After a cup of tea, Princess Qingping walked in wearing a light green dress.
The hem of her skirt sways gently, like the blue waves in spring.
"Your Majesty, your servant, greets you."
Princess Qingping bowed slightly.
"Get up."
Jun Zechen waved his hand and his eyes fell on the Princess of Qingping County.
"I have come here today to express my gratitude to Your Majesty and the Empress for granting me this marriage."
The Princess of Qingping County stood up with a gentle smile on her face. The smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Originally, I should have come to visit my aunt when I returned to the capital, but she went to the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings."
There was a hint of regret in the eyes of Princess Qingping.
"Your Majesty is my only relative in the capital. I've come here today. Could I have a chat with you?"
Princess Qingping raised her head, her eyes filled with cautious expectation, as if covered with a layer of mist, which made people feel pity.
Jun Zechen nodded slightly, his expression cold but dignified.
He ordered: "Anshun, please take a seat and serve tea."
After sitting down, Princess Qingping pursed her lips slightly.
She spoke slowly and gracefully, her voice soft and gentle.
"I am a humble servant and was once bullied by the princesses and princes in the palace. They always mocked me, and I could only endure it silently. Thanks to Your Majesty..."
"Later, I worked hard to learn the music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, just to gain the Queen Mother's approval..."
Her expression was sometimes sad, sometimes determined.
She talked a lot with Jun Zechen, with barely perceptible tears in her eyes, as if she hoped to make Jun Zechen recall every little detail of their past.
Jun Zechen's mind was completely on the memorial on the table, his eyes focused.
He would only respond perfunctorily to the Princess of Qingping from time to time, but his mind was still thinking about the affairs of Lingyu and Yuelin, and calculating the impact of the situation between the two countries on his country.
Princess Qingping took a sip of tea to moisten her dry throat.
She looked at Jun Zechen's face, which was as calm as water and showed no emotion.
She spoke softly, "Your Majesty, we are the only two in the palace right now. I have some questions in my mind and would like to ask Your Majesty in person. If I have offended you, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at the expression of the man on the dragon throne.
Jun Zechen responded casually, his voice low and short, "Yeah."
"Your Majesty once told me that you promised Miss Ling a lifetime oath that you would never take a concubine."
"I am still young. Although I have some admiration for Your Majesty, I do not want to hinder your marriage with Miss Ling."
"But why is His Majesty's queen no longer Miss Ling?"
The voice of the Princess of Qingping County trembled slightly, and there was a trace of loss on her face that was hard to conceal.
He clutched the handkerchief in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Then what was her concession back then? !
Hearing this, Jun Zechen suddenly came back to his senses.
His heart instantly rose to his throat, skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned ugly.
He resisted the urge to turn around and look inside.
When Jun Zechen rejected Qi Wanyin, he vowed to say many affectionate words such as that he would never let Ling Yue down in this life.
His words were sincere and resolute, which completely dispelled Qi Wanyin's original idea of marrying him.
So every time Yaoyao mentioned Qi Wanyin, Jun Zechen felt very uncomfortable.
She was already skeptical about his oath, so Jun Zechen naturally didn't want to mention Ling Yue in front of her again, let alone the vows he had made to Ling Yue.
If Yaoyao goes to great lengths to get to the bottom of it, Jun Zechen will be wrong whether he says it or not.
So every time I just glossed over it.
But no matter how cautious he was, he didn't expect Qi Wanyin to say this to him today.
I hope Yaoyao didn’t hear it.
Jun Zechen coughed lightly, trying to hide his panic, and interrupted directly.
"Well, what happened is over."
Jun Zechen frowned, his face full of impatience.
There was disgust in his eyes, and he didn't want to mention Ling Yue at all.
The face of the Princess of Qingping County was obviously stunned for a moment, and her expression seemed to be frozen.
I didn't expect that His Majesty now hates Miss Ling so much that he can't even mention her?
Jun Zechen hurriedly changed the subject.
"I promised you that if you returned to your kingdom, I would allow you to marry freely. Now that you and Minister Su are in love, it is a beautiful thing."
So many things have happened over the years, but those words were indeed said by Jun Zechen.
Now that he has broken up with Ling Yue, isn't Qi Wanyin offending the emperor's dignity by asking this?
Because of her uncle, Jun Zechen always treated her as his sister and never despised her background.
The Qi family did not recognize Qi Wanyin as their granddaughter, and he and the Queen Mother did not need Qi Wanyin to marry. The freedom of marriage fulfilled her innocent wish.
Su Jingyao, who had listened to every word, suddenly understood.
No wonder Jun Zechen always feels so uncomfortable whenever Qi Wanyin is mentioned.
But Su Jingyao really didn’t think that Jun Zechen liked her, otherwise why would Qi Wanyin stay in Canglang for six whole years?
It turns out it was because of Ling Yue, haha.
No wonder Jun Zechen praised Qi Wanyin for being able to let go.
He decisively abandoned his youthful love and went to the unfamiliar Canglang alone.
It really takes great courage.
Although Princess Qingping has a high status in both countries, she can never hold her head up in front of the real powerful people.
For example, Su Jingyao's mother, Mrs. Rongguo, although she said that she didn't mind the identity of the Princess of Qingping County.
