Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 79

Chapter 79
"Daughter, your mum knows that you are suffering in your heart, but you must endure . If you still have unrealistic fantasies and think of irrelevant stuff, why don't I get Anru to come and accompany you for a few days?"





Pei Yaran was taken aback . "What Anru? Who is she?"

Lu Ningxiang smiled . "Your eldest paternal cousin's daughter, Pei Anru . She's thirteen this year . Since He Ying has gone back to the Pei Residence, there is no one from our family to accompany you . Thus, your mum was thinking about bringing Anru over . "

"Mum, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to have your daughter find a prospective husband-to-be for Anru?" Her voice had become ferocious, and the expression in Pei Yaran's eyes changed as she immediately released Lu Ningxiang's hand .

This appearance gave Lu Ningxiang a fright . "Your mum was only casually bringing that up . If you are unwilling, I won't let Anru come . "





"Mum, tell me . Was it Dad who came up with the idea of having Anru enter the palace?" Pei Yaran watched Lu Ningxiang fixedly, an earnest look plastered on her face .

Only after a long while did Lu Ningxiang nod . "It was your dad who suggested that, but taking your feelings into consideration, I wasn't willing to do it . Your mum won't force you . "

Pei Yaran sneered before walking to the main seat and sitting down . "Dad really knows how to play chess . Who does he want to marry Anru to? The most powerful people in the palace are Prince Hao and Commandery Prince Xie respectively . Although neither has yet to take an official wife, Anru's status isn't even close to being worthy of either . "

She was very clear about her father's intention . Maybe he wants to marry Anru to . . . Pei Qianhao . Only by doing this can he ensure Prince Hao's support by tightly pulling onto him . Why is he sacrificing me to help another woman succeed?!

"He doesn't have that intention . It's just that Anru has never entered the palace before, only knowing that her aunt is the current Empress Dowager . As a result, this little la . s . s was very excited simply to meet you . "

"Meet me? I am a widow in the imperial palace, lonely and cold . Can Anru accompany me for me whole life and not marry in this lifetime?" Pei Yaran replied in a frigid tone .

"It's late tonight . Stay in the Compa . s . sionate Peace Palace for tonight . I will order someone to send you back to the residence early next morning . " Pei Yaran then instructed a palace maid to come in and take Lu Ningxiang to the side palace hall of the Compa . s . sionate Peace Palace to rest .

Lu Ningxiang knew that her daughter was unhappy, thus, she bowed at her before she left . As a mother, she understood her daughter's feelings towards Prince Hao the best .

It's just that, the two of them absolutely can't be together!





As Pei Yaran watched Lu Ningxiang's departing figure, the expression in her eyes became serious . She walked to the entrance of the hall and gazed at the brightly moonlit courtyard .


Right now, I only need to ascertain one matter before I can rest a . s . sured . When Pei Qianhao finds out that Su Xi-er is in the Beauty Palace, how will he deal with it? Will he let her stay, or chase her away?

However, Pei Yaran wasn't aware that Su XI-er would neither be forced to stay, nor chased away . She was instead directly presented to Pei Qianhao .

The horse carriage travelled increasingly faster without stopping to rest for the whole night .

Even though Su Xi-er felt very uncomfortable from the b . u . mpy trip, she didn't reveal a sliver of annoyance on her countenance .

She knew that the faster the horse carriage travelled, the further away she was from Beimin, and the nearer she would be to Nanzhao .

After travelling for another eight hours, Wu Ling's voice sounded . "Ahead is Zhi County . Prince Hao is in the county's government office . [1] .

Su Xi-er a . s . sented softly . She was familiar with all of the towns and villages in Nanzhao's domain, regardless of their size . Zhi County doesn't belong to Nanzhao, which indicates that we are still within Beimin .

The carriage slowed down after entering the county . Approximately 10 minutes later, the horse carriage stopped outside the County Government Office's back door .

1 . You can think of it as something like a yamen .
