C194 Standing on the Top of the Wave
Then, she slowly turned her head, and when she saw Consort Yun's unwavering gaze, she actually laughed.
"That may be good, but I think you won't see that day."
Consort Yun's expression immediately changed. Princess Changle had already turned around and was walking away, her voice floating over from afar. "Consort Yun already tried to kill me on her own accord. What are you guys standing there foolishly for?"
When Princess Changle stepped out of the door, a sharp voice rang out. Princess Changle did not turn around because even if she did not look, she knew that from today onwards, Consort Yun would no longer be in the Crown Prince's Palace.
Princess Changle went straight to the palace to see the emperor.
The Emperor of Xiliang had a good impression of Princess Changle, because he felt that Princess Changle understood the general picture and knew how to conduct herself, which was much better than the Consort Yun that Shangguan Jinghua always doted on.
Hearing Princess Changle's request for an audience, the Emperor didn't hesitate and ordered his men to bring her in.
Princess Changle knelt in front of the emperor. "Greetings, Royal Father."
The emperor's eyes looked at her and he nodded. "What is it?"
"Your majesty, it's like this. Your son heard that Royal Father and mother who were far away in Wusun are not well and wanted to request a visit from your majesty."
Princess Changle's eyes were filled with sincerity, which made the Emperor frown.
He said, "But it's never been like this..."
"Your son knows, but the emperor should also know. Your son grew up in the Kingdom of Wusun and has come all the way here to marry you. Prince …"
It was obvious that she was choked with sobs, which made the emperor frown. He knew that Princess Changle would be unhappy about Shangguan Jinghua pampering Consort Yun like that, but she understood the gist of it, so she never said anything.
At Princess Changle's words, the emperor's brows knit together tightly.
He said, "It's not impossible... "Since that's the case, I will allow you ten days to go back and visit your parents!"
Princess Changle came out of the palace and coincidentally bumped into Shangguan Jinghua.
When Shangguan Jinghua saw Princess Changle, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Prince's words are really funny. I'm not locked in the Crown Prince's Palace, do I need to report anything to you?"
"What are you doing in the palace?"
Shangguan Jinghua asked the same question over and over again.
Princess Changle's footsteps stopped. She turned around and said, "It's like this, Prince. My mother and Royal Father who are far away in Wusun are not in good health. The emperor and I request a visit from them."
As she spoke, Princess Changle couldn't help but pause for a moment, then continued, "Also, the emperor has already agreed, Prince …" There shouldn't be any objections, right? "
Shangguan Jinghua's eyes were filled with gloominess.
"How come I didn't know?"
"This was what I, Royal Father, and the Queen Mother sent to tell me. I didn't have the time to tell Prince, but knowing it earlier or knowing it now really makes no difference."
Shangguan Jinghua looked at the woman in front of him. She was getting more and more arrogant!
Shangguan Jinghua held his hand and said, "Princess is really a big idea. No matter what, I am still your …"
"Yes, Prince." Princess Changle interrupted him and said, "Next time, I will talk to Prince first."
Next time...
Hearing Princess Changle's words, Shangguan Jinghua exploded with anger. He looked at Princess Changle, but she acted as if she didn't notice his gaze, and walked away.
Princess Changle looked at Shangguan Jinghua through the raised curtain and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Before this, she wanted to get along with him properly and wanted to entrust her sincerity to him. But now, Princess Changle realized that she was wrong. Shangguan Jinghua wouldn't be a good person.
In Shangguan Jinghua's eyes, there was only his own world. If that was the case, what was Princess Changle?
Nothing.
Since it didn't count for anything, naturally … He could only leave.
Princess Changle put down the curtain and said, "Is everything in the Crown Prince's Palace ready? Let's just go today! "
Of course she would not go to Wusun Nation, but instead, she would split her troops into two groups, with one group swaggering towards Wusun Nation, and the other group going towards Yingjia Nation.
Shangguan Jinghua wanted to go with him because he knew that it was impossible for Princess Changle to just go visit his parents.
However, Princess Changle took out the imperial edict and declared that the Emperor would only allow her to leave.
