The master looked at his most beloved granddaughter and said slowly, "The regent asked the prince to apologize to you. Do you know what that means?"
Shi Qingqing lowered her eyes.
The Master said solemnly, "The Regent has already made up his mind."
Shi Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at her respected grandfather.
"Grandfather, haven't you and the ministers in the court always been against handing over the southern border to someone who is not of royal blood?"
"I was too narrow-minded before. Now it seems that the Regent thinks much further than I do."
"Empress Fengluan personally sent the prince back to Southern Xinjiang, and temporarily put aside her own status and brought people to help our poisoned soldiers detoxify. What does this mean?"
This means that Empress Fengluan can disregard any interests and rules for the sake of the Crown Prince!
"Not to mention Dajing and Xiyue, as long as Fengluan stands firmly with our Southern Border, we can at least ensure the prosperity and stability of our Southern Border for the next 20 years."
With twenty years of development opportunities, Southern Xinjiang will surely grow into a lion!
The Master, who was looking forward to the future, was slightly excited. "The Regent asked the Crown Prince to come and apologize to you. I'm sure you understand the other meaning. He chose you to be the woman standing beside him."
"Although your marriage to the Regent has not yet been put on the official agenda, it is already a done deal. I hope you can assist the Regent and the Crown Prince wholeheartedly."
"Qingqing, you were raised by me personally, and you are the daughter of my master. Grandfather believes that you can do well. Soon, you will be the most noble woman in Southern Xinjiang. As for..."
Su Yi's face flashed through Master Taifu's mind. "You don't have to worry about the little girl beside the Regent. She poses no threat to you. If the Regent wants to keep her with him, then let him. The Regent is a sensible person and will never ignore you because of that little girl."
This is a reminder and also a warning.
So that she doesn't have to worry about Su Yi.
"Don't worry, grandpa. Your granddaughter understands."
A rare look of satisfaction appeared on Master Taifu's serious face.
"Just stay in the mansion for the time being and wait for your wedding."
"Yes, everything will be in accordance with grandfather's arrangements."
The master was more satisfied, "Go down."
"Granddaughter, take your leave."
Shi Qingqing bowed gracefully and withdrew, without any reluctance or dissatisfaction on her face.
But when she returned to her boudoir and kicked out all the servants in the room, her face changed completely.
The teacher’s daughter?
She is willing to serve the country and pay a huge price. But has anyone ever considered her? She is the daughter of the Master family and a citizen of Southern Xinjiang, but she is also a woman!
Of course she admired a man like the Regent, and she believed from the bottom of her heart that only a man like him was worthy of marrying in the entire southern Xinjiang.
But what does grandfather mean now?
After she married the Queen Regent, she would wholeheartedly push someone else's child into that position? Besides, that child wasn't even the Queen Regent's bloodline!
She can't do it!
In the royal family, even brothers who were related by blood fought against each other. When she gave birth to a child in the future, how could Yin Li tolerate it?
Thinking of Yin Li's attitude towards her yesterday, a flash of viciousness flashed across Shi Qingqing's eyes.
Haha, His Royal Highness has been weak since childhood and is still young. Who knows if he can be raised safely?
After all, aren't there countless children dying every day in this world?
On the other side, in the posthouse in southern Xinjiang that entertained foreign guests, Empress Fengluan Qian Yuse and her entourage also talked about the issue of Yin Li's apology today.
Su Yi and Master Taifu could see it, and Qian Yu Se could naturally see it as well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have behaved like that today.
You should have gone to settle the score with Yin Xuanmo a long time ago.
The attendant considered, "Although the Regent of Southern Xinjiang values the young prince, I am afraid that he may also be using me, Feng Luan, as an excuse. Your Majesty, are you really going to let the young prince take over Southern Xinjiang in the future?"
Qian Yuse sneered, "That depends on whether the court in Southern Xinjiang will behave like a human being."
If she truly surrenders and assists A-li, she, Fengluan, will be the best helper in Southern Xinjiang. If she just uses A-li as a puppet, she will make Yin Xuanmo regret this move!
"This is just the beginning. The officials in Southern Xinjiang are not stupid. I am not worried that they will do anything weird now. But..."
Qian Yu narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Arrange someone to keep an eye on that Miss Master. Judging from what happened today, it's inevitable that Yin Xuanmo will marry her."
She is also a woman, and a woman in a high position.
Put yourself in their shoes. No woman would sit in such a position without considering her offspring.
"yes."
In short, Yin Li's apology today quickly reached the ears of various interested people in southern Xinjiang.
Those shrewd court officials and nobles all understood Yin Xuanmo's subtext.
So the next day when Yin Xuanmo started to take Yin Li to court to listen to government affairs, no court official was ignorant of the current situation and stood up to object.
Even though they had objected not long ago, saying that Yin Li was not Yin Xuanmo's biological descendant.
Another point is that the Grand Tutor had communicated with several important officials in the court.
The prestige of Master Shi is not just talk.
Now that the Grand Master has changed his tune and supports Crown Prince Yin Li, what else can they say?
Yin Xuanmo saw this point very accurately.
After a few days, the poisoned soldiers who returned from Shuiyue Oasis were basically detoxified. The haze that shrouded the sky over the capital of Southern Xinjiang finally dissipated completely, and the people of Kyoto returned to their former lively and bustling lives.
Su Yi was preparing snacks for Yin Li in the small kitchen, because Yin Li was about to return home. It was just the right time for him to come back.
"Girl!"
A Duo rushed in, with a look on her face as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Yi was a little surprised, "Sister Aduo, why did you come back so soon?"
Aduo has no close relatives at home, only a concubine uncle who once took care of her.
There was nothing special to do during the two days, so A Duo asked for leave from Su Yi and the palace housekeeper, saying that she was going back to see her uncle and would return home tomorrow.
It's just now that he's back.
Ah Duo couldn't care about anything else now, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Regent asked one of his uncles to bring officials from the Ministry of Rites and betrothal gifts to the Taifu Mansion to propose marriage!"
"It should be that both parties have already agreed on it, and today is just a formality. I heard that the Ministry of Rites took out the date that had been planned long ago, and in just three months, His Royal Highness the Regent will marry Miss Shi!"
