Chapter 54 Why does she do that?

After that, Lu Changqing rose rapidly to the top and was very obedient to the mother and her two children. Chang Meng finally got her reward after all the hardships she had suffered. The ending was good, but after she woke up, she felt that reality was a little different from her dream.

First of all, Fang Qianxue was not dead. Second, Lu Changqing's attitude towards her seemed to be somewhat different from that in his dream, which added many variables.

"Miao Yan," Lu Changqing said with a guilty look, "Last night, after discussing with my mother, I decided to take you in as a concubine. This way, we can save a lot of money on banquets and make Fang accept you."

The woman was wearing a plain loose nightgown, sitting there like a willow in the wind. She was stunned at first, then pushed him away forcefully: "I would never be someone's concubine even if I die."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Please be considerate of me for once." Lu Changqing felt so distressed seeing her like this.

Xu Miaoyan's eyes turned red: "You clearly promised me that you would marry me in a formal ceremony. I was wrong about you..."

"It's not that I don't keep my word, but you know that we were counting on the Queen to grant our marriage, but yesterday you not only failed to tame the Qilin, but you were also injured by it. Now everyone in the court and the public is saying that you are a fake. It's a grace that the Queen didn't get angry." Lu Changqing sighed, "On the contrary, Fang Qianxue was appointed as a second-rank female official, and I have been married to her for five years. It's impossible for me to break up just like that."

"What did you say? Fang was appointed as a second-rank female official," Xu Miaoyan's eyes trembled as she clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, "On what basis did she do that?"

Impossible! Heaven had never said that Fang could be a female official in charge of seals. Something must have gone wrong.

"After you fell unconscious yesterday, Fang went to the horse farm alone and tamed the Qilin beast. The emperor and the empress dowager were very pleased and appointed her as the female official in charge of the Shou'an Palace." Lu Changqing looked at her carefully and said, "I didn't expect Fang to be able to understand Qilin's words..."

Xu Miaoyan frowned and was silent for a moment: "You believe this? She can't possibly speak Qilin language, she must have used some dirty tricks."

Fang Qianxue is the best at acting. She usually pretends to be righteous and dignified. Who knows what tricks she uses behind the scenes? Maybe her embarrassing appearance at the Flower Festival was Fang Qianxue's conspiracy.

"This...what means can be used for this?" Lu Changqing was puzzled.

"I don't know, but she can't possibly speak Qilin language. Maybe she's just lucky," Xu Miaoyan said confidently, "The only meaning of her existence is to serve as a foil for me. When I recover, I will definitely take off her mask!"

The room was quiet for a while, and Lu Changqing was digesting what she had just said.

Could it be that Miao Yan’s embarrassment at the Flower Festival banquet was really Fang Qianxue’s conspiracy?

The most likely place to be tampered with is the bag of medicine powder. Could it be that Fang Qianxue replaced it in advance? She first used the fake medicine powder to make the Qilin go crazy, and then she used the real medicine powder to control the Qilin beast!

It seems to make sense when you think about it this way. After all, Fang Qianxue is very cunning and she might resort to some conspiracy in order to bring down Miao Yan.

"Miao Yan, no matter what, she is now the female official in charge of the seal, and we still cannot offend her," Lu Changqing comforted her, "and the child in your belly can't wait, so why don't you enter as a concubine first, and I will make you my wife later..."

"If you want me to be your concubine, I would rather die!" Xu Miaoyan stroked her belly gently, and suddenly she came up with a plan, "Don't worry, I will ask the queen to grant us marriage."

There is only this one chance to be the heir to the throne. If she enters the house as a concubine, it will be extremely difficult to become the legitimate wife in the future. She will have to be inferior to Fang Qianxue for the rest of her life. She will never accept that.

"You have a solution?" Lu Changqing was surprised. "The Queen is furious about what happened yesterday."

Xu Xiangrui's identity is shaky, and her plan to be named the Holy Maiden of the Nation has fallen through, so she cannot help the Tenth Prince become the Crown Prince.

The Queen and the Prime Minister looked at him with noticeably colder eyes today, not as respectful as before.

"Send me back to the Lu Mansion first. I have something to present to the Queen." Xu Miaoyan looked at the sunlight outside the window, her eyes gradually firming up. "As long as the Queen sees that thing, the marriage will be granted almost certainly."

Not only did Heaven bestow her spiritual energy, but it also gave her the skill of making incense. She had noticed this the last time she entered the palace. Although Empress Yang was beautiful, her complexion was not very good. It was obvious that she had been out of favor for a long time.

And she has a fragrance that can help the queen win back her heart.

"Miao Yan," Lu Changqing picked her up excitedly and turned around the room three times, "You are really my benefactor!"

***

Fang Qianxue had just sat in the carriage when a fat cat jumped in.

"Xuexue! Snow..."

With a "bang", the fur ball fell against the car wall, followed by a "meow" scream.

Fang Qianxue hurriedly picked up the fur ball and brushed off the fallen leaves on its body.
