The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

From Jiang Mufan's tone, Rong Lan realized that he seemed to be very familiar with Gu Ruxiao.

Otherwise, why would she wear the dress he designed and even try it on for him...

Rong Lan didn't realize that his emotions were written all over his face.

Jiang Mufan was right next to him and immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

"What's wrong with Lord Rong? You don't look well."

Rong Lan was slightly startled, and subconsciously touched his face, "Is there?"

"Yes." Jiang Mufan looked at his face carefully and gave a positive answer, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"No, it's okay."

Rong Lan picked up the teacup and drank the tea to cover it up, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Gu Ruxiao who was sitting at the top.

Many noble ladies spoke flattering words to her, and men from various families stared at her without taking their eyes off her. Rong Lan suddenly felt that she was an insignificant existence.

She was the most noble woman in Tianfeng Kingdom after the Queen. His extravagant hopes were simply unattainable.

Thinking of this, Rong Lan was about to leave when he heard Shen Qingyan's voice.

"Where is Rong Lan?"

Rong Lan paused and had to move forward.

"The Queen."

Shen Qingyan smiled and asked in a gentle voice: "Lord Rong holds a high position and performs his duties conscientiously. He is a rare talent in Tianfeng Country. Now that he has established a career, he has not yet started a family. It is a pity."

As soon as these words were spoken, Rong Lan felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, I am too kind. I only want to serve my country and my people wholeheartedly, and I don't care about my lifelong affairs."

"Really? That's a shame."

After Shen Qingyan finished speaking, she didn't say anything else.

Now that he had been called out, Rong Lan couldn’t leave.

Gu Ruxiao glanced at Rong Lan quietly and found that he looked normal, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Shen Qingyan, however, took in all the subtle changes between the two of them and said calmly.

"Mu Fan, do you have a favorite woman?"

Jiang Mufan was shocked, knowing that he would not be able to escape sooner or later, so he stepped forward and said.

"Mu Fan doesn't have a favorite woman, but it's up to Sister Yan to decide."

This is what Shen Qingyan was waiting for.

"In that case, what do you think of the eldest princess?"

These words were like pouring a spoonful of cold water into hot oil, shocking everyone instantly.

What? The Queen is actually going to marry the eldest princess to the son of a businessman?

Although this merchant's son is her sworn brother, their identities are too inappropriate.

Gu Ruxiao widened his eyes in shock, pulled Shen Qingyan's sleeve and whispered.

"Sister-in-law, why are you starting to mess around with couples? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Shen Qingyan smiled gently and patted her hands.

"What's inappropriate? I think you two are a perfect match. He becoming your consort won't interfere with your business."

Jiang Mufan was also shocked. With his status, could he marry the eldest princess?

No, even if he can reach her, that won’t work. When he sees Sister Yan in the future, should he call her sister or sister-in-law?

It's a mess.

Rong Lan was also in a mess, as messy as the wind.

How did things turn out like this?

Gu Ruxiao was anxious and immediately looked at Rong Lan.

I never thought that I would meet his eyes.

They were both stunned, and then quickly looked away.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyan decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Mu Fan, Ru Xiao, if you have no objections, I will ask the Emperor to issue an order for this marriage when I return."

"No!"

"No!"

Two people spoke at the same time.

One is Jiang Mufan and the other is Rong Lan.

Shen Qingyan nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.

This young boy is teachable. Is someone finally coming to his senses?

As it turns out, no.

Rong Lan said, "Empress, this is inappropriate."

"What's wrong?"

Rong Lan took a deep breath, but ultimately did not say what was in his mind.

"I feel that the eldest princess is of noble status, and the position of the consort should be of equal status."

Shen Qingyan's expression suddenly turned colder, and she asked in a deep voice.

"You mean, my adopted brother is of low status?"

Rong Lan was shocked and explained quickly.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. What I meant is that the princess' wishes should be followed in this matter."

Shen Qingyan felt a little angry.

What's wrong with this Rong Lan? You didn't even take advantage of the chance I gave you!

I felt a little dissatisfied.

He was obviously so nervous about Gu Ruxiao just now, he was almost flirting with her with his eyes, but he was still so indecisive.

Does Gu Ruxiao have to take the initiative to ask him to marry her?

No, no, this man is not good enough for Ruxiao!

What Jiang Mufan originally wanted to say was the same as Rong Lan's, that his status was indeed not worthy of Gu Ruxiao.

But he had been paying attention to Shen Qingyan's expression. Seeing her slightly regretful look, and then looking at Rong Lan's pale face, he suddenly understood something.

He doubted his own existence, which was originally intended to bring Rong Lan and Gu Ruxiao together. Unfortunately, Rong Lan was not motivated and failed to respond to this provocation.

In a flash, he made a decision.

"Sister Yan, as long as the princess doesn't abandon me, I am willing to be your consort."

"what?"

Gu Ruxiao was so shocked that he stood up immediately.

Is this kid crazy?

This was only their second meeting, and they were already talking about marriage?

Shen Qingyan was also stunned, not to mention the others. The entire banquet was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Some children from noble families couldn't stand it anymore and made sarcastic remarks.

"Mr. Jiang, although you are handsome, your imagination is too beautiful."

"Mr. Jiang is really ambitious. When you become a royal consort, we will definitely go to your shop to take care of your business."

"Mr. Jiang, you are very courageous..."

Implicitly, Jiang Mufan was a vain and greedy pretty boy.

Gu Ruxiao glanced at Rong Lan again and found that he still didn't speak.

Her stubborn temper also came up, she gritted her teeth and spoke loudly.

"Why, are you jealous of Mr. Jiang? I admire his courage. Do you dare?"

"Even if you dare, I despise you cowards and jealous people. I will let him be the eldest princess's consort!"

If Shen Qingyan's words just now were like pouring water into the frying pan, then Gu Ruxiao was like directly exploding a gunpowder bag.

Shen Qingyan was so shocked that it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

That’s not right. How did it turn out like this?

No, wasn’t she here to bring Gu Ruxiao and Rong Lan together?

She originally wanted to use provocation to provoke Rong Lan, but this time, Rong Lan didn't take the bait, and instead dragged Jiang Mufan into it, and he went in voluntarily!

It’s over, it’s even more chaotic.

Little did they know that Gu Ruxiao was sulking while Jiang Mufan was accepting his fate.

Jiang Mufan suddenly thought, if he became the eldest princess's consort, would he be able to see Sister Yan often in the future?

Although such thoughts were unfair to Gu Ruxiao, he could see that she did not like him.

Gu Ruxiao looked at Shen Qingyan, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Sister-in-law, it's settled. Jiang Mufan will be my consort. Please ask the emperor for permission when you return."
