Not long after, Rong Yiyi entered Cining Palace under the guidance of Granny Lin.
When she saw Feng Xin present, her brows furrowed imperceptibly, but she quickly recovered and knelt down before the Empress Dowager with her head bowed. "Yiyi greets the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager's expression softened. "Get up quickly. Lin Mama, please offer Miss Yiyi a seat."
Rong Yiyi did not get up, but kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager was somewhat surprised. "Tell me about it first."
Rong Yiyi paused for a moment, straightened up, and then said shyly, "I heard that the Third Prince will be going to Xuzhou tomorrow. I... I am worried that the Third Prince will be going to Xuzhou alone without anyone to take care of him. So I would like to volunteer to the Empress Dowager and hope that she can allow me to go and take care of the Third Prince."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin was about to explode. What did Rong Yiyi mean by worrying that her brother would go to Xuzhou alone and have no one to take care of him? No matter what, it's not her place to worry about that.
Just as she was about to speak, the Empress Dowager suddenly glanced at her, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
The Empress Dowager's gaze returned to Rong Yiyi, and she sighed, "You child, you are quite thoughtful." After a moment's thought, she said, "Since you and Mo'er are already engaged, and you don't mind that Xuzhou is far away, then you can go to Xuzhou with Mo'er tomorrow. As for the wedding, I will have someone choose an auspicious day so that you can get married in Xuzhou."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yiyi was overjoyed and could hardly contain herself. Her voice trembled as she kowtowed again, "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager."
"Grandmother..." Feng Xin could no longer hold back and tried to stop her.
The Empress Dowager ignored her and instead said to Rong Yiyi, "Time is of the essence. Go back to your residence and pack your things. You will depart with Mo'er early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Rong Yiyi quickly stood up.
"Granny Lin, escort Miss Yiyi out of the palace," the Empress Dowager instructed.
"Miss Yiyi, please." Granny Lin immediately stepped forward and led Rong Yiyi away from Cining Palace.
Looking at the azure sky, Rong Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten her wish and was going to marry Feng Mo.
All the humiliation I'd suffered during this time vanished because of this joyous occasion.
That bitch Rong Qingqing was right about one thing.
Her status as a prince's consort was indeed more noble than hers.
So what if Feng Mo didn't become the crown prince? At the very least, he's a prince who rules over a region. If he's more ambitious, it's not impossible for him to seize the throne in the future.
If that's the case, she can still realize her dream of becoming the empress.
Thinking of the bright future, Rong Yiyi's steps became much lighter.
At this moment in Cining Palace, Feng Xin finally lost her temper and said to the Empress Dowager, "Why did Grandmother agree to Rong Yiyi's request? She is hypocritical and cunning, and is not worthy of my brother at all."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager chuckled, "In your eyes, there is no woman in the world worthy of your brother."
Feng Xin pouted and retorted, "No, I think Rong Qingqing is much better. She's far superior to Rong Yiyi. If she could marry my brother..."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face darkened. "Nonsense! Putting aside the fact that Rong Qingqing was rejected by your mother, she also married Xie Tianlin. How could you allow a woman who had been married before to marry your brother?"
“She hasn’t even completed the wedding ceremony with the old Marquis of Weiyuan, so the marriage doesn’t count at all,” Feng Xin argued, frowning.
"The wedding ceremony wasn't finished, but Xie Tianlin collapsed as soon as Rong Qingqing entered the door. This shows that Rong Qingqing is not an auspicious person," the Empress Dowager said angrily.
