Chapter 233 Xuan Kingdom Proposes Marriage to Qin Wanying
Qin Xingyuan showed no obvious change in expression.
In his eyes, this was something he had expected.
Every time my younger sister mentions the Crown Prince, her expression subtly changes.
He could tell that his younger sister liked the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince also has feelings for his younger sister, so it's only a matter of time before they get together.
It was hard to tell whether Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong were happy or sad.
My daughter is getting married, and to the crown prince no less.
Will my daughter be happy in the future?
Moreover, Wan Yue had just gotten married and moved to Yunze, and now Wan Ying was leaving again...
Unlike other imperial decrees, in the time of Emperor Yao, the date of a marriage was very important, and a bestowed marriage also required the selection of an auspicious day.
Especially for the Crown Prince's wedding, the Emperor was even more cautious and instructed the Imperial Observatory to select the nearest auspicious day to issue an imperial edict, which would be seven days later.
-----------------
The Yan family heard the news.
He intended to get rid of Qin Wanying, and if he couldn't, he would at least try to sow discord between her and the Crown Prince.
Now, however, she is about to become the Crown Princess.
What will happen to their grand undertaking if things continue like this?
Yan Danyang sat in the chair, at a loss for what to do.
Yan Yuelan walked over and smiled slightly at her father: "Father, don't worry, Dongqian has already made arrangements. Xuan Kingdom will propose to marry Princess Shenji, and the envoy will arrive tomorrow."
Xiao Dongqian and Xuan Guo did not have any close relationship.
However, by using a little trick, someone told the ruler of Xuan Kingdom that Da Yao had a princess named Shenji, who was beautiful, charming, and resourceful. He said that if Xuan Kingdom could marry her, it would surely have a long and prosperous reign.
If we take Qin Wanying to Xuan Kingdom, it will be easier to kill her on the way.
"If we refuse at that time, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and then the emperor will not be able to refuse."
The Xuan Kingdom was also afraid of not being able to marry Princess Shenji, so they did not announce their marriage proposal in advance. They wanted to come and make the proposal in person so that the emperor could not refuse.
Yan Danyang found these words quite ingenious.
The two were plotting something inside the house when a person stood outside the window with his mouth agape.
It was Kang Qiu.
Previously, Kang Qiu's son was on the verge of death when he was saved by a girl from Tianji Garden. Kang Qiu promised the girl that he would infiltrate the Yan family and share any intelligence with her.
Later, after a long time, she overheard at the Yan residence that the girl was actually Qin Wanying, the second young lady of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion, who was now known as Princess Shenji.
She felt ashamed, having infiltrated the Yan family for so long without obtaining any useful information.
She was originally a laundry maid and was not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. Today, however, a maid in the inner courtyard asked for leave, so she came in to collect the clothes that needed to be washed.
As I was leaving, I happened to pass by the window and overheard this secret.
This matter concerns the girl; no, I must tell her myself.
Kang Qiu left in a hurry and returned to the outer courtyard. Only after entering her room did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no one noticed.
But how can I tell the girl this information?
The girl's bodyguards only came to see her every few days, and she couldn't contact them on her own initiative.
That night, martial law was imposed at the Yan residence, and the servants were not allowed to leave the residence at will.
Kang Qiu was at a loss for words.
The two of them just said that the envoy from Xuan Kingdom will be arriving tomorrow, so they must pass on the message to the young lady today.
Pretending to be sick? There's a physician in the manor; even if you pretend to be sick, you can't get out.
what can we do about it!
Suddenly, Kang Qiu heard a noise outside.
"What kind of junk is this? I paid money, and you're trying to fool me with this?" The voice belonged to Yan Cheng, and it sounded like he had been drinking.
Kang Qiu went outside and saw Yan Cheng in the yard, pointing at a cart of goods and cursing loudly.
“Husband, it’s getting late. Let’s deal with this tomorrow…” Chen Ling Shuang advised Yan Cheng from the side.
"Slap!" A slap landed on Chen Ling Shuang's face. Chen Ling Shuang covered her face and looked at Yan Cheng with suppressed anger.
This wasn't the first time she had been beaten.
She regretted marrying into the Yan family more and more.
She regretted breaking off the engagement with Qin Yonghua that day, and she regretted getting involved with Yan Cheng.
Now she has married the wrong person, her father's family is ashamed of her, and they refuse to care about her because she is not doing well in the Yan family.
"If you hadn't offended Qu Wanyi, would she be making things difficult for me at every turn?" Yan Cheng cursed.
Yan Cheng lost his status as the eldest son of the family and was impeached for adultery in court, resulting in the loss of his official position. Now he manages the Yan family's shops and is currently engaged in the cloth business.
Qu Wanyi also runs some shops, and because she dislikes Chen Ling Shuang, she will go against Yan Cheng.
The goods delivered today are of poor quality; I suspect Qu Wanyi is behind it again.
Today, the shop was under renovation, so the deliveryman brought the goods directly to the Yan residence. Yan Cheng went out drinking during the day and didn't return until evening. When he saw the goods in this state, he was immediately displeased.
Chen Ling Shuang stood silently to the side, saying nothing.
Yan Cheng said, "Return these things to me today, and don't let them get in my way!"
"Yes," the servant replied obediently, though inwardly he was groaning.
The young master has had too much to drink. Where can we go to get a refund now? All the shops are closed.
I can only send the item out first and return it to them tomorrow morning.
Kang Qiu secretly watched the scene before her, her eyes lighting up.
If this car is going out, I might be able to hide inside and sneak out with it.
Yan Cheng and Chen Ling Shuang both went back, and the servant in charge of the goods also went to prepare.
It was pitch black and there was no one around.
The shadow guards in the manor don't patrol all the time. Kang Qiu timed it perfectly; she's hiding behind the car now, so she shouldn't get caught.
Kang Qiu tiptoed closer to the carriage, lifted the curtain covering the goods at the back, and lay down on the soft fabric beneath him.
Then the curtain was put on.
This behavior can be described as extremely bold.
Once she's discovered, there's no one who can save her; she's finished.
But for the girl, let's take a gamble.
The servant returned, riding a horse, and it seemed he had brought someone with him; delivering goods required two people to go together.
As they spurred their horse forward, the servant sensed something was amiss.
"Judging from the horse's condition, it seems to be struggling. What's wrong?" the servant asked.
Kang Qiu held her breath nervously, wondering if she was about to be discovered!
"The horses probably ate too much last night. We'll feed them less next time," another person said. Judging from the voice, it was another delivery boy.
The two men didn't get off to check; they simply drove the carriage away.
Kang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't let his guard down and didn't dare to breathe too loudly inside.
After the carriage had been traveling for half a day, we finally arrived.
It was a cold night, and Kang Qiu was shivering. She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to put on her coat.
The carriage stopped, and the two servants were complaining.
"How could the door be open so late? Young master, you really are something, insisting that we deliver it out at night."
What follows is a long wait.
Kang Qiu felt like he was freezing to death, but going down now would make too much noise and they would definitely be discovered.
About an hour later, Kang Qiu heard a servant say:
"We'll have to wait. I need to go take a break first."
