Chapter 2036 Doorway
"She's waiting for someone to come up with ideas."
"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom? Waiting for—you, my lady?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just slightly curled the corners of her lips.
Ran Xiaoyu seemed to understand, but looking at Nan Yan's deep eyes, she felt a little confused and said, "My Lady, how do we solve this problem? Is it difficult?"
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at her, then said, "Actually, you don't think it's difficult, right?"
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "I dare to speak nonsense."
"you say."
"In fact, this matter can be easily resolved by just pretending to be in love and betrothing Miss Qiqing to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
“…”
"Right now, the rumors in the capital are that they're having a secret meeting. But if the Emperor announces their marriage and lets them get engaged, then when they get married, those rumors will actually turn into a good story."
“…”
"Isn't this easily solved?"
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the easiest, most direct, and most effective solution."
“…”
"But the Queen disagrees."
"she--"
Nan Yan said: "Even though she didn't say it, as long as she didn't say it, it means she doesn't agree."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned, then thought back to what had just happened in the hall, and suddenly understood something: "So in the hall, the Emperor looked at the Empress several times, but the Empress just knelt and apologized without saying a word."
Nan Yan looked up at her and said with a half-smile, "Have you figured out the trick?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "At that time, I didn't know why."
“…”
"Now that your majesty has said this, I understand."
“…”
"In fact, the Emperor has naturally thought of that solution. He might even wonder why the Empress didn't just propose it directly. If she had just proposed it and the Emperor agreed, wouldn't the problem have been easily resolved?"
Nan Yan shook her head again.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately asked, "What did I say wrong?"
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor did think of this method, but he wasn't surprised why the Empress didn't mention it. He knew very well why the Empress didn't mention it."
“…”
"When he looked at the Queen, he was just hoping she would bring it up."
“…”
"Because the Prince of Wei was raised by the Empress, his marriage must be approved by the Empress no matter what."
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, thought about it, and suddenly understood.
She said, "So, the Queen's apology this time may not just be for this one crime."
“…”
"The 'crime' she's asking for is that her disapproval has affected the reputations of King Wei and Miss Qiqing."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I guess so."
Seeing the sweat dripping down her forehead, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly took out a fan and fanned her from a distance. The cool breeze made Nan Yan feel a little better.
But in my heart, it is more painful than being exposed to the scorching sun.
She sighed deeply and said, "It's easy to say, but if the Queen doesn't agree, it will be really difficult."
Ran Xiaoyu was fanning herself gently while frowning in thought.
After a while, he said, "The Queen doesn't want Miss Qiqing and Prince Wei to be together because—Miss Qiqing is on the Queen's side, right?"
Nan Yan nodded solemnly.
