Finally, she wasn't the only one who lost face with the Regent.
After a moment of joy, Wei Yinshuang became somewhat uneasy.
She is, after all, a princess of Beili, and her status is no lower than mine. What if the regent agrees to it later?
Wei Yingshuang became increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, so she went directly to the Duke of Dingguo, grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Father, you have to help your daughter. If the Regent marries the Princess of Beili, I don't want to live anymore, Father."
The Duke of Dingguo doted on his youngest daughter and hurriedly comforted her, "Alright, Shuang'er, stop shaking me. It's making me dizzy. Don't worry, even if the Regent agrees, your aunt would never allow him to marry Princess Yaolan."
Wei Yingshuang stopped what she was doing, somewhat puzzled: "Why? Didn't they say that Princess Yaolan could choose any husband she wanted?"
A princess of one country paired with a regent—their status is quite plausible.
The Duke of Dingguo smiled and said, "Marrying Princess Yaolan is equivalent to gaining the power of the Northern Li Kingdom behind her. Do you think your aunt will give the Regent another ally?"
Wei Yingshuang understood and breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Father, can the Regent listen to Aunt?"
If that were the case, why would my aunt be afraid of Xiao Yanchu, and why would she go to such lengths to put her into the Regent's Palace?
"What if Princess Yaolan doesn't choose another man? How can she arrange a marriage?"
The Duke of Dingguo smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, your aunt, the Empress Dowager, will have a solution. Princess Yaolan will definitely stay in the Great Chu, but she won't marry the Regent. Just wait and see."
Yaohua Palace.
Ayao reports: "Princess, Prince Femoron requests an audience."
Yao Lan was stunned for a moment: "This idiot hasn't returned to Bei Li yet?"
Ever since her cousin heard that she had taken a liking to Xiao Yanchu and had taken the initiative to come to Da Chu for a marriage alliance, and after failing to stop her, he shouted that he would kill Xiao Yanchu and left Bei Li.
The king didn't bother with him and let him play outside. He would naturally return to Beili when he had enough.
Unexpectedly, he was still in the Great Chu.
Yao Lan had a bit of a headache, but she still nodded: "Let him in."
He's still my cousin, after all. It's not good to make a scene in a foreign country.
"Lan'er, I miss you so much." Fei Molong's voice came through before he even arrived.
"Feimolong, don't blame me for not warning you, this is Great Chu, not Northern Li. If you keep shouting, you can forget about ever seeing me again," Yao Lan shouted sternly.
Fei Molong chuckled, looking completely unconcerned, and sat down casually: "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think we, Bei Li, are afraid of Da Chu? At worst, I'll go back and lead my troops to fight Da Chu. What's the harm in that?"
"Hit? Fei Moron, you've forgotten the pain once the wound heals, forgotten how Xiao Yanchu beat you to a pulp, almost losing an ear in the process." Yao Lan looked at Fei Moron with sarcasm.
At the mention of this, Fei Molong became angry: "Xiao Yanchu is a treacherous villain who hides behind people's backs and shoots arrows. What kind of hero is he! Lan'er, you come back to Bei Li with me now and become my queen. I will make you the happiest woman on the grassland."
"Feimolong, I, Yaolan, will only marry a hero. You can talk after you've defeated Xiao Yanchu. The spies in the capital have sent back news that your previous ambush of Xiao Yanchu failed."
Fei Molong cursed, "You can't blame me that time. I almost succeeded. Xiao Yanchu is really lucky. He survived even with a poisoned arrow. If I find out who saved him, I'll kill that person first. How dare they ruin my plans."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Let me tell you, don't ruin my plans. I'm going to marry Xiao Yanchu. If you dare lay a hand on him again, I won't let you off the hook!" Yao Lan glared coldly at Fei Molong.
When Feimolong met Yaolan's eyes, a chill ran down his spine.
His cousin looked very delicate, but Femoron had witnessed her methods firsthand; she was a woman of her word.
Fei Molong touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Lan'er, I stayed here because I was worried about you and afraid you would be bullied in Da Chu. I want to protect you."
At this moment, a maid from Bei Li walked in and said something to Aya. Aya waved her hand and told her to leave.
Aya walked up to Yaolan and whispered, "Princess, the Regent wore a sachet embroidered by a woman for him today."
"Oh~" Yao Lan twirled the tassels hanging from her veil with her fingers and chuckled softly: "Someone actually dares to steal my man."
