His words made Jiang Ranli raise her eyebrows slightly, then she looked up at him.
"Fourth Master, you must be here to see the Emperor about something. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli turned and left without giving Yinzhen any chance to speak.
As time went on, Jiang Ranli became more and more wary of Yinzhen, fearing that she might say something that displeased him and annoyed him, thus indirectly harming Yinzhen. Especially now that she was in a bad mood, she was even more worried about what she might say, so she had to avoid Yinzhen.
She also remembered that on the grassland, Yinzhen and Nian said together that she had brought shame to Yin'er, so she walked faster. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but argue with Yinzhen and thus annoy him.
Jiang Ranli felt very depressed. These days, he was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and was bound by various etiquette and rules that were as heavy as Mount Tai. It was really not a life for a human being.
Just as he was complaining in his mind, he heard footsteps behind him, and the next second, Yinzhen's unique indifferent voice reached his ears.
"stop".
Jiang Ranli pretended not to hear and instead of stopping, she walked even faster. However, Yinzhen was even faster than her and came right in front of her, blocking her way.
Things had developed to this point, and Jiang Ranli certainly could not continue to pretend not to hear or see, so she stopped pretending to be surprised and looked at Yinzhen.
"It's you, Fourth Master. Didn't you come to see the Emperor for something? Why are you stopping me? What's the matter?"
Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat as he watched her somewhat exaggerated acting, but he didn't expose her.
"My Lord heard that Naren Gege came to see you. Is there anything wrong?" Yinzhen's expression was cold and his voice was flat, showing no emotion at all.
However, Jiang Ranli's emotions fluctuated greatly after hearing Naren's name. What she least wanted to hear now was anything related to the marriage.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ranli tried to pull the corners of his lips to make himself look better, and then replied, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Master. I'm fine, nothing happened."
Yinzhen looked at her for a while, and in order not to feel guilty, she raised her eyes and looked at him. In the end, he was the first to give in.
"These grassland tribes are the most trustworthy allies of our Qing Dynasty. In the past few years, the Qing Dynasty has had no in-laws with them. This time, the emperor will definitely agree to this matter. You... better be mentally prepared," said Yinzhen.
Mentally prepared?
I really need to be mentally prepared.
Jiang Ranli raised her eyes and looked away, her mind full of thoughts. She knew that this marriage was inevitable, but she was really sad.
"Fourth Master, will the Emperor grant you a concubine, a concubine of one's wife, or a princess?" Jiang Ranli asked. She was curious about why Yinzhen was so calm.
Yinzhen stared at her and nodded slightly after a while.
Seeing him nod, Jiang Ranli pursed her red lips into a straight line.
"This matter is not up to me. Everything depends on the Emperor's wishes," Yinzhen said, as if to comfort Jiang Ranli.
Jiang Ranli didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say, congratulations or condolences. Not being able to decide your own marriage was actually a very sad thing, and having to spend your whole life with someone you had no feelings for.
She was lucky to have met Yinzhen, but she had to watch helplessly as various women continued to surround Yinzhen.
