Yuwen Ran single-handedly shouldered the pressure from the court officials, but did not immediately refuse, claiming that he would consider it.
After leaving the court, Yuwen Ran felt depressed and subconsciously walked towards Gu Yanyue's palace. At this time, Gu Yanyue was playing with Xiao Yuntun, looking very warm. The dark clouds in Yuwen Ran's heart also dissipated a lot, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Aran, you're here!" After seeing Yuwen Ran, Gu Yanyue smiled from the heart. After giving birth to little Yuntun, the maternal glow on Gu Yanyue became more and more obvious.
Yuwen Ran nodded, took the little wonton from Gu Yanyue's hand, and teased her while talking to her, "Today in the court, all the ministers are suggesting that I marry Murong Yue as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Gu Yanyue was stunned for a moment, then a forced smile appeared on her face. "Then what is the emperor's plan? In fact, the emperor does not need to go to such lengths for me."
After all, women are creatures who say one thing and mean another. Although they say so, who doesn't want to be together forever? If Yuwen Ran really listened to Gu Yanyue's advice and took Murong Yue as his concubine, Gu Yanyue would probably feel uncomfortable again.
"I will definitely not marry Murong Yue. Having you by my side is enough. I have never touched any of my previous concubines, as you know." Yuwen Ran frowned. He could naturally see the reluctance in Gu Yanyue's heart.
Gu Yanyue lowered her head and stopped talking, but in fact, she didn't want Yuwen Ran to marry Murong Yue. After some interactions, she realized that the relationship between her and Murong Yue was not as bad as she had imagined. On the contrary, she still had some good feelings towards Murong Yue.
But if Murong Yue married Yuwen Ran, the little good impression she had of him would disappear completely, and no matter how good a friend he was, she would not want to share Yuwen Ran with her.
"I was thinking that Murong Yue is a princess of a country after all, and she cannot marry anyone else, so I want her to marry Prince Xiang." Yuwen Ran said hesitantly.
Gu Yanyue was a little unhappy when these words came out. "Although the princess looks a little spoiled, she actually has a good personality. The prince of Xiang is ignorant and obsessed with women. He is really not worthy of the princess."
Seeing Gu Yanyue speaking up for Murong Yue, Yu Wenran felt powerless. "Why bother speaking up for her? Didn't she reject you very quickly last time? If Murong Yue doesn't consider you her friend, why should you even consider her?"
"It's different. She is actually very nice to me. It's just that for some reason, we can't be friends." This certain reason is Yu Wenran, Gu Yanyue thought secretly in her heart.
Seeing Gu Yanyue's soft-heartedness, Yuwen Ran couldn't help but sigh, "Prince Xiang did do absurd things in the past, but people change, don't they? Just like me, before I met you, I didn't know where my goal was, and how to move forward."
Hearing Yuwen Ran say this, Gu Yanyue was speechless, but she didn't believe that Prince Xiang would change for Murong Yue. Love at first sight is the most unreliable thing.
However, Yuwen Ran has also been oppressed these days, and Gu Yanyue was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The Queen Mother was bothered by Prince Xiang every day. Prince Xiang seemed to be determined not to leave until the Queen Mother agreed. The Queen Mother was so annoyed by Prince Xiang that she had no energy to care about Yuwen Ran's affairs. She was thinking about how to deal with Prince Xiang every day.
"Your son really loves the princess. Please, mother, make the decision for me and marry the princess to me." Prince Xiang knelt in front of the queen mother and spoke with a very sincere attitude. If the queen mother had not really understood Prince Xiang, she would have been moved by his attitude long ago!
But how could she not know the character of her own son? Prince Xiang could be affectionate, even a sow could climb a tree! Besides, Murong Yue was her spy planted around Yuwen Ran, so how could she give him to Prince Xiang so easily?
"Don't even think about it. Even if you were to die in front of me today, I wouldn't even blink an eye. I would just pretend that I had never given birth to a son like you." The Queen Mother's face was full of indifference, and she didn't seem to care at all.
King Xiang was speechless for a moment and could only kneel on the ground to express his determination.
The Queen Mother looked at the kneeling Prince Xiang, feeling a sense of regret. She patted her chest in grief and said, "What sin have I committed? I gave birth to such an unfilial son like you. I have been so worried about you, and it would be fine if you don't show gratitude, but you actually dare to threaten me."
"Mother, I have never asked you for anything before. Now I have only this one request. Can't you satisfy me?" Prince Xiang did not give in at all and played the emotional card with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces. "You are to be the Emperor's wife, and you must not fall in love with a woman from another race. I will never allow a woman to stand in your way of ascending to the throne."
How could Prince Xiang not know the Queen Mother's intentions? The Queen Mother simply wanted to use him to seize Yuwen Ran's throne, and then make him a puppet emperor while the Queen Mother controlled the government.
It has to be said that the usually stupid King Xiang was smart for once, but this time King Xiang refused to give in and had been kneeling for several hours.
"You are going to piss me off to death!" The Queen Mother was afraid that Prince Xiang's knees would be broken from kneeling, so she paced back and forth in the bedroom in anger, because the ministers in the court would never allow a disabled person to become emperor.
Prince Xiang seemed to have grasped this point. "If Queen Mother doesn't agree, I will resolutely not take up my position. I will absolutely not make the princess my principal consort. In that case, what is there for Queen Mother to worry about? Why can't you just agree to my request?"
As long as the princess was not the principal wife, she would still hold the power in the court. The Queen Mother felt a little soft-hearted for a moment. After all, no matter how stupid Prince Xiang was, he was born after she carried him for nine months.
"Get up!" The Queen Mother looked at Prince Xiang unhappily and sat back in her seat.
When Prince Xiang heard the Queen Mother say this, he immediately looked up at her happily, "Does the Queen Mother agree?"
"You have forced me with this, how can I not agree?" The Queen Mother still had anger on her face, but Prince Xiang had stood up nimbly, but because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs became weak and he fell down again.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly ordered the maidservant beside her to help Prince Xiang up, "Rest for a while, you go back first, I will find out what the princess has to say."
King Xiang understood and nodded immediately, but after a while he was anxious to leave.
The Queen Mother couldn't stop them. She watched Prince Xiang leave and sighed, "What sin have I committed? One after another, they come out to torture me."
But since she had already promised King Xiang, she would definitely do it. After King Xiang left, the Queen Mother immediately summoned Murong Yue to the palace.
