Chapter 131 Marriage

"What do you think?" Bai Ye sat there, "Is what you are doing now the opposite of what you did then?"

Yun Zhuan stared at Bai Ye's face and felt that he seemed to know something.

"Mr. Bai, this is my own business." Yun Zhuan was silent for a while, then smiled. "It will be soon. Once the New Year is over, I will definitely do as you wish."

Bai Ye didn't look at Yun Zhuan: "You only need the basics. After the New Year, you will be thirteen years old. The Nanzhao Kingdom has been destroyed for thirteen years."

Nanzhao is waiting for a king to restore the country, not a sentimental waste.

Yun Zhuan knew in her heart that Bai Ye had worked so hard for her and was waiting for her reward.

But the affairs of the Yuan Kingdom involve too many things, how can she abandon her family?

"Miss, it's time to enter the palace." Duhuo came in to remind Yun Zhuan.

As a defeated princess, she has no time to rest. As soon as she arrives in this country, she needs to enter the palace to meet the emperor and fulfill her duty as a subject.

Bai Ye said softly: "I will discuss with Wanqi and Jiang Shinian how to get you out of this. After all, your identity is also noble. If you leave, someone will definitely find out."

The banner of national restoration cannot be raised casually. To let everyone know Yun Juan's identity requires a token, or Yun Juan's own ability is enough to make them surrender.

"Stop your little tricks. Those people are not worth wasting so much time on." Bai Ye said it absolutely.

In order to hold Yun Zhuan in his arms, he would do anything.

Yun Zhuan was silent for a while, then said to Lu'e, "Help me change my clothes, you and Duhuo will come with me into the palace."

Qing Zhi came over with the toiletries: "Miss, why are you unhappy?"

Yun Zhuan sighed: "I'm not unhappy, I just feel troubled."

Before I was reborn, I only knew that I was the daughter of the Yun family and lived for everything of the Yun family.

But when she had the responsibility of supporting her country, she felt unprecedented pressure.

Yun Rui was waiting at the door. Yun Ke and Yun Xin had asked for leave today and would not go. Yun Jianan, as a princess, had to attend, and Yun Fushang had her own plans and arrangements, so she would not go either.

The carriage was of the Duke's Mansion's specifications and was not plain at all, but rather had an elegance that carried a hint of history.

Today, all officials above the third rank will bring their families into the palace, and all the princes and princesses will be present.

All concubines above the rank of concubine would also attend.

Without Yun Zhuan's order, the maids stationed in the palace would not show up and would perform their duties according to the rules.

The princess of Dongyi covered her face and sat obediently on the side of the Dongyi envoys.

Next to her was Lan'a, wearing the clothes of her tribe, but with the wildness of the Central Plains and the East, like a desert wolf king coming to inspect his territory elsewhere.

I didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Yun Ju'an did not dress up for the event today. Instead, he seemed more low-key, as if he wanted to leave the limelight to others.

But even so, her face couldn't conceal her beauty and prettiness, she was so beautiful that she didn't look like an ordinary woman.

Instead, it attracted everyone's attention at once.

"Duke Yun, your little granddaughter can always stun everyone every time she appears!" Another minister spoke the truth. This could probably be considered sincere flattery, right?

This attracted many people to look in the direction of Yun Ju'an.

She was wearing a black and red long dress today, with roses embroidered on it in circles along the hem, as if they had life.

She wore very light makeup, which made her skin look even whiter than snow, and the other women looked much better than her.

Some people still remember the last time Yun Ju'an attended a banquet, he wore men's clothes, which was unusual, and caused many noble ladies to talk about it in private. Whose handsome young man was this?

Yun Zhuan doesn't have pierced ears, and her hair doesn't have fancy flowers. She just wears a complete set of head ornaments, with no other decorations.

It looks messy but not chaotic, and makes people look more beautiful when they smile.

Princess Dongyi was indeed wearing a light blue dress, which gave her a completely opposite feeling to Yun Zhuan.

Her eyes were deep, like aquamarine that had not been polished for a long time. Her skin color was more like that of a woman from the Central Plains. Her whole person was as elegant as colored glass.

Compared to the wildness revealed by Yun Ju'an, Dongyi Princess Gesang is more like a princess from the Central Plains.

At this time, someone noticed that the witch Lan Zhu was wearing a black and red robe. He had a handsome face and a half-smile on his face, and he seemed to be indifferent to the people and things around him.

After Yun Zhuan sat down, he did not look anywhere else, but just stared at his fruit plate in a daze.

Not long after, Emperor Yuan and Empress Yuan sat in the first seats. It was rare for Concubine Su and Concubine Ying to be present. Yun Zhuan tilted his head slightly and saw Ruan Jiayan, who did not look as calm as when she first entered the palace.

Her belly was bulging, and she was indeed pregnant again. As expected, it was because of this face that she was very much loved by His Majesty.

Yun Zhuan knew that she had a miscarriage, and Ruan Jiayan must have noticed it. Without her support, she would have difficulty surviving in this cannibalistic harem.

Concubine Shu also came with her two princes. Although they were still so young, they were taught very maturely. Yun Zhuan couldn't help but frown, thinking that Concubine Shu must also be interested in that position.

It's normal. Giving birth to two sons increases her chances of becoming the empress dowager. However, the princes have suffered too many setbacks in the process of their growth, and it is still unclear whether they can grow up peacefully.

Lin Qi did not bring his family in. There was a tinge of blue in the corners of his eyes. He must be having a headache about how to get the Lin family out of His Majesty's sight, right?

At the banquet, Lan Deng's gaze towards Yun Zhuan was not as enthusiastic as before.

Yun Ju'an thought again and thought that maybe Lan Deng was already old enough to get married.

"Today, I announce a happy event. I will betroth my daughter Lan Deng to Liang Yan, the eldest son of the Liang family. Lan Deng is now of marriageable age, and Liang Yan is also a smart child. The Queen and I are very satisfied." Emperor Yuan laughed and looked very happy.

Yun Jue looked at Yuan Zhen subconsciously. He was not very happy, perhaps because he had seen through the royal family's indifference.

The Liang family was powerful, and this may have attracted the attention of Emperor Yuan, which led to this arranged marriage.

"I thank the emperor for granting me the marriage." Lan Deng knelt down and saluted.

At the Liang family's banquet, someone also came out to perform the ceremony on behalf of Liang Yan.

Even though Liang Yan was not there, the marriage was still settled, which would also help Yuan Zhi.

No one cared whether Yuan Yao was really happy.

Yun Zhuan suddenly felt a little suffocated.

"In order to show our sincerity, our Dongyi women are very good at singing and dancing. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in watching them?" Abu, the Dongyi envoy, stood up and bowed from a distance.
