"How preposterous!" "When the empress dowager heard Ling Yexuan's words, her voice became stern. Qin Feng's courage was too great! You actually dare to let someone marry into the Palace on your behalf! "

"Grandmother, the matter has already come to this. If we were to punish Qin Feng's crimes, I'm afraid that it will hurt the heart of the Humble Class maester. Furthermore, the matter of his grandson and Shu Yi was not a secret in the first place. Your grandson thought that he should temporarily put this matter aside so that the wangfei could recognize Qin Xing as her foster father. In a way, you can be considered as Miss Qin. "

"I'll follow your plan for the time being!" The empress dowager's gaze stopped on Ling Yexuan's face for a moment before she sighed softly. After a few days, they would announce the death of the princess, correct the Miss Jing Er, or choose another Chief Consort. That woman, if you're willing to keep her, you can let her be your concubine! "Such a woman of unknown origins cannot be the legal wife, not to mention the future, she will need a mother …"

Qin Nuo suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed onto Peaches' hands.

"Peaches, you're back!" How are you? Are you alright? "

"I'm fine!" "Peaches immediately smiled at Qin Nuo. However, Young Noble told me to wait until everything was settled before returning! "

"Is everything all right now?" Qin Nuo asked anxiously.

"It's done!" Without waiting for Peaches to speak, an ice-cold voice took over Qin Nuo's words.

Qin Nuo looked up and saw that Ling Yexuan had also returned. He was sitting on a chair and drinking tea. Facing Qin Nuo's anxious questioning gaze, Ling Yexuan's eyes flashed with a light. He put down the teacup and secretly took a deep breath.

"Thank you!" Qin Nuo and Ling Yexuan looked at each other for a moment, and said softly. His eyes were firm and her face was calm. She knew that everything had been settled!

"No need!" Ling Yexuan said indifferently. Tomorrow, we'll be entering the palace. Later, there will be a mama coming to discuss the rules of the palace with the wangfei. "

"I would like to see brother and... "Cousin." Qin Nuo hesitated, but still called out. She knew that it was definitely because Big Brother and Tang Mo didn't want to cause her trouble that they thought of the term "cousin".

"It's not too late to return from the palace." Ling Yexuan frowned slightly. "There are other things that we need to do when we get back."

"Also …" "What is it?" Qin Nuo was a little perturbed in her heart. If she didn't see her brother and Tang Mo, she wouldn't be able to rest at ease.

Ling Yexuan didn't say a word as he swept his eyes across the peaches. Peaches lowered her head and left.

"Acknowledged Prime Minister Qin as my foster father." Ling Yexuan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Why bother!" Qin Nuo didn't even think as she blurted out. If Miss Qin comes back and is willing to enter the manor, you can bring her into the manor. "If you are unwilling, you can find whatever reason you want. Just let her go!"

However, the possibility of Qin Muxue entering the palace was not high, if not, she would not have ran away from home back then!

"And then?" Ling Yexuan asked lightly, but his eyes were staring straight at Qin Nuo.

"What then?" Qin Nuo was stunned, she did not understand what Ling Yexuan meant!

Ling Yexuan sneered.

"This King has spent so much effort, it's not to divorce you! You'd better know what's good for you and stop being so self-righteous! Otherwise, don't blame This King for going back on his word! The lives of your two brothers and the Qin family are in this king's hands! "

"Miss Jing Er is the prince's sweetheart, and many people know that no matter whose family's daughter the prince is marrying, they will not dare to do anything to her! Why should I bear this false name? " Qin Nuo advised softly. Moreover, Prince can marry Miss Jing Er to another Chief Consort. "

Ling Yexuan's gaze turned cold, his hand unconsciously clenching into a fist.

"Princess Hua-Yang is so considerate!" However, other people do not have the right to decide this duke's business! "

The palanquin finally stopped at the Shanning Palace where the empress dowager resided. Qin Nuo was feeling a little apprehensive. Although the Nanny Liang had already told her the rules yesterday, this was her first time entering the palace, not to mention that the empress dowager was more forceful, not like the empress or someone easy to talk to.

Carrying Ming Liu's hands, she got out of the palanquin and looked to the side. Ling Yexuan was already standing there waiting for her.

"Don't be nervous, Grandmother loves me so much. She will definitely not make things difficult for you!" Ling Yexuan said softly.

Seeing that his gaze was fixated on her face, she lowered her eyes to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and smiled at him.

"What do I have to be nervous about! Your Highness, don't think too much. "

Ling Yexuan sighed silently. He knew that this woman wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. Although she wouldn't show off her edge or be taken advantage of, she would still be a soft knife user! He wasn't worried about her being bullied, he was only worried that his grandmother wouldn't like her!

"Your Highness, Empress, Esteemed Empress Dowager will invite you in." A hymen walked in front of the two and greeted them.

