In Chang Qing Kingdom.
Inside the imperial study room…
The empress sat next to the emperor, frowning. She wanted to say something but did not know where to start.
“Empress, there is no harm in saying what you have to say,” the emperor said with a slight frown.
“Emperor…” The empress pondered for a while. “I heard that the girl is still in Prince Manor. I’ve found a few girls for Qing’er, but he refused to meet them. I don’t know what else I should do….”
The emperor knew his son well. He looked like an obedient son, but actually, he was very stubborn.
It was difficult to ask him to do something that he refused to do.
The emperor was silent for a moment. “I think the prime minister’s daughter, Liu Qingqing, is a very good girl. Empress, you arrange it and get her to go to Prince Manor. Tell them that it is my order.”
“Yes, Emperor.”
The empress lowered her gaze, a cold smile playing on her lips.
‘That Liu Qingqing is a weak girl and not as stubborn as that girl in Prince Manor… If something happened to Liu Qingqing, Emperor would not let that little girl go.’
Liu Qingqing was weak, which made it easy for the empress to control her.
She would not dare to go against the empress.
“Emperor…”
At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in, half-kneeling on the ground, and said respectfully, “There is news saying Princess Ruqing of Liu Yun Kingdom and the state preceptor will come to Chang Qing Kingdom.”
The emperor froze for a moment and smiled happily. “Is this news true?”
Liu Yun Kingdom was the most powerful kingdom in Cang Yue Mainland.
It was so powerful that no one could match it.
Princess Feng Ruqing and the state preceptor were the strongest people on the mainland, and it was because of them that the entire Cang Yue Mainland had regained its peace.
However, these strong people usually would not care about small kingdoms.
So, why did they suddenly come to Chang Qing Kingdom?
“Emperor, everything I have just said is true, and all the people of Liu Yun Kingdom know about it.” The guard was still kneeling respectfully.
All kingdoms had secret spies in Liu Yun Kingdom.
These spies had no malicious intent, but they were there to just keep an eye on Feng Ruqing’s and Nan Xian’s whereabouts.
Both of them were like the gods in everyone’s eyes.
Not only Chang Qing Kingdom, but all the kingdoms nearby knew that Feng Ruqing was visiting Chang Qing Kingdom.
“Then, has there been a rumor from Liu Yun Kingdom about why they are coming here?”
“I don’t know.”
The guard bowed his head.
The emperor pondered for a while. He stood up from his chair, a light flashed in his gaze. “Send someone to the city gate immediately. If they come, notify me, and I will meet them personally.” He stroked his sleeve and spoke boldly.
The empress’s face was also filled with joy. She had only heard rumors of these two people and just saw them through the portrait.
She had never imagined that she would be able to see them in person.
“Emperor…” The empress lowered her gaze and smiled faintly. “Why don’t we guess what they are here for…”
“Do you know why?” The emperor looked at the empress in surprise.
“Through Princess Ruqing’s movements over the years, we surely know about her love for young girls. She has taken in some talented young girls as disciples over the years, and Liu Qingqing that Emperor mentioned just now is one of the talented girls in our Chang Qing Kingdom.”
Liu Qingqing was weak but intelligent. If the emperor wanted to find a concubine for Murong Qing, she would be the first to come to mind.
However, she was still useless because her weakness made her an easy target to be controlled by others.
