"Don't mention this matter. Isn't everything fine now? We should think about how to repay our eldest brother. I plan to treat him to dinner tonight. You please prepare it." An Zhongyuan said excitedly.

Chu was naturally willing to do so and asked An Ranyue to help and personally prepared the dinner.

Dinner party.

Everything became harmonious naturally, and all previous grudges were put aside.

In another room, the old lady knew about this matter. She felt very upset. No one asked her to attend the dinner. She only received two dishes. She was not someone who had never seen good things. Now, her two sons ignored her? They didn't take her seriously? It would be fine if the older one was not her child, but why was the younger one like this? He was henpecked. She was really disappointed.

An Zhongyuan's appointment issue was resolved perfectly.

The relationship between the two families is more harmonious than ever before.

Although Lian Jinyu still disdained Chu's stinginess, things had already come to this. She didn't even know when An Zhongtao had done this to An Zhongyuan. She thought that since they were still brothers, turning hostility into peace was a solution.

Unlike her, she had been thinking about how to drive the second wife out, but she didn't expect that the general did it so easily.

The emperor has granted him a piece of land outside the city to build a minister's residence. Once the mansion is built, they can leave.

This is really a good thing. Then the old lady can go with them.

However, this matter did not go as she had imagined. Half a year later, after the Minister's Mansion was built, Chu said that the new mansion was not suitable for the old lady to live in. She asked someone to look at the Feng Shui, and the Feng Shui master said this.

The old lady was almost angry to death. She asked her son again, but An Zhongyuan was henpecked. Besides, the old lady had caused so many problems, so he thought that he should settle his wife first and then slowly take her over.

So, the old lady stayed in the general's mansion.

But she was no longer the 'emperor emeritus'. An Zhongtao was a filial son, but he just couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, so he gradually became indifferent to the old lady. He did not reduce the amount of money he spent on her food, clothing and other expenses, but her words no longer had any power in his eyes.

The old lady herself knew that her own son would not support her, and the man she had always harmed still did not abandon her. Although she had no face to live here, she thought that if she died, it would really harm them. The life of being unable to live and unable to die was really hard to bear.

Of course, this is all later.

At the moment, An Zhongyuan is in high spirits. He attends court every day and has to attend social events. He is extremely busy for a while.

An Ranyue was also proud, and An Mingbo was also waiting to be assigned an official position.

In short, the general's mansion has become lively during this period.

Inside the palace.

Concubine Shu has not been active recently. She goes to pay her respects to Empress Yun every day. In fact, she has always behaved very well. Empress Yun knows that if it were someone else, they would not be able to discover her true face. Only her keen sense has helped her more than once.

This Shu Guifei has always been trying to win the emperor's favor, and her feelings for him are intriguing.

She was neither cold nor hot, so she managed to keep the emperor's enthusiasm for her. This was her method, which made Queen Yun admire her.

Concubine Shu was naturally smart. Lian Jinrong's death made her feel that there was a master in the general's mansion. She knew that her cousin was not an easy person to deal with, but she ended up like this. She heard her son's report and knew that she was poisoned. She should have told the emperor about this matter, but she felt that there was no need to do so. Unless she planned to have the coffin opened for an autopsy, she had no evidence.

Such a commotion would inevitably cause the General's Mansion to be in opposition to him, and if he lost the support of the General's Mansion and only had An Yanran, it would be a huge loss.

So, she finally decided to sit back and do nothing.

But that doesn't mean she will let the General's Mansion go.

But now it seems that she has no power to go against them.

Fortunately, her own son gave up An Qingran, otherwise she would have no choice.

She came to Feng Palace as usual. Concubine Xian was also there. They greeted each other politely. Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Sister Queen, have you heard of the Four Wonders of the Capital?"

The Queen shook her head. "What four unique skills?"

"There were originally three great talents in the capital, but now there is one more, the Crown Princess An Qingran. She is a master in poetry, calligraphy and dance, so some people have named her the leader of the four great talents."

Queen Yun was also very happy when she heard this: "This child..."

She was embarrassed to praise her daughter-in-law, so she stopped.

Concubine Shu smiled and continued, "I have always wondered what kind of person is worthy of the prince. Thinking back, only the eldest daughter of the An family has a noble demeanor. Ye'er had a crush on her at the beginning. To be honest, I was really afraid that Ye'er would offend the child. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and gave Miss An to the prince. It is really a happy thing."

The two people spoke according to the queen's thoughts, one saying something after another. After the two people left, Queen Yun calmed down. It seemed that as long as she was not in the palace, she would be in trouble all the time, and someone was still thinking about her.

Seeing that the six-month deadline was coming soon, she didn't know what would happen after she died. She stood up and walked around on the ground. Dongfang Jin came in at that moment: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

When Queen Yun saw the Crown Prince coming in, she smiled kindly, "Where are you from? Have you met your father?"

"I left the palace and went to play chess with Master Kong." Dongfang Jin helped Queen Yun sit down. "Mother, why do you ask this?"

"Well, let me ask you, do you want to marry An Qingran into the palace as soon as possible?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Jin's eyes lit up. Queen Yun looked at him and shook her head and smiled: "It seems that you really are looking forward to her entering the palace."

Dongfang Jin nodded seriously: "The child's thoughts will not be hidden from her mother. If she can enter the palace earlier, I don't have to worry about her being hurt..."

"What's going on? Is someone plotting against her?" Queen Yun frowned.

Dongfang Jin sighed: "I'm afraid someone is plotting against her."

Queen Yun laughed: "You kid, you really scared your mother."

"Mother, so many things happened to her before. If she had entered the palace earlier, her face would not have been ruined..."

"You really don't care that she's disfigured?"

"I care." Dongfang Jin said, "But if she wasn't there, my son really wouldn't care about anything."

This is the truth.

It was impossible not to care about her appearance. The reason he cared about her appearance was more because he felt sorry for her.

It's just because she takes it lightly.

He cares more about that person.

When Queen Yun saw the Crown Prince like this, she became more resolute in her previous idea. But how could she think of an explanation that would make the Emperor agree to their early wedding?
