NovelEnglish233 The Empress Wants to See Murong Run
Concubine Jing and Old Master Qiu had similar personalities. They were both quiet and did not fight for anything in the palace.
This time, Old Madam Qiu had brought back a piece of news.
She talked about the harmonious relationship between the Emperor and the Empress. The harem was actually nothing. The Emperor respected Concubine Jing and doted on her well.
It was all because of Old Master Qiu.
Old Master Qiu was already mentally prepared for this.
Back then, when Concubine Jing was about to enter the palace, Old Master Qiu had said to her, “The current Empress is a child I watched grow up. The two of them are deeply in love. I’m afraid others can’t interfere. If you only wanted to find a place to hide, you don’t have to choose this path.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConcubine Jing wanted to enter the palace because she did not want to marry anyone else. She had seen too many resentful partners, and she did not want to be a woman who only knew how to wander around the back of the house all day.
In the end, Concubine Jing still entered the palace and was quickly conferred the title of Concubine. It had been five years.
For the past five years, Old Master Qiu would occasionally send a letter to Concubine Jing, telling her to know her place in the harem. However, she had to know how to protect herself and not be bullied.
Old Master Qiu was a person who knew his limits. Now that he heard Murong Run mention the fruit, he immediately thought of Concubine Jing.
“That child probably couldn’t bear to eat it herself and gave the fruit to the Empress.”
The Empress was from the current Duke Yong Manor. If they wanted to find out the source of the fruit, it would not take much effort.
Moreover, Old Master Qiu did not have any intentions to hide the source. If he wanted to hide the fact that the fruit came from their family, he could just cut off his connections in Nanhe Town. He was more afraid that some people would find out about the child.
According to Murong Run, that child was quite pitiful.
Although Old Master Qiu had never seen Little Ah Yu before, he still had a good impression of the little child that Murong Run liked.
Hearing Old Master Qiu’s analysis, Murong Run was a little nervous. “So it’s the Empress who wants to see me?”
Old Master Qiu frowned. “Don’t be anxious. There’s still plenty of time. Let me investigate and see what’s going on.”
Murong Run: “If Her Majesty asks where this fruit came from, should I still give the same story as previously?”
They had previously discussed that they would say that they had bought it along the way.
This was also what Murong Run usually liked to do. Sometimes, when he encountered something he was interested in, he would not ask where it came from. He would not even bargain and would buy it all.
Now, there was still a pile of things in the Murong family that he did not know what they were for. It was the same for those that were broken and thrown away.
Fortunately, the Murong Family did not lack money and it was better for the Young Master to buy things randomly than to take up gambling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOld Master Qiu nodded. “That’s the truth, but you have to push back the timeline. There’s no need to explain in detail.”
If the lie was too perfect, it would be easy to expose. It was better to have some loopholes.
Half a month later, Old Master Qiu found out that it was indeed the Empress who wanted to see him. It was not because of anything else, but because after Consort Jing shared the fruit with the Empress, she mentioned Murong Run.
The Empress wanted to arrange a marriage for Murong Run, so this chrysanthemum banquet was a disguised blind date banquet.
Murong Run was now 15 years old and had long reached the age where he could meet someone he liked.
“It seems like we were wrong. Since the Empress has good intentions, go ahead.”
It was actually better to bring the elders along for matchmaking events. However, this was only an obscure blind date. There were other young masters who wanted to participate, so it was not appropriate to bring the elders along.
Murong Run was in a daze when he boarded the carriage that rushed to Wanning City.
When Madam Murong found out about this, she smiled so widely that her face was about to reach the back of her head. “This matter can’t be delayed. Go to the capital to rest and reorganize yourself first. Don’t visit the Empress in a tired state.”
This was the Empress who wanted to be the matchmaker. At the very least, the potential daughter-in-law would be from a noble family. The daughter-in-law she chose would definitely be better than the ones they picked themselves!
