Chapter 670: Empress Shi Refuses to Meet Xiao Yue

Xiao Yue was not aware of Xilin's secret spying. When she saw Jiang Suining frowning slightly, she thought it was because of the marriage, so she asked subconsciously.

"So you don't agree with me going to marry a foreign princess?"

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows, "Princess, you are joking. Marriage is a major matter, and it is not something I can discuss. As for whether the princess wants to go to marry, it depends on the emperor, the empress, or even the princess herself. I have no right to express my opinion."

Jiang Suining's words sounded distant, but there was nothing wrong with them.

Xiao Yue frowned and looked at Jiang Suining. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, she just kept a calm expression and thought to herself.

If at the beginning she had a vague expectation of changing the world and having a different career, now she is more worried.

She was indeed not satisfied with her current situation, but of course she could not accept changing to a worse situation, one that might even threaten her safety.

"Is the relationship between Xilin and Beiyang really that bad?" Xiao Yue once again met Jiang Suining's gaze and asked.

This time, it was Jiang Suining's turn to remain silent.

I'm afraid everyone in the palace knows very well that Xilin and Beiyang are only maintaining superficial peace. As a princess, could it be that Xiao Yue doesn't know anything about this?

She still remembered the first time she met Xiao Yue, he was in high spirits, full of ambition and looked like he was going to do something big.

Later, Xiao Yue defeated the Xilin Kingdom envoy at the banquet and became a big star. Since then, could it be that Xiao Yue never paid attention to the news of Xilin Kingdom again?

Jiang Suining did not hide the expression on his face, so Xiao Yue naturally understood what Jiang Suining meant.

She lowered her eyes guiltily, and realized that she didn't pay enough attention to these things.

But it’s not her fault, right?

Xiao Yue made excuses for herself in her heart.

After all, she is an outsider, so it is normal that she does not know about the relationship between Beiyang and Xilin countries, as well as the previous marriages of princesses.

Besides, she had been planning to cooperate with Xiao Yi for some time, in order to teach Jiang Suining a lesson and achieve her own goals through Xiao Yi. In this case, she naturally had no energy or thoughts to pay attention to other things.

Although she comforted herself in this way in her heart, looking at Jiang Suining's expression, Xiao Yue still had to admit that she seemed to have been standing still since she traveled through time.

Although she had countless beautiful expectations and imaginations in her heart, every day when she opened her eyes, she was still the fifth princess, staying in the palace, leading a boring but worry-free life, and being served by others.

All the wishes are nice, but there is almost no action taken.

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat, and this thought suddenly made her feel very frustrated.

Am I destined to be an ordinary or even mediocre person, unable to accomplish anything great? Even if I travel through time, everything will still be the same as before, just like when I was working and studying, day after day, like a stagnant pool of water without any ripples?

A huge feeling of disappointment and unwillingness surged up and was clearly shown on Xiao Yue's face.

Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue, and the feeling that the person in front of him was out of tune with this era resurfaced.

However, Jiang Suining said nothing. He just stood there and watched Xiao Yue leave.

After Xiao Yue left, Wei Yao and Lu Yan, who had been paying attention to the situation in the courtyard, came out.

“Once the news of the marriage came out, the palace will definitely be in turmoil again. But I didn’t expect the Fifth Princess to be so slow to react. Even at this time, she still can’t figure out the relationship between Xilin and Beiyang.” Wei Yao’s tone was a mixture of emotion and mockery.

Although Xiao Yue's frame-up had passed, she still felt a little upset. So every time Wei Yao mentioned Xiao Yue, her tone was not very good.

Lu Yan couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's right. No matter what the relationship between Xilin and Beiyang is, the marriage is not a good thing after all. I heard that Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu are already trying their best to find a solution. Judging from the current situation, maybe the fifth princess will really go to marry in the end."

Wei Yao looked at the direction where Xiao Yue left, and said thoughtfully: "Not necessarily. After all, the relationship between the two countries is like this. I don't think the emperor will agree."

"I think that the news has spread so widely in the palace now, and it must have the emperor's tacit approval."

After all, from last year to now, the imperial city has been very unstable, so many things have happened, and the current political situation is not completely stable. If the two countries go to war at this time, it will be of no benefit to Beiyang Kingdom.

Considering the overall situation, if the marriage can temporarily maintain peace and give Beiyang Kingdom time to stabilize its political affairs, both the emperor and the court officials may agree.

Jiang Suining did not participate in the discussion between the two, but just looked in the direction where Xiao Yue had just left.

"According to the time stated in the Xilin Kingdom's letter, the Xilin envoy has been on the road for some time and will arrive at the imperial city soon. We will know whether the marriage will take place or not by then. As for what we need to do, we need to familiarize ourselves with all the banquets and receptions before the envoy arrives to ensure that there will be no problems."

Wei Yao and Lu Yan both nodded in agreement and without further discussion, the three of them began to deal with the matters at hand.

In the next few days, the news about the marriage became more and more popular in the palace. The old stories of the princesses who were married off were also discussed again.

Xiao Yue went from being clueless in the beginning to knowing everything now. She became more and more uneasy and finally could no longer sit still.

"Fifth Princess, the Queen said that she is not feeling well today, so there is no need to pay respects. Please go back."

Outside Queen Shi's bedroom, the palace maid bowed respectfully to keep Xiao Yue out.

"Since my mother is not feeling well, I must visit her in person. Go and report to her, and then say..."

"Fifth Princess." The maid interrupted Xiao Yue, still maintaining the posture of greeting, looking up at her, "The Queen said that she is not feeling well and does not want to see the princess."

The Fifth Princess was not the Empress's biological daughter, and they were not close to each other on weekdays, so why should she visit? Moreover, during the flower viewing banquet, the Fifth Princess was so rude when she spoke to the Empress, and now she came up to her eagerly, and everyone knew that it was nothing more than the matter of marriage.

Besides, the marriage involves more than just the Fifth Princess. Helping one might offend the other. Her Majesty said that it is better not to get involved in this matter.

Xiao Yue frowned as she looked at the palace maid in front of her. She was feeling unhappy when she heard a greeting from behind her...
