Chapter 78 Plan
Chapter 78 Plan
In Changle Palace, Princess Fengyang paced anxiously in the hall, glancing towards the door from time to time. After a while, she saw Qingyan hurriedly walking in from outside.
When Princess Fengyang saw Qingyan coming in, she immediately waved her hand and said to the palace maids and maids in the hall, "You all go down."
Seeing that the maids and nannies had all left, Princess Fengyang asked Qingyan, "How is it?"
"Princess, here it is," Qingyan said as she took out a small paper bag from her arms.
Princess Fengyang took the small paper bag and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did anyone find out?"
"Don't worry, Princess, no one will find out," Qingyan replied in a low voice.
Princess Fengyang nodded and looked down at the small paper bag in her hand.
"Princess, isn't this too risky? What if... you can't recover by then?" Qingyan asked Princess Fengyang with a worried look on her face.
"No, my mother told me about this medicine when I was a child. It will help you regain your appearance in a month," Princess Fengyang said affirmatively, looking at the small bag in her hand.
"Princess, what if someone finds out..." Qingyan said worriedly.
"There's no such thing as a one-time event!" Princess Fengyang suddenly interrupted Qingyan.
"I will never go to the Kingdom of Yue to marry a princess. Even if it is risky, I will give it a try," Princess Fengyang said resolutely.
Putting the small paper bag in her arms, Princess Fengyang walked to the soft couch with some fatigue and lay down at an angle.
Seeing this, Qingyan hurried over, picked up the fan, and fanned Princess Fengyang carefully.
"Qingyan, you said that I am of noble status and I believe that my appearance is unmatched, so why doesn't Lord Wei like me?" Princess Fengyang asked Qingyan in a low voice while lying on the couch.
"Princess, this...I don't know either," Qingyan answered cautiously.
"I absolutely cannot go to the Kingdom of Yue to marry," Princess Fengyang murmured to herself. "If I go to the Kingdom of Yue, I may never see him again in this lifetime."
"Princess, please think of another way. I think this method is too risky." Qingyan still wanted to dissuade Princess Fengyang.
"There is no other way. I have been thinking about it for so long, and this is the only way. As long as we don't go to the Kingdom of Yue to marry, the risk is worth it." Princess Fengyang shook her head.
"Princess, if the emperor finds out about this, he will definitely be furious." Qingyan's voice trembled when she thought of the consequences of doing this.
"As for Doctor Sun, I have already made arrangements. My father won't find out," Princess Fengyang said with a slight frown.
"Princess..." Qingyan wanted to persuade her again.
"Don't say anymore," Princess Fengyang stopped Qingyan and said, "I'm tired and want to take a rest." After saying that, Princess Fengyang closed her eyes.
Qingyan had no choice but to shut up. While fanning Princess Fengyang, she prayed in her heart that nothing would go wrong in this matter.
Alas, following such a troublesome master, I live in fear every day, Qingyan lamented in her heart.
At this time, in Yanghe Palace, Emperor Qingyuan heard what Empress Xiao said and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He said, "If Jing'an doesn't marry, does that mean she will have to stay in the palace for the rest of her life?"
"Your Majesty," Empress Xiao said, "This is Jing'an's own idea. She said that rather than marrying and being despised by her husband, it would be better for her to live freely on her own."
"Even though she will be a second wife when she marries into the Marquis's Mansion, she will still be a proper wife of the Marquis's Mansion. In the future, she will give birth to legitimate sons and daughters, and have children around her. Isn't it better than her being alone?" said Emperor Qingyuan.
"For a princess to marry into a marquis's mansion as a concubine is a bit of a step down in status, but Jing'an is like that, even you, as a mother, would be scared, let alone others!"
Emperor Qingyuan stood up from the dragon throne, put his hands behind his back and said, "After much thought, I think the Zhaoyuan Marquis's mansion is the most suitable for Jing'an. Although the Zhaoyuan Marquis has many concubines, they are all concubines after all. When the time comes, I will let Jing'an turn a blind eye."
"Your Majesty, Jing'an is the legitimate princess of Daqing. I really cannot accept asking her to be the second wife of Marquis Zhaoyuan." Queen Xiao was still very unhappy.
"Then tell me, with her appearance, which of those families with a little official position in the capital would be willing to marry her as their principal wife?" Emperor Qingyuan said a little annoyedly: "You can't ask me to issue an edict and force those families to marry her."
"Your Majesty," Empress Xiao wanted to say more, but Emperor Qingyuan waved her hand to stop her: "I'll have someone call Jing'an. I want to talk to Jing'an in person."
In Yuxiu Palace, Princess Jing'an was holding Xiaobai in one hand and reading a medical book in the other when a palace maid walked in and said, "Princess, someone from the Emperor's palace wants you to come over."
Princess Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then put down the medical book, handed Xiaobai to the palace maid beside her, and turned to walk out of the palace.
In Yanghe Palace, Emperor Qingyuan glanced at Princess Jing'an, whose face was covered by a veil, and sighed, saying, "I have just discussed your marriage with your mother, and now I want to talk to you in person."
After a pause, Emperor Qingyuan continued, "Father knows that letting you marry into the Zhaoyuan Marquis's mansion is a bit unfair to you, but you also have to think about your own appearance."
"Father..." Princess Jing'an wanted to speak, but was stopped by Emperor Shengyuan. "Your mother said you don't want to get married anymore. Jing'an, you must think carefully. If you miss this marriage, there won't be another suitable one."
"Father, Mother," Jing'an called out, then stretched out a hand and slowly removed the veil from her face.
As the veil was removed, a stunningly beautiful face was revealed.
"Jing'an, your face..." Emperor Qingyuan and Empress Xiao shouted almost at the same time.
Queen Xiao suddenly stood up from her chair, walked to Princess Jing'an, and looked at her face carefully.
There is now only a faintly visible red mark on one side of Princess Jing'an's face. If she puts on more makeup, it should be completely invisible.
"Jing'an, is your face... okay?" Queen Xiao could hardly believe her eyes.
"Okay, mother," Princess Jing'an nodded and said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Emperor Qingyuan laughed loudly, and stood up from the dragon throne. He walked up to Princess Jing'an and said, "Your Majesty, I never thought that Jing'an could be so beautiful. I wonder which expert treated your face like this?"
Jing'an thought for a moment and said to Emperor Qingyuan, "Father, I researched a prescription myself and cured my face by accident."
Having grown up in the palace, Jing'an knew well how dangerous it was, so she did not reveal Jindou's name to avoid involving her in the palace struggles.
"Oh, so that's it." Emperor Qingyuan also knew that Princess Jing'an was learning medicine from Imperial Physician Zhao, so he believed it without a doubt.
