g afraid Too scared to come out and see people""The Fourth Prince's stratagem of using provocation is useless against me."Having finished speaking, Yun Si turned to look at the people behind him, "Don...Go to the Prince's Mansion of Beijiang

An Nanlin was taken aback. What had Liu Yan'er just said Was she going to the Bei Jiang Wangfu

Before he could ask anything, Liu Yaner had already run away, and no one knew what she was up to.

An Nanlin stood there for a moment, thinking. Right now, no one really knew what the emperor was thinking. He had wanted to kill King Beijang before, but now his attitude towards him has completely changed, leaving everyone guessing.

But the strength of King Beijiang is well-known to all the officials in the court. If Your Majesty truly sees this through, then King Beijiang would be the biggest contender for the throne in the future.

He has been keeping a close eye on the movements of court officials these days. Many are eager to curry favor with the King of the Northern Frontier.

The Emperor's attitude is unknown for how long it will last, so everyone is watching and waiting.

Some people are unable to connect with King of the Northern Frontier because he is notoriously solitary. In the past, due to the emperor's persecution of him, officials were eager to distance themselves from him.

So now there's no way to approach the King of Beijiang.

But he was different. As Annanlin, the father-in-law of the King of Beijang, he had an advantage over any other minister if he wanted to curry favor with the King of Beijang.

But flattering the King of Beijiang is no joke, he must make all preparations carefully.

If the Emperor still wants to abandon the King of the Northern Border in the future, he also needs a way out.

Thinking this way, An Nánlín also didn't care about the damaged portrait. He hurried out of the study.

On the other side, Liu Yanne ran to her daughter An Jiaxin's courtyard, "Xinxin, Xinxin, where are you"

At this moment, An Jiaxin, who was having Liu Yan'er apply various lotions and potions to her face, jumped in fright at Liu Yan'er's shout.

Liu Yan'er rushed directly into An Jixing's room, "Oh my god sister, what are you doing How did you paint yourself like this"

Anya's face was coated with several layers of makeup, a mixture of white and red that looked terrible.

An Jiaxin nonchalantly replied, "Mother, this is the rouge I bought at the cosmetics shop yesterday. They say if you use it every day, you can keep a beautiful complexion forever."

"…"

Liu Yan'er looked at the vials and bottles in the maid's hands with suspicion, "Could it be fake"

"Mother, you often visit this rouge shop, don't you I find it hard to believe they would damage their own reputation."

"Oh my, look at you with that grease on your face. Hurry up, hurry up! Wash it off first, then change into something nice and put on some makeup."

An Jiaxin raised an eyebrow. "How so Are there guests at the mansion today"

"Oh, no."

Liu Yan'er looked at the two maidservants, “You two go down first and prepare some hot water for the young lady. Later, help her dress up nicely.”

"Yes," the two maids curtsied and, putting down their things, quickly retreated.

After the door was closed, Liu Yaner looked at An Xixin and whispered mysteriously, "Xixin, weren't you always clamoring to go to Bei Jiang Wangfu and meet Bei Jiang Wang a few days ago"

When she mentioned King of Beijang, An Jiaxin's eyes widened suddenly, and she jumped to her feet. "Mother, what did you say Me... could I go to the Beijang Royal Palace"

Liu Yan'er patted her shoulder, "Yes, today I will take you there."

"Really Then... then I could really see King Beijiang up close"

She had heard of this King of the North Border before, but she had never met him. She knew he was a prince that the emperor disliked very much, so she had never even considered paying attention to him.

As a daughter of a noble family, she always dreamed of marrying someone powerful and influential. Either she'd become a concubine in the palace or a princess/secondary consort for one of the young princes.

Now, all the young ladies in the capital know that the Emperor is elderly and may abdicate soon.

So their eyes were not fixed on the emperor, but on the prince of the capital who was most likely to succeed him.

Previously, most of them were focused on Second Prince Mo Yunren. Back then, the Emperor seemed to favor Mo Yunren more, and everyone believed that Mo Yunren would be the successor.

Because ever since Mo Yun broke his legs and arms, he lost any chance of inheriting the throne!

So everyone started looking at Fourth Prince Mo Yunze again. The position of the princess consort in the Fourth Prince's mansion was still vacant, after all.

Anya once thought about marrying Mo Yunze. But that day, by chance, she saw that man of unparalleled talent and beauty, who was also full of heroism, from afar on the street. She was smitten with him instantly.

She was deeply infatuated with the man, and only after sending someone to investigate did she discover that he was actually the neglected Northern Border King.

After much deliberation, she wrestled with her own heart for a long time and ultimately decided to marry this man. But when she brought it up to her mother, her mother not only refused but also gave her a severe scolding.

Her mother said that following the King of Beijang would only lead to a dead end. Now Liu Shi is missing, isn't she It's all because of the King of Beijang's doing.

If she entered the Beijang Royal Manor, if something happened in the future, the entire manor would be implicated.

That day, after hearing her mother speak, she tried to let go of that idea. Though she desperately wanted to follow that man, she still felt that her life was more important.

At this moment, what did she hear Her mother said she was taking her to the Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion

Liu Yan'er saw An Jiaxin's expression of disbelief, she narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "Mother didn't lie to you, your father and mother will take you there later."

And yet, despite her happiness, An Jiaxin still retained a sliver of reason. "Mother, why Before, you didn't agree to me going to the Northern Frontier Wangfu"

"Times have changed. Your mother only heard from your father that the wind direction in the court has shifted, and perhaps the Fourth Prince is still no match for the King of Beijiang."

"Huh What do you mean"

"As for the specific details of that woman from the backyard, I'm not entirely sure. But judging by what your father said, it seems plausible. Since we've tried so many ways to get into the Fourth Prince's mansion and haven't succeeded, perhaps we should change our target now."

Anya acted like a child, shaking Liu Yanne's arm, "But Mother, your daughter doesn't want to be small. Doesn't An Xuetang still hold the position of North Border Princess You must find a way to get rid of her."

Liu Yaner's eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't worry about this, Mother will find a way. That An Xuetang is nothing but a crude woman, what does she have to compare with my precious daughter"

"I can win over her wretched mother, you can surely win over that wretched little brat!"

Hearing Liu Yan'er say this, An Jiaxin immediately giggled, "Mother, I knew you would definitely have a way. Anyway, daughter doesn't care, I want to be the Princess of Beijang, and in the future, I also want to be the one who rules over the harem..."

"Shh!"

Liu Yan'er quickly covered An Jiaxin's mouth, "There are some things that shouldn't be said out loud. We know in our hearts."

An Jiaxin nodded slightly and patted Liu Yan'er's hand, signaling her to let go.

Liu Yan'er quickly urged An Jiaxin to go and get ready, while she herself went to see An Nalin and check on his preparations.ter said that if he hasn't returned by mealtime, you should eat first yourself and not wait for him on an empty stomach.""It seems something happened in the palace, and your lord might not be back for...
