"Strange, what's she doing here?" Yanran asked, resting her chin on her hand in confusion. "By the way, is she pretty?"
Cui Xiaoqiu: "Shang Ke."
The Queen of Goryeo should be twenty-seven years old this year. She is a mature woman with a beautiful appearance and a captivating charm in every gesture.
After pestering Cui Xiaoqiu to describe it, Yanran suddenly realized, "No wonder she said she had so many male lovers."
"That's actually related to the power she wields," Cui Xiaoqiu said calmly.
How beautiful can one be if it's just physical appearance?
"Then what is she doing here?"
"There's definitely an ulterior motive. I suspect she wants to meet with the Prince privately to negotiate, offer some benefits, and get what she wants in return."
Yanran: This involves her blind spot.
It's too complicated.
"For example," Cui Xiaoqiu explained carefully, "The emperor of Goryeo was obsessed with women and was said to have been ill for some time. Do you think he wanted to seek out a renowned doctor? Goryeo didn't have one, but did the Central Plains have one?"
"Help her man seek medical treatment?"
Is this a case of true friendship revealed in times of trouble?
These two usually do their own thing, but they actually teamed up when it mattered?
This was truly an unbelievable relationship; Yanran felt that her little brain was utterly incapable of understanding it.
Cui Xiaoqiu said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Of course not, it's because I'm afraid he'll end up seeking out a famous doctor."
I really wish he were dead.
Yanran clicked her tongue and sighed, "I was too narrow-minded. She just wants to support her own son to ascend the throne!"
"She had no sons, only a daughter, and many people suspected that her daughter was not the daughter of the Goryeo emperor at all, but rather the child of another man."
Yanran: "... That's not right. If her man dies, the throne will fall to someone else."
"Perhaps it's on her head."
Yanran: "..."
Suddenly I feel so powerful.
Is anyone helping her?
"She has many admirers, but more help is always better, so she wants to approach the Prince, and may even be asking him to send troops."
"Why should we be her pawns?"
"Interests," Cui Xiaoqiu said.
"What good things could that tiny place possibly have to offer in exchange?" Yanran asked skeptically.
"She does have some family wealth; let's see how she negotiates with the Prince."
"Okay, as long as we don't talk about sex."
Her brother is completely inexperienced in this matter; he might get led astray.
Cui Xiaoqiu: "..."
Then suddenly, silence fell.
Yanran, however, didn't seem to realize that her words were excessive or startling. She yawned and said, "Alright, go to sleep early. I'll ask Yuanyang tomorrow."
I'll also take the opportunity to bump into the Goryeo delegation's residence and see what those charming women are really like.
At the same time, Madam Lang was also talking to Lang Xuan.
"From now on, we must listen to the Prince. I've observed this from the sidelines, and the Prince is truly the safest choice."
Lang Xuan was wondering if Yanran would take her words to heart and investigate Wei Jun properly, so she didn't listen very attentively.
Later, when she heard Madam Lang praising Yuwen Duo, she suddenly asked, "Mother, what makes him reliable and good?"
I've kept you in my heart.
Lang Xuan thought this joke was really not funny at all.
Would Yuwen Duo care about me?
She hadn't dared to hope for anything like this, even living under the same roof for several years in her previous life; how could she possibly hope for anything like this now?
Seeing Lang Xuan's expression, Madam Lang smiled.
"Girl, you don't believe me? I have proof."
Lang Xuan was bewildered.
"Yuanyang," said Madam Lang.
"What's wrong with Sister Yuanyang?" Lang Xuan asked, puzzled.
Along the way, thanks to her care, the family didn't suffer much hardship, Lang Xuan was very grateful to Yuanyang.
Moreover, Yuanyang are inherently quiet and composed, making them very easy to like.
"If I'm not mistaken, she should be the prince's person."
Lang Xuan was taken aback and instinctively said, "No, Sister Yuanyang isn't a bad person."
"Girl, who said that the prince's people are bad? Never say that again. It's clearly because the prince doesn't trust you that he sent her to take care of you."
Ultimately, it was Madam Lang who had a greater insight into human nature.
Lang Xuan still couldn't believe it.
Why would Yuwen Duo be so attentive to me?
This dream is far too beautiful.
"Along the way, she was not only not made things difficult for anyone, but was also taken care of in every way, and we even benefited from it," said Madam Lang.
"That was a favor from the Heir to the Prince of Min."
"No. Girl, you understand too little about the fickleness of human relationships. If it were just the Heir to the Prince of Min, at most she wouldn't suffer, because it's human nature to fawn over the powerful and trample on the weak; she wouldn't have been able to live so comfortably. But later, didn't you notice that she could still give orders?"
Madam Lang was right. On the way here, they encountered a storm, Yuanyang decided to stop for three days without worrying about delaying their journey.
At the time, Lang Xuan also found it strange, but didn't think much of it.
"How could the people escorting her happen to be from the Prince of Min's Residence? It can only mean that the person you contacted is extremely powerful, and everyone has to give them face."
That level of strength is far beyond Heir to the Prince of Min.
"That's just your own guess."
Lang Xuan is in a state of confusion because she was startled by a single word.
Praising the powerful and belittling the weak.
Yes.
After the Lang Family's misfortune, all the sisters who were once close to her stopped contacting her, and this was true in both her lifetimes.
She hadn't thought about it in detail, only that the fickleness of human relationships was perhaps just how things were.
But just now she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had never been mistreated in the Eastern Palace.
It's not that there's no human warmth there, but rather that someone is quietly taking care of her.
That person could very well be Yuwen Duo?
Will it?
How could it be him?
But the more Lang Xuan thought about it, the more she felt that it might really be true.
By then, she was no longer of any use to him; if it were him, why would he do that?
An unbelievable thought slowly surfaced in her mind, but she quickly dismissed it.
Stop patting yourself on the back.
Lang Xuan was in a state of turmoil and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
The next day, Lang Xuan, who was struggling to open her eyes while looking at her dowry, received a "generous gift".
This gift came from the Goryeo delegation.
The person who gave the gift said it was a special present from the Queen of Goryeo to congratulate her on her marriage.
Zhao Yingzhu.
Lang Xuan had a very deep impression of her.
Because in her past life, she had met Zhao Yingzhu...
Before she could think it through, Madam Lang said, "The princess went to see Yuanyang today. I saw her tying up her horse when I went out just now. Go and take her a plate of snacks."
You need to get along well with your future sister-in-law.
Lang Xuan did not refuse and took the snacks out the door.
However, as soon as she arrived at Yuanyang's door, seeing Jiang'er and Baoxuan standing outside talking, the plate in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Baoxuan!
Although she is still young, Lang Xuan recognized her at a glance.
They're here, they're all here.
Zhao Yingzhu arrived, Baoxuan arrived, and these people who shouldn't be here now all came because of her rebirth...
