Shortly after having lunch at the Lin Mansion, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the door in person and conveyed the Queen's decree to the Lin family and Ning Zijun.

The auspicious day for their wedding has been chosen, and it will be the sixth day of the next month.

There is only half a month left to prepare for the wedding.

The empress knew that time was tight, so she specifically asked Emperor Yao to mobilize a group of internal officials and palace officials to assist the two families in preparing for the wedding.

Ning Zijun and the others thanked Wan'en, gathered together to discuss the guest list, and then said goodbye to the Lin family and left.

Later, Ning Zijun and Jiang Quhan went to the Su Mansion together, hoping to learn more about his mother and Fu Jinye from Su Yanqi.

After Ning Ziqing watched them leave, accompanied by Mrs. Fu, she went to the Cao Mansion to see Cao Yanyan.

Because the Cao family does not have a matron, Cao Yanyan is not good at taking care of the back house.

Facing the upcoming wedding, she seemed a little at a loss.

Although Emperor Yao had already sent a nanny to teach her the process and rules of the wedding.

But as the wedding day approaches, Cao Yanyan is still nervous.

She had no choice but to beg Ning Ziqing to accompany her and help her spend this important moment.

But Ning Ziqing had never been married in her previous life, and she didn't know much about wedding preparations, so she brought along the experienced Mrs. Fu.

Thinking that Ning Zijun was about to get married, she also wanted to take this opportunity to familiarize herself with the wedding process.

As the sun set, Jiang Quhan stayed in Su Mansion and had dinner before returning to Fu Mansion.

He returned to his garden to bathe and change clothes, changed into a pair of light green bamboo-patterned straight clothes, and then went straight to Ning Ziqing's Zhuohua Garden.

At this time, Ning Ziqing was leaning on the desk, concentrating on drawing and embroidering pictures.

Jiang Quhan dismissed Yinxiang and others outside the door and walked in quietly.

He quietly observed Ning Ziqing for a while, and then said, "You've been busy all day and night, and you haven't even taken a break."

Ning Ziqing was startled by him and complained with some dissatisfaction: "Can you knock on the door first next time? It will scare people to death!"

Jiang Quhan shrugged proudly and took away the embroidery pattern in her hand.

"Why are you painting mandarin ducks? Are you going to embroider a mandarin duck pillow for your brother?"

Ning Ziqing shook her head and explained with a smile: "I embroidered it for you. Aren't you about to get married? I wanted to embroider some festive gifts for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Quhan's eyes darkened and he crumpled the embroidery picture.

Ning Ziqing hurriedly pried off his fingers.

"What are you doing! I've been painting for a long time!"

Jiang Quhan raised the hand holding the embroidery picture and said angrily: "I won't get married, why are you so worried!"

Ning Ziqing was stunned: "Aren't you engaged to Princess Huimin of Qianye Kingdom? When you get back, the wedding will be held."

Jiang Quhan looked indifferent, threw the paper ball out of the window, stared at Ning Ziqing and said with a smile: "Ning Manman, I'm not cool enough yet, I don't want to get married young."

Ning Ziqing pouted: "Apart from my master, you are the oldest and you are not yet married. Are you addicted to being single?"

Jiang Quhan became angry and shouted at Ning Ziqing: "If it weren't for that bastard Huo Yunjue, I would have been single long ago!"

Ning Ziqing smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, let's stop this matter and never mention it again. Let's move on."

Jiang Quhan glanced at her and turned away angrily, still in a bad mood.

Just as Ning Ziqing was about to coax him down, Yuan Li asked to see Ning Ziqing at the door.

Ning Ziqing motioned for her to come in.

"What's the matter?"

Yuan Li reported back: "Princess, the people over at Huiyue Pavilion seem to be in contact with the second prince."

Ning Ziqing sneered: "They finally couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to get on Huo Yunhong's boat."

Jiang Quhan suggested: "Why don't I have someone get rid of your vicious stepmother and stepsister at once, so that they won't be an eyesore hanging around in front of you!"

As he said this, he made a gesture on his neck.

Ning Ziqing scolded him unhappily: "Why are you always so rude? My stepmother is the mistress of the Hou Mansion after all. If you just kill her, there won't be chaos in Kyoto!"

Jiang Quhan didn't care: "Kill them, and we will naturally deal with them without leaving any traces, so that no one can find them out!"

Ning Ziqing flatly refused: "Don't interfere, I have my own plans, and I have to take care that the Hou Mansion and Sister Cao, who is about to marry into the Song Mansion, will not be implicated."

"Besides, it's so easy to kill them. The poison you gave me can kill them several times. I must have a reasonable reason to kill them!"

Jiang Quhan reminded her: "Aren't you afraid that they will join forces with Huo Yunhong to bite you and deal with Huo Yunjue again?"

Ning Ziqing's eyes sharpened: "This time, I won't give them any chance to hurt me and the people around me!"

She ordered Yuan Li: "You first secretly keep an eye on every move of those two mothers and daughters. I will wait until they think they have a chance of winning, and then let their plan fail!"

Yuanli agreed, turned around and retreated.

Jiang Quhan shook his folding fan and sighed: "Why do you have to go through so much trouble? Do you have to leave these two scorpion-hearted mother and daughter to disgust you?"

