.
That Gonggong Huang froze, but vaguely knew that this must have something to do with the contents of the Imperial decree.
The carriage driver was a bit confused, “Chief Steward, our carriage cannot stop in the middle of the road.”
“Isn’t there a teahouse up ahead?” Gonggong Huang said slowly.
The carriage then moved on slowly.
Dongfang Jin’s horse made it all the way to the noon gate, where he threw it down and used his light skills. For the first time, the guards saw the crown prince had lost his composure and they all had a vague feeling that something big was happening.
Dongfang Jin rushed into the Feng Palace, gasping for breath, “Mother, save my son ……”
Before he finished his words, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one go, “Royal Father ointed An Qingran to Dongfang Run. Gonggong Huang was stopped by me and only gave me an extra hour ……”
Empress Yun understood at once, she stood up, “Your Royal Father is really ……”
She looked a little hesitant.
“Mother Empress, erchen just want to marry An Qingran, why can’t Royal Father satisfy this request of erchen?” There was dissatisfaction in Dongfang Jin’s tone.
”Jin’er, you rest a little, Mother Empress mother will go to see your Royal Father, And you, no barging in either, just stay here and wait for Mother Empress to come back, okay?”
Dongfang Jin nodded.
When Emperor Yun Qi saw Empress Yun, his face froze, and obviously, his heart also vaguely felt that something was wrong. The Empress rarely asked him for anything, and could not help but speak, “Ai Fei, why is it so urgent?”
Empress Yun smiled, “Your Majesty, such a big matter is not even told to my concubine, how did Your Majesty bestow marriage to An Qing Ran, she is still considered an old friend after all, I thought Your Majesty would promise her to the Crown Prince ……”
“This matter, it is really not easy to do ……” Emperor Yun Qi’s face showed a difficult expression, “Ai Fei also knows, Kang Wang also mentioned An Qing Ran to me, I can not let her into the palace the reasoning of the empress must also be clear in her heart ……”
”The reason why I can’t allow her to enter the palace is clear to me. I was selfish, thinking that the crown prince could have someone with good medical skills to take care of him, which would be good for his health. If Qingran could find some way to remove the root of his illness, I would die in peace. ……” Empress Yun spoke more and more sadly.
The emperor of Yun Qi saw that she was speaking in a desolate manner, and was also uncomfortable in his heart: “Why are you saying this morose thing again? My heart can’t take any more excitement.”

”It is my fault, Your Majesty, it is just that I was in a hurry, so I also avoided and forgot about it.” There were tears under Empress Yun’s eyes, she was really anxious, her illness was still a few months away from relapsing, by that time, she would not be able to see the Crown Princess, then she would really not be able to rest in peace.
When Emperor Yun Qi saw the Empress like this, his heart was also discouraged: “Good, I will immediately issue a decree to call Eunuch Huang back, and this decree to give the marriage will be considered null and void, okay?”
”My concubine thanks Your Majesty ……”
So Eunuch Huang, who was drinking tea, came back.
He understood in his heart that in the end, the emperor still cared about the crown prince.
This favour of his own was even the right one to sell.
Dongfang Jin was sort of relieved to learn this news. He thought that his father knew his intention and would soon give him the decree to marriage, but after waiting for a few days, there was no movement at all. He could not help but feel distressed and came to his mother again, however Empress Yun, because she knew the Emperor, was even less likely to go to the Emperor immediately.
