Concubine Shu sat there with a sullen face, and behind her, Dongfang Ye also had a sullen face. He also looked a little disheveled at the moment, and it was obvious that he had just woken up. His face was flushed, his hair was messy, and his clothes were not dressed tidy.
An Qingran smiled secretly in her heart, but her face was flustered: "Qingran greets the Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Shu's face turned pale: "Crown Princess, you must explain this matter to me. Prince Kang came here at your invitation, but encountered this kind of thing. What do you think we should do?"
"Your Majesty, Qingran doesn't quite understand. Do you mean that the matter between Prince Kang and Miss Shen was planned by me?" An Qingran asked doubtfully.
Concubine Shu sighed and changed her approach: "Qingran, why would I think that? I was too anxious just now, so I asked like that. In fact, what I want to ask is, has the Crown Princess seen any suspicious people who used your name to frame King Kang?"
She was smart and changed her mind quickly.
An Qingran snorted in her heart, but looked at Dongfang Ye without changing her expression: "King Kang, do you remember what the messenger looks like? But he is someone close to me?"
Dongfang Ye shook his head: "How can I remember so much?"
An Qingran sighed when he heard this: "How can I investigate this? I guess someone must have used my name to invite King Kang, right?"
Shen Zhiyun cried even louder after hearing this: "Crown Princess, that person is definitely not me. I was fine. Someone brought me to this room and said there was a surprise. I knew nothing as soon as I entered the room... Who the hell framed me like this? My innocence is gone. How can I face people in the future? I won't live anymore..."
As she said that, she stood up and rushed towards the screen beside An Qingran. An Qingran, of course, would not let her bump into her, and directly pulled her and said, "What are you thinking? Prince Kang and the princess would not wrongly accuse a good person, so how could they think that it was your plan? You are not familiar with anyone, and you may not even know who is who..."
An Qingran's words were naturally meant for the mother and son to hear. Besides, Dongfang Ye didn't even remember who had passed on the news, and she was not someone close to An Qingran, so it was impossible for her to blame it even if she wanted to.
Concubine Shu spoke up: "Miss Shen, you don't have to cry anymore. It's obvious that someone is behind this. Of course, you are at a disadvantage, but our Prince Kang is not an irresponsible person. Don't worry. Prince Kang's mansion is very big. I will let Ye'er marry you."
He doesn't need just one or two daughters-in-law.
Anyway, the children born at that time will be her grandchildren, so who cares who her daughter-in-law is.
However, this matter clearly points to An Qingran, but there is no evidence.
So, she looked at An Qingran and said, "I asked you to come here to testify that King Kang is not a reckless person, but he has been repeatedly schemed against. Please ask the Crown Princess to help keep an eye out for anyone around you. If that is the case, the Crown Princess needs to be careful."
That's pretty nice words.
An Qingran nodded: "I am deeply sorry about this matter. Someone borrowed my name, probably to cause misunderstanding, so that the queen and King Kang would be angry at Qingran. Fortunately, the queen is a wise person and did not fall for it. Qingran is very grateful."
The smile on Concubine Shu's face was a little stiff, but she still ordered people to get Shen Zhiyun another set of clothes and asked Prince Kang to leave early.
Then ask An Qingran to take care of Shen Zhiyun.
After the two of them were left, Shen Zhiyun stopped crying and looked at An Qingran: "Crown Princess, I'm so embarrassed for you. I never thought that something like this would happen. Did I offend someone?"
An Qingran's face darkened, but she soon smiled again and patted her shoulder: "The one who offended is Prince Kang, right? You don't have to worry. Entering Prince Kang's mansion, even if you become a concubine, is something that most girls dream of, so you don't have to be sad anymore."
Shen Zhiyun nodded, a smile flashing across his lips.
An Qingran saw everything and had her sent back home, telling her to wait for news with peace of mind. No matter what happened, King Kang would not be irresponsible.
Besides, marrying a concubine is really a piece of cake. The betrothal gift from Prince Kang’s Mansion will not be small.
***********
After returning to the palace.
An Qingran fell on the couch exhausted, and Rendong waited beside her to serve her.
An Qingran understood what happened today. No matter how nicely Concubine Shu said, the grudge had deepened. She had not planned when to push Shen Zhiyun to Dongfang Ye. Today, when Rendong followed Shen Zhiyun, she discovered a secret. Shen Zhiyun asked someone to invite Dongfang Ye in An Qingran's name. Rendong hurried back to report her. After hearing this, An Qingran told Rendong to just pretend she knew nothing.
So, when Shen Zhiyun was crying and acting in front of her, An Qingran felt disgusted.
This woman is really good at playing tricks. She takes advantage of me, but I really have to be careful on guard against her.
Don't let her bite back.
