In her previous life, Situ Yao had already planned to propose marriage. Cui Mixue might even be the future Crown Princess, so even the Cui family didn't dare to consider her marriage. But this life was different. In this life, Situ Yao didn't say anything, so Cui Mixue had to fight for it herself.
"It's a bit too much." Su Mengyan nodded, but still absent-minded.
"So, I'd like to ask Yanyan for a favor." Cui Mixue's voice softened, as if she was a little embarrassed. After a while, she spoke, "Ever since I first met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've been attracted to him. I've always wanted to spend more time with him, but he's so busy that we don't have much time to meet."
The last time we went boating on the lake, Situ Yao also looked absent-minded. He simply asked two questions and then left. He looked nothing like he did in his previous life.
Cui Mixue originally suspected Su Mengyan, but now looking at Su Mengyan's appearance, it doesn't seem like she is related.
"I know." Su Mengyan nodded, and when she looked at Cui Mixue, she finally came back to her senses. She said, "I know Miss Cui has long had her eyes on the Crown Prince, so I have been helping Miss Cui to get together."
Cui Mixue was stunned: "But you are not..."
Isn’t she Situ Yao’s chosen concubine?
How can you give away the man you have already got?
Su Mengyan knew what Cui Mixue was suspicious of, so she just smiled at her and said frankly, "Miss Cui, don't worry about me. I don't have any such feelings for His Highness. I entered the palace just to have enough food and clothing, and following His Highness is just a coincidence. My only wish in this palace is to live a good life, and if possible, to live a slightly better life. For me, that's enough."
These words were said frankly and directly. Cui Mixue narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Mengyan for a long time. Only after she was sure that she did not sound like she was lying did she feel relieved.
Cui Mixue once secretly inquired about Su Mengyan's identity, and it was indeed as she said.
"Then I want... Yanyan, you to help match me up with the Crown Prince. As long as it's done, I promise you prosperity and wealth, okay?"
Others might not believe this promise, but Su Mengyan still believed it and acted according to the script. Cui Mixue was the future queen, and this person was clear about gratitude and resentment. If she agreed now, she would not have to worry about being harmed in the future.
So Su Mengyan nodded without even hesitation.
"Okay, Miss Cui, how would you like me to match them up?"
You agree now?
Cui Mixue was stunned for a moment.
Someone who had the same doubts was Situ Yao, who was secretly watching nearby. After hearing that the two of them were together, he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, so he hurried back to try to get between them, but he didn't expect to overhear this conversation.
Situ Yao sneered.
It seemed like he had really spoiled Su Mengyan too much. Not only had she been avoiding him for a while, but now she was actually colluding with outsiders. Matchmaking? Could Su Mengyan, a mere concubine, just want to fix his affairs?
The anger in his heart became more and more intense. Situ Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Mengyan, and then left with a flick of his sleeves.
Su Mengyan, who was thinking about how to sell Situ Yao, was completely unaware that she had been discovered. She was still happily discussing her wonderful future life with Cui Mixue. In the later period, Situ Yao was a doting maniac who could pick the stars and the moon for her. She was definitely right to hug Cui Mixue's thigh.
"Otherwise, I'll think of a way to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let you, Miss Cui, stay in the Eastern Palace for a few days. How to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince then will depend on what Miss Cui can do." Su Mengyan lowered her head and looked submissive. In order to avoid being hated in the future, she was being obedient now and didn't dare to make any unnecessary suggestions.
Fortunately, Cui Mixue herself was ambitious. After hearing Su Mengyan's proposal, she immediately nodded and said, "If that's the case, that would be great. Thanks for the trouble, Yanyan. Don't worry, Yanyan, I will definitely not treat you unfairly after this is done."
"Miss Cui." Su Mengyan smiled with the corners of her lips curved, and said seriously: "If one day Miss Cui really becomes a position second only to the emperor, I will have only one wish."
Cui Mixue listened carefully.
Situ Yao, who was hiding in the dark, was also listening attentively.
Situ Yao had originally left in a hurry, but he was still thinking about what the two had said, so he came back. As soon as he came back, he heard these words.
What is her wish?
"I want to leave the palace and go back to the countryside." She had had enough of this kind of life where being with the emperor was like being with a tiger. She didn't know when she would be beheaded, and she didn't know when someone would die if Situ Yao was unhappy.
Cui Mixue was somewhat surprised, but since they had already mentioned this wish, she nodded and agreed, "Of course."
If this really worked out, she would be the future queen. If someone of Su Mengyan's status was willing to leave the palace, it would save her a lot of trouble. Of course, she was happy to agree, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely satisfy you."
Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She made a prompt decision and immediately sent someone to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and told him that she wanted Cui Mixue to stay overnight. As Su Mengyan expected, Situ Yao agreed.
Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Situ Yao's attention was on Cui Mixue instead of himself. Su Mengyan was very relieved. No matter what, she was safe.
But Su Mengyan didn't notice that there was a terrifying gaze following her.
"Yan Yan, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to your place tonight?" Although Cui Mixue was invited to stay overnight, she was unable to meet Situ Yao. Situ Yao said he was very busy and pushed her to Su Mengyan.
Su Mengyan was half asleep when she heard this question, and she replied in a daze, "He never comes..."
"You're not allowed to come over at night?" Cui Mixue was still unwilling to give in. Taking advantage of Su Mengyan's confusion, she asked again. She felt that since Su Mengyan appeared, many things were wrong. Cui Mixue couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only hint at it.
"I've been there..." Su Mengyan's words made Cui Mixue's heart jump, but the next sentence that followed was: "That bastard made me stand in his yard for the whole night. I didn't sleep a wink!"
Cui Mixue breathed a sigh of relief.
And all this led to.
The next morning, Su Mengyan didn't remember anything. She just saw Cui Mixue smiling at her with curved eyebrows and a doting look.
Su Mengyan was stunned.
