She agreed with them, but she was still worried about Murong Qiqi's identity. If she objected, she would be known as a traitor. Murong Qiqi was here for the marriage. To put it bluntly, she was here for Feng Cang's happiness. She couldn't go overboard as it involved the politics of the two countries.
Moreover, the women she had assigned to Feng Cang had all met with mishaps. This time, Murong Qiqi had been with Feng Cang for so long and was unharmed. Perhaps her horoscope could subdue the evil star in Feng Cang's horoscope.
Could it be that this was fate? Dongfang Lan was unhappy and unwilling.
However, the bloodline of the Feng family needed to continue. Feng Cang was already twenty-five years old. Other men at this age would already have children, but Feng Cang was the only one who had a wife. Until now, no one dared to marry him. Did she really have to let Murong Qiqi marry into the Feng family? Let the blood of the Feng descendants be injected with the blood of their enemies?
In just a moment, Dongfang Lan's mind was filled with a lot of thoughts. The grandson in front of her was the one she loved the most among her grandchildren. This child lost his parents when he was ten and was ruined by a traitor. It was not easy to raise him, but it was so difficult to marry a wife …
Looking at Murong Qiqi, she looked ordinary, had ordinary abilities, and everything else was ordinary. She did not deserve Feng Cang at all. However, Feng Cang took a liking to her and she was fine by his side. Could it be that enemies did not meet?
After hesitating for a long time, Dongfang Lan did not speak. She only came back to her senses when Wanyan Baozhu called her 'Imperial Grandmother'.
"Just now, Princess said that you have a loyal heart. Did I hear wrongly?" Dongfang Lan looked at Murong Qiqi with a sharp gaze.
"You didn't hear wrongly."
"Then, I want to ask you, are you from Xiqi or Beizhou? If there is a conflict of interest between the two countries, which side will you stand on? " Dongfang Lan's words were aggressive. Anyone could tell that she was making things difficult for Murong Qiqi.
"Empress Dowager, whether it is Xiqi or Beizhou, it has nothing to do with me."
Murong Qiqi's straightforward reply made everyone suck in a cold breath of air. Nothing to do with her? What did that mean? Dongfang Lan frowned but did not expect Murong Qiqi to continue.
"I will only stand by His Highness' side. Whatever your Highness does, I will do. "
It was a perfect answer, throwing the ball to Feng Cang. At this moment, Feng Cang could not help but love this little woman even more! She knew how to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade. She threw everything to him and let him face it. Did this woman trust him or was she afraid of trouble?
"Mm." Dongfang Lan nodded. Regardless of whether Murong Qiqi answered Beizhou or Xiqi, it would leave a weakness for others to use against her. This was the best answer. It seemed like she wasn't that stupid.
If she really thought that way and treated Feng Cang as her own sky, then Dongfang Lan could rest assured. He just didn't know if she was saying one thing to his face and doing another behind his back.
She wasn't a stubborn old lady. After spending a day on Murong Qiqi, she had a rough understanding of the situation. She was just a poor child! However, Murong Qiqi was Murong Tai's daughter and Feng Xie's defeat at Murong Tai's hands was an indisputable fact!
After so many years, Dongfang Lan would often dream of Wanyan Mingyue. She dreamed of Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie together, holding their child and standing in front of her, covered in blood, saying, "Empress Mother, you must take revenge for Mingyue! You must take revenge for Mingyue! "
That year, during the battle of Yandang Mountain, Feng Xie committed suicide and Mingyue committed suicide along with the baby in her womb. The family of three died in the sea of fire without even a complete corpse.
Every time she thought of the tragic fate of her daughter and son-in-law, as well as the pitiful fate of her unborn grandson, Dongfang Lan's heart would burn with deep hatred. Hatred for Xiqi and Murong Tai!
Dongfang Lan knew that Murong Qiqi was innocent, but wasn't her Mingyue innocent as well? Wasn't her unborn grandson innocent as well? In this world, there were no innocent people. So what if they were innocent once they were embroiled in a dispute?
"Since Sunshine Princess has said so, I can rest assured. This Four Nation Competition will be held in the four northern prefectures of our North Zhou Country. I heard that Princess' younger sister is a contestant from Xiqi. Since Princess is wholeheartedly concerned about Cang 'er, I will look forward to your performance in the Four Nation Competition. "
"If Princess is wholeheartedly concerned about Cang 'er's interests, then North Zhou Country should be the champion this time. When North Zhou Country wins, I will hold a wedding for Princess and Cang 'er. What does Princess think? "
The older, the wiser. Dongfang Lan's suggestion made even Murong Qiqi want to applaud, not to mention Wanyan Baozhu and Mu Yudie.
If North Zhou won, then she could marry Feng Cang. If North Zhou did not win, then their marriage would be ruined and she would have to go back to where she came from.
She, Murong Qiqi, was clearly a girl who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. She did not have any Battle Qi or martial arts, so she could not participate in the competition. However, Dongfang Lan linked the Four Nation Youth Competition to her marriage. This was clearly making things difficult for her! It seemed like this Empress Dowager really did not like her!
"Grandmother —"
"Cang 'er, this is the biggest concession I can make. You understand." Before Feng Cang could speak, Dongfang Lan interrupted him. This was her bottom line. Even Feng Cang could not help her!
Yes, she did not feel comfortable in her heart. Letting the daughter of her enemy marry her only grandson was a difficult choice for the Empress Dowager who had lost her beloved daughter. Even if she wanted to make things difficult for Murong Qiqi, she still wanted to see if she was worthy of Feng Cang.
Feng Cang's words were stopped, but Wanyan Lie could not bear to see his nephew being wronged, so he quickly spoke up to help him.
"Imperial Mother, do you think you can make an exception for this matter? The Sunshine Princess is here to make peace. This is something that all four countries know. If we are too strict, it might affect our relationship with West Qi. Furthermore, I think this princess is not bad. Cang 'er is also interested. Why don't we grant them their wish! Furthermore, the princess does not have any Dou Qi — "
"No!" Wanyan Lie's' plea 'was like adding oil to the fire. Dongfang Lan immediately rejected him. If it was not for the fact that Murong Qiqi was the princess of West Qi, she would have long sent someone to chase her away. The pain of losing a daughter, the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person, was not something that others could understand!
