When the carriage arrived at the palace, Yun Qingran got off immediately, as she was not familiar with Jun Molin at all.
"Your Majesty, I have already dispatched men to conduct a full search." The commander of the Imperial Guards entered, dressed in armor, and knelt on one knee.
"Attempting to assassinate me at Wanjiang Garden is a slap in the face to my Northern Yin. If you fail to catch the assassin, you will bring me your head." The Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his gaze fixed on Wang Feng.
"Yes." Wang Feng's back bent under the invisible pressure of the emperor's might, and he replied respectfully.
After Wang Feng left, the Emperor looked at Yun Qingran with a smile, "Yun Qingran, you have rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor today. What reward do you want, such as a marriage decree?"
At this moment, a handsome young man in the crowd had a slight change in expression, and his colleagues around him smiled meaningfully at him.
The young man's name is Jiang Yunqi. He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an. He was the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination last year and is now the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Yun Qingran likes Jiang Yunqi; this is common knowledge throughout the capital.
"This humble woman wishes to visit the Imperial Medical Academy's library to look at medical books," Yun Qingran said.
Medical skills are her foundation in this world, and she cannot afford to neglect them; moreover, she genuinely loves medicine.
"I grant it." The Emperor hadn't expected Yun Qingran to want this as a reward, and he secretly resented her for being so dense.
When Jiang Yunqi heard that Yun Qingran's desired reward was not a marriage between her and him granted by the Emperor, he breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he felt a dull ache in his heart, as if he were somewhat disappointed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Qingran happily expressed her gratitude.
"You ministers and your families have been frightened today. Go back and rest early." The Emperor raised his hand and waved, indicating that everyone could leave.
"Meeting adjourned! Meeting adjourned!" Just as Yun Qingran was happily preparing to go home, the Emperor called out to her, "Yun Qingran, you stay."
Yun Qingran: ?
"Yes, Your Majesty," Yun Qingran replied listlessly.
After the civil and military officials left, the Emperor rubbed his hands together and asked Yun Qingran, "Yun Qingran, do you like children?"
"Hmm...it depends on what kind it is?" Yun Qingran didn't know why the Emperor would ask such a strange question.
"Then, would you like children like An'an and Yan'an?" the Emperor asked tentatively, his gaze fixed intently on her answer.
"The young princess and the young prince are well-behaved and sensible, and I like them very much." Oh, so you wanted to ask about Jun An'an and Jun Yan Yan.
After Yun Qingran finished speaking, she added, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best to cure the young princess and the young prince."
"Very good, very good." The Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
As long as Yun Qingran likes Yan Yan and An An, she shouldn't reject these two stepchildren.
Yun Qingran looked at the Emperor's expression, completely baffled. Why was the Emperor behaving so strangely?
Yun Qingran didn't understand, but Jun Molin did. His father wanted Yun Qingran to marry him.
"Alright, you may all leave." The Emperor was in a good mood. "Lin'er, take Yun Qingran back."
"yes."
Yun Qingran and Jun Molin emerged from the Wolong Palace, walking side by side. The setting sun cast golden rays upon them, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty, like a painting.
Yun Qingran originally wanted to ask Emperor Jun Molin what he meant, but after what happened in the carriage, she didn't want to talk to him. She was worried that her face would turn red if she spoke to him, and he would definitely laugh at her secretly.
"Do you know what the Emperor meant by those strange questions he just asked you?" Jun Molin seemed to have heard her thoughts and asked her proactively.
"I don't know." Yun Qingran shook her head.
"His Majesty wishes to bestow your hand in marriage upon me." Jun Molin stopped and turned to look at her.
ah!
Asking her if she likes children is a lie; what she really wants is for her to become a mother!
The Emperor has once again repaid kindness with enmity! ?(ˉ?ˉ?)
Seeing Yun Qingran's stunned expression, Jun Molin said, "Let's go!"
Yun Qingran's mind was a complete mess, and she followed him in a daze.
"Sun Liang, do you think Yun Qingran and Lin'er are a good match?" After everyone left, the Emperor asked Sun Liang in a pleasant mood.
"Miss Yun is exceptionally beautiful, and His Highness the Prince of Beihan is incomparably handsome. The two are a match made in heaven in terms of appearance," Sun Liang praised with a smile.
"I think so too." The Emperor smiled even more broadly.
Sun Liang then added, "However, Your Majesty, Miss Yun has a bad reputation; she's known as the most wicked woman in the capital. Will it affect His Highness the Prince of Beihan's reputation if he marries her?"
"Everyone says that Yunxiao's daughter is a good-for-nothing, arrogant and domineering good-for-nothing. But after the performance at the palace banquet and my encounter with the assassin today, I find her to be more interesting than the average noble lady. She has a good personality and is also very talented." The Emperor was very satisfied with Yun Qingran.
“This servant also thinks that Miss Yun is very cute now, and her personality is very likable.” Sun Liang nodded.
"I hope Lin'er can prove herself," the Emperor sighed softly.
Jun Molin escorted Yun Qingran to the gate of the Zhen'an Marquis's residence, then turned his horse around and returned to the Beihan Prince's residence.
"Ranran, are you alright?" Yunxiao and Yun Qingbi were waiting at the door. When they saw Yun Qingran return, they quickly went to greet her.
"It's nothing." Yun Qingran lowered her head after speaking. "Father, I'm sorry. The reason I appeared at Wanjiang Garden today is because I need hot spring water to detoxify. I disturbed the spirits of the soldiers. I'm sorry."
“Healing the sick and saving lives is a noble thing, and the soldiers who will sacrifice their lives for the country will certainly not blame you. But you shouldn’t have kept it from me and your older brother. Do you know how worried we’ve been about you these past two days?” Yunxiao looked at Yun Qingran with tears in her eyes.
If anything were to happen to his daughter, he would not live on and would go to Shufen to beg for forgiveness.
"I understand, Father. I won't do it again." Yun Qingran nodded, secretly pleased. Her father didn't blame her; she had escaped another disaster.
"By the way, Father and Brother, I need your help with something." Yun Qingran looked intently at Yun Xiao and Yun Qingbi.
"Ranran, just tell us if you need any help." Yunxiao had always been accommodating to her daughter's every request, and now she's even more accommodating, doing whatever she asks.
"I would like to ask you to introduce me to a few eligible young men. I'm thinking of getting married," Yun Qingran said, glancing at Yun Xiao and then at Yun Qingbi.
The expressions on the faces of both father and son were so wide open that they could fit a steamed bun inside.
"Ranran, why did you suddenly decide to get married?" Yunxiao's heart was already filled with tears.
Waaaaah... Shufen, our daughter wants to get married, and soon our little darling will belong to someone else.
"Men should marry when they're old enough, and women should marry when they're old enough. Our daughter is about the right age too," Yun Qingran said, touching the tip of her nose.
The ghosts, being of marriageable age, simply didn't want to marry Jun Molin.
"I suspect you're implying something to me!" Yun Qingbi said quietly from the side. He was the eldest brother, and if that was the case, he should get married even more.
"Put away your doubts. I'm just implying to you, brother, is it because no one is pursuing you? You're so old and still no one wants you." Yun Qingran looked at Yun Qingbi with disdain.