But anyway, she achieved her goal.
If Shen Zhiyun enters Prince Kang's mansion, she can at least serve as an insider for him at a critical moment. On the surface, she is on good terms with him, and this will not change. However, after marrying Dongfang Ye, she will inevitably regard Dongfang Ye as her husband and worry about him, so she will point the knife at him sooner or later.
An Qingran yawned loudly and began to think about Qin Xiangning today.
An Qingran had no sympathy for Qin Jianren's end, but she knew that in this life, she and Qin Xiangning had a feud that would affect the relationship between Prince Ning and Dongfang Jin in the future. In the previous life, Prince Ning and Prince Kang were in the same group. In this life, because Concubine Xian was in power, the facts were still unclear. But no matter what, she didn't want the prince to be implicated because of her own affairs, so today she told herself that among the people to be vigilant, Qin Xiangning and Prince Ning should also be included.
After Qin Xiangning married into Prince Ning's Mansion, she frequently visited the palace.
She sat up: "Rosewood, help me think about it, what gift should I give to the prince for his wedding?"
Rendong turned around and took a copy of the dowry that An Qingran had brought with her. After reading it, An Qingran felt that these could not express her feelings.
There are still more than ten days until their wedding, what should she give as a gift?
An Qingran sat there and began to worry.
Dongfang Jin just came back at this moment, and the maid behind him brought in a box. An Qingran stood up in confusion: "What is that?"
"Look for yourself." There was mystery in Dongfang Jin's eyes.
An Qingran opened it doubtfully, and was blinded by a bright light. The night pearl was so big, even bigger than the one King Kang gave her.
An Qingran burst out laughing: "What's going on? Such small beads have already been brought in, why do you need to carry them in such a big box?"
For a moment, An Qingran thought that what they carried in was coral.
Dongfang Jin still didn't say anything, but clapped his hands mysteriously. Someone took out a box. Dongfang Jin opened it. It was a box of pearls, the size of a thumb, sparkling with bright light.
An Qingran didn't know what he meant, she just stared at him blankly, and saw Dongfang Jin pouring a box of pearls into the box. The pearls splashed everywhere, rolling around mischievously, bumping into things and escaping. An Qingran had been quietly waiting for Dongfang Jin to give her a miracle.
Finally, all the beads stopped, and then a miracle really happened: the beads slowly rolled towards the night-shining pearl in the middle, and finally all gathered under the big bead. Slowly, like many stars gathering around the moon, they actually lifted up the radiant bead...
An Qingran was nothing but stunning.
"If you accept such a gift, and the emperor gets to his ears, I'm afraid he will have other ideas." An Qingran suddenly said vigilantly.
And had the gate of the courtyard closed.
Murong Lanxin should not come over now.
Dongfang Jin looked nonchalant: "Don't worry, I didn't get this thing by greed. I bought it from someone by chance..."
An Qingran didn't know how much silver it was worth, but this new thing just solved her current worries.
"How does the prince plan to deal with this?" An Qingran tried to sound out his attitude first.
Dongfang Jin smiled: "This rare item should be matched with a rare person. I think Dongfang Run is the only one who can barely match it. Although he is a bit annoying, he is not that annoying. I plan to give this to him at their wedding. What do you think?"
An Qingran nodded and smiled brightly.
Dongfang Jin's face darkened, and he stretched out his long arms to hold her in his arms: "Why do you smile so cunningly when you hear the name Dongfang Run?"
An Qingran knew that he was jealous, and couldn't help but laugh: "I am someone, petty-minded."
Dongfang Jin refused to listen, picked her up horizontally, put her on the couch, and stretched out his hand to tickle her. Looking at An Qingran's beautiful smile, he couldn't help but kiss her. The room instantly became quiet, and the palace maids quietly retreated. The sun shone on the box, flashing a dazzling light...
***************888
Over the past month, many members of the royal family have been getting married, and the people of the capital have been talking about it. Although no one wants to, it still dilutes the sad atmosphere brought by Queen Yun.
An Qingran discovered that Dongfang Jin seemed to have completely forgotten about Queen Yun. He was busy all day long, and his usual signature improper and evil expression appeared on his face again.
An Qingran couldn't help but sigh secretly.
But then she discovered something that changed her mind completely, and she felt deeply guilty for her previous misunderstanding.
It turned out that when she was sleeping at night, she found that Dongfang Jin was wearing mourning clothes all the time.
On his left arm, there was a small word "filial piety" sewn. An Qingran looked at the word "filial piety" and wondered when he had done it and who helped him do it?
This question remains.
In fact, if she asked, Dongfang Jin would tell her that he did it himself, but she didn't know whether she would believe it.
The wedding of Dongfang Run and Lou Wanyue was held on schedule.
