"Ah for what!"

Concubine Han glanced at her angrily: "I know that noble ladies from aristocratic families like you look down on people like me who rely on their nepotism to make a fortune. I was just confused for a moment and just said it casually."

Chu Yan really didn't look down on nobles from a poor family, but it was Concubine Han's younger brother Han Kui who impressed her deeply.

When I was in Yihongyuan, I was like a child who hadn't grown up. On the first night when I was competing with Li Han to buy Shen Yin, I made a lot of harsh words, and finally shut up in despair.

Furthermore, the Han family had no real power except in name, and was entirely supported by Concubine Han, which was not a consideration for her.

But these words cannot be said directly to Concubine Han.

Chu Yan said: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. The Chu family is not an aristocratic family. My daughter's father also came from a poor family. He became what he is today because of his outstanding military exploits. My daughter has been influenced by her since she was a child and wants to marry an upright man. The how is not what matters.”

Concubine Han choked when she heard this. She thought about her brother's unsatisfactory appearance, and coughed slightly with a guilty conscience: "My brother, it's okay to be reluctant, right?"

At the end of the sentence, she didn't have the confidence, so she changed the subject with a dry smile and said: "Oh, you have only been in the capital for a short time, and you have time to get married. Try on these pink clothes again."

Chu Yan followed her as she changed the topic and tried on some clothes.

When returning from Concubine Han, Chu Yan took a box of clothes with her.

Aunt Xin looked at her and hesitated to speak.

Chu Yan whispered: "Auntie, just say whatever you want."

Aunt Xin hesitated for a while and said: "Concubine Han is right in what she said. When the princess first arrives in the capital, she can take her time to get married. There is no need to rush."

Chu Yan sighed: "Actually, I didn't think about it. It will be settled soon. After all, even if we know each other well, and even if we like each other, we still have to get along with each other for a while."

She didn't know whether it was because she had poor vision or bad luck. Why did she see each one shattered and the other more outrageous and more chilling than the last.

Compared with Li Ze, Li Han is considered good. At least he just has no principles, has soft ears and is lustful. Well, he is still a girly boy.

Aunt Xin looked at her and said, "Actually, if we wait another year..."

"One year?" Chu Yan quickly shook his head when he heard this: "No, it's too long."

It will be April in two days, and at the end of the year it will be the time when all the ministers return to the capital to report on their duties. As the only king with a different surname, my father naturally has to come.

His Majesty has already harbored evil thoughts towards Pingyang Palace, and the end of the year report is the best time to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

My father was a loyal and filial man. One thing he often said was that without Emperor Cheng'en, there would be no King Pingyang. If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.

Chu Yan really didn't understand how the ambitious and meritorious king his father said could turn into such a dim-witted and promiscuous person.

Everyone has accepted His Majesty's change, but my father is still immersed in the past, hoping that His Majesty will repent.

Aunt Xin sighed after hearing this. There were some things that they, the bystanders, could not worry about.

However, according to His Highness's stingy spirit, he was on guard before anything happened. If the princess really had to get engaged by the end of the year, the betrothal could only be with him, and only with him.

After all, he is a young lady, and he is very persistent!

Thinking of this, Aunt Xin suddenly laughed: "Princess, please remember the way to the palace."

Chu Yan felt that she should really remember that the Queen was very good to her and would definitely come to the palace again in the future. She couldn't let Aunt Xin accompany her every time.

He just said yes and followed me obediently to remember the way.

Early the next morning, just as Chu Yan had finished worshiping the Buddha with Queen Tan, Princess Ning arrived.

Knowing the old story between her and the Queen, Chu Yan was always worried that when Princess Ning met the Queen, sparks would fly and all sorts of strange things would happen.

However, it turns out that she really thought too much.

Princess Ning knelt down and saluted: "I, my concubine, see you, the Queen."

Queen Tan glanced at her and said calmly: "No courtesy."

"Thank you, Queen."

Princess Ning stood up and said: "I'm here today to take Yan'er back to the house. A few days ago, I was confused and made Yan'er suffer. Please rest assured, this matter will be decided in the future." It won't happen again."

Queen Tan snorted softly: "I hope Princess Ning has really figured it out. Yan'er is an excellent girl, knowledgeable, sensible and kind-hearted. Not only this palace, but also Concubine Han also loves her. Although she is alone In the capital, it’s not like no one cares.”

Concubine Han?

Princess Ning glanced at Chu Yan in surprise.

Concubine Han was famously jealous, and the most intolerable thing was her good looks. How could she be so fond of Chu Yan?

Princess Ning remained calm and said, "What the Queen said is that in the past few days, I have deeply reflected on my mistakes. From now on, I will definitely treat Yan'er well."

Queen Tan actually had no way to control Princess Ning, and the only one who could control her was Prince Ning.

Fortunately, Yin'er is in Prince Ning's Mansion and will not let Chu Yan really suffer.

Queen Tan looked at Chu Yan and said, "What do you think of Yan'er?"

Chu Yan glanced at Princess Ning timidly and said, "Before coming to Beijing, my mother and concubine repeatedly told Yan'er that she must treat the princess as her own aunt. In fact, my aunt treats Yan'er very well, but maybe because of I love Yan'er too much, so I was a little too sad to give up on the marriage, and I got distracted for the moment."

"Yan'er believes that her aunt is just impulsive. She also wants to become a real family with Yan'er so much that she is like this. Yan'er is willing to go back home with her aunt. Yan'er has forgotten what happened before, and so has her aunt. ?”

When Princess Ning heard this, she breathed again in her chest.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, she loves her so much!

She liked her so much that she would flatter her face while squeezing her and disgusting her, making her unable to say anything wrong!

Princess Ning took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Yan'er is so well-behaved and sensible. It was my aunt's fault in the past. We will definitely be fine in the future."

"Yes!" Chu Yan nodded heavily, looked at Queen Tan and said, "Thanks to the Queen for her love these days, Yan'er will often visit the Queen in the palace."

Princess Ning's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she said bluntly that she would go to the palace to complain!

Empress Tan smiled and took her hand, patting her gently: "Even if you don't come, I will send someone to pick you up from time to time."

Seeing their expressions of deep love, the smile on Princess Ning's face became stiffer and stiffer. She endured it for a while before she said, "Yan'er, it's getting late for us to go back. Your uncle is still waiting at the house. "

After hearing this, Chu Yan reluctantly said goodbye to Queen Tan.

She came with nothing else, but when she returned, she brought two large boxes full. One box was filled with clothes given by Concubine Han, and the other box was filled with items given by Queen Tan.

Although she repeatedly refused, Empress Tan still forced her to take it.
