Chapter 308 Annoyed
After all, she was her own sister. Finally, Queen Wei said, "Call her in!"
A moment later, the wife of Duke Song, Wei Ziqiong, walked in with a young woman.
When seeing Lin Pianran, Wei Ziqiong couldn't help but think of her two children, both of whom died in unclear and extremely tragic ways.
She always knew that her daughter's death must be closely related to Lin Pianran.
When she saw Lin Pianran, it was as if she saw her mortal enemy, and scorching fire flashed in her eyes.
Lin Pianran turned her head and met the murderous gaze of the wife of Duke Song, as if she wanted to torture her to death.
Huo Yuchen also noticed the unfriendly look in the wife of Duke Song and immediately spoke up to defend her.
"Madam, are you so stunned by Pianpian's stunning appearance that you can't help but stare at her for a few more seconds?"
When Queen Wei heard her son speak like that about her aunt, she glared at him unhappily.
After all, the wife of Duke Song is an elder, so we can't be too rude.
Lin Pianran raised her eyebrows and saluted respectfully with a hint of provocation, "Greetings, Madam Song."
Wei Ziqiong snorted coldly and turned away.
When Empress Wei saw her sister being so disrespectful to her daughter-in-law, she immediately rebuked her, "Madam, Duke Song, we are in the imperial palace now. You should understand the palace rules and etiquette, right?"
This sentence made the wife of Duke Weiguo feel a little embarrassed.
She was very reluctant and said perfunctorily, "County Master Yuhua, long time no see."
Lin Pianran responded politely.
Lady Song Guogong stretched out her hand and pushed the girl standing next to her towards Queen Wei.
He said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty should know that I lost a pair of children. Now I only have one eldest son who is frail and sickly, and is bedridden. According to the imperial physician's diagnosis, he will not live long..."
He was crying while speaking and looked very sad.
Lin Pianran watched her performance with amusement.
Princess Baoqing's death was not undeserved at all, and his second son Song Moshi, who was unlearned and trouble-making, also deserved to die.
Their deaths were all their own fault.
It was extremely unlucky for Empress Wei to have such a sister.
I hope Queen Wei can control her family members well.
Sometimes, relatives by marriage are the source of disaster for the country and must never be left alone.
If Queen Wei cannot restrain them, then she and Huo Yuchen will have to do it themselves. By then, there will be no room for easing the situation.
Lady Weiguo continued speaking while pretending to wipe away her tears.
"Not long ago, I chose Song Zilan from the Song family and adopted her as my own. I hope she can be a happy child and have someone to accompany her during her lonely and helpless old age, so that she can live a few more years happily..."
How can you accompany a girl after she gets married? This is pure nonsense.
If he tries so hard to play the victim, what he wants must be quite big.
Lin Pianran looked at the wife of Duke Weiguo coldly.
"This child has an extraordinary appearance, is well-behaved and sensible, and I like him very much."
"First, I want to ask the Empress to give her the title of County Lady, so that no one will look down on her and bully her in the future. Second, I want to ask the Empress to find her a good marriage."
When Lin Pianran heard the request of Duke Song's Mansion, she almost laughed out of anger.
How thick-skinned must one be to say such a thing!
As soon as he adopted a child, he asked the queen to confer the title of county lady on her.
It seems like it would be such a simple thing to be conferred the title of county lord.
A person without status and achievements wants to be conferred the title of county lady. That's simply wishful thinking!
Fortunately, Queen Wei is also a clear-headed person.
She said seriously, "What are you talking about, madam?"
"Why would a little girl be named a county lady? Do you really think it's that easy to be named a county lady?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Song felt something was wrong.
In the past, Queen Wei would always affectionately call her sister in private, but today she was very distant and directly called her Madam, which immediately distanced the relationship between the two of them and even had a sense of official business.
The wife of Duke Song still refused to give up and continued, "Your Highness is the Empress. It's only a matter of words to confer the title of County Lady on her. What's the difficulty?"
Queen Wei looked at the wife of Duke Song in front of her and felt more and more unfamiliar.
She couldn't help but say, "Even though I'm the Queen, I can't act recklessly, and I can't bend the law for personal gain. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Queen Wei glanced at Song Zilan and said perfunctorily, "If you meet a good match in the future, I will naturally be willing to help..."
Wei Ziqiong rolled his eyes twice and set his gaze on Huo Yuchen.
He smiled and said, "Before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in poor health, so naturally he couldn't get married. Now that he is well again, the marriage should naturally be put on the agenda."
"Since the Emperor has already chosen the Crown Princess for him, the candidates for other positions must also be decided as soon as possible so that the family can be expanded as soon as possible. This will put the Empress's worries to rest."
When Lin Pianran heard the wife of Duke Song mention this, her heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, when people saw that Huo Yuchen was in better health, they started to set their sights on him.
It seems that there will be no less admirers in the future, but in fact, the most important thing is Huo Yuchen's attitude.
Lin Pianran unconsciously turned her gaze to him.
Huo Yuchen was staring at her intently, and when she looked at him, he winked at her with a bit of mischief and flattery.
Lin Pianran felt relieved all of a sudden.
The Lady of the Duke of Song continued, "I think Zilan is a very good girl, both in appearance and temperament. She is one in a million. Let her be the Crown Prince's concubine!"
This is said as a matter of course.
After hearing this, Queen Wei became a little angry.
She didn't understand whether her sister came here today to deliberately cause trouble for Lin Pianran or to deliberately ruin her son's good marriage.
When he spoke, his tone became a little heavier.
"The Crown Prince's marriage has already been granted, but the Crown Princess hasn't entered the palace yet. Other options are not under consideration."
The rejection was direct and ruthless.
However, if most people saw that things had gotten to this point, they would naturally not dare to say anything more.
But Wei Ziqiong seemed not to understand and continued, "Your status as a concubine can be decided first. After the Crown Princess enters the palace, you can enter the Eastern Palace later."
Song Zilan had a shy look on her face, and she secretly looked up at Huo Yuchen several times.
Lin Pianran cursed inwardly, "Blue-faced men are the root of trouble."
Queen Wei was truly annoyed this time. She scolded, "Do you think you have the right to interfere in the Crown Prince's marriage? Do you even know your own status?"
"Besides, she's your adopted child. If you want to pamper her, take her home and dote on her. Don't come to the palace and talk nonsense."
"If Madam Song continues to talk nonsense and bring disaster upon herself, I will definitely handle it impartially and will not spare you even a shred of shame."
The wife of the Duke of Song was stunned by the scolding.
