"A couple of days ago, the Duke of Qin actually came personally to visit and discuss your engagement with your father. It's said that even the betrothal gifts have been prepared, and we're just waiting for the two parties to exchange engagement letters in the next few days."
"Your father and I are truly heartbroken. We had originally hoped to keep you at home for two more years. But seeing how handsome and talented the Prince of Qin is, and how beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and charming you are, we see you're such a perfect match made in heaven. How could we bear to separate them?"
"You know, you were determined to marry him in your lifetime. How could your father and I go against your wishes?"
"Mother...I have changed my mind now. I don't want to get engaged to Qin Huaian anymore."
Mrs. Jiang was surprised “…………Why?”
"Because Qin Huaian is not a reliable person. He is two-faced, and he is secretly flirting with other women. I have heard all these things." Jiang Meiyu pretended to be dissatisfied.
After learning about this, Mrs. Jiang caressed her daughter's face with heartache and comforted her softly, "Child, if this is true, then we can't have this marriage! You are the precious child that your father and I hold in our hands. How could we bear to let you suffer so much? Especially with such a terrible man."
"But what should I say to Daddy..." Jiang Meiyu asked worriedly. "Don't worry, Mom will persuade your dad. Tomorrow I'll have him go to the Duke of Qin's mansion and explain the reason!" Madam Jiang responded to her daughter's concerns with a resolute look on her face.
Jiang Meiyu carefully selected ten sets of ready-to-wear clothing in Langfang, each made from the finest silk, brocade, and gold velvet. These garments were vibrant and vibrant, with the red pomegranate skirt being the most eye-catching. Its hue was as vibrant as blood, yet still elegant and opulent, making her look even more charming and unconventional.
In addition, she also carefully selected four sets of pearl headpieces as accessories.
Just as Jiang Meiyu was about to return home contentedly, she suddenly came face to face with someone - it was the annoying green tea bitch Gu Xiangling!
Gu Xiangling quickly put away the jealous and vicious look in her eyes, replaced it with a fake friendly smile and said, "Yuyu, I was thinking of visiting you at the Prime Minister's residence!"
Then, she feigned an innocent and pitiful air and explained, "What happened that day was purely an accident. I really didn't mean to knock you over. I didn't know why I slipped, and you ended up falling into the lotus pond... I'm so sorry!"
However, how could Jiang Meiyu be easily fooled by her? She clearly caught the jealous and sinister look that flashed across Gu Xiangling's eyes.
Only someone as pure-minded and innocent as the original owner would easily believe this vicious woman in front of them! Jiang Meiyu appeared to be nonchalant: "It's okay, those unhappy things have become a thing of the past, don't take them to heart. After all, we are good sisters who are as close as brothers." But she secretly muttered in her heart: "Let you continue to pretend for now, sooner or later you will reveal your flaws. When that time comes, I will definitely teach you a lesson! We will see..."
At this moment, Gu Xiangling was filled with confusion and resentment. "It's only been a few days since I last saw her, and this bitch has become even more beautiful. I really want to tear her pretty face apart right now! Humph... When Brother Huai'an ascends the throne, I will be the legitimate queen. Then I will definitely kill you, bitch, and scratch your seductive vixen-like face. Let's see how you can still be so complacent..."
After entering the Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Meiyu went straight back to her own boudoir, lazily sprawled on her bed, and pondered, "Although I am beautiful, the Emperor's harem is filled with beauties, and competition is fierce. What can I do to win a place in His Majesty's heart? Not only must I conceive a dragon offspring, but I must also avenge the previous lord's shame." Jiang Meiyu had originally thought that bearing a child would be easy, but now she deeply realized how difficult it was! Even more worrying was that she knew nothing about Emperor Wu of Yan's appearance. What if he was unsightly? After all, she would have to raise children with such a man!
"Host, please rest assured. As far as I know, the emperor is the son of destiny of this small world. His handsome appearance is simply beyond words." The system quickly comforted.
"Hey 007, where have you been all this time?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across the system's face, and then it said, "But host, rest assured. If you encounter any difficulties, Xiaoqi will definitely help you with all his strength."
Hearing this, Jiang Meiyu felt a little relieved: "Well, with you by my side, I can really feel more at ease."
However, Jiang Meiyu still felt extremely headache at this time, and had no intention of communicating with the system, so she buried her head in sleep.
After a sound night's sleep, Jiang Meiyu had just woken up when she heard Qiu Ping mention that the Prime Minister had gone to the Duke of Qin's palace. It turned out that after arriving at the palace, Prime Minister Jiang first exchanged pleasantries with the Duke of Qin, and then discussed his daughter's marriage. Prime Minister Jiang said with a sad face, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry! My daughter has been frail and sickly since childhood, and unfortunately, she fell into the water a few days ago and caught a cold. As you know, Your Highness, I am already old, and it was with great difficulty that I was blessed with such a precious daughter. I really can't bear to have her marry off before she has fully recovered. So I plan to keep her at home to nurse her back to health."
Having said that, anyone with a little bit of common sense could see that it was clear that the Prime Minister was unwilling to marry into the royal family! After all, everyone knew this kind of thing, but they just didn't say it out loud.
At this moment, Qin Huaian had just returned to the palace when he learned that the Prime Minister had come to postpone the marriage. He couldn't help but feel confused and dissatisfied, thinking: "What's going on with this Prime Minister? Why did he suddenly regret his previous engagement? Is there some hidden reason?" With these questions, Qin Huaian decided to meet with the Prime Minister immediately to find out the truth.
"Uncle Jiang, Sister Yu'er has been ill recently, and I'm deeply worried. I've visited her several times, but each time I haven't been able to see her. I wonder if her condition has improved. I'll definitely come to visit her again tomorrow, hoping to see her recover with my own eyes. I hope Uncle Jiang can convey my concern for Sister Yu'er, and tell her to rest assured and not overwork herself. If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."
Prime Minister Jiang looked embarrassed, secretly thinking of his daughter's support, but it was difficult to directly reject the other party, so he responded tactfully: "The prince is so caring! My daughter was a little frightened this time, and her body really needs time to recuperate. I hope the prince will not worry too much. I believe that after resting well, she will recover soon." In his words, he expressed his gratitude for the prince's kindness and hinted that his daughter was not in good condition and needed a long time to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he also hoped that the prince would understand and give her some space and not disturb her too much. This answer not only saved face for both parties, but also allowed the matter to be properly handled.
