Yan Bao didn't want to see Wu Mingyue's bad mouth, so he said to the Queen: "I will go and talk to the Crown Prince, so as not to disturb the Queen's rest."
The queen nodded with a smile: "Go, this time, it is the Wu family who has let you down."
Yan Bao nodded confidently: "I won't let her off so easily next time."
Wu Mingyue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the unwillingness in her eyes. She clenched her fists under her sleeves, trying to control her anger. Is it a big deal to be favored by the emperor?
Just wait and see, sooner or later, you will regret it.
The queen smiled awkwardly and watched Yan Bao leave.
After Yan Bao left, the Queen no longer wanted to pretend. She looked at Wu Mingyue as if she were trash. "Go back and get some rest. I've already sent a message to your mother, asking them to find a husband far away for you. Marry you off early and don't bring trouble to the Wu family."
Wu Mingyue couldn't accept it: "Aunt, I won't marry."
"You have no choice. You have done such a thing, causing the Wu family to be scolded by the emperor and me to be disdained by the emperor. How dare you stay in the capital?" The queen said coldly: "I didn't send you to be a nun because you are a member of the Wu family."
Wu Mingyue knelt before the Queen and begged: "Please, Aunt, don't marry me off. I am willing to enter the palace."
"How dare you enter the palace? The prince doesn't like you at all. You've seen that girl Yan Bao, she can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, let alone you. You can forget about entering the Eastern Palace." The queen rejected it outright.
Wu Mingyue wanted to explain that she did not enter the Eastern Palace. She understood from the Crown Prince's attitude that it was not possible to get through to the Crown Prince. She was thinking about the old emperor. As long as she could get pregnant before the old emperor passed away, she could get pregnant with a prince and rely on the emperor's favor. Couldn't she drag that mute into the water?
Seeing that the Queen looked unhappy, Wu Mingyue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She knew that if she told her aunt that she wanted to enter the palace to serve the old emperor, her aunt would probably not agree, fearing that it would affect her status in the harem.
When Wu Mingyue thought about how the Queen forced her to apologize to the mute and didn't say a word even after her mouth was broken, she hated her aunt.
She knew that no matter how high someone else's status was, it was not as high as hers.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
After realizing this, Wu Mingyue knew what to do.
The Queen looked at the figure who left without looking back and rubbed her brows: "Does Mingyue bear a grudge against me?"
The nanny said, "Don't worry, Queen. Even if she holds a grudge, so what? If she hadn't been so delusional, Your Highness wouldn't have been scolded by the Emperor. You are the Queen, the most noble woman in Dajin."
The queen smiled bitterly: "I can become the queen, not the prince, but Yan Bao. It's a pity that the Wu family doesn't understand this truth and actually went to find trouble with Yan Bao. I don't know what Mingyue is thinking."
"I thought the Crown Prince ignored her a few years ago, so he should have learned his lesson. Who knew she would become more cunning after growing up, and even bring trouble to me." The Queen said, "It's better to marry someone like her off early."
The nanny agreed: "The farther away the better, so as not to cause trouble for the queen."
The queen nodded, and when Mrs. Wu entered the palace, she specifically mentioned that it would be best if she married someone far away and never returned to the capital, as a way of repaying the Wu family for raising her.
Even though Mrs. Wu was unwilling, she still chose to sacrifice Wu Mingyue for the sake of her son.
Compared to her son, Wu Mingyue is nothing. What she did this time made the Wu family a laughing stock in Jingchen. It’s good enough that she can be kept alive.
Mrs. Wu never expected that she would give birth to such a whimsical daughter.
Wu Mingyue learned that she was really going to be married off far away. She had witnessed the prosperity of the capital since she was a child, and she would rather die than marry a powerless and disliked man.
No, she had a better choice than death.
After her mouth healed, Wu Mingyue stopped crying and making a fuss. She agreed to everything Mrs. Wu said, looking resigned to her fate. Her only request was that she wanted to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival this year.
During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor held a large-scale dragon boat race to have fun with the people.
At that time, the emperor, empress, and Xie Zhiluo will all show up.
Yan Bao would definitely not miss it. She also told Xu Zhimo to keep an eye on Tian Tian: [Don't let her run around and push someone into the river, causing them to almost drown or become ill, or forcing someone to blackmail her into a marriage.]
[She said that her son was so weak that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find a wife, so she wanted Tiantian to marry him.]
Yan Bao was muttering in his heart. When Brother Shen heard it, his face turned green. He was so angry that he almost forced Yan Bao to tell him who was so shameless that he dared to morally blackmail my daughter?
Shen Shoufu's face was not looking good either. Yan Bao, who do you say it is? Dad will make things difficult for him later.
Mrs. Shen subconsciously pulled Tiantian and said, "My dear granddaughter, you are in great trouble. Follow your grandmother today and don't let this scoundrel blackmail you."
Only Xu Zhimo, who could not hear her own thoughts, felt that Yan Bao's reminder was right. She should be careful when there are many people around. She warned her three children that if anyone ran around, she would not take him out next time.
Tiantian: “…”
Mom, I really want to run away, but you don’t see how closely grandma is watching me.
When they arrived at the river, Yan Bao and her companions occupied the best seats in the stands. After the emperor appeared, he called Yan Bao over. She and the prince accompanied the emperor on his left and right. The emperor was in a good mood and made a bet with Yan Bao on who would win.
Yan Bao smiled and said, "I think it's number seven."
"I think it's number two." After saying that, the emperor looked at Xie Zhiluo and said, "You are not allowed to choose the same one as Yan Bao."
Xie Zhiluo: “…”
Under the emperor's supervision, Xie Zhiluo chose number one.
Yan Bao was not comparing them for nothing. She glanced at the women of the Wu family not far away and saw the gorgeously dressed Wu Mingyue, who was staring at them. When she saw her looking at her, she looked away guiltily.
