The Queen Mother nodded slightly. In her eyes, Murong Yue was very satisfied no matter how she looked at her. After all, she was the daughter-in-law she had chosen personally, and she liked her no matter how she looked at her.
Then Murong said some more words asking the Queen Mother to take care of her health, and then took his leave on the pretext of having something to do.
After sending Murong Yue and Concubine Yu away, the Queen Mother's face turned cold and she quickly sent someone to call Prince Xiang. However, it would definitely not work if Murong Yue alone was relied upon. Only when Yuwen Ran was forced into a desperate situation would he agree to this.
When Prince Xiang arrived, he still looked nonchalant. The Queen Mother frowned at him. "What are you planning? I know very well, but Murong Yue is not someone you can afford to toy with. If you continue to be stubborn, I will no longer help you. You are on your own."
Hearing this, the King of Xiang was stunned at first, and he couldn't believe what the Queen Mother said. She actually gave up herself for Murong Yue. But seeing the Queen Mother's serious face, the King of Xiang finally believed it.
Although Prince Xiang was extremely reluctant, without the Queen Mother's support, his great cause would be ruined, so he had no choice but to give in. "What the Queen Mother taught me is that I have now figured it out and will no longer think about Murong Yue."
"That's good. I feel relieved. However, I still have one thing I need you to do." The Queen Mother changed the subject and talked about Murong Yue's marriage.
Prince Xiang frowned after hearing the Queen Mother's request, but the Queen Mother kept staring at him, so he had no choice but to agree, "Your son will definitely do it."
The Queen Mother nodded and let Prince Xiang leave.
Prince Xiang turned around and looked at the Queen Mother's bedroom. A feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. As if he had made a decision, he turned around and left.
The next day, an envoy from a neighboring country came forward and said that the marriage between Murong Yue and Yuwen Ran was a decision made by their king, which involved the friendship between the two countries. They hoped that Yuwen Ran would make a decision as soon as possible.
This is equivalent to telling Yuwen Ran that if he does not agree, it will affect the relationship between the two countries. What was originally just a personal emotional issue has now become a national issue.
Yuwen Ran frowned, and before he could say anything, he saw Prince Xiang take the lead and stand up, and everyone agreed, saying that they agreed to the princess's marriage.
Seeing all the ministers in the court stand up and put pressure on him, Yuwen Ran frowned, but he was speechless. After thinking for a moment, Yuwen Ran said slowly, "Since all of you think that the princess should stay, then I can't refuse. The princess will stay. As for the marriage, I will consider it carefully and make a final decision."
As soon as these words were spoken, Murong Yue became happy immediately, but she did not show it in the hall. Instead, she found Yuwen Ran after the court session and chose to thank him in person.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting A Yue stay with you. In the future, A Yue will be grateful and will serve Your Majesty well!" As she said this, Murong Yue blushed a little.
Yuwen Ran was already a little impatient, and after hearing what Murong said, he felt even more disgusted. "There's no need to serve me. I never said I would take the princess into the harem!"
Murong Yue was stunned at first, then smiled awkwardly, "Ayue knows, but the emperor is able to keep Ayue here and save Ayue from the punishment of my father. Ayue still wants to thank the emperor sincerely."
"If Madam Zhenguo hadn't pleaded for you, I wouldn't have relented. If you want to thank someone, thank Madam Zhenguo!" After saying this, Yuwen Ran flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Murong Yue with a lonely and arrogant back, which made Murong Yue feel out of reach.
Gu Yanyue? How could it be her? Shouldn't she be eager for him to leave as soon as possible? Why would she be begging for him? A series of questions hammered at Murong Yue's heart.
But Yu Wenran didn't seem like someone who would lie. If he said it was Gu Yanyue who asked for favors, then it must be Gu Yanyue.
Murong Yue was full of doubts. Just then, she saw Concubine Yu's back and suddenly remembered something. Wasn't it because of Concubine Yu that she hated Gu Yanyue so much? If her daughter hadn't said so many bad things about Gu Yanyue in her ear, she might not have hated Gu Yanyue so much.
After thinking about this, Murong Yue came up with an idea. He secretly straightened his clothes and turned to walk towards Concubine Yu's bedroom.
At this time, Concubine Yu also happened to arrive at the palace. She had previously gone to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to discuss countermeasures, and when she came back, Murong Yue saw her back.
Before Concubine Yu had time to take a sip of hot tea, Murong Yue arrived.
"Isn't this the princess? Why is the princess here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have prepared some food." After seeing Murong Yue, Concubine Yu immediately stood up from the stool again, looking very enthusiastic.
But even so, Murong Yue's heart was even more confused. Logically speaking, Gu Yanyue could show mercy to a stranger, so how could she attack her sister?
Perhaps Murong Yue was too lost in thought. Concubine Yu called her several times, but she didn't respond. Concubine Yu could only wave her hand in front of her, "Princess, Princess, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought!"
Murong Yue finally reacted and laughed dryly, "I didn't think anything of it!"
After hearing this, Concubine Yu had already formed a preconceived notion, and her face was full of distress. "Isn't it possible that the princess has been bullied by that state lady again?"
"That's not the case. It's just that some time ago, Concubine Yu helped Ah Yue, and Ah Yue specially picked out some gifts. I thought today would be a good time to thank Concubine Yu. If it weren't for your advice, Ah Yue would have been sent back by now. Concubine Yu's great kindness is in my heart. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please let me know."
Murong Yue, this was like extending an olive branch to Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu smiled slightly after hearing this. "It's just some small things, not worth mentioning. Why are you being so formal, Princess?"
"How can this be? I still have to thank her, but A Yue is a little curious. Is Lady Zhenguo always confrontational with the concubine on weekdays?" Murong Yue asked the question in her mind after careful consideration.
After hearing this, Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness hidden in her smile. "Let's not talk about the past. It's all old and trivial anyway, so I won't tell you and make things difficult for the princess."
Yu Fei didn't say anything, and Murong Yue didn't know how to ask in detail. She could only guess in her heart what happened between Yu Fei and Madam Zhenguo that made Yu Fei so dissatisfied with Gu Yanyue.
While Murong Yue was thinking, Yu Fei was also thinking in her heart. Although the two were facing each other, they each had their own ulterior motives and talked incoherently.
