Consort Shu took her hand and said softly, "Don't be anxious. This matter is not yet settled. We need to think about how to dissuade your father from this idea."
The three of them fell silent for a moment. After a while, Lili looked at the two of them and said, "Your Highness, I have a plan, but it may require the princess to suffer a little."
"Tell me about it." Consort Shu looked up at her.
Lili took two steps forward and walked to Nangong Luoying's side, speaking softly: "Since His Majesty feels that the princess is too young to be married off, why don't we make good use of this?"
Then she looked at Nangong Luoying and continued in a flattering tone, "It's just that the princess will have to do some inappropriate things during this time."
"I will not..." She stopped herself before she could finish the last word, "Fine, fine, this is nothing compared to a marriage alliance, I agree!"
As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her head and chuckled mischievously. Lili couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine when she saw her expression. Princess Luoying's smile meant she was probably thinking of ways to prank someone. It seemed that someone else was going to suffer.
Consort Shu nodded: "This plan is not impossible, but there is no guarantee that the Emperor will not care whether Luo Ying is young or not if he is forced into a corner."
Lili smiled and looked at Consort Shu: "Your Majesty, you said that Princess Mingyue is unfamiliar with the palace and has no friends. If a close elder or friend told her that she has a chance to return to the place where she grew up and help Xifeng out of a predicament, wouldn't she be very happy?"
Consort Shu thought for a moment and smiled, "You're right. Our Princess Mingyue is a considerate and kind filial daughter. When the Emperor is in trouble, it can't be just me, Luoying, who helps.
Nangong Luoying nodded: "In that case, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she curtsied to Consort Shu and walked out.
On the way back to the palace, we happened to pass by Sang Jiang's Bright Moon Palace.
Li Cong, whom I haven't seen for several days, is standing at the entrance of Mingyue Palace, bowing and scraping as he talks to Chunhe.
When Li Cong saw Nangong Luoying, he instinctively tried to avoid her, but Nangong Luoying seemed to be deliberately going against him and walked straight towards him. He bowed his head and greeted Nangong Luoying: "Your subject greets Princess Luoying."
Nangong Luoying nodded: "Get up."
She was about to say something when she remembered her plan to act absurd, so she raised her voice and said, "Isn't this Lord Li? It's been so many days since I last saw you, Lord Li. Have you been practicing your courage?"
Li Cong's expression froze upon hearing her words, and he chuckled dryly twice: "Princess is joking."
"Is Lord Li here to see the Imperial Sister?" Nangong Luoying continued, ignoring him.
Li Cong's expression became even more awkward. He nodded stiffly and said, "Your subject is delivering something to Princess Mingyue."
"Oh~" Nangong Luoying nodded, deliberately drawing out her voice: "So you changed your target because the princess is back and is more favored than me, right?"
Li Cong: ...
He now really felt like he hadn't checked the almanac before going out. Otherwise, why would Princess Luoying see him as soon as he came to see Princess Mingyue? And before that, he always clung to Nangong Luoying like a leech, making everyone think that he was pursuing Princess Luoying.
Unfortunately, Nangong Luoying deliberately spoke his mind so loudly in public. Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground...
