At the Winter Palace banquet, the empress was dignified and proper.

Today, the empress's every move in the empress's palace was full of schemes.

Gu Mingyan's chin was lifted, but he was actually able to look at the beauty in front of him, and naturally categorized her into Gu Ziyan's group. After all, there were some women who were used to disguising themselves as virtuous and virtuous, always revealing their true colors in front of others to vent their anger.

And she, was the one who the Madam Liu's family of women could not get rid of.

"Only little sister Zi Yan is outstanding, Ming Yan can't be compared with her."

Only then did the empress withdraw her hand, glancing at her coldly. "The emperor called you over just now. What did you say?"

"His Majesty only told me about the infirmary and the medicine he took from the book I wrote earlier. His throat is much better now, so he wanted me to continue taking care of this matter and think of a way to cure his majesty's throat."

Lowering her head, Gu Mingyan did not even hesitate to speak, making the empress convinced.

No wonder she felt that the emperor's voice hadn't been as hoarse these past few days. So it was her who prescribed the medicine.

Raising her hand to remove the pearl from her head and shaking it, the Queen walked to the dressing table and sat down without looking at her.

"Then you must take this terrible thing seriously."

"Of course, Ming Yan will do that." Gu Mingyan looked at her a few more times, then thought of the words that the Emperor had said just now. He had no interest in talking to the Empress' Madam Liu anymore.

The empress paused for a moment before saying coldly, "You can go rest in the side chamber."

Indeed, it wasn't the empress who wanted to invite her to the palace today.

The emperor had probably called him in on behalf of the empress. Those concubines had looked at him the same way the empress looked at him now – at her rival.

Gu Mingyan went to the side hall to rest. There were many people waiting outside by the bedside waiting for him, but he also felt that the tall walls of the deep palace were extremely boring.

She was only a little girl, and these concubines regarded her as their enemy just because the Emperor had called her into the palace.

They didn't even think that she was engaged to the Seventh Prince.

Seeing the emperor today had solved the problem that had kept her in fear for the past few days, but the emperor did not know anything about this secret. She believed that in the future, even if she were to secretly help Xiao Qiran with some plans, it was not important.

The next day, she came out of the palace at noon. When she returned to the manor, Gu Zhiyuan and the Madam Liu both asked her what she had said.

She only said that the Emperor mentioned the matter of the infirmary and had her enter the palace to help with the treatment of her larynx, while the Empress had taught her some things.

With such a detailed explanation, even Madam Liu and Gu Zhiyuan were unable to find any fault with it, they let her go back to the Han Group Courtyard.

By the side, when Xiao Qiran heard she was called into the palace, he was in a state of panic for the entire night. When Xiao Qiran heard she was called into the palace, he panicked for the night.

Xiao Qiran had no choice but to enter the palace.

Before he could inquire further, he heard his royal father say, "Gu Mingyan is not a good man, it's hard for her to be his wife."

"Royal father, she and I are already engaged …"

"That marriage contract was just a joke. Now that you've returned safely, what you spoke of before was an unreasonable wedding!" The emperor glared angrily and immediately stood up, "Your mother didn't ask for you to be her emperor before she died. I can't watch you being toyed with and applauded by a woman. She works every step of the way. How can such a woman be placed by your pillow?"

"I don't know what father said to her, but the marriage agreement between us was already a matter for two people …"

Didn't he think that both of them would be thinking the same thing?

The emperor still could not tell if Gu Mingyan was guiding them intentionally or if they truly owed him a lot.

When he thought of Gu Mingyan's face, the emperor became more and more convinced that Gu Mingyan was doing this on purpose.

A beauty that could bring disaster upon others. Her face would probably make many men willing to be under her skirt.

No matter how calm he looked on the surface, no one could predict what was going on inside.

"She told me she didn't want to marry."

The Emperor spoke in a low voice.

Xiao Qiran's words were stuck in his throat.

"She told me that she owed you a debt of gratitude and would not do anything to harm you. But she is also unwilling to marry. "

It was true that she was unwilling to marry, but she was just unwilling to marry into a man other than Xiao Qiran.

Since he didn't want his son to marry such a scheming woman home, he naturally didn't mind lying about this matter.

However, Xiao Qiran only felt his heart slowly sink into the cold pond, without any ripples or sound.

He could only breathe slower and slower.

Even now, was she still unwilling to accept him?

Clenching his fists tightly, he did not notice the shock and impatience on the face of the white-haired eunuch beside him.

Moreover, Grand Commandant Meng wishes to send his eldest daughter, Meng Lanzheng, to your residence. Since Grand Commandant has matters to attend to and is far away from the Shengan, when Meng Lanhui returns from her travels, there will be no one in the residence. So, you should take care of her for a few days.

After saying all that, the emperor did not give Xiao Qiran the slightest chance to defend himself and told him to leave.

He had an arranged marriage with Gu Mingyan, but royal father couldn't wait and wanted to send the Grand Commandant's daughter to his residence.

And this Grand Commandant's daughter was one of the three great beauties of Shengan like Gu Ziyan.

Then, the Grand Commandant's daughter would be Dong Ri Mei. Her expression carried a bit of father's heroic spirit, but her disposition was as arrogant as her birth mother's, yet not annoying. She would even learn from Gu Ziyan, the Grand Commandant's beloved daughter.

He was actually two years older than Gu Mingyan. It was exactly in his early twenties, when already many people came to propose marriage and were rejected.

After Xiao Qiran left the palace, he mentioned this matter.

Shuang Hua was the first to stand out and disagree: "How could Big Miss say such words, I will ask for Your Highness."

"I'll talk to her about it in two days."

Xiao Qiran rubbed her forehead in pain, her mind was filled with the pitiful look on her face when she first came to the Seventh Prince Palace, as well as the viciousness of him threatening her with a cold gaze in front of his enemies, and the way she continued to cry in his arms, like a little kid.

There was even the earnest look on her face when she said that she wanted to write an marriage certificate.

Only she didn't have the appearance of not marrying.

It was unknown whether she spoke with a smile or was forced to do so by her royal father.

Shuang Hua brought a message for him to gather at the cruise liner two days later.

Gu Mingyan knew that he might be about to mention entering the palace, but he unconsciously wiped the corner of his lips.

That night, a kiss still fell upon her heart.

If this was his intention, perhaps she could also try to adapt to the flourishing Shengan.

Many people were guessing that Gu Mingyan had entered the palace, but she was just casually passing by for the next two days.

On the day that the cruise liner met, it drizzled with Shengan.

Shang Rong even specially prepared a paper umbrella for her.

"When they see this flower, they will be filled with joy and sorrow, and their tears will turn into smiles. The young miss hadn't shown her face in a few days, I hope she'll be happier today. "

"Shang Rong, oh Shang Rong, you are truly a caring person." Gu Mingyan immediately smiled widely.

Hopefully, it would be just like this flower, able to ease his anger and make him happy.
