Dongfang Run said with some regret: "I was just asking casually. The last time she went to Yuehua Temple, she didn't look very happy..."
"Brother, did you notice that An Qingran was unhappy?"
Dongfang Ruoxue saw that her brother was a little embarrassed, so she stopped joking and said seriously: "An Qingran has not contacted me since she went back recently. However, she is a smart woman. Even if there are any problems in the general's mansion, she will handle it."
She had heard a little bit about the struggle in the General's Mansion.
Dongfang Run nodded: "Got it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Dongfang Ruoxue suddenly said, "Brother, I plan to hold a party next month, is that okay?"
Dongfang Run turned around, with a smile in his eyes, and nodded.
Watching his figure disappear, Dongfang Ruoxue sighed. Her brother really made her feel distressed. He was not a passionate person and always looked indifferent. People who didn't know him must have thought he was cold-blooded, but she knew that her brother was the most affectionate.
When she thought of An Qingran, her face smiled even more. She liked that little girl very much.
If she could be her sister-in-law, she would have no regrets.
What they didn't know was that at this moment Emperor Yunqi was sitting in the palace, worrying about the imperial edict. The sooner An Qingran's marriage was settled, the sooner his two sons would give up. So, if they waited any longer, it would be his sons who would suffer.
An Qingran was such an outstanding child, and she was indebted to the royal family. He couldn't just give her to any family, as that would be a blasphemy to her.
Suddenly, Dongfang Run's image flashed through his mind. That child was rare in his ability to be steady and not too interested in fame, wealth and power. If that child were to be paired with An Qingran, it would be a perfect match. It's not that he didn't have selfish motives. If possible, he really wanted An Qingran to be his daughter-in-law.
He could tell that she was a very smart child.
So, he made up his mind and drafted an imperial edict, asking the eunuch to report the good news to the Prince Shou's Mansion.
The father-in-law was sitting in the carriage, thinking about this good job. He would definitely get a lot of rewards when the time comes. What's more, this is the Prince Shou's Mansion, so the financial resources are naturally extraordinary.
The carriage stopped suddenly.
He lifted the curtain and was about to get angry, but he saw the prince riding on a horse, blocking the front of the carriage, with an anxious look on his face: "Sir, I'm sorry, but it's an emergency, please forgive me."
"Prince? What does this mean? But the Emperor has changed his mind and summoned me back?"
"Eunuch, this imperial edict will have to wait a little longer before it can be delivered. I wonder if you would accept it?" Dongfang Jin was unusually serious and humble.
The eunuch didn't understand: "This...I dare not delay the imperial edict."
"Only one hour. Eunuch, please stay here for one hour, and I will take care of the rest. How about that? I will owe you a favor."
"I don't deserve it." The eunuch was a little panicked, but still nodded: "I have risked my life, but it can only delay one hour. If it's longer, I'm afraid my head will not be moved..."
"Thank you very much. I will remember your kindness." After saying this, Dongfang Jin clasped his fists and rode his horse towards the palace.
Eunuch Huang was stunned, but he vaguely knew that this must be related to the content of the imperial edict.
The young man driving the carriage was a little confused: "Butler, our carriage cannot stop in the middle of the road."
"Isn't there a teahouse in front?" Eunuch Huang said slowly.
The carriage moved forward slowly.
Dongfang Jin's horse went all the way to the Meridian Gate. He threw the horse and performed lightness skills. It was the first time for the guards to see the prince lose his composure like this. They all had a feeling that something big was going to happen.
Dongfang Jin rushed into the Feng Palace, panting heavily: "Mother, save me..."
Before he finished speaking, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it all: "Father has assigned An Qingran to Dongfang Run, and Eunuch Huang was stopped by me, so he only gave me one more hour..."
Queen Yun understood immediately, she stood up and said: "Your father is really..."
She looked a little hesitant.
"Mother, I will not marry anyone other than An Qingran. Why can't father meet my request?" Dongfang Jin's tone was dissatisfied.
"Jin'er, be patient. Your mother will go to see your father soon. You are not allowed to barge in. Just wait here for her to come back. Okay?"
Dongfang Jin nodded.
When Emperor Yunqi saw Empress Yun, he was stunned. Obviously, he also felt something was wrong. The Empress rarely asked him for anything, so he couldn't help but ask, "My beloved, why are you so anxious?"
Queen Yun smiled: "Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty arrange a marriage for An Qingran without telling me such a big thing? After all, she is an old friend. I thought Your Majesty would marry her to the prince..."
"This matter is really difficult to handle..." Emperor Yunqi showed a difficult expression on his face, "My beloved concubine also knows that Prince Kang also mentioned An Qingran to me. The Queen must also know the reason why I cannot let her enter the palace..."
"Your Majesty, I understand in my heart. If the prince was an ordinary child, I would go back to persuade him. But the prince has suffered so much with us since he was a child, and he has never asked for anything. He is rarely fond of An Qingran. In fact, these are nothing. He is a man and a prince, so there are gains and losses. But his health is so bad. I was selfish. I thought that the prince could have someone with excellent medical skills to take care of him, which would also be good for his physical conditioning. If Qingran can find some way to cure his disease, I will die with my eyes closed..." Queen Yun became more and more sad as she spoke.
Emperor Yunqi felt sad when he heard her say that, "Why are you saying such depressing words again? Haven't you recovered from your illness? And you're still talking about whether you can close your eyes or not? My heart can't stand any more stimulation."
"I was wrong, Your Majesty. I was just anxious at the moment and forgot to be cautious." There were tears in Queen Yun's eyes. She was really anxious. Her illness would relapse in a few months. If she didn't see the Crown Princess by then, she would be very sad.
Seeing the Queen like this, Emperor Yunqi was also discouraged: "Okay, I will issue an order immediately to call Eunuch Huang back. This imperial decree granting the marriage will be invalidated, okay?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
So, Eunuch Huang, who was drinking tea, came back again.
He knew in his heart that the emperor still cared about the prince.
I think I did the right thing by doing this favor.
Dongfang Jin was relieved when he heard the news. He thought that his father knew his feelings and would soon issue an edict to grant him a marriage. However, after waiting for a few days, there was no movement. He couldn't help but feel distressed and went to look for his mother again. However, Queen Yun knew the emperor well, so she didn't go to see him immediately.
