East Palace
"Your Highness, I have a request."
A hint of impatience flashed in Xiao Muchan's eyes. It's only been a few days, and she wants a formal status!
But let's just coax her for now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muchan asked considerately: "Wanqing, tell me what you want. As long as it's not too excessive, I will agree to it."
Xu Wanqing was delighted and waved her hands repeatedly, "Not too much at all."
"Tell me, I want to know what Wanqing wants."
Xu Wanqing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said viciously: "Your Highness, you should know that I have a younger sister."
Xiao Muchan thought of the last time he saw Xu Wanyan and nodded.
"Your Highness, you should also know that the Xu family has an engagement with Prince Chen."
Xiao Muhan nodded, "Indeed, but what exactly do you want to say?"
He was in no mood to chat with her about these trivial matters. If it weren't for the Lin family...
Humph, he wouldn't come to comfort her at all, lest she offend that woman again.
"Your Highness, my sister is not young anymore. Please quickly persuade the Emperor to arrange for them to get married."
"marriage?"
Then, he thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Everyone knows that Prince Chen is cruel and murderous. Do you still want to marry your sister to him?"
Xu Wanqing snorted coldly: "She is not my sister. It would be better if she could be beaten to death by Prince Chen."
"You..., you hate her so much?"
Xu Wanqing nodded aggrievedly: "You don't know how bad she is. My mother was scolded by my father because of her. I want her to marry Prince Chen. It would be best if she is beaten to death."
Looking at the hatred in her eyes, Xiao Muchan nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I'll go and persuade my father."
When Xu Wanqing heard this, her face suddenly lit up with joy. She hugged Xiao Muchan's arm and leaned close to him affectionately, "I knew Your Highness would agree."
Xiao Muhan patted her with a fake smile, "How can I bear to let you down by crying about what you want me to do?"
"Your Highness is the best. I never want to leave Your Highness for the rest of my life."
At this moment, Xu Wanqing had already forgotten about Lu Mingxuan and was only thinking about Xiao Muchan and the position of Crown Princess.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Muchan felt nauseous, but he suppressed it.

Su family
"Grandfather, what did the Emperor say?"
Ever since he knew that his grandfather had met Xiao Jingming that night, he couldn't laugh.
Looking at his grandson's sullen face, Su Hairong probably guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help feeling regretful.
If I had known earlier, it would have been a perfect choice for Wanyan to come to the Su family.
Now, what a pity, he has been targeted.
"Mu'er, I understand your thoughts, but times have changed. Just give up on your little thoughts."
Su Mu said in a muffled voice, "Grandfather, I understand what you mean. I just want to ask what the emperor says. He can't really let Wanyan become a concubine, right? If that's the case, I won't agree!"
Looking at Su Mu's righteous words, Su Hairong blew his beard and said angrily: "Don't say you don't agree. I won't agree either. If the emperor does this, I will retire."
Su Mu was overjoyed: "Grandfather, is what you said true?"
Su Hairong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course it's true. But if your career is ruined because of this, would you be willing to do that?"
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No regrets. I don't have much talent to begin with. If it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't even have the chance to enter the Lishan Academy, let alone become an official."
Su Hairong nodded. "It's good that you think so. Listen to my news."
Xu Wanyan didn't know that so many people were concerned about her marriage.
Right now, she was having a headache because of Xu Wanyu's pestering.
"Sister Wanyan, do you find me annoying?"
Xu Wanyu looked at Xu Wanyan with a wronged look on her face, "Grandfather and Third Uncle said that we should help each other. I can ask you if there is anything I don't know."
Xu Wanyan rolled her eyes at her, "What can I tell you?"
Xu Wanyu was overjoyed. "Just tell me how the wealthy families in the capital live?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head, "I don't know."
"What about the prince?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan looked at her and asked, "Do you want to inquire about the royal family?"
Seeing Xu Wanyan's expression was not right, Xu Wanyu quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, I didn't. I was just asking casually. How could I possibly ask about the royal family? I just said it casually."
Xu Wanyan looked at her coldly, "Imperial affairs are not something anyone can discuss casually. If anyone knows about it, my grandfather and father will definitely be impeached. Don't forget, our Xu family is next door to the Censorate."
Xu Wanyu's face turned pale immediately, and she said tremblingly, "I won't ask again, never again."
Xu Wanyan looked at her coldly, without a trace of comfort in her eyes.
Qiao Yun, Leng Nuan and others stood aside and couldn't help laughing. The young lady's ability to fool people was getting better and better. She even fooled Xu Wanyu.
"Oh, by the way, I remember my third uncle had a daughter who was a little older than me. Where is she?"
"I'm married. Don't you know about this?"
Xu Wanyu shook her head blankly and asked doubtfully, "I remember she was a famous talented woman in the capital, and she was also my third uncle's most beloved daughter. She was no worse than any other girl from an aristocratic family. How could she get married so simply?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head, "I don't know about that."
Xu Wanyu was a little unhappy. Just as her mother said, after Xu Wanyan lost her mother, no one took care of her and she became like a fool.
No matter what you ask, he either knows the answer or looks intimidating, as if he is very knowledgeable.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanyu was filled with contempt. At least she had her parents who loved her. But she, Xu Wanyan, said she had a father and a grandfather, but no one liked her.
Not as good as myself.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanyu felt even more superior. No wonder her grandfather and third uncle asked her to replace her in the marriage.
It turns out that she doesn't deserve it.
Looking at Xu Wanyu's smug expression, Xu Wanyan just smiled.
"Miss Wanyu, you haven't seen our eldest daughter. Not only is she as beautiful as a fairy, but she's also extremely talented. Everyone in the capital knows her, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fond of her."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xu Wanyu's eyes lit up.
Qiao Yun nodded seriously, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes our eldest daughter very much and has always been interested in her. Unfortunately, our eldest daughter already has someone in her heart, otherwise, she would have gone to the Eastern Palace by now."
"Eastern Palace?"
Xu Wanyu was even more excited.
"The East Palace is not an ordinary place. It is the prince's bedroom. Apart from the emperor and empress's residence, the prince's place is the best."
After saying this, Qiao Yun looked regretful and said, "It was almost like the Xu family would have been royal relatives."
