Inside the old house, Jue Luo took Qingya to a banquet hosted by her best friend. By chance, she overheard that Qingyan had been betrothed.
Many noblewomen came forward to flatter her, and Qingyan's status rose higher and higher. Regardless of her relationship with Qingyan, she was Qingyan's biological mother, and no one could lack this relationship.
"Xiaoya, did you not behave well yesterday?" After returning to the mansion, Jue Luo called Qingya over.
She inquired in detail about Qingya's behavior. She didn't believe that Yin would look down on someone he had carefully nurtured; Qingyan was the one who lacked manners. Under Fei Yanggu's laissez-faire approach, Qingyan had no chance of learning properly from the governess.
"Mother, will Father arrange for me to be married off?" Qingya was terrified of going to the grasslands, where she knew she would have no freedom at all.
Jue Luo Shi didn't want to hurt Qing Ya's feelings. If things went wrong, this time she might send Qing Ya to that unfamiliar grassland, or even the northern grassland.
News of Prince Garga's affair had spread throughout the capital. Originally, she had considered the Empress Dowager's methods and figured she could surely make the prince's wish come true. Between Qingyan and Qingya, she preferred the former to go for the marriage alliance.
"Qingya, your mother will give your father a proper dressing-up. How proper can Qingyan's behavior be?" Jue Luo smiled coldly, her heart filled with surprise. Jue Luo didn't care about her own daughter, but instead came to her aid.
"Mother, you have a bad reputation because of me. Many people outside say that you are harsh on my sister..." Qingya felt that the relationship between the group was more about feelings.
She and the Jue Luo clan were like mother and daughter; from a young age, she received more care and attention from the Jue Luo clan than from Qingya.
Fei Yanggu stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter. He secretly made up his mind that he must ensure Qingyan's wedding went smoothly, and as His Majesty had said, he must minimize the harm.
"Don't worry, even if it can't be changed, your mother will prepare a dowry for you. Once you get there, you will definitely not be without support." Everyone knows that Eshuo and Saito are desperately climbing the social ladder for Qingyan, but Feiyanggu and his two sons prefer the legitimate daughter.
They basically ignored the illegitimate daughters of the old family.
Footsteps came from outside the door. As soon as Jue Luo heard them, she knew whether it was Fei Yanggu or not. That guy must have been eavesdropping again.
Back when they were deeply in love, he often overheard her talking to E'shuo.
"Master, why did you come back from outside today?" Jue Luo Shi stood up, looking at Fei Yang Gu in front of her, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart.
How long has it been since the couple looked at each other like this?
"Fujin, how do you intend to persuade me?" Fei Yanggu and the Jueluo clan were somewhat stubborn. The Qingyan incident was merely a trigger; the real key issue was that she allowed the Jueluo clan to indulge in Qingyan's desires for freedom.
She politely greeted Fei Yanggu and then left. She certainly couldn't say much to Fei Yanggu; all matters should be discussed between Fei Yanggu and the Jue Luo clan.
“Master, Qingya is older than Qingyan and is going to a place like that. Do you think it would be possible to have one of our daughters marry in Qingya’s place?” Jue Luo Shi knew that Fei Yanggu’s status meant he would definitely send one of his daughters to marry into the country. Therefore, it would be best if this daughter were one of the less noticed concubine’s daughters.
Fei Yanggu shook his head. Several years ago, they had already chosen the candidate. Otherwise, Qingya would not have been subjected to such harsh training by the governess.
Jue Luo Shi had long understood that Fei Yang Gu would not achieve unification; she simply hoped to have something to say in front of Qing Ya.
She pleaded for mercy, but neither the royal family nor Feiyangu agreed, so they decided to leave her alone.
"Madam, don't you want to see Qingyan's grand wedding?" Fei Yanggu took a sip of tea and looked at her.
Today, Emperor Kangxi said in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that he would prepare a grand wedding for the two of them. This favor is definitely greater than any other.
The banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and apart from the late Emperor and His Majesty, Yinzhi was the third person present.
Originally, the Crown Prince was older than Yinzhen, but Emperor Kangxi kept saying that the Crown Princess was still too young and that the Crown Prince's wedding should be postponed.
The courtiers below had already begun to whisper among themselves, wondering if the Crown Prince had once again fallen out of favor with Emperor Kangxi. Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince be put in such a difficult position?
Jue Luo looked at Fei Yanggu with confusion. Had she missed some important information?
"His Majesty is preparing to hold the wedding ceremony for Yin and Qing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!" Fei Yanggu said in a low voice.
Immediately, Lady Jue Luo exclaimed in surprise, for this imperial decree was definitely meant to imprison the Crown Prince.
"Really?!" Jue Luo smiled with delight.
She had long anticipated that Qingyan would hold a high position. The honor and disgrace of both the Jueluo and Ulanara clans rested on Qingyan's shoulders, and she absolutely could not allow him to cause trouble.
Fei Yanggu nodded. This time, he was going to persuade Jue Luo Shi to stop worrying about her family and focus on preparing Qingyan's marriage. He believed that Yin would remember her kindness afterward.
"This is wonderful. Qingyan will always be the highest-ranking person. My judgment is absolutely correct. My brothers and sisters also want to curry favor with Qingyan." Jue Luo Shi didn't gain any benefits. Ege was deeply resented by Yin, and he would never give her any more advantages.
Fei Yanggu sat to the side, looking at the no-longer-young Fujin. If she could ease the tension with Qingyan, she would probably be able to live a more comfortable life.
“Fujin, don’t think about your maternal family anymore. What have they brought to Qingyan?” Feiyanggu looked at Jueluo Shi.
Only shame!
He didn't say those four words out loud. This time, he was really annoyed. Qingyan had always been very well-behaved, growing up according to Yin's model. But now, he found that not only had the little darling's abilities improved a lot, but her ability to respond to unexpected events had also improved a lot.
Looking at Fei Yanggu, Jue Luo felt a pang of guilt.
"You've already given away the thousand-machine tool, but the Fourth Prince has already asked for back the betrothal gifts the royal family gave to Qingyan. Next time your sister-in-law comes to ask for things, don't bother agreeing." Fei Yanggu felt very disgusted with Luo's sister-in-law; that person only cared about profit.
When the expedition began, none of the Jue Luo clan members came to visit the mansion, as if they were afraid that Fei Yanggu would be defeated.
After a resounding victory, they pounce on you like a bear finding honey. It's best to avoid such relatives.
"I couldn't refuse!" Jue Luo was also very concerned about Qingyan. Otherwise, she would never have been angry when Jue Luo used Qingyan's jade pendant, and she would have even had the nanny beside her beaten to death.
Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi directly ordered the Dali Temple to investigate, and the imposters were caught on the spot, thus ending this catastrophe.
Fei Yanggu sighed and slowly analyzed the affairs of the previous dynasty with Jue Luo Shi, emphasizing that the interests of the backyard and the previous dynasty were always closely intertwined.
Jue Luo listened attentively; her family's actions had tarnished Qing Yan's reputation. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
