Chapter 83



The surname of the Jiangxia Wang family is "Ming", which is an extremely rare surname. However, it cannot be ruled out that Xiaopingguo forcibly set this surname in order to reverse the three words "Yan Yiming". King Jiangxia was a king of a different surname who was personally appointed by the previous emperor. He occupied the positions of Guangdong and Guangxi, which showed his superior status. However, despite his status, he still joined the ranks of restoring the country. This made Yan Yiming somewhat confused about what King Jiangxia was thinking.

In the end, it can only be summed up in one word: greed.

Human desires will never be satisfied, even for a prince who dominates a region.

Just like Prime Minister Jian, now he is second only to the emperor but he is still very ambitious, so his so-called restoration of the country and supporting Jian Yuyan to ascend the throne again must be just a cover, and his ultimate goal is to hold the emperor hostage to scare the princes.

However, Yan Yiming had checked out a section of the original plot in which the Nangong clan was forced to abdicate and withdraw from Jinling. According to the original plot, although Jian Yuyan's desire to enrich the country was not very strong, he was not as repulsive as he is now. And because of Jian Yuer's stimulation, he really had a period of time when he was quite domineering.

Prime Minister Jian did control Jian Yuyan's heart, but Jian Yuyan was not a simple character who could be manipulated by him, otherwise Prime Minister Jian would not have ended up with such a miserable end because of Jian Yuyan's internal betrayal.

Compared to Jian Yuyan who had always been on guard, Jian Yuyan who was now indifferent to the matter seemed to be less vigilant. This was actually not a very safe situation. Prime Minister Jian would certainly not touch Jian Yuyan for the sake of the present, but there was no guarantee that he would kill Jian Yuyan who was completely unprepared in his last rage.

If something unfortunate happened to the protagonists, Yan Yiming's journey home would be completely hopeless, so how to make Jian Yuyan be on guard was one of the things Yan Yiming needed to prepare for.

Wei Xiongjie probably wanted to say something else. He hesitated for a long time in front of the courtyard where Yan Yiming lived, and finally turned around and left.

Yan Yiming deliberately avoided Lord Wei. Although his wishful thinking would not have any impact on her, Yan Yiming really didn't like the feeling of being coveted anytime and anywhere.

How could she continue to stay in the capital even though her marriage with Nangong Xuan ended? Although Yan Yiming had just learned about this, Yan Yiming pointed at the red mole at the end of his eye in the bronze mirror and chuckled. This was not an easy matter.

When she was Captain Yan, it was common for her to travel a hundred miles a day. Now that she has become a noble lady, she hides in the carriage and travels only a few dozen miles a day. However, Wei Xiongjie still asks her from time to time if she is too tired and needs a rest.

Yan Yiming looked at the scholar in front of him helplessly and said, "No need, business is more important." Wei Xiongjie felt a little bitter in his heart. He originally sent her to Beijing to secretly facilitate her marriage with Master Jian. He knew from the beginning that there was no other possibility and he shouldn't have such selfish thoughts.

Especially since Lord Jiang discovered a clue.

This is extremely wrong.

Yan Yiming's cooperation was beyond Jiang Yi's expectation. He did not visit any scenic spots along the way. It seemed that he only wanted to go to the capital to complete his marriage with the prince.

But just looking at the man next to Princess Lin'an, Jiang Yi didn't think that this marriage would go so smoothly.

However, this marriage has its own hidden agenda. Both the King of Jiangxia and the Crown Prince have some hidden agenda. Once Princess Lin'an enters the capital, there will surely be unrest again.

The journey was very peaceful until they entered Jinling City in a mighty procession. Since they were female members of the royal family, they did not need royal relatives to come to greet them. The carriage went directly to the palace, and then an aunt with a very high status in the palace came to greet them, saying that the ladies in the palace had been waiting for a long time.

King Jiangxia was a king of a different surname who was personally appointed by the late emperor, which shows that he was deeply trusted by the late emperor. But now, several decades have passed, and King Jiangxia has lived in Guangdong and Guangxi for a long time, like a local emperor. Even the annual pilgrimage is not up to him at will.

The emperor was naturally angry at King Jiangxia's arrogance, but the previous emperor had allowed King Jiangxia to keep military equipment under his command. It was too late to regret now. Nanjing was too far away from Guangdong and Guangxi, so the emperor could not find out the true strength of King Jiangxia. However, just by looking at King Jiangxia's attitude which became more and more domineering year by year, he could roughly guess that he might have the qualifications to challenge the imperial court.

Therefore, even if there is an idea to reduce the power of the vassal states, one cannot act rashly for the time being.

Over the years, Prince Jiangxia's attitude towards the court has become increasingly bad. Whenever the emperor mentioned Prince Jiangxia, his face was always filled with anger. Therefore, although there were many doubts about Prince Jiangxia's initiative to send his daughter to the capital, the emperor took it very seriously.

So much so that before the Princess Lin'an came to the capital, all the concubines and princesses in the palace were already waiting in Kunning Palace to see her.

Even the queen is like this.

Yan Yiming arrived late in gorgeous clothes. He did not ignore the uncontrollable anger of the little princesses who were not good at hiding their anger due to waiting. After greeting the queen, he smiled and explained, "I was exhausted from the journey and did not dare to disturb Fengyi. I rushed here after washing and burning incense. I hope the queen will not blame me."

The last time she wanted to meet the Queen was when she was discussing marriage with the Prince. The Queen had always been dissatisfied with her because of Nangong Ye's matter, and she always mixed a few sarcastic remarks in her words.

