Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

The two walked to the courtyard in front of the imperial study and saw An Lan standing in the courtyard from afar.

The eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study saw them coming, and trotted over and whispered something in the ear of the eunuch leading the way. After listening, the eunuch leading the way turned around and bowed to them and said, "The emperor has something urgent to do. Please wait here for the message."

The two were not in a hurry and walked towards An Lan.

An Lan turned his back to them and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the imperial study.

"Hello, Princess." Su Yunxuan called out. An Lan turned around, and before the dissatisfaction on his face could fade away, he said with displeasure in his voice: "Are you here?"

Su Yunxuan smiled and nodded in response, and Su Changfeng looked past An Lan towards the imperial study.

An Lan noticed the inquiring look on Su Changfeng's face, pulled Su Yunxuan to the corridor and sat down, saying, "Are you not scared?"

"It's okay as I have Brother Changfeng with me." Su Yunxuan still had a faint smile on her face, and from time to time she glanced at Su Changfeng who was following behind her and whose expression seemed to have become solemn.

"Is it Fengyu built inside?" Su Changfeng sat down on the other side of Su Yunxuan and asked An Lan.

An Lan nodded, then shook his head, "Not only that, the Queen Mother and Qian Luo are also here."

After answering, without waiting for Su Changfeng to speak again, she lowered her eyes and murmured in confusion: "I don't know why they want to see the emperor, but my mother won't let me in. What could be more important than today's peace talks? And Feng Yuqi..."

As if she thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and said sympathetically, "I didn't expect Feng Yuqi to suffer such an injury in order to save Zixi. Not only is he blind, but his legs are also lame. He sits in a wheelchair. I heard from my mother that he entered the palace last night."

"That's not right! Queen Mother and Feng Yuqi have never gotten along, so why did they come together today..." An Lan rolled his eyes and recalled, "Looking at their faces when they came in just now, they seemed... quite harmonious?"

Su Changfeng and Su Yunxuan looked at each other and frowned. Su Yunxuan asked worriedly, "Brother Changfeng, is there anything wrong?"

Su Changfeng looked towards the imperial study again and was about to speak when a woman's voice came from a distance, "Is it okay for me to wait here?"

The voice was familiar. Su Yunxuan looked in the direction of the voice and found it was indeed Shen Qianqian.

Today she wore a light pink brocade bodice, with a white phoenix-tail silk skirt, and the hem of the skirt was decorated with orchids, which seemed to be blooming on her body. Her long hair was tied into a flying fairy bun, with several pink pearl hairpins hanging in it. The hairpins looked good, and the glittering light made her look even more beautiful.

He walked a few steps away from them and stopped. After looking at her and Su Changfeng for a moment with his pupils slightly dilated, his eyes showed disdain, but in a moment they turned into a respectful look. He leaned over and bowed to An Lan and said, "Greetings, Princess."

An Lan's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head to look at Shen Qianqian with a frown.

Although they are of similar age, Shen Qianqian is just not pleasing to her eyes no matter how she looks at her.

Young people have to imitate those women and dress up gaudy and gaudy all day long, like a peacock spreading its tail.

Just the hairpins on her head... there must be five or six of them, right? She doesn't even feel like it's overwhelming!

Rolling his eyes in disdain, An Lan turned to Su Yunxuan.

The girl was wearing the same white embroidered dress, but she didn't look tacky at all. Instead, she looked like an immortal.

The orchid should be much more noble and elegant than the common flowers on her body, but it just makes it look vulgar...

"What's that flower on your skirt?" An Lan asked curiously, raising his hand to touch the embroidery on the hem of Su Yunxuan's skirt.

"Yunxuanhua, also known as forget-me-not." Su Yunxuan replied.

Shen Qianqian clearly felt An Lan's dislike for her. She was so angry that her face turned red, but she still forced a smile and said, "I am well, Princess."

