The Queen Mother slowly moved her hands, motioning Hong Qingyi to sit down, and looked at Long Chi'an with a loving gaze: "Achi, speak for yourself."
"Uncle and aunt." Long Chi'an addressed Yan Cheng and his wife politely and said frankly, "I asked the Imperial Grandmother for the marriage."
The Yan family was surprised.
The Queen Mother said slowly, "Indeed, Ah Chi came to my palace early yesterday morning."
Upon hearing this, Yan Funing frowned.
Last night at midnight, they returned to the city from Yingtian Lake overnight.
Not only did she think that Prince Chi was here to help testify, but Fu Ciyi probably thought so too.
In fact, Prince Chi did go to the imperial study to testify.
What she didn't expect was that before that, he had gone to the Empress Dowager's palace first.
"Prince, why are you like this?" She was really confused.
The eldest princess's husband, Wang Qiong, raised his voice, "Father, what are you laughing at?"
The Queen Mother continued, "Achi came to see me early yesterday morning. Thinking of Shuyun's request to consult the Yan family, I thought I was too young to talk to someone younger in the Yan family, and so I sent for Old Madam Yan."
Yan Funing nodded: "Indeed, I have noticed that phenomenon a long time ago, but the prince hid it very well. When you met him a few times before, he coughed as usual, and you didn't think much of it anymore."
As he spoke, he looked at the Duke and his wife and said, "Long Chi'an, Qingyi, since he thinks the two children are too young to be together, they should just accept Xiang Yan as their son-in-law."
Yan Funing hurriedly shook her head and spoke before Shi Yangyang could, "The prince doesn't dislike you. It's just that you can't quickly relieve the prince's symptoms, so he must ask for a marriage. As his friend, you will naturally help the prince find a solution."
Caiyu nodded heavily to indicate that her memory was vague, and that was when she went to the Fu family.
"My lord."
Old Madam Shi glanced at Yan Funing with a smile. The man behind her had an ugly appearance and a bad figure. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became.
"After seeing her a few more times, I suddenly realized that she was different from everyone else."
Unfortunately, Xiang Yan had a special relationship with his ancestor, and he also met the eldest son of the Yan family.
"You've never had such a chronic illness since you were born, and you never thought you'd be able to live so comfortably and comfortably in this life."
Shi Yangyang smiled and said, "I knew that my brother liked Fu Ning."
"This booklet records the origin of the conflict between the Shi and Yan families."
She didn't expect that her son's feelings for Fu Ning were so deep.
Long Chi'an looked at Yan Funing and explained to everyone, "After Cai Mushi and Dong Kuang's affair was exposed, I believe that Lord Fu has a good chance of successfully refusing the marriage. If the Emperor's uncle allows Lord Fu to marry Funing again because of this, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Yan Cheng naturally knew the reason why Shi Yangyang was granted the national surname.
The two of them found a secluded pavilion and sat down.
"It turns out that hundreds of years later, the Shi family's ancestor did not suffer from the same illness as Yan does now. The illness was completely aggravated before he married the eldest son of the Yan family. Before that, the Shi family had declined."
"Busy waiting to get married?" Lord Fu laughed warmly.
"There are so many young men in the world, but only without you by my side can you not have the symptoms of coughing."
When these words came out, Yan Cheng and his wife and the eldest princess and her husband were all shocked.
But I thought that as long as we became husband and wife, we would fall in love with each other over time, and I would love you deeply in the future.
Everyone looked at the owner of the voice, Old Master Shi.
Long Chi'an stood up, bowed deeply to Yan Cheng and his wife, and then looked at Yan Funing again.
Although the words were not clearly stated, Yan Cheng understood them.
Judging from what they talked about in the afternoon, and the scene of her parents toasting with the elders of the Shi family during lunch, Yan Funing felt that her marriage to Wang Qiongguan was almost a done deal.
"Even if I'm a few rooms away from you, I can tell what's underneath you. That's how close I am."
"Your eldest sister ordered you to come here and tell me that it was Old Madam Yan who rejected the marriage proposal yesterday, not Long Chi'an or the Duke's wife."
"He told the Duke..." Yan Funing explained.
Long Shuyun was in a normal mood. "Originally, our two families had no engagement. Now that Zhen Yan'er is back, the marriage will naturally fall to Zhen Yan'er. Plus, without this miraculous fate, the two children should become husband and wife."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Look, this is a marriage destined by fate."
In this case, compared to Lord Fu, who has an extremely poor health, Shi Yangyang is more suitable for Fu Ning.
Old Master Shi said, "You knew about this originally. Some time ago, when you were looking through the family tree, you came across a booklet."
Fu Ciyi covered his mouth and reminded his brother loudly: "Brother, hurry up and say he hates Fu Ning."
Yan Cheng nodded.
Shi Yangyang nodded: "Uncle, that's true."
Yan Cheng nodded.
"A lifelong regret?" the eldest princess exclaimed.
"Why are you here?" Master Fu said in a light voice.
That day, the Empress Dowager invited the Shi and Yan families to have lunch.
Chi An raised his hand to Yan Cheng and said, "Long Chi An, can you please excuse me?"
Chi An raised his voice: "It is not easy for His Majesty to have children. Shu Yun is His Majesty's only sister. You and your son have been placed with high hopes since childhood."
I actually hate you.
However, she didn't expect her brother to like her to this extent.
As I spoke, I bowed again: "So, you want to marry Fu Ning."
Old Master Shi smiled again and said, "Those two children are indeed not meant to be together. Wang Qiong is saying that you have forgotten how our Shi and Yan families became close friends."
Now that things have come to that, it’s okay to say that the Yan family is bad.
Chi An got straight to the point: "Wang Qiong's health was already bad. If I could marry Fu Ning, my health would definitely be completely ruined. By then, our two families will be working towards the same goal. Now..."
"Indeed."
Yan Funing raised her hand to interrupt me. "In Qingshan Town, when you first arrived at the Prince's residence, you had no doubts. Every time you approached Xuanzhu Hall, the coughing gradually became more noticeable. Once you left Xuanzhu Hall, the coughing started again, and it didn't seem to be getting any worse."
Shi Yangyang was shocked: "He knew it a long time ago?"
But it was far from what my mother and sister had guessed.
Just then, a loud laugh rang out.
Shi Yangyang's handsome face flushed slightly: "Fu Ning, you actually..."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although I treated you like that under the car yesterday, you still need to clarify what you did with your parents.
Shi Yangyang knew her ancestor was like this, and now that she knew it, the look in her eyes when she looked at Shi Yufu was less affectionate.
"There's no reason yet, how do you know?"
Caiyu frowned and lowered her head: "Big sister, you are busy."
That's exactly why Fu Ciyi, a brother who likes men close to him, treats Fu Ning the same way.
"When I first met Fu Ning, my frequent coughing disappeared."
Caiyu walked slowly for a few steps and saluted.
When you arrived at the Fu residence, Wang Qiongguan was in the study reading the divorce letter written by Fu Nanyao, and there was no mistake in the wording.
How can just saying that be enough?
We are the main branch of the Shi family, and Xiang Yan is the direct grandson, and he has the same disease as our ancestor.
The most important thing is that it can cure your precious grandson's illness.
Yan Cheng asked seriously, "Xiang Yan is beside Fu Ning. Is her health really that bad?"
The Yan family would think that their brother’s purpose was too realistic and that he was not using Fu Ning as medicine.
Before returning to the Duke's Mansion, Yan Funing pondered for a whole morning before deciding to send Queen Caiyu to the Fu family.
