This gave Liu Xueyan the illusion that she had fallen to the point where she had to rely on Yun Wanwan's rewards to survive. No matter what she was like, it was impossible for her to fall to this point.

Liu Xueyan was about to refuse Yun Wanwan when she heard her continue, "This hairpin was bought with the Pingxi Marquis' salary, so I'm just offering it as a token of my appreciation. Your Majesty, please feel free to take it. After all, no matter how broke you are, you can't falsely accuse my maid of stealing your hairpin. If this gets out, it won't be me who will be embarrassed, but you, Your Majesty."

This was the first time Liu Xueyan had ever encountered Yun Wanwan so sharp-tongued, and for a moment, she couldn't think of anything to refute her. She also felt indecisive about whether to accept or reject the hairpin Yun Wanwan offered her.

Afterwards, Yun Wanwan may have seen what Liu Xueyan was worried about, and she was particularly "considerate" and handed the hairpin to Liu Xueyan's palace maids, asking them to help Liu Xueyan keep the hairpin.

Liu Xueyan watched the palace maid accept the hairpin handed to her by Yun Wanwan and almost fainted from anger. She wanted to say something to Yun Wanwan, but she couldn't think of anything to say to her. In the end, she could only flee in anger with Yun Wanwan and hurriedly left with the palace maid.

It's just that Rong Chengxuan cheated their family of so much money and gave it all to Yun Wanwan, so naturally the account has to fall on Yun Wanwan. No matter what, Liu Xueyan would never let Yun Wanwan off so easily.

She went to Ji Moyi and got a pass to leave the palace, saying that Pingxi Hou had sent someone to the palace to deliver a message to her, saying that Pingxi Hou missed her very much and wanted to see her very much, and hoped that Ji Moyi could let her leave the palace to see her parents.

Because of what happened in the court today, Ji Moyi felt guilty towards Pingxi Hou. Without Liu Xueyan saying anything, he had already agreed to let Liu Xueyan leave the palace.

Liu Xueyan did not return to Pingxi Marquis's mansion, but made an appointment with Pingxi Marquis to meet at a teahouse outside. When Liu Xueyan arrived, Pingxi Marquis had already been sitting there for a while.

Seeing Liu Xueyan coming, he immediately stood up and was about to salute her. Just as he was about to bend down, Liu Xueyan helped him up. "Father, what are you doing? Father, please don't embarrass your daughter."

After Liu Xueyan sat down with the Marquis of Pingxi, they chatted for a while before getting down to business. "In a few days, the envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty will be coming to the capital for a pilgrimage. If you have anything you want to do, you can take advantage of that time. Prince An is in charge of this welcoming banquet, and he hasn't slept for several days to ensure it goes smoothly."

"We should take advantage of this moment to strike. Rong Chengxuan is completely focused on the welcoming banquet and won't be able to take care of Yun Wanwan at all."

After listening to what Pingxi Hou said, Liu Xueyan had other considerations. She just said that she would make arrangements herself and did not talk about this matter with Pingxi Hou anymore.

After the Western Zhou envoys entered the palace, Liu Xueyan secretly contacted them, intending to stage a grand show with them. Fortunately, the Western Zhou envoys were easy to talk to, and they agreed to Liu Xueyan's proposal without much effort.

The next day, when the envoy of Western Zhou entered the palace to meet Ji Moyi, he suddenly proposed that the eldest daughter of the Yun family should marry into the Western Zhou family.

There are two young ladies in the Yun Mansion. One is the future Princess An, and the other has been demoted to a slave by Liu Xueyan and Ji Moyi and sold into a brothel.

So, the Western Zhou envoy's request for the young lady of the Yun Mansion to marry into the Western Zhou Dynasty was essentially a request for Yun Wanwan to marry there. Regardless of whether Yun Wanwan herself agreed or not, it was impossible for Demon King Rong, standing there, to agree to let Yun Wanwan marry in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

If they managed to steal the future princess from Rong Mowang right under his nose, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Rong Mowang in front of so many people? Besides, their strength wasn't strong enough to send someone to make peace with another country, was it?

When Ji Moyi, who was sitting on the throne, heard that they were practically asking Yun Wanwan to go to Xizhou to marry, he almost fell off the dragon throne in front of so many people. I wonder if Xizhou did any homework when selecting people for marriage. They even dared to intercept Rong Chengxuan's fiancée?

When Xi Zhou proposed that the eldest daughter of the Yun family go to marry, the ministers in the court immediately fell silent. No one wanted to run into the gun of Demon King Rong.

It’s a pity that the envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty were not very perceptive. They were scared to death, but they complained that the knives were not being sharpened fast enough and kept urging Rong Chengxuan to sharpen them quickly.

"The reason we chose the legitimate daughter of the Yun family is because His Majesty had already conferred her the title of Princess of Zheng State on her some time ago. As a princess, she has the obligation to uphold the friendship between the two countries. Only the Princess of Zheng State is worthy of our Western Zhou prince..."

"Indeed, since Wanwan has been granted the title of Princess, she naturally deserves the honors of a Princess." Rong Chengxuan, whose expression had been sullen since the envoy proposed marrying Yun Wanwan, now spoke coldly, "I request that the place of Zhaohe be granted to Wanwan as a fiefdom, and that her title be changed from Princess of the State of Zhenguo to Princess Zhaohe."

The ministers below gasped. Rong Chengxuan must have planned this all along. Just like the last time he asked for a year's salary from the Marquis of Pingxi, this time Rong Chengxuan immediately asked for one of the most prosperous areas, Zhaohe, as a fief for Yun Wanwan.

In this way, Yun Wanwan doesn't have to open the shop in the capital. She just needs to lie in the mansion and count money every year. She may even have to hire a few more people to help her count, otherwise they are afraid that Yun Wanwan can't figure out the accounts.

Ji Moyi immediately came to his senses and wrote an imperial edict to Yun Wanwan, which was addressed to Princess Zhaohe. He then had the eunuch carefully present it to Rong Chengxuan. Rong Chengxuan took a look and thought there was nothing serious, so he sent the eunuch to Qingya Terrace to announce the edict.

As the eunuch left the palace, the Western Zhou envoy jumped out again, "I would also like to ask Your Majesty to write an imperial edict to allow Princess Zhaohe to marry the prince of our Western Zhou!"

This time, Zimmeri chose to be deaf, indicating that he could not hear what the envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty said at all.

Rong Chengxuan looked coldly at the envoy from Xizhou, his eyes like they were dipped in knives. "Who said Princess Showa was going to marry a foreign prince? If you mention it again, I won't mind having you kicked out of the capital immediately."