"Get up." An Lan replied indifferently, his eyes still fixed on the Yunxuan flower pattern on Su Yunxuan's body.

After examining and touching it for a while, An Lan exclaimed: "Wow, this embroidery is amazing! There is no duplication of flowers, it is so fresh that it is like being able to smell the fragrance of flowers. Is the circle around the stamens made of gold thread?"

Su Yunxuan looked at Su Changfeng, and Su Changfeng smiled and nodded at An Lan.

An Lan pretended to be displeased and said, "Look at the large patches of Yunxuan flowers on this skirt. A lot of gold and silver threads were used, and there is also this top-quality brocade fabric. You have invested a lot of money. How much manpower and material resources did Nishangfang use? You have to calculate it for me."

Knowing that she must be bored waiting and wanted to tease him, Su Changfeng smiled at Su Yunxuan. After reassuring her, he turned to An Lan and said, "Don't worry, Princess. The things I give her will only go through my private vault. This way, I can show my sincerity, right?"

"You really put your heart into it." An Lan laughed and tilted his head to look at the phoenix hairpin on Su Yunxuan's head.

After looking at it for a moment, he was amazed again: "This phoenix hairpin is so exquisitely made. White jade is added to the pure gold. The design and carving are really amazing."

"I think it's not as good as the one the Queen Mother gave to Qianluo!" Shen Qianqian responded first. After being ignored for a long time, she had already noticed the golden phoenix jade hairpin on Su Yunxuan's head.

After staring at him in envy for a long time, and then listening to An Lan's praise, the dissatisfaction and jealousy in his heart suddenly surged.

One of them couldn't help but realize that something was wrong after she said it. She met An Lan's displeased gaze and her face instantly turned red and white, but she had to stiffen her neck and pretend to remain calm.

She knew very well what the phoenix hairpin represented. The old woman, the Queen Mother, wanted Pei Qianluo to be the queen, so it was fine if she gave her the phoenix hairpin. But why could Princess Yun Sheng, who had been living in exile in Fenglan for so many years, also wear the phoenix hairpin?

Who is she paired with?

Yuqi cousin?

Could it be true, as Pei Qianluo said, that her real enemy was not Pei Qianluo, but the Princess Yun Sheng in front of her?

No, both of them. Fenglan has only one king, and these two are her, Shen Qianqian's enemies.

Shen Qianqian's mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts, and she bit her lip unconsciously.

Seeing her like that, An Lan couldn't bear to make things difficult for her anymore, so he turned to Su Yunxuan again and raised his hand to gently stroke the tassel on her phoenix hairpin.

Su Changfeng said, "This phoenix hairpin was designed by her when she was a child in Yunsheng. She has not returned for a long time, so her father found the best craftsman in Yunsheng and spent a lot of effort to make hundreds of hairpins according to the blueprint before finally picking out the one he was most satisfied with."

"Before the diplomatic mission to Fenglan, her father took it out and ordered me to hand it over to her. This is her private property."

Hearing this, An Lan paused while fiddling with the tassels on Su Yunxuan's head, and squinted at Su Changfeng, pretending to be angry and said, "I don't doubt that it came from Qiyuan Pavilion. Not to mention that Qiyuan Pavilion doesn't have such a unique design, even if it did, no one would dare to privately make a Phoenix hairpin."

"The princess is right." Su Changfeng responded with a smile.

Of course, he wasn't worried that An Lan would be suspicious. He said it on purpose for the two of them to hear.

The hostility in Shen Qianqian's eyes did not escape his sight. It was no secret that Shen Qianqian, like many other noble ladies of Fenglan, was in love with Feng Yuqi. It would be great if he could clearly tell her the origin of the phoenix hairpin to dispel some of Shen Qianqian's hostility.

If not, then just tell them as you did to An Lan, and let them know that the person in front of them is the one held in the palm of the hand of their Emperor Yun Sheng, and not everyone can be easily hostile to him.
