Linghu Lan: "..."
He impulsively arranged a marriage for someone without warning; typical of Mo Tang.
but……
"I'm still a minor!" Linghu Lan looked at Li Ye with a half-smile and couldn't help but tease him.
"Ah! You haven't reached the age of marriage yet?" Li Ye looked Linghu Lan up and down, very curious, as she did look quite young.
Linghu Lan smiled. "I've been of marriageable age for tens of thousands of years, but this body has only just matured. Would Consort Hongfei agree to your marriage? I'm just a commoner, not of noble birth. Doesn't the royal family always value social standing?"
“Others may be particular, but my mother is not. She comes from a Taoist family and doesn’t care about social status. As long as I like it, she doesn’t care. My father may think it’s inappropriate, but my brother, the Crown Prince, will be very happy. He will definitely plead on my behalf to my father, and then my father will agree.”
When Li Ye spoke of these things, a faint sadness appeared on his young and innocent face.
Linghu Lan could probably understand this feeling. Li Ye was still young and had no intention of vying for power. He still cherished the family ties he had formed in his childhood.
But his elder brother, the crown prince, had experienced hardships and setbacks, and had worried day and night; he had already changed.
Li Ye is so intelligent that he must have already realized it, but he is still young at heart and makes futile attempts to persuade her to stay.
Linghu Lan rested her head on Li Ye's shoulder and thought for a moment before saying, "Since your father and mother don't mind, then getting married is not a bad idea."
Li Ye smiled and rested his head on Linghu Lan's head.
The two fluffy little heads leaned together, creating a scene that evoked a sense of peaceful tranquility.
Qi Wuhe frowned. He naturally knew that the situation in the capital was turbulent and unpredictable, not just a matter between parents and brothers as the Ninth Prince had said. There were too many entanglements of interests involved.
The Ninth Prince wanted to stay out of it, and marrying a girl from a poor background would indeed allow him to withdraw from the power struggle.
However, his mother, Consort Hong, was a favored concubine, so even if he wanted to escape, he would have to see if others were willing to let him go.
Qi Wuhe sighed silently. He really liked this innocent, cute, and carefree Ninth Prince, and hoped that he would have a bright future.
Unfortunately, being in the royal family meant that many things were beyond one's control.
And so, the group traveled leisurely for about ten days before arriving in the capital.
After arriving in the capital, Li Ye did not settle Linghu Lan in his prince's residence on his own. Instead, he took Linghu Lan directly into Consort Hong's palace.
Firstly, placing her directly in his own princely residence would be convenient for him, but it would also raise suspicions of keeping a mistress, which wouldn't be good for Linghu Lan's reputation.
Therefore, he directly sent Linghu Lan to his mother's side, which was perfectly legitimate and aboveboard.
It will be more convenient to get married in the future.
Inside the Rainbow Palace.
Consort Hongfei looked Linghu Lan up and down a few times. She saw that although she was young, she was bright and beautiful. She was dressed simply, but with a little makeup, she would be stunning.
Her demeanor was elegant, refined, and composed; even royal princesses rarely possessed her poise.
When she smiles, she is gentle and beautiful, dignified and poised, with a clear and honest gaze. She is a person of pure heart and will surely be a virtuous wife and loving mother in the future.
In conclusion, Consort Hong was extremely satisfied with Linghu Lan.
She immediately bestowed upon Linghu Lan jewelry, clothes, and hairpins, which Linghu Lan accepted without hesitation, thanking her profusely.
