Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Chapter 5 Hongli asks the emperor for a marriage decree. In this life, Qingying finally enters the 1

Hongli seemed to have heard nothing and took a step forward. A hint of determination flashed across his face. He looked at Qingying affectionately and said,

"Sister Qingying, I have known you for more than ten years. Don't you understand my feelings?"

The corners of Qingying's mouth were slightly raised, and she looked like she was smiling, but in fact, the smile did not reach her eyes. Acting? Who can't do that?

But in my previous life, all I wanted was to be with one person for the rest of my life, so naturally, my husband and I were sincere to each other, but he never understood how good I was.

Time seemed to pause after Hongli said this, and there seemed to be a sense of awkwardness in the silent air.

Qingying sighed slightly and said in a gentle tone

"Brother Hongli, it's not that Qingying doesn't understand, but Qingying is not worthy of the Fourth Prince's family background. Qingying doesn't want to be a concubine, nor does she want to live under the control of the wife, so she just wants to find an ordinary person and live a peaceful and stable life. Brother Hongli, please go back, A Ruo, let's go."

After Qingying finished speaking, she quickened her pace and immediately got on the carriage beside her.

Qingying knew Hongli's virtue. Now she was reborn but Hongli was not. He loved her deeply now, and his heart and eyes were filled with only her. If he really wanted to marry her, he would definitely ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage like he did in his previous life.

But this life is somewhat different from the previous one. Her aunt has not fallen, and the Ulanara family is still a prominent family. If Hongli insists on marrying her, the emperor will not refuse.

Besides, ever since the Third Prince fell, the dignitaries in the capital have been secretly plotting the bleak future of the Ulanara family. Now that the Fucha family is the only one in power, the Emperor may not necessarily grant himself to the Fourth Prince as his legitimate wife in order to suppress the new rising forces and maintain the stability of the imperial power.

In this life, she never wanted to be a concubine. Even after she became the empress, she was still inferior to Fucha.

-

Qingying gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the tall figure not far away who seemed to have not left yet. She sneered in her heart.

"Brother Hongli, you forced me to do this. I didn't want to move into your mansion in the first place. Now that we have come to this, let's settle it in the future..."

Qingying knew that Hongli would become the emperor in the future. If Hongli was willing to let her marry someone else, everyone would be happy.

But I have seen the current situation with my own eyes. Since Hongli is determined to marry me, I will just marry him.

But I don’t know what Hongli will feel when he finds out that he is no longer Qingying from his previous life.

Ah Ruo, who was standing by, twisted the handkerchief in her hand angrily and looked at Qingying.

"Princess, what's wrong with you lately? Didn't you like being with the Fourth Prince the most in the past? If you were to marry into the Fourth Prince's house, you would be much richer than the wife of a poor scholar!"

Qingying leaned lazily in the sedan chair, her eyes revealing an inexplicable coldness. She closed her mouth involuntarily when she saw A'ruo. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the princess was not looking at her as intimately as before these days.

"If you are happy, why don't I take charge of sending you to the Fourth Prince's residence and make you his concubine in the future?"

"No, no, no, A'ruo wants to serve the princess for the rest of her life, so she won't do such dissolute things."

Ah Ruo said this, but the hint of excitement that flashed across her face did not escape the eyes of Qingying, who had lived a new life.

Qingying pursed her lips and closed her eyes again, without saying anything. In her previous life, it was the years of affection that blinded her eyes and prevented her from discovering this ungrateful wolf.

Qingying handed a box of silver and gold bars, enough for Jinshi to live comfortably for half his life, at the door of the clinic where he now lived. After making sure that the things had reached Jinshi's hands, she returned home.

Just looking at her warehouse which was almost half empty, Qingying felt as if someone had dug a hole in her heart and it hurt so much.

It's all money!

……

Hongli rode his horse at full speed all the way and arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, panting.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and shouted

"Father Emperor! I would like to request an imperial decree granting marriage!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's hand holding the pen trembled, leaving a long mark of ink on the memorial, and asked calmly:

"Which girl?"

"She is the niece of the Empress Dowager, Princess Qingying of the Ulanara clan. I have been in love with Princess Qingying for a long time and I sincerely want to marry her as my legitimate wife. I hope the Emperor will grant my wish."

The emperor calmly put down the paper and inkstone in his hand, looked up at his son who was kneeling on the ground and said nothing after that.

"It's Princess Qingying. I originally chose a girl from the Fucha family as your first wife. Now you can make your own decision."

The emperor's words were sarcastic. If Hongli didn't handle it well, not only might the decree of marriage not be given, but his career as a prince would probably also come to an end.

But Hongli was indeed quite talented. He did not rush to refute his father's words, but kowtowed respectfully first, and then said

"Your Majesty, you are only thinking about me, and I know that. But I feel that the Fucha clan is the most powerful in the capital right now. If I marry the daughter of the Fucha clan at this time, it will inevitably cause those powerful clans to have inappropriate thoughts in the future. Instead of that, it is better to take the initiative to choose a member of the Ulanara clan, whom I like and who can compete with the Fucha clan. This will kill two birds with one stone."

Hongli spoke calmly, as if what he was talking about was just an ordinary little thing.

The emperor looked at his son in front of him, as if he saw himself in the past, and praised him generously.

"Of all my sons, you are the most similar to me when I was young. Well, since it is what you want, then let it be as you wish. Your bride selection ceremony will be held in a few days, so go back and prepare well. Your mother will help you choose the best one."
