Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Xiao Xiyan felt a sense of crisis.

After Marquis Zhenbei left, Jiang Lianzhu sat back in her carriage and watched Xiao Xiyan's efforts to get closer to the eldest prince from a distance.

"Things are unpredictable."

Liu Qingqing sat next to Jiang Lianzhu, warming herself by the fire, eating the taro in her hand and complaining at the same time.

She also heard what Zhenbei Hou said.

Liu Qingqing broke off half of the taro in his hand and handed it to Jiang Lianzhu. The taro was roasted very authentically by Liu Qingqing. Not only was it golden inside, but it also smelled particularly sweet.

After Jiang Lianzhu took a bite, she couldn't help but praise it.

"Liu Qingqing, is there anything in this world that you can't do? I find that you are simply omnipotent!"

"Shopkeeper, now you realize that I am a treasure!"

"Yes, you are an endless treasure. I took a huge advantage by picking you up!"

Jiang Lianzhu responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. After you return to Beijing, I will definitely give you a promotion and a salary increase to ensure that you can continue to live a happy life waiting for death."

Liu Qingqing and Jiang Lianzhu, the master and servant, were playing and joking in a corner of the team, relaxed and at ease.

But Xiao Xiyan couldn't feel at ease for a moment.

As their carriage got closer and closer to the capital, Xiao Xiyan's heart became extremely anxious!In the end, she couldn't help but go to see the Queen Mother.

Inside the spacious carriage.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and bowed to the Buddha. When she saw Xiao Xiyan rushing in, she frowned, but in the end she decided that the palace people around the carriage were farther away.

"Tell me, why did you come to see the Aijia with a sad face?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was still willing to help her, Xiao Xiyan immediately moved closer to the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie, I heard from my father that the Yingyue Kingdom was defeated and sued for peace. Is the princess of their country really going to come and get married?"

The news of the marriage was told to Xiao Xiyan by Prime Minister Xiao. She couldn't believe it and didn't give up. She insisted on coming to this carriage to see the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this.

"Your father doesn't know the importance of it either. Why would he tell you such a thing when you are recuperating?"

What the Queen Mother values ​​most now is the child in Xiao Xiyan's belly. This is the most important thing to her, and everything else can be discussed.

"If my aunt doesn't confirm that my father is telling me now, is it possible that he will wait until the eldest prince and Princess Yao Yue get married before telling me?"

Xiao Xiyan did not expect that the Queen Mother would blame her father for telling her the truth.

"Okay, that's not what my aunt meant. The Aijia just want to tell you that the support you have now is unparalleled by others."

The Queen Mother had something to say and glanced at Xiao Xiyan's belly.

But what Xiao Xiyan wants in her life is not to be a concubine!How could she, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, be willing to succumb to others?

"Auntie, does the princess of the Yue Kingdom have to be promised to the eldest prince? Since she is here to express the goodwill between the two countries, she can also choose His Majesty!"

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Xiyan said without hesitation.

The next moment, he was directly reprimanded by the Queen Mother.

"Invite the Moon Country to make peace with our court. Although our country is slightly better and defeated them in the war, if the princess is really promised to the emperor, the other party will definitely not give up!"

The emperor is already old, but the princess of Yaoyue Kingdom is still young.

In these years, the emperor rarely even walked around the harem. How could such an emperor who did not pay attention to sexual desire include the princess of Yue Kingdom in his harem at this time?

"That means this matter must be done by the eldest prince..."

Xiao Xiyan was completely discouraged.

In fact, Xiao Xiyan already knew the answer when she came to see the Queen Mother.

Looking at the court, apart from His Majesty, the only ones who can marry Princess Yao Yue Kingdom are the princes of the royal family.

The prince is the crown prince of a country, and the prince is weak, and the princess of the Yue Kingdom is a foreigner. If she becomes the crown prince, then the prince will be in trouble because of his poor health, and the people who control the court will very likely become like this. A princess from the Moon Kingdom.

Since he had anticipated this incident, the emperor would naturally not lay the foundation for the disaster.

By the same token, any prince who is likely to inherit the throne and become an emperor is not the best candidate to invite the princess of the Moon Kingdom to marry him.

The eldest prince is lame.

When choosing the next heir in the royal family, one must choose one with sound limbs.

At this point, the eldest prince was no longer destined for the supreme position of the royal family.

The emperor chose the eldest prince to get married, which not only preserved the dignity of Yao Yue Kingdom, but also preserved the court and eliminated the root cause of the problem.

This is undoubtedly the best choice for the royal family and the people of the world.

The only person who felt that this choice was not good was Xiao Xiyan.

Her unwillingness and reluctance are nothing compared to the peace and stability of the world.

"Xiao Xiyan, you are such a stubborn kid, so what if you invite the Princess of the Moon Kingdom to marry the eldest prince? Only the one who wins the heart of the eldest prince will be the final winner."

The Queen Mother was helpless and persuaded.

"You have a child in your belly, which is the best bargaining chip."

After the Queen Mother's dissuasion, Xiao Xiyan reluctantly fell silent.

Shortly after.

Everyone returned to Beijing.

Jiang Lianzhu also returned to the capital she was familiar with again. She was about to ask witnesses to drive the carriage to Lihuayuan, but she unexpectedly saw Yang Fei at the gate of the city.

"lady!"

Yang Fei looked very excited.

Just saying "ma'am", he already yelled in a passionate tone, and the joy in his eyes could not be suppressed.

No matter how stupid Jiang Lianzhu is, she still knows what happened.

"Liao Yunchuan is not dead because of the intricate connections behind it and the secret betrayal at Six Doors. Therefore, I didn't tell you the truth after I discovered the truth."

Yang Fei worked hard on their affairs, and Jiang Lianzhu was ready to explain the reason to him.

"Madam, I don't blame you or your Excellency!"

Yang Fei shook his head vigorously.

"In that case, you follow me back to Lihuayuan. The fact that Liao Yunchuan is not dead has not yet been fully disclosed. We will talk about it in detail on the way."

Jiang Lianzhu was worried that the news would leak out, so she suggested finding a safe place to chat.

"it is good!"

Yang Fei forced himself to be happy and followed Jiang Lianzhu back to Lihua Garden.

"Madam, is your Excellency safe now? Does he need help? If he needs any help, I am willing to help him!"

Yang Fei hurriedly asked.

"He is currently in the Royal Temple. He is in a safe situation and there are people around him. Don't worry about him."

"By the way, he testified that you were investigating and tracking the leader who framed Prince Xiang. Do you have any clues now?"

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu finished speaking, she saw someone rushing to Lihuayuan to see Yang Fei.

When Yang Fei received the news, his original happy expression suddenly disappeared.

"Madam, the subordinates sent by Liumen to follow the person you mentioned lost track of him. They said that person was a very thief and was too vigilant."

"In this case, don't follow me, I will take care of this matter!".