Ning Ziqing smiled maliciously and said: "Rather than killing them with one knife and letting them escape instantly, it is better to let them suffer all kinds of torture and slowly feel the pain and despair. It is refreshing to watch!"

She was suddenly cold and filled with murderous intent.

All the sufferings I suffered in my previous life must be taken back from them one by one!

Jiang Quhan gave an appreciative look: "You really got my true inheritance! I will prepare some violent poisons for you and try them on them. It will be very interesting to see them struggling in pain!" "

Ning Ziqing gave a thumbs up knowingly and said in unison with him: "The most poisonous heart of a beautiful woman (beautiful man)!"

……

The Royal Palace, inside Yu Ning Palace.

Emperor Yao was leaning on Ye Yushan's legs with his eyes closed to relax.

Ye Yushan used her delicate hands to gently massage his temples.

At this time, Mo Zhanchen carried the lotus seed soup and bowed into the room.

Eunuch Wu, who was waiting aside, was about to pick him up when Ye Yushan hurriedly stopped him: "Eunuch Wu, I heard His Majesty coughing a few times just now, and I'm really worried about the dragon's health. It's better for Dr. Xuan to come and diagnose His Majesty's Ping An pulse! "

Eunuch Wu paused. He actually heard Emperor Yao's cough. He was afraid that Long was ill and did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately answered Ye Yushan and went out to summon the imperial doctor.

After he left, Ye Yushan motioned for Mo Zhanchen to come forward.

Mo Zhanchen slowly came to the couch. When Ye Yushan reached out to hold the lotus seed soup, he raised his head slightly, winked at her, and then quickly retreated.

Ye Yushan's face tightened, and her eyes instantly turned dark.

The prison robbery plan has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to implement, which greatly increases the risk of her identity being exposed.

Ye Yushan was restless and clenched her fingers unwillingly, trying her best to suppress her emotions.

Emperor Yao noticed the abnormality, opened his eyes and saw her expression was not good, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Concubine Xue? Whoever made you unhappy, tell me."

Ye Yushan calmed down, smiled and said coquettishly: "I am worried about His Majesty's dragon body. I see you haven't slept well these past few days, which makes it hard for me to sleep well."

Emperor Yao sat up and hugged her, smiling happily.

"My beloved concubine is the one who cares about me the most. Unlike those ministers, they argue in court all day long over trivial matters, which almost annoys me to death!"

Emperor Yao was upset when he thought about what happened in the morning court.

While feeding him lotus seed soup, Ye Yushan asked curiously: "Is there anything else that worries Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yao snorted coldly: "It's all caused by King Qian!"

He narrowed his eyes and said with a slightly serious expression: "In a few days, the envoys from various countries will leave. Regarding the assassin, Lao Si has not made any progress yet. I am afraid that the people of Qianye Kingdom will make trouble by then. .”

Ye Yushan comforted him: "I think that since King Qian has made Miss Ning San Princess Yebei, he intends to be on good terms with us. Presumably he will not pursue this matter again!"

Emperor Yao patted her hand lightly and sighed: "The reason why we started quarreling this morning was because of Ning Ziqing."

Ye Yushan was confused: "Why?"

Emperor Yao's eyes darkened: "Originally, the second brother and the others wanted Ning Ziqing to go to Qianye Country to get married. I also think that as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, it is a good thing to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Who would have known that King Qian would come along and dote on her so much that he even named her the noble Princess Yebei. Now her marriage involves too many interests. Therefore, many courtiers asked me to dissolve her relationship with Su Yanqi. The engagement contract will provide her with a more suitable marriage."

Ye Yushan was quite surprised: "How can they make it difficult for Your Majesty to inquire about the marriage that was planned since childhood? If you do this, I'm afraid it will chill Sister Wan Fei's heart!"

"Moreover, I also heard that King Qian has moved to the Su Mansion. He seems to have a good relationship with Su Yanqi. It seems that he has identified Su Yanqi as his consort."

When Emperor Yao heard what she said, he narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he said calmly: "I did have selfish motives before, and Ning Ziqing was too eye-catching. I thought of letting her marry the powerless Sikong Langtuo, so that she would not be able to stir up any trouble. In this way Come, Qianye Kingdom will no longer have any ideas about my princesses!"

"Now, with Ning Ziqing's status, I think it is most suitable for her to marry the businessman Su Yanqi. Concubine Wan should be able to understand my previous painstaking efforts."

Ye Yushan secretly mocked the royal family for being ruthless, but pretended to agree with Emperor Yao's point of view: "I also feel that the princesses are too wealthy to marry and endure the hardships of the Great Saibei Desert thousands of miles away."

Emperor Yao suddenly felt much better after hearing these words, and said with a hearty smile: "My beloved concubine is really considerate. Every time I get along with you, my fatigue dissipates without a trace. I won't go back tonight, my beloved concubine will help me again." I rub my temples."

"The concubine obeys!"

Ye Yushan put down the bowl and helped Emperor Yao lie down again.

Emperor Yao closed his eyes and murmured: "We must urge the fourth child to find out who is behind the assassin as soon as possible so that he can give King Qian a satisfactory explanation!"

Ye Yushan paused for a moment, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.