Shangguan Jinghua had no other choice.
On the way, Princess Changle was in an exceptionally good mood as she hummed a small tune with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The servant girl beside her asked, "Princess, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Princess Changle's eyes looked at her and said, "You have to remember, if you marry someone in the future and he can't give you everything, you have to find your own way to survive. For example, trampling him under your feet and letting him help you carry your shoes is a good idea."
In that case, Princess Changle knew that the servant girl wouldn't understand, but it didn't matter. As long as she understood, it was fine.
When Princess Changle got off the carriage, the sky was already getting dark. They were looking for a clean inn. The waiter could tell with a single glance that Princess Changle was not an ordinary person with the word 'attentive' on her face.
Princess Changle's face was calm. After cleaning up for a while, she fell asleep.
A soft voice came from outside, "Do you know what background this Prince Regent has?"
"Hey, you don't know? Previously, in order to protect him, he was directly bestowed the title of Duke and sent to a faraway place. After that, when the new Emperor ascended the throne, he did not appear, and right now, there is only a child who is not even one year old left in Yingjia.
Princess Changle's eyes immediately darkened when she heard that.
Prince Regent...
Since this was still the territory of Xiliang, when they started to discuss it, they naturally did not care too much about it.
Lee Wanning did not know what Prince Regent's background was either.
She only found out about his existence today.
It was Su Ann who had sent up the memorial. It was Prince Regent who had asked someone to send it over, saying that he wanted to come take a look at Capital City.
Lee Wanning asked Su Ann. Su Ann could be considered an old man in the palace. Whether it was Ann Tan or Ann Tan's Royal Father, he already knew about them. Now that he heard Lee Wanning's words, he told her the truth.
Back then, he was still a eunuch beside Ann Tan's father, so he really didn't know about this.
However, they had heard that Prince Regent's mother was someone that the late emperor placed above all else. In order to protect them, the late emperor sent them to a safe place early on.
He didn't even want to admit Prince Regent's identity.
Lee Wanning frowned when she heard Su Ann.
That being said, what does Prince Regent mean by choosing to come back at this time?
You want to take back your mountains and rivers?
What Lee Wanning knew was that she was, after all, just a stranger. Even before this, there were still women from the imperial harem participating in politics to create such a tragedy in Yingjia. Even if Lee Wanning dug out her heart, there probably wouldn't be many people who would believe her.
But even so, there were not many people who would refute her, and the reason was simple. Even if that group of people did not admit it, the person with the highest authority in the entire Yingjia right now was undeniable.
However, if Prince Regent were to come, it would be different.
Lee Wanning rubbed her forehead. Just as she was thinking, Su Ann's voice sounded, "Empress Dowager, actually, there's something that this servant should tell you."
Lee Wanning turned around and saw Su Ann looking at her with a smile. "Princess Changle is already on her way here."
To be honest, Lee Wanning wasn't special to Princess Changle … She didn't know what to make of her feelings for her,
Lee Wanning should have hated her, because if it hadn't been for her, she wouldn't have gotten to where she was today.
After all, she had saved his life before.
However, he had to admit that Princess Changle had a lot of tricks up her sleeves when it came to things. Therefore, in her current situation, the first person Lee Wanning thought of was her.
Lee Wanning's eyes closed for a moment, then slowly opened up.
"Good," she said.
On the second day in the imperial court, Lee Wanning saw Prince Regent for the first time.
His surname was also An, and he was named Ann Ping.
His grade couldn't be considered to be high, his skin was a little dark, and his eyes were deep. When he looked at Lee Wanning, Lee Wanning's heart skipped a beat.
"Your subject pays his respect to the emperor and Empress Dowager!"
His voice was so clear that Lee Wanning couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. The little Ann Yang in her arms was still making a ruckus. Prince Regent came all the way here. Thank you for your hard work. "
Ann Ping slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lee Wanning. He said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, it's not hard at all. It's Empress Dowager who works hard every day on matters of the court."
However, Lee Wanning turned her eyes away and said, "Prince Regent is too serious. This one has already prepared a feast at the palace. If there's nothing else, you can leave the court!"
