Yan Jiaoran was exhausted from the journey and hurried back to the palace.
We must not give Murong Yanran and Qin Yuan the space to have a secret meeting.
If they are already having a tryst, they must be interrupted and made to feel extremely uncomfortable!
Yan Jiaoran thought so and immediately ordered someone to find Murong Yanran.
Unexpectedly, Murong Yanran has been in the palace all the time.
Yanran stood me up and has been staying in the palace all this time?
No way!
Yan Jiaoran felt a little bit unbelievable.
After a while, he saw Murong Yanran.
She was dressed in a dark blue and white outfit, and her demeanor was as graceful and elegant as a jade plum. She bowed and said, "Yanran greets Your Majesty."
Yan Jiaoran felt a sour taste in her mouth.
How come Yanran becomes a completely different person after going out with this bastard?
The Murong Yanran in front of him exuded an unprecedented elegance, as if all the makeup had been washed away, revealing her jade-like beauty.
Yan Jiaoran did not dare to show weakness, she raised her hand slightly and said elegantly: "Yanran, no need to be polite."
Murong Yanran smiled, her eyes fixed, "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to find Yanran? I wonder what's the matter?"
Yan Jiaoran glanced at him, trying to find fault with him.
But I don’t know where to start.
He had no choice but to pick up the teacup on the table and gently sip the tea he had brought from the Qin Mansion. At the same time, he paused and smiled earnestly at Murong Yanran, "Yanran, have a sip of tea first."
The words fell.
Then he started to drink tea by himself.
Elegant and graceful, like a graceful beauty.
Seeing this, Murong Yanran couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled:
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask why Yanran didn't attend the celebration?"
Yan Jiaoran leisurely sipped her tea, brushed off the invisible dust on her skirt knees, and said calmly:
"If you don't want to come, then don't come."
"It's just that my reputation has been damaged."
"Yanran, you must have your own reasons for not coming."
Murong Yanran glanced at her, a hint of girlish mischief and cunning flashed across her gentle eyes.
As if he had known Yan Jiaoran's thoughts for a long time, but just didn't expose them, he smiled and said, "Yanran, you are afraid of delaying His Majesty's important event."
Yan Jiaoran raised her thin, curved eyebrows and snorted, "What big deal could it be?"
"Since there was nothing serious going on, why did Your Majesty allow Jinlian to tie Qin Tongpan to the carriage to receive the title?"
"Furthermore, during this trip to Jiangnan, Qin Tongpan has indeed made great contributions. Yanran dare not take all the credit for it."
"Of course, I won't get on the carriage."
"Your Majesty, how is it? Have you seen the person you have been thinking about day and night?"
Murong Yanran picked up the fragrant tea as if nothing had happened, with a charming smile on her face, as if she was chatting with a close relative. Her elegance was mixed with the innocence of a young girl.
Yan Jiaoran didn't understand the meaning of the words.
Youyou sighed and shook her head, "Fortunately, none of you got on this car."
"I don't know who is so bold as to use a crossbow to assassinate you!"
Murong Yanran showed a look of astonishment, "How could such a thing happen?"
"Who on earth is so bold?"
Yan Jiaoran narrowed her eyes slightly, "Anyone who can get the Eight Oxen Crossbow is definitely not an ordinary person, most likely someone from an aristocratic family."
"I think what you have done has made them very wary."
Murong Yanran chuckled and said, "So what if I'm afraid?"
"The imposition of labor service on land is inevitable. They have no hope of turning the tables."
"Without tens of thousands of hidden fields and tenants, how much power will they have left in the future?"
Murong Yanran's face clearly showed a smile, but there was not even a trace of a smile in her eyes.
Yan Jiaoran sighed again, "I miscalculated this time and almost hurt Yanran."
Murong Yanran thought for a moment, then suppressed her charming smile and said seriously, "Your Majesty, even if Yanran didn't make any contribution this time, she must have worked hard, right?"
Yan Jiaoran was stunned. Is he asking for a reward?
This is not like Yanran's style.
She nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, Yanran, you have made great contributions, so you deserve a reward. I wonder what you would like?"
"As long as you ask, I will grant you your request."
"If you want to be the Prime Minister, I'm afraid you'll have to discuss it with the court officials at the court meeting."
"However, since you have made such great contributions, there will be no problem in making you a prime minister. No one will object. It just so happens that the Left Prime Minister has reached the age to retire and return home."
Murong Yanran lowered her eyelashes, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in her faint smile: "Your Majesty, Yanran does not want these."
"Then what do you want? Just ask." Yan Jiaoran was slightly stunned and said calmly.
"Yanran, I would like to ask His Majesty to grant me a marriage!" Murong Yanran smiled faintly.
"Arranged marriage?" Yan Jiaoran's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.
"Yanran would like to ask Your Majesty to grant a marriage between Yanran and Qin Yuan!" Murong Yanran smiled.
She stared straight into Yan Jiaoran's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in her gentle smile.
"Bang!"
Yan Jiaoran slammed the table, suppressing her anger and gritting her teeth as she said, "Yanran, he already has a wife and is married!"
Murong Yanran bit her lip to suppress her laughter, "Yanran knows."
"But the Zhang family needs a successor, Your Majesty."
"In the whole world, Yanran only loves Qin Yuan, and that's enough."
"No!" Yan Jiaoran flatly refused, "I won't agree!"
"Why?" Murong Yanran pressed, "Your Majesty, why don't you respond?"
Murong Yanran looked at Yan Jiaoran, who was full of jealousy but didn't dare to show it, and she could hardly hold back the smile in her heart.
Your Majesty, you are still pretending and hiding it from Yanran.