Ling Yexuan's brows twitched, as his grandmother actually sent an unknown hymen out! When he had come alone in the past, only his grandmother had attended to him!

However, Qin Nuo did not know about this. Her smile was appropriate, her steps were steady, and there was a newbie's bashfulness in her eyes. His heart relaxed a little, but she could not help but silently curse. This woman really knew how to disguise herself!

Her Majesty was sipping her tea slowly when she saw the two enter. She put down her cup and looked at them with a kind smile.

"Greetings, Royal Grandmother." Ling Yexuan hurriedly bowed to the empress dowager.

"Greetings Esteemed Empress Dowager!" Qin Nuo also followed suit and bowed.

Ling Yexuan's pupils darkened as he turned around to look at Qin Nuo. Nanny Liang was a proud person beside his mother, she would definitely not harm this woman. She had purposely let her be presumptuous in front of her grandmother. But not only did this woman not call herself Grandmother, she did not call herself "Grandmother" like she usually did, and instead called herself "Esteemed Empress Dowager"!

"Get up!" "Her Majesty only smiled, not showing the slightest bit of anger on her face." "A gift."

The two thanked the Empress Dowager and sat down.

"Grandmother's complexion is getting better and better, but she's getting younger and younger!" Ling Yexuan laughed and said.

"I just came to see me yesterday, yet you dare to say such words again today. You sure know how to coax an old fool like me!" The empress dowager smiled as she looked at Ling Yexuan, not calling herself "This Dowager". "This grandson of hers, she had been intimate with him since she was young. She knows very well what he's thinking." Your brothers are all here, so don't just sit here with me, go and talk to them. "

As if unaware of his gaze, Qin Nuo only smiled at the empress dowager.

Ling Yexuan frowned, he could only get up and leave.

"Xuan'er is rather nervous of you." The empress dowager's lips curved into a faint smile. If you can love each other and respect each other, I am relieved. "

Qin Nuo smiled, but just as she was about to speak, the Empress Dowager opened her mouth.

"Ming Hui, bring these two girls to the side hall for some tea. You... You can all leave now! " The following words were spoken to the palace maids who were silently serving them.

"Yes sir!" The palace maids were convinced and quickly retreated.

Ming Liu and Ying He quietly looked at each other, submitted: "Thank you, Nanny Wu."

Seeing that she and the empress dowager were the only two people left in the room after everyone had left, Qin Nuo stood up and bent his knees slightly towards the empress dowager.

"Does Esteemed Empress Dowager have any orders?"

"You're a good one!" "The empress dowager stared at Qin Nuo and spoke at a steady pace. But, in front of the servants, you do not call me Royal Grandmother, but you want everyone to know, aren't you the proper Princess Rui? "

Qin Nuo heard the empress dowager's words and his heart thumped. This Esteemed Empress Dowager was indeed a powerful being.

"I don't dare!" Qin Nuo returned to his seat with a light smile. This humble daughter only feels that Esteemed Empress Dowager would not like this humble daughter calling you Royal Grandmother. "

"At least you know your own limits!" The empress dowager had a smile on her face, but her sharp gaze was fixed on Qin Nuo. Even if King Rui had mentioned it, that was not your intention. But no matter what, your birth is not suitable for you to be a Princess Rui. This Dowager has already made it clear to Prince Rui that if you don't want to leave the manor, you should just stay by his side and be his concubine! "

"Esteemed Empress Dowager has thought it through!" Qin Nuo's expression did not change. It's just that this humble woman is not willing to stay in the Duke Palaces, so I ask Esteemed Empress Dowager to think of a plan as soon as possible. "

"Oh?" A look of surprise flashed across the empress dowager's face. This was somewhat out of This Dowager's expectations. However, since you want to do this, that's for the best. This Dowager also does not wish for King Rui to have someone by his side who doesn't know what is going on! "

Hearing this, Qin Nuo slowly stood up and bowed to the empress dowager.

"This humble girl thanks the empress dowager for her consent!"

The empress dowager's face still carried the same kind and appropriate smile, as she faintly nodded towards Qin Nuo.

"This Dowager is really worried about meeting someone who likes to climb higher than others! I didn't expect you to understand so well! I understand what you mean, Xuan'er is a prince, and he belongs to me, so it shouldn't be hard to persuade him. It's just that This Dowager wasn't able to think of a way to make both of them work, and since the lateral consort is about to enter the palace, let's wait a little longer!

"Yes sir!" Qin Nuo replied with a smile, as she lowered her eyes and sat down.

With Her Majesty's words, she felt slightly more at ease. Although the empress dowager was not the emperor's biological mother, nor Ling Yexuan's biological grandmother, she was still highly respected. Under normal circumstances, they would not disobey her orders!
