Hearing Wei Bingyan's decisive words, the strange and irregular wrinkles at the corners of the empress dowager's eyes slowly relaxed, and the smile in her eyes deepened, "Oh? Why is it not good? Is it Li Yuyan who is not good, or is it Princess Su Yan who is not good?"

Wei Bingyan looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment, and was very angry at herself for saying it out loud. She whispered softly, "Princess Su Yan is fine..."

"That's Li Yuyan's fault. What's wrong with him?" the Empress Dowager asked again.

"He...he..." Wei Bingyan couldn't say anything bad about Li Yuyan. In the eyes of others, he was a scholar with outstanding talent and the most talented scholar in the capital. He was the youngest and most promising Lord Li in the court. He was not the abominable bastard who always flirted with her like a gangster and even sneaked into her inner room in the dead of night. "He is not a good match for Princess Su Yan."

"Then what do you think is the daughter of a rich family in the capital who is suitable for him?" the empress dowager asked with a smile.

Fortunately, she didn't ask how it didn't match, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to answer, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, this... should be asked to Lord Li."

"I heard from others that Li Yuyan already has a lady he likes." said the Empress Dowager.

Wei Bingyan thought to herself deep in her heart, since you, old man, already know that he has a sense of belonging in his heart, why did you still bring up the idea of ​​arranging an engagement for him to Princess Su Yan?

"What do you mean?" Wei Bingyan asked carefully.

“Your Majesty has agreed to grant Li Yuyan a marriage, but which girl… I don’t understand, and I don’t know when the decree will be issued.” The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Bingyan’s face with a faint smile in her eyes.

Wei Bingyan blushed slightly. Did Li Yuyan leave the capital to work for His Majesty, just to ask His Majesty to grant him a marriage?

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I think you don't know either, so I won't ask you. On the contrary, Princess Su Yan... I think she is not bad, and Your Majesty also likes her deeply. I don't know whether you will arrange a marriage for her in the future."

These words made Wei Bingyan feel nervous again. His Majesty still didn't know who to marry Li Yuyan. Maybe it would be Princess Su Yan?

The Empress Dowager stopped talking and left the conversation here, pulling Wei Bingyan aside to talk about the complicated matters at home.

Not long after, a young palace maid came in to report that the Queen had come to pay her respects and Princess Su Yan had also arrived.

Wei Bingyan raised her head and looked at her. She felt a little relieved deep down when she thought of what Li Yuyan had said before, that he had no idea who Princess Su Yan was. However, this sudden change of emotions made her heart beat up and down.

What is she nervous about? What is she worried about?

Didn't she always feel that it was none of her business who Li Yuyan married? Why did she just casually say it was not good when the Queen Mother asked her, and then became uneasy when she heard that there was a possibility that His Majesty would grant him a marriage?

Did I care about him so much without realizing it?

Wei Bingyan thought of what he said that day, and felt a surge of heat deep in her heart. His feelings...

In fact, she had already begun to believe in him and was looking forward to it without knowing when.

Wei Bingyan was deeply immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the Queen's vague glance towards her. This look was different from the last time, and was much colder.

Princess Su Yan said something unknown, but the Empress Dowager just laughed slightly.

Wei Bingyan reacted quickly, just in time to meet the empress's dull eyes. She straightened her body and frowned slightly. She didn't dare to continue to be absent. The empress was not in a good mood with her, probably because of the prince...

After sitting for a while, Wei Bingyan felt that she was staying there for too long, so she stood up, bowed and said goodbye to the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager smiled and asked her to come to the palace more often to accompany her. After that, she didn't say anything else and let Wei Bingyan leave the palace.

Wei Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, she felt a lot of pressure. Moreover, there was also Princess Su Yan who clearly had deep ill will towards her.

Wei Bingyan quickly left Fulu Palace and wanted to go home as soon as possible. However, before she stepped out of the harem, a maid from Concubine Lu De stopped her and said that Concubine Lu De had something to say to her.

She didn't want to meet Concubine Lu De, but she couldn't seem to find an excuse to refuse, so she had to follow the little palace maid and appear in Concubine Lu De's palace.

As soon as she walked into the spacious main hall, she saw a child in his teens rushing out and almost bumping into Wei Bingyan. Fortunately, the little palace maid nearby was quick-witted and pulled Wei Bingyan away, so that she was not knocked down by the violent collision.

Apart from the Seventh Prince, which other child would dare to run wildly along this road? Wei Bingyan looked over and, as expected, saw a round and cute face with a pair of dark eyes looking at her.

"Seventh Prince." She bowed and saluted to the Seventh Prince.

"You are..." The Seventh Prince frowned and looked at Wei Bingyan strangely, "It's you! Didn't the flying man come with you?"

Wei Bingyan replied with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Who is the Seventh Prince talking about?"

In fact, she knew that the Seventh Prince was talking about Guan Hualang. Last time, Guan Hualang and Mingyue had a misunderstanding in the Huguo Temple, and the Seventh Prince was watching from the side. When he saw Guan Hualang performing the flying technique in the rockery, he thought that he could fly. After returning to the palace, he always wanted to find Guan Hualang and fly for him to see. Now so much time has passed, and she thought he had forgotten... but she didn't expect that he still remembered.

"That's your senior brother!" the Seventh Prince called out, "I heard you call him senior brother."

Wei Bingyan was speechless for a while, and then she replied, "My senior brother is not in the capital."

"When will he come back? Take me to find him next time!" said the Seventh Prince.

"Okay, aren't you going to your father's place? Why don't you hurry over there?" Before Wei Bingyan could find an excuse to reject the Seventh Prince's request, she heard Concubine Lu De's voice coming from behind.
