"Dad, you actually bought this? Although I usually dislike troubles, this golden hairpin is so good. I liked it at first sight. Thank you, Dad. I will wear it often in the future."
Seeing Chaoge being as happy as a child, Yunchang also felt happy.
Leng Xiaoran's was a jade pendant, Leng Liecheng's was a beautifully crafted dagger inlaid with gemstones, Leng Furong's was a small and exquisite golden abacus, and Yun Chaoyi's was a set of four treasures of the study.
But Yun Chaoyi was very surprised to see that his father had prepared special gifts without telling them.
After all, Yunhe is a rough man. Although he loves them, he has never been very considerate.
In addition, Yunchang also prepared a complete set of golden locks and gold medals for several of his grandsons.
Even Yunxuan and Yunhe were each given a jade hairpin.
As a daughter, it was the first time that Chaoge received a gift personally chosen by her father. She was so happy that she returned to the yard and kept holding the hairpin, looking at it over and over again, unwilling to put it down.
As she watched, she suddenly felt melancholy, and Rong Ranhua's face kept replaying in her mind.
Rong Ranhua was the same at this time. Looking at the table full of delicious food, he had no appetite at all.
She really wanted to have a reunion dinner with her daughter during this family reunion, but she didn't dare to disturb Chaoge.
The moon was above the treetops, the wind and snow outside had stopped, and the clouds in the sky had parted to reveal a crescent moon and stars.
Rong Ranhua drank glass after glass of wine silently, his mind filled with thoughts of his daughter.
"Your Highness, you have drunk a lot today. You should rest early. In a few days, the Second Prince will be born. If you see your Highness looking so haggard, wouldn't you feel heartbroken?"
"Madam Xuan... please sit down."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Xuan was frightened and quickly took a step back and bowed to Rong Ranhua.
"I ask you to sit down and have a couple of drinks with me. There are only you and me here, and no outsiders, so there is no need to be polite."
"But......"
"I order you to sit down!"
Rong Ranhua suddenly raised her voice, and in this huge room, the pressure echoed for a long time, frightening Nanny Xuan so much that she sat down immediately.
Just as the glass of wine was filled, the voice of a guard was suddenly heard outside.
"Madam, there is a girl here to visit."
"girl?!"
Hearing these two words, Rong Ranhua, who was already a little drunk, couldn't help but stand up.
"My lady, I will go and take a look. Perhaps it is the princess."
"Come on, come together and give me a hand."
In this capital city, only her daughter would come to see her. How could Rong Ranhua not be excited?
Even though her head was dizzy now, she couldn't wait to see her.
Knowing what was troubling her madam, Nanny Xuan did not dare to persuade her too much. She hurriedly supported her and walked out.
When he saw the person coming, it was a strange face, the smile on Rong Ranhua's face instantly turned into disappointment.
When the woman took off her veil, the disappointment on Rong Ranhua's face turned into surprise.
"Her Majesty, Happy New Year."
"Why is the princess here at this time?"
"My lady, let's talk for a moment."
Princess Mingyan looked at Rong Ranhua in front of her with a smile. The smile on her noble face made her even more beautiful.
The two entered the main hall, and Rong Ranhua dismissed everyone, including Nanny Xuan.
Smelling the slight scent of alcohol on Rong Ranhua, Princess Mingyan still had a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, you have been in Canglan Dynasty for such a long time. Are you worried about the two princes in Xiling?"
Upon hearing this, the expression on Rong Ranhua's face froze, and when he looked at Princess Mingyan again, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Princess Mingyan, what do you mean by this? Why do I hear such strong threats?"
Hearing this, Princess Mingyan lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am here to see you at this time. I believe that you are aware of my intentions, right?"
Rong Ranhua looked at Princess Mingyan who was so thoughtful and smiled coldly, "I really don't know what Princess Mingyan's intention is, so why don't you just tell me."
"I have no other intentions. I just want to cooperate with the Queen."
Rong Ranhua pretended to be confused, but she was already extremely surprised in her heart.
She really didn't expect that a princess of the Canglan Dynasty would be so ambitious.
Oh, it really made her look at Princess Mingyan with new eyes!
"cooperate?
I don’t know what exactly the cooperation that the princess is referring to is? I am a little confused. "
As she spoke, Rong Ranhua rubbed her temples as if she had a headache. She was originally seven points drunk, but after the cold wind just now, she was only five points drunk. But now she acted like she was eight points drunk.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. I just received news that Beiping Lu has launched an attack on the Canglan Dynasty’s palace again, and this time, Prime Minister Dong is also with him.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity for your country to expand its territory, and also an opportunity for the Queen's two princes to prove themselves."
Rong Ranhua......
She really underestimated Princess Mingyan. This princess's courage was even stronger than that of the princes of the Canglan Dynasty!
Seeing Rong Ranhua continue to gently massage her temple, Princess Mingyan's expression remained unchanged. She did not think that Rong Ranhua was so drunk that he could not understand what she was saying.
"The national conditions of your country are somewhat different from those of several other countries. The two princes of the Queen are both legitimate. However, as far as I know, even though the Queen has been in office for more than 20 years, her relationship with the Emperor of your country is not that respectful.
Isn't the Queen worried that the crown prince position will fall into the hands of another prince, and that you and the two princes will end up in a miserable situation?"
Listening to Princess Mingyan's continued analysis, Rong Ranhua finally moved his fingers away from his temple.
"So, what kind of agreement does Princess Mingyan want to reach with me?"
"Send troops to help Lord Dongxiang."
Rong Ranhua! ?
"What's the point of helping Dong Xiang? Princess, you know that Dong Xiang and my Xi Ling are very far apart. Even if I want to help, I have to either cross your Canglan Dynasty or go through Zhannan Kingdom. Do you think it is necessary for me, Xi Ling, to take this risk?
Moreover, it is obviously more convenient for Zhannan Kingdom to send troops, so why doesn't the princess seek cooperation from the emperor of Zhannan Kingdom?"
Listening to Rong Ranhua's words, Princess Mingyan smiled softly.
"If the Queen feels it's risky, she can also send troops to Beipinglu. I only have one goal..."
After Princess Mingyan left, Rong Ranhua gradually sobered up from his drunkenness.
In the end, Princess Mingyan did not reveal the real purpose, but she had vaguely guessed it.
"My queen, my queen!"
Just as Rong Ranhua was thinking about it, Nanny Xuan walked in excitedly from outside. The Queen rarely saw Nanny Xuan's behavior so flustered.
"My lady, here I come, here I come!"
