the Fengwu - Palace
Princess Yanning did not return to her Palace, but instead went to Fengwu Palace to meet her Mother.
Earlier, upon hearing the news of her marriage to Ruan Jianmu, Princess Yanning ran away from the Palace and her actions alarmed the Empress.
The empress was worried that her daughter would do something stupid. He also sent someone to find him, but until now there has been no news.
In the main hall, Empress Bai Shuyin dressed in a red Phoenix robe, walked back and forth as she continued to stare at the door to see if her daughter had returned or not.
Empress Bai was thirty-five years old, with regular grooming, she looked like she was thirty and of course very beautiful.
"The Empress, the Princess has returned." Report a Dayang.
Hearing this, the Empress immediately ran out and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her daughter return safely.
But when he remembered his daughter's impulsive attitude, his heart became angry. "Where are you going?"
"Get out of the palace." Princess Yanning replied with a guilty expression.
Before his mother scolded him again, he said. "There's something I want to tell my mom."
"You went to see your Uncle?" Empress asked.
"Yes. But I can't find Uncle anywhere. Then I went to see Jiang Xingyu." Princess Yanning.
The last sentence made the Empress confused.
Without waiting for her Mother to ask again, Princess Yanning immediately told her everything that had happened.
"What?!" The empress was very surprised, suddenly stood up and looked at her daughter excitedly. "Is this true?"
He had a deep enmity with the Ruan family. Now that he had heard this news, he could not contain his emotions.
"Yes." Yeah." Princess Yanning made sure.
"Good job!" The queen is very happy. At the same time also thanked Jiang Xingyu.
But as soon as he thought of something, his heart was worried again.
"Ning'er, Mother originally agreed to let you choose your own future husband. But now it's Mother who has to decide your marriage. If your father decides, your mother is afraid something similar like now will happen again." The Queen said seriously.
Speaking of marriage, Princess Yanning's face became grim again.
"Does my mother have a candidate?" tanyakanya.
"Yes. The only candidate in Mother's heart was young master Chen Ziyue. He is not only handsome, but also has a clean reputation. Besides he's your Uncle's confidant."
This time the Queen's words stunned Princess Yanning. He did not expect the candidate his mother chose was Chen Ziyue.
He did not argue that Chen Ziyue was indeed a handsome young man and of clean reputation, but the problem was that he had always regarded Chen Ziyue as his elder brother.
But now he cannot choose. More precisely cannot refuse. Because, among the many talented young men in the Capital, only Chen Ziyue was a suitable candidate for her.
That is why he decided. "I don't mind. But the most important thing is that he agrees too. Mother can't force it."
"alright. My mother promised not to force it. If young master Chen Ziyue agrees, Mother will announce your marriage at the celebration of the peony festival." Reply Empress.
"Of course I can. Although Miss Jiang has a marriage contract and is not eligible to attend, this is not a deadly rule. Mom will handle it, you don't have to worry." Said the Empress while stroking her daughter's head.
The other...
After Prince Yin and Yuwen Junxiu walked out of the Palace, they headed straight to the Chilan Restaurant for lunch. Prince Yin also sent someone to call Chen Ziyue.
He was sure Chen Ziyue had not heard the news today.
Sure enough! The moment Chen Ziyue heard that Princess Yanning was going to marry Ruan Jianmu, her heart was very sad and at the same time very angry.
Sad that the girl he loved for years would marry someone else. Enraged that the man was Ruan Jianmu, whose family had a bloody feud with the Bai family and was destined to never be at peace.
But luckily Miss Jiang stopped this marriage in time.
He also admired Miss Jiang's brilliant methods. He left Ruan Jianmu completely paralyzed which life like this was no better than death. Oho! It was possible that Ruan Jianmu had repeatedly wanted to end his life.
"Maybe she felt the strength of the Ruan family was quite high, so wanted to suppress her by marrying Ning'er and Ruan Jianmu. But he had grossly underestimated the hostility of the Ruan family and the Bai family." Prince Yin's gaze was extremely cold.
"Although Ning'er managed to avoid this marriage, a similar incident would definitely happen again. Ziyue, I know you really like Ning'er and you don't want to force her. But you should know that only you deserve to marry her." Prince Yin said solemnly.
Chen Ziyue was silent.
As if knowing his worries, Prince Yin said again. "How about you have a discussion with Ning'er first? this way, you'll find out if Ning'er will agree or not."
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyue nodded in agreement and at the same time her heart grew even more worried.
On the other hand, the Queen's movements were quite fast. In the afternoon Jiang Xingyu received an invitation from the Empress, who invited him to attend the celebration of the peony festival to be held in the Palace.
No need to guess, the one who invited her must be Princess Yanning.
"Puteri Ming, Mr. Princess Yanning asked the servant to convey a message to you. He asked you to come early to discuss something." Said the eunuch carrying the invitation letter.
This was the first time Jiang Xingyu had heard someone call her Princess Ming. Where he had even forgotten to still have this identity.
The news that the eldest Miss was invited to the celebration of the peony festival, soon spread throughout the Residence. They make them confused and wonder. But since the Empress invited him, they did not dare to make any assumptions.
The Empress moved quickly not only on one side, but also on the other. He sent his confidant to the Chen House, as a representative of him, to discuss the marriage between young master Chen Ziyue and Princess Yanning.
This was done in secret and only the Empress' confidants knew about it.
The status of the Empress is extraordinary. Of course there were many reliable bodyguards around, so it was not difficult to avoid the Emperor's spies.
In the Chen Family Residence, Chen Ziyue was pensive at the thought of how to talk to Princess Yanning. Even when the Empress confidant came to discuss the marriage, when the Elders in her family asked her opinion, her reaction only continued to nod in agreement.
It could be said that happiness was so fast approaching him, that it made him unable to react normally.
And although this marriage happened out of some interest, he did not care at all. The most important thing was that he would marry the girl he had loved for so many years.
After the Empress confidant left, she immediately ran towards the Yin Prince's Residence.
