The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.
Chapter 198 That is the Qin Palace
Liao Qinglan never expected that the opportunity she had been waiting for would come so soon.
Outside the courtyard, a eunuch walked hurriedly.
He cleared his throat and read aloud: "Your Majesty's order, the Queen's birthday is coming soon, and a birthday banquet will be held in the palace in three days. Princess Liao of Prince Qin is summoned to the palace to attend. I decree this."
Liao Qinglan tilted her head to look at Gu Mingzhao, then stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch, didn't His Majesty seal the Qin Palace?"
The eunuch replied respectfully, "Your Highness, you are too kind. His Majesty only punished you with house arrest, and did not restrict you, Princess. Moreover, the Queen has a good impression of you, Princess, and she especially interceded for you, which is why we have this opportunity today."
Liao Qinglan's heart moved, and she continued to ask: "What about His Highness? Can he enter the palace with us?"
The eunuch hesitated and said, "This... His Majesty is still angry, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to wait for a while. However, Princess can take this opportunity to plead for Your Highness, maybe His Majesty will change his mind."
Liao Qinglan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me, eunuch. I will go to the palace alone and will not let down the Queen's kindness."
After the eunuch left, Liao Qinglan's heart was filled with indescribable joy.
His Majesty's permission to let her leave the palace was undoubtedly sending a signal to the court and the public - the Qin Palace had not lost its power.
With such a signal, all civil and military officials have to reconsider how much importance Ah Zhao holds in His Majesty's heart.
In this way, when Ah Zhao returns to the court in the future, he will not have difficulty in taking steps because of this confinement.
After the eunuch left, Liao Qinglan said with a smile: "A Zhao, His Majesty has agreed to let me go. I think it won't be long before he lets you go."
Gu Mingzhao said: "It doesn't matter to me whether you go out or not. But you can take this opportunity to meet Wang Tingzhi."
"I think so too. As the Queen's biological nephew, Wang Tingzhi must attend this kind of occasion even if he doesn't want to see guests on weekdays," Liao Qinglan analyzed.
"I'll send a message to Qin Xiaoxiao, and ask her to seize the opportunity and bring Wang Tingzhi to meet us." Gu Mingzhao said.
"We?" Liao Qinglan looked at him. "Aren't you still under house arrest?"
"I was worried about you going into the palace alone, so I followed you in secret."
"Is this... too risky?" Liao Qinglan opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that he would openly disobey the imperial edict.
"It's okay, as long as we aren't discovered." Gu Mingzhao said.
Liao Qinglan had confidence in Gu Mingzhao's skills, so she said nothing more.
The two of them went to the storehouse of the Prince of Qin's Mansion to choose a birthday gift for the Queen.
*
The palace is mysterious and solemn with its red bricks and green tiles.
The Queen's birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.
Liao Qinglan came in slowly, wearing a light green dress.
Her dress was plain in color, like the tender buds on branches in early spring, neither dignified nor ostentatious.
There was simply a white jade hairpin inserted in her bun, which complemented her temperament and made her look elegant and refined.
Liao Qinglan's skin was originally fair, and after five years of sleep, it became even more crystal clear and her temperament was outstanding.
She had been away from the social circles in the capital for a long time, and many new nobles or young girls in the court did not know her.
But when she walked into the palace banquet hall, her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The ladies and young ladies who were originally chatting or playing turned their eyes to her, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.
Although the King of Qin was under house arrest, Li Zheng did not mention deposing his position as regent.
Therefore, under the gaze of everyone, Liao Qinglan, under the guidance of the eunuchs, became the chief seat below the Queen.
Many of the people who came today were young girls in their teens, and had never seen Liao Qinglan before.
Seeing that she was so young but sitting in such an honorable position, people couldn't help but whisper to each other out of curiosity.
"Whose family is that sister from? Why is she sitting so close to the ground?" a lady in pink palace dress asked quietly.
"You can't just call her 'sister'. You have to call her Princess Qin!" Her mother was right beside her. When she heard this, she quickly stopped her and said, "She is the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Liao, and now the Princess Qin."
"Princess Qin!"
The younger ladies were amazed and started whispering to each other.
"This is the legendary Princess Qin who made His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin wait for five years!"
"She is indeed stunningly beautiful. No wonder the powerful Regent Prince is obsessed with her."
"Yes, with a wife like this, it's no wonder that His Highness can no longer tolerate anyone else."
"If I were a man, and had a woman like the princess by my side, I would only need her."
Girls who are not yet of marriageable age are at the age when they speak their mind. While they were talking, they would glance at Qin Yanran from time to time.
Qin Yanran also noticed that many eyes were staring at her.
On the surface, she maintained a decent smile and talked generously with the people around her, but she was already furious inside.
Her eyes inadvertently swept across Liao Qinglan in the distance, and an indescribable feeling of jealousy surged in her heart, making it difficult to calm down.
Why! Why do people all think Liao Qinglan is good?
Qin Yanran asked herself indignantly in her heart.
She believed that she was no worse than Liao Qinglan in appearance, and was even better in some aspects.
Moreover, from the arts of calligraphy, chess, and painting that he had learned, he felt that his talent was not inferior to anyone else.
Just because she was shameless and threw herself into the arms of Gu Mingzhao, and used despicable means to become the Princess of Qin, she is so popular!
If it weren't for Liao Qinglan's identity as Princess Qin, who would think she was so special?
All the praise Liao Qinglan received came from the title of "Princess Qin".
And everything should have belonged to her, Qin Yanran!
Qin Yanran's fingers unconsciously stroked the jade cup in her hand, her heart filled with resentment and resentment.
Even until the palace banquet began, she still looked at Liao Qinglan from time to time, her eyes full of resentment.
The lights came on, the emperor and empress arrived, and the palace banquet officially began.
The position of Wang Tingzhi and Qin Xiaoxiao was right opposite Liao Qinglan.
After not seeing each other for many years, Qin Xiaoxiao's changes are really impressive.
She used to be gorgeous in red clothes, but now she is no longer the same as before.
Now dressed in dark palace attire, she has lost her passion and looks much more stable.
Wang Tingzhi's appearance didn't change much, but his eyes were dull and he kept his eyes down.
As a result, his temperament became much more gloomy, less vigorous and energetic than before, and more vicissitudes of life.
Both of them have changed. The hardships of life have made them no longer as vigorous as they used to be.
Liao Qinglan sighed silently in her heart.
I hope Zhao didn't randomly match a pair of mandarin ducks and make them become a couple of enemies...
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly, her eyes passed through the crowd and met Liao Qinglan's eyes. She nodded at Liao Qinglan imperceptibly as a greeting.
Liao Qinglan understood and smiled back at her.
The palace banquet continued, and Liao Qinglan and Qin Xiaoxiao were waiting for the right time to leave and meet to talk in detail.
