Mu Wanqing originally thought that this imperial edict was for her mother, Qin Hongmian, so she followed her to receive the edict without any preparation. She even thought that the new Emperor was going to grant amnesty to the world, so that the Mu family could see the light of day again. Who would have thought that it would be such heavy news?
In the inner room, Song Qingshu was also dumbfounded. "What the hell is this? The problem with Yelu Nanxian hasn't been dealt with yet, and now there's a problem with Mu Wanqing? If it's not the Princess, then it's the Crown Princess, then it's the Empress. I'm really fated with these terms. "
The eunuch saw Mu Wanqing standing there with her mouth open, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "As expected of a fairy-like girl. I've never seen such a beautiful girl in so many years in the palace. No wonder the first thing the new Emperor did was to confer the title of Empress on her."
"Your Highness, hurry up and receive the edict." The eunuch said with a smile.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and snorted. "I don't want to be the Empress. Whoever wants to be can be it."
The eunuch's smile instantly froze on his face. It should be known that the whole family would celebrate if a woman could enter the palace to be a concubine, let alone become the Empress. The other side's reaction was beyond his imagination, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
It was Qin Hongmian who reacted first. She pulled Mu Wanqing. "Wan 'er, don't mess around ~"
Mu Wanqing immediately objected. "Mother ~"
Qin Hongmian pulled her aside and whispered, "Li Langzuo is like the sun in the sky now. If you refuse, we can leave, but what about the Mu family? Although I have no feelings for Mu Yuqi, he treats us well, and the Mu family takes care of us in many ways. How can we push them into a desperate situation because of a moment of happiness? What's more, the entire Qin family is in Xixia. Those uncles of yours have to rely on the Emperor. If you marry, how will the Qin family live in the future? "
"But I …" Mu Wanqing glanced at the inner room. Tears welled up in her eyes. For a moment, she was completely disheartened.
At this time, Song Qingshu's Secret Voice-sending voice drifted into her ears, "Sister Wan, don't worry. Even if you become the Mongolian Empress, I'll take you to a faraway place, let alone a mere Empress of the Western Xia Country."
Hearing her lover's words,
Only then did Mu Wanqing's incomparably chaotic heart calm down. Previously, she was in so much pain because she had to make a choice between her clan and her lover. Now that she could have the best of both worlds, she naturally had to relax a lot.
Seeing her expression soften, the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the imperial edict into her hands. He was really worried that this lady would be so capricious that she would disobey the edict. If that happened, the Mu family and the Qin family would suffer, but as the person who passed the edict, he could not guarantee that he would not be implicated for not doing his job well.
"Miss Mu is the future Imperial Concubine. Staying in this Jie Tan Temple is truly a grievance. His Majesty has already ordered this old servant to prepare another residence. Would Miss Mu please move?" The eunuch continued.
Mu Wanqing snorted. "I'm not going anywhere. I think this Jietan Temple is pretty good." What kind of joke was this? Older Brother Song was here. If they moved to another place, who knew if it would be easy for the two of them to meet again?
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still gave in. "Since that's the case, this old servant will send people to properly clean up this Jie Tan Temple. Someone come …" He was worried that if he continued to pester her, he would anger the other party. If they ended up getting married, then that would be a big mess. Therefore, he could only follow her wishes for some insignificant matters and directly arrange for people to rearrange Jie Tan Temple.
"Many thanks, Gonggong ~" Qin Hongmian went to send off the eunuch and stealthily stuffed a piece of jadeite into the other party's hands.
The eunuch was instantly overjoyed. The previous grievance and depression he had suffered here were all swept away. "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. This old servant will know what to say when I return."
Qin Hongmian smiled slightly. "Then I really have to thank Gonggong." Although she had a fiery temper in Jianghu, she was, after all, from a large clan and was once a noble princess. She knew these official etiquettes much better than her daughter.
After sending off the group of people who delivered the imperial edict and closing the door, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but stamp her feet. "Mother, that damned eunuch is disgusting to look at. Why did you give him such an expensive thing?"
Qin Hongmian sighed faintly. "Wan 'er, you're still young and don't understand the dangers of the world. As the saying goes, it's easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little demons. If you offend the Emperor's personal attendants and go back to stir up trouble, there will be endless trouble."
"Princess is right." At this time, Song Qingshu and Yelu Nanxian also walked out from the inner room.
Hearing him call her Princess and thinking of the situation that night, Qin Hongmian felt uncomfortable all over. If it wasn't for the fact that there were other people present, she would have most likely fled.
Seeing her lover, Mu Wanqing hurriedly explained. "Brother Song, I really don't want to marry that Emperor, it's just …"
Song Qingshu nodded. "Wan mei, I know. You are worried about this clan."
"Are we really not fated to be together?" Mu Wanqing suddenly bit her lip. "How about we don't care about anything and you take me away."
At the side, Qin Hongmian: "…"
No wonder everyone said that girls were extroverted, it really was so. This scene was somewhat familiar. She couldn't help but think that she had been like this in the past, but at that time, she didn't have a man like Song Qingshu to rely on.
"Now that you have a lover, you don't want your mother, don't want your uncles?" Qin Hongmian felt that she needed to show some of the dignity of a mother. Otherwise, this little girl would really turn the sky upside down.
Song Qingshu also couldn't help but laugh. He stroked Mu Wanqing's hair and comforted her. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think. If you don't believe me, look at Nanxian mei. She was the Crown Princess before and had to shoulder the fate of two countries. The pressure she faced was greater than yours. Didn't I also take her out of the abyss of suffering?"
Seeing the other being so intimate with her daughter in front of her, Qin Hongmian opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end. At the side, Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Yelu Nanxian had originally felt a bit uncomfortable because of her previous attitude, but seeing her like this, she couldn't help but think of her own situation in the past. She couldn't help but sympathize with her, so she roughly explained the matter of her marriage.
Hearing the shocking turn of events, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but admire her. "Jiejie, you are really brave. If it was me, I probably wouldn't have done as well as you." Although she had been jealous before, compared to the current situation, that little bit of jealousy was nothing. Everyone could be said to be united against a common enemy, so the previous misunderstanding was naturally resolved.
Yelu Nanxian smiled sweetly. "That's because I know that Song Dage will protect me. No matter what danger I encounter, he will appear by my side. Naturally, I have more confidence. So you don't have to be afraid, Song Dage will definitely have a way to help you."
"Really, Song Dage?" Mu Wanqing looked expectantly at her sweetheart. Even though she knew that he was very capable, but this wasn't a common marriage. The other was the ruler of a country. If she let the Empress be taken by another man, how could he let it go?
