Chapter 9

Mistakenly Made A Consort

Heart heavy with thoughts, the w.a.n.gfei stand up from kneeling and receive the edict, instructing Rong Mama to reward the eunuch.  Xi Yan supports her on her arm and feels the unsuppressable tremor in her hand.

“Yan Er—–“ the w.a.n.gfei finally calls out her name, looking at her while wrinkling her brows.

“Mother-“ Xi Yan cut off her mother, knowing what she is about to say.  Her mother probably could not bear to marry her off to Ye Kingdom and is probably intending to beg for the emperor’s grace.

But, is such grace really possible?

“Daughter knows Mother cannot bear to let daughter to marry off to the far Ye Kingdom, but Father suddenly pa.s.sed, if daughter does not go to form connection in Ye Kingdom, will it be more beneficial or harmful to our w.a.n.gfu?”

Xi Yan gently hold her mother hands and escort her to sit in a couch.  She scoops up a spoonful of porridge from inside the bowl and gently blows on it before bringing it to her mother’s lips.  “Mother, daughter does not have the slightest complain when it comes to marrying into Ye Kingdom.  Mother know daughter’s heart has high aspirations.  Only a dragonly being can match daughter.  Even though the Ye Emperor is not the kind of husband I can have exclusively to myself,  I am willing to entrust myself to him till the day I die.  Moreover, daughter is marrying into Ye Kingdom as a princess of Xun Kingdom to strengthen the two countries’ relations, the Ye Emperor will definitely favor daughter.”

After Xi Yan said that, she lowers her head as her mother drink the porridge, suppressing the emotions in her eyes.

Now that her father pa.s.sed, the w.a.n.gfu no longer has a backing.  Her second brother on the other hand is injured.  Such a big house, one careless move and everything will crumble.  That’s why she has to marry into Ye Kingdom.  To protect her family using the Ye Emperor’s status.

Even though this is a bad plan, this is also the only plan.

“Yan Er, actually Mother is reluctant to let you go.  Reluctant to—“  the w.a.n.gfei’s voice chokes up again, “You have to know, the road to the back palace is perilous.  Even though I cannot bear to let you marry to Ye Kingdom, your father supported the Emperor’s decision.  You going to Ye Kingdom by yourself, if anything happens, what would Mother do?”

Actually, marrying into Ye Kingdom may perhaps be a good thing for her.

“Mother, as long as you and second brother are well, daughter will take care of herself properly.  Don’t tell me Mother still does not trust daughter after all these time?”
