Chapter 1278 - 1278: Marriage!

Translator: Lonelytree

Consort Liu De remained silent when Yuwen Ling questioned her why she didn’t help her.

After Yuwen Ling vented her anger and dissatisfaction, she felt weak all over and returned to her bedroom with a dejected expression.

Once they returned to the palace, Granny Liu comforted Consort Liu, saying,” Madam, don’t be angry. The princess was angry at you for a moment. After she calmed down, she would definitely feel sorry and come over to apologize to Madam.”

Consort Liu shook her head. “Nanny. Ling ‘er is mv daughter. Why would I be angry with her? It’s just that I…” She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start.

Nanny Liu looked at Consort Liu De’s expression and immediately guessed that Consort Liu De might have something difficult to say. She asked,” Consort

Liu, what’s on your mind?”

Consort Liu looked at Granny Liu and sighed.

“Could it be about the princess?” Granny Liu looked at Consort Liu and asked in surprise.

Consort Liu De nodded.” That’s right. Nanny, last time, Ling ‘er went to His

Majesty to ask for a marriage between her and the Great General.”

Granny Liu nodded.” I remember! But didn’t His Majesty reject it?” According to the Emperor’s love for Jiang Zhennan, as long as Jiang Zhennan was unwilling to marry the ninth princess, the Emperor would definitely reject her.

Consort Liu De said with a worried expression,” However, that day when I went to the royal study to look for His Majesty, 1 happened to see the Great General and a woman walking out of His Majesty’s royal study from afar. That woman is stunning and beautiful. Our Ling ‘er can’t compare to her at all.”

It was not that she wanted to belittle her daughter, but anyone who had seen that woman would say the same thing.

Granny Liu did not expect such a thing to happen. She said in surprise,” Is it because that woman is more beautiful than the princess that the general rejected the princess?”

Between beauty and power, any man would choose the latter.

After all, after gaining power, one could have all kinds of beauty.

However, the opportunity to obtain power was not something that came easily.

Consort Liu shook her head and said,” It’s not like that, Nanny! His Majesty values that woman even more than the Great General!”

“Ah?” Granny Liu was puzzled.

Consort Liu saw Nanny Liu’s puzzled look and immediately reminded her,” Nanny, have you forgotten that the woman has been adopted by His Majesty and conferred the title of Princess Guguo? Don’t tell me you don’t know the meaning of the title of Princess of Guguo.”

When Granny Liu heard this, she immediately said with some dissatisfaction,”

That woman only knows how to produce some crops. Just because of this, His

Majesty conferred her the title of Princess Guguo. Isn’t that a little too much?”

“Shut up!” Consort Liu immediately shouted sternly. She then looked around and saw that there were no outsiders other than her trusted aides in the bedroom. She felt slightly relieved and sternly said to Nanny Liu,” Nanny, how can you doubt His Majesty’s imperial edict? If what you said just now were to spread, you should know what the consequences would be, right?”

Nanny Liu was just angry and said a few words casually, but when she reacted, she immediately covered her mouth. Hearing Consort Liu’s scolding, she immediately said,” Your Majesty, this old servant knows her mistake!”

Consort Liu sighed.” Nanny, you are a senior in the palace. You should know the rules of the palace. I know that you speak without thinking because you feel sorry for Ling Er. No matter how that woman obtained her status as the Princess Guguo, it’s not something we can question!”

Nanny Liu was a senior in the palace, so she must be very strict with her words and actions.

However, Yuwen Ling was not only the treasure of Consort Liu De’s heart but also hers.

She followed Consort Liu De into the palace and was destined to be unable to get married. She would have no children. Thus, Yuwen Ling was like her daughter.

Now, Yuwen Ling was depressed all day because of Jiang Zhennan. She even went crazy. Her heart ached.

Consort Liu stared at Nanny Liu for a moment, then sighed heavily and said,”

Nanny, I know you love Ling ‘er very much. However, we can’t indulge Ling ‘er now. Otherwise…” Her eyes were filled with heartache, but more than that, she was angry.

“Otherwise, what?” Granny Liu asked doubtfully.

Consort Liu De said resentfully,” His Majesty warned me that if she continues to be willful, he will arrange a political marriage for her!”
