Mrs. Lan didn't expect things to get to this point. She protected Lan Caiying and said, "Master, hitting someone is not a slap in the face. If you hurt Caiying's face, how will Caiying get married in the future?"

"It's all you!" Prime Minister Lan pointed at Mrs. Lan angrily: "If you hadn't discussed it with me and took the two of them to see the Crown Princess privately, you wouldn't have caused unnecessary trouble. From today on, no one will You are not allowed to leave the house unless others allow it.”

Mrs. Lan did not dare to disobey Prime Minister Lan's order.

In this family, he is the absolute male master, and anyone who disobeys him will die.

But things didn't go so smoothly.

Prime Minister Lan wanted to make up for it, but Xie Jinyun dug a bigger hole for him, causing other aristocratic families to completely lose trust in Prime Minister Lan.

"Since you want to show off, you can't just make verbal promises, otherwise the dispute you provoked today will be meaningless." Gu Changning already knew Mrs. Lan's thoughts from Xie Jinyun.

Xie Jinyun approached Gu Changning and asked softly: "Husband, do you plan to fake it for real?"

Hearing the woman's soft voice, Gu Changning held her in his arms: "How do you call it a fake show? I will confer the queen's marriage and let the Lan family choose one of the two daughters to enter the palace. As a queen, but I haven’t ascended the throne yet and cannot be called an emperor, then this queen can only be my father’s queen.”

Xie Jinyun's lips froze, and the next moment he smiled: "I'll ask someone to prepare the phoenix robe and crown, and send someone to the Lan family immediately."

"Well, the sooner the better."

After the couple reached an agreement, they handed over the matter to Nanny Yuan, followed by Bai Lu and Xiang Lu. A total of twelve palace attendants holding colorful phoenix crowns walked out of the palace gate one after another and got on the carriage to go to Lan's house.

In order to remedy the situation, Prime Minister Lan invited the Ge family, the Cui family, and the Meng family, and said: "Now, the Qin family is still ill, and the Qin family's illness is strange. Without the Qin family, the Qintian prison will be like a copper wall." , there is no way to find out the date of Emperor Jingren’s funeral.”

"The more tension comes to this, the less our family will be able to be disturbed by external factors and start fighting among ourselves."

"What the head of the Ge family told me today, I, Lan, swear to God, I never thought about sending my two daughters to the East Palace to compete with the crown princess for the position of queen. Everything was done by the ignorant woman in the back house. Tonight After I returned to the Lan Mansion, I scolded my wife severely, saying that if I lied, I would die badly. "

Prime Minister Lan raised his hand to swear a poisonous oath in order for several aristocratic family heads to trust him.

When the three family heads heard this, they looked at each other one after another.

But at this moment, the steward of the Lan Mansion hurried into the wing, stood outside the screen, and reported to Prime Minister Lan: "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Prime Minister Lan was slightly startled, and before he could lower his hand that he had raised to the sky, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the screen: "It's so late at night, how can someone come to the palace?"

"I don't know, this servant is from the Crown Princess's palace." The steward of the Lan family replied.

Prime Minister Lan frowned. Before he could recover, Patriarch Ge stood up and said, "Since you are from the Crown Princess's palace, there must be something very important. Why don't Patriarch Lan return home first?"

Prime Minister Lan's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although he doesn't like the prince and the princess, he is a monarch and his ministers after all, and he must abide by the etiquette and laws that should be observed. Nowadays, people coming from the East Palace cannot neglect them.

Soon, Prime Minister Lan left Jun again early.

But when a rift occurs, it is not so easy to repair. Besides, the head of the Ge family is also ambitious. Several noble girls in his backyard are preparing to enter the palace in the future. Why is the queen from the Lan family?

After Prime Minister Lan left the wing, the head of the Ge family said to the head of the Cui family and the head of the Meng family: "Don't you want to know why the princess sent people out of the palace so late?"

Patriarch Meng and Patriarch Cui looked at each other.

The head of the Meng family said: "Yes, why did the Crown Princess suddenly send someone to the Lan family?"

Patriarch Ge's face immediately fell, and Patriarch Cui said: "Lan Xiang just swore a poisonous oath to the sky. Come to think of it, he really doesn't know about Mrs. Lan's entry into the palace today."

"Maybe he really doesn't know, but it's hard to say whether he has such thoughts. Tell me, if the Crown Princess allows your family to have a junior position, are you still willing to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince?" The head of the Ge family asked himself ambition.

Their family opposed Gu Changning's rule because they were afraid that after Gu Changning ascended the throne, they would no longer have any room to speak in the court.

If the Crown Princess is willing to give up her position as Queen, the meaning will be different.

Seeing the hesitation of Meng and Cui, the head of the Ge family made some analysis: "When the daughter of the Lan family becomes the queen, the Lan Xiang can also accuse us of secretly colluding with Prince Jing in order to monopolize the holy favor. At that time, my Ge family will , the Meng family, the Cui family, and the Qin family, will they become the new emperor’s meat and potatoes and be slaughtered by others?”

Meng and Cui took a deep breath.

Patriarch Cui retorted: "No, Lan Xiang would not do such a thing."

The head of the Meng family was silent.

The head of the Ge family looked at the head of the Meng family: "It's not just a few members of our family who have died. If one of the Jiu Lian clan is killed, our four great families will be wiped out."

The word "Jue Hou" was like a basin of ice-cold water, poured hard on the head of the Cui family, making him shiver a few times.

Oh my god, this... they can't afford the gamble.

"Then what's the advice of Patriarch Ge?" Patriarch Cui asked with some anxiety.

The head of the Ge family said: "Just go to the Lan family and see if you can find out. Mrs. Lan went to the palace today to talk to the Crown Princess about the position of Queen. The Crown Princess agreed to give up the queen's position. Within a few hours, the Crown Princess sent someone out. The palace went to the Lan family, presumably for the sake of the throne."

After saying this, the head of the Ge family stood up and walked out of the side room.

Patriarch Meng and Patriarch Cui followed behind.

On the Lan family's side.

Mrs. Lan's personal maid quickly walked into the inner courtyard: "Madam, madam, someone is coming from the palace, someone is coming from the palace."

The maid shouted as she walked away.

After hearing what the maid said, Lan Caidi and Lan Caiying opened the door and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Lan just opened the door and walked out: "Who is here?"

"It's Aunt Yuan next to the Crown Princess, and there are many other palace attendants. Each palace attendant is holding something in her hand. It looks like she is wearing a wedding dress, and there is also a phoenix crown." The maid reported everything she saw to the mistress in the courtyard. .

Lan Caiying's eyes lit up and she confirmed again: "Feng Guan, can you see clearly?"

"It's Feng Guan, it's Feng Guan." The maid nodded firmly.

Lan Caiying had already guessed why those palace people came out of the palace at night. She was the first to rush out of the courtyard and go to the front yard.

Lan Caidi is not a fool and naturally understands the meaning of the phoenix crown.

Whoever wears the phoenix crown is the queen.

What's the use of Lan Caiying running so fast? She is the queen in the eyes of her parents.

"Mom, my sister has such an impetuous temper. If she enters the palace as the queen, I'm afraid she will cause some trouble in the future. My daughter will not be easy to get along with when she looks at the princess." Lan Caidi held Madam Lan's hand tightly, eyes in her eyes. Full of ambition.

Mrs. Lan's heart was beating very fast now. She didn't expect the Crown Princess to send Feng Guan directly to the Lan family.

She held Lan Caidi's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, mother will make arrangements."
