After the banquet, the empress had Lan Lingqian stay in the palace for a few days.
She directly exposed Lan Lingqian's thoughts and told her that she could help her.
However, if Lan Lingqian became the crown princess in the future, she could not forget her kindness.
For Feng Qian Che, Lan Lingqian agreed.
Other than the emperor, there were three powers in the Feng Dynasty. Grand Scholar Luo Sen, Minister of Revenue Rong Lin, and the crown prince Feng Qian Che.
Then if they wanted Feng Qian Che's position as crown prince to not be threatened, the Luo and Rong Families could not work together.
The empress told her that if she could drive a wedge between the Luo and Rong Families for Feng Qian Che, she would receive the crown prince's gratitude and pity.
She believed.
However, it was not an easy thing to cause a rift between the Luo and Rong Families who had a deep friendship.
Until the Luo Manor's Luo Qingchen reached her tenth year. The Luo and Rong Families decided to form a marriage alliance. On one hand, they wanted to strengthen their power, and on the other hand, they wanted to know the character of the other side's child.
The elders of the two families thought that Rong Mu Ling and Luo Qingchen would be happy together.
The previous host also thought so.
When the previous host was young, she had seen Rong Mu Ling a few times. The two families were old friends, so they were naturally close.
She did not fall in love with Rong Mu Ling at first sight. She went from envying Lan Lingqian to caring about Rong Mu Ling.
Maybe it was because Rong Mu Ling was too good to Lan Lingqian. When the two families ate, he would always help Lan Lingqian scoop out the green onions in the soup, peel the shrimp shells for her, and put the desserts she liked in front of her.
She envied Lan Lingqian and admired Rong Mu Ling very much. When she reached her tenth year, she had asked her mother why Rong Mu Ling did not take Lan Lingqian as his wife.
Her mother combed her hair as she said, "Because she is his little sister."
The previous host believed her mother's words. In that moment, she seemed to like Rong Mu Ling even more. Because he was so good to his little sister, he would definitely be good to his wife.
That night, the previous host was so happy that she could not sleep. When the mother saw how happy her daughter was, she felt a little worried.
In fact, she had lied to her daughter. The reason why Rong Mu Ling did not marry Lan Lingqian was not because Lan Lingqian was his younger sister, but because Lan Lingqian rejected his feelings.
Rong Mu Ling could not obtain the person he loved, and in order to consolidate the Rong family's power in the imperial court, he had no choice but to marry the Luo family's di daughter as his wife.
That day, the entire Rong mansion was hung with red silk, and the sound of celebration spread throughout Chang 'an. She sat nervously in the red sedan, covered with a bridal veil, her heart full of joy.
But this time of joy was too short. On the wedding night, Rong Mu Ling did not even step into the room.
Instead, he was in the study, hungover. In his daze, he called out the name of another woman — Lan Lingqian.
To him, Lan Lingqian was special. He would never forget that day at the entrance of the brothel, when she raised her stubborn eyes.
She was different from other women. She was not a noble lady, nor was she weak. She always had a stubbornness in her bones that constantly attracted him.
He always thought that when they grew up, she would definitely be his wife. But he did not know that she told him that she already had someone else in her heart.
"Who is that person?" he asked.
"Someone from the imperial palace." She replied.
He did not ask anymore. Because when he saw her eyes, he knew that she was telling the truth.
