"Rest assured, I will hand it over to Father Emperor when I return, and let him decide," Meng Hanyue said earnestly. "What you don’t know is that the Sixth Imperial Uncle was once calculated against by villains, and poisoned so profoundly that it seemed he would succumb. Fortunately, Brother Jingqi returned in time and immediately administered a pill, buying precious time, and eventually the imperial physicians managed to cure the poison within the Sixth Imperial Uncle."
"When we found out that life-saving pill was the ’Revival Pill’ you had given, Father Emperor and the Sixth Imperial Uncle couldn’t stop marveling at you being the lucky star."
"If it weren’t for the Sixth Aunt being pregnant, the Sixth Imperial Uncle would definitely have come in person, saying he wanted to take you as his adopted daughter."
"It’s just a pity that Brother Jingqi took the step ahead and recognized you as his adopted sister, and Father Emperor immediately issued a decree to announce to the court and the public, naming you Princess Yong’an. Because of this, the Sixth Imperial Uncle and Father Emperor had a heated argument, demanding that Father Emperor transfer your adoption to his name, and they nearly came to blows."
"The Sixth Imperial Uncle has always held Father Emperor in high regard, and that was the first time he argued non-stop with Father Emperor. The two of them, like children, fought over wanting to recognize you as their adopted daughter, which was both amusing and sad to watch."
"In the end, unable to change the facts, the Sixth Imperial Uncle declared he recognized you as an adopted daughter, not an adopted niece, while grumbling and complaining against Father Emperor and Prince Chen, he earnestly prepared your dowry. We couldn’t carry it all, so we had to painfully select and reselect, preparing six large boxes of dowry. The rest was stored in the warehouse of Mengchen Pavilion, arranged just for you, and not to be touched by anyone."
"When we return, Father Emperor will certainly be smug, and the Sixth Imperial Uncle will definitely be beating his chest in regret, and will go to make a scene with Father Emperor again, hahaha."
Looking at Meng Hanyue laughing so hard that she was trembling like a branch, Yang Mengchen was at a loss for words. However, she was deeply moved and warmed by the affection from the two elders she had never met before, and decided to prepare a generous gift for them to express her filial respect.
"These pill bottles contain Antidote Pills; remember to carry them with you at all times, and be extra vigilant during tomorrow’s banquet," Yang Mengchen pointed out, indicating one of the pill bottles.
Her wedding to Wende was not only attended by Brother Jingqi’s three people, but also by princes and princesses from the other three countries. Father Emperor arranged a feast for the foreign dignitaries tomorrow evening.
Upon hearing this, Meng Hanyue’s expression turned sharp, and a trace of sarcasm and chill flashed in her eyes. "Rest assured, we know what to do! As for you, royal family disputes have always been the most bloody and cruel, especially with so many people coveting and scheming against your husband-to-be. You must be extra careful!"
Nobody should mistake their kind and gentle nature for weakness; if anyone dared to cross their bottom line, they would let them know what it means to wish for death.
The one they truly worried about was the ninth sister; after all, Anqing Country was too far from Dong Chu. It seemed necessary to speak with Brother Jingqi about sending people to secretly protect the ninth sister.
"I will," Yang Mengchen had resolved to face whatever storms came her way from the moment she chose Wende.
Suddenly, Sister Jin’s voice came from outside: "Princess, the Crown Prince has arrived."
"Please let Brother Jingqi in," Yang Mengchen and Meng Hanyue stood up, and when Meng Jingqi entered, Yang Mengchen saw that he was slightly tipsy, so she raised her voice to instruct, "Hai Tang, bring the sobering soup."
After sitting down at the table, Meng Jingqi smiled and waved his hand to indicate he wasn’t drunk, but he was pleased by the ninth sister’s concern for him.
Soon, Hai Tang brought the sobering soup, and after Meng Jingqi finished it, she left the room.
"Brother-in-law has an excellent capacity for liquor; none of us can outdrink him. The party over there should be ending soon," Meng Jingqi understood Yang Mengchen’s concerns.
Yang Mengchen’s cheeks flushed with a faint redness; she was indeed a bit worried about Wende, and hadn’t expected Brother Jingqi to speak it out loud.
Taking out a brocade box, Meng Jingqi said softly, "This is the Gold Imperial Decree and Seal that Father Emperor bestowed upon you. From now on, if anyone dares to disrespect you, it would be a contempt for the dignity of the Qing’an Royal Family and neither Qing’an Country’s high nor low will let it slide!"