Now the queen had a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her smile was much more friendly than before. After praising Yan Yiming countless times, she let the other concubines leave and kept Yan Yiming. She also ordered someone to invite the prince to have lunch in Kunning Palace.

Yan Yiming thanked the Queen for her kindness and his eyes fell on the person who left silently. Because of Shao Jingyu, Shao's daughter was favored and ranked as a noble concubine, but looking at her seat today, it was clear that she was sitting with ordinary concubines.

Shao Jingyu completely severed his relationship with the Shao family. Grand Tutor Shao passed away in a fit of anger, leaving behind the useless Master Shao and the childless concubine. As expected, they did not even survive three years.

Yan Yiming withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with the Queen and the Ninth Princess. The Queen would occasionally look at Yan Yiming's face, because this princess looked somewhat similar to the deceased Crown Princess, and there was a red mole at the end of her eye.

I think the child also had a red mole at the corner of his eye, but who could have imagined that it would end like that.

The Crown Princess died on the wedding night while trying to save the Crown Prince. She and His Majesty knew that the Crown Prince was so heartbroken that he had never wanted to marry again. But now so many years have passed, and even if he is unwilling, he can no longer delay.

King Jiangxia sent his daughter to the capital. Although everyone knew that King Jiangxia wanted to arrange marriage, he did not specify which prince the prince would be. She was thinking about the prince so she used her status to go ahead. The other concubines in the palace were dissatisfied but they could do nothing about it.

Yan Yiming naturally noticed the Queen's gaze, but it was no wonder.

The first face I sculpted was somewhat similar to my original appearance, but in order to make the conquest easier I beautified it a lot, so at first glance they still look a bit similar, not to mention there's a red mole at the end of the eye.

Yan Yiming regretted pinching his face and leaving his own marks, but it was too late to regret now.

Similar features, if controlled well, can make things twice as easy as when they conquered Jian Yuyan. However, if not controlled well, it will be an extremely unstable bomb.

Of course, what Yan Yiming needs now is not to get twice the result with half the effort.

The Queen was anxious, but Nangong Xuan was not in a hurry and was even as resistant as before. However, this matter did not allow him to be willful, so Nangong Xuan came neither early nor late. After paying respect to the Queen, he set his eyes on Princess Lin'an standing beside him, but was slightly surprised.

This woman gave birth to...

Yan Yiming nodded and smiled. The red mole in those eyes suddenly coincided with the long-forgotten memory. Nangong Xuan couldn't help but take another look.

The Queen saw Nangong Xuan's expression and was very happy. Since the Crown Princess left, the Crown Prince had not looked at other women for many years.

If the prince could change his mind and not be as stubborn as before, she would be able to make this marriage happen. If she could get the help of King Jiangxia, the position of the prince would be as stable as a rock and no one else would ever covet it.

Princess Lin'an was very good-natured and would take the initiative to bring up topics. I think she had a good impression of the prince. Although the prince returned to his usual indifference after his initial surprise, the queen still felt that there was hope.

She found an empty place and left for a while, giving the two of them some space to be alone. Yan Yiming watched the queen leave, and finally led the topic to the edge of danger step by step. She intentionally or unintentionally mentioned herself who had passed away, and reluctantly praised the prince for his deep affection for the princess.

Nangong Xuan was a little surprised at first that Princess Lin'an had the same red mole at the corner of her eye, but that was all. Now that Princess Lin'an suddenly mentioned her deceased wife, Nangong Xuan felt a little unhappy.

He didn't like others mentioning A Ming, especially those women who might replace A Ming, but he didn't show his emotions and just responded with a few simple words.

However, he didn't expect that this woman was so stupid that she didn't know how to read his expression. She kept mentioning the words "Crown Princess" again and again, and Nangong Xuan became more and more unhappy.

Yan Yiming saw that Nangong Xuan had finally lost his patience, nodded with satisfaction, and then "unrepentantly" ran directly into the muzzle of the gun and said softly,

"I heard that the Crown Princess is stunningly beautiful, and there is a red mole at the end of her right eye..."

Nangong Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the maids around were so frightened that they dared not move, but Yan Yiming still finished the second half of the sentence with a smile.

"When I first heard about this, I felt that Your Highness and I had a connection before I even arrived in the capital. Now that I see Your Highness, I feel even more so. What do you think?"

Nangong Xuan suppressed his anger and reminded himself that the woman in front of him who was shameless enough to compare herself with Ah Ming had a special status. However, as soon as he raised his head, he could see the red mole at the corner of her eye. For a moment, he hated it so much that he wanted to order someone to cut out the red mole.

No matter how noble this woman's status was, he didn't want to see this face again. Nangong Xuan said coldly that he had no intention of remarrying, which might disappoint the princess.

Yan Yiming cooperated and sighed in disappointment, then pretended to be unable to eat and left. Nangong Xuan did not want to keep her for a moment, and watched Yan Yiming leave coldly before leaving the table angrily, just in time to run into the queen who came over to question him after hearing what had happened.

"What did you say to make the princess leave immediately?"

Nangong Xuan still felt extremely disgusted when he thought of what he had just said. He looked at his mother and said bluntly, "I don't like any woman with a red mole at the end of her eye except Ah Ming. Mother, don't waste your thoughts."

Is she worthy of being compared to Ah Ming, who is so stupid?

Nangong Xuan sneered and turned away, leaving the stunned queen holding her forehead weakly.

What a bad fate, what a bad fate!
