"What did you say? Just say it," Yue Qingyin said, intrigued.
“Miss, what I heard is not to be taken seriously. Just listen to it. Today I vaguely heard people say that the Empress is not favored by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager in the palace. It has only been a few days since her wedding, and they are already going to start a selection of ladies to choose for His Majesty…”
Yue Qingyin stood up abruptly, clutching her handkerchief tightly. No wonder, no wonder a concubine's daughter like her could enter the palace.
So it turns out she went there to help her sister win favor. Does that mean she'll have to obey her orders and fawn over her from now on?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Yue Qingyin instinctively refused.
Subconsciously, she disliked Yue Huangyin at all and had no intention of helping her.
"Yunya, go, go..."
"What's wrong?"
Yue Qingyin gritted her teeth, turned around and wrote a note, then quietly instructed Yun Ya, "Give this note to Prince Anxian first thing tomorrow morning. Remember, no one is allowed to see it, understand?"
"Miss, what are you doing?" Yunya asked, slightly surprised.
"Just do as I say, don't overthink it." Yue Qingyin blushed slightly.
Prince Anxian, Jun Qiming, was the woman he longed for.
She still remembered when she first met Prince Anxian at her father's birthday banquet. She thought he was dignified, with distinct features and an extraordinary appearance.
Such a man immediately caught her eye, so when he awkwardly asked for directions, she put on her best to entertain him, displaying her talents to the fullest.
Later, while listening to sutras at Xinglong Temple, she met him at the temple. This coincidence must have been fate. As they met again, feelings began to develop between them.
However, they were still one step away from getting engaged.
Yue Qingyin was extremely satisfied with Jun Qiming. She was just a concubine's daughter. Even if she married well in the future, she would only marry into a humble family and become a principal wife. If she married higher, she would either be a second wife or a concubine.
Although Jun Qiming is from a collateral branch of the royal family, he is still a legitimate member of the royal family. If she marries into his family and becomes his principal wife, who will dare to look down on her in the future?
However, despite her clever plan, she couldn't escape the emperor's sudden decision to hold a selection of women for marriage. All unmarried women were required to participate, and she was on the list.
Yue Qingyin thought it over carefully. Now there were only two paths. One was to try to lose the selection, but the chances of this were obviously very small. With Yue Huangyin around, who would dare to let her lose the selection except the emperor? The second path was to hope that Jun Qiming could find a way to rescue her.
So she sent Yunya to deliver the message, but she didn't know how Jun Qiming would react upon receiving it. Would he risk everything for her?
Yue Qingyin fell asleep, her mind heavy with worries.
the next day.
Yunya had made an excuse to leave the manor early on, and Yue Qingyin waited anxiously for news.
By noon, Yunya finally returned.
When she returned, her face didn't look good, and Yue Qingyin's heart sank.
"What did Prince Anxian say?"
“Miss, I think you should give up on Prince Anxian, he…”
"What happened to him? Tell me quickly!!" Yue Qingyin asked anxiously.
"Miss, do you know where I waited for Prince Anxian?"
"where?"
"Yes...yes...I really can't say it."
"Speak quickly, are you making me anxious by stammering like this?"
“Miss, I found Prince Anxian in a flower alley. He reeked of alcohol and was covered in perfume, clearly having just come out. I gave him your letter, and his expression changed immediately after reading it. He said he needed to go back and discuss it. I don’t think I can count on him.”
