Chapter 632: Chapter 632: The Destiny Princess vs. The Ambitious Younger Sister (Fifteen)
Within the mansion of Huang Mingge, when she heard the news coming from Marquis Wenyanâs Mansion, Huang Mingge knew in her heart that it was likely that the scheme against Huang Changge had been exposed.
As for herself⊠recalling the words she had rushed to say to Huang Changge at Qinghuang Palace, Huang Mingge deeply regretted why she had been so foolish.
Huang Changge would definitely not let her off!
Huang Mingge nervously awaited the imperial decree in her residence, even guessing how the Imperial Mother would deal with her. Framing the Crown Prince was certainly a grave offense deserving of demotion to commoner status, and if the Imperial Mother were a bit more ruthlessâŠ
Huang Mingge shivered, she dared not think further.
However, after waiting for many days, the royal decree from the palace still hadnât arrived.
The issue at Marquis Wenyanâs Mansion also settled down, and it seemed as though this matter had just passed.
Several days later, Huang Mingge finally realized, she was safe.
Could it be that Shi Qingyi was truly devoted to her, gritting his teeth and not betraying her? Huang Mingge thought joyfully, but then reconsidered, as she had once confessed openly to Huang Changge.
She must have found no evidence against me, Huang Mingge thought with concealed pride: even if they know it was me, what can they do? Without evidence, even if the Imperial Mother favors you, youâre powerless.
She thought that although she was currently confined, with her father in the court, considering her fatherâs status, the Imperial Mother definitely wouldnât keep her locked up for long.
After all, she was also the Imperial Motherâs legitimate daughter, her future would certainly not be too bleak.
If Gu Shengyin knew her petty thoughts, he would likely laugh out loud: this pitiful yet despicable girl, still dreaming such fanciful dreams!
But now, she was facing a distressing matter.
âThat Shi Qingyi, fatherâs poor judgment of character. Originally, father had planned to wait until you turned eighteen and then arrange your grand wedding. Who would have known such a thing would happen,â Gu Shengyin listened helplessly to her father prattling in the Phoenix Monarchâs Inviting Phoenix Palace.
âI have already decided, on the eighth of next month, a grand selection will be held in the palace. All eligible young men from influential ministerâs families will be sent into the palace for selection. Itâs not just you, Changge, who will get married, but also your sisters of similar ages need to have their legal spouses decided.â
The Phoenix Monarch actually had some ulterior motives, Huang Mingge was already fourteen years old, and it was time for her to be betrothed, but she was currently kept under house arrest outside in the Princess Mansion, and now it seemed the Phoenix Emperor was quite disgusted with this daughter, absolutely forbidding her mention.
Now borrowing the occasion of the grand selection, he could indeed try to bring her up to Phoenix Emperor.
Gu Shengyin could guess some of the Phoenix Monarchâs intentions, and she didnât object to them.
Huang Mingge continues to cause trouble outside; if she became complacent, it would be harder to act against her.
HoweverâŠ
Speaking of the selection, Gu Shengyin internally refused.
To choose among a multitude of men, several to become her legal spouse, secondary spouse, and monarchâs attendant.
That imagery, Gu Shengyin felt slightly cold thinking about it and moreover⊠with the jealousy of a certain man, she probably wouldnât be able to live peacefully.
âFather, your daughter is not in a hurryâŠâ
âYouâre already eighteen, how are you not in a hurry?â the voice of Phoenix Monarch came from outside.
She wore the dignified and majestic Twelve Ornaments on her head, and her body was clothed in a splendid and majestic Phoenix Long Robe, clearly having just come from the court session.
âAt your age, you were already born,â Phoenix Emperor glanced at this daughter, evidently not agreeing with her statement.
