Lanqin's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, I would like to arrange a marriage between Yuyin and the Seventeenth Prince. What do you think?"
The Fourth Prince was quite surprised, not expecting Lanqin to arrange a marriage for the Seventeenth Prince. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. He pondered for a moment and said, "A-Ling is a Grand Secretary, a first-rank official in the court. His eldest daughter is already a prince's wife, and now his youngest daughter is marrying the Seventeenth Prince. It's a good match..."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince did not object, Lanqin said to him coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please agree. Yu Yin is deeply in love with the Seventeenth Prince. You can't break up this loving couple..."
The Fourth Prince smiled and pulled Lanqin into his arms: "I still need to go back and ask the Seventeenth Prince what he thinks. We can't force him, can we? What do you think?"
Lanqin excitedly wrapped her arms around the Fourth Prince's neck and planted a big kiss on his cheek: "Your Majesty, thank you..."
Those unpleasant things weighing on his mind were no longer important; the fact that the Fourth Prince always went to the Old Summer Palace said it all.
After staying overnight, the Fourth Prince hurriedly returned to the palace at dawn the next day.
Bao Qin and Yu Xiao helped Lan Qin dress and get ready. Seeing Lan Qin's happy expression, they exchanged a meaningful smile. Lan Qin turned her head shyly and glared at the two of them, saying, "What are you thinking?"
As Baoqin tidied Lanqin's clothes, she said, "Your Majesty, you've been smiling nonstop ever since the Emperor left. It's hard for us not to overthink things..."
Yu Xiao smiled and approached Lan Qin, tentatively asking, "Your Majesty's complexion is alluring and radiant. When the Emperor sees Your Majesty, his eyes are always on you."
Lanqin blushed and exclaimed "Ah!" before turning around to tickle Yuxiao and Baoqin, and the three of them burst into laughter.
Lanqin later explained, "I did this to make Yuyin happy. Yesterday, Fourth Master agreed to go back and consider her marriage to Seventeenth Master. Yuyin has always been in love with Seventeenth Master, but unfortunately, as a woman, she cannot confess her feelings in person. Now that she has reached the age of marriage, if I don't help her, her father will choose someone else for her, and she will be ruined for life."
Baoqin suddenly realized, and carefully combed Lanqin's hair, sighing, "Your Highness always cares about other people's affairs but not your own. It's rare for the Fourth Prince to come, Your Highness should think more about yourself..."
Yu Xiao chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Emperor why he pardoned Wuya? She treated Your Majesty so badly back then, but the Fourth Prince, out of consideration for her status, only confined her to the Cold Palace. Now, thanks to the Fourth Prince's 'Great Heroism of the Empire,' she can come out and stir up trouble again..."
Baoqin stopped what she was doing in anger, gripped the comb tightly, and said fiercely, "Your Majesty should persuade the Fourth Prince not to pardon Wuya. Letting her spend her whole life in the Cold Palace to atone for her sins is too lenient on her..."
Lanqin's expression shifted from joy to cold. She knew about Wuya's pardon. Although she was initially furious and confused, she later felt relieved. She didn't want to create more enemies by endless cycles of revenge; she only hoped that Wuya would reflect on her mistakes and stop provoking her.
Lanqin said calmly, "Forget it. Even if I asked, what difference would it make? The Emperor's actions are not solely based on personal feelings, and besides, there must be a reason for granting a general amnesty. Since Lady Wuya is within the scope of the amnesty, if I were to intervene, it would only put the Emperor in a difficult position, and the loss would outweigh the gain..."
Seeing that Lanqin had said this much, the two had no choice but to say no more.
