The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 98: Conferring the title of Consort Rong
Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng exchanged a glance and quickly figured out the reason. In order to recover the poison in his body smoothly, the third prince fabricated a noble person. If they hadn’t known in advance that the noble person was Lu Yiyi, they would have been deceived by him.
People who don’t follow the ordinary path are terrifying.
Qi Yun, the daughter of the Minister of War, did not practice martial arts, needlework, or women’s teachings. She was only interested in practicing medicine. With the help of her father, she studied under the Imperial Physician Hu.
When the Imperial Master saw this look on his face, the Ji family knew that the two had conspired to plot against the Qi family.
The third prince brought this person here today just to let her show herself in front of others. He said frankly that this person was his noble person and would save him. In the future, she might even be named the Third Prince’s Consort, and the Qi family would rise to prominence from then on.
Emperor Yu smiled and nodded, his face full of joy. “Well, you should take good care of yourself. If the poison in your body can be cured, I will personally reward the entire Qi family.”
The Qi family knelt down in fear and shouted “Long live the emperor”.
Mu Yun raised her head and glanced at Madam Ji meaningfully. Her legitimate sister was really promising. Others were rushing for the royal marriage, but she was avoiding it.
Is this to tell the world that only the Crown prince, who is second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people, is worthy of the girl of the Ji family? It’s a pity that the prince is too old.
On this side, Ji Hua was full of indignation.
[Damn it, are you trying to force my grandfather to take sides? My grandfather is not alone, and there are many students in the Imperial Hospital.]
After hearing this, Madam Ji felt very solemn. She had to find a time to tell her father about the third prince.
Ji Zhou and his group, he did not believe what An Yan said. It was indeed the third prince who pretended too much and deceived too many people.
After changing her clothes, Nangong Yan walked into the hall with a charming and slender waist, and left a charming fragrance wherever she went, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Nangong Yan knew how to seize the initiative. Of course, the premise is that she has to be confident enough. If she succeeds in grabbing the attention of the young masters of the noble families, then the singing and dancing of others can only be a foil to her.
If the palace concubine wants to dance, the male guests dare not take a second look, as it would be disrespectful to Emperor Yu. But Nangong Yan is different. This move is completely a bit of a publicity stunt.
But she herself doesn’t care, so what else should they care about?
When the music started, Princess Nangong also started dancing, and her dance was so sparkling and passionate. She cast a coquettish glance at the Crown prince, and then swung a piece of her long sleeves towards the two young masters of the Ji family. The male guests were so scared that they left their souls.
The men were naturally happy to watch this kind of dance with bold movements and enchanting waist, while the women sneered at Nangong Yan’s grandstanding behavior.
Ji Hua, on the other hand, laughed heartily.
[Hahaha, you dance quite well, on par with the top performer in Yihong Courtyard.]
Ji Linfeng couldn’t help but spit out the tea he had just drunk. He was given a cold look by Nangong Yan, who really couldn’t stomach the fine bran.
If it weren’t for his good looks, she wouldn’t have bothered to look at him. But the young man who was sipping tea next to him was a little special. He was actually more handsome than the Crown prince.
A gentleman of good character, nothing more than that.
It’s a pity that he has a crippled leg.
After the dance, Emperor Yu rewarded Nangong Yan with a lot of gold and silver, which was not what she wanted. When she was about to speak, the Queen spoke. “Which other young lady has a talent show?”
The Queen spoke directly, wanting to interrupt Nangong Yan’s words. But Nangong Yan was thick-skinned. Without waiting for any girl to step forward, she knelt on the ground and begged Emperor Yu for mercy.
“Your Majesty, I have come to Shengyu this time, deeply impressed by the prosperity of Shengjing City and the customs of its people. To maintain the long-term diplomatic relationship between our two countries, I am willing to make a contribution and marry a man from Shengyu, thus establishing a close relationship between Qin and Jin.”
She was a princess of a noble kingdom; he couldn’t just dismiss her casually. She believed Emperor Yu was no fool.
In Gu Fanmu’s opinion, Nangong Yan was foolish. If they could have joined forces with the Northern Kingdom, why would they have resorted to marriage to maintain peace? Why did they have to pay tribute to Shengyu every year? Ultimately, it was the Southern Kingdom that was too timid.
Upon hearing this, the Queen’s face darkened. She thought this Southern Kingdom princess was incredibly thick-skinned. Most people wouldn’t be so brazen as to kneel and beg for mercy.
If they truly intended a marriage, they would have written a document. This was entirely her personal act.
Emperor Yu glanced around with a dignified gaze, as if observing who was worthy of such a passionate and uninhibited princess. His gaze finally rested on Crown Prince Bei Hengmo.
The Crown Prince’s brows knitted slightly.
The Lu family, including Lu Qingyan, felt a tightness in their hearts. That was the Princess of the Southern Kingdom. If her status was low, she would be the face of the Southern Kingdom. Naturally, Emperor Yu did not want the years of peace to be broken, and he would definitely fulfill her wish.
From the Crown Prince’s furrowed brow, the Queen had already understood his intention, and whispered to Emperor Yu: “Your Majesty, the Crown prince really likes the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and he can’t give extra favor to others. If he marries the Princess of the Southern Kingdom, he will inevitably neglect her. If the Princess of the Southern Kingdom is wronged, it will be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.”
If a marriage really had to be arranged, she would have to fight for the status of a co-wife for Lu Qingyan, after all, the Crown Prince had feelings for her. He would not neglect her. She knew that Lu Qingyan was a sensible child.
The Third Prince had an attitude of watching a good show.
In the whole palace, only the Ji family was calm and composed.
[Don’t worry, don’t worry, nothing will happen. Look how scared the Lu family sister is. Then look at Nangong Yan. Tsk tsk, she thought she was destined to marry the Crown Prince, only to have her dance win the heart of Emperor Yu. If she finds out she’ll become Consort Rong, won’t she be so furious she’ll vomit blood?]
Emperor Yu was actually waiting for the Empress to say no, so he could easily take her into his harem. He had second thoughts the moment Nangong Yan appeared in her midriff-baring outfit.
Just as the Empress was feeling uncertain, Emperor Yu spoke. “Then take Princess Nangong into the harem to keep her company with the Empress!”
The Empress who was about to help Lu Qingyan fight for a co-wife status: “…”
Emperor Yu looked at Nangong Yan and spoke in a seemingly kind manner: “I didn’t expect that Princess Nangong, a woman, was so patriotic. I really admire her. Since Princess Nangong voluntarily stayed in Shengjing for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, I will certainly not let the princess down.”
“Eunuch De, pass on my decree. From now on, Princess Nangong will be granted the title of Rongfei and will live in Zhaohua Palace.”
The last moment, Nangong Yan thought she had gotten what she wanted, but the next moment, when she heard that she was to be granted the title of Rongfei, she felt terrible. She, she didn’t want to be Rongfei, she only wanted to be the Crown Princess.
“No, Your Majesty, I, I want to…”
“Why? Princess Nangong thinks I’m not worthy of you?” Emperor Yu’s face suddenly darkened.
Nangong Yan was startled and waved her hands hurriedly. “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I, I just, just…”
Nangong Yan kept looking at the Crown Prince, thinking he was going to speak up for her, but he just lowered his head and drank. He looked completely indifferent.
“Since Princess Nangong has no objection, then so be it. The Empress will arrange other matters,” Emperor Yu said with finality.
Nangong Yan seemed to collapse to the ground, exhausted.
