Meng Youning looked at it and found it really an eyesore.
She silently looked away.
Jiang Zhuo sighed softly and rubbed his brows with his hand. "Youning, please put it away quickly. Only you can hold this palm print."
Meng Youning looked cold and had a complicated expression.
Seeing that the other party did not seem to be lying, Meng Youning took back the palm print.
At the beginning, she and Luan'er dreamed of getting the palm seal.
But now, the palm seal is of little use to them.
At present, Qiuzhuangshen has already shown a tendency to become the largest seller of rouge and powder in Shengjing.
But the seal of the Prince's Mansion means the attitude of Prince Yi and his wife towards her.
She really needs to keep it well.
Meng Youning nodded slightly, then silently put the palm seal back. "Since mother said so, Youning will keep it for the time being."
She nodded slightly, "Youning is indeed feeling a little unwell and a little tired, so she'll go back and rest first."
Jiang Zhuo looked at the pitiful Tu Ling and the angry Qi Ran, and finally nodded, "Okay, you go back first."
From beginning to end, Meng Youning never looked at Qi Ran once.
Meng Youning walked past Qi Ran with an expressionless face.
Qi Ran slightly turned sideways. The figure in front of him was so thin and made people want to protect him.
Qi Ran opened his mouth slightly and subconsciously wanted to catch up.
Suddenly, the person next to me cried out, and then fainted.
Qi Ran was startled, but quickly came to his senses and quickly caught Tu Ling.
At this moment, his heart and eyes are filled with the person in front of him.
Without thinking, Qi Ran bent down and picked her up. He took two steps and stopped. "Sister Ling is just a weak woman, and she does good things. Why do you dislike her so much?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "You will know how good she is in the future."
After saying that, he carried Tu Ling to the backyard regardless of anything else.
Qi Shangqing stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow, "Rebellious son! He really is a rebellious son!"
"And this Tu Ling, I already disliked her five years ago. I didn't expect that after five years, she's still acting the same way. It's disgusting just to look at her."
Jiang Zhuo looked at the direction the two had left and sighed, "Compared to Ran'er, I'm more worried about Youning."
Liyuan.
"Sister Ling, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Qi Ran put Tu Ling down carefully, his expression full of worry.
Tu Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
She coughed lightly a few times and said, "Nothing's wrong. I was just too excited and fainted."
She supported herself on the bed with one hand and sat up with difficulty. "My Lord, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll leave now."
Qi Ran shook his head violently. "Sister Ling, what are you talking about? I've already told you that you don't need to listen to anyone else except me. Just stay here. This way I can feel more at ease."
Tu Ling looked worried, "But in this case, is there really no problem with the Crown Princess?"
"What could be wrong with her?" Qi Ran waved his hand. "Also, you should just call me Xiao Ran'er. Sister Ling calls me Prince, and I always feel weird about it."
Tu Ling smiled and nodded, "Okay! Xiao Ran'er!"
"Then you should lie down and rest for a while. You must have been too tired recently." Qi Ran said softly, "Don't worry, Sister Ling, I will do my best to do what you said."
"Thank you very much, Xiaoran." Tu Ling said softly.
After comforting Tu Ling a few more words, Qi Ran left the place, looking back every few steps.
Tu Ling waved to the servants around her, "You all go down too."
Soon, Tu Ling was the only one left in the room.
Her hands, which were originally placed flat on the quilt, slowly clenched into fists.
A pair of eyes looked steadily ahead.
"Sang Luan, Meng Youning, please don't blame me. I just want to find out the real cause of my parents' death as soon as possible and make everyone who deserves death pay the price. I have no choice but to put you through this first."
Only with Qi Ran and Feng Hengzhi's identities known could she investigate the events of that year without restraint.
The next day.
Shanghua Palace.
Yuan Jinsheng clapped his hands and paced back and forth anxiously.
She didn't stop until a little palace maid came running towards her in a hurry.
She asked anxiously, "How's the situation in the Golden Palace?"
The young palace maid, Wutong, had a complicated expression on her face. She spoke hurriedly, "The Rouran are pressing forward. They want His Majesty to quickly select a woman and send her to the Rouran as their queen. Everyone knows the Rouran king is a crude warrior who has changed consorts one after another, leaving him with a bad reputation. None of the ministers in the court are willing to let their daughters go, and the situation is currently at a stalemate."
Wutong is Yuan Jinsheng's personal maid and also the head maid of Shanghua Palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wutong took two steps towards Yuan Jinsheng.
The two of them walked to the dressing table and said, "Your Highness, let's stop here. If anyone finds out that we are prying into court affairs, it will definitely anger the Emperor."
Yuan Jinsheng clenched his hands and shook his head slightly, "No, as long as the problem can be solved in the end, why would His Majesty be angry?"
She slowly sat down, her eyes flickering as she turned to look at Wutong. "Wutong, let me ask you, between the Rouran and us, who is more powerful?"
Wutong answered without thinking, "Of course we are stronger, but the Rouran have a natural advantage due to their geographical location."
She paused, "In previous years, they paid tribute on time every year, but now they have united with several surrounding areas. The small areas around Rouran all obey the orders of the Rouran King. If the Rouran are not pacified quickly, a war is inevitable."
Yuan Jinsheng casually picked up a hairpin and said, "What I mean is that this person must be chosen before Rouran leaves Shengjing?"
Wutong nodded, walked straight to Yuan Jinsheng, and reached out to help her with her hair. "That's right. In fact, it wouldn't be difficult to simply choose a woman of the right age, but the other party specifically wants someone from the royal family, or a leader among the civil and military officials."
"But among all the civil and military officials who meet the age requirements, the only ones who meet the age requirements are the daughters of the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War. However, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue has already married the Prime Minister, so the Minister of War is the only one left. The Minister of War loves his daughter dearly and has refused to give in. This is the reason for the deadlock."
Yuan Jinsheng gestured with the hairpin above his head, "If we don't choose them, once we let them go back, won't Shengjing be in danger?"
Wutong hummed lightly, "Of course. After all, every time there's a big fight, it's the common people who get hurt. When the gods fight, the fish in the pond suffer. That's exactly what they mean."
As the two spoke, Wutong had already done a proper hairstyle for Yuan Jinsheng. "Your Highness, why are you concerned about this? The Emperor will make the final decision on this matter. Even if those ministers are unwilling, for the sake of Shengjing and the world, someone must sacrifice themselves."
